Marry another wife, the mistress of the marquisate will not serve you anymore

The night fell on the towering city gates. The sound of horse hooves broke the silence of Shangjing City, and an atmosphere of urgency filled the air.

Gu Qingchen was wearing silver armor, the moonlight shining on his body, reflecting a light luster. He was holding a spear, riding on a tall warhorse, and leading a mighty army to the outside of the city, intending to wipe out the remnants of the rebels.

This long-lost feeling made him feel both familiar and unfamiliar, and he cherished this hard-won opportunity to turn things around.

Normally at home, he was always troubled by trivial matters of family life. But when he picked up the spear, he seemed to be back on the battlefield of three years ago. He became radiant and heroic.

Outside the city gate, the blazing torches spread like a sea of ​​fire to the end of the night, reflecting the heroic and high-spirited faces of the soldiers as they marched in neat steps. Their armor flashed coldly in the firelight, and the sound of their footsteps crushed the moonlight and echoed on the lonely road, as if it was the sound of victory beaten out in advance by war drums.

As soon as the troops walked out of the city gate, Xiao Jingheng followed closely with a group of elite soldiers, quietly watching Gu Qingchen's every move from a distance.

Jing Mo asked with a puzzled look on his face:

"Sir, this is a lucrative job. It would be fine if you didn't fight for it, but why did you give it to such a person?"

Huai Xi also expressed that he couldn't understand:

"Yes, sir, this is a first-class achievement. It is obviously you who has been following this matter. You have every move of the remnants of the rebels under your control. Why did you tell him?"

Xiao Jingheng was riding on a tall horse. Seeing that the two of them were so stupid, he shook his head helplessly and said:

"You two have been following me for such a long time, how come you haven't made any progress?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the two of them suddenly realized that their master was holding back a big move, which really made people wait and see.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from behind, breaking the tranquility of the street.

Xiao Jingheng looked in the direction of the sound and recognized at a glance that the luxurious carriage coming from afar was from the Taiwei Mansion. He immediately dismounted and walked towards the carriage.

It’s so late, could it be that Junior Sister has also arrived?

Unexpectedly, she still couldn't let it go.

Soon, the curtain was opened, and Tian Cheng was the first to stick her head out and saluted towards Jamel Xiao:

"Your servant greets the Grand Tutor. My daughter has something important to discuss. Please come in and discuss it with her."

Xiao Jingheng nodded, and immediately got into the carriage with the help of the servant, and sat down humbly and politely opposite Song Wanyin.

"Junior sister, your injuries have not healed yet, so you should not travel too far. Just let me handle the task of wiping out the remnants of the rebels.

I will take action at the right opportunity and will never let the rebels go, nor will I let Gu Qingchen take away the first-class credit."

Song Wanyin specially changed into night clothes to avoid unnecessary trouble. She was nervous and uneasy, and said with her red lips slightly parted:

"Brother, you are more foresighted and have made sufficient preparations for both scenarios, fearing that the remnants of the rebels will suddenly attack the palace in advance.

I have also received accurate information that the remnants of the rebels lurking in Shangjing City have all left the city to join the leader. This time we can catch them all in one fell swoop."

When she learned that Gu Qingchen would personally lead the troops tonight, the spy who had been lurking near the Earl's Mansion recently had already hurried to report that Jiang Lanyue had left the city.

It was a long-planned grand plan, a carefully laid out dragnet, and now it was time to close the net.

Seeing that she looked troubled, Xiao Jingheng asked tentatively:

"Junior sister, you followed me here so late, are you worried about him?"

Song Wanyin had long since let go of the fact that she and Gu Qingchen were not meant to be together. She shook her head slightly and said:

"Not really.

He betrayed me first, and I want to see him lose miserably with my own eyes."

Xiao Jingheng's anxious heart finally settled down, he relaxed his frown and said comfortingly:

"Junior sister, evildoers will be punished by heaven. Those who have harmed you in the past will suffer the consequences sooner or later."

As time passed, Gu Qingchen led his troops and finally arrived at the lair of the remnants of the rebels. The sound of horse hooves resounded like thunder in the remote valley outside the city, shaking the entire earth.

Gu Qingchen frowned, moved his ears, looked around vigilantly, raised his hand and signaled:

"stop!"

The army stopped immediately. The soldiers did not dare to relax and remained vigilant at all times. Holding spears and shields, they rushed forward closely and formed an indestructible wall of defense.

In front of the army was a pitch-black wilderness without even a hint of fireworks.

This is a valley, surrounded by steep mountains, dark and overwhelming, like a huge mouth of the abyss swallowing up the entire earth.

Gu Qingchen pulled the reins, raised his spear, and encouraged the morale:

"Soldiers, be alert. Defending our country is our mission and responsibility. We must wipe out the remnants of the rebels tonight!"

The soldiers responded in unison:

"My subordinates will definitely fulfill their mission!"

The sound resounded throughout the night sky like a thunderbolt, startling the crows resting on the branches.

Gu Qingchen looked at the soldiers with great satisfaction. They were all very excited. He gave an order:

"Divide your troops into two groups. One group will attack from the front, and the other group will attack from the side. We must wipe out the remaining rebels in one fell swoop. Let's start the action!"

The soldiers received the order loudly and immediately went into action.

At the same time, the remnants of the rebels who were lurking in the dark and exploring the way ahead discovered this sudden and massive army, began to panic, and took separate actions.

One of them was faster and took a shortcut to report the situation to the leader, allowing the large group that was on the way to turn around quickly.

In order to buy some time for their accomplices, the remaining people decided to bite the bullet and deal with this army.

The remnants of the rebels deliberately made some noise to attract the attention of the soldiers, then turned around and ran deep into the woods.

At this time, a soldier spotted the shadowy figures and shouted:

"There's someone over there, go chase him!"

For a moment, the flash of swords and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

The soldiers rushed forward, determined to wipe out the remnants of the rebels completely.

Gu Qingchen rode on his warhorse, waving his spear and shouting:

"Soldiers, charge! Whoever takes the head of the rebel leader will be rewarded handsomely!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers were filled with fighting spirit and acted decisively, wanting to cut the Gordian knot.

Gu Qingchen was well-versed in the art of war and knew that one had to capture the leader first, so he spurred his horse and galloped towards the depths of the valley.

He guessed that the rebel leader would never show up easily, and there would definitely be no rebel leader in the team sent to attack the palace.

Perhaps the rebel leader's move was a feint to the east and an attack to the west, intending to catch the cicada while the oriole was waiting behind.

Little did he know that when he reached the depths of the valley, he found everything around him quiet, with only a small wooden house with a dim candlelight on, and the sound of a woman's moans coming from inside.
