I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 433 The real master is coming from the north! The food chain of the Marquis' Mansion!

Champion City.

It has been nearly two months since the army marched out of the border to attack the grasslands in the north.

Although the news of the great victory had already been reported back to the city, as time approached the New Year, the people in the city gradually became anxious.

Every day, people outside the city looked toward the north, eagerly waiting.

It’s a pity that as the days go by, all I get is disappointment and a growing deep expectation.

"It's almost Chinese New Year, why haven't you come back yet?"

Whenever the soldiers guarding the city gates heard the sighs of these people who were willing to brave the biting cold wind from the north, they couldn't help but smile.

"When the army returns south, there must be news coming in advance."

"Now that we haven't received any message, what's the point of you waiting so hard?"

The soldier holding a sword beside him had his eyes wide open, looking a little impatient.

But the people were not afraid. They just exhaled a puff of mist in the cold wind and laughed dryly.

"Don't we want to welcome our heroes back as soon as possible?"

'Our hero'!
When the soldier heard the name from the common people, he felt a pang of jealousy in his heart.

Oh shit!

I only regret that my riding skills are not good enough and I have not been selected into the Tenth Battalion of the Cavalry.

Otherwise, he would definitely have to experience the feeling of being missed every day.

The soldier shook off the heavy black armor on his body and murmured in his heart, but he did not really envy his comrades who went on the Northern Expedition.

After all, they were the main force in the ten-day bloody battle to defend the city!

After the great victory that day, the whole city cheered and was filled with glory.

Those four-legged guys may have envied them at the time.

Now the situation has changed, and it is just the turn of those guys to enjoy the glory for a few days.

Just as the soldier was daydreaming, he suddenly saw several graceful maids walking towards him, swaying their waists like willow branches.

The soldier quickly and quietly kicked his comrades beside him to cheer them up.

Then he put on a serious and upright look and stood there, without looking around.

If these waitresses were not somewhat familiar with him, they would probably be frightened by his appearance and a little scared.

"Is Chief Pan on duty again?"

The woman's voice was so charming and sweet that the soldier called Pan Shichang felt his heart flutter and he hummed seriously.

But a pair of big eyes couldn't help but steal a glance.

Seeing his pretentious look, the sisters behind the waitress who was speaking burst into laughter.

Seeing this, the waitress also smiled and thought that this high-spirited man was somewhat interesting.

But she stopped the sisters behind her from laughing.

"If it weren't for great heroes like Pan Shichang, who fought on the battlefield without hesitation and shed their blood, how could we have the peace we have today!"

"Apologize to Chief Pan soon?"

The waitress who spoke this had always enjoyed prestige among the sisters, and when she said this, the laughter stopped immediately.

Yingying knelt down and apologized to the soldiers.

But this made the soldier feel at a loss, and his tense face turned red.

Fortunately, the maid was in the back house and was very smart. She then smiled sweetly and spoke softly.

"Captain Pan, we sisters have no bad intentions. Please don't blame us, Captain Pan."

The soldier even said no.

He was used to wielding weapons and was tongue-tied, so any more words would be too much of a stretch for him.

At this time, the waitress finally explained her purpose.

"My wife sympathizes with the hard work of the soldiers, and has asked us to bring you some ginseng tea to warm you up and get rid of the cold."

Goalkeeping has always been a hard job.

Especially the north gate, which faces the knife-like cold wind blowing from the north, occasionally mixed with ice chips.

The feeling is self-evident.

Upon hearing this, Pan Shichang and his group were immediately surprised and expressed their gratitude quickly.

"Thank you Madam Yu for your generous gift!"

"Thank you, Madam Yu!"

Just like those people who look north every day.

Madam Yu, who lived deep in the inner palace, had often gone up to the top of the city wall during this period, sometimes staying there for a whole day.

Every time I come, I bring them a cup of ginseng tea.

This thought alone is enough to make them burst into tears of gratitude.

Not to mention that this ginseng tea is made with the precious Liaodong fire ginseng. Just taking a sip can improve your cultivation and consolidate your foundation.

After drinking ginseng tea several times, the rumored "seductive woman" has become a goddess in the eyes of these soldiers. If anyone dares to blaspheme in front of them, they will draw their swords even if it means violating military law.

As several waitresses left after serving the ginseng tea, one of the soldiers sighed and whispered to comfort them, seeing that their foreman was staring blankly at a certain figure as if he had lost his soul.

"Captain, forget it."

"People like us are beyond our reach."

Upon hearing this, Pan Shichang woke up as if from a dream.

Then he hid the desolation in his eyes and said stubbornly.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"What's the point of thinking about whether it's too high or not? I don't have any messy thoughts!"

The maidservants in the prince's mansion, even if they are just slaves, are not worthy of being pursued by others.

Not to mention that he was just a small sergeant.

But he didn't know that his thoughts were not only unknown to his comrades who were dependent on him for life and death, but even the maids had noticed it.

"Sister, are you thinking about this?"

One of the waitresses whispered when she saw the sister next to her smiling.

The head waitress heard this and said calmly.

"Lets see."

Seeing that she didn't deny it, another waitress beside her couldn't help but widen her eyes and exclaimed.

"No way, that guy is only a few feet tall, how can he be worthy of my sister?"

The Lord showed mercy and promised in person that when they reached the age of majority, they could be freed from citizenship, leave the house and marry.

And they knew very well that they had the relationship with the Marquis' Mansion and the friendship of having served the Madam personally.

This unique capital is enough to attract many talented people.

Not to mention marrying a captain, she could even marry into one of the so-called noble families.

However, the head waitress did not make any comment on this.

"How could I not know that you, the Lord, were also a humble soldier in your past?"

The sisters behind him couldn't help but curl their lips when they heard this.

Looking back over the history, how many people like you can appear?
Muttering in their hearts, several women climbed up to the top of the city wall.

Looking at the ethereal and cold figure holding the jade rabbit, he almost instinctively sighed in his heart.

'Isn't it the same for women like you?'

Perhaps when men in this world meet the prince, it is just like when these women meet their wives.

Subconsciously, you will feel ashamed of yourself.

And when the fairy concubine in their eyes noticed their return, she blinked her clear and bright eyes and said in some surprise.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

The leading female servant came forward and put a layer of snow-white fox fur on Yu Xuanji, saying with some concern.

"I just inquired and found out that the Lord has not sent back any news yet. I guess it is uncertain when he will return. Madam, please don't wait any longer."

The wind is cold outside the city, but even stronger on top.

Even though they knew that the Madam was not afraid of cold or heat with her cultivation, they still subconsciously couldn't bear to see such a beauty like her suffer like this.

But after hearing this, Yu Xuanji nodded.

"I know."

Upon hearing this, the maids felt even more distressed for Yu Xuanji.

I guess the lady must love you terribly, that's why she wants to wait here even though she knows she can't wait for her lover to return.

This infatuation is enough to make the stories in the love novels in the maids' minds reflect reality.

However, the next moment, Yu Xuanji continued.

"I'm not waiting for you, my dear."

At first, when she climbed to the top of the city wall and looked north toward the grassland, she was indeed looking forward to Han Shao's return.

So that he can see me for the first time.

But the person she is waiting for now is not him.

The waitresses were shocked when they heard this.

"Who is the lady waiting for?"

Regarding this question, Yu Xuanji thought about it and said.

"Waiting for the two benefactors."

Speaking of which, Yu Xuanji didn't know if the word "benefactor" was appropriate. But she was really grateful to those two.

If it weren't for the kindness of those two, how could she have been able to accompany her husband every day for the past year?

But when she thought of the warnings and hints from the two masters before she left, Yu Xuanji felt a little guilty again.

After all, she failed to keep an eye on her husband, and now the people in the backyard are becoming more and more "prosperous".

Feeling so guilty and distressed, she even forgot about Han Shao.

I was only thinking about how to explain to those two terrifying beings when we meet.

The maids who heard Yu Xuanji's words became even more surprised.

"Madam's benefactor is in the grassland?"

Yu Xuanji blinked her wise eyes and said with some confusion.

“I’ve never been to the prairie.”

The implication is, how could her benefactor be on the grassland?

As soon as she said this, it was the waitress' turn to be confused.

"Then why is Madam waiting in the North City?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xuanji was stunned for a long while before finally coming to her senses.

"Too."

"Zhenliao City should be in the south."

After saying that, Su Baiyun waved her sleeves lightly and took a group of female servants with her to the top of the South City.

……

Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan's victory on this trip north was not made public.

So basically no one was notified.

Jiang Hu was the only one who got the news because of his special status.

Looking at Yu Xuanji who suddenly appeared beside him, Jiang Hu was obviously a little surprised.

Just as he was about to step forward to greet him, he saw Yu Xuanji take the lead, kneeling down and greeting him, "Uncle".

Feeling the vast and powerful aura from Yu Xuanji, Jiang Hu felt a little ashamed and even said he didn't dare.

They stayed in this awkward position for a while. As time passed, Yu Xuanji suddenly raised her head, looked at the smoke rising in the distance, and said.

"coming."

For some reason, Jiang Hu actually heard a hint of nervous tremor in these two simple words.

Jiang Hu didn't understand what she was afraid of and shook his head helplessly.

However, he had no time to think about these things. In the distance, two streams of smoke that were running side by side but clearly separated gradually became clear.

By the time we got down from the city wall, it wasn't long before two carriages were visible in the distance.

Considering Gongsun Xinyi's status as Madam Gongsun, Jiang Hu still made some preparations at the city gate, although everything was kept simple.

After another hundred breaths, the two carriages, escorted by a line of cavalry, stopped steadily on the straight road in front of the city gate.

Jiang Hu hurried forward and was about to speak when he heard an apologetic female voice coming from one of the carriages engraved with the Liaodong Gongsun clan emblem.

"How can an elder personally welcome a younger person? If Han Lang finds out, he will definitely blame Mulan for being unreasonable."

As he was speaking, a cool but heroic figure appeared outside the carriage, and took the initiative to come forward and perform the etiquette of a junior.

Jiang Hu said he didn't dare.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Who can think of it?

He is just a small sergeant and an old soldier, but he has ended up like this.

This mysterious encounter always makes Jiang Hu feel unreal.

"Jiang Hu meets the lady!"

Gongsun Xinyi was somewhat dissatisfied with this formality.

But she knew Jiang Hu's special status in Han Shao's eyes, but she didn't dare to show it.

Just when I was feeling awkward, I heard a gentle and pleasant voice calling from behind me.

"uncle--"

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

Even though Jiang Hu was a cold-blooded soldier at heart, he couldn't help but tremble his eyes.

As soon as he looked up at the woman in front of him who was dressed in exquisite noble clothes, Jiang Hu was slightly stunned.

"Wan Niang?"

Jiang Wan smiled faintly.

"Could it be that Uncle doesn't recognize Wan Niang?"

I really don't dare to recognize you.

After all, the manners and temperament of this virtuous lady in front of him were so different from those of the common woman in the past that it would not be an exaggeration to say that she had been reborn.

Jiang Hu opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

After hesitating for a while, he finally said something dry.

"How is Wanniang these days?"

Jiang Hu is not good at talking, and Aunt Jiang has scolded him in front of Jiang Wan more than once.

Fortunately, Shao Ge'er is not like him.

Her Shao Ge'er is good at coaxing people.

Jiang Wan complained about her uncle in her heart for a while and said coquettishly.

"I thought that my uncle only had eyes for the eldest lady, but he actually cares about his niece?"

Hearing this tone, Gongsun Xinyi, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but frown.

"Wan Niang should not be willful and should respect her elders."

These words were so harsh that Jiang Wan almost lost her character.

He rolled his eyes and said calmly.

"Sister Mulan taught me a lesson, and Wanniang accepted it."

I am really angry.

But for Shao Ge'er, she still endured it.

But when he caught a glimpse of a quail-like figure hiding behind the crowd, his eyebrows twitched.

"Xuanji, why don't you come over and meet your sister Mulan?"

Jiang Wan is a professional when it comes to applying eye drops.

Gongsun Xinyi raised her eyes and glanced at her, before finally fixing her gaze on Yu Xuanji.

Condescending.

Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, Yu Xuanji subconsciously pinched the jade rabbit in her arms and walked forward to pay her respects tremblingly.

"Meet the Madam, meet the Madam Jiang."

Before the real owner arrived, she was Madam Yu, respected by everyone in the mansion.

Once the real owner arrives, everything becomes clear.

Gongsun Xinyi stared at her for a while and nodded lightly.

"It's still a bit orderly."

After saying that, he said directly.

"We'll talk about it when we get home."

The imperial edict has been drafted, and the long-awaited event has finally come to pass.

Gongsun Xinyi also had fewer concerns than before.

She no longer avoided it, and Jiang Wan had even less taboos.

The group of people entered the Marquis Guanjun's Mansion in a dignified manner.

Seeing the two of them acting so superior, Yu Xuanji hadn't said anything yet, but Bai Zhenzhen, who was acting as a cute toy in her arms, was so angry that she jumped up and down.

Do you know who you are facing?

Eight realms of heavenly beings!

The future Lord of Taiyin Palace who will be high in the ninth heaven!
"How dare two vulgar people be so arrogant!"

Seeing that Bai Zhenzhen looked like she wanted to kill the two of them for her so that she could take over, Yu Xuanji had no choice but to appease her.

"Don't mess around."

In this marquis's mansion, she was already below the two men's food chain.

Isn't it normal to feel a little angry?

Besides, she has taken advantage of others enough times in the past year.

From the bottom of her heart, she was grateful to these two people.

What worries her now is how to deal with their questioning and accusations next.

With the sudden arrival of Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan, the entire inner courtyard of the mansion was unsurprisingly in chaos.

"Hmph! What a foul smell!"

This is what Gongsun Xinyi commented.
