At that moment, Shen Yijia had just returned from the city tower. The two of them met at the entrance of the general’s residence.
“Sister-in-law, why are you back alone? Where’s my brother?” Song Jinghuan jogged over. Noticing Shen Yijia’s pale face, she asked worriedly, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
“I’m fine.” Shen Yijia handed the horse rope to Thirty Thousand, who had sent her back. “Your brother is still busy. Do you have something urgent to tell him
Initially, she did not want to come back, but the smell of blood outside the city was too strong, making her want to vomit. She did not want her beautiful husband to worry, so she found an excuse to come back first.
“Let’s go in first.” Song Jinghuan pulled her into the house.
After she finished speaking, Shen Yijia frowned and said, “Let You Yi save her. Don’t return to the military camp tonight. You can hand the things to your brother when he returns.”
With You Yi’s skills, he could save him silently.
Song Jinghuan thought so too and nodded repeatedly.
Naturally, there were no surprises. In less than an hour, he carried the unlucky Liu Jinbao back.
Liu Jinbao had never seen You Yi before and thought that she was Meng Shaoyuan’s subordinate. He had been on tenterhooks the entire way. When he saw Song Jinghuan, he pounced on her and hugged her without thinking. “1 knew you would save me.”
Song Jinghuan was speechless.
She tried her best to suppress the urge to throw him out. She reached out and patted his back comfortingly. “Alright, alright. Don’t be afraid.” Looking at the two of them hugging, Shen Yijia blinked.
Yes, they were quite compatible.
This time, Xiao Qirui was also seriously injured. Xiao Li helped him bandage his wound. Seeing that he was still smiling, he said with a sobbing tone, “Young Master, why are you still smiling? You almost…”
“Xiao Li, it seems like we can really go back alive.” Xiao Qirui interrupted him with a smile.
Xiao Li choked.
Seeing him stand up, Xiao Li reached out to help him up. Xiao Qirui waved his hand. “It’s just some superficial wounds. Help me prepare the ink.”
He walked over to the desk and sat down.
Xiao Li instantly guessed what he wanted to do and said helplessly, “You write a letter to Miss Yuan every three days and don’t send it out. I really don’t understand what’s the point of writing like this.”
Xiao Qirui shook his head. “I just write it when I want to.”
“Then why don’t you send it to her?” Although he said that, Xiao Li didn’t stop grinding the ink.
Xiao Qirui’s hand that was holding the pen paused. He didn’t send it because he didn’t want to disturb her and make things difficult for her. He was also afraid that he would be disappointed if he didn’t receive a reply.
‘You can leave first,” he said.
‘Yes.”
Without looking up, Xiao Qirui dipped his brush in ink. “It is the sixth day of
June. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Qirui folded the letter and placed it in a special box.
At this moment, Xiao Li’s voice sounded outside the tent.
“Bulwark Duke, you’re here.”
“Yes, I’m here to see Brother Xiao.”
“My young master is…” Before Xiao Li could finish, the tent curtain was lifted from the inside. Xiao Qirui glanced at Xiao Li and then at Song Jingchen. “Why are you here so late?”
“I came to see how your injuries are,” Song Jingchen said.
Xiao Qirui said, “It’s just a small injury.”
The two of them entered the tent. Thirty Thousand and Xiao Li stood guard outside.
“What happened?” Xiao Qirui took the tea Song Jingchen poured and asked.
They were all people who had been to the battlefield. They could tell at a glance how serious their injuries were. There was no need to come all the way here at night.
Song Jingchen took out two envelopes and handed them over. “Someone asked
Sister Huan to pass these to me.”
Xiao Qirui took it suspiciously and opened it. When he saw the contents, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “It’s expected.”
Of the two letters, one was to remind Retired Emperor Meng Wu of his fear of General Gao, and the second was a reward.
Although they didn’t know why Meng Wu didn’t destroy these two letters immediately, Song Jingchen and Xiao Qirui believed most of the contents of the letters.
Just as Xiao Qirui had said, it was within his expectations. He just lacked evidence.
Now that he thought about it, Xiao Qirui suddenly felt a little glad. Although the Xiao family was in charge of the garrison in Chang’an, they could not mobilize them without the other half of the commander’s seal in the emperor’s hand.
Otherwise, the Xiao family would probably follow in the footsteps of the Song and Gao families.
“Aren’t you going to wait for Your Majesty to make a decision?” Xiao Qirui asked.
The more one knew about this, the more unexpected it would be. Song
Jingchen must have other plans for coming to look for him.
Song Jingchen shook his head. “I’m worried about leaving such a hidden danger in the army..”
