Bai Yingxue scratched her arm and reached for the defense map in her arms, but she didn't feel anything!

"What's going on?!"

She suddenly lowered her head and felt around but couldn't find the defense map. Bai Yingxue was so scared that she didn't even feel itchy all over. Her heart skipped a beat!

Could it be that I was in such a hurry when I escaped just now that the defense map fell out? !

Bai Yingxue hurriedly wanted to open the tent and go out, but she saw that there were more than a dozen soldiers guarding outside than before!

She quickly ran back to the tent. She felt itchy all over and scared, which made her feel extremely irritable!

The defense map was originally used to frame Su Jinyue, but now it is lost in her hands, what should I do?

No... Now no one knows that she was the one who took the defense map. By the time General Zhao discovered that the defense map was missing, they were probably on their way back to Beijing.

Even if she finds out that the defense map is lost, it shouldn't be her fault!

Bai Yingxue covered her arm. The most important thing now was to detoxify the poison Su Jinyue had given her.

The next morning, after all the military pay and food brought by the reinforcements from the capital had been handed over, Zhao Datong said, "Now that we have defeated the enemy, General Xiao and your party do not need to rush back to the capital."

"Why don't you stay in the camp tonight, have a bowl of celebratory wine, and then set off tomorrow."

Doctor Zhou said to Su Jinyue: "The general is right. All the soldiers in our camp want to thank Miss Su for her kindness."

Su Jinyue smiled and was about to speak when Bai Yingxue interrupted her, "She just got lucky this time. Does she really want to set up a banquet?"

"She came to the border just for the soldiers. The military pay should be used properly, not on her alone."

"Besides, we are going back to Beijing to meet the emperor and take up the post. We can't waste time just for her."

Bai Yingxue was in a hurry to leave. If she waited until tonight and Zhao Datong discovered that the defense map was missing, he might find it on her!

Zhao Datong's expression became somewhat reluctant, and he wanted to explain. Su Jinyue smiled and said, "I was going to refuse it too."

"Your Majesty's reinforcements have arrived, and we can't delay any longer." Su Jinyue said, "Xiao Tao, bring the things here."

Xiao Tao handed a small wooden box to General Zhao, "This is a little gift from our lady, please accept it."

Zhao Datong opened the wooden box and saw a stack of banknotes inside. He was stunned for a moment, "So many banknotes?! Miss Su, I can't accept this!"

"General Zhao, please accept it. Consider it as a reward to the Mighty Army."

After Su Jinyue finished speaking, she saluted solemnly to all the soldiers and said, "Take care, everyone!"

All the soldiers saluted Su Jinyue in unison, "We respectfully send Miss Su back to the capital!"

Bai Yingxue couldn't help but roll her eyes behind him. She was always good at pretending and even now she didn't forget to win people's hearts!

After packing the luggage, Su Jinyue got on the carriage with Xiao Tao, while Xiao Duo, Song Yan and others followed behind on horseback.

Bai Yingxue rode beside Xiao Duo on horseback. She was not happy with the carriage in front of her and said in a gloomy tone, "If Miss Su could ride a horse, we could walk faster."

Xiao Duo did not say anything, his eyes following the carriage in front.

Seeing that Xiao Duo didn't say anything, Bai Yingxue continued to talk to herself, "Xiao Duo, leave Song Yan and Meng An with Miss Su, and let's ride back to the capital together as soon as possible so that we can report to the emperor as soon as possible."

Song Yan wanted to say something, but then he remembered that Bai Yingxue's father was his master's savior, and he didn't know how to start.

Meng An was a stubborn person, and he said directly: "Even if you return to the capital with my master, you have to wait until Miss Su returns to the capital before you can see the emperor."

"Why would a woman like her enter the palace to see the emperor?"

Bai Yingxue said: "She has not made any military achievements, so how can she meet the emperor?"

The tone of her voice made it sound as if she had made some great military achievements.

Meng An said: "Miss Su has made great contributions in curing the epidemic, so she should naturally go to the palace to be rewarded. But Miss Bai, you'd better not go to the palace. The spread of the epidemic is caused by you, and His Majesty is afraid that he will blame you."

Song Yan almost couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. Meng An's skill of making people angry in a serious manner was really becoming more and more proficient day by day.

Even if Song Yan didn't laugh, Bai Yingxue's face turned ashen and looked very ugly.

Xiao Duo didn't speak to them, but rode his horse to catch up with the carriage in front.

Knock knock knock.

Inside the carriage, the master and servant were gathered together, eating the cakes they brought from the city when they left, when they heard a knock on the carriage window.

When Su Jinyue looked at the carriage window, Xiao Tao had already put down the cakes and went over to open the curtain. She saw the person outside looking at her young lady excitedly, "Miss, it's General Xiao!"

Turning her head, Su Jinyue just happened to see him riding a horse, following the carriage slowly. The corners of her lips curved into an arc, "Are you hungry, young general?"

Su Jinyue came to the carriage window, held up the cake and handed it out, "Would you like to have a cake?"

Xiao Duo lowered his eyes to glance at the cake in Su Jinyue's hand, and rode his horse closer to the carriage, "I wasn't hungry originally."

"Now that you ask me that, I feel a little hungry."

Xiao Duo leaned over and took a bite of the pastry in Su Jinyue's hand.

Unexpectedly, she was the one feeding the cake to Xiao Duo's mouth. Su Jinyue felt the burn from the back of her hand to her cheek. She quickly withdrew her hand, "Xiao Tao, put down the curtain!"

Xiao Duo was riding a horse outside the carriage and did not miss the momentary blush on Su Jinyue's face. There was a faint smile in his eyes.

The three people who were "left" behind naturally saw what was happening in front.

Song Yan and Meng An had long been accustomed to their master's attitude towards Su Jinyue, but Bai Yingxue almost broke the reins while sitting on the horse!

When she saw Su Jinyue reaching out her hand to feed Xiao Duo some pastries, she wanted to rush over and chop off her arm with a knife!

"You don't have any of the modesty of a girl from Beijing!" Bai Yingyue said coldly.

Meng An felt puzzled and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Song Yan who was standing beside him. Song Yan shook his head at him and told them that it would be better for them not to interfere in their master's affairs.

They did not delay on the way and almost rushed all the way.

Fortunately, nothing happened on the journey and they arrived in the capital safely.

When we entered the city, it was already evening and the sun was about to set.

Xiao Duo got off the horse and looked at Su Jinyue who got off the carriage. "It's not yet past the hour of You. Miss Su, let's have a meal together before returning home."

"No." Su Jinyue shook her head. "I haven't been back home for a while, and I don't know what the situation is like there. I'd better go back to the mansion first."

"No need to rush." ​​Xiao Duo said, "When we arrived in Western Xinjiang, I had someone send a message to the emperor. You went to Western Xinjiang with me. The Marquis should know that he will not embarrass you."
