Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Mrs. Zhang's courtyard is small, but the scenery is very exquisite.

Walking inward along the courtyard gate and around several rockery, the scenery in front of you suddenly opens up. In the middle of a small lake stands a small and exquisite pavilion. Xie Qingli likes to sit here the most.

At this moment, she was leaning on the railing, feeding the fish casually, thinking about a question in her mind: Why did Xie Tingyu appear here?

In her previous life, she first met Xie Tingyu after entering the Marquis' Mansion. At that time, Xie Tingyu's right hand had been crippled. Although he was the eldest son of the Marquis' Mansion, he was despised by Old Lady Xie and Xie Jingyuan.

Later, Xie Qingli inquired around and learned that it seemed that Xie Tingyu had messed up an important mission. Not only did he injure his own hand during the mission and could no longer serve as an official, but he also caused the Marquis' Mansion and the Jiang Family to be angered by Emperor Yingtian.

At that time, she was just a small maid with limited available connections. She tried to inquire from many sources but could not find out what the errand was.

Now that I think about it, the matter must be something that even the Jiang family cannot cover up. Considering the death of the prince in the previous life, and the fact that Chu Yuncang and Xie Tingyu appeared here at the same time in this life, it is not difficult to guess that the mission was Chu Yuncang's visit to Jiazhou.

In this life, Chu Yuncang has escaped danger and Xie Tingyu's hand is not injured, so the war in the previous life could have been avoided, right?

In the previous life, Chu Yuncang died. Some people witnessed that he was killed by Xiao Yan, the second prince of Nanjing. Dongling deployed troops in the southwest to fight against Nanjing, but the southwest garrison rebelled, causing Dongling to retreat step by step. Emperor Yingtian ordered my grandfather to lead part of the Jiang family army to support the southwest battlefield. After several fierce battles, the defeat was reversed.

However, Fengqian and Linyuan took the opportunity to attack the northwest of Dongling. The three uncles led the Northwest Army to fight desperately and paid a heavy price before they managed to stop the coalition forces of the two countries.

By the time my grandfather quelled the war in the southwest and returned to the northwest, my eldest uncle and second uncle had died in the battlefield, and my youngest uncle was also seriously injured. My grandfather was deeply shocked, and the Jiang family was severely damaged.

The war lasted for more than a year, and the people of both countries were displaced, suffered devastating losses, and suffered countless casualties.

In this life, the people will be free from the suffering of war, my uncles will be safe, and the Jiang family will not be damaged. Xie Qingli smiled brightly. Since his rebirth, everything has been good.

Chunya hurried into the pavilion, interrupting Xie Qingli's thoughts. She took the cloak and put it on Xie Qingli, saying with some pride, "When I couldn't find the young lady just now, I guessed that the young lady would be here, and it turned out to be true!"

She paused and urged, "Miss, let's go back quickly! The young man from yesterday, the brother you just recognized, has already come to visit!"

Xie Qingli heard footsteps coming and chuckled, "Everyone's already here, let's meet here! We're all family, no need to worry about those empty formalities!"

Before she finished speaking, Xie Tingyu's cheerful voice came from behind her: "Li'er!"

Xie Qingli turned around and saw four people approaching from afar. The leader was Xie Tingyu, and beside him was a strange man. Uncle Ping and Han Jue followed behind them, staring at Xie Tingyu and the other man with some vigilance.

Xie Qingli took two steps forward, smiled brightly at Xie Tingyu, and called out affectionately, "Big Brother!"

Xie Tingyu responded quickly. He pointed to the man beside him and said, "This is Liuguang, a subordinate of a friend of mine. I will be returning to the northwest soon. Liuguang can protect Li'er while I'm away."

Xie Qingli bowed slightly towards Liuguang and called out solemnly, "Master Liuguang!"

Liuguang nodded slightly, sizing up Xie Qingli, his eyes widening in surprise. The woman before him was wearing a light-colored long dress, her hair flowing like a cicada's, and she wore no makeup. Her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were bright and radiant. How could she possibly be a village girl? Compared to those noble ladies in the capital, she was probably even more beautiful than them.

The master assigned him to investigate Mr. Xie's village girl sister. Did the master make a mistake???

When Xie Tingyu saw Liuguang’s reaction, he felt a little proud. His sister is the best!

Xie Qingli thought to herself that the friend Xie Tingyu was talking about must be Chu Yuncang. She didn't want to have anything to do with Chu Yuncang, so she pointed at Han Jue and said to Xie Tingyu, "Brother, this is my family's guard. He is very skilled in martial arts and most people are no match for him. Having him protect me is enough. There is no need to trouble Master Liuguang!"

When Han Jue heard Xie Qingli praising him like this, he puffed out his chest with some pride. He didn't expect that the young lady thought so highly of him. With him around, there was really no need for any skating!

As soon as Liuguang entered the mansion, he noticed that the guy wearing a childish mask was hostile to him. Now the man's provocative eyes made him even more unhappy. He was always calm and steady, and he couldn't help but want to beat this guy up.

Xie Tingyu also stared at Han Jue with curiosity. The two people beside Li'er, one looks ordinary and hard to remember, while the other is unique and unforgettable. It's really interesting!

Han Jue also felt a little itchy and wanted to test the level of this guy named Liuguang, but Xie Qingli did not say anything, so he did not dare to challenge him actively and could only provoke Liuguang with his eyes.

Liuguang couldn't hold it in any longer and bowed to Han Jue, saying, "Little brother, how about we have a sparring match..."

Before Liuguang could finish, Han Jue jumped onto the railing of the corridor and, after a few leaps, he stood on the top of the rockery. Liuguang was amazed at Han Jue's high level of Qinggong. He had encountered a master today, so he chased after him with some excitement.

Before anyone could react, the two men had already started fighting on top of the rockery. As the Shadow Guard's leader, Liuguang hadn't been provoked like this in a long time. He wanted to teach Han Jue a lesson, while Han Jue was eager to show off in front of Xie Qingli. Both of them used their full strength in their attacks.

After a few moves, Liuguang discovered that Han Jue's martial arts were superior to his. He tried his best, but was forced to retreat again and again. He had never been in such a mess since he officially became a shadow guard.

Seeing Han Jue's ruthless attack, Xie Qingli's eyes turned cold. She gestured slightly to Uncle Ping, and Uncle Ping silently threw two stones. Han Jue and Liuguang were hit by the stones at the same time and both fell to the ground.

Han Jue quickly stood up, rubbed his arm that was hurt by the stone, and looked at Xie Qingli's cold face with some embarrassment. He was so proud of himself that he forgot about the young lady's punishment.

Liuguang's hair was disheveled and his clothes were torn in several places. He looked at Zou Ping in surprise. This man looked ordinary, but his martial arts skills were definitely better than his.

He was extremely frustrated. A dignified shadow guard was beaten back step by a servant and was knocked down by a stone thrown by a groom. He was so ashamed that he hurriedly bowed and said goodbye!

Xie Qingli stared at Liuguang's embarrassed back and thought to himself, is this a subordinate following his master?

Xie Tingyu seemed to have discovered a treasure. He patted Han Jue's shoulder and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad!" With such a powerful servant protecting Li'er, what else did he have to worry about?

……

Over there, Liuguang hurried back to the government office. He wanted to change his clothes, but was stopped by a shadow guard. The shadow guard whispered to him, "Something big has happened. The master is in a worse mood. Go and take a look!"

Liuguang trotted all the way to Chu Yuncang's study. He smoothed his messy hair before going in.

Chu Yuncang was staring at a letter with a frown. It turned out that Xiao Yan was kidnapped to Dongling by the Phantom Pavilion in broad daylight, and now his life or death was unknown. Emperor Nanjing believed that the Phantom Pavilion was a gang rooted in Dongling, and Dongling had the responsibility to help find Xiao Yan and eradicate the Phantom Pavilion. If Dongling could not find Xiao Yan within a month, or if Xiao Yan died in Dongling, Nanjing would not hesitate to set foot in Dongling and personally destroy the Phantom Pavilion.

After the letter from Emperor Nanjing arrived in Shengjing, the court of Dongling was in chaos. The peace faction advocated negotiations with Nanjing to avoid war, while the war faction believed that Nanjing was too bullying and Dongling was not afraid of fighting with Nanjing.

Emperor Yingtian sent a letter ordering Chu Yuncang to lead the Southwest Army and make preparations for war in advance.

Chu Yuncang was a little confused. When he saw Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan didn't look like he was being held hostage. But so many days had passed, why didn't Xiao Yan return to Nanjing?

Hearing the footsteps, Chu Yuncang looked up at Liuguang. He was slightly startled when he saw Liuguang's embarrassed appearance, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he immediately ordered: "Immediately arrange all available shadow guards to search for the Second Prince of Nanjing, Xiao Yan."

He took out a piece of drawing paper and, with just a few strokes, Xiao Yan's image came to life. He handed the paper to Liu Guang and added, "Remember, if he's alive, we must see him. If he's dead, we must see his body. We must not let Xiao Yan die on the land of Dongling."

Liuguang knew that the matter was serious and hurriedly took the order to withdraw.

Chu Yuncang picked up the letter again and murmured softly, "Xiao Yan, now that I am alive, you can't escape the fate in your dream?"
