Xiao Yubai walked out and looked at the woman lying on the ground and Ying San standing beside her. Before he could speak, the woman on the ground said, "Master, this woman admits that she came to steal the secret document. Kill her quickly."
She now deeply regrets it. If she had known this woman possessed martial arts skills, she should have seized the opportunity to kill her with a single blow. Now, she only hopes that her master is merely putting on an act with this woman. She heard Ying say that her master had brought back a lady as soon as she returned, and she hurriedly came to check.
As soon as she entered the tent, she heard this woman's words. She actually ordered her master to wash her clothes, and the way she acted as if it were her right made her very jealous. Her master was hers, and she would not allow anyone else to touch him.
"What? You're reluctant to do it yourself and want me to do it myself?" An Shuyi said with dissatisfaction.
The next second, a sword pierced Shadow Three's chest, and then, looking incredulous, he knelt on the ground.
Xiao Yubai walked to her side. "How could I disobey Madam's orders? I was just interrupted. Since Madam is feeding their corpses to the wolves, how about I send someone to find the wolves and bring them back?"
He was willing to give his life for the lady's favor, so how could he be reluctant to lose two subordinates? Moreover, subordinates who dare to contradict the mistress should not live.
"Master, you actually killed us for this woman of unknown origin. Aren't you afraid that we won't listen to you anymore?" Shadow Three said, clutching his chest.
“Your origins are unknown. Yingyi should have told you that I brought my wife to the border, but you, as my subordinates, not only disrespected my mistress but also attacked her with your swords. You deserve to die.”
After Xiao Yubai finished speaking, he looked at the soldiers around him, "If there are any soldiers who disobey the general, they may leave. I don't necessarily need to be this general. As for you, those who dare to disrespect the mistress will die."
Ying Liu looked at his master and then felt afraid. "Master, I was wrong. I was disrespectful to the mistress, but she, as a woman, actually asked you to wash her dress. You are the great general of Yichen Kingdom. How could you do such a thing?"
"It is my honor to wash your clothes, Madam!" Xiao Yubai turned his head. "Madam, what did this guard do to make you so angry?"
An Shuyi lifted her skirt and said, "I was reading a storybook in the tent when this crazy woman came in and whipped me. The storybook was smashed, and my skirt was also badly damaged."
“This dress was designed for me by Hua Hua. She deserves to die. You tell me honestly, how many other lunatics like her are there? Someone cursed me yesterday, and today she dared to whip me. If I didn’t have some skills, I would have been dead long ago.”
The thought of it made her furious. Why were so many women causing trouble? "Let me tell you, if another lunatic like that comes along, I'll kill you right now." It was just ruining her mood.
Seeing that she was getting angrier and angrier, Xiao Yubai hurriedly coaxed her, "Madam, don't be angry. It's all my fault. I'll buy you a box of storybooks and dozens of dresses another day. You go back to your tent to rest, and I'll take care of things here."
"Hurry up." He then returned to his tent.
After watching her go inside, Xiao Yubai turned to the two guards and ordered, "Shadow One, throw them to the wolves. If you can't handle this, then don't bother coming back."
"Yes, Master." Yingyi carried the two away.
"And you, allowing the guards to break into the tent and watching the lady being harmed, all of you, go and receive twenty strokes of the military rod. If you are dissatisfied with my decision, you may leave." It would be better if he left sooner so he could go and seek refuge with the lady.
The soldiers knelt on one knee, accepting their punishment. Although they were being punished, they were happy because the bodyguard was dead. This woman, relying on being the general's bodyguard, frequently entered and exited the camp, causing them to be punished often.
With this woman dead, no one will dare to break into the camp anymore, and they won't be punished. Just thinking about it makes me happy.
After giving his instructions, Xiao Yubai returned to his tent to discuss matters with the other deputy generals. Only after the matters were settled did he get up and return to his tent.
"Wait, General!" Strategist Liu hurriedly stopped them, glared at the others, and asked, "Sir, when did you get married? How come we didn't know?"
"Although we subordinates shouldn't ask about your marriage, sir, we should at least know the identity of this lady so we can report it when the Emperor asks." The others nodded in agreement.
They had served in the army with the general and were sworn brothers. Now that they saw he had a wife, they were naturally happy for him. But they were afraid that this lady was indeed sent by another country, just as the secret guards had said.
Besides bewitching the general, it can also steal secret documents, so this matter can be either a big deal or a small one.
Xiao Yubai glanced at them before saying, "Don't worry, I know my wife's background very well. She couldn't possibly be sent by another country. I haven't married her yet, but I will in the future."
"You're calling someone 'madam' before you're even married. Don't ruin her reputation. You're really useless, doing all the laundry and cooking. You're really trying too hard," said Right Vice General Yang Quan with a look of disdain.
“How much better can you be than me? Now that you’re married with a wife and children, you’ve forgotten everything from before. Who was it that climbed over the wall in the middle of the night to deliver flowers to that girl? Who was it that fell into the river while trying to pick up a handkerchief? You’re even less capable than me,” Xiao Yubai retorted directly.
"And you are the same. Washing clothes and cooking are nothing. You've done just as much. There are also those who fetch water for washing feet, those who wash feet, and those who make purses. No one is more noble than anyone else."
Now you still want to criticize him? Don't you even know who you are?
Upon hearing this, the others felt embarrassed to say anything more, so the strategist Liu Shi could only say, "Alright, I know you're in a hurry, hurry back." He had only been gone for a short time, but his tongue had already become sharp.
Seeing that they were no longer talking, Xiao Yubai swaggered back to his tent. As soon as he entered, he saw his wife lying on the bed reading a storybook. He hurriedly went over and said, "Madam, I just finished taking care of the rest of the things."
He didn't have much to deal with, but before he could say more than a few words, a soldier came to report that the guards and the lady were fighting. He rushed out and, seeing that the lady was not at fault, watched from the side.
He realized that the lady had been holding back earlier; otherwise, with the moves she used to kill An Liu today, he might not have fared well against her. It wasn't noticeable when she was using the broadsword, but when she used the dagger, she seemed to have become a completely different person.
An Shuyi put down the storybook and continued to lie lazily on the bed. "Go do the laundry as soon as you get back. Do I have to tell you?" This is really annoying.
She hates trouble the most. This man always manages to cause some kind of trouble. Sure enough, a man shouldn't be too good-looking. Most importantly, he shouldn't be too friendly to women, acting like a little sun, warming each other.
"I'll go right away, madam, would you like to come along?" she said, hoisting her bundle onto her shoulder and taking two buckets and a basin.
"Let's go together, we can wash those dishes." So many dirty dishes in the warehouse are such an eyesore.
