What is a thermos?
"Ah... it's a cup that can keep the liquid inside at a certain temperature for a long time." Shen Xingmian gave an explanation as comprehensively and accurately as possible.
"Is there really such a wondrous thing in the world? I've never heard of it before."
Not only was Shen Zhiheng surprised, but everyone else was too. However, since it was Shen Xingmian who brought it up, everyone quickly accepted it.
Along the way, they have seen so many new things that now very little can stir their emotions.
"Alright, alright, I promise everyone will have everything ready tonight. Let's eat now, I'm so hungry after all this work~" Shen Xingmian said with a hint of coquetry.
Shen Zhiheng then came to his senses and quickly announced, "Alright, let's eat. We can't let our precious babies go hungry."
The group first raised their glasses in celebration, drinking them down in one gulp before starting their first meal back at the General's Mansion.
It's hard to describe the feeling. Although the journey wasn't particularly arduous, it still took a long time, and we witnessed so many things, including thrilling assassinations and escapes.
Although thanks to Mianmian, everything turned out alright in the end, if they had made a mistake at any point in the process, they might not be able to sit here together intact.
Today is indeed a memorable day.
After finishing their meal and cleaning up, Shen Xingmian found a few double tents and told everyone that if the room was too cold, they could set up the tents on the beds to keep warm.
We heated up a few more hand warmers so everyone could take them home to warm their beds.
She didn't use the old-fashioned hot water bottle; instead, she got electric heaters and hand warmers. Now there's no electricity in the room, so the electric heaters won't work, and only the hand warmers will, but they won't last until the middle of the night.
The moment the hand warmer was taken out, it won Shen Xingyan's enthusiastic approval.
It was fluffy and warm, and the patterns were all very cute. The little girl couldn't resist it at all. She immediately ran back to her room and carefully tucked it into her blanket.
The design that Shen Xingmian found for Xiao Yanyue was one that she had specially chosen.
She used to love an animated movie with an adorable black dragon with big eyes. In the sequel, the dragon got a pure white wife just like itself.
The hand warmer has these two images printed on it, it's very cute, and she thinks it's perfect for Xiao Yanyue.
That big-eyed cute dragon couldn't fly because its tail was broken. Later, with the help of the protagonist, its tail was repaired, and it could not only spread its wings and soar freely, but its combat power was also incredibly awesome!
Super strong!
She looks a lot like Xiao Yanyue.
Although he is still a child and not very good at fighting, he is so hardworking and talented, so his future is definitely limitless.
She eagerly awaits the day she sees him spread his wings and soar into the sky.
This hand warmer is just a beautiful wish.
After settling everyone in and quickly washing up, she finally lay back down on the bed.
It's not a cramped bed in a tent where it's hard to turn over, but a large bed in a safe room with tiles and walls, where you can roll around freely.
I'm so happy!
They had traveled so far and finally reached their destination. A new life was about to begin. How wonderful.
Filled with anticipation for her new life, Shen Xingmian soon drifted off to sleep peacefully.
Meanwhile, Shen Zhiheng was fiddling with a lantern. After it was finished, he directed Shen Yunqi to hang it outside the gate. This was his signal to his subordinates that they could come to visit at night.
So, in the middle of the night, while Shen Xingmian was sleeping soundly, five people sneaked into the General's Mansion one after the other. Upon seeing that Shen Zhiheng was safe and sound, they all knelt down on one knee with excitement and greeted him with choked voices.
Shen Yunqi quickly helped them up and made them sit down to talk.
Once everyone had arrived, Shen Zhiheng spoke calmly: "Tell me about the recent situation in Yong'an Town, and the information you've received."
Shen Zhiheng's most valued deputy general, Lu Zhan, immediately stood up and clasped his hands in greeting: "Reporting to the general, after you returned to the capital, people from the capital immediately came with an imperial edict, forcefully demanding to take over our people."
Several people who disagreed were beaten and had their legs broken in public...
The brothers had no choice but to hold back and wait for your return, but what they received was news of your exile.
There were also rumors that you were unconscious and there was absolutely no way you could come back here alive. The brothers didn't believe it and kept waiting.
The imperial envoy remained, lording it over everyone, but he only dared to boss people around and didn't dare to interfere in border affairs, so things were relatively peaceful.
"Are those brothers who lost their legs still alive?" Shen Yunqi asked hurriedly.
"They're alive, but their condition is terrible. I'm afraid they won't last much longer..." Lu Zhan's expression suddenly darkened.
"Don't worry, I'll take some men to check on them first thing tomorrow morning. They'll be fine. As for the imperial envoy, you don't need to worry about him; I'll handle it myself."
After a moment's hesitation, Shen Zhiheng said firmly, "You should go back and remain still. I will take care of everything else so that you have no worries."
The Shen family members have returned this time not to bring danger to anyone.
"General, what are you saying? We have been longing for your return, and we would go through fire and water for you! If there is anything we need to do, just give the order. Which soldier in the camp didn't have their life saved by you, General!"
Lu Zhan's urgency was genuine. Without the Shen family's full support, these people would likely have long since perished under the enemy's blades, starving and freezing.
Besides, they had truly waited far too long and had long disliked that arrogant imperial envoy.
These military generals had the utmost contempt for those who enjoyed the fruits of their labor while looking down on the pedantic scholars.
"In that case, go back and tell everyone that I have returned, so you can rest assured. Wait patiently for three days, and there will be a great change in the North."
Seeing that he still had no further instructions, Lu Zhan did not press the matter further, clasped his hands in agreement, and led the others away.
"Father, what do you plan to do?" Shen Yunqi had a general idea, but still wanted to discuss it first.
"Tomorrow morning, I'll take Mianmian to see those people first. They are all loyal and brave people who dared to speak up for the Shen family and that's why they suffered this calamity. We can't let them down."
"Yes, with Mianmian here, we can definitely save those people. But Father, have you thought about how to explain this? Such severe injuries should have been fatal, but they were healed so quickly... This..."
"What's the big deal?"
Shen Zhiheng stroked his beard, smiled but said nothing.
