Chapter 135 Ambush First

The people in the third room sent people to contact her several times, but she didn't dare to go back to her parents' house for fear of something happening and getting burned.

When the time comes to lose the support of the Duke's Mansion, it will be said that the gain outweighs the loss.

Therefore, in the past two days, she began to act in front of her husband again.

The scarf was soaked all over from crying, and the eyes were swollen like peaches.

"Husband, what should I do? The fourth sister of my mother's family committed suicide several times. If I continue to be forced to do so, I'm afraid everyone will be forced to die. But I promised in front of my father-in-law that I will try my best. If it doesn’t work then, what can we do?”

Jia Weiyou is now one of the top two.

If they can't find a suitable candidate, will they really have to send their sister to Prince Min's Mansion?

Therefore, there was no reply.

While Shang Liu Niang was crying, she paid careful attention to her husband's face.

When her husband didn't reply, she cried even more uncontrollably.

Jia Weiyou felt sorry for his sister, but he also felt sorry for his wife, so he came forward to comfort her.

"It's an uncertain thing in the first place. Since the fourth sister is unwilling to live or die, we can't really force her. If she kills someone, wouldn't it be enmity with the Duke's government?"

"Forget it, I will look for suitable candidates among my cousins ​​in the next few days. If I can replace my sister in Prince Min's palace, we are willing to pay no matter how high the price is."

Hearing this, Shang Liu Niang pretended to wipe her tears and said very apologetically.

"It's all my fault for making things difficult for my husband."

Once she shows weakness, she is the most touching. Jia Weiyou has suffered most from her these years, so she quickly comforted her.

"How could it be your fault? Don't think too much."

Shang Liu Niang took advantage of the situation and leaned forward, snuggling into Jia Weiyou's arms. She blamed herself again, making Jia Weiyou even more distressed.

The snow and wind outside were blowing harder and harder.

The roads were slippery in the snow, and if all the carriage and horse roads were not cleaned every day, they would have been completely covered in snow.

The Jia family was still anxiously looking for a replacement. On the other side, Luo Yuan and Zheng Deli, one of the twelve deputy generals of the Huben Army, had already led their men to ambush in advance.

There is only one way for Shang Yukuan, the Duke of the country, to go back to his hometown.

Those who are close to the imperial city do not dare to take action.

They didn't dare to take action even when they were close to the Duke's Mansion.

The only place where you are most likely to take action is on Pingle Street, which you will pass in the middle.

This is a lively market, usually crowded with people, and tomorrow is the time to go to the market to buy new year's goods, so there are various stalls to cover it.

Therefore, it is easier to escape after taking action.

So Luo Yuan was ordered to guard here, and also "trapped" his good brother here.

"Bah, you kid is not kind at all. It was obviously arranged by the general for you, but you insist on dragging me into the water. I am so annoying to follow you here in the snow."

Zheng Deli has a sharp knife and a sharp mouth.

He didn't live up to his name at all. He scolded Luo Yuan without leaving any room.

If these words were said to anyone else, they would be extremely uncomfortable.

But the other party was Luo Yuan, and the thick-skinned guy didn't care and just shouted back.

"You're the one who talks the most. Although the general gave me the orders, he also told me to mobilize my own manpower. What's wrong? Not convinced? Why don't you go to the general and confront him before you finish the work?"

Zheng Deli was not afraid. The stubble on his face showed that he had a bad temper, and he said fiercely to Luo Yuan.

"Confrontation is confrontation, whoever is afraid of whom! If it weren't for your dirty tricks, I would have defeated you, and you would have been given the opportunity to be the general's personal attendant. Huh, now you know how to put on my little shoes!"

Hearing this, Luo Yuan chuckled.

"You misunderstood me, didn't you? I seriously asked the general why he chose me as his personal attendant. What do you think he said?"

Zheng Deli just complained, but he really didn't expect Luo Yuan to actually ask, so he came over curiously and asked anxiously.

"Say, you kid, don't take off your pants and just fart."

"The general said, I don't look scary, so it would be better to follow him."

"WTF?"

This obviously irritated Zheng Deli, a tall and thick man. Would it be scary if he dared to grow a beard?

Suddenly his eyes turned red, as if he wanted to eat someone.

He is well-known on the battlefield. The enemy is most afraid of his broadsword. He kills people just like chopping melons and vegetables, showing a life-threatening cruelty. Therefore, he is known as "Yam Luo with the broadsword".

Seeing how quickly Luo Yuan's expression changed, he immediately took a few steps back and said with a smile.

"Vice General Zheng, don't be angry, don't be angry, we'd better do business first!"

"Run away after provoking someone. It's just for the general's sake. Otherwise, I'll skin you!"

Then he snorted coldly and gave instructions to his elite soldiers.

"Leave an ambush at the location on the map, and capture it as soon as you find someone taking action."

"yes."

"Remember to stay alive!"

Luo Yuan added, but it's just enough to keep him alive. It doesn't matter if his hands or feet are broken.

The two of them stood on a high place and looked down at the people below who were strolling around with great interest. Everyone's faces were filled with excitement about celebrating the New Year.

It's a pity that such a good mood will be completely cut off by the "assassination plan" tomorrow.

As night falls, the stars change.

The next day, Du Jingyi woke up early in the morning.

It was probably because I had something on my mind that I couldn't sleep much.

She couldn't sleep, so Shang Ji naturally got up to accompany her.

First, he handed her a cup of warm water on the table to moisten her throat, and then asked softly.

"Are you going to get up?"

"Well, my bones are a little sore from lying down these days, so it's better to get up and move around."

Shang Ji supported her waist and slowly pulled Du Jingyi up.

Du Jingyi had said it several times that she was no different now, but he just wouldn't listen.

In the past, Du Jingyi thought that her brother-in-law He Shilin was making a fuss, but now it seems that her husband is also worthy of it.

So, after saying it several times without any use, she stopped talking about it.

Anyway, he didn't stay at home for long, so he should cherish the time when he could eat and sleep together like this.

There was movement in their inner room, and Cherry, who was on guard outside, heard the movement.

After quickly waking up, she walked in and said respectfully.

"Good morning, general, good morning, young lady."

This time it was not a polite word, it was really good morning.

"What time is it?"

"Madam, it's exactly 11:00."

Du Jingyi smiled faintly and then said to Shang Ji.

"This is probably the earliest time I've gotten up recently."

Shang Ji naturally knew why she got up early, but he didn't say it.

But seeing that she was in good spirits, he didn't interfere.

"Get some water and ask the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Madam."

"Yes, General."
