By the time Eunuch Zhang arrived, Song Si had already told Duke Ding what had happened at the Household Department.
“You did the right thing!”
As the saying goes, if you don’t look at the face of the Buddha, Song Si is the aunt of his Duke Ding’s house, even for his sake, the Minister of Household should not have made things difficult for Song Si again and again.
“But I guess the emperor will step in on this matter, he won’t ……”
Before he could finish his words, the housekeeper came in to report, “Master, Eunuch Zhang is here, saying he’s here to see Miss Song.”
Duke Ding Guo and Song Si looked at each other and instructed the butler to bring the man over as they got up to leave.
Eunuch Zhang walked into the parlour and, seeing that Song Wangyue was the only one, spoke directly to the emperor about his words.
Song Wangyue didn’t hold back, “Please ask Eunuch to tell His Majesty that I will leave when the city gates open first thing tomorrow morning.”
When Eunuch Zhang left, Duke Ding and Song Si came back, and when they were about to enter, Duke Ding gave a wink to the attendant who was waiting at the side, who understood and left with quick steps.
A short while later, Xiao Zheng came over, “Si’er, I got a good thing a few days ago, come with me to see if it’s real.”
Xiao Zheng often got something back and always let Song Si see it, so Song Si didn’t doubt it and got up to follow him over.
The only two people left in the parlour were Duke Ding and Song Wan Yue.
The attendant closed the door and stood guard at the door.
“O Yue’er ……”
Duke Ding wanted to help Chu Yunxiao plead for mercy, Yue’er had pent up anger for years, if he met the boy’s face he would still beat him to death? But he didn’t know how to speak.
Song Wan Yue guessed what he wanted to say, but pretended not to know, “Just say what you have to say.”
The Duke of Ding could not say anything. That’s all, that boy can be beaten up, who let him not give Yue’er the word in the first place.
He changed his tone, “My body does often feel tired, if you see anything wrong later, don’t hide it from me.”
Song Wangyue gestured for him to put his hand out on the table, and she put her finger on his pulse, and after a short while withdrew her hand and said with a smile, “This is due to too much thinking, nothing serious.”
“Really?”
Song Wangyue nodded her head.
Duke Ding put his mind at ease.
After all, if he was not careful, his whole family and his daughter and granddaughter’s family would be involved.
But ……
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time, and they’ve been in the business for a long time.
This is originally their family matter, when Xiao’er went to the border also in order not to involve Yue’er, he naturally can not ask out.
After eating and talking for a while, Song Wan Yue asked Song Si to accompany her on a trip to the Xu family and stayed for an hour before returning to South City.
The next morning, as soon as the city gates opened, Song Wan Yue rode out with five guards and headed straight for the border gate.
At that moment, a battle had just ended at the border gate and the soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield.
Song Yin’s armour was splattered with blood, as was his sword, which he casually wiped on a dead enemy soldier and inserted into the sheath of his sword.
“Young master.”
Xiao Si came over, his armour also splattered with blood, the battle had been painful, killing a full five hundred of the enemy’s men, while they had only a few dozen dead and wounded.
“General Shen has sent word for you to return to the city as soon as possible.”
Song Yin swept a glance at the soldiers who were still cleaning up the battlefield and told Xiao Si to stay behind as he rode back to the city, seeing Shen Yan standing on the city wall from afar and speeding up his speed.
After entering the city gates, he turned over and dismounted, quickly stepping up to the city tower, both feet just stepping up, before he could stand still, a fist pounded over and landed on his left shoulder, Captain Wei couldn’t suppress his excited voice rang out, “Song Yin, good job.”
In the ten battles they had fought this year, they had won every time, thanks to Song Yin’s strategy, and even more so this time. This was something that had never been done before.
Others also came forward to praise.
“Don’t be too happy ……”
Shen Yan’s voice came over. This year was unusually unusual, since after the New Year, foreign clans attacked frequently, something that had never happened before.
The foreigners were strong and crushed the soldiers of the Great Qing Country physically, so they used to suffer physically in every battle, which only improved since Song Yin trained his soldiers to set up formations.
But the foreigners were not simple-minded, and after a few big losses, they were bound to think of ways to break the formation.
Song Yin walked to stand beside him and followed his line of sight to look at the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield in the distance. After a fierce battle, they were all exhausted and walking a little shakily, but despite this, they still had smiles on their faces.
“We’ll have to send out men to pry, the Outsiders won’t attack us for no reason.”
Shen Yan had thought of this too, but outside the pass were all foreigners who looked different from the people of Daqing, and as soon as the people he sent out, they would be seen and in great danger.
“I can’t let them get killed for nothing.”
Song Yin heard the meaning of his words and said, “I’ll think of a way.”
The sound of clattering hoofs came as a fast horse came running from the city and reached the city wall in the blink of an eye, the man on the horse stopped his horse, rolled down and shouted towards the wall, “Young master.”
Song Yin was the only one who could be addressed in this way.
But the subordinates in the house knew that there was a war going on and would not have come to him at this time if they did not have something important to do.
Song Yin quickly stepped down from the city wall and walked up to him, “What is it?”
The servant stepped forward slightly and lowered his voice, “News has come from the capital, the emperor has sent Miss Song over here to make pills, she has already departed.”
The little girl was coming!
Song Yin was so happy that he could not wait to jump on the spot a few times.
His joy was so obvious that it showed on his face. The subordinate could see it clearly and was happy too, “Over there, they said that apart from Miss Song herself bringing five men, the Second Prince has also sent thirty secret guards and twenty of our own people have come.”
Song Yin suppressed his excitement, “Go back first and send some more people to meet them secretly.”
The subordinate answered and beat his horse to leave.
Song Yin grinned as he re-entered the city tower.
“Song Yin, what’s good, say it so that we can rejoice with you.”
Lieutenant Wei came over and rested his elbow on his shoulder, laughing and joking.
“Want to know?”
That was all Lieutenant Wei said, he knew that Song Yin was very tight lipped and wouldn’t say anything, hearing him ask, instead he froze for a moment, then nodded, “Tell me quickly, what’s good?”
Song Yin shook Lieutenant Wei’s elbow down, word by word, “A good thing is ……”
The crowd looked at him, even Shen Yan couldn’t help but look over.
Song Yin looked around at them, and the next few words were said more clearly, “No- tell- you- guys.”
“Brat!”
Lieutenant Wei laughed and scolded, pushing him a little.
The rest of the men followed suit and scolded him.
Shen Yan also laughed and shook his head, having come to the border for almost four years, this was the first time he had seen Song Yin playing tricks on people.
