Du Manting was very excited after talking with Dong Jiafu. She felt that her decision to return to Beijing was absolutely the right one. Not only could she apologize to her grandmother and aunt, but she could also read the new script of "Future Visitors".

The carriage stopped and Cui Qiyan said outside: "Get off and rest for a while before going on."

Upon hearing this, Du Manting lifted the curtain and got off the carriage in a good mood.

"Hey, there is a stream here." She walked towards the stream not far away.

Cui Qiyan helped Dong Jiafu down, "Did she say anything unpleasant again?"

Dong Jiafu smiled and shook her head. "Besides the unpleasant words, she can still say something else. And now she needs our help, so she has to be more restrained. If she dares to say the same thing as before, I will definitely not indulge her and will kick her out directly."

Seeing her serious expression, Cui Qiyan laughed, "Yes, if you are unhappy, just kick her out. But remember to call me before kicking her out. She knows Kung Fu, and I am afraid you will suffer."

The two of them seemed to have teamed up to do something bad. Dong Jiafu smiled with her eyebrows curved. She looked at Du Manting and saw that she was squatting by the stream playing in the water. It was so cold, but she was not afraid of freezing her hands.

Dong Jiafu couldn't help but shiver just by looking at it.

"Are you cold?" Cui Qiyan took off his cloak and gave it to her.

"No, I'm worried about Miss Du being cold." Dong Jiafu explained quickly, "Don't bother me, I'm leaving soon..."

Cui Qiyan tied the cloak around her and said, "Put it on. We still have to wait for a while."

"What are you waiting for?" Dong Jiafu was puzzled. He knew she wanted to go back as soon as possible.

Cui Qiyan was about to speak when he suddenly looked up in the direction he came from, "The person I'm waiting for is here."

Dong Jiafu turned around and saw two men riding towards her.

The two men dismounted and saluted directly towards Cui Qiyan.

"This must be Lord Cui."

Cui Qiyan pointed to the stream and said, "The person you are looking for is there."

At this time, Du Manting had also stood up and walked over angrily.

"You were the one who told them my whereabouts, despicable!"

Cui Qiyan turned his head away and said, "Miss Du went to the capital without telling General Du. If she had gone on her own, it would have been fine, but since she followed us, of course I had to let her know."

"Girl, the general is very worried about you, please go back with us." said one of them.

Du Manting spread her hands, "You can see that I'm fine. Go back and tell my father that I miss my grandmother and want to go to Beijing to visit her."

The man looked embarrassed and looked at his companion.

"But we are ordered by the general to take the girl back to Liangzhou."

"I won't go back! I will go to the capital today no matter what. Unless you two want to take my body back to see my father, you can't stop me!" Du Manting was determined.

The two of them lowered their heads in fear and said, "We dare not."

"Then hurry up and go. I'll follow..." Du Manting looked away from Cui Qiyan with disgust. "I'll go to the capital with the daughter of Censor Dong. Tell father not to worry. I'll write to him when I get there."

After saying this, Du Manting got on the carriage without paying attention to everyone's eyes.

The two people who had come all the way to find him had no choice but to say to Cui Qiyan and Dong Jiafu, "Misses, thank you for your help. We will definitely go back and report to the general and thank you generously."

"No need to thank me, as long as General Du knows about this matter, it will be fine. We still have to hurry on our way, bye."

Cui Qiyan sent Dong Jiafu to the carriage, then rode on his horse and sped forward.

In the carriage, Du Manting was still furious, and she said to Dong Jiafu, "I really don't know why you and Fang Sui like that person. He is cunning and sinister, and simply evil!"

Dong Jiafu said faintly: "I don't know about others, but I think he is right to do so."

"You... Humph, no wonder you two can be together, it turns out you are birds of a feather."

"Miss Du, if you don't like us so much, why do you insist on following us? We didn't force you to sit here."

A man has to bow his head under the eaves. Du Manting's arrogance suddenly subsided and she muttered, "If my injuries hadn't healed and I couldn't ride a fast horse, I wouldn't come here to suffer such humiliation."

"It was Miss Du who lied to us first. General Du obviously didn't know you were going to the capital, or even to Xizhou. You were afraid to go back and face him, so you wanted to hide in the capital."

Dong Jiafu should have thought of this earlier. If General Du agreed to let her go to Xizhou, how could he let her come alone? The war was dangerous, and she didn't even have anyone to protect her.

Even if she is a skilled martial artist, General Du should not be so confident.

Since what she said was exactly right, Du Manting had nothing to hide.

"Yes, I came here secretly after learning that the Northern Di had raided Xizhou. I am a citizen of the Great Yin, and I cannot stand by and watch the Northern Di bully us. Since my father is not in a position to send troops, I will come here on my own!"

"I didn't go back with them because I was afraid that my father would be angry and I was also afraid that he would be hurt. Although my father didn't say it, I knew he would be heartbroken. I didn't want him to be sad, and I didn't want him to stop letting me go to the battlefield because of this."

After listening to this, Dong Jiafu was silent for a moment, took the medicine box from the side, lowered her head and found the medicine for the wound.

"You've been out for so long, it's time to change the dressing on your wound."

Du Manting was stunned, then untied her belt.

In the evening, Cui Qiyan found an inn to stay in.

Although Du Manting didn't look at him directly when she got off the car, she wasn't that angry anymore.

The victory report of Xizhou and the news of the death of Marquis Zhongjing were reported back to the capital. From the emperor to the common people, everyone was happy about the great victory over the Northern Di army. At the same time, they were sad and regretful for the loss of the god of war of Great Yin.

At the Marquis Zhongjing's mansion, Zhou was devastated after learning about this, "How could this happen... Why didn't that evil creature die?"

She gripped the edge of the table, and the veins on her hands bulged from the force.

"The Marquis died, and that evil creature made great contributions. Why did God treat me like this?"

Mother Wang said, "Madam, the most important thing right now is to help Master win the title of Marquis."

Zhou suddenly raised her head, "The Marquis is gone, the title should belong to Wen Chen, he is the Marquis's only legitimate son!"

"That being said, the Third Master has just made great contributions, and His Majesty has valued him so much before. I am also worried that something unexpected will happen."

"Bang!" Zhou slammed the table. "How dare he! How dare a lowly concubine like him dream of inheriting the title of Marquis? Even if the emperor favors him, he cannot disregard the ancestral rules!"

"What if...what if someone finds me wrong?" Mother Wang stammered.

"Please explain clearly. Wen Chen has always followed the rules. How could he have done anything wrong?"

"I saw the master coming out of the third master's yard last night..."

Zhou frowned, "What is he doing at that evil creature's residence?"

Mother Wang made up her mind and said, "I guess that the master went to have a secret meeting with Miss Qingyan."

"What did you say?!" Zhou stood up suddenly. "You must have been blinded by age and mistakenly identified the person. How could Wen Chen have a secret meeting with that bitch from a brothel?"
