Qingtan returned at this time.
“Miss, my investigation has revealed that there is indeed a Qinglong Escort Agency here. However, the cost of transporting sheep to Shengjing is slightly higher.”
Shen Danru nodded in understanding: "It's quite far from Shengjing, so it's reasonable for them to raise prices. As long as we can deliver it safely to Shengjing, I'll find a way to make it back."
Upon hearing their conversation, Yuan Biao immediately understood that the young lady wanted to transport the sheep from the grasslands back to Shengjing.
He immediately suggested, "Miss, this is simple. It's just a matter of transporting the sheep back to Shengjing. Leave this to me. I'll talk to the leader and ask him to send two disciples from the Absolute Kill Sect to personally deliver the sheep to Shengjing."
Shen Danru, unwilling to trouble the Absolute Killing Sect with trivial matters, politely declined.
She had only helped Brother Lei twice, and he had already taken good care of her, even giving her the Juesha Sect's token. She couldn't rely on the Juesha Sect for everything just because of that.
Under the instructions of General Shen Shi, six master craftsmen led other craftsmen to begin building muzzle-loading smoothbore iron cannons according to the specifications and requirements on the blueprints.
To maintain secrecy, no one except these six master craftsmen knew what they created.
In a secluded spot within the military camp, these people lived and ate, and no one was allowed to leave or have contact with the outside world.
Seven days later.
Shen Danru wanted to go out to check on the shop's decor.
Just then, a soldier rushed over, panting and looking anxious: "Miss, something terrible has happened! The old general has fainted."
Shen Danru was anxious and hurriedly asked, "Where is Grandfather? Is he in the military camp?"
"It is in the military camp. General Du invites you to come over."
Shen Danru didn't even bother to change her clothes. She ordered her servants to bring a horse and galloped away.
Qingtan, Yuanbiao, and Yuanying, worried about Shen Danru's safety, also rode closely behind to catch up.
Before they even reached the entrance to the military camp, someone stopped them: "This is a military camp. Unauthorized personnel, please leave immediately."
Shen Danru looked up and recognized the person as the one she had saved at the manor.
Qingtan recognized him as well.
The other party also recognized Shen Danru and Qingtan.
"Is it you?"
Qingtan's face lit up with surprise: "It's you?"
Shen Danru frowned, puzzled as to what this person was doing here so suspiciously.
“Young ladies, I have not yet repaid your kindness in saving my life, and I will certainly do so in the future. However, this place is a military camp, so please leave as soon as possible.”
Shen Danru said unhappily, "This is a military camp, what are you doing here? Please leave, or you will be treated as a spy."
Shen Yutang was taken aback, realizing that the girl had misunderstood.
He explained, "I am not a spy, but a soldier who has just returned from an errand."
Thinking of her grandfather's fainting, Shen Danru felt anxious and unwilling to explain to unimportant people. She wanted to ride into the military camp.
Shen Yutang panicked when he saw Shen Danru about to enter the military camp.
Military regulations are strict, and this woman once saved his life; he cannot stand by and watch her be punished by military law for not understanding them.
He hurriedly stopped Shen Danru.
"Young lady, this place is off-limits."
Shen Danru was getting impatient and instructed Qingtan, Yuanbiao, and Yuanying: "Stop him, he's so annoying."
The three men stepped forward and started fighting with Shen Yutang.
As Shen Danru reached the door, two elite soldiers asked, "Are you Miss Shen, the old general's granddaughter?"
"Exactly."
"Please come with me, young lady."
Shen Danru dismounted, and one of the elite soldiers took the reins while the other led her to the tent where General Shen was staying.
By the time Shen Yutang managed to escape, Shen Danru had already entered.
He secretly worried: Oh no.
He hurriedly asked the guards, "Why did you let her in? Don't you know that women are not allowed to enter the military camp?"
The guard was also unaware of the situation: "Reporting to the centurion, those two are General Du's confidants. General Du personally instructed them to take Miss Shen inside."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yutang immediately stepped into the military camp.
He decided to find Du Huan and question him about why he broke military regulations. Didn't he know that military law cannot be violated?
He will kill this girl.
At the same time, Shen Danru hurried to her grandfather's tent.
She saw her grandfather lying in bed, surrounded by several people, including a military doctor.
One of the elderly men, upon seeing her face, immediately collapsed to the ground in terror.
This made Shen Danru take a few more glances at him. She had seen this person before in the military camp. He was the Uncle Shui she had met when she came to the military camp last time. Her grandfather called him Xiang Shui.
She inquired with her grandfather and learned that this man was a servant of the Duke's mansion, and had grown up with her grandfather since childhood.
Another person was named Xiang Quan, who was Xiang Shui's older brother. The two of them spent their childhood with their grandfather.
Later, for reasons unknown, Xiang Quan disappeared.
Shen Shi sent people to search for him, but they were never able to find him.
Shen Danru saw surprise in his eyes, and even more so, fear.
Is Uncle Shui afraid of her?
She had never met Shui Bo before, so why was he afraid of her?
At their first meeting, she disguised her appearance, and Uncle Shui did not see her true face, so he did not react at all.
This was their second meeting. She hadn't disguised herself; seeing Shui Bo like this, she must be afraid of her appearance.
Could it be related to my grandmother?
One of the generals helped Shui Bo up, and Shui Bo quickly explained, "Thank you, I was just too worried about my old general."
Seeing Shen Danru staring at him, he concealed the fear in his eyes and said with reddened eyes, "Miss, please, you must save the old general."
That expression clearly shows that he is very concerned about General Shen's safety.
How did you know I was your young lady?
He replied somewhat guiltily, "General Du said that Miss could cure the old general's illness, so he sent someone to fetch you. When I saw you come in, I guessed that you were Miss."
Although this explanation was somewhat far-fetched, it was reasonable, and Shen Danru did not find any flaws.
She stepped forward to take her grandfather's pulse and discovered that he had been poisoned again.
A surge of anger welled up inside her.
Who exactly is it?
Who exactly is hurting Grandfather?
However, she quickly suppressed her anger.
"Grandfather is fine; he's just overworked."
Shen Danru carefully observed the expressions of the people in the room.
Everyone looked worried, but Shui Bo seemed relieved after hearing Shen Danru's words.
His previously deathly pale face immediately regained its color.
The military doctor asked, "Miss Shen, are you sure General Shen fainted because of overwork? Or could you have misread it?"
"Please rest assured, military doctor. No one knows my grandfather's health better than me, and no one is more worried about him than me. I know everything."
After entering the military camp, Shen Yutang learned that Shen Danru had already gone to General Shen's tent, where General Du was also located.
He rushed toward General Shen's tent, but was stopped by the guards at the gate.
"Chief, the old general is resting and will not see anyone for the time being."
