Chapter 319: Giving Birth to a Daughter
"because……"
Wen Wan smiled softly and told about the selection of war horses in the stable today.
"That spice recipe was something I left for the border town garrison. So I guess Doctor Li and his little medicine boy are from the border town garrison."
After hearing this, Shen Yu kissed Wen Wan on the side of her face and said, "Smart."
After a pause, he casually added, "You know, that article you wrote about postpartum care for war horses is now considered a secret recipe by military doctors."
Wen Wan: “…”
She twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "There's no need to be so exaggerated."
"That's not an exaggeration," Shen Yu smiled indulgently, "There are not many people in this world who can double the number of war horses in a military camp within a year."
Only with war horses can we build cavalry. The more cavalry we have, the stronger our combat power.
She had not yet realized the importance of war horses to the army, so she had no idea what this incident had changed.
Thinking of this, Shen Yu hugged her tighter.
"How lucky I am to have met you in this life."
Hearing this, Wen Wan smiled with her eyes curved, "Why are you all becoming more and more sweet-mouthed? Okay, let's not go off topic, it's almost dawn."
"Tell me, what did you discover that would be worth your risking your life to sneak into this mountain stronghold alone?"
Shen Yu then gathered his thoughts and talked about what happened outside the valley that day.
"They're just a bunch of rabble. Even with a large number of people, it wouldn't be difficult for me to escape. But I found that the horses these bandits use are not ordinary horses, so I pretended to be captured and sneaked in to find out what was going on."
As expected, as a great general, he could naturally discover the abnormalities that Wen Wan could find as well.
Chen Yu sneered, "I really came here at the right time. Otherwise, I would not have known that there was such a force in this no-man's land."
Wen Wan also frowned, "He Qing guards Fengcheng, and you guard the border town. The fact that the White Tiger Village has been able to grow and develop under your noses must mean there's something wrong with it."
"Yeah," Shen Yu responded, "I've been trying to find out some useful information these days."
"White Tiger Village has only grown in strength in the past two years. It's said that their leader was favored by a certain important figure. That important figure has connections and can get them money, weapons, and war horses."
Upon hearing this, Wen Wan was stunned.
"Big shot?" She smiled and raised her hand to pinch Shen Yu's cheek. "Whether it's Duanchao or Mobei, the number of people more important than you and Enen seems to be countable on one hand."
"right."
Shen Yu's brows were knitted tightly. "That's why this matter is so difficult. Perhaps... my father's death is also related to this mountain stronghold!"
His words reminded Wen Wan, and she quickly told him that Fuyun Temple and Baihu Village had a relationship.
As the two exchanged information, the truth of the matter gradually surfaced.
"By the way," Wen Wan asked softly, "Did you cause the Second Master's hidden illness?"
Shen Yu was amused when he heard it, "You can guess this?"
Wen Wan glanced at him and said, "I can't help it. Who told me that you are petty and narrow-minded? That second-in-command is also blind. He actually dared to have a crush on you. With your temper, you will definitely destroy him."
Shen Yu nodded in appreciation, "I'm just getting rid of this evil for the people. Besides... I have to remain a virgin for you, otherwise if you run away again, where will I find someone else?"
It's hard for a soldier to change his habits. Seeing that he started gossiping again, Wen Wan pinched his face hard.
She pushed him and said, "Alright, you're here to look for Master Li and the others, right? Go quickly and don't waste time."
Business was important, and Shen Yu knew the importance of the matter, so he let her go in disappointment.
Shen Yu opened the window and saw a dark shadow at the end of the corridor out of the corner of his eye.
The corners of his mouth curled up, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. The next moment, he turned around, pinched Wenwan's chin and kissed her.
Wen Wan's eyes widened, and before she could react, he had already backed away.
"When we return to the Imperial Capital, we will give Yan Sui a younger brother." Shen Yu said with a smile.
Wen Wan sneered and waved his hand away, "Does it have to be a brother? Can't a sister be too?"
"That's fine. It's all up to you."
After Shen Yu finished speaking, he turned over and jumped out of the window.
His figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Wen Wan stood by the window for a while until a cold wind blew and she shivered, then she slowly closed the window.
She didn't know that after she closed the window, the dark shadow at the end of the corridor walked out with his head lowered.
A little moonlight fell on the shadow's face, making his complexion look even paler.
Winn stood outside the window, his eyes fixed on the tightly closed window, his hands hanging by his sides already clenched into fists.
There was no focus in his dark eyes, like a body without a soul. In his mind, all that remained was her reluctant look towards the man's back.
In her world, it seemed that there was only that man.

Have a good night's sleep.
Wen Wan had just finished washing up when Wen En walked in with a lunch box.
He placed the food box on the table, opened it layer by layer, and took out the exquisite dishes inside.
He pushed Wen Wan to sit down at the table and said, "Sister, you didn't eat well yesterday, so I made some food for you today."
"You did it?" Wen Wan thought she had misheard.
Wen En responded and poured her a bowl of soup first, "Well, in the past few years, I have studied cooking, and now I can cook pretty well."
Wen Wan took a sip of the soup from the bowl, her eyes brightening. "How can this be considered good? The chefs in the big restaurants can't make as good food as you do."
"As long as you like it, sister." Wen En started to pick up food for her again.
Wen Wan felt a little embarrassed by being taken care of. She asked while eating, "Where did you get the ingredients?"
Wen En replied calmly, "Money talks. They're just bandits. As long as there's profit to be made, even if it's just a few ingredients, they'll make a killing."
"That's true." Wen Wan said, and in return, she picked up some dishes for Wen En.
Wen En had no appetite and only ate a few bites.
"Sister, I have learned a total of 32 dishes in the past few years. I will cook them for you one by one these few days. You can try them all, okay?" Wen En asked cautiously.
Wen Wan nodded repeatedly, "Of course, I couldn't ask for more."
Winn smiled with satisfaction.
Wen Wan ate while lowering her voice and said to him, "I saw Shen Yu last night."
She thought about it and decided that she should talk to Winn.
"This stronghold is quite powerful. Although we made some preparations before coming here, we are still worried about any accidents. Okay, we must be extra cautious from now on. If we really encounter any danger, you must protect yourself first."
"Oh." Wen En responded obediently, without even talking back. "I'll listen to my sister."
He was so well-behaved that Wen Wan felt a little uneasy.
She always felt that Enen today was a little different from usual, but she couldn't tell what was different.
Could it be a woman's intuition?
