The lights in the west courtyard of the Shen family were bright all night.

Shen Gui and Shen Wan wanted to come in and ask, but Shen Xin asked his trusted aides to guard the entrance of the courtyard, not allowing anyone to enter.

In the room, Shen Qiu poured a cup of tea for Shen Miao and said, “Sister, take your time. Tell us your plan in detail.”

When it came to military matters, Shen Xin, Luo Xueyan, and Shen Qiu never discussed with Shen Miao. The military matters were so complicated and deep that even the officials couldn’t understand, let alone Shen Miao, a little girl who had never been outside the capital.

However, Shen Miao said it so logically that Shen Xin and his wife couldn’t help but look at her in shock.

“Give up the Shen army and retrain the Luo army.” Luo Xueyan said in confusion, “But the Shen army is all elite. The Luo army is…” At the mention of the soldiers her father used to lead, Luo Xueyan was still a little sad.” How can they compare to the Shen army? ”

“Although the Luo army is not as experienced, it’s safer to lead them.” Shen Miao said, “There’s already spies planted by people in the Shen army. Who knows if they will try to stab Father in the back some day?”

As soon as she said that, the three of them fell silent.

Shen Xin said, “I’ve thought about what Sister said too.”

Shen Qiu and Luo Xueyan looked at Shen Xin at the same time. At this moment, Shen Xin no longer looked suspicious. He looked at Shen Miao with admiration in his eyes. “However, Jiaojiao, what did you mean when you said in the carriage that I will definitely be summoned back to the capital within two years?”

“That’s right.” Shen Qiu also turned to look at Shen Miao. “Sister, how did you know that His Majesty will summon Father back to the capital within two years?”

No one could guess what the emperor was thinking. When Shen Miao said this, it seemed to mean something. Luo Xueyan immediately became nervous. The person who could figure out the emperor’s thoughts was definitely someone close to Emperor Wen Hui. Could it be Prince Ding? What Luo Xueyan was most worried about was that Shen Miao would also be involved in the power game between the princes.

Shen Miao lowered her eyes. Within two years, Emperor Wen Hui would naturally have to summon Shen Xin back to the capital because Ming Qi was under threat from the State of Qin. At that time, Emperor Wen Hui’s health was already very poor. The crown prince was bedridden, and Prince Zhou and Prince Li were fighting each other to the death, and the net Fu Xiuyi had laid out was gradually spreading.

As a loyal official and general, Shen Xin would definitely be used by Emperor Wen Hui to deter the enemy country.

However, these were something Shen Miao couldn’t speak out loud. Facing their gazes, Shen Miao smiled and said, “I just had a very realistic dream. In the dream, within two years, Father will make a comeback and win back the title of the mighty general.”

Whether or not Shen Xin could be summoned back to the capital within two years was something that no one could say for sure. However, whether it was a year, two years, or three or four years, retreating to the Northwest at this moment was indeed the best solution. Not only was it to make a comeback, but it was also because the competition for the throne was now very intense. If the Shen family stayed in the capital, even if they did not have military power, they would inevitably be dragged into this mess. He had to make sure his family was safe before thinking about making contributions.
