Marrying blindly and by mistake, the general’s misplaced wife

Chapter 156 She Likes My Brother

Shi Zhenjing's eyes lit up and she said, "Let's go and have a look."

The two also looked at each other and smiled.

Before, they pretended to send Chu Nanning back to rest, and it was only one aspect to make sure that she lived there.

They also did another great thing.

A major event that would ruin Chu Nanning's reputation and make him lose the dignity to live.

It can ruin a woman's reputation and make a fuss about her chastity.

Chu Yunzhao brought four guards from the Anyuan Hou Mansion. Shi Zhenjing meant that since these guards were here, there was no need to find others.

However, Chu Yunzhao was not stupid enough yet. She did not agree, so Shi Zhenjing suggested that Chu Nanning was good-looking. She was in the garden before, and several men were peeking at her. One of them she knew, Ju Guo Du Mingda, the fourth son of the Duke.

This man was the most beautiful, and he had many rooms in his house. It was said that he even had the eldest son of a concubine. Not only that, it was said that he had an extremely violent temper, especially on the bed, and many women were tortured to death by him.

It is precisely because of this that no one is willing to marry their daughter to him, so that even at the age of 22, he still has not married a wife. Before, he looked at Chu Nanning in a particularly vulgar way and could hardly look away.

Shi Zhenjing asked her maid to find the maid in the yard and send a message to Du Mingda.

Of course, as Chu Nanning.

As the son of the Duke of Ju, Du Mingda had no doubt that a daughter of a third-class prince brought back from the countryside admired him.

The two of them had already seen Du Mingda's eager eyes shining in the distance.

They had all seen it just now, and they didn't see Du Mingda inside or outside the pavilion.

Now that it has been so long, the two of them should have become good friends, right?

This time passed, the timing was perfect, and there was a good excuse.

Shi Zhenjing saw her brother in the crowd, and she winked. Shi Shaohong understood and nodded slightly in response.

Shi Zhen laughed quietly, the previous bad temper finally coming out.

At this moment, the wine glass was circulating in the water channel and stopped in front of Shi Shaohong.

Shi Shaohong picked up the cup and said slowly:

"The clear frost bullies the season,

Bai Xue is jealous of Pan Lang.

Go to the hairpin in the morning and evening,
Also looking for mulberry in the sea. "

Qiao Zongyan praised: "What a poem!"

Shi Shaohong smiled and put down his glass, letting it continue to flow down the river. He cupped his hand with a smile and said, "Thank you!"

The wine glass circulated and landed in front of Kong Changan's sister, Kong Suhua.

Kong Suhua is seventeen this year and has a reputation for talent in the capital. She smiled and said: "Just now Mr. Shi used Qingshuang as a sentence, so I should also respond to the scene. Let's also use poetry to harmonize it!"

She turned her bare hands lightly and parted her lips:

"The clear frost bullies the season,

The cold and snow hindered Yuan An.

Where can we join hands?
The Oriental chrysanthemum is still intact. "

Everyone applauded and praised this poem for a good reconciliation.

Shi Zhenjing watched Shi Shaohong being in the limelight, just as she was in the limelight, and quietly said to Chu Yunzhao: "This Miss Lu likes my brother!"

Chu Yunzhao didn't understand, so he just whispered: "Let's go back and see the excitement here!"

They left the lively crowd there and walked towards their residence, meeting a few people on the way.

Shi Zhenjing was in a good mood and took the initiative to say hello: "Miss Wang, Miss Li, Miss Zhou, why don't you go over there? How lively it is over there?"

The status of the three people's families is not very high. It is precisely because they can't talk to each other at the meandering water table and they seem a bit out of place outside the pavilion that they come here to enjoy the moon.

Seeing Shi Zhenjing taking the initiative to speak, she was very happy and responded enthusiastically: "It turns out to be Miss Shi, Miss Chu, where are you going?"

Shi Zhenjing said: "Miss Chu's sister was too drunk before and went back to sleep. Miss Chu was not worried, so she wanted to take a look!"

The three of them were very happy to communicate with the daughter of a second-grade official like Shi Zhenjing, and praised: "Miss Chu is such a good sister. The sisterly love is deep and enviable!"

Shi Zhenjing said: "Do you want to come together?"

The three of them looked at each other, and Miss Li was a little moved, but Miss Wang and Miss Zhou said very wisely: "We won't bother you."

Shi Zhenjing didn't force it. Anyway, if someone was alerted, they would be the first to know because they were close.

I don’t know what’s going on in the house right now, so I might as well not go there.

Although they are in the same courtyard, the houses are all separate and do not interfere with each other.There are three rooms on the west side. The main room is for the master, and the two small rooms next to it are for the maids.

As for the coachmen, guards and others, they will not enter the yard at the back. There is a separate place for them in the front.

In the other courtyard of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, the safety is the responsibility of Duke Dingguo's Mansion. They do not need to guard their own ladies. Moreover, the ladies gathering here are not allowed by outsiders.

The two sent the maid away and passed quietly.

The blood on the ground was dark in the night and exuded a strong fishy smell.

The killer was lying on the ground, his eyes wide open, and the blood from the bloody hole in his chest was no longer flowing.

In the air, there was not only the smell of blood, but also the remnants of other pungent smells that had not dissipated.Huo Ci's expression changed and he quickly said: "Hua Qi!"

A young man carrying a medicine box hurried over. He sniffed lightly and said: "Phantom poisonous butterfly powder! The amount is not much. It must be mixed in the smoke. Inhaling a little will cause coma. It is not very toxic!"

But if two people fight, if one is unconscious, it is enough for the other to do whatever they want.

Hua Qi went to Xia Chixiao to check his pulse.

Xia Chixiao said: "I didn't inhale it!"

Hua Qi said stubbornly: "Then take a look!"

After checking his pulse, Xia Chixiao was indeed fine.When the killer Poisonous Smoke made his move, his previous experience in the arena allowed him to hold his breath without thinking.

Hua Qi glanced at it, took the medicine box and left.The poisonous butterfly powder in the air is already very light and won't hurt anyone.

Zhuo Jun led people to dispose of the body.

Huo Ci glanced at Xia Chixiao with some worry and whispered: "Master, should we stay outside the tent and watch the night?"

He and Zhuo Jun's military tent was right next door to their master, but they didn't hear any movement until just now.

In other words, the killer came quietly, and even attacked the master almost under their eyes.This was a military camp, and they were unaware of it. If the master was weaker, the consequences would be disastrous.

Xia Chixiao said: "No need!"

He didn't look at the killer again, and asked the killer to kill him. Was that because he was destined to be killed?
Is it because he has found out the inside story about his father's death and the other party has discovered it, or is it because of other forces?

Is it the same as the one who sent the dead soldiers last time?

The body was carried down and disposed of, the blood stains were covered up, and everything was done quietly.

The entire military camp was still quiet and undisturbed.

Xia Chixiao looked at the ignorant moonlight in the sky and said, "Huo Ci!"

"Here!" "Starting from tomorrow, you will escort those people to Beijing and go on their way as normal!"

The army was so large that they couldn't stay in an inn. They camped on the roadside and didn't move very fast.At this rate, it would take more than half a month to reach Lengtai Camp.

Huo Ci said: "Master, do you want to separate from us?"

"Well, pack lightly and hurry up!"

"no!"

Xia Chixiao turned to look at him.

Huo Ci said: "There won't be only one killer. It's too dangerous for the master to be alone! You should bring your subordinates with you!"

"After I take you away, who will be responsible for escorting you?"

"Leave it to Zhuo Jun, he can do it!"

Huo Ci said it without even thinking.

Zhuo Jun, who had just returned from disposing of the body: "..."

He said: "Master, in terms of calmness and ability to deal with things, Huo Ci is better! Only by escorting him can he ensure that nothing goes wrong on the road. The subordinates can't do it, and they can only do mindless things. Therefore, the master still takes me and lets Huo Ci Resign from escort! If there is another killer on the road, my subordinates will stand in front of him."

Huo Ci stared at him, and he stared back.

You brat, you just wanted to stab me in the back while I was away. Fortunately, I came back quickly!
Huo Ci said: "Everyone around the master needs to be well trained. You can only do things that don't use your brain, so you should practice how to be independent!"

Zhuo Jun said: "You can practice at any time. Escorting these prisoners to Beijing is a big deal, and there is no room for mistakes. Of course you have to be experienced!"

"You don't want to grow, do you want to hold your master back in the future?"

"You shirk such an important matter, do you deserve the trust of your master?"

The two faced each other tit-for-tat, neither would give in.

Xia Chixiao glanced at them: "You all stay!"

"No, Master, why don't you take both of us with you? Even if you escort a few people, Meng Changdong, Huaheshan and the others in Lengtai Camp can do it!"

"Master, I don't know how many people are watching in the dark. You are alone, and your subordinates are worried!"

"What are you worried about? Is it possible that without your following, I will put myself in danger?" Xia Chixiao snorted and scolded: "Stop doing this in front of me!"

Huo Ci and the two shook their heads repeatedly. Of course they knew that their master was very powerful, but no matter how powerful a person was, they were afraid of underhanded tactics and hurting people with hidden arrows, right?Having more people around means more eyes.

Huo Ci reluctantly said: "Anyway, I don't agree with the master being alone. If it doesn't work out, the worst thing you can do is take Zhuo Jun with you! Although his martial arts is not as good as the master, he is still passable!"

"Yes, Master," Zhuo Jun said, "Master will always need someone to run around along the way, right? Bring your subordinates with you!"

Xia Chixiao said sternly: "The killers sent this time are not weak in martial arts, and they are quite capable. They must think they are bound to win. It is not certain whether they will send killers in the future! In addition, no one knows when I leave the military camp. They don't know my identity." There is no direction for sending people to intercept and kill his whereabouts. The more people he brings, the easier it is to be exposed. On the contrary, it is even less likely for me to attract attention!"

Huo Ci and Zhuojun were a little reluctant, but looking at the situation, the master had made up his mind.

They knew that there was no point in persisting, so they had to take a step back and said: "Then master, you must pay attention to safety!"

Xia Chixiao said: "Zhuo Jun, prepare your horse!"

"Master, are you leaving now?"

"Well!" He couldn't sleep anyway, and his heart had already flown to the capital. God knows how excited he was when he learned the news about his grandmother and knew that Chu Nanning was his wife whom he had not met for three years. It's just that the suppression of bandits was not over yet, and he still had to suppress his desire to return home.

We are all on our way back now, so go back earlier and just make the follow-up arrangements.

He waved to Huo Ci and handed over the military documents and other items to Huo Ci to take back. He had to tell him something.

The people at Lengtai Camp will know sooner or later that he has left the team first, so there is no need to worry about what trouble they will cause.After suppressing the bandits, these people were no longer thorns in his hands, but iron-blooded soldiers.

Huo Ci had no choice but to agree.

He could more or less guess why his master was in a hurry to return to the capital, and he was also happy for his master. After more than three years, his master finally found his relatives. Whoever it was, couldn't help but want to see him earlier, right?

Along the way, he will definitely do a good job and will not let his master have any worries!

Zhuo Jun brought the horse, Xia Chixiao patted the horse's head gently, got on the horse, quietly left the military camp under the cover of night, and galloped on the road back to Beijing.

In the night, the man on horseback pursed his thin lips tightly, his eyes were firm, and his upright body leaned lightly on the horse's back. The sound of horse hooves broke the night.

Beijing, here I come!

Grandma, your unfilial grandson is back!

The other courtyard of Duke Dingguo's Mansion in the capital.

The lanterns hanging under the eaves in the distance emitted a dim light, and the moonlight was not clear.

The main house was dark, and the maid's room next to it was also dark.Did you go to bed so early?She is a country girl after all, and maids are so unruly.

Shi Zhenjing, Chu Yunzhao and others were close to the window of the main house, listening attentively.

But the room was quiet.

This is different from what they expected. There should be some movement, right?
The two looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

Then does Du Mingda have a thief's heart or courage?It's been hinted so obviously, but he doesn't dare to come?waste!

Both of them were a little disappointed. Since there was no good show to watch, there was no need for them to be here anymore. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain when someone came later.

Just as they were about to leave, they heard a noise coming from the main house.

The sound stopped both of them in their tracks.

If you listen carefully, there seems to be a very low, suppressed breathing sound?

But it’s not clear.

The two looked at each other again, with even more confusion in their eyes.

Yes or no?Did they hallucinate just now?

But one person is hallucinating, and two people cannot hallucinate, so it is true!

What was really happening inside, but the soundproofing of the room was so good that they didn't hear it?
Could it be Du Mingda inside?Who else could it be but him?After all, he came on an appointment!

This is where Chu Nanning lives. Isn't it obvious who the other one is?

Chu Yunzhao's eyes were shining with excitement. She really wanted to open the door and let everyone see Chu Nanning's ugly appearance.

Because he was too close, the door opened slightly.

Didn't you even close the door?

Chu Yunzhao felt extremely contemptuous.

But she was even more excited. Everyone knew that Du Mingda was a lustful person. Maybe it was because of his eagerness, not because Chu Nanning didn't close the door.

She secretly said to herself, just take a look.She wanted to imprint Chu Nanning's ugly behavior in her mind. No matter what Chu Nanning did in the future, it would not affect her mood.

She quietly opened the door wider and stuck her whole head through.

Shi Zhenjing took a step behind her. Looking at Chu Yunzhao's appearance, she sneered in her heart, idiot!Chu Nanning's reputation was ruined. She would not be able to get married in the future and was ridiculed. She and her mother were plotted against her in the Duke's Palace of Wei, but now she deserves to be a joke in the Anyuan Marquis Palace!

But there was no sign of it on her face, and she asked in a very low voice: "How is it? Did you see it?"
