The ancient mythical beast quickly wears a cruel and ruthless

Chapter 350: The Infatuated General's Cannon Fodder Wife (4)

Duan Mingzhu seemed to have seen through his thoughts and took the initiative to put her arms around his waist, "General, my father asked you to protect me in the letter. Mingzhu is counting on you for the rest of my life!"

Tong Li resisted the urge to hug her back, and gently pushed her away, saying softly, "Don't worry, Gege, I will definitely protect you!"

Duan Mingzhu was even more moved when she heard his slightly magnetic voice.

She must get this man with overflowing hormones!

Then, Tong Li frowned as he looked at the horse that the deputy general was leading over.

He didn't want the person in front of him to ride with others.

Whether she was being embraced by the deputy general or she was embracing the deputy general, these were things Tong Li didn't want to see.

After a brief thought, he made a decision and said to the deputy general, "You don't have to send her off. Give the order to go back in half a quarter of an hour!"

Since Prince Rui was dead, he could not return to the capital without an imperial edict.

A man like him who holds military power should not rashly return to Beijing to avoid causing trouble.

"Yes!" The deputy general took the order and left.

Tong Li gently pulled Duan Mingzhu's sleeve and led her to his horse, "Then I'll have to ride on the same horse with you, Princess!"

Duan Mingzhu looked at him lovingly, "Don't feel wronged. Mingzhu will bother the general in the next period of time."

"Don't bother me. I hope you don't mind!" Tong Li looked at her tenderly, jumped on the horse, and stretched out his big hand in front of Duan Mingzhu.

Duan Mingzhu smiled and got on, then stepped on the stirrup and sat on Tong Li's chest.

Tong Li put his arms around her waist, grabbed the reins, smelled her body fragrance with his nose, and suddenly felt a little distracted.

At this moment, he had completely forgotten about his wife and son.

That kind of throbbing made his eyes and heart filled with the Princess Mingzhu in front of him.

"Princess, sit down, we're ready to go!" Tong Li leaned close to Duan Mingzhu's ear and whispered.

"Well, General, I believe in your riding skills!" Duan Mingzhu relaxed herself and leaned on his chest with a trusting smile on her face.

Not long after, the deputy general came riding over.

"General, the team has been reorganized and we can set off!" The deputy general looked at the two men and understood instantly.

"Yes! Let's go!" Tong Li raised the whip in his hand and shouted loudly.

Afterwards, he took the lead, holding Duan Mingzhu and riding towards the border!

Behind him was an army of 50,000 strong, forming a mighty force.

The deputy general deliberately slowed down the army's pace and kept a distance from Tong Li.

He and Tong Li have worked together for many years and he knows very well that the general has developed special feelings for Princess Mingzhu.

He also made it a point to allow the two of them to have some time alone together.

Not far away, the two were whispering on horseback, and occasionally Duan Mingzhu let out a crisp laugh...

This time, Tong Li did not travel day and night, and it took him two days to return to the border.

He asked his deputy general to take his men back to the camp, while he took Duan Mingzhu to the general's mansion.

However, what he didn't know was that on the very night he met Duan Mingzhu.

He passed by the convoy that Su Li and his group were in.

Soon, they arrived at the general's gate.

Looking at the closed door of the General's Mansion, Tong Li frowned slightly.

The door used to be always open.

What's going on today?

He helped Duan Mingzhu get off the horse, held her sleeve and went forward to knock on the door.

The door was opened a crack by the concierge. "Hey, sir, you're back?"

The old man at the door quickly opened the door and welcomed Tong Li in.

The slightly desolate General's Mansion had completely lost its former vitality.

Tong Li frowned, "Go tell Fu Jin that I'm back with a distinguished guest! Ask her to come out and take care of it."

"Master, Madam Fu has taken the young master and young lady back to the capital!" the doorman explained hurriedly.

"What? Why would she come back to Beijing for no reason?"

Tong Li was furious. "Doesn't she know that the capital is in chaos right now? Why would she go to the capital now to cause trouble?"

"General, don't be angry. Mrs. Fu must have her considerations. I'm tired..." Duan Mingzhu said softly.

After taking a look at the person in his arms, Tong Li took a breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

He said to the concierge, "Go find the butler and ask him to arrange an exquisite courtyard for the distinguished guest."

"Master, there is no butler anymore! The butler has followed the lady back to the capital! Now there are only a few old guys like us from Tongjia Village!" the doorman said in a low voice.

"what!"

Tong Li growled, "What the hell is this Ge Liangyan doing!"

"General, let's go inside and talk! It's not good to stand here at the door!" Duan Mingzhu said in a low voice after looking at the door.

It’s a good thing that the lady is not here, as it makes it convenient for her to take down the man in front of her!

"it is good!"

Tong Li nodded and led her to the backyard. "There are still two or three empty courtyards in my general's mansion. Take a look at which one you like and I'll find someone to clean it up for you."

"General, there's no need to go to such trouble. I'll be in your yard, just find a room to rest in."

Duan Mingzhu shook her head. "Now I am alone. I am afraid of such a big yard. I will feel safe only if I am close to you."

Tong Li hesitated for a second, then nodded in agreement, "Okay."

There were indeed empty east and west wing rooms in the courtyard where he and Ge Liangyan lived.

Now that she is closer to me, it is indeed more convenient for me to take care of her.

After sending Duan Mingzhu to the east wing, he went to check the situation in the mansion.

After that, he flew into a rage!

In the entire General's Mansion, there are only a few old people from Tongjia Village left.

All the maids and servants, as well as the managers, were taken away!

He was a great general, but when he returned home, he couldn't even have a sip of hot soup or hot food.

Moreover, Ge Liangyan actually took away all the silver in the mansion!

He has no servants and no money for the expenses of the mansion. How can he take care of the distinguished guests from the capital?

"Is Ge Liangyan having a seizure?" Tong Li wanted to chase her right now and make her give him an explanation.

However, he thought that if he left, Princess Mingzhu would definitely be scared.

Plus, it would take several days to go back and forth. What should she do during those days?

Thinking of this, he instructed Old Man Tong who had been working in the kitchen, "Third Uncle, go ask Zuiyunlou to send over a table of delicious food. Put it on the account of the General's Mansion first, and give it to the Madam when she comes back."

"Yes!" Old Man Tong responded quickly.

"Also, ask my uncle to go to the pawnshop and find two smart maids to serve the distinguished guests from the capital."

He thought for a moment, then took out a small stack of banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Old Man Tong, "Spend this money wisely, but don't treat our distinguished guests unfairly, understand?"

He took this silver from Ge Liangyan's jewelry box when he set out a few days ago.

This is in case I need to spend money to go to the capital.

Now it seems that it’s a good thing that he took it, otherwise such a big general’s mansion would be in ruins.
