My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Therefore, Du Jingyi did not wait for him.

After lunch, we also went for a walk in the back garden to eat.

Then he returned to the main room, picked up his abacus, and read for a while.

People look no different than usual.

But for some reason, there seems to be a different place in my heart.

It seemed like he was waiting for someone to come back.

However, as soon as the thought came up, Du Jingyi immediately interrupted it.

After briefly freshening up, he got into bed.

I thought I would fall asleep earlier so that I wouldn't have random thoughts.

Who knew that when I was lying in bed, everything about last night was like a scroll unfolding, and came to my mind bit by bit.

Du Jingyi was embarrassed.

The moonlight is still as cold as ever, but the people under the moon seem to be different.

A heart full of longing, two places separated from each other.

Also feeling more concerned about Shang Ji.

In the big camp, after he made his usual rounds, he sat in the big tent.

On weekdays, if I am not studying the art of war, I am thinking about formations.

But today, half an hour has passed since the book landed on that page, and there is no sign of him turning it.

Luo Yuan, who was accompanying him, felt very strange.

Could it be that he is sick?

But it doesn't look like it.

So, he asked.

General, are you worried?

Shang Ji glanced at Luo Yuan inexplicably, and then said calmly.

No.

It was so straightforward that Luo Yuan couldn't accept the words.

I had no choice but to shut up and continue to accompany him calmly.

But not long after, Shang Ji suddenly stood up and said to Luo Yuan.

Prepare your horses and return home.

Luo Yuan frowned. This was the first time he saw his general's attitude like this.

But after many years in the military, he has long been accustomed to taking orders.

So he said loudly.

yes.

After a while, there was a rush of horse hooves outside the camp.

A group of about twenty people set out in a hurry from the dark night.

As for where to go, no one knows.

The soldiers who were responsible for guarding the camp saw this scene, and they all talked to each other.

That's strange. Didn't the general say that he would like to see how our troops are training early tomorrow morning? Why are you still leaving at this time?

I guess I have some mission, don't ask any more questions, just stand our guard!

Yeah, that's right.

After several people said this, they widened their eyes and continued to guard in case someone attacked the camp.

As for the sound of horse hooves, it gradually faded away.

Run towards the city.

Along the way, there were many fallen leaves and flying flowers.

Rushing to the city without stopping, the soldiers responsible for guarding the city gate were all on guard when they saw the men and horses coming suddenly in the dark night.

The leader immediately shouted loudly.

Who dares to break into the city at night?

We are the Tiger Army.

Tiger army? Aren't they those who just returned from a victorious battle with General Shang?

Under the night, everyone was dressed in black and brocade clothes.

Shang Ji didn't say a word, and Luo Yuan, who was next to him, stepped forward and took out the token of the Huben Army.

When the soldiers guarding the gate saw this thing, they immediately gave way to the passage.

Quick, quick, quick, brothers, let go!

yes.

Thank you!

Just as Luo Yuan finished speaking, Shang Ji was seen riding away, his figure like a gust of wind, making everyone around him look puzzled.

I didn't hear anything happened in the city, so why did General Shang miss the night and rush back?

With a sound of Drive..., Luo Yuan and others also chased after him.

They didn't care much about the others. The most important thing was to prevent others from taking advantage of the situation and causing harm to the general.

The sound of horse hooves was particularly noticeable in the empty night.

The group of people did not stop and rushed towards the Duke's Mansion.

In the past, this idea was easy to find, but today, Shang Ji felt that it was extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive.

He didn't know why, but he felt that he must have lost his mind.

He stayed up most of the night and rode home just because he wanted to take a look at his lovely wife whom he had only seen for four days.

If this matter had happened in the past, he would have scorned it.

But it was really his turn, but it was superfluous to console him.

Coming under the moonlight, the group stopped at the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

Knock on the door.

yes.

Luo Yuan got off his horse and knocked on the door of the Duke's Mansion.

The sound of banging was particularly clear in the night, and it soon woke up the boy guarding the door.

Who is it? You stayed up most of the night, here...

Before the word unbridled could be uttered, Luo Yuan's deafening voice scared him awake.

General, return home, open the door!

One sentence made the boy immediately rub his sleepy eyes, and then he looked through the crack in the door.

As expected, it was Luo Yuan's extremely serious face who immediately hurriedly opened the door.

Then he apologized one after another.

The little ones went to bed early. I don't know if the general is coming back. If I had known earlier, this door would never have been closed.

The incident of Mr. Qi Er being beaten is still vivid in his mind.

He didn't want to be the next one to be dealt with, so he said quickly and flatteringly.

Unfortunately, Shang Ji and others ignored him.

He led Luo Yuan straight into the gate.

As for the other guards, they stood uniformly at the door.

like a statue.

The moon entered the sky, and the place was quiet.

On the way to Dongyuan, I didn't encounter any probing servants.

After all, during the day, everyone had heard about Qi Er being beaten.

Those who did not pay attention to the people of Dongyuan before were now avoiding them like snakes and scorpions.

Even if you want to pass by Dongyuan, you have to walk faster.

Just because they are afraid of offending the general and the young master, they will be the next Qi Er in charge.

But Shang Ji and Du Jingyi didn't know this.

When we arrived at the gate of Dongyuan, the boy in charge of guarding was very energetic.

As soon as he saw the person coming, he immediately came out and asked.

who is it!

The high level of vigilance made Shang Ji raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

Compared to the janitor who slept like a dead pig at the gate, he obviously felt more qualified for the two guards in Dongyuan.

it's me.

Shang Ji's voice and appearance are all heard by everyone in Dongyuan, and they are firmly remembered.

Naturally, after the boys saw it clearly, they quickly stepped forward and said.

The young one has met the general.

Well, get up.

Thank you General.

Then Shang Ji passed through them and rushed towards Xitang Courtyard.

The door of Xitang Courtyard has been locked, but it does not prevent Shang Ji from going inside.

Luo originally wanted to go up and knock on the door, but was stopped by Shang Ji in a low voice.

Everyone in the room is fast asleep, why are you knocking on the door?

After saying that, Shang Ji used his strength to climb over through the wall next to the courtyard gate.

The movement was so fast that Luo Yuan almost didn't react.

He was immediately speechless. Could it be that in the middle of the night, they galloped away for almost an hour with their whips whipped up.

Just to climb over the wall of Xitang Courtyard?
