After the divorce, the four big guys became my servants

Seeing that he was in a hurry, Zhao Ge also asked anxiously, "Why are you going to Qingzhou so suddenly? Is it because of the flood?"

Yuan Jinglie nodded: "After the flood, Qingzhou bandits occupied the mountains and called themselves kings, clamoring for the imperial court. The Qingzhou government office was beaten by them so hard that they could not even raise their heads."

A dignified city government was barely surviving due to the bullying of bandits.

The prefect was even more embarrassed. He was captured alive by the bandit leader in the mountains...

Zhao Ge was surprised: "These mountain barbarians are so powerful that they need you to take action yourself."

You know, the battlefield where Yuan Jinglie went before was with Nan Qin.

"The Empress Dowager asked me to go. She said she didn't trust anyone else."

Yuan Jinglie was not without doubt. No matter how powerful the bandits on the mountain were, sending a general would be enough. However, the Empress Dowager actually found him in person and begged him to go and suppress the bandits.

"Those mountain bandits have oppressed the government office to such an extent, the court must not lose again. I don't trust anyone else in the court, so I have no choice but to let you go." The Queen Mother said to him at the time.

Although he was a powerful official, the Empress Dowager was still the Empress Dowager after all. He could not refuse the old lady's plea.

Anyway, it probably won’t take too long.

When Zhao Ge heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She didn't know why, but she felt a little uneasy.

But if you ask her what's wrong now, she can't tell.

She sighed and said, "Then you should be careful. Those bandits were able to destroy the Qingzhou government office like that, so they must have some skills."

"Don't worry, I can handle it." Yuan Jinglie raised his chin confidently.

He pulled her into his arms again, begging her and saying coquettishly, "Zhao Zhao, I'm leaving now. I won't be able to see you again for a long time."

"Yeah, it's your fault that you're always so busy." Zhao Ge said in a low voice.

Even though she knew that he was doing it for the country and the people and that it was right to put justice first, she should still be understanding.

But who doesn’t want their loved one to spend more time with them?

Yuan Jinglie smiled and said, "You are always very considerate of me and rarely complain. But now that you said this, I am actually very happy. Otherwise, I always feel that you are too uncomfortable."

Zhao Ge put her arms around his waist and said nothing.

He hugged her soft body and sniffed the fragrance of her hair with satisfaction, "Zhao Zhao, before you leave, can you give me a gift?"

"what?"

"Don't ask anything, just tell me if it's okay."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhao Ge nodded helplessly: "...Okay then."

Yuan Jinglie was very excited, "Then you can't regret it. I will tell you what I want now."

He suddenly pushed her away and put his hands on her shoulders.

In Zhaoge's confused look, he leaned down, with a cunning look in his eyes, which curved into a crescent shape in triumph: "I want to kiss you."

Zhaoge's face turned red.

But she hadn't answered yet. When her red lips slightly opened, Yuan Jinglie interrupted her before she could say anything.

His thin lips kissed her delicately, turning over and over, leaving no gap. Even his teeth were dishonest, biting her lips inadvertently, not hard, but like he was deliberately teasing her.

The wind around them seemed to have calmed down. Zhao Ge could not hear anything. He felt as if he was suspended in mid-air. His legs and feet were weak and he had to be held by him to avoid falling.

I don't know how long this kiss lasted.

When Yuan Jinglie let her go, she was breathing heavily and didn't even dare to look at him.

But this person, on the other hand, raised his tail proudly, "I finally kissed you."

Zhao Ge paused, then he recalled that this was the first time they kissed after being together for such a long time.

The most intimate thing we did in the past seemed to be kissing the forehead.

Just as she was recalling, Yuan Jinglie suddenly approached her, his crystal blue eyes full of smiles.

Only in front of her did he not wear a blindfold.

"My Zhao Zhao is so shy. His face turns red like this after a kiss."

"..." Zhao Ge said weakly: "Did you only kiss me?"

The hand slid back and forth on her back, pinching her waist.

Yuan Jinglie touched her head and laughed, "Okay, okay, I was wrong. I will never do anything else next time."

Zhao Ge glared at him coquettishly.

...

On the second day, Yuan Jinglie led a group of people from Chai'an to Qingzhou.

Zhaoge didn't go to see him off that day, fearing that his longing for him would become overwhelming.

She just stood on the side of the road, watching the group of people leaving the city gate, and her heart seemed to follow them.

As usual every time Yuan Jinglie left, Zhaoge began to frequently go to the Buddhist temple to burn incense and pray to the gods to bless him to return safely.

He was on the battlefield killing enemies, and this was all she could do.

That day, Zhaoge went to the Buddhist temple again.

However, when she returned to Jiang Mansion, she heard people talking on the side of the road.

"I heard that Marquis Wu'an was ambushed on his way to Qingzhou, and all the people he brought with him met with an accident."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ge's steps froze.

"What about Marquis Wu'an?" another person asked.

"The Marquis seems to be fine. It is said that he has arrived in Qingzhou."

Zhao Ge felt her heartbeat recovering. She couldn't wait any longer and rushed to Wu'an Marquis Mansion immediately.

When Yuan Jinglie left, he left Li Jing in the marquis's mansion.

After learning her purpose, Li Jing did not hide it any more and said hurriedly, "Don't worry, young lady. The Marquis is fine. It's just that the people he brought were indeed ambushed. Only the Marquis escaped and rushed to Qingzhou."

"Was it an ambush set by those bandits?"

"It should be, otherwise, there would be no one else."

Are those bandits so powerful?

It would be fine if they couldn't defeat the people from the government office, but even Yuan Jinglie would fall into their ambush.

Moreover, everyone died and only Yuan Jinglie survived. Is this possibility high?

Not to mention that he is so agile, given his personality, it is impossible for him to sacrifice others to save himself.

"If there is any news from Qingzhou in the future, you must tell me immediately!" Zhao Ge's voice trembled a little, and she couldn't even hear what Li Jing said when he nodded.

On this day, she had a strong premonition that this bandit suppression mission would not be easy at all.

Another seven or eight days passed, and no new news came from Qingzhou.

During this period, Zhaoge still went in and out of the Buddhist temple every day.

But praying to Buddha did not bring Yuan Jinglie back safely. On this day in early April, a piece of news was delivered back to Chai'an City at full speed.

On this day, Zhao Ge went out as usual, but she felt that the eyes of people around her were staring at her too deliberately.

Even Mo Huan noticed something was wrong, "Miss, why do I feel like everyone is looking at you?"

Zhao Ge pursed her lips and said nothing.

As she was walking on the street, someone suddenly threw rotten vegetable leaves at her.

"How dare you parade through the streets! You are the family of a traitor!"

Zhao Ge was like a petrified person, her face was pale and she looked at the man in disbelief.

"What did you say?"

"I said you are the relative of the traitor Yuan Jinglie, you deserve to die!"

Then, all the onlookers began to make a fuss, and in unison, with certainty, they nailed her to the pillar of shame as the "family of a traitor."

"That's enough. Whoever dares to cause trouble in the street, come with me to the Dali Temple!"

At the critical moment, Wei Tingfeng suddenly appeared and took the dazed Zhao Ge into the carriage.

Finally getting away, Zhao Ge's eyes trembled as he grabbed Wei Tingfeng's arm, "Master Wei, tell me what happened! Why did they call A Lie a traitor?"

Wei Tingfeng's eyes were complicated. "Something happened in Qingzhou. The urgent report this morning said...said...Marquis Wu'an took Qingzhou and rebelled."
