Chapter 321 The truth of the matter
"Father, this big black bear was given to Shen Pingzhi by someone else. Shen Pingzhi also has a large zoo here."
"There are a lot of rare animals kept in it, but the location is a bit remote, near the back mountain, so we haven't found them yet."
"After Shen Pingzhi died, we took over this place, and the servants who usually tamed these animals no longer had the heart to care for them."
"Several of them have already escaped through the mountains behind the villa, and the rest are not diligent in taking care of the animals."
"The big black bear must have been extremely hungry. For some reason, it tore through the iron netting and ran out, and happened to run into Mu'er by accident."
"That's why the thrilling incident just now happened. I've asked someone to take over the place, and this kind of thing will never happen again."
Compared to the apparent calmness of the Marquis of Zhenbei, Shen Yiyang was much more panicked and at a loss.
He was afraid not only because Li Muyang was now the crown prince, but also because if something happened here, their Zhenbei Marquis Mansion would not be able to explain itself.
He was also afraid because of Li Muyang, who was now his sister Shen Tianjiao's child.
Compared to the previous sister who was lifeless, slow-paced and gloomy, Shen Yiyang still likes the current bright and elegant sister.
He knew how important Li Muyang and Li Muyan were in his sister's heart. As a brother and uncle, it was his responsibility and obligation to protect them and ensure they lived well.
"He really knows how to enjoy life. Not only did he make this farm so exquisite, he also built this zoo, modeled after the palace's zoo, modeled after the zoo for rare animals."
"He doesn't just want power to satisfy his selfish desires. He's driven by insatiable desires and isn't satisfied with just the power he's gained."
"I'm afraid he has a bigger plan, and wants to follow others and rebel to become emperor."
Marquis Zhenbei sighed, feeling extremely relieved at this moment. Fortunately, Shen Pingzhi was dead, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble he would cause in the future.
By then, not only would he deserve to die, but he would also have to implicate the Shen family, the Zhenbei Marquisate, and even Shen Tianjiao.
"Go and dispose of everything in that garden, then seal it off and use it for something else."
The Marquis of Zhenbei didn't want to keep those ferocious beasts anymore. If they came out and hurt people again, it would be troublesome.
"Father, you should keep it. Just assign some new people to look after it."
"The palace's zoo has been abandoned for years. There are many animals the children have never seen before. They will stay here for a few more days, which will give them some fun."
As a mother, Shen Tianjiao thought more about the feelings of her children. After all, Fu Sheng Ruo Meng was not in the palace, and the two children had no mother, ancestors, and Chunchao to accompany them.
Although there are grandparents and uncles, they are men after all, and their minds are not delicate enough. They also have their own things to do and cannot accompany the children all the time.
It is inevitable that two children will have boring times. At such times, having these animals accompany them can add some fun to them.
Since Shen Tianjiao said so, Marquis Zhenbei would naturally not disagree.
"Then reassign people to manage it. Cages, iron fences, and other things must be reinforced. We must not be careless."
"Also, those who escaped must be caught back, otherwise I'm afraid that what we're doing here will be exposed by them."
"We'll also send some people to search the nearby mountains and forests. We'll also strengthen patrols and surveillance. Things like this, running away without permission, will never happen again."
What the Marquis of Zhenbei is afraid of now is that those who escaped will reveal the situation in Fu Sheng Ru Meng to the outside world. If people outside know the true situation in Fu Sheng Ru Meng, there will be big trouble.
"Don't worry, Dad. I've already sent people to do these things."
Shen Yiyang didn't spend those years in the Northern Frontier in vain. As the commander-in-chief of an army, he had experienced many things like this. How could he not take precautions in advance?
"Okay." Marquis Zhenbei nodded approvingly at Shen Yiyang. He has always been very satisfied with this future heir.
"Jiaojiao, since your elder brother is here, let's discuss going to Nanchu."
Speed is of the essence in war, and delay is the key to success. This has always been the style of the Zhenbei Marquis. Once a decision is made, it must be carried out immediately.
"Going to Nanchu?" Shen Yiyang, who had just come in and had no idea what was going on, was confused.
"Yes, Boss, I'm sorry to trouble you to go to Nanchu this time. Now we have found out that Li Zhaohui is indeed plotting something with Nanchu because of Shen Pingzhi."
"The battle between us and Li Zhaohui is about to begin, and we must not let it be ruined by this conspiracy."
"Time is running out now. You don't have much time left to go to Nanchu and find out the truth."
Marquis Zhenbei looked at Shen Yiyang. He was not worried that Shen Yiyang did not want to go to Nanchu. He knew his son well. No matter what happened, Shen Yiyang always led the way and took on the responsibility, so he rushed forward without hesitation.
What he is worried about now is Shen Yiyang's safety. Although Shen Yiyang has grown up and can stand on his own, in the eyes of Zhenbei Hou, he is still a child.
It is something that parents always worry about when their children do dangerous things.
"When do we leave?" Shen Yiyang naturally had the responsibility to do this kind of thing and he had to go.
After returning from the Northern Frontier, Shen Yiyang had been recuperating in the hot spring villa. Later, he came to this dreamlike place. Apart from doing some fixed things every day, he was bored to death.
Shen Yiyang was afraid that if he continued to stay like this, he would grow hair all over his body.
"We'll set off tonight. Father has already selected the people who will be going with us. You just need to pack up and leave immediately."
Time is tight and the task is heavy, and there is no time to delay. Zhenbei Hou stood up and patted Shen Yiyang on the shoulder.
"Brother, you must be careful when you go to Nanchu. The people of Nanchu are cunning and barbaric by nature."
"This mission is different from your previous battles leading troops to the battlefield. This time, you will not only have to expend your physical strength, but more importantly, your mental strength."
Shen Tianjiao looked at Shen Yiyang. She was already beginning to regret letting Shen Yiyang go to Nanchu.
After all, Shen Yiyang is not like Shen Tingzhi, who is full of tricks and always makes others suffer. It is considered good enough if he does not scheme against others to the point of leaving them with nothing.
"And remember, no matter what happens, protecting your own life is the most important thing. Whether or not you complete the mission is not important. Remember?"
Shen Tianjiao's last words made Shen Yiyang a little confused. Since he went to the battlefield until now, he has made many military orders to fight to the death and win.
But it was the first time I heard someone tell me that it doesn’t matter whether the mission is completed or not, the most important thing is to protect your own life.
Seeing Shen Yiyang's bewildered look, the Marquis of Zhenbei reached out and patted Shen Yiyang on the shoulder, saying, "Listen to your sister. Even if you can't complete the mission, it doesn't matter. You must return alive and safely."
The Marquis of Zhenbei is really old now. He can now say these words so easily, which he would never say before.
"Did you hear that?" Seeing Shen Yiyang didn't say anything, the two people in the room became anxious and yelled at him together.
"Oh, I heard it." Shen Yiyang shuddered after being yelled at, and quickly came back to his senses and replied.
"I heard it. Did you remember it?" Zhenbei Hou knew that in Shen Yiyang's heart, no matter what happened, he would try his best to do it.
What Shen Tianjiao said to him just now has overturned his previous concepts and cognition.
"Remember, no matter what happens, saving your life is the most important thing."
Shen Yiyang now understood the concerns of Shen Tianjiao and Zhenbei Hou.
"Dad, Jiaojiao, don't worry, I will definitely return safely."
"Okay, go get ready. Let's have a family reunion dinner together. Dumplings on the bus and noodles on the bus."
"Tell the kitchen to make dumplings today, and Dad will prepare noodles for you to eat when you return triumphantly."
When the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei was still alive, every time the Marquis of Zhenbei was away from home, no matter how busy she was, she would cook for him herself, make dumplings for him, cook them and serve them to him, and personally watch him finish them all.
When the Marquis of Zhenbei returns home next time, she will cook a bowl of noodles herself and serve it to him while he eats.
In the past in the Northern Frontier, wars could be fought at any time, so how could there be such treatment? But now at home, no matter what, the Marquis of Zhenbei would arrange it for his son.
This is the rule of their Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, and it will be preserved from generation to generation.
Shen Yiyang didn't have much to clean up, but Shen Tianjiao had a lot to explain.
Shen Tianjiao was like a nagging old mother at this moment, explaining everything again and again, big and small.
When the family sat down at the dinner table and were about to enjoy a peaceful meal, an uninvited guest arrived.
This uninvited guest was not an outsider, but Bai Yunchi.
Bai Yunchi came here specifically to ask to go with Shen Yiyang after hearing that he was going to Nanchu.
Ever since Shen Yiyang came back, Shen Tianjiao has let Bai Yunchi stay with him.
As one of Shen Yiyang's little fans, Shen Tianjiao has fulfilled Bai Yunchi's long-cherished wish.
"Empress, I want to go with the general." Bai Yunchi came and went straight to Shen Tianjiao.
The people who will be accompanying Shen Yiyang this time were all personally selected and arranged by the Marquis of Zhenbei.
Now, as Shen Yiyang's accompanying guard, Bai Yunchi naturally knew about it first, but he was not involved in this operation, which made him very confused and difficult to accept.
So, feeling aggrieved and unable to understand Bai Yunchi, he ran over to speak up for himself.
The three people at the dinner table looked up at the same time and exchanged glances. Shen Tianjiao said, "Chunchao, you stay and take care of the prince and princess while they eat."
The dining room was not a place to discuss things, so as soon as Shen Tianjiao finished speaking, Zhenbei Hou and Shen Yiyang stood up and left together.
Shen Tianjiao looked at the table full of dishes and couldn't help but sigh. There was really no time to even have a peaceful meal.
Arriving at the conference room, Marquis Zhenbei felt somewhat unhappy when he saw Bai Yunchi kneeling down as soon as he entered. This kid really knew how to pick the right time to cause trouble.
Couldn't he wait until they finished their meal before coming?
"Okay, get up. You're not usually so well-mannered, but now you're pretending to be so."
The Marquis of Zhenbei asked Bai Yunchi to get up, but Bai Yunchi acted as if he didn't hear him and didn't get up.
"Why, are you still throwing a tantrum? Didn't you hear me telling you to get up?"
Looking at Baiyunchi, Zhenbei Hou became angry. Why wasn't he allowed to go? Doesn't this little bastard have any idea?
If you are not allowed to go, then don't go. Just stay there quietly. But he looks so unconvinced and comes here to make trouble. I have spoiled him too much. I will teach him a lesson later and give him some relaxation.
"I'm talking to you, can't you hear me? Get up!" Seeing that Bai Yunchi still didn't move, Shen Yiyang spoke.
After Shen Yiyang said this, Bai Yunchi became obedient. Although he was still not convinced in his heart, he stood up obediently.
Seeing Bai Yunchi stand up, Zhenbei Hou asked unhappily, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm here to request permission to go to Nanchu with the general."
The more he thought about Bai Yunchi, the more aggrieved he felt. Why could everyone else go, but he was the only one who was left behind and couldn't go?
"Of course there's a reason why they don't allow you to go. A soldier's duty is to obey orders."
The Marquis of Zhenbei looked at the boy in front of him who deserved to be punished and couldn't help but complain in his heart, "What kind of father, what kind of son."
Bai Yunchi was standing in front of the Marquis of Zhenbei at this moment, looking indignant, just like Bai Qishan back then.
When Bai Qishan followed the Marquis of Zhenbei in the northern border, the Marquis of Zhenbei suffered a lot of humiliation with him. Now that Bai Qishan has finally been removed, who would have thought that his son would come again.
Marquis Zhenbei couldn't help but sigh, wondering what sin he had committed.
"Just because my father is Bai Qishan, I have no right to go with him."
Apart from this reason, Bai Yunchi could not think of any other reason why he could not go.
Faced with the straight ball thrown by Bai Yunchi, Marquis Zhenbei was too lazy to beat around the bush with him.
"You already know the reason, so why are you still making a fuss? That's right, it's because you are Bai Qishan's son that you can't go."
"Your father only had one son, you are the only son of your Bai family. If anything happens to you, how am I going to explain it to Bai Qishan?"
"Okay, now that we've said that, stop messing around here and go back and stay quiet."
"This matter is absolutely confidential. If you continue to make trouble and leak the news, I will definitely punish you by military law. I don't care whether you are his son Bai Qishan or not."
The commotion at Baiyunchi completely destroyed the Zhenbei Marquis's appetite, which he hadn't had to begin with.
