Immediately, Leng Qingtang came back from the Court of Patrol in North Town, he went straight to the Training Field of the Eastern Depot.

He made a sudden diversion of 10,000 Imperial Guards and moved totally of 1,000 soldiers of the Fourth Squad and Seventh Squad in the Eastern Depot. According to his plan, they would set out to join the Dongqing Fleet in the Wei Sea by sea. Then they would take the same road to the south, aiming at the Qiong Ocean.

The imperial court had announced decrees. Three different letters were sent by training gooses to Min Rui who was going to Guiping, and the people in Yanyi Fortress and Qinghu Fortress in middle parts, ordering to gather 200,000 soldiers in frontier defense and take no rest to go to Dianyun.

It was at nightfall when Leng Qingtang finished official tasks and exhaustedly reached the Southern Residence in the Eastern Depot.

Looking through the beaming window paper, he could see some black figures in Gu Yunxi's room. It seemed that there were at least four to five people.

Leng Qingtang was confused, so he opened the door and went in. Then he found that Cheng Wanli, Xiao Xiaoshen, Yuan Qian, and Lanxin were all there.

Gu Yunxi was standing in the crowd, with the beaming silver armor on her upper body.

When Leng Qingtang came in, she was standing in front of the copper mirror, muttering and urging Lanxin to help her tie the armor ribands in the back.

The pretty girl combed a bun and wore armor, which shaped her slim and buxom figure. In the swaying candles, she apparently showed a kind of misty feature with both masculine and feminine qualities. Her vivid image charmed him.

"Master, are you back?"

Hearing the sound of the door, Gu Yunxi turned around. When she saw Leng Qingtang’s handsome face, her eyes were lightened up. She held her arms above the head and whirled her body around, smiling at him,

"Come and have a look! How is my dress in armor? Does it look great? Well, it was just a little heavy for me..."

As his admiring eyes gradually faded away, Leng Qingtang turned to be serious. He glanced at those people surrounding Gu Yunxi, suddenly pointed to her, strictly questioning,

"Who found the armor for her? Who?"

Lanxin was stunned. She shrank shoulders and lowered her head, daring to say nothing.

Cheng Wanli looked at Xiao Xiaoshen and Yuan Qian silently. Then he took a step forward, being embarrassed and awkward,

"Master, it was me that brought the armor to Madam Yun..."

"... It was me that asked him to help me find an armor."

From his instant changing expressions, Gu Yunxi could infer that he was in bad mood. So she hustled to interrupt and explain. With shadowed eyes glancing up and down, she lightly muttered,

"You have promised to bring me to Southern Jiang and fight with you. So I required Cheng Wanli to find armor for me. It is reasonable!"

"Take it off!"

Leng Qingtang stared at her seriously. It seemed that he was making an order that couldn't be defied.

Gu Yunxi shut up sadly, throwing Lanxin an eye. Lanxin immediately went to her back and helped her untie the armor ribands.

The armor was so heavy for Lanxin. For fear that she couldn't hold it up, Xiao Xiaoshen joined to help her. He casually made it folded and held it in his arms, flatteringly smiled at Leng Qingtang,

"Master, I, I will send it back to the Training Field."

Before his voice died away, he had already run out of the door.

It was not proper for Cheng Wanli to stay there either, so he cupped hands to salute Leng Qingtang,

“Master, I leave now.”

Then Lanxin bowed and saluted,

"If you have no other orders, I, I will also leave."

The two people, one was tall while the other was short, successively rustled to go outdoors. By the way, they closed the door.

Noticing Leng Qingtang's sullen face, Gu Yunxi quietly went close to him. She raised one shoulder to rub his board breast, softly and sweetly fawning,

"Why so sullen? Immediately you came back, you scared people away. Did anything go wrong?"

Leng Qingtang put his big hands on her shoulders and enabled her to straighten up in front of him. There were serious expressions on his handsome face,

"Yunxi, listen to me. This time, you can't accompany me to Southern Jiang."

"What did you say?"

Instantly, Gu Yunxi was astonished. She shook off him and moved a step back, with a severe flush flooding in her face,

"You, you have promised me in the daytime. I have told every captain in the Eastern Depot. They all believe that I will accompany you to Southern Jiang. How can you eat your words casually?"

At the moment, Leng Qingtang could only regret it. He shouldn't have cheated her to quickly get rid of her in the morning."

"Yunxi, listen to me..."

He raised his mouth and showed a smile, stepping forward and reaching out to her.

Gu Yunxi felt so angry that she strode to be back. As she covered her ears with hands, she shouted in a fit of pique,

"I don't want to hear! I don't! How could you Master cheat a girl?"

"I didn't cheat you, at that time my lower lip was bitten by you..."

Even now, when Leng Qingtang thought about the experience, he felt both funny and annoying.

She was right. He was indeed a Master, but he was beaten by the cunning girl.

"So, you deliberately made a Fabian action in the daytime?"

Gu Yunxi widened her eyes angrily. Hands on her hips, she questioned him continually.

She had already boasted in the Eastern Depot, claiming that she would fight together with the Master in Southern Jiang and beat 300,000 soldiers of Bo Ku Army.

Now the Master suddenly pulled back. From now on, she would lose her face when confronting guards.

Leng Qingtang rubbed his forehead with two fingers, sullen and depressed,

"Yunxi, take my advice. I am just for your own good. It was my fault. I shouldn't cheat you. After I win the battle in Southern Jiang and come back, I will compensate you. What do you think?"

"No, no!"

Gu Yunxi frowned and stamped. After such great upset, her eyes and noses turned wet and red.

Leng Qingtang stared she shed tears flooding onto the ground, turning soft and sad.

He also didn't want to be set apart from her. If possible, he almost wanted to stuff her into his sleeve or tie her on the belt.

He strode to her. Though she resisted him fiercely, he firmly held her in his strong arms.

As his finger pulp fondled her delicate lips, the slight cocoon slightly touched her. She felt a little amorous and gradually restrained herself to be not willful and crazy.

"Or I give you a compensation tonight?"

It seemed that Leng Qingtang thought about something, and he couldn't help snickering. In his deep voice, Gu Yunxi could feel something soft and mild.

A sense of cold fragrance was breathed from his mouth, warming her pinna and stirring her up.

Soon his warms hands were behaving anxiously, slowly moving upwards from her slim waist to the soft bosom. The time when she slightly trembled, Leng Qingtang carefully felt the perfect sense she brought to him.

"Bad girl! You must be taught..."

He raised her chin with one finger. His voice was as soft as catkin, as mild as mist. He expressed himself to her ears, luring and teasing her at ease and comfort.

Gu Yunxi raised her slim eyebrows. Suddenly she lifted one foot and violently stamped it to Leng Qingtang's boot.

"Bad girl! Do you want to murder your husband?"

Leng Qingtang winced as a sharp pain shot through his foot. Immediately when he loosened his grip, Gu Yunxi turned to free herself from his arms. Then a pillow was thrown to his handsome face.

Leng Qingtang staggered back and he raised his eyes amazedly. He shouted anxiously and helplessly,

"Yunxi..."

A second pillow was fiercely thrown to him, followed by a thin quilt, and a mattress...

"You go out! Go out! From now on, don't touch me..."

Gu Yunxi kicked him out, shut up the door violently, and made it bolted.

Leng Qingtang's nose was nearly crushed by the sudden-opened door. Fortunately, he was agile enough to shun quickly.

Embarrassedly he left the porch, but when he turned around, he saw Lanxin. In the cold moonlight, she was standing in the middle of the courtyard. With hands folded, she seemed nervous and awkward.

"Haha, Master..."

She laughed embarrassedly, and spoke haltingly to him

"I, I saw nothing! I really saw nothing!"

Then she quickly escaped into a wing-room and didn't appear again.

Leng Qingtang raised his head and sighed at the moon. After standing lonely for a while, he went out of Southern Residence.
