Chapter 735: Scheming Cousin and Cold-blooded General 11

*

Bai Zhu came to Yunshuiju early in the morning at the usual time, but he didn't expect that Ji Siyan was already practicing sword in the yard of Yunshuiju.

He was wearing a plain robe with narrow sleeves, holding a sword in his hand with a slightly frowned brow and a stern expression. His moves were swift and sharp, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and it seemed that he had been practicing for some time.

"Greetings, Major General."

Bai Zhu walked over quickly, bowed and saluted, then raised his head with a look of surprise and said:

"When did the young general get up today? He got up so early..."

"Half an hour ago."

Ji Siyan said lightly, slowly put his sword into the scabbard and put it aside, then picked up the teacup on the stone table and took a sip.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhu couldn't help but show an expression of admiration towards Ji Siyan. He raised his hand and bowed with his eyes shining.

"As expected of a major general, you get up early and study martial arts diligently, and are strict with yourself. You are a role model for our generation."

Ji Siyan's hand holding the teacup suddenly paused, and he pursed his lips somewhat unnaturally. He cleared his throat twice as if feeling guilty and said:

"Are you here to see me for something important?"

"Reporting to Major General, the Qi family's spies have sent a secret report that they have found out that the Qi family is closely related to the embezzlement of military funds. The people they sent have already tracked them to Linyang City."

Bai Zhu's expression became solemn and serious. He bowed again and said urgently:

"I think we should immediately go south to investigate under the pretext of returning to the barracks to lead the troops. If we delay for a few days, Duke Qi will probably withdraw his men, and we won't be able to find any evidence."

"Well, then... let's set off immediately."

Ji Siyan frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.

"But I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to His Majesty."

Bai Shu paused after he finished speaking, because he knew that His Majesty did not seem to want the young general to continue to wade into this muddy water. He sighed to himself and said:

"Young General, you have outstanding abilities and the power to command the three armies. Your Majesty still cares about you very much..."

"care……"

Ji Siyan's voice was deep, and his stern eyes became darker. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but his fists clenched slightly.

"I just don't know if it's because of the victory or because..."

He murmured softly and closed his mouth halfway through the words. Before Bai Zhu had time to think more, Ji Siyan called him to prepare the horse.

*

Yun Wu had washed and dressed herself up and was preparing to go look for Ji Yao first, and then go to pay her respects to Madam Ji together. However, as soon as she walked out of the yard, she saw Bai Zhu waiting outside Yunshuiju with two horses.

Ji Siyan, wearing black riding clothes, strode out of the yard with a stern expression and handsome features.

I don't know what Bai Zhu said to him, he just nodded slightly and prepared to get on the horse.

"wait wait wait!"

Ji Siyan paused when he was about to mount the horse, and when he turned around, he saw a petite figure walking towards him hurriedly with her skirt lifted up.

It’s Yun Wu.

Ji Siyan silently put down his foot that had just stepped on the stirrup and waited patiently for the girl to quickly walk up to him.

Perhaps because she walked too fast, Yun Wu's fair cheeks were slightly flushed, and her bright eyes were slightly misty as she looked at Ji Siyan.

Ji Siyan couldn't help but think of the dream he had last night... He blushed for some reason and had to frown to suppress the irritability and embarrassment in his heart.

"Cousin, are you going out?"

Yun Wu's voice was soft and weak. She had been thinking of taking advantage of her victory today to improve Ji Siyan's favorability, but then she saw that he seemed to be going out.

"The young general has military duties to attend to and will leave the capital today."

Bai Zhu spoke first. Yun Wu was stunned at first, and then an obvious look of disappointment appeared on her pretty face.

"I will only be gone for a few days and then return to the capital."

Ji Siyan couldn't help but speak, but his face remained calm.

Hearing this, Yun Wu knew in her heart that her plan must have succeeded, and perhaps Ji Siyan already treated her as his sister.

In that case, let's get closer by addressing each other...

"Then... Brother Si Yan, be careful on your journey and come back soon."

Yun Wu's voice was weak, and then she lowered her eyes and stood there meekly.

"If someone bullies you when I'm not around, don't tolerate it, just fight back. I'll be the one to make the decision when I'm back."

Ji Siyan frowned slightly and said this, he thought of the scene where Yun Wu was bullied by Fang Xinyue and others at the Duke's Mansion.

He suddenly felt that a woman as weak as her would certainly not dare to fight back, and could only swallow her anger. What's more, he would be away for a while and could not protect her.

That's why Ji Siyan said that, teaching her that she could use the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion or his reputation, and not be afraid of others, because he would take responsibility if anything went wrong.

"it is good……"

Yun Wu nodded obediently, feeling relieved that she had achieved her goal of getting him to protect her.

The two of them stood face to face like this. Ji Siyan seemed to have something else to say, but when the words came to his lips, he took them back with his ears slightly red.

Ji Siyan thought that if she brought up marriage now, as a girl, she would inevitably feel embarrassed, so she should wait until he finished settling things and came back.

He secretly clenched his fists as if he had made up his mind, then took off the jade pendant that had been hanging on his body and handed it to Yun Wu.

"I haven't given you anything since you came into the mansion. From now on, I'll give you this..."

"For me?"

Yun Wu raised her head in surprise, her pink lips slightly parted, looking silly and somewhat cute.

Ji Siyan stared at her fair pink lips, his eyes darkened and he couldn't help but pursed his lips.

He had tasted it in his dream...it was sweet.

His ears turned red and his expression became more solemn. He just silently stuffed the jade pendant into Yun Wu's hand.

At this time, Yun Wu's little brain was also working fast. This jade pendant was obviously an extremely valuable item. Its texture was transparent and lustrous and it was not an ordinary item.

She felt somewhat embarrassed, so she had to give something in return. If he happened to see her when he was out, he might think of her and miss his poor cousin!

Yun Wu thought about it in her mind, quickly searched the things in her sleeve pocket, and then took out a small jade token from her sleeve.

The color and texture are not as good as the jade pendant given by Ji Siyan, and the size is only a thin piece.

"I, I also have something to give to Brother Si Yan, so I came here just now..."

Yun Wu told a lie with a slightly blushing face, and handed the jade token to Ji Siyan somewhat embarrassedly.

"I prayed for this item at the temple. It can bring me peace of mind and safety..."

"I'll keep it well."

Ji Siyan's voice was deep and serious. He carefully put away the jade token, as if he was handling an extremely precious and rare treasure.

Then he turned around and climbed onto the horse's back with a clean and neat movement, holding the reins and looking back at Yun Wu.

"Wait until I come back...Awu."

Yun Wu did not hear clearly the call he made from behind. Although Yun Wu always felt that Ji Siyan was strange today, when she thought about the fact that Ji Siyan was not interested in women and had a cold temperament, the strange feeling in her heart disappeared.

Bai Zhu was so angry that his eyes were about to burst into flames. The jade pendant was something the major general had worn since he was a child, and it seemed to be a relic of his mother who had passed away long ago.

But Ji Siyan had already mounted his horse, so he had no choice but to mount his horse and follow Ji Siyan towards the alley behind the gate.

*

Not long after, the delicate cousin was squatting by the wall of her yard. In front of her was a puppy that had just crawled out of a dog hole in the grass.

"I'm sorry, Xiaobai. I'll buy you another jade plaque tomorrow and put it on it. Um... I'll also carve your name on it."

Yun Wu said this apologetically and gently touched the little white dog's head.

It barked twice and wagged its tail even more happily. Its round body swayed as it lay at Yun Wu's feet and acted coquettishly.
