Chapter 38: Climbing the Wall

But he was helpless. His general had already turned over, so he couldn't just stand there and do nothing. So he turned over as well.

The room was quiet, and it was obvious that everyone who needed to go to bed had fallen asleep.

Seeing that his generals were slowing down their pace, Luo Yuan naturally followed suit.

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

Luo Yuan thought about what happened last night and frowned slightly.

But there are some things he can't just say casually.

So he straightened his mind, stood in the yard with his back to the door of the main house, and concentrated on his job as a "gatekeeper".

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

She really spared no effort in locking the doors one by one.

If it were in the past, he wouldn't care and would just break in. Nothing in the world could stand in his way.

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

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

The one on night watch today is Cherry.

She was a light sleeper, so she heard every noise outside.

He woke up immediately and asked.

"who?"

"It's me."

Shang Ji's voice was deep and magnetic, carrying some unquestionable intimidation.

So Cherry reacted immediately and went forward to pull the bolt.

After opening the door gently, he looked confused.

"Why is the general back?"

Then he looked up at the sky and it was almost midnight.

Shang Ji didn't answer her, but walked sideways into the room.

After walking through the hall and around the Suzhou embroidery screen, he soon saw Du Jingyi sleeping soundly.

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

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

Seeing this, Cherry didn't dare to go forward and tiptoed out the door.

I was still thinking about whether I should bring some hot water for the general to wash up, when I saw Luo Yuan standing in the yard under the moonlight.

His expression was as resolute and cold as ever. He snorted, turned around and left the corridor to the ear room.

Luo Yuan was also confused. Not only did he have to climb over the wall in the middle of the night, but he was also given a cold shoulder by a little girl.

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

Come to think of it, he doesn't have much in common with this little girl.

Why are they always at odds? Could it be that I look a bit like my unkind husband?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but hum a low laugh.

As a result, before the smile could last long, there was movement at the door again.

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

Hearing some noise, Cherry came out from the ear room and said to Shang Ji.

"General, the hot water is ready. I will help you wash up."

She thought that since Shang Ji came back late at night, he would naturally need to rest, so she made sufficient preparations.

Unfortunately, Shang Ji also turned his head to take a look and then explained.

"No need, I just came back to see you. Use this medicine on Madam's wound, it will heal faster."

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

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

"Yes, I understand."

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

Seeing the wall that was more than ten feet high being collapsed in an instant, Cherry suddenly felt that the wall seemed to be unable to block anything.

So he let out a short sigh and looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand, a little dazed.

Come in a hurry and leave quickly.

The servant at the gate had just fallen asleep when he was woken up again.

This time, before he could even say anything, he saw Shang Ji and Luo Yuan mounted their horses and galloped away with their personal guards.

It was so fast that he couldn't help rubbing his eyes, patting his cheeks, and saying something in a dreamy way.

"Is it possible that I am wandering at night?"

Unfortunately, the only answer he got was the endless night and the occasional sound of wind and grass in the silence.

After hurrying all the way, when they were almost reaching Chouzheng, Shang Ji and his party turned back to the camp.

The soldiers who were on guard were the same group of soldiers who had just been there. When they saw their general leading his troops back, they couldn't help but sigh.

"General, this is really fast. I wonder if the matter has been settled?"

"You are talking nonsense, aren't you? Is there anything our general can't accomplish?"

“That’s right.”

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

"Okay, continue guarding. It will be dawn in another hour."

"Um."

After a conversation, the camp fell into silence again.

After returning to the big tent, Shang Ji felt a lot more relaxed.

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

When I closed my eyes, my mind was filled with the soft satin quilt in Xitang Courtyard.

Then, he fell into a deep sleep.

I woke up and it was already dawn.

The horn was blown early in the camp.

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

Soon, they all gathered at the training ground, ready for training.

Shang Ji's face was stern, his eyes full of determination and fortitude.

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

Each one of them is full of energy and passion.

They had all just returned from Cezhou, but the two or three months of marching on the road could be considered a rest.

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

"From today on, the Tiger Guards will continue their training as usual. There must be no slackness. Do you understand?"

"Yes, General!"

The voices were loud and high-pitched, with uniform movement from top to bottom.

Hearing such a voice, even Luo Yuan who was standing next to him began to get excited.

Soon after, the entire training ground was filled with various figures of soldiers training.

Agile, sensitive, and with strong impact.

Whether it is long-range shooting or close-range bare-chested fighting, he is not afraid of anything.

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

Such soldiers are the solid foundation of the Daxing Dynasty.

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

Also flashing through his mind were the memories of training and fighting in the Gu family military camp.

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

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

In an instant, the corners of his mouth that had just risen dropped again, and his whole body was filled with the gradually cooling feeling of autumn.

Outside the city, the mighty roar of the Tiger Guards resounded through the sky.

In Sui'an city, people began to set up stalls and do business.

At noon, there were movements in the courtyards of the Duke's Mansion.

Some people get up late, and naturally some people get up early.
