MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Chapter 38: Climbing over the wall

But no matter how helpless he was, his own generals had already turned over, so he couldn't just stand here blankly, so he also turned over.

 It was quiet in the room, and everyone who should be sleeping was obviously asleep.

Luo Yuan saw that his generals were all slowing down, so he naturally followed suit.

 After a while, we arrived at the door of the main house.

Luo Yuan frowned slightly when he thought of what happened last night.

 But there are some things that he cannot say randomly.

So he corrected his mind, stood in the yard with his back to the door of the main room, and concentrated on being his "doorkeeper".

 When Shang Ji pushed the door open, he obviously encountered resistance.

She really spared no effort in locking all the doors.

In the past, he didn’t care and just broke in through the door. There was no place in the world that could block his way.

 But now, he looked around and saw that the windows were also closed, and there was really nothing he could do for a while.

 I had no choice but to knock on the door gently.

　　The person on duty today is Cherry.

 She was a light sleeper, so she heard any movement outside.

 I woke up immediately and asked.

"who?"

"it's me."

Shang Ji's voice was deep and magnetic, with some undoubted intimidation.

So Cherry reacted immediately and immediately stepped forward to pull the door latch.

After opening the door gently, there was a look of confusion on his face.

 “Why is the general back?”

 Then he looked up at the sky and saw that it was almost Zizheng.

Shang Ji did not answer her, but walked sideways through the door.

Going through the hall, bypassing Su Xiu's screen, and soon saw Du Jingyi sleeping soundly.

The moonlight shone softly on the tent, and she happened to be sideways facing outside, so her face was particularly soft.

Shang Ji didn't know why, but after seeing this, his whole body relaxed from a tense state.

Seeing this, Qingtao couldn't help but walked out of the door quietly.

While still thinking about bringing some hot water to the general to wash himself off, he saw Luo Yuan standing in the yard under the moonlight.

His face was as resolute and cold as ever. Cherry snorted, turned around and left from the corridor to the penthouse.

Luo Yuan was also confused. Forget it, he climbed over the wall at night and was made a bad face by a girl.

 I don’t know who gave her the courage and confidence to despise herself so much.

 Speaking of which, he probably doesn’t have much interaction with this smelly girl.

 Why is it always wrong?

Is it possible that she was born a little like a husband who was unkind and ungrateful to her?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but chuckle in a low voice.

As a result, the smile had not been on my lips for long when I saw another movement at the door.

Shang Ji walked out calmly, no different from when he came.

Hearing some movement, Yingtao also came out of the ear room and said to Shang Ji.

"General, the hot water is ready. My servant will help you freshen up."

She thought that Shang Ji would naturally need to rest when he came back late at night, so she was fully prepared.

 What a pity, Shang Ji also glanced sideways and explained.

“No need, I just came back to check on my wife’s injuries. Use this medicine. It will heal quickly.”

 After saying that, he handed over a porcelain bottle from his arms.

Cherry was hesitant, but still took it and answered respectfully.

 “Well, I know this.”

After saying this, Shang Ji took Luo Yuan and went out the same way they came.

Seeing that the wall that was more than a foot long was easily overturned, Cherry suddenly felt that this wall seemed to be unable to block anything.

So he sighed briefly and looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand, feeling a little dazed. Come in a hurry and leave quickly.

 The boy at the gate had just fallen asleep and was woken up again.

But this time, before he even had time to say a word, he saw Shang Ji and Luo Yuan flying on their horses and galloping away with their personal guards.

 The speed was so fast that he couldn't help but rub his eyes, patted his face again, and said something dreamily.

 “Could it be that I was wandering at night?”

Unfortunately, the only answer to him was the boundless night and the occasional sound of wind and grass in the silence.

Hurrying all the way, when it was almost time to reach Chouzheng, Shang Ji and other people returned to the camp.

The night watch was still the same group of soldiers. When they saw their general leading his people back, they couldn't help but sigh.

"General, this speed is really fast. I wonder if the matter can be done well?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? When will there be anything that our general can't do without taking action?"

  “That’s right.”

"Okay, let's keep watching. It will be dawn in another hour."

"Um."

 After some conversation, the camp fell into silence again.

 After returning to the big tent, Shang Ji felt quite relaxed.

He fell down and slept on the wooden bed, with a thin quilt. He didn't feel anything like it before, but today he felt it was a little rough when he touched it.

 Closing his eyes, all he could think about was the soft satin quilt in Xitang Courtyard.

 Then, he fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, the sky was a little bright.

 In the camp, the horn sounded early.

 The soldiers woke up from their sleep one by one, and immediately dressed and washed without any sloppiness.

 After a while, everyone gathered on the training ground and prepared to train.

Shang Ji had a stern face and his eyes were full of determination and perseverance.

With his lips pursed slightly, he stood on the stage and looked at the soldiers below.

 Everyone is full of energy and full of blood.

They all just returned from Cezhou, but the two or three months of marching on the road can be regarded as rest.

So, after taking a quick glance, Shang Ji used his inner strength to push his voice and spoke loudly.

“From today onwards, the training of the Huben Army will continue as usual, without any neglect. Do you understand?”

 “Yes, General!”

The upper and lower parts are uniform and the sound is loud and high-pitched.

Hearing such a sound, even Luo Yuan next to him became excited.

Immediately afterwards, the entire martial arts training ground was filled with various figures training soldiers.

 Agility, sensitivity, and strong impact.

Whether it's a long-distance shooting or a close-up shirtless battle, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Shang Ji watched every move of the soldiers below, with pride showing in his eyes from time to time.

 Such soldiers are the impregnable foundation of the great prosperity of the dynasty.

And he was also happy to have such brothers who could fight together.

 The memories of training and fighting in the Gu family's military camp flashed by.

Grandfather, eldest uncle, second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, and several cousins.

 That voice and smile still echoed in Shang Ji's mind.

In an instant, the corners of his mouth that had just been raised were lowered again, and his whole body was filled with a cooling autumn feeling.

 On the outskirts of the city, the roar of the Tiger Army resounded through the sky.

In Sui'an City, people gradually came out to set up stalls and do business.

At about the same time, there was movement in the courtyards of the Duke's Mansion.

 Some people get up late, and naturally there are also people who get up early.
