“Look, they’re still carrying slings.” Shen Yijia kicked one of them. “It’s obvious that this thing is used to climb the city wall. I guess they must be trying to sneak into Nanling Pass at night to do something bad. Fortunately, I bumped into them. I’ll bring one back later and let Xiao Qirui interrogate him. It’ll be troublesome to bring the others back, so I’ll kill them.”
Song Jinghuan thought to himself, “Although Sister-in-law’s analysis makes sense, that sling might also be used to leave Nanling Pass.”
The nine men in black raised their heads with difficulty and shook their heads at Song Jinghuan.
Noticing their reaction, Shen Yijia was stunned. She looked at the clothes on the nine of them and then at Song Jinghuan’s clothes. She smiled dryly and said, “What a coincidence. The style of their clothes is exactly the same as yours. ”
Song Jinghuan said, “Of course. We bought them from the same shop.”
Song Jingchen walked forward and held Shen Yijia’s hand. “It’s not safe here.
Let’s go back first.”
“Hubby is right.” Shen Yijia felt guilty and didn’t dare to look at Song Jinghuan. She pulled Song Jingchen away.
She still wanted to show off in front of Sister Huan.
“Sister-in-law is indeed the most powerful,” Song Jinghuan called out to her softly, his eyes still filled with admiration.
Shen Yijia paused and could not help but smile. “Of course. Otherwise, how could I be your sister-in-law?”
Song Jinghuan pursed his lips and chuckled.
Tang Shun and the others now knew the relationship between this inexplicable woman and their little general. Thinking of how she had hit them earlier, they finally understood why the little general was so ferocious at such a young age, but…
“Although you’re catching up, can you let us go first? Our waists are about to break.” they thought.
Of course, Song Jinghuan didn’t forget her companions. She ran over and untied them. They were tied up quite firmly.
The group rode back to Nanling Pass.
Because Xiao Qirui was injured, Song Jingchen didn’t let him go with him, so he waited on the city tower with Xiao Li.
Hearing the sound of hooves outside the city, he quickly got someone to open the city gate.
When Song Jingchen and the others first entered the military camp, they revealed their tokens. Meng Wu received the news not long after.
However, by the time he went over, Song Jingchen had already left the city with Shen Yijia. Xiao Qirui left the military camp with him.
Meng Wu did not know where they had gone, so he could only wait at the entrance of the military camp.
Seeing that he had returned, he quickly led his subordinates forward and bowed. “Greetings, Bulwark Duke.”
Song Jingchen glanced at him. “General Meng, it’s been hard on you guarding the city.”
Although he said that, only he knew how much sincerity he had.
He had never interacted with Meng Wu before, so his impression of him came from his grandfather.
His grandfather had once said that this person’s ability could not support his thoughts.
This was both a good thing and a bad thing.
It was fine during peacetime. Because he was not capable enough, he could not
do anything too out of line.
On the other hand, once war broke out, not only would he not be able to protect Great Xia, but Great Xia might also fall into eternal damnation because of his ulterior motives.
This was also the reason why he had suggested that Ah Han send someone to Nanling Pass in advance.
Meng Wu did not know what he was thinking. He was flattered and cupped his hands. “I’m ashamed.”
He did not expect the young man he had just thought of to come to Nanling Pass.
Thinking of something, he looked up and glanced at Song Huan, who was standing obediently at the back of the crowd.
Previously, he hadn’t heard that Song Huan had gone out with him, so it meant that the duke entered the military camp travel-worn and left the city to look for this kid without even warming up his seat.
Who would believe that the two of them were not related?
Fortunately, he didn’t do anything to this kid.
Unlike Meng Wu, who was rejoicing in his heart, Sun Hao and the others were already surprised enough to see Xiao Qirui personally instructing someone to open the city gate and let them in. When they heard the words “Bulwark Duke” , their legs went weak and they almost knelt down.
If this man was the Duke, wouldn’t the person who hit them be the Duchess? Then their little lieutenant was… the Young Master of the Duke’s residence?
The nine of them widened their eyes and looked at Song Jinghuan.
Song Jinghuan rubbed his nose. She had forgotten to remind them in advance.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Meng Wu, Song Jingchen said, “It’s getting late. It’s not too late to talk tomorrow. General Meng, go and rest.” Meng Wu tactfully left with his men.
Apart from the patrolling soldiers, only Sun Hao and the others were left standing there. However, Song Jingchen didn’t let them leave, so they didn’t dare to leave. They could only follow them obediently to Xiao Qirui’s tent..
