Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 365: Why Is It Him? Hurry Back to the Capital!
"Haha, Little Yue’er, we’ve succeeded, this group of mountain bandits has been eradicated by us!"
Cao Xiao laughed heartlessly over there, but Long Yue furrowed her eyebrows tightly; things went too smoothly, so smoothly it felt surreal.
Does this mean that danger is lurking behind victory?
This isn’t Long Yue being neurotic, it’s just too strange.
Could it be that their plans were truly flawless?
"Little Yue’er, why do you look so unhappy?"
Cao Xiao was straightforward, thinking that a victory is a victory and there’s no need to overthink. That’s why he couldn’t understand Long Yue’s worried expression.
"No prisoners, it’s hard to explain later." Long Yue sighed, "A Xiao, take some men to search and see if you find anything."
"Alright!"
After the victory, it was time to clean the battlefield. Cao Xiao took a thousand men to search everywhere, while Long Yue was responsible for cleanup.
"Little Yue’er, there’s a lot of armor, weapons, and also maps of terrain here, and there are even layout diagrams of the Imperial Palace!"
After a short while, Cao Xiao returned to report his findings.
Long Yue followed him to take a look, and sure enough, she saw layers of boxes filled with all kinds of armor on the ground, exquisitely crafted, even better than those used by the military!
"This batch is even better than those from last time... it’s similar in style, though."
Long Yue was truly surprised.
It turns out that Heifeng Village was making armor and weapons for these people last time, using mountain bandits to help; now that the bandits are gone, they disguise themselves as bandits and carry on the work.
It was really eye-opening, the skill of replacing beams with poles was truly impressive!
And this time the spoils of war must be handed over to the Emperor, it would justify the Tiger Talisman he generously bestowed upon their couple to command the three armies.
"Let’s go back!"
Snow was falling from the sky, getting heavier, making Long Yue feel cold, just wanting to hurry back to the tent to warm up.
After descending the mountain, Long Yue saw Li Qingmu already leaning against the doorframe waiting for her.
"Why aren’t you inside? It’s so cold outside, don’t you care for your life?"
Long Yue looked at him, her big eyes turning with a hint of anger.
Li Qingmu awkwardly replied, "It’s stuffy inside, just wanted to come out for a breath of fresh air. Staying inside too long is suffocating."
Long Yue knew his words were out of concern for her, feeling comforted inside.
"We’ve succeeded, everyone on the mountain... is dead..."
"If they’re dead, so be it, as long as you’re alright."
"But I still feel there’s something wrong, I’m a bit uneasy, A Mu, how about you?"
While speaking, Long Yue glanced at the man beside her, seeing his brows furrowed too, arms crossed with a serious expression: "I also feel uneasy, as if something is missing but can’t pinpoint it."
The couple found it strange, what’s going on?
"Forget it, don’t think about these things for now, let’s rest and return tomorrow."
They’ve been out for over a month, the return would still take some time, probably reaching Capital City close to year’s end.
Li Qingmu looked up at the fluttering snowflakes outside, this year... should be able to spend a good New Year with Yue’er!
The next morning, Long Yue and Li Qingmu set out on their return, followed by wagonloads packed with armor and weapons, an imposing sight.
"On this return trip, how many military merits can we claim?"
Cao Xiao stared at the heaps of goods behind them, eyes gleaming green, it’s all military merit!
Long Yue couldn’t help but shake her head at his excited and eager appearance; her brother-in-law had a simple mind, straightforward, though such may lead to losses, at least he can live happily.
"Going back, finally I can see my Le’er!"
Cao Xiao cheered heartlessly with joy, while Long Yue inside the carriage remained worried.
Huanhuan handed over a cup of warm tea, but Long Yue, not in the mood to savor the tea, drank it absentmindedly.
The troop moved slowly, the further north they went, the heavier the snow fell, making passage difficult.
"Yah, yah, yah!"
Suddenly, a rush of hoofbeats came from behind, the chaotic sound suggested urgency?
"Secret agents from Yulong Pavilion are here, move aside, move aside, move aside!"
A commanding voice came from the horse behind, the leading person holding a golden seal and shouting loudly.
Seeing a military troop ahead, the secret agents from Yulong Pavilion brazenly revealed themselves, furthermore, Yulong Pavilion being the Emperor’s direct intelligence agency, not just ordinary troops but even battle-hardened armies must clear the way for them.
Thus, the military immediately made way through the middle, and Long Yue’s carriage promptly pulled over.
Li Qingmu, following Long Yue’s instructions, held a hot water bag while nodding off, Long Yue, curious, lifted the carriage curtain to look out.
There were four horses, three people dressed in Yulong Pavilion’s specially made black brocade robes, one in front, two behind, escorting a man draped in a Big Hat who was galloping forward.
Despite the heavily falling snow obscuring her view, Long Yue still caught sight of the familiar face of the man in the Big Hat.
This face was so familiar she nearly forgot!
"Qian Yi?"
Long Yue felt as if struck by lightning, her face turned pale instantly!
It’s Qian Yi?
Or does he just resemble him, and she was mistaken?
Instinctively, Long Yue quickly turned to tug at the man beside her: "A Mu, wake up, quick, look at that person, who is it?"
Li Qingmu wasn’t deeply asleep, and being just a nap, he woke up immediately when called, hearing Long Yue’s question, he immediately ran to the front, lifted the curtain, and leaned out.
"Yah!"
A fast horse dashed past him, Li Qingmu’s eyes widened in disbelief!
The person riding on the horse, if not Qian Yi, then who else?
His memory was always sharp, Qian Yi had wanted to kill him once, causing him to fall off a cliff, teetering on the brink of death, and subsequently suffering pain and illness, such hatred could never be forgotten!
Although he now appeared vastly different in demeanor from the roguish hooligan of the past, Li Qingmu would recognize him even if he were turned to ashes!
That person is not dead?
At the time, he and Long Yue had plotted together, intending to kill their enemy using outsiders, yet this person isn’t dead?
Unbelievable, who saved him?
Various thoughts raced through Li Qingmu’s mind, then his eyes fell upon the three secret agents from Yulong Pavilion.
Judging by their behavior, they’re protecting Qian Yi, what merits does this person have to warrant such protection?
Suddenly, a thought struck his mind, his expression changed drastically!
"A Mu, is it him?"
Long Yue’s urgent voice came from behind as she stepped forward to hold his hand tightly.
Li Qingmu slowly turned, nodded woodenly.
Long Yue saw his dreadful expression and couldn’t help worrying: "A Mu, are you... are you alright?"
"Yue’er, trouble seems to be brewing." Li Qingmu gradually recovered from the shock, looked gravely at the person in front, "Do you know why we were uneasy earlier?"
"Because of him?"
"Yes! If my predictions are correct... no, we must hurry back to the capital!"
Qian Yi being escorted by secret agents from Yulong Pavilion signifies what? Indicates that his current identity is particularly significant, besides this, Li Qingmu couldn’t think of any other reasons!
Yet he’s just a simple farm boy, how could he?
Upon thinking this way, a terrifying conclusion emerged!
Quick, quick, we must hurry back to stop all this!
