The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

There were twelve people in their group. Except for Master Han Yang and Master Xuan, the other nine people like Bai Yi were death guards given by the Queen, responsible for protecting his safety.

According to Bai Yi and his team, their main purpose in the Paracel Islands this time was to collect intelligence and report it back to the main army.

After dealing with this group of people tonight, they will have to return to Yumen.

They divided into two groups, Han Yang led one team, and then there was Bai Yi and Kang Ge'er's team.

"When I get back this time, I'll write home and ask them to send more instant noodles. This is the most convenient thing to eat when you stay out overnight."

Kang Ge'er said this while touching his belly.

"Why? Didn't you get scolded last time?"

Old Xuan turned over and sat up. The Western barbarian who had died with his eyes open next to him had already closed his eyes.

He had secretly read the thick stack of letters last time, and it was estimated that half of them were scolding him.

I have to say, the truth about Master Xuan has been revealed.

Kang Ge'er still dares not to look at those letters a second time.

He just watched it and was so upset that he almost cried in his dreams when he thought about it at night.

The scolding was really harsh.

It was the second day after Kang Ge'er left. He left at night and the incident was discovered the next day.

At first, no one paid much attention. Since they didn't see Kang Ge'er, they all thought he was practicing martial arts in the martial arts academy.

At noon, the person who delivered the meal did not see anyone in the yard. He felt that something was wrong and quickly notified the master of the mansion.

"Master Wu said that breakfast was not required the next day, and lunch could be delivered on time. We servants did not notice anything wrong, so we delivered lunch at noon as instructed by the master, and then we realized that no one was there."

"Madam, when we heard that no one was at the Martial Academy, we realized that we hadn't seen our eldest brother this morning."

The servants below knelt on the ground. Lu had just woken up and propped herself up to sit on top, interrogating the people below.

At this time, Song Shengfu walked in with a cane. She walked in a hurry and barely took a breath.

He coughed violently several times after coming in, and only felt better after being fed two cups of warm water.

"What's going on?! I heard the servants in the courtyard say that Kang Ge'er is missing, and they couldn't explain why, so I just came here."

Seeing her mother coming, Mrs. Lu tried to hold herself together but suddenly collapsed.

"Mother, Kang Ge'er is missing. And his master is missing too. I guess, I guess..."

Lu couldn't utter those words.

Today is the day when the army swore an oath to set out from the capital. Duan Jingzong and Duan Jingan bid farewell to the capital along with all the officials and have not returned yet.

"Send someone to guard it. When all the officials return to the capital, immediately invite Lord Bo and the Fourth Master back and tell them that something serious has happened at home."

Song Shengfu immediately sent someone to wait at the city gate, making sure to invite the two men in her family back as soon as possible.

"Don't panic, tell me everything in detail."

"I should have noticed something was wrong with him earlier. He's been so clingy these past few days, spending the entire day either with you, mother, or with me and his father. I never knew he had such a big thing on his mind and ran off without even telling his family."

When Lu saw Song Shengfu, she felt like she had found support. She knelt beside her and cried while hugging her.

"He was mysteriously saying yesterday that he had prepared something and would show it to me today, and I was..."

At this point, Lu stopped crying and looked at Song Shengfu with tears in her eyes.

……

When Duan Jingzong and Duan Jingan received the news and hurried back, they happened to meet Ding Meishu who had just returned home with her child.

She returned to her parents' home early this morning and was rushing back just after receiving the news.

When the three of them arrived at the main courtyard, they saw an expressionless old lady and Mrs. Lu who was crying breathlessly.

"Sister-in-law, what's going on?"

Ding Meishu quickly stepped forward and helped Lu wipe her tears.

Lu collapsed in her arms, unable to utter a word.

Seeing Lu's expression, Song Shengfu's voice became hoarse when she spoke.

"Brother Kang has gone to Xiyang Yumen."

"what?!"

Duan Jingzong and the others couldn't believe their ears. What did it mean that Kang Ge'er went to Yumen? There was a war going on in Yumen right now. What was he going there for?

"See for yourselves."

Song Shengfu's head felt a little swollen, and her blood and energy surged up, but she suppressed it forcefully.

This kid is too bold. If he talks to me nicely, I won't disagree. At least we can work out a solution together.

He probably left without taking anything with him.

I don't know if it was a momentary impulse or what.

Duan Jingzong took it first. It was a piece of densely written letter paper.

He read it quickly, and after finishing it, he felt dizzy and almost fell down.

Fortunately, Duan Jing'an next to him supported him and helped him sit down on the armchair beside him.

His personal servant took out a pill and helped him take it.

Duan Jing'an took the letter, read it, looked up at his mother in disbelief, and then looked at his heartbroken sister-in-law.

This letter was left by Kang Ge'er.

Dear Mother:

Mother, oh no, it should be grandmother, mother, father, uncle and aunt. When you see this letter, I will probably have left the capital.

You don't need to come look for me. I didn't follow the team from the capital. Instead, I traveled west with my master and some other people. We were going to Xiyang Yumen.

I don’t want to stay in Beijing all my life. If I am destined to travel far away, I hope I will take the initiative.

As the eldest grandson in the family, I'm aware of my responsibilities and obligations. ... This opportunity didn't come easily, and I think I should seize it.

You don't have to worry about me, I have people protecting me.

Take good care of yourselves at home. Grandma, don't overeat, or you'll be a toothless old lady when I get back. Mom, don't overwork yourself; get plenty of rest. And Dad, stop poring over those sketchbooks of yours, you get so lost in them. Uncle's busy with work, so don't forget to keep Bao Bao company. And Aunt, don't worry about what people outside say. I'll be back soon, and if you become a general, I'll have your back.

And my cousin Wei and brother Xuan, I left letters for you both and put them in the box I gave you.

I know you will be angry, but I have no regrets.

Please take care of yourself and wait for me to come back.

I will always think of you.

"Nonsense!"

Duan Jing'an was a little angry. He was not angry about Kang Ge'er's departure, but about his own actions. He did such a big thing without telling his family.

"Send someone to look for it first, just in case they find it."

Duan Jing'an gave an order and sent several groups of people to search for the eldest brother along the road from the capital to Xiyang.

"Inside the palace..."

Everyone was in a dilemma at this time. This matter could not be concealed, and no one knew whether Kang Ge'er was in the capital's team or somewhere else.

If you sneak into the capital's troops, it would be a serious crime.

"I go."

After Song Shengfu finished speaking, she fainted.
