Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator

Chapter 410: Protecting His Wife (1)

Although it was a very common phrase, it sounded a little strange to He Changdi when it finally filtered into his mind. He felt like there was a double meaning to the word care, especially after he had experienced more intimate contact with his wife

Thus, the tips of He Sanlangs ears started turning a little red.

Captain Guo and the others didnt notice this little detail. At most, they just thought that He Sanlangs expression seemed slightly awkward.

However, they werent bothered about such minute changes amongst brothers.

The men sat down at the center of the tent.

As He Changdi removed his sword from his waist, Zhang Mai glanced at him and asked, Have you found the culprit behind this?

He Sanlang looked at his brothers and said a single name.

Xiao Bojian.

Although his tone hadnt changed, Captain Guo was able to sense the deep hatred for the man in his heart.

Zhang Mai furrowed his brows. His surprise showed in his voice as he asked, Ive never heard of this name before, how is he involved in this?

Captain Guos home was in the capital and he exchanged letters with his wife and children regularly, so he knew a little more about the news in the capital compared to Zhang Mai. He frowned as well, That person is this years top scholar for the imperial examinations. His good name has spread through the whole city. Hes Old Duke Yings disciple.

When the mention of Duke Ying came up, Captain Guo shot a meaningful look at He Changdi as his expression turned a little strange.

Xiao Hongyu was lying on his bed. His lips tilted to one side, That old man Duke Ying must be really blind. Hes raised a feral wolf by his side without knowing.

The young Xiao Hongyu had somehow stumbled upon the truth of it.

He Sanlang sat down and poured himself a cup of tea. After holding up the cup and taking a small sip, his brows drew together and set down the cup. It was clear he didnt like the mixed taste of sencha. He licked his lips and realised that Chu Lians sickly sweet honey water was actually better than sencha.

Although House Ying is linked to me in marriage, were not close to House Ying.

He Sanlang had put it nicely. Not only were they not close to House Ying, Chu Lian probably would never want to go back.

He Changdi brought his fingers together and touched the green Hetian jade ring on his right thumb before continuing, Xiao Bojian is currently the secretary of the northwestern army encamped in Su City.

This time, Captain Guo and Zhang Mais expressions both changed.

Surprise and bewilderment showed on their faces. They had never expected a newly minted top scholar to have climbed his way up the ranks in court so quickly!

When Captain Guo noticed the darkness swirling in He Changdis eyes, he startled a little and held down Sanlangs shoulder. We have to think about this in the long term, dont be rash.

He Sanlang looked helplessly at his two older brothers, Brother Guo, Brother Zhang, dont worry about me. Im not an impulsive person.

In his past life, he had already suffered enough torture under the hands of that adulterous couple. How would he fall for their tricks once again? Once bitten, twice shy, but he had already been bitten more than just once!

Although He Changdi was young, even Great General Qian placed utmost trust in him, let alone his band of brothers.

Zhang Mai patted He Changdis shoulder in comfort. However, he added on, Theres one more thing.

He Sanlang looked up at Zhang Mai in slight confusion.

You probably dont know this yet since you just came back to camp, but the traitor in our camp has been caught. It was Gao Zhangwei. Zhang Mais expression was grave, as were his words.

Although Gao Zhangwei didnt get along with their Right Wing Army and constantly went against them in the northern border troops, conflict within an army was one thing and selling out their country was another.

Even if they fought within the army ranks, there wouldnt be any grudges left once one side won. However, if they betrayed the entire army by colluding with the enemy, the entire army would look down on them.

Who could have expected Gao Zhangwei to have done such a thing?!

Great General Qian was also both shocked and angry. He immediately decided to have Gao Zhangwei executed under the flagpoles of the border camp.

He Changdi was a little startled. He remembered that Gao Zhangweis collusion with the enemy hadnt been discovered in his past life. Not only that, he had even earned a lot of merit from this war and had later been personally titled General Changping by the Emperor himself. He had also been awarded a noble rank along with the title.

Thoughts swirled in He Sanlangs eyes. Although Gao Zhangwei was narrow-minded, he didnt have much courage to do anything. If he had really sent secret military information to the Tuhuns, then there had to be a mastermind behind it.

The execution will be held tomorrow. In order to send a warning to the whole army, the general will be doing the execution himself in front of the two wings and the female army. We have to be present as well.

On this night, everyone was able to set aside the worries in their hearts to have a good nights rest. Even the burdened He Sanlang was no exception.

Since the Tuhun army had already been defeated, it wasnt too appropriate for Chu Lian to continue staying in the camp. The next morning, He Changdi escorted her back to Liangzhou Citys He Estate, along with his subordinates and House Jingans private soldiers.

He Changdi didnt sit in the warm pen together with Chu Lian this time, and stayed on horseback next to the snowboat instead.

Mo Chenggui was following right behind him, his old face wrinkled up. He stared at He Changdi for a long time with his lips parted and a conflicted expression. In the end, he wasnt able to say a single word.

He Changdi cast a neutral glance at him before speaking, Uncle Mo, if you think that you shouldnt speak up, then dont speak at all. Keep your words to yourself forever.

Mo Chenggui was startled by the frank words and hurriedly chased up to He Changdi on his horse. He looked around them first before asking He Sanlang in a low tone, Third Young Master, when Third Young Madam was taken away
