One could only hope that the Fu family could swallow it.
…
The matter of Shen Xin being stripped of his military power was lively for a day in the Ding capital and on the second day, it was covered by new rumours. There were new things happening in Ming Qi every day and such a scene was not new. But on the second day, it was still Shen Xin's matter that was being discussed in the streets and alleys.
It was said that on the second day after the Formidable Great General Shen Xin's military tally was taken away, he handed a memorial to Emperor Wen Hui in front of all the civil and military officials, proposing to bring the remaining frontline troops and the scattered Shen family guards to retreat to the Xiao Chun City.
The once illustrious Great General was going to defend a small place at the borders. Others felt that it was inconceivable and Shen Xin himself felt even more aggrieved. To feel aggrieved but to take the initiative to submit a memorial, it was obvious that he was dissatisfied with Emperor Wen Hui's punishment and made the decision in a fit of pique.
The storyteller in the restaurant explained the matter clearly and logically, saying that Emperor Wen Hui's expression changed on the spot in the Throne Room and threw the memorial at Shen Xin's face. One did not think that Shen Xin was still stubborn and stubbornly requested to retreat to the Xiao Chun City. Would the Emperor tolerate one's pique? Even if one had great meritorious service, it would be useless. Did you not want to retreat to the small place at the borders? Good. Very good. Then you go and defend!
Thus the entire Ding capital knew that the Formidable Great General would be leaving the capital for the Xiao Chun City tomorrow.
Almost everyone in the restaurant was talking about the matter. Some people felt that Shen Xin did the right thing. The Formidable Great General had become a commander without an army and would be aggrieved to stay in the Ding capital. It was better to go far away and avoid getting tired of it. Some people however felt that Shen Xin was held up too high and did not know the immensity of Heaven and Earth. It was obvious that he had deceived the Emperor first and was lucky to keep his life, but he still dared to throw his face at Emperor Wen Hui. If it was not for Emperor Wen Hui's benevolence, if it was another ruler, one fear that he would have given a heavier punishment.
In Kuai Huo Lou, Ji Yu Shu held his chin and looked at Gao Yang, "What do you think this Shen Xin's intention is? To abandon the Shen family's army in the Ding capital? "
"If that is the case, then one really have some boldness and is not a reckless martial artist." Gao Yang sighed, "To retreat bravely in the face of a crisis, not everyone can do it." After drinking a mouthful of tea, Gao Yang then said to Xie Jing Xing who was silent at the side, "Why are you not speaking?"
Xie Jing Xing was interrupted and recovered to look at both of them, "The Shen family moves too fast."
"Fast?" Ji Yu Shu was somewhat puzzled.
Xie Jing Xing played with the teacup in his hand as a faint smile appeared on his lips. Pointing out a path to Shen Miao was to let the Shen family have a way out, but one did not expect that the Shen family's hands and feet would be so fast. He had just been stripped of his Tiger Tally yesterday, and today he went to the imperial court to ask for permission to withdraw. Shen Xin was a person who sought stability and to be able to make Shen Xin make such a choice in such a short period of time, Shen Miao must have said something to him.
Emperor Wen Hui let Shen Xin pack up and leave the capital. On the surface it was to embarrass Shen Xin, but he did not know that his thoughts were completely seen through by a little girl from the Shen family. If one knew about it, one did not know what kind of feeling one would have in one's heart. Xie Jing Xing had a feeling that in this game of chess in Ming Qi, Shen Miao would perhaps occupy a position that could lift something heavy as if it was light. It was just that … For him who was about to leave the capital, this did not have any meaning.
"Yu Shu will leave the capital with me." He said, "Gao Yang, I will leave the rest to you."
Ji Yu Shu touched his nose and showed some excitement, "Alright. Third Older Brother Xie. The pastries that the chefs here make are just too unpalatable. It is still Third Older Brother's chefs that are good. At least one do not need to starve."
Gao Yang rolled his eyes at him and said coldly, "The entire Ding capital has been eaten by you. Since when do you starve?" Finishing, he changed into a serious look and said to Xie Jing Xing, "Do not worry. Leave this to me."
