A special forces soldier traveled through time and space to become a genius of literature and martia

Soon, Yuan Ying arrived at the vermilion gate of the Duke's Mansion with light footsteps. When the gatekeeper saw her, he smiled and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her warmly while leading Yuan Ying to the mansion.

After entering the mansion, I walked along the corridor towards the hall. Before I reached the hall, I saw Princess Dunchun sitting there, carefully tending to her beloved wintersweet. The warm winter sun shone through the carved window lattices into the hall, adding a bit of warmth to the room and making the wintersweet even more beautiful.

Seeing this, Yuan Ying smiled warmly and called out in a crisp voice, "Hello, Auntie!"

Princess Dunchun paused when she heard the voice, looked up at Yuan Ying with surprise in her eyes, and then smiled and joked, "Hey, Xiaoying, how come you have time to come here today? You are usually a very busy person as the prime minister's niece-in-law, and you rarely come to my Duke's Mansion."

Yuan Ying smiled, raised the letter in his hand, and said, "Aunt, this is a letter from Song Yanshu to Zhichu."

Princess Dunchun was stunned at first, but then she reacted and couldn't help laughing. Her eyes were full of relief. She nodded and said with a smile: "Haha, this kid finally got it. He knows how to write a letter to express his feelings to his wife. He is really thoughtful."

After saying that, Princess Dunchun turned around and told the servant beside her: "Go, invite the lady out." Then, she smiled and said to Yuan Ying: "Little Eagle, come and sit down. We must have a good chat today. Try my top-quality Xuezhongcui tea. This tea is hard to come by."

After receiving the order, the servant quickly walked to the backyard to invite Qin Zhichu out, while Yuan Ying smiled and walked to sit next to Princess Dunchun. After a while, Qin Zhichu came out and saw Yuan Ying in the hall and happily stepped forward and said, "Princess, you are here."

Princess Dunchun smiled and said, "Zhichu, please stop calling me princess. It sounds so strange. You should follow Yanshu's way of addressing her and call her Fifth Sister-in-law. It will sound more intimate this way."

Yuan Ying, who was listening at the side, also laughed and echoed, "Yes, Zhichu, from now on, just call me Fifth Sister-in-law."

Qin Zhichu called out, "Fifth sister-in-law." It really seemed to bring the two closer.

Yuan Ying smiled and nodded.

Princess Dunchun saw this and said happily: "Your fifth sister-in-law came to give you a letter, and Yanshu wrote you a letter."

Qin Zhichu's eyes curved into crescent shapes when he heard this, and his tone was filled with uncontrollable joy: "Fifth sister-in-law, is it true? Yanshu actually wrote me a letter?"

Yuan Ying smiled and took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to her, saying, "Of course it's true."

Qin Zhichu carefully took the letter, as if it was some rare treasure, and gently stroked the envelope before slowly opening it. After unfolding the letter, he thought for a moment, then smiled and handed the letter to Princess Dunchun, saying respectfully, "Mother, please read it first."

Princess Dunchun was stunned at first, but then she reacted and couldn't help laughing. Her laughter echoed in the hall, full of heartiness and kindness.

She waved her hands repeatedly, and said jokingly with a smile: "Silly child, Yanshu wrote this to you. Why would an old woman like me read the letter between you and your wife?"

Then, Princess Dunchun seemed to suddenly remember something. After a brief thought, she smiled and said to Qin Zhichu, "You, go back to your room and take your time. I just want to talk to Xiaoying here. We haven't talked for a long time."

Qin Zhichu replied softly with a "yes", and bowed obediently. Then he held the letter and walked briskly towards his room. His back showed an unconcealable joy.

He returned to his room and opened the letter without even closing the door, and began to read it word by word.

Looking at the formal words in the letter, Qin Zhichu was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but burst out laughing. This Duke usually looked calm and dignified, but he didn't expect that he would be so dull and reserved when writing letters.

However, she opened her eyes wide, afraid of missing a word. Although there were no sweet words in the letter, the concern between the lines warmed her heart. In the letter, Yanshu asked about her recent situation, told her to take care of her health, and mentioned some interesting things in the southwest in recent days. His words were full of warmth.

As Qin Zhichu read on, her eyes couldn't help but become slightly red. At least her emotional investment was rewarded, although it was a little slow. But she was very content and cherished this friendship that spanned thousands of miles.

She gently smoothed out the letter and read it carefully again before carefully putting the letter away and placing it in her most precious jewelry box.

After doing all this, Qin Zhichu's mood could not calm down for a long time. The feeling of missing him was like the rising tide, surging in her heart wave after wave. She wanted to write a letter back to Yanshu immediately, so that she could tell him all her overflowing thoughts and concerns at the moment.

But then she thought again, she felt guilty about always asking her fifth sister-in-law to help deliver letters, and was afraid that she was causing her too much trouble.

Qin Zhichu just sat there, frowning slightly, biting his lips, thinking over and over again, his heart was tangled. But the longing in his heart was like a flood that broke through all his worries.

Then, she sat down at the desk, spread out the paper, ground the ink, and prepared to write a long letter to Song Yanshu. She recalled every bit of her time with Song Yanshu while writing, and the words she wrote were full of tenderness.

"My beloved brother Yanshu: I am glad to read your letter. I am so happy to read it. Your words are like your gentle smile, which jumps out on the paper, which makes me feel infinitely happy..."

As she wrote, her cheeks turned slightly red. The concerns and longings that she was usually too embarrassed to express out loud now flowed onto the letter paper with the ink.

Then, she thought of Yanshu's somewhat introverted personality and what expression he would have when he read her letter, and she couldn't help but laugh softly.

At this time, in the hall, Princess Dunchun and Yuan Ying were chatting happily, sometimes laughing loudly, sometimes whispering, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. Yuan Ying poured tea for Princess Dunchun from time to time, enjoying this rare leisure time.

Soon, Qin Zhichu came out with a letter in his hand and said embarrassedly, "Fifth sister-in-law, I...I would like to trouble you to deliver a letter for me." As he said that, he handed the letter in his hand to Yuan Ying, his face full of embarrassment and expectation.

Yuan Ying took the letter and said with a smile, "What's the trouble? I'm happy to do it. Let Fang Yang bring Brother Ying to the Duke's Mansion to introduce himself to the Duke's Mansion. From now on, the letters will be delivered directly to you. Before Song Yanshu comes back, Brother Ying will be your messenger."

Qin Zhichu heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He nodded and thanked her quickly: "That's great, thank you so much, sister-in-law, you really helped me a lot."

Yuan Ying smiled and shook his head, saying, "Do we really need to be so polite to each other? Besides, I'm very happy to be able to help you."

Princess Dunchun watched the two of them from the side, her eyes full of relief and love.

After Yuan Ying and Qin Zhichu exchanged some details about the academy, Princess Dunchun kept them for dinner and then they left the Duke's Mansion.

Yuan Ying left the Duke's Mansion. As night fell, a faint chill set in. Yuan Ying walked along the familiar street toward Prince Jing's Mansion, thinking of Murong Xuanyi, with a faint smile on his face.

Suddenly, several ghostly figures flashed out, and the sharp blades in their hands flashed a cold light in the night, and stabbed towards Yuan Ying fiercely.

After all, Yuan Ying was an extraordinary fighter. Her years of vigilance allowed her to instantly detect something unusual. She subconsciously dodged to the side and narrowly avoided the fatal blow. She steadied herself, her face became solemn, and she looked sharply at the secret guard who suddenly appeared, shouting, "Who are you? How dare you assassinate me here!"

The men in black did not answer, but snorted coldly, and swung the sharp blades in their hands again, each move was fierce, and went straight to Yuan Ying's vital points. Yuan Ying was also not vague, and quickly pulled out a dagger from his waist, and immediately collided with the sharp blade, making bursts of crisp sounds, and sparks flew for a while.

Several people fought back and forth in this narrow street corner, and it was difficult to tell who was fighting. Yuan Ying was secretly surprised. These assassins were really skilled and their moves were ruthless. They were obviously well-trained people, not ordinary assassins. She did not dare to be careless at all, and she was concentrating on dealing with every move and every style, but she was also wondering in her heart who sent this assassin. How dare he assassinate openly.
