"How is it?" Shang Tingli asked.

Fei Luan handed over a piece of paper, "I have been waiting outside the Ji family for three days, and finally I found them. Here is the address, please take a look."

Shang Tingli nodded, opened the note and took a look. There was indeed an address on it. She squinted her eyes and said thoughtfully, "West Street?"

Fei Luan said, "I didn't expect that Ji Zhang actually hid the person on West Street."

Three days ago, Shang Tingli asked Fei Luan to secretly observe Ji Zhang to see if Ji Zhang had a mistress outside.

As she expected, it had already started at this time.

Shang Tingli waved his hand: "I understand, you go down first."

"Subordinates retire."

After Fei Luan left, Gan Tang couldn't help but approach Shang Tingli and asked in disbelief, "Prince Consort, did General Ji really hide someone outside?"

Shang Tingli smiled faintly: "Fei Luan should not make any mistakes."

Fei Luan was originally Ke Xin's man, and she became more and more comfortable with him. Apart from anything else, a qualified secret guard would not make any mistakes, so Fei Luan could still be assured of what she was doing.

After receiving a positive answer, Gan Tang immediately said with disdain: "She is a cat that knows how to steal fish. Now I can only feel lucky that Miss Lan Xi's vision is not that good. She deserves it."

If this man really became their son-in-law, wouldn't they be so angry that they would die?

Shang Tingli smiled silently.

I just hope Yu Lanxi can accept this surprise.

Ji Zhang's mistress was called Yin Yu'ai, an orphan girl selling steamed buns that he met in his hometown Cangjiang. At that time, they were young and in love with each other, but love could not compete with a promising future. Ji Zhang only left a sentence "I will spend half my life in the military, and I will let you talk about farming and hemp together", and left without looking back.

Not to mention that he has spent half his life in the military, just look at last year when he was still a sixth-rank guard, he was able to forget the promises he made to others in the past, and was able to accept the marriage proposal from the Marquis's Mansion without any guilt.

But if it were just that, it would be extremely despicable. But he looked at the food in the bowl and thought about the food in the pot. While he was patiently coaxing the young lady of the Marquis's Mansion, he couldn't forget the beautiful figure of his youth.

Even in his previous life, Ji Zhang was not a contented person and had hidden Yin Yu'ai outside for several years.

Shang Tingli couldn't help but curl his lips and smile sarcastically.

It’s ridiculous to think about it. She actually supported him to become a first-rank general, and only discovered his true face after everything was settled.

He really deserves to die.

……

The weather outside the window is warm and the room is filled with the aroma of tea.

Someone chuckled: "I haven't seen Xingchen in the past few days. Could it be that he has been tripped up by the gentle countryside?"

Ke Xin touched his nose and smiled awkwardly: "Brother Yun Yan, what are you talking about? That's not true."

From what he heard, he was almost despised to death. How could there be any gentle country for him to indulge in?

Brother Yunyan is really heartbreaking.

Ke Yu looked at him mischievously: "You haven't made up your mind yet?" He couldn't help but shook his head, "Some people are about to jump into it headfirst, and I don't know what they are trying to do."

After that, he poured himself a cup of tea.

"...Not really." Ke Xin was speechless.

Ke Yu smiled but said nothing.

Ke Xin changed the subject awkwardly, cleared his throat and said, "What do you think of the Northern Barbarians' decision to send their princess here for marriage, Brother Yun Yan?"

Ke Yu said bluntly: "The Eastern Palace only needs one Crown Princess. I think the Fourth Brother and the Northern Barbarians are quite interesting."

This time Ke Xin didn't respond.

The battle with the Northern Barbarians was mainly thanks to Ke Ming himself. Although he and Ke Yu had some clues that Ke Ming was colluding with the Northern Barbarians, they had not yet collected all the evidence and it was not yet time to expose him. Ke Ming had never told him about this, which showed that he did not absolutely trust him. It was precisely because of this that they were able to catch the Northern Barbarians off guard.

I'm afraid that the Northern Barbarians now have some resentment towards Ke Ming. After all, because of the false news spread by Ke Ming, the Northern Barbarians suffered heavy losses. Not only did they have to send the princess to marry, but they also ceded five cities. It would be difficult for Ke Ming to take advantage of the Northern Barbarians in the future.

Thinking of this, Ke Xin couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

He began to look forward to it.

Looking forward to the day when Ke Ming knows the truth.

……

"boom--"

"Bang Bang Bang——"

"Crackling——"

In the study of Prince Zhou's mansion, pens, ink, paper and inkstone were scattered all over the floor. The scent of ink filled the entire room, and it seemed as if the sunlight shining through the window lattice had also dimmed.

After Ke Ming vented his anger, he was finally able to calm down and said, "Someone come here."

The next moment someone came in and cleaned the house.

Ke Ming sat on a chair with his back to the light. His face looked gloomy, making it impossible to tell his emotions.

The unrest in the northern part of Sha had not achieved his goal at all, on the contrary, it had dealt him a heavy blow. His mood had not improved at all until now, and today he had received a letter from the northern barbarians.

They said they didn't dare to trust him anymore, and if he really wanted to cooperate, please show his sincerity.

Ke Ming was angry and annoyed.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

Someone knocked on the door.

Ke Ming came back to his senses and said coldly, "Come in."

His confidant Ji Ying walked in, "Your Majesty, General Ji is here."

Ke Ming paused, closed his eyes and pressed his temples, then opened his eyes again and said, "No."

"Yes."

Jiying clasped his fists and turned around.

"Wait." Ke Ming stopped him, "You said that the king is currently busy, so ask him to come back another day."

Jiying agreed and turned away again.

Ke Ming held his forehead, feeling very upset.

He originally thought that Ji Zhang was a good person and could be used a few times, but now he realized that this person was not good enough in front of Ke Xin.

He felt very complicated.
