The reckless shouting and crying stunned Xiao Tuo.

His hand on Jiang Yuanyi's shoulder was a little stiff, and the little girl choked again. Xiao Tuo came back to his senses, his heart was sour and soft, and he collapsed.

He hugged Jiang Yuanyi in his arms, his throat was hard: "I won't die. I'm so powerful, who can defeat me?"

Who would have thought that the more he said this, the harder Jiang Yuanyi cried.

I don't know how long she cried and how long he coaxed her.

Jiang Yuanyi just got over the sadness, sniffed, reached under the pillow, and took out the military token: "I don't care, sister gave me all the military tokens of the Huquan Army. I am now the general of the Huquan Army."

Xiao Tuo: "..."

The Huquan Army is indeed different from the general organization of the army. It was led by Xiao Tingyi. Although it is an army, it has no more than a hundred people including Xiao Tingyi. The Huquan Army only recognizes this military token. Whoever has the military token and is recognized by Xiao Tingyi will be the next general.

Xiao Tuo started to bluff her: "You are too naive. You know that promotion in the army requires killing and military merit. You are a fifth-rank general as soon as you join the army. Do you think it is possible?"

Jiang Yuanyi took his sleeve to wipe the tears from her face, snorted, and rolled her eyes: "I asked my sister, don't try to fool me."

Xiao Tuo: "..."

Xiao Tuo's hands on the bed clenched slightly. Jiang Yuanyi had already lay down, facing inside, her back still twitching.

He turned Jiang Yuanyi over and looked at her: "Yuanyi, will you listen to me this time?"

Jiang Yuanyi lay flat like this, raised her eyes and looked straight into his eyes.

His eyes were deep and narrow, and his dark pupils flickered in the flickering candlelight. Jiang Yuanyi looked at his young and handsome face, as if she saw the shadow of her previous life.

She did not witness the scene of Xiao Tuo's death with her own eyes, but the battlefield was littered with corpses and the wind was chilly.

An arrow suddenly pierced through Xiao Tuo's chest. He let go of the sword, fell straight back, and hit the thick snow... This picture appeared countless times in Jiang Yuanyi's mind.

Jiang Yuanyi wanted to cry again. She stood up slightly, hooked her arms around Xiao Tuo's neck, and pressed him down. She

said stubbornly: "I don't want to listen."

She obviously didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore. Seeing Xiao Tuo's lips moving, she immediately kissed him to stop him from talking.

Xiao Tuo pulled her away: "Yier."

Jiang Yuanyi took the initiative to kiss him for the first time, but was pushed away by him. She wrinkled her nose and was about to cry again.

It was late at night. Jiang Yuanyi had been crying all night. If they continued talking like this, they would not get any results even if they waited till dawn. Xiao Tuo got up, fetched a basin of hot water from outside, wiped Jiang Yuanyi's face carefully, and applied a hot towel to her eyes.

Xiao Tuo covered her with a quilt and reached out to hug her as usual, but was pushed away by Jiang Yuanyi.

He was stunned, then hugged her to him, ignoring her struggle, and kissed her soft hair: "Be good, go to sleep."

After an unknown amount of time, the person in his arms fell asleep, and a light breathing sound could be heard.

Xiao Tuo looked at the dark night sky and did not sleep all night.

————

When he woke up in the morning, Jiang Yuanyi's eyes were still swollen, and there was some blue-gray around Xiao Tuo's eyes.

The old ancestor was concerned about his unborn great-grandson all day long, and didn't notice it at all. When he heard that the two were going to set off to return, he was also cheerful and perfunctorily said: "Be careful on the road."

Xiao Tuo looked at the unborn child in his sister's belly, and suddenly realized that the loss of favor came so suddenly.

The old man had difficulty walking, so he didn't send the two people out. Xiao Tingyi and Lin Zhengyu sent them to the main road out of the mountain.

Xiao Tingyi looked at Jiang Yuanyi standing next to the carriage, and pulled Xiao Tuo's arm: "Come with me."

The two walked under a tree nearby. Xiao Tingyi has always been not good at dealing with such things, but it was related to him, so he still bit the bullet and said: "Did you have a fight last night?"

Xiao Tuo nodded and shook his head.

Xiao Tingyi saw that he looked haggard, and guessed roughly.

"The situation on the border is not as good as imagined. If a war breaks out one day, the Huquan Army can also play a role," she paused and said, "In a year and a half at most, I can return to the army."

Xiao Tuo frowned: "Why do you want to hand over the army to Yi'er?"

Wouldn't it be better to choose someone from the Huquan Army who has no experience at all and has only learned and practiced kung fu for four or five months?

Xiao Tingyi said: "I know my men and I know Yuan Yi. They don't have Yuan Yi's talent and courage."

Xiao Tingyi patted Xiao Tuo on the shoulder: "Maybe there will be peace in the next two years and there will be no need to fight."

Xiao Tuo smiled: "I hope so."

————

The two of them came back playing all the way. They had fun along the way, and no one mentioned the matter again.

When I returned to Beijing, it was the sixth day of the seventh month. It was already the end of summer and the capital had become a little cooler. The inner streets were still bustling, especially in front of the wine shops. What was new was that there were several more teahouses.

The decoration of the teahouses was more exquisite than that of the wine shops. Outside the door was a slightly damp gravel road with some green bamboos planted on both sides. After crossing the path and lifting the white curtain, there was the teahouse, which was leisurely and elegant.

Jiang Yuanyi smiled and suddenly remembered that she and Xiao Tuo had originally planned to go to Yucheng for a look. She

had been thinking about that incident for the next few days and had forgotten it.

Xiao Tuo saw the corners of her mouth droop a little, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yuanyi pointed to the teahouse that had moved behind her: "I suddenly remembered that we forgot to go to Yucheng."

Xiao Tuo turned and looked at the newly opened teahouses, then turned back and rode closer to Jiang Yuanyi: "If you want to go back to your hometown, we can find a time to bring your parents-in-law with you."

Jiang Yuanyi shook her head: "It's too troublesome." She spoke lightly, looking forward with a normal expression. Xiao Tuo didn't know what to say for a moment.

When the two rode to the Duke's Mansion, the door of the Duke's Mansion was quiet.

Since they didn't know when they would be back, they sent a message to let them not wait.

When the guards at the door saw them coming back, they hurried over and helped them dismount from their horses. One of them ran in shouting, "The Second Young Master and the Second Young Mistress are back!"

Xiao Tuo held Jiang Yuanyi's hand and walked into the mansion. They heard a flurry of footsteps. Xiaoqing and Zhuyi came running with a group of maids. Xiaoqing, in particular, almost cried when she saw Jiang Yuanyi.

Jiang Yuanyi held Xiaoqing in his arms and wiped her tears with amusement: "You're so grown up."

The maids around them all laughed. Xiaoqing felt embarrassed. She wiped her face and looked at Jiang Yuanyi: "Miss, you have been running around outside for so many days, how come you are still so beautiful."

Jiang Yuanyi smiled and said, "You are so smooth-talking." Lian

Fei glanced from a distance. Although his young master was smiling, Lian Fei had followed him since he was a child and knew that Xiao Tuo was in a bad mood. He immediately stopped and stood three steps away, not daring to move.

The young master still saw him, and when he saw him hiding away, he became upset again and looked at him sideways: "Come here."

Lian Fei started to cry in his heart, and walked over with a smile on his face: "Young master, I miss you so much."

Xiao Tuo punched him in the chest and sneered: "You are a liar."

Lian Fei laughed "hehe".

A bunch of people made a fuss for a while, and Xiao Tuo and Jiang Yuanyi went to the front hall to pay their respects to their parents.

Xiao Kangyuan and Xiao Shi were most concerned about the baby in Xiao Tingyi's belly. After exchanging a few words with the two, they asked about it. Jiang Yuanyi answered obediently: "Don't worry, mother, my sister and the child are fine." When

the two learned that Xiao Tingyi was pregnant, they were very happy in their hearts. They planned to go to Pingzhishan to celebrate the New Year as a family.

Xiao Tuo and Jiang Yuanyi chatted with their parents in the front hall for a long time before returning to their room.

Xiao Kangyuan looked at their backs: "Did they have a quarrel?"

Xiao Shi: "You just noticed it?"

Xiao Kangyuan saw Xiao Tuo so upset for the first time, and he was happy in his heart, stroking his beard: "Finally someone can deal with him."

Every time Xiao Tuo got into trouble, no matter how angry Xiao Kangyuan was, he looked like he didn't care. Things change... Finally someone made him angry.

Xiao Shi looked at Xiao Kangyuan helplessly, smiled and shook his head.

Mrs. Xiao paused and looked at Xiao Kangyuan: "What do you think of the letter sent back by Ting'er?"

Xiao Kangyuan stood up, his eyelids drooping a little. He looked at the treetops swaying in the wind outside the courtyard, and his voice was slightly deep: "I definitely won't be bothered."

Mrs. Xiao smiled: "I know it."

Xiao Kangyuan looked at her: "Don't you think so too?"

The sky was cloudless and clear blue.

Xiao Kangyuan and Mrs. Xiao looked at each other and smiled.

Jiang Yuanyi returned to her room, took a quick shower, and changed into clean clothes. Xiaoqing gently wiped her hair with a handkerchief, and said in a chattering voice: "Miss, have you encountered any interesting things during your days away?"

Zhuyi and Yunshang were massaging her. Jiang Yuanyi leaned lazily, closed her eyes and thought for a while, and picked out a few interesting things to tell her.

The three of them almost stood up with their ears.

Xiaoqing heard about the encounter with pirates on the boat, and squatted beside Jiang Yuanyi: "Miss, are you okay?"

Zhuyi and Yunshang also looked over worriedly. After all, they were in a secluded house and had never encountered such a thing. They only heard a few jokes from storytellers when they occasionally went out.

Jiang Yuanyi smiled and said: "With your second young master, how could it be..."

Looking at the slender shadow reflected at the door, she couldn't help but prolong the end of her voice. When she lowered her eyes, she saw a pair of black boots. Xiao Tuo finished bathing in the side room and changed into a jade-white silk gown with calamus pattern. It was the first time Jiang Yuanyi saw him wearing white clothes, and she couldn't help but be dazed. The

pure white color made his natural casualness less casual. The young and handsome man stood tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, making people unable to take their eyes off him. Xiaoqing leaned close to Jiang Yuanyi's ear: "Auntie is so handsome today..."

Zhuyi and Yunshang pulled Xiaoqing, who was outspoken and disrespectful, away.

"Why did you pull me away?"

The three of them went outside, and Xiaoqing whispered in confusion.

"Don't you see that the second young master and the second young mistress are a little bit abnormal today?" Zhuyi said.

Xiaoqing: “Ah?”

“…” Zhuyi pushed her into the door: “Forget it.”

Xiaotuo walked to Jiang Yuanyi, picked up the handkerchief that Xiaoqing dropped, stood behind her, and silently wiped her hair.

Jiang Yuanyi’s heart softened and felt sweet.

No, she is just one step away from victory.

Hold back.

She pursed her lips and suppressed the smile that was coming up.

Xiaotuo lowered his eyes to look at her and saw that her expression was still indifferent, neither happy nor sad.

Xiaotuo was almost driven crazy by the torture.
