The corners of Shen Moye's mouth twitched. Does he look like such a useless person?
But his mother was smart. Deserting would result in punishment by military law, and pretending to be dead was a good way to save his life.
In order to reassure his mother, Shen Moye did not explain any further and acted as if he was willing to follow her advice.
Mother Shen felt relieved. Her husband had worked too hard on the battlefield and was always at the forefront of everything, but ended up like this.
So after her husband died in battle, Shen Moye suddenly became fond of hanging out in brothels, but Shen's mother was not anxious like other mothers. After all, compared to those rewards, she wanted her son to live well, get married and have children.
The army set out on the second day. Fu Yunxi sat at the window of the teahouse and watched. This was the baby-faced boy he had seen last time.
Yu Qing'an didn't expect to meet Fu Yunxi again here. He looked her up and down and said with puffed cheeks, "Brother Fu, if Mo Ye hadn't told me that you were the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, I wouldn't have known."
Seeing the confusion on the boy's face, Fu Yunxi believed that he was really naive. Just like that fox-like Shen Moye, he saw through her last outfit at a glance and not only guessed that she was a woman, but also guessed her identity.
"Mr. Yu, it's rare to see a woman dressed as a man, so it's normal that you can't recognize her." Fu Yunxi said with a smile. She had a very good impression of Yu Qing'an, who looked like a younger brother.
Wu Xin worriedly stopped him and said, "Master Host, you are already engaged, you can't fall in love with someone else."
She has just started to understand love, but she has already fallen for someone else's little lamb. It is said that the same thing applies to women calling them their younger brothers and men recognizing them as their younger sisters.
Fu Yunxi didn't expect that Wuxin thought he was such a bad person, and in a fit of anger, he cut off contact between the two of them.
Wuxin, "..."
The host's temper has become much worse. Is he angry because of embarrassment?
"But since you are going to marry Shen Moye, should I call you sister-in-law?" Yu Qing'an opened his eyes wide with an innocent look.
Fu Yunxi felt that it was a good thing that he didn't drink the tea, otherwise he would have choked.
"Mr. Yu, please call me Miss Fu, or just call me by my name." Fu Yunxi was not so particular, but she still couldn't accept being called sister-in-law directly.
The young man just nodded and said nothing more, but looked towards the crowd below.
Fu Yunxi saw the man sitting on his horse with his back straight, although he was not in the front. The person in the front was the general leading the troops this time, and Shen Moye was only the deputy general, following behind.
But for some reason, she could see him in the crowd at first sight.
Many women below saw Shen Moye's appearance and began to talk about it. She could even hear a woman in the teahouse say, "Now that General Shen is favored by His Majesty, the General's Mansion will soon be restored to its former glory. This is a good opportunity for the young lady of the Duke's Mansion. But we can marry in and become concubines."
Fu Yunxi didn't expect that before she even married into the general's mansion, someone wanted to be her sister.
Yu Qingan, who was standing on the other side, had obviously heard the women's discussion. To help his friend save some of his image, he awkwardly explained, "Miss Fu, Mo Ye usually goes to brothels to show off. You must not take it seriously. He would not marry those women as concubines. Even General Shen only married Madam Shen and did not take any concubines."
Seeing that the woman did not look angry, Yu Qing'an finally breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that he should ask Shen Moye for some reward since he had spoken so much for him.
Fu Yunxi is not so easily provoked. Shen Moye has now handed over most of his property to her. What does she have to worry about?
Shen Moye below seemed to feel the burning gaze as well, so he looked up and happened to meet the woman's bright eyes. Even if they didn't say anything, they could understand each other's intentions.
At this time, a handsome man walked towards their table. Yu Qingan hurriedly bowed. Seeing that it was the virtuous king, Fu Yunxi also bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."
"Young Master Yu, I didn't expect to see you here. Whose family is this lady from?" Although the virtuous king was said to be a playboy, he was originally just a girl in the boudoir. The virtuous king had never seen Fu Yunxi before, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes for a moment.
"Your Highness, this is the young lady of the Duke's Mansion." Yu Qing'an replied in a somewhat stiff tone, and he didn't intend to say anything else after saying this.
"So she's the daughter of the Duke's Mansion." The virtuous prince had recently heard about the engagement between the Shen Mansion and the Duke's Mansion. He didn't expect that Shen Moye was so lucky. This woman was so beautiful, and the concubines in his brother's palace were no less beautiful.
The virtuous prince looked at his subordinates with a deep gaze. This border war wasn't particularly serious; he had deliberately told the emperor to sound urgent, so that he could have his men achieve remarkable military success.
He noticed Shen Moye below, and didn't know why the emperor would let him go. If it was the Shen Moye of the past, he might still be reluctant to go.
But now Shen Moye is just a playboy. When the time comes, he can ask his men to use some conspiracy and tricks to make him die on the battlefield.
By then, the army will still be his people, and it will not be easy for his royal brother to control the military power in his hands.
Wen Jingming was currently standing on a high city wall with the emperor, from where he could see the scene below.
The wise king's idea was exactly what Wen Jingming wanted. If Shen Moye died on the battlefield, he could marry Fu Yunxi.
The emperor looked at his people and army from the city wall, and felt deeply moved.
After Shen Moye's back was out of sight, Fu Yunxi said goodbye to the virtuous king and prepared to return to the Duke's Mansion.
Yu Qing'an also followed out, looking relieved.
"Are you afraid of the virtuous king?" Fu Yunxi raised his eyebrows and said, could it be that Shen Moye had already told him about the virtuous king?
"Of course. Although this wise king looks very approachable, I always feel uneasy when talking to him. You should stay away from him." Yu Qing'an's baby face actually became serious. He always trusted his intuition.
Just like Fu Yunxi in front of him, he felt that he was someone he could get to know from the first time he saw him, but he didn't expect that she and Shen Moye would get engaged. It was also fate.
————
Shen Moye followed the army all the way to the border town. Although the people sent by the wise king had high status, most of them were mediocre. Now they wanted to go to the inn to rest after less than two days of walking.
His brows furrowed slightly. If they went to the inn, it would definitely take time. They were now heading to the border, not to enjoy the scenery along the way.
But telling the general was of no use at all, and Shen Moye couldn't take those soldiers with him, so he could only close his eyes and rest, thinking about strategy.
