Chapter 135 Ambush First

The people from the third room sent people to contact her several times, but she didn't dare go back to her parents' home for fear of any accidents that might get her into trouble.

If we lose the support of the Duke's Mansion at that time, it would be a loss.

So, in the past two days she started acting in front of her husband again.

Her handkerchief was wet with tears and her eyes were swollen like peaches.

"Husband, what should I do? My fourth sister from my mother's family has threatened to commit suicide several times. If I continue to push her like this, I'm afraid she will die. But I promised my father-in-law that I would try my best. If it doesn't work, what should I do?"

Jia Weiyou is also in a dilemma now.

If they can't find a suitable candidate, do they really have to send my sister to Prince Min's Palace?

Therefore, no reply.

Shang Liuniang cried while paying close attention to her husband's expression.

Seeing that her husband didn't reply, she cried even harder.

Jia Weiyou felt sorry for his sister, but he also felt sorry for his wife, so he came forward and comforted her.

"It's an uncertain matter in the first place. Since Fourth Sister is determined not to do it, we can't really force her. If we cause a death, wouldn't that make us enemies with the Duke's Mansion?"

"Forget it. I will look for suitable candidates among my cousins ​​in the next few days. If they can replace my sister to enter the Prince Min's Palace, we are willing to pay any price."

Hearing this, Shang Liuniang pretended to wipe her tears and said very apologetically.

"It's all my fault for putting my husband in a difficult position."

She was most charming when she showed weakness. Jia Weiyou had been fed up with this kind of behavior over the years, so he hurried to comfort her.

"How can it be your fault? Don't think too much."

Shang Liuniang took the opportunity to lean over and snuggled in Jia Weiyou's arms, feeling guilty again, which made Jia Weiyou feel even more distressed.

The wind and snow outside were getting stronger and stronger.

The roads are slippery in snowy weather. If all the carriage paths were not cleaned every day, they would have been covered in snow long ago.

While the Jia family was still anxiously looking for a replacement, Luo Yuan and Zheng Deli, one of the twelve deputy generals of the Huben Army, had already led their men to ambush in advance.

Duke Shang Yukuan had only one way to return home after court.

Those who are close to the imperial city do not dare to take action.

They didn't dare to take action when they got close to the Duke's Mansion.

The only place where the action is most likely to take place is on Pingle Street, which is located in the middle of the street.

This is a bustling market with huge crowds of people on weekdays, and tomorrow is the time to go to the market to buy New Year's goods, so there are all kinds of stalls serving as cover.

Therefore, it is easier to escape after taking action.

So Luo Yuan was ordered to come here to guard, and he also "tricked" his good brother here.

"Bah, you are not kind at all. It was clearly arranged by the general, but you insisted on dragging me into it. It's so annoying to follow you here in the heavy snow."

Zheng Deli, a man with a sharp knife and a sharp tongue.

He lived up to his name at all as he started scolding Luo Yuan without leaving any room for him to maneuver.

If these words were said to someone else, they would probably be extremely upset.

But the other party was Luo Yuan, a thick-skinned man who didn't care and just retorted back.

"You are the only one who is dithering and talking too much. Although the general gave me the order, he also told me to mobilize the personnel on my own. What? Are you not convinced? How about we wait until we are done and confront the general?"

Zheng Deli was not afraid at all. His stubbled face showed that he had a bad temper, and he spoke viciously to Luo Yuan.

"Let's confront each other, who's afraid of who? If you hadn't used such a dirty trick, I wouldn't have been defeated by you. I'd have let you get the chance to be a close follower to the general in vain. Humph, now you know how to make things difficult for me!"

Hearing this, Luo Yuan chuckled.

"You misunderstood me, didn't you? I asked the general seriously why he chose me as his personal attendant. Guess what he said?"

Zheng Deli was just complaining, but he didn't expect that Luo Yuan would actually ask. So he came over curiously and asked anxiously.

"Come on, don't take off your pants and just fart."

"The general said that I don't look scary, so it's better for me to follow him."

"What is that?"

This obviously irritated Zheng Deli, a big and strong man. He thought that having a beard was scary. His eyes suddenly turned red, as if he wanted to eat someone.

He was a famous figure on the battlefield. The enemy was most afraid of his broadsword. He killed people as if he were chopping melons and vegetables, with a ruthless attitude and a disregard for life. Therefore, he was called "Big Knife Yama".

Seeing his expression change so quickly, Luo Yuan immediately took a few steps back and said with a grin.

"Deputy General Zheng, don't be angry, don't be angry, let's get down to business first!"

"If you provoke someone, just run away. I'm only doing this for the general's sake, otherwise I'd peel off your skin!"

Then he snorted coldly and gave orders to his elite soldiers.

"Ambush according to the location on the map, and take down anyone who attacks if you find them."

"yes."

"Remember to leave some alive!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Luo Yuan added, it’s enough to just keep your life, it doesn’t matter if you lose your hands and feet.

The two of them stood on a high place and looked down at the people below who were strolling around with great interest, and everyone's face was filled with excitement about the New Year.

It’s a pity that such a good mood will be completely ruined by the "assassination plan" tomorrow.

As night falls, the stars move.

The next day, Du Jingyi woke up early in the morning.

Maybe I couldn't sleep well because I was worried about something.

She couldn't sleep, so Shang Ji naturally got up to accompany her.

He first handed her a cup of warm water on the table to moisten her throat, and then asked softly.

"Are you going to get up?"

"Well, my bones are aching from lying down these days, so I'd better get up and move around."

Shang Ji held her waist and slowly pulled Du Jingyi up.

Du Jingyi has said it many times that she is no different now than before, but he just won't listen.

In the past, Du Jingyi thought that her brother-in-law He Shilin was making a fuss over nothing, but now it seems that her husband is also worthy of the title.

So, after saying it a few times and finding it useless, I stopped mentioning it.

Anyway, he rarely stays at home, so we should cherish the time we have to eat and sleep together.

There was some noise in their inner room, and Cherry, who was on guard outside, heard it.

After quickly waking up, he walked in and said something respectfully.

"Good morning, General, good morning, Madam."

This time I'm not being polite, it's really early.

"What time is it?"

"Replying to Madam, it is exactly 12:00 am."

Du Jingyi smiled faintly, and then said to Shang Ji.

"This is probably the earliest time I've woken up recently."

Shang Ji naturally knew why she got up early, but he just didn't say it out loud.

But seeing that she was in good spirits, I didn't interfere.

"Please fetch some water and ask the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the young lady."

"Yes, General."
