In a chaotic world, border soldiers begin their journey by enlisting in the army and getting married

The point has been made very clearly.

Nan Tu Rou wasn't stupid; she naturally understood the implications of this matter.

"Is someone trying to use this as a pretext to frame my father at the right time?"

"Can……"

Nan Tu Rou hesitated, unsure of what to do.

She dared not think too deeply about it, for she dared not consider the consequences.

Seeing Nan Tu Rou hesitate, Chen Shan smiled and said, "General, do you think you'd encounter someone like me if you ever met a fate like the Xiao family army?"

Chen Shan's half-joking remark caused Nan Tu Rou to blush slightly.

He immediately glared at her: "What do you mean? Do you mean, do you think you're the only good man in the whole world?"

Upon hearing these words, Nan Tu Rou felt her heart beating much faster than usual!

Is this guy deliberately flirting with me? Or is he actually interested in me?

But he already has four women.

Nan Tu Rou was thinking about her own family matters, but Chen Shan's words made her feel uneasy.

For so many years, she disguised herself as a man to enter the army, all for the sake of her father and the royal family.

But she is, after all, a woman.

She had met all sorts of men, but none of them caught her eye.

Chen Shan came from humble beginnings, yet he often amazed people and possessed outstanding abilities.

"Oh dear, what am I thinking?" Nan Tu Rou quickly shook her head, dispelling these strange thoughts.

Chen Shan, however, looked at Nan Tu Rou with suspicion.

"General, you also think I'm a good man? Tsk, could it be that the General wants to marry down?"

Chen Shan raised an eyebrow, noticing that Nan Tu Rou's expression was a bit off, and immediately started teasing her.

This kind of expression of hers is rare to see, and it might even increase her favorability.

"What do you mean by 'marrying down'? This general will never marry down!"

Upon hearing the suggestion of marrying down, Nan Tu Rou immediately refuted it without even thinking.

But as soon as he said those words, he realized something was wrong.

Just as he was about to explain, Chen Shan spoke again.

"The general is, after all, the daughter of a prince, a princess. But once I climb up the social ladder, we can be a good match, right?"

As the teasing words rang out, Nan Tu Rou could no longer suppress the wild beating of her heart.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not here to spout nonsense!"

"I am a general of the Third Army Corps, your superior, and also a princess. How could I possibly take a liking to someone like you, a nobody with four wives!"

Nan Tu Rou spoke very quickly, appearing somewhat flustered, but it gave the impression that she was making excuses.

Chen Shan couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like this.

Goodness, this feels a bit like those brainless TV dramas from my past life?

A domineering CEO falls in love with a divorced woman who had an abortion and was remarried.

That's a bit abstract.

"Ahem, I never said you were interested in me."

"General, let's get down to business."

Chen Shan knew he had to be careful not to overdo it, otherwise the effect wouldn't be as good.

Therefore, she quickly changed the subject, and Nan Tu Rou's expression improved somewhat.

"General, you wouldn't want to see the Xia Kingdom's military power controlled by civil officials, would you? If you believe that emperor is a good emperor, then you can't just sit idly by."

"This matter concerning Marquis Wuding is very likely to involve King Nantu, so it's best to make preparations as soon as possible."

Hearing Chen Shan's words, Nan Tu Rou's restless heart gradually calmed down.

"What can we do then?"

"I have no idea who's behind this."

Nan Tu Rou looked troubled.

"Does the King of Southern Slaughter have anyone he doesn't get along with?"

When Chen Shan asked, Nan Tu Rou looked thoughtful and said, "No, Father never attends court or participates in government affairs."

"Even the Kong family wouldn't dare."

The Southern King is currently the most powerful figure in the military, but he never touches upon court affairs or attends court sessions, making it extremely unlikely that he will make enemies.

However, Chen Shan believes that these are actually drawbacks.

"Not attending court doesn't mean no one cares about you."

"After all, it's real military power; if I were a civil official, I wouldn't let it go either."

Chen Shan spoke boldly, but he also spoke the truth.

This put Nan Tu Rou in a difficult position.

"What should we do then?"

Nan Tu Rou asked.

Chen Shan responded decisively: "What can we do? Hand them over. Since Marquis Wuding is willing to be used as a pawn, regardless of what kind of deal or grudge they have, it's inappropriate for his children to continue living."

"Those who provide shelter also need to be punished; only in this way can we prevent others from being implicated."

"However, since those are the prince's disciples, even if we deal with them, there will be even bigger trouble in the future."

After Chen Shan finished speaking, Nan Tu Rou already had her answer in her heart.

"I can't make that decision, but I can remind my father that if what you say is true, I will owe you a favor."

After Nan Tu Rou finished speaking, she stopped talking to Chen Shan and turned to leave.

After all, the Feng Battalion had already escorted Marquis Wuding to the capital, so she had to send someone to deliver a letter back to inform her father.

[Nan Tu Rou's favorability +10!]

[Nan Tu Rou's favorability rating: 30 (Looking at her differently)]

"Tsk, she really has improved. Sigh, no matter how strong a woman is, she can't stop a man who knows how to talk."

"Men's words are always deceiving."

"Modern people are right."

Chen Shan sighed and continued his leisurely fishing time.

Two months have passed since I was stationed in Wushan Prefecture.

During the two months, Chen Shan occasionally relaxed, but spent the rest of his time training his students.

The deficit camp has now expanded to three thousand men.

Although there weren't as many as the Fengzi Battalion, these three thousand people were still carefully selected.

Furthermore, Chen Shan specifically allocated 800 out of the 3,000 people for special forces training.

The rest were led by Xiao Zhen, and were also trained as elites.

They were all veterans of battle, and with Xiao Zhen teaching them some boxing and martial arts, their overall combat strength was improved.

To be precise, the deficit battalion can now be considered an elite force!

At that time, the deficit camp.

"Chen Shan, the Fengzi Battalion has returned. The general has summoned them."

When Xiao Zhen came over, Chen Shan went with him to the Marquis's residence.

For two months, they were stationed in Wushan Prefecture, but they did not hear a single word about a rebellion.

They had no idea what would happen next.

Of course, what Chen Shan was really concerned about was the military industry.

After all, only real military achievements can put people at ease.

"Let's go. We don't know what to do next. If we stay here, we'll be at a disadvantage."

Xiao Zhen understood Chen Shan's meaning.

Only by fighting can he have a chance to be promoted.

If we were to stay and guard the place, who knows when we would be able to climb up.

There's no way to exonerate Xiao Jiajun.

"Our Deficit Camp has been completely transformed. Even if the imperial court has such intentions, the Southern Slaughter King is not necessarily going to be overlooked."

"Don't worry."

The two chatted idly and soon arrived at the Marquis's residence.

The generals of both battalions gathered together, and Nan Tu Rou, holding the imperial order, scanned the crowd with his eyes.
