Chapter 213 Surprise Attack
With a smug look on her face, Wen Yuening picked up the two soft pillows and placed them on the soft couch not far away. "I suppose Your Highness must be a little hungry. I'll have someone prepare some food for you."
Fearing that if she stayed any longer, the other party would really get angry, Wen Yuening quickly made her escape.
[Hitomi! Hitomi!]
Unable to cure Wen Yuening, Shen Sangwan began to cause trouble for Xiaotong.
Before Xiao Tong, who was trying to play dead, could prepare, Shen Sangwan pulled her out.
[Your Highness, at least put on some proper clothes! This sloppy attire doesn't suit a princess at all.]
The timid Xiaotong stood in the corner and, after accidentally catching a glimpse of Shen Sangwan's clothes, dared not meet her gaze.
"You're blaming me now? If it weren't for you and your treacherous system secretly plotting against me, would I be in this state?"
"Today I've figured it out. You guys either drugged me, gave me some kind of muscle weakness treatment, or like yesterday, none of you are good people. Looks like I'll have to pick an auspicious day and take you all down with me."
Xiao Tong pouted and muttered to herself, "He talks about suicide all the time, but I haven't seen him actually do it."
Xiao Tong's voice was very soft, but Shen Sangwan surprisingly heard it. She got up from the bed and grabbed Xiao Tong's ear aggressively.
What, you want to see me do something else?
【Ouch—it hurts...it hurts...】
[Master, I was just kidding, please let go, you've almost twisted my ear out of shape.]
[They weren't good-looking to begin with. Master, count how many times you've pulled them. Why don't you DIY my ears and give them mini ears?]
Xiao Tong's words gave Shen Sangwan an idea. She immediately opened the panel and, following the other party's instructions, pinched the ears of Xiao Tong's derivative appearance again.
It's not that it was shrunk, but rather that it was enlarged by two times.
[Waaaaah, Master, how could you do this!]
Seeing her ears that looked just like "Pigsy's" (a character from Journey to the West), Xiaotong plopped down on the ground and started wailing.
If you keep howling like a banshee, I'll give you a full-body massage like Pigsy from Journey to the West.
As soon as Shen Sangwan finished speaking, Xiaotong immediately fell silent and subconsciously covered her mouth.
"Such adorable ears! Others would love to have them, what's there to cry about?"
Xiao Tong felt so frustrated that she didn't dare to argue back, and could only curse inwardly.
As luck would have it, Wen Yuening returned at that moment and overheard every word Xiaotong was thinking.
"Your Highness, Xiaotong is secretly criticizing you in her heart. She must be resentful. I think she should be taught a lesson."
Xiao Tong, who was in the middle of her rant, heard Wen Yuening's voice and looked over in disbelief.
"Good grief, all that help I gave you before was for nothing. You repay kindness with enmity like this. Humph, I'll never help you again."
"I'll go talk to the main system right now and see if we can just let my master stand up, so you won't get too arrogant."
The more Xiaotong thought about it, the angrier she became. She stood with her hands on her hips, glaring angrily at Wen Yuening.
"Hey, why does this little thing look so strange?"
At this moment, Shen Sangwan and Xiaotong both showed expressions of disbelief. She hesitated for a moment before asking, "You...can you see Xiaotong?"
After placing the food box on the table, Wen Yuening walked straight towards Xiao Tong.
He reached out and curiously touched the other person's new ear. "It's the first time I've seen it. It's quite cute, but this ear doesn't seem to suit this face very well."
Xiao Tong took several steps back, then hurriedly ran behind Shen Sangwan, cautiously watching Wen Yuening.
In the past, only Shen Sangwan could see him and touch him, but now Wen Yuening has suddenly appeared as well, which gives him a bad feeling.
Shen Sangwan was also unable to calm down about this matter for a long time.
The plot is getting weirder and weirder.
"Your Highness, why aren't you dressed properly? It's almost the end of the year, and the weather is very cold. Please don't catch a cold."
As he spoke, he picked up the clothes from the rack and put them on Shen Sangwan, carefully dressing her.
"You can only see it today?"
"Well, before I came in, I only heard Xiaotong muttering about His Highness. I didn't expect to see a little child huddled in the corner after I came in."
After tying the belt around her waist, I pulled her to sit at the table, opened the food box lid, and steam was still rising from it.
"Your Highness, please eat it while it's hot."
"Besides mind reading, do you have any other special or unusual abilities?"
Shen Sangwan pushed away the food in front of her, took the other person's hand, and asked very seriously.
Wen Yuening shook her head, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Why did Your Highness suddenly ask that?"
"No...it's okay."
Suppressing her thoughts for the moment, she moved the bowl she had pushed away earlier back and ate her food with mixed feelings.
Xiaotong stood rooted to the spot as if being punished, not daring to move or let her mind wander.
He was afraid that Wen Yuening would overhear him and cause him trouble.
In the past, when others couldn't see him, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous. Now that others can touch him, he should learn to be more humble and timid than others.
After the meal, Shuyun brought people from the Imperial Observatory to pay their respects.
"This humble official greets the General."
Shen Sangwan pointed to a chair next to her, indicating that the other person should sit down. "Sit down and talk."
The visitor was an elderly man in his fifties, with white hair growing at his temples, giving him a weathered appearance.
"According to what the general said, based on the celestial phenomena, the day after tomorrow will be an auspicious day. There will be no rain from the hour of Yin to the hour of Chen, but there will be a strong southwest wind. After this time, there will be a downpour. If the temperature is too low, there is a good chance that we will see the first snow of the year."
Shen Sangwan listened carefully to the old man's report and made up her mind.
How long will the southwest wind last?
"I don't know for now, as the wind direction and weather conditions vary, but I can give the general an accurate answer on the same day."
Shen Sangwan had originally considered using fire, but the temperature was too low, and even with white phosphorus, it would be difficult to achieve spontaneous combustion.
The southwest wind is favorable to her. If she goes with the wind, she can add something to disrupt the enemy's formation and minimize her own losses.
She can hardly be called a gentleman; she doesn't engage in the kind of reciprocal courtesy that ancient warriors showed in war. As long as she can minimize losses and achieve victory without harming innocent people, that's enough for her.
Suddenly, the scene of her using itching powder to enter the palace and save the emperor flashed through her mind. She wondered if it would have a miraculous effect in such a large-scale battle.
"Okay, I will await your reply from now on."
The old man rose, knelt down, kowtowed, and then withdrew.
"Shuyun, summon Mo Ran and the other generals. I have something to tell you."
"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."
Sitting in her chair, Shen Sangwan stared in the direction where Shuyun had disappeared, and muttered to herself, "Some things should be done unexpectedly, catching the opponent off guard."
This time, she's going to secretly pull off a big heist.
