[Chapter 137 Chapter 137 Letter from the Second Son of the Shen Family]
Cheng Liyan paused.
He knew that his wife was probably immersed in space again, so he didn't dare to go up and disturb her.
He was afraid that if he wasn't careful he would scare his wife again.
He tiptoed up to Shen Yuyao, looked over her shoulder, and then took the served dishes to the outer room.
When Cheng Liyan returned to the kitchen, Shen Yuyao finally came back to her senses.
"When did you come back?" she said, looking at her husband.
"I just got home. What's the matter? Has anyone at home sent a letter?" Cheng Liyan asked.
Shen Yuyao did not reply immediately.
She hesitated for a moment, then took out an unsealed letter from the space and handed it to Cheng Liyan.
Cheng Liyan looked at his wife in surprise, not quite understanding what kind of content made her so embarrassed?
He reached out and took the letter.
The letter was also written by Shen Yuyao's second brother Shen Junshan, but it was a farewell letter.
In the letter, Shen Junshan told his sister that he would be going to war next month and would follow the army to attack a place called Xinda.
Obviously, that place was not unfamiliar to the brother and sister, and it was not the first time that Wushuang Country sent troops there.
Shen Junshan only said that in the past six months, the Xinda people had invaded the border many times, not only looting livestock and sheep, but also killing many people from the Wushuang Kingdom.
It would be a national disgrace if this hatred is not avenged!
Shen Junyuan told Shen Yuyao that this time he personally volunteered to go to the battlefield.
The Emperor has appointed him as General Chen's deputy general, and he will go to the battlefield with General Chen in fifteen days.
Seeing this, Cheng Liyan looked up and asked, "Is this your first time going out to fight, second brother?"
Shen Yuyao was stunned: "How do you know?"
Cheng Liyan smiled.
How could I not know?
As a person who grew up in a military camp and has experienced war since he can remember, I can naturally recognize the words and actions of this rookie at a glance.
Even though Shen Junshan tried hard to suppress his excitement in the letter and wanted to appear mature and prudent, his excitement was revealed everywhere between the lines.
This kind of excitement can only be felt by those who are on the battlefield for the first time and are striving hard to gain military merit.
True veterans have long lost this edge.
Cheng Liyan did not continue this topic with his wife. He rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry about what my second brother said. Let me think about it and I'll do it."
Shen Yuyao held her husband's hand.
"Don't make it difficult for yourself. Second brother also said not to force this matter. If it can't be done, it can't be done. Don't make trouble for yourself."
Shen Yuyao frowned.
There was apology in her expression for her second brother's request, but more of it was concern for her own man.
Cheng Liyan smiled again, pinched his wife's cheek soothingly, and said, "I know what's going on."
Shen Yuyao didn't know whether Cheng Liyan really knew the situation, but she was already starting to worry.
Shen Yuyao complained that her second brother was such a troublemaker and was always causing trouble every day.
Why didn't I realize before that he was a trouble-making person?
At the same time, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
After all, they are siblings who grew up together.
Shen Yuyao is closer to her second brother than to her eldest brother who is much older than her.
Knowing that he was going to the battlefield and that swords were merciless on the battlefield, Shen Yuyao wanted to arm her brother from head to heels and didn't want him to be in any danger.
But at the same time, she doesn't want her man to be in danger!
On one side is her brother, on the other side is her husband, Shen Yuyao's heart began to waver.
And Cheng Liyan was indeed in a bit of a dilemma this time.
What made him so embarrassed was naturally the request made by his second brother-in-law in the letter.
This matter has to start with the things Shen Yuyao sent home before her marriage.
The General Chen that Shen Junshan followed this time was the younger brother of Chen Peiyi, the Minister of War, who had a good relationship with his father, Prime Minister Shen, and was also a powerful general of Wushuang State.
Because the two families have a close relationship, General Chen has always taken good care of the younger generation, Shen Junshan, and is naturally more familiar with him.
The Chen family has not split up. As the two most promising people in this generation of the Chen family, Shangshu Chen and his younger brother General Chen have always had a close relationship.
They were so close that the aluminum lunch box he had snatched from Prime Minister Shen was snatched away by his own brother within two days.
What no one expected was that the lunch box was later given by General Chen as a reward to his most admired personal soldier, and it eventually saved that man's life!
General Chen's giving lunch boxes to his subordinates was actually a common act of motivation. He felt that the food in those boxes would not easily spill and was therefore very suitable for marching.
What he didn't expect was that the subordinate put the military order in a lunch box.
Later, he saved his life because the lunch box blocked the arrow that was heading straight for his back.
According to the subordinates, the lunch box was extremely useful during the march.
It is not easy to spill things, and it is also resistant to high temperatures and will not break. It can be placed directly on the fire to heat food, and is very suitable for storing dry food. It is much more durable than the pottery jars they carry with them.
But this is not the biggest use of aluminum lunch boxes.
Its most useful point is that it is waterproof, wear-resistant and strong.
It is very convenient to use it to store documents that are easily soaked by water or important official documents. You no longer have to worry about encountering heavy rain on the road or getting damaged when crossing a river.
Of course, you can also use it to hold various other precious small items.
As for the fact that it can block arrows, it is an unexpected surprise.
General Chen was also very surprised after hearing this report!
But he also knew that the lunch box was obtained by accident when the third son of the Shen family was studying abroad.
Although a few were brought back at that time, they were eventually handed over to relatives and friends and forcibly taken away.
He also knew that the third son of the Shen family was finally cornered by someone and was offered a sky-high price of one hundred taels of silver per child. As a result, the remaining two or three were snatched away in an instant.
Now it really is gone.
No matter how jealous General Chen was, he would not embarrass a younger generation of a family with a long-standing friendship, so even though this incident happened a little too early.
More than half a year had passed, and he hadn't mentioned Shen Junshan a single word.
He just sent someone to secretly go out and buy back the few lunch boxes that had leaked out of the Shen family at a high price.
Originally, this matter would have passed, but who would have thought that later on, the story of Shen Yuyao becoming an immortal was revealed!
General Chen firmly believed that the little girl from the Shen family had become an immortal.
At this time, no one in Wushuang State, from the emperor to the common people, had any doubts about this matter.
After all, many people witnessed the strange phenomenon from the sky.
So many tributes disappeared right under everyone's noses.
And those soldiers did regain their lives after taking the magic medicine.
But General Chen didn't believe that the fact that Shen Yuyao became an immortal was first discovered by that old Taoist priest from the Shen family.
After all, what girl would go to an unfamiliar uncle instead of her biological parents when she has problems?
General Chen firmly believed that this was just an excuse from Prime Minister Shen, and that their family must have had some connection with Shen Xiangu before.
This can be seen from the magical objects that the Shen family had obtained before.
Otherwise, how to explain the origins of those lunch boxes, rubber shoes, seafood and other items that the third son of his family could not explain no matter what?
