Chapter 16: Night Attack, Another Side

The surroundings were silent, and the silence was terrifying.

The stars were dim in the night sky, and the moon was bright.

After she was on guard for a moment, a cloud happened to drift by, obscuring the moon, and the moonlight became obscure. She couldn't help but relax a little, thinking that the thief probably had fled to other places, and the moment she took the stance, a sudden burst of Ling Ran's momentum hit behind her.

Du Mi took two steps back when she turned around, and when she re-positioned her hands to block, the person who came was too fierce and moved too fast, and in the blink of an eye, the long sword blade in her hand was already in front of her eyes.

A gust of wind from the sword blew off the windshield on her head.

A black hair then fell, spilling over his shoulders.

The dark clouds that covered the moon drifted, and the moonlight became clear again, illuminating the appearance of the person in front of him.

In the moonlight, her eyes were clear, her lips were naturally light pink, and the light under her eyes slowly changed from vigilance to panic as she saw the face of the person who came, and finally her eyes moved to the action of stabbing the person with a dagger in her hand, and her face instantly turned snow-white, fading all the blood.

Du Mi hurriedly withdrew his arm and bowed his head: "Your lord has atoned for his sins!" ”

His knees were trembling even more.

What did she just do!

She actually wanted to stab the eldest prince with a dagger?

Li Mu also put the long sword into the scabbard, and his eyes coldly swept over the people who were shrunk in cloaks on the side, and his voice was colder than the snow-capped mountains that had been covered with snow for thousands of years, "The skills are poor, but the courage is not small." ”

Du Mi swallowed nervously, and replied humbly and respectfully: "The folk woman is just a three-legged cat kung fu, so naturally she can't be compared with your lord." ”

I heard a cold snort as an answer.

It didn't seem to be as angry as she imagined, she was pointing her dagger at him, what a disrespectful act it must be, why could he still talk to himself so calmly?

Du Mi thought so in his heart, and he became a lot bolder.

"I don't know if your lord came to visit late at night, but he was looking for Jiang Hou? He has been living in the barracks for the last few days and has not returned home. The implication is that if you are fine, you can leave quickly, and if you are looking for someone, please go out and turn right to go to the barracks.

It's just that she is a little cowardly, and she doesn't dare to say the truth, for fear of losing her head.

I had to say it around the bush.

Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone became more and more cold, "Are you inquiring about my whereabouts?" ”

The hat was buttoned too big, Du Mi blurted out to deny it without thinking about it, because the words were in a hurry, and her actions couldn't help but be a little offended, she raised her head and looked at Li Mu in front of her, and excitedly defended: "The people have no such intention!" I'm just worried that your lord is wasting time in such a trivial matter, and there is no intention to inquire about it, please see it! ”

She moved a little louder when she spoke.

The cloak she wore on her shoulders when she went out was also a knot tied casually, loose enough to hang the cloak, but the knot had loosened after a few fights just now, and she moved again, the knot loosened, and the cloak draped over her shoulders suddenly slipped off with her movements.

Revealing the inner body, the clothes.

Below, the body is white and the skirt is naked, which is still conservative.

The small coat on the upper body is thin, and the goose-yellow bandeau under the small coat can be seen through the moonlight.

Li Mu's gaze that fell on her naturally understood her clothes, and suddenly looked away, the cold on his face became thicker and thicker, and he threw out the sentence "It's not a system!" ”。

Du Mi blinked, a little confused, "Huh? ”

When he reacted after half a beat, he looked down at his clothes, the expression on his face was stiff, and when he looked up to explain, there was no one in front of him.

Du Mi picked up the cloak and put it back on, but the corners of his mouth hooked up.

If Jiang Hou heard the words in his mouth, he would definitely want to whip her to death.

"I can't see that your lord is so innocent, and I'm shy when I see a woman's bandeau." Du Mi was in a good mood, and felt as if he had spied on the unknown side of the high-ranking prince.

Except for the first meeting, she made him angry because of the accident, but he didn't kill him, and after the next two contacts, he didn't seem to be as 'cold-blooded and brutal' as his brother-in-law said.

Seem......

This noble lord is not such a bad person.

Du Mi chuckled, tied his cloak, picked up the lantern that fell on the ground, and went back to the small courtyard.

She went to look at Shen Changfeng, and saw that he slept peacefully, and her heart fell, and when she went back, she fell asleep very quickly, and she didn't wake up until the next day, when Chunhua called her, and after hurriedly freshening up, she was ready to leave to go back to Shen's mansion.

Changsheng served Shen Changfeng early and got into the carriage.

This time, they drove lightly, and the two of them took two small servants, and they could set off after Du Mi packed up.

It's just that when she got into the car, Yu Guangchu suddenly saw a familiar figure outside the door of Jiang's mansion.

"Shen Changfeng, I seem to have left something in the house, just come when I go, you wait for me in the car."

Shen Changfeng smiled weakly, "Madam doesn't have to be in a hurry. ”

After Du Mi smiled gratefully at him, he jumped out of the carriage, didn't even bring Chunhua, and turned back to Jiang's Mansion alone.

As soon as I entered the gate of Jiang's mansion, I saw Cai Qing standing in the corner behind the door, he was dressed in military uniform, and there was loess sand on his body, obviously rushing back from the barracks.

Du Mi returned to the door in a hurry this time, and because of Jiang Hou's interruption, she didn't even have time to say a few words to Cai Qing, at this time she saw Cai Qing waiting for her here, her heart was happy and anxious, and her face was also full of smiles, "Cai Qing!" Why are you here? Did you come to give it to me for my brother-in-law? ”

Yan Qing's face was gentle, his eyes were even more kind, and he bowed slightly, "Yes." ”

"It's better to treat me best, look at my brother-in-law, I finally came back, and I met him in a hurry, and I didn't even eat a meal together." Du Mi got angry when he mentioned Jiang Hou, and kept complaining.

Yao Qing couldn't help laughing, "If Xiao Mi and the deputy general open their mouths and leave him to eat together, how can the deputy general not agree." ”

Du Mi snorted and twisted his head: "Forget it, the twisted melon is not sweet, he is very busy, why should I delay his time." ”

Cuisine: ......

His smile was even more helpless, "You also know that the barracks have been busy recently, and the adjutant general has the intention to come back to see you off, but he was delayed by the matter, so he asked me to come back to see you off." ”

Du Mi sighed and asked tentatively, "Is it still for the barbarian case?" Brother-in-law, did he find out anything? ”

Cai Qing shook her head slowly, "This case is confidential in the army, and it's better that Xiao Mi still doesn't know." ”

I thought that Caiqing would come to see her off today, and she could tell her a little bit of news to teach her peace of mind.

But who knew that Caiqing was also this silent virtue.

But today is the ninth day of the ten-day covenant! If he can't find out who is behind it one day, then, then your lord will really be-" Du Mi said that he was a little anxious here, and only used his hand to make a gesture on his neck, "You teach me how not to worry!" ”

Cai Qing is still silent.

But looking at Du Mi's sincere worry for the deputy general, he was also a little unbearable and a little worried.

Du Mi has done a lot of bad things since she was a child, begging Yanqing to help her cover, and she is even more familiar with Yanqing's expression, knowing that his heart has been a little shaken. She started directly, pulling his sleeve back and forth with her hand, and used the ultimate means of coquettishness, "Yiqing~~~~~~ I'm really worried about my brother-in-law, you just need to tell me if you have a clue, you don't have to tell me the inside story, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well these days!" ”

As she spoke, she pointed to the dark green under her eyes, "Look, I'm worried that my brother-in-law won't sleep well all night." ”

Guiqing lowered his gaze and glanced at the hand that was tugging at his sleeve.

Finally, he sighed helplessly, raised his palm and patted her head, "You, you know that persimmons pick up soft pinch." ”

Du Mi smiled, "Where is it?" ”

Yan Qing glanced left and right, and after saying something in her ear, she straightened up, her expression had already recovered, "Okay, go back to the carriage quickly, don't make Young Master Shen wait for a long time." ”

As soon as Du Mi's heart was relieved, the smile on his face became much sweeter, "Okay." ”

Her good mood was too obvious, and after returning to the car, even Shen Changfeng, who was pretending to be asleep, noticed it, and asked casually, "Why is Madame so happy?" ”

Du Mi smiled at the corner of his mouth, lifted the curtain of the carriage, glanced at the sun outside, and said with a smile: "The weather is good, and the natural mood is good." ”

Actually, no.

It's just that Cai Qing told her that she collaborated with the enemy and betrayed her, and Jiang Houcha already had eyebrows in the case of the country, and he wanted to catch up with the ten-day appointment.

In addition, Cai Qing also told her that if anything else went wrong in the Shen Mansion, she didn't have to worry about anything else, and she could go back to the Jiang Mansion to live immediately. When Yan Qing said this, Jiang Hou asked him to bring it back, Du Mi was naturally happy after hearing it, and his eyebrows danced with joy, and the anger that was snubbed and ridiculed by Jiang Hou in the past two days was instantly cleared.

But the good mood didn't last long.

After returning to Jiang's mansion, Du Mi was scolded by Mrs. Shen for splitting his head and covering his face.

blame her for being a wife, and she didn't fulfill the responsibilities of her wife's room, otherwise she would have been fine when she went out, and she became like this when she went to Jiang's mansion. Du Mi was speechless, this matter was indeed in Jiang's mansion, she could only let Mrs. Shen scold her, anyway, it didn't hurt to be scolded for a few words.

But Mrs. Shen's beloved son was heartfelt, and after scolding, she was still angry, and actually sent her to the Shen family ancestral hall to think about it for a day.

Shen Changfeng was seriously ill, and he went back to Jiang's Mansion to take medicine and rested, and he couldn't intercede for her at all.

Du Mi has been scolded by Jiang Hou since he was a child, and he has never been so atmospheric, and when he was pressed and knelt in the ancestral hall, he couldn't wait to go up and fight with Mrs. Shen to vent his anger.

But Chunhua clasped her wrist and begged in a low voice, "Miss...... No, ...... If the master knows...... The slave and maid are finished......"

Du Mi gritted her teeth and pulled her hand out from under Chunhua's palm.

Chunhua looked desperate, "Miss......"

Mrs. Shen, who was standing and reprimanding Du Mi, saw that she had moved, and also heard that the girl of the Shen family was rumored to be a good fighter, for fear that she would pounce on her and beat herself, so she hurriedly took two steps back, but she still said angrily: "You don't kneel well in front of the ancestral tablet and still want to rebel!" Today, if you have any disrespectful behavior towards the ancestors of the Shen family, I can let Feng'er take a break from your broom star today! ”

Du Mi knelt on the futon, looked up at Mrs. Shen, her eyes were cold, "Mother-"
