“Why are you running?” Pei Xiangjun held Luo Ning in her arms and pulled Ye Jingtang’s hand over.

Luo Ning’s eyes were instantly filled with shame and anger. She pressed down the arm of Ye Jingtang, who was bullying the two of them at once. “Little thief, you promised not to mess around yesterday…”

Pei Xiangjun hugged Luo Ning tightly and frowned. “That was yesterday. It’s already the next day. Don’t move around. Let Jingtang rub you for a while.” “Third Lady, why are you spoiling him? His personality of pushing his luck…” When Luo Ning saw that Ye Jingtang was really taking action, her face gradually turned red. She could only close her eyes and pretend not to cooperate…

In the blink of an eye, it was late in the morning.

The window in the room was open, and warm sunlight shone into the room.

Pei Xiangjun wore a light yellow ruqun and sat elegantly in front of the dressing table. Her already mature and beautiful face had become a little more moisturized.

Luo Ning was standing behind Third Lady and helping her tie her hair, but she looked quite fierce. When she saw Third Lady peeking at Ye Jingtang, who was changing his clothes behind them, she even held her face with her hands. “Sit still. Don’t move.”

“Why are you so fierce? Why didn’t I see you being so arrogant earlier?”

“Yesterday was your first time, so I accommodated you. The next time you help a villain do evil, don’t blame me for being rude…”

“Tsk~”

Ye Jingtang was changing his clothes at the back. Because he had been a little presumptuous just now, it wasn’t appropriate for him to interrupt and joke. After silently changing into the Black Office’s robe, he rubbed his waist that Ning’er had pinched for a long time, bade farewell to the two women, and left the inn…

In Riverside Town, the imperial guards were on standby in the shade. From time to time, scouts would come flying from the distant Wu Mountains and run into the inn to report the various news they had obtained.

“Ze Province’s troops have already caught up with the Prince of Wu’s team. They fought in the early morning and captured many of the people accompanying him. The Prince of Wu led more than ten personal guards to break out of the siege…”

“Is there a person named Zhang Wenyuan among the people captured by the Prince of Wu?”

“We haven’t had the time to check. It’s unclear at the moment…”

“Check again.”

In the main hall of the inn, Dongfang Liren, dressed in a silver python dress, assumed the attitude that a princess should have while standing behind two tables put together.

On the tables was a detailed map of Wu Province. There were various arrowheads and circles on it, indicating the location of the Prince of Wu and the imperial court’s troops.

From the looks of it, she looked like a general good at war, strategizing and commanding troops.

But in fact, the Ze Province troops in the mountains were not under this command at all. This wasn’t because Dongfang Liren couldn’t mobilize them but because she didn’t dare to give orders rashly from afar.

Without entering the mountains, Dongfang Liren could only deduce and analyze the situation in the mountains based on the intelligence sent back by the scouts.

Hearing that the Ze Province army was about to capture the Prince of Wu, Dongfang Liren looked up at the street outside the door. Why isn’t that scoundrel here yet? Did he lose himself in carnal pleasures and forget the time…

Although she was a little anxious, Dongfang Liren had no intention of sending someone to look for Ye Jingtang. After all, she knew that he had been extremely lustful last night. After working hard for so many days and making great contributions, she had to let him enjoy himself.

After she waited for an unknown period of time, a chief constable of the Black Office called out from outside the door, “Sir Bird is here!”

“Chirp chirp-”

Dongfang Liren looked up and saw the big bird appear on the sunny street outside the door. After responding to the chief constable and the maidservant who greeted it, it jumped up the steps and raised its wing to greet her.

In the corner of the hall, Daoist Xuanji had nothing to do and had been drinking alone. When she saw the lousy bird, who had repaid kindness with ingratitude, she curled her finger slightly and teased it. “Cluck cluck-”

“Chirp?” When the bird saw that Sister Heartless was also here and that she was treating it like a chicken, it was instantly unhappy. It put on a ‘I am very fierce’ look and ran over to kick Daoist Xuanji’s shoe with its claws.

When Dongfang Liren saw the bird, she knew that Ye Jingtang had arrived. She went to the door and looked out.

On the sunny street, Ye Jingtang, who was wearing a black robe and had a saber hanging at his waist, was walking over from afar. Along the way, he was greeting the chief constables of the Black Office he knew. He looked radiant and in great spirits.

When Dongfang Liren saw this cold and extraordinary appearance, she knew that Ye Jingtang had a good rest. But for some reason, after seeing the well-dressed scoundrel, she felt especially strange.

As for Daoist Xuanji, whose skirt the bird was biting and shaking, when she saw Ye Jingtang walking over from outside, she restrained her frivolous demeanor, assumed the posture of an enlightened Daoist, and arrived behind Dongfang Liren…
