Chapter 105: Lifesaver
Confused and drifting.
Wen Wan vaguely felt that she had answered this question before.
She had a pair of misty watery eyes and raised her hand to pat Shen Yu's cheek.
“I like it!”
She answered without hesitation.
"I love Chai the most. I want to give birth to monkeys for him! A bunch of monkeys!"
Give birth to a monkey?
Shen Yu frowned and sighed helplessly, “It seems that he is really drunk.”
A general in mighty armor, holding a delicate beauty, shuttled between the corridors, with flickering candlelight and their intertwined figures full of tenderness.
Everyone looked at the two people's backs as they walked away, and couldn't help but sigh.
Prefect Lin took a sip of wine and his expression relaxed a little.
"It's said that General Shen is a playboy, with countless beautiful concubines in his harem. It turns out that using beauties to entertain him is the right move."
After a pause, he sighed again:
"General Shen's sudden visit really gave me a fright. A few days ago, one of his lieutenants came to talk to me about the illegal sale of iron ore. He was trying to gauge my opinion, and it scared me so much that I couldn't sleep well for a few days."
The staff beside him nodded in agreement, "Your Excellency is wise. You pretended to be ignorant and calmed the captain down."
But Governor Lin shook his head and said, "No. The captain doesn't believe me at all."
The staff member was startled, and then he was horrified, "Yes, if he believed it, General Shen would not have come to Fengcheng!"
The more he talked, the more irritated he became. Governor Lin waved his hand and asked the stringed musicians to disperse.
Lin Taishou's face was filled with worry. "In your opinion, what should we do now?"
The staff thought for a long time, gritted their teeth and said, "The only solution now is to sacrifice the rook to save the king."
Lin Taishou glared, "You mean..."
The staff member replied with difficulty, "As long as Madam Yun keeps her mouth shut, no one will be able to implicate you, sir. We can find someone from the government office to take the blame later, and this matter will be covered up."

The night is deep and seemingly quiet, but it always hides murderous intentions.
In the side room, Chen Yu took off Wen Wan's shoes and socks, and tucked in the corners of the quilt for her.
The window was open and two dark figures in tight clothes rushed in.
The two men knelt on one knee to greet Shen Yu, "General, Governor Lin is indeed preparing to take action against Madam Yun."
Shen Yu was not surprised. "Well, they are fighting each other, so we can fish in troubled waters."
After a pause, he instructed the man on his left, "Shanshui, you stay and protect her. Huomiao, come with me to close the net."
Shanshui and Huomao, like Kaneki, are his deputy generals, but Kaneki has always been his close follower, while Shanshui and Huomao have been leading troops in the army for many years.
"yes."
Huo Miao agreed, but Shanshui was a little hesitant.
"General, you and Madam Yun have been negotiating for many days, buying us time to set up control. I also led the soldiers on the journey all night, and only arrived in Fengcheng yesterday..."
Shanshui's gaze fell on Wen Wan on the bed again, and there seemed to be dissatisfaction in his eyes.
He cupped his hands and said, "I didn't come to the border town to protect a woman!"
They had followed the general through thick and thin, and were as close as brothers to him, so they didn't hide anything and asked directly.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yu frowned and sneered, "Do you think this general is using public power for personal gain?"
Shanshui lowered his head and said, "I dare not."
"Heh," Shen Yu didn't get angry, but said coldly, "Haven't you been asking me who the female Zhuge who offered advice in the mountain temple was?"
Shanshui was stunned, and Huomiao was also shocked.
Shen Yu chuckled, "This time in the Forgotten Valley rescue, she also saved me from danger."
Shanshui's throat churned, unable to conceal his excitement, "Is she the female Zhuge that the military advisor mentioned?"
Shen Yu: “Yeah.”
Shanshui's eyes lit up instantly, and he excitedly grabbed Huo Miao's arm, "Then she is also our savior!"
Although Huo Miao was excited, he managed to remain calm.
The rescue of the Forgotten Valley was originally planned to be divided into two groups.
According to the plan, the military advisor led the team to the Forgotten Valley for direct rescue, and they raided Mobei to contain the main force of Mobei.
Because of the emergence of a female Zhuge Liang, the military advisor felt confident in handing over the team to Gao Ling.
The military advisor led a large force of border town defenders to Mobei, but they encountered an ambush on the way. Fortunately, the military advisor was there and saw through Mobei's trick, so they were able to escape.
If they hadn't had a military advisor in this battle, they would probably have suffered heavy casualties.
It was Wen Wan's appearance that freed up the military advisor to lead them, which was also a disguised way of saving the soldiers defending the border town.
Now, although they have never seen Wen Wan, everyone knows that there is such a female Zhuge Liang who is their benefactor.
"If it is to protect our benefactor, I will do my best to stay willingly." Shanshui said with a smile.
Huo Miao curled his lips and said, "You are willing to do it, but I still have to do hard labor with the general."
Shanshui smiled innocently, "Don't say such nonsense, that's the opportunity the general is giving you to make great achievements."
Huo Miao sneered, "Well, you have a mouth on your face, so whatever you say is right."
"Okay, Shanshui, come here. I have something to tell you."
Shen Yu interrupted their verbal argument and called Shanshui over to give him a few words of advice.
After Shanshui heard this, his expression was very interesting. "General, she is the benefactor of our border town garrison, and you are not even willing to give her an identity. This, this is inappropriate..."
Shen Yu slapped Shanshui on the forehead, "Does this general need you to teach him how to do things?"
Is that because he doesn't want to give it to her? It's obviously because she doesn't want it.
Shanshui was so upset that he didn't dare to say anything more.
Shen Yu glared at him warningly, then left with Hu Miao.

Before daybreak, there was chaos in the mansion of Prefect Lin.
At first, the fire started from the warehouse, and everyone in the mansion rushed to put out the fire. However, before the fire was out, a group of dusty yamen runners broke into the mansion again.
They rushed directly to the front of the prefect Lin, and no one knew what they said to him. The prefect Lin's face changed drastically. Regardless of the late night, he asked the housekeeper to pack up his belongings and said he wanted to go back to his hometown.
When Prefect Lin panicked, everyone else in the mansion also panicked.
As the saying goes, there is no wall that is impenetrable. The experienced old people in the mansion knew about the private dealings of Prefect Lin.
When they saw that Governor Lin was planning to run away, they could no longer sit still and began to steal valuables from the mansion in an attempt to take advantage of the situation.
For a time, there was chaos in the residence of Prefect Lin.
In the wing room.
Wen Wan was sleeping soundly. When she heard the loud noise outside, she sat up yawning.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a young man with his back to the door, his arms folded across his chest, holding a long sword.
Outside the door, some ignorant servants tried to break in and steal the property in the house, but the young man kicked them ten meters away.
"This leg strength is amazing."
Wen Wan swallowed and expressed shock.
The young man heard the voice, turned around and smiled brightly.
"Miss Xiaowan, are you awake?"
Wen Wan was stunned. He knew her?
"You are..." Wen Wan asked suspiciously.
The young man's smile was a little too enthusiastic and looked a little scary.
