I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

Hearing what Xiao Yizhuo said, Tang Fusheng shuddered inexplicably and felt cold all over. When he looked up and met Xiao Yizhuo's cold eyes, he was so scared that his legs went weak and he couldn't utter a word.

He gritted his teeth and suppressed the fear in his heart. He did not dare to attack Xiao Yizhuo. He could only glare at Zhao Linhe fiercely, snorted coldly, and turned away.

He wanted to see if Xiao Yizhuo could still protect his wife and three children after he left Beijing!

Xiao Yizhuo looked at Tang Fusheng's back, the coldness in his eyes remained unchanged.

Looks like I need to find some time to deal with all these miscellaneous things.

Zhao Linhe looked at Tang Fusheng's back, still speaking up for Xiao Yizhuo: "This guy is so shameless! What kind of mentality does he have to say such heartless words!"

Hearing what he said, Xiao Yizhuo turned to look at Zhao Linhe and retracted the terrifying aura around him.

He knew that Zhao Linhe was a good official who truly cared about the people and was a good man.

"You have seen the current situation. It should not be underestimated. My wife and children are like trapped beasts in the capital. I hope you can help them after I leave." Xiao Yizhuo nodded slightly, his voice calm.

Hearing this, Zhao Linhe immediately bowed his hands to make a promise, looking at Xiao Yizhuo with burning eyes.

"General Xiao, don't worry. I will protect your wife and children even if it costs me my official hat. Besides, your grandfather will return to Beijing in a few days, and he will definitely protect them. General Xiao, you can rest assured." Zhao Linhe said confidently.

Xiao Yizhuo nodded and said nothing more, but the people in Twilight expressed some gratitude.

Although he arranged many guards around Wen Shutang and the children, they could only protect their safety in secret, not in public.

After all, we still need someone like Zhao Linhe who has a say in the court and has relatives in the harem to help Wen Shutang.

Just as the two were talking, they saw a group of people coming towards them.

The leader was Taiping, the chief envoy of the Beichen delegation.

Taiping saw the tall and straight Xiao Yizhuo at a glance. He frowned slightly, feeling that the man looked familiar.

After walking in and seeing Xiao Yizhuo's face clearly, Taiping's eyes widened immediately, pointing at Xiao Yizhuo, unable to speak.

"you you!"

Xiao Yizhuo looked up at Taiping.

"Are you General Xiao? You are really not dead!" Taiping pointed at Xiao Yizhuo and said in surprise.

The whole country thought that the cold-faced killer named Xiao Yizhuo was dead, but the one in front of him was clearly the killer riding a red-maned warhorse and holding a spear that he saw from afar on the battlefield.

Taiping was horrified and suddenly lost his composure.

Unexpectedly, the Nansheng Kingdom actually invited this God of Death back. Now their plan to attack the capital of Nansheng will be difficult to implement!

Taiping was surprised for a moment, then immediately suppressed his emotions.

He walked forward and stared at Xiao Yizhuo's face, as if he wanted to imprint his face in his mind.

"General Xiao, my name is Taiping, and I am the chief envoy of the Beichen delegation."

Xiao Yizhuo nodded slightly, his expressionless face making it impossible to tell what his current emotions were.

"Your Majesty has issued an edict that the Beichen envoys may leave the capital and are not allowed to stay."

Xiao Yizhuo's voice was not loud, but Taiping could hear a sense of threat and pressure.

Without waiting for his reply, Xiao Yizhuo and Zhao Linhe left side by side.

Taiping looked at his back, pursed his lips tightly, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, turned around and whispered: "Let's go! Leave the palace and leave Beijing!"

Xiao Yizhuo said goodbye to Zhao Linhe at the palace gate and went straight back to the general's mansion.

He now urgently wanted to see Wen Shutang and give her a hug.

As soon as Xiao Yizhuo entered the door, he saw Wen Shutang and three children sitting on a stone bench in the yard and chatting.

Xiao Yizhuo quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hands, pulled Wen Shutang into his arms, and hugged her tightly.

Wen Shutang only felt a pulling force on his arm, and the next second he fell into a warm and solid embrace.

Feeling the familiar aura of Xiao Yizhuo, Wen Shutang finally relaxed and put away his subconscious attacking posture.

Wen Shutang reached out and hugged Xiao Yizhuo back, somewhat puzzled as to why he was so proactive today.

"You're back. What happened? Did the emperor say anything to you?"

Xiao Yizhuo tightened his arms, unable to speak. He lowered his head and buried it in the crook of Wen Shutang's neck, deeply sniffing the faint fragrance coming from her hair.

Only then did his anxious heart gradually calm down.

The three children stared blankly at their parents hugging each other, and it took them a while to react.

Xiao Wan pulled Xiao Ye aside and sat aside, laughing secretly.

However, Xiao Ze noticed something was wrong. He frowned slightly and looked at his abnormal father. He felt a little uneasy and vaguely felt that something bad was going to happen.

After Xiao Yizhuo calmed down, he let Wen Shutang go and pulled her back to the bedroom.

After closing the door, he turned and looked at Wen Shutang.

Wen Shutang looked at his unhappy expression and guessed something in his mind.

"what happens?"

Xiao Yizhuo pursed his lips tightly, and after a moment he said, "The Beichen army is approaching, and the emperor ordered me to lead the troops to fight in three days."

Hearing what he said, Wen Shutang was stunned at first, then he frowned and his heart sank.

"I will go with you."

After saying this, Wen Shutang realized that she was Xiao Yizhuo's wife and the handle the emperor used to control Xiao Yizhuo. How could the emperor let her go so easily?

Even if she and Xiao Yizhuo were allowed to go to the border together, they certainly couldn't take the three children with them.

Thinking of this, Wen Shutang's expression became solemn.

Xiao Yizhuo naturally knew this as well.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was so quiet that it was a little scary.

A moment later, Xiao Yizhuo took out a black iron token with gold-plated patterns from his arms and placed it in Wen Shutang's hand.

"This is the token of a personal guard. This token can also command all the secret guards in the Shadow Pavilion. Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you."

Xiao Yizhuo spoke in a firm tone and held Wen Shutang's hand with a little more force.

On his way back, he asked Mu Zhu to go back to Yingge and asked him to mobilize all twelve guards in Yingge just to protect Wen Shutang's safety.

Wen Shutang looked down at the black iron token in her hand. She could feel the weight and temperature of the token.

She pursed her lips, and after a moment she looked up at Xiao Yizhuo, with a firmness in her eyes.

"I will protect your back, you can lead the troops at ease. When the time is right, I will rush to help you."

Wen Shutang looked at Xiao Yizhuo with burning eyes and a serious expression. He held Xiao Yizhuo's big hand with his backhand, conveying warmth.

Xiao Yizhuo's heart stagnated, and he pulled Wen Shutang into his arms with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to rub Wen Shutang into his own bones and blood.

"Okay, ma'am, wait until I come back."
