Request for Commander (Part 1)

"What did that mean?" Shen Lisa questioned.

Xie Jungkook would not say such words for no reason so there were other meaning behind these words.

Xie Jungkook's eyebrows raised as he looked at her, "Shen Yuan is Prince Ding's people."

Shen Lisa's heart was slightly surprise but she did not speak.

"Not possible!" Shen Lisa cried out involuntarily.

Xie Jungkook's gaze was fixed on her as if it was looking through Shen Lisa as he asked, "Why?"

Shen Lisa's palm got slightly wet and her heart was in a moment of chaos. The real start of Shen family's misfortune was not within these two years. The Imperial family would also delay in dealing with the Shen family as there was no one to take over at the moment. Shen Yuan worked for Prince Ding and both of them were people who was very cautious and would not take action if they were not very confident. Just like in the last lifetime, it was only at the end she then knew that the Second and Third household had a part in it and Shen Yuan definitely brought out the evidence of rebellion at the end.

But what was the time now? It was far too early from when the Imperial family would want to deal with Shen Xin so why did Shen Yuan choose to take action at this timing? Currently the evidence would not be complete so why Fu Sehun choose to take action now?

How could it be changed to this?

Her expressions kept changing and when she looked up it met with Xie Jungkook's thoughtful gaze. Shen Lisa's heart quivered, Xie Jungkook has a nimble mind and one fear that he was able to sense something out from her expressions. Thinking of this, she masked a laugh, "Shen Yuan is my Second Older Brother, why would he harm my Father?"

Hearing that, Xie Jungkook actually laughed in a profound way and said, "Shen Lisa, are you treating me as a fool?"

"Since Little Marquis tell me these things," Shen Lisa said seriously, "Then how would His Highness Prince Ding deal with my Father?"

Xie Jungkook shook his head.

Shen Lisa originally did not hold too much hope as even if Xie Jungkook knew, there was no reason for him to tell her the truth. The Xie family was wading in the game of Ming Qi and if they were to anyhow help other, one feared that trouble would come knocking. Even if she and Xie Jungkook's positions were to be exchanged, she would not even give a reminder.

It's just that... Shen Lisa looked at Xie Jungkook's official robes and asked puzzled, "What are you doing in the Palace?"

She asked casually but did not know that this made the confident Xie Jungkook paused. But it was only for a short moment before Xie Jungkook said lazily, "Enter to Palace to request for commander."

"Request for commander?" Shen Lisa froze for a moment before asking unconsciously, "Request for commander for whom?"

Xie Jungkook smiled but did not respond. Shen Lisa suddenly look at him, "You... request for commander yourself? Northern Jiang... Xiong Nu?"

This time Xie Jungkook was surprised, "How did you know?" The matter of the Northern Jiang was a secret matter and it was a top secret that before the Imperial edict was issued, Shen Xin would not even know of it, much less Shen Lisa. Xie Jungkook all the while was curious about how Shen Lisa gets her information and felt even more surprise that she knew about the matters in the Palace.

Shen Lisa looked at him blanking but there was a storm surging in her heart.

The Northern Jiang territory was a place where the Xiong Nu never retreat. Even though the terrain was complicated at the Northern Jiang, these years Emperor Wen Hui had been making a little noise and fighting little battles, unwilling to oppose headstrong. Afterwards the Xiong Nus got worst so Emperor Wen Hui send Xie Ding into battle. The Xie family army wwere brave but the entire army perished in the battlefield. On that year end, Xie Ding's horse brought the corpse back which made the entire country mourn. On the second year when spring starts, Xie Jungkook set off on an expedition on behalf of his father and the troops were defeated like a landslide and had a tragic ending of having thousands of arrows peirce his heart and he was skinned and hang up on the city tower.
