Meng Wu was speechless.
Song Jingchen added, “I’ll accept this money. Don’t mention anything about me saving her life again.”
Meng Wu was speechless. “Could you be any more shameless?” he thought.
No matter how angry he was, he did not dare to show it. He said gratefully, “The Bulwark Duke is so thoughtful. I’ll get someone to send the silver to the general’s residence later.”
Song Jingchen nodded and stopped talking.
That girl should be awake already. He could tell her the good news. Song Jingchen returned to his tent in a good mood. Shen Yijia was nowhere to be seen.
“General, Madam asked me to pass this to you for her.” The soldier handed him a note at the right time.
Song Jingchen held his forehead. With You Yi around, he didn’t have to worry about that girl’s safety. He thought for a moment and instructed, “Help me find ten soldiers who know how to set up lanterns.”
On the other side, after Meng Wu sent Song Jingchen away, he instructed someone to call Meng Linyan over with a dark expression. However, he was told that Meng Linyan had gone to Qingyang City.
That’s right. Because of what happened outside Song Jingchen’s tent, Meng Linyan was too ashamed to continue staying in the military camp, so she found an excuse and left.
However, she did not expect that this would make it easier for Shen Yijia to attack her.
On an official road outside Nanling Pass, a carriage was moving unsteadily.
In the carriage, Yue Zhu was carefully comforting Meng Linyan.
“Miss, don’t be sad. The Duke definitely didn’t recognize you, that’s why…”
Before she could finish, the carriage suddenly stopped. The master and servant were almost thrown out due to inertia.
“Miss, are you alright?” Yue Zhu quickly helped Meng Linyan up. She turned around and scolded, “How did you drive the carriage?”
No one paid attention to her.
No matter what, they were martial arts practitioners. The master and servant immediately sensed that something was wrong. They looked at each other, drew their swords, and rushed out of the carriage.
However, before they could see the enemy, two sacks descended from the sky and covered the two of them.
After seizing the sword, the attackers threw two punches and then two kicks.
You Yi almost perfectly copied Shen Yijia’s actions because before he attacked,
Shen Yijia said, “Do whatever you see me do.”
“Ah! How dare you? Where did you come from? Do you know who I am? I’m…”
Shen Yijia gave him a thumbs up and knocked out Meng Linyan, who was shouting.
You did the same thing and knocked Yue Zhu unconscious. Then, he looked at
Shen Yijia eagerly.
What should he do next?
Shen Yijia blinked. “Didn’t we see a village when we came? There should be a latrine pit there, right?”
If she dared to make her Huanhuan stink, she would let her have a taste of it. This was called giving someone a taste of their own medicine.
This was the path to Qingyang City. Although it was behind Nanling Pass, in order to prevent the city from being destroyed if the enemy broke through, the citizens of the nearby villages were also sent to Qingyang City.
Therefore, there was no need to worry that the villagers would be implicated.
You Yi was silent. He really didn’t know if he should say that Miss was kind or cruel. After all, she didn’t kill anyone, right?
Shen Yijia carried Meng Linyan on her shoulder. Seeing that he was still in a daze, she urged, “Don’t just stand there. We have to go back early.”
Although that was the case, it was already dawn when the two of them returned to the general’s residence.
From afar, she saw Uncle Ming standing at the door and looking around. When he saw her return, he seemed to say something to another servant in the house. Then, he smiled and welcomed her. “Madam, you’re back.”
Shen Yijia glanced into the residence but did not see anyone. She nodded and asked, “Uncle Ming, is my husband back?”
“He’s back. The Bulwark Duke came back early.”
Shen Yijia’s eyes lit up. She thanked him and jogged into the residence.
“The Bulwark Duke has returned to the courtyard.”
Uncle Ming’s reminder sounded behind her. Shen Yijia, who originally wanted to go to the study, did not stop in her tracks. She turned around and went to the courtyard where she lived.
Stepping into the courtyard, Shen Yijia stopped in her tracks.
When they moved in, they chose a small courtyard to clean up.
The decorations in the courtyard were extremely simple. There was only one osmanthus tree planted, but it was bare because no one had taken care of it for a long time.
However, at this moment, the originally bare osmanthus tree was filled with all kinds of lanterns.
Shen Yijia walked over and leaned closer to see that there was a painting on every lantern.
She reached down and took off the first lantern in front of her. On it was a drawing of a swaddled baby. The baby’s small face was wrinkled. It must have been newly born.
“You’re as ugly as a monkey,” Shen Yijia muttered. She hung the lantern back and went to get a second lantern.
It depicted a child walking with his hand on the wall. It was slightly longer than the first painting.
“This looks much better.”
She went to get a third lantern..
