There has been a heavy snowstorm in the border areas recently. After one night, the outside was covered with snow and everything was completely white.

The Lao troops in Anqing hunkered down for a long time without leaving the city. Due to the bad weather, it was difficult for the Jin army to go out to fight, so they could only surround Anqing and cut off their food and grass transportation.

Lin Sishen was recently ordered to patrol around Anqing City to see if any grain and grass for the Lao army had been secretly transported to Anqing City. He patrolled for two hours every day in the wind and snow, which was considered to be the hardest job in the military camp.

The cold armor on his body was not only heavy but not warm, and he couldn't take it off even if he was beaten to death. Lin Sishen, dressed in wind and snow, led the Yulin Guards on horseback after completing a half-day inspection and rushed back from outside.

A thick layer of frost and snow had fallen on her armor, which looked like a moving snowman from a distance.

When he was approaching the military camp, Lin Sishen rubbed his frozen hands, put down the reins, and looked up to see someone hanging a lantern on the gate of the military camp.

The man hanging the lantern heard the noise, looked back, and called out enthusiastically: "The young general is back?"

"Yeah." Lin Sishen nodded, looking a little lost in thought at the row of red lanterns that had just been hung in front of the military camp.

The soldier climbed down from the wooden ladder, breathed hot air on his hands and rubbed them, then looked back at the lanterns and explained: "It's almost the New Year. I heard the general's order to hang a few lanterns to make it look more festive."

Lin Sishen squinted at the red lantern that stood out in the vast whiteness, and whispered softly: "It's New Year."

Calculating carefully, Lin Sishen has been away from the capital for a year and a half, and this will be her second New Year spent in a border military camp. During the last New Year, she suffered a knife wound and has been recuperating in the camp.

Mo Zhu brought her a pot of cooked mutton soup and celebrated the New Year in a scrupulous manner.

In the past, when she was in the General's Mansion, every New Year was Lin Sishen's happiest day. Her grandmother would wrap her a big red envelope, and her mother would personally cook a table of meals that were not that delicious, but full of heart.

.

The eldest brother and father would also temporarily put aside their usual harshness and indifference, and accompany Lin Sishen to set off firecrackers and fireworks, watching her dance around the yard.

I don’t know if the family will be as lively as before without her, and I don’t know what Shen Qinghan will do and say on the occasion of the New Year. What will she do in the palace now? Is it in her free time?

Shi still held books in his hands all day long, with nothing else in his eyes.

Now that I think about it, after they got married, they never even spent a New Year together.

Thinking of Shen Qinghan, Lin Sishen couldn't help but feel worried. In the past few months, she had sent several letters home to the capital, but she had not received even a reply from Shen Qinghan.

Although she was far away in the frontier, she had regular letters from Li Luo every month, and she was also aware of the turmoil in the capital.

The prince was deposed for poisoning the emperor and was thrown into prison. The second prince had a single family in the court. Shen Qinghan was left in the palace by the emperor for more than half a year. He never returned to the general's mansion once, so naturally he

I didn't receive the letter home from her.

Lin Sishen had already guessed that Shen Qingwan and the foreigners conspired to overthrow the prince, but to her surprise, the second prince also played an indispensable role in it.

In order to deal with the prince, Shen Qinghan and the second prince tacitly joined forces, and it was extremely dangerous to seek skin from a tiger.

The second prince was very scheming, and the old emperor was also very jealous. Shen Qinghan was left in the palace like this for more than half a year, and Lin Sishen had to worry about her.

It was extremely dangerous for her to charge and fight for her life on the border. However, Shen Qinghan, who was in the whirlpool of power, seemed to be at ease, but in fact, the situation was a hundred times more dangerous than hers. If something unexpected happened, Shen Qinghan would be involved, and her body would be destroyed. live.

Just as Lin Sishen was stunned, an adjutant on the side suddenly rode up to Lin Sishen and asked with earnest eyes: "Little general, tomorrow is the New Year, we should be able to rest for a day."

Lin Sishen came back to his senses, looked at the exhausted soldiers behind him, smiled loudly and comforted him: "I have worked hard on you these days. I will ask General Wen for orders today, and let you stay in the military camp to rest tomorrow."

The adjutant brushed off the snow on his shoulders, looked at Lin Sishen's pale and thin face, and asked softly: "The young general is much more tired than his subordinates. It's time to rest for a few days."

Lin Sishen smiled and lowered his head in silence.

The adjutant lowered his voice and complained on behalf of Lin Sishen: "Everyone knows that General Wen doesn't like the junior general. The inspection on this snowy day should have been done in rotation, and it would have been better for the adjutant to lead it, but he chose to let you, the junior general, lead it personally. This inspection lasted for several months. The most difficult and tiring job in the military camp, it is really too much to leave all the most difficult and tiring tasks in the military camp to the junior general."

Everyone saw Wen Xingren's attitude towards Lin Sishen. Lin Sishen had made countless contributions in the past year and a half. Wen Xingren not only did not reward Lin Sishen, but also found fault with Lin Sishen everywhere. As long as he found fault, he would deal with Lin Sishen mercilessly. .

Lin Sishen listened to the adjutant's words, but her expression did not change at all. She glanced at the man lightly and reminded in a deep voice: "I think the general must have his own plans. As a subordinate, you must not make rash comments." The general’s decision.”

The adjutant's expression changed, he coughed lightly and said respectfully: "Yes."

Naturally, Lin Sishen was very aware of the deliberate exclusion of Wen Xingren and other military attachés, but she was now Wen Xingren's subordinate, and the hierarchy in the army was strict. Even if Wen Xingren repeatedly made things difficult for her, she could not show her dissatisfaction openly.

After riding into the military camp, Lin Sishen returned to his tent. As soon as he walked in, he couldn't wait to let Mo Zhu take the sheepskin bag, leaned by the stove and poured a sip of strong wine into his mouth.

In this cold winter, only strong liquor poured down the throat can bring a touch of warmth to the cold body.

After Lin Sishen drank a large sip of strong wine, she took a deep breath and lowered her head. The snow on her armor was burned by the fire and turned into water droplets dripping down her body.

Mo Zhu looked at it with a rather complicated expression. Lin Sishen seemed to be very dependent on strong liquor these days, relying on it to keep warm and fall asleep every day. But she didn't know how to comfort Lin Sishen, so she could only secretly drink wine. Add some melted snow to the bag.

The water droplets on her hair turned into mist and swirled around Lin Sishen's head. She lowered her head and couldn't see her expression clearly. After a long time, she opened her lips and asked softly: "Mo Zhu, do you want to go back to the capital?"

Mo Zhu squatted down and added a few pieces of charcoal to the stove. She pursed her lips and looked at Lin Sishen. Finally, she couldn't help but raise her hand to cover the back of Lin Sishen's hand. The coldness of the tentacles made her tremble. She softly He asked in a loud voice: "Master, are you homesick?"

Lin Sishen didn't reply, just forced a smile, raised her hand and poured another gulp of strong wine into her mouth. The spicy wine made her cough a few times, and Mo Zhu hurriedly raised his hand to caress her. 's shoulders.

The war in Anqing City has always been stalemate. If the city cannot be captured for one day, Lin Sishen cannot leave here for one day. In the blink of an eye, a year and a half has passed. Shen Qinghan once said that the war would be ended within two years, but now Lin Sishen also had to doubt whether Shen Qinghan's assertion was true or false.

Mo Zhu looked at the bored Lin Sishen in a daze. After a while, she suddenly remembered that there was something important that she had not handed over to Lin Sishen, so she hurriedly took out a thumb-sized bamboo tube from her sleeve and handed it to Lin Sishen: "Master , I received this today.”

Lin Sishen took the bamboo tube and opened it, using the firelight to see clearly the small characters on the secret letter. After a while, she suddenly took a deep breath and a trace of surprise appeared in her eyes.

After throwing the paper into the fire, Lin Sishen's dark eyes shone in front of the fire. She raised the corners of her lips and whispered softly: "He is coming."

Mo Zhu was a little puzzled, so she asked: "Who is the young master talking about?"

Lin Sishen smiled lightly: "Maybe he is the one who ends this war."

Lin Sishen had guessed that the person Shen Qingwan supported was the fourth prince Shen Xinxun who was exiled to Lingnan. After the prince was overthrown, the old emperor would never watch the second prince dominate the court alone. He would definitely support him. Find someone who can fight against the second prince, and that person is Shen Xinxun.

Li Luo's secret letter to her revealed that the old emperor, seeing the stalemate in the border war, intended to ask the fourth prince stationed in Lingnan to send troops for reinforcements.

If the old emperor really intends to ask the fourth prince to send troops for reinforcements, as long as the fourth prince lives up to his expectations and attacks the city of Anqing, then he will have accomplished a great feat and be recalled to the capital to leave the bitter cold land of Lingnan, just around the corner.

It seemed that Lin Sishen was right. Everything Shen Qinghan did in the capital was to pave the way for the fourth prince.

She even began to suspect that Shen Qinghan secretly plotted the Liao army's attack on Anqing City.

Under Wen Xingren's interrogation, it was found that so many Lao army secrets were hidden in Anqing City for no reason. In addition to the deployment of the Lao army for many years, I am afraid that it is also inseparable from Wen Xingren's deliberate omissions.

If Wen Xingren colluded with the Liao army, the poisonous arrow that secretly almost took his life seemed to have become his best talisman.

Lin Sishen sat quietly by the stove, her eyes flashing dimly. If all of this was Shen Qinghan's plot, then her terrifying boldness was beyond Lin Sishen's imagination.

In order to support the fourth prince to ascend to power, she designed the Lao army to attack Anqing City, abandoning the people in the city, and made countless soldiers sacrifice their lives and shed blood in order to regain Anqing City.

How could she be sure that after the reinforcements from the Fourth Prince, Anqing City would be taken back? How could she guess the old emperor's thoughts?

Then Lin Sishen, was it possible that Shen Qinghan had predicted everything she was doing in the border area?

Lin Sishen's face seemed to be a lot paler. Mo Zhu, who had been silently observing her face, couldn't help but ask: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Sishen waved his hand, lowered his eyes and said softly: "I'm fine."

Shen Qingwan, this mysterious and unpredictable woman, when the veils covering her body were lifted layer by layer, Lin Sishen's curiosity about her did not diminish at all, and now it was even more bitter.

Is it really worth all the things she has done for a fourth prince?

In her heart, who is more important, the fourth prince, or Lin Sishen?
