After sending people to move the looted property from the mountain from the mountain, it was already completely dark. Fortunately, Xiao Chumo guessed that it was impossible to go back on the same day on this trip, and before leaving, he had asked the soldiers to bring a little dry food.

Wei Tingyan couldn't stay idle, and he was reluctant to eat these dry foods. After cleaning up those mountain bandits, he took his bow and arrows, and had to go to the mountains again to hunt a lot of game.

The night is getting deeper, and the surroundings are finally quiet.

Xiao Chumo didn't feel the slightest sleep. He sat by the fire and stared at the flames jumping in front of him. This kind of sleeping life reminded him of his previous time in the frontier.

"Cousin, aren't you sleeping yet?"

Wei Tingyan walked out of the tent and saw Xiao Chumo, who was still sitting outside, so he yawned and walked over.

This young master, who is picky and seems to be pampered on weekdays, has no restraint at the moment. Instead, he lifted the corner of his clothes very casually and sat down next to Xiao Chumo.

Seeing that the latter was obviously a little distracted, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's the matter, didn't you just come out one night and start missing your sister-in-law?" ”

Xiao Chumo couldn't hear that he was joking with himself, but he still collected his thoughts and replied to him: "No, I just suddenly remembered when I used to lead troops to fight in the field." ”

However, after he mentioned this, he did miss Yu Pan Xi a little.

Wei Tingyan has always longed to be able to gallop on the battlefield, but his father only has such a son. Although he agreed to fight hard in the DPRK by himself, he would never agree that he would really set foot on the battlefield.

Therefore, for this matter, Wei Tingyan can only think about it at most.

At this time, when he heard Xiao Chumo mention it, his sleepiness seemed to be gone, and he hurriedly pestered his cousin to tell him about the experience of marching and fighting.

Xiao Chumo couldn't shirk it, and he wasn't sleepy at the moment, so he followed his meaning and picked a few things to talk about. Until the second half of the night, Wei Tingyan finally couldn't hold back the sleepiness that swept in, and planned to go back to the tent to sleep.

It's just that before leaving, he asked Xiao Chumo sleepily: "But cousin, if you have to go to the battlefield again in the future, what about your sister-in-law?" ”

The speaker has no intention and the listener has a heart. Wei Tingyan originally just asked casually in a daze, and even when he woke up the next morning, he might not remember this incident. But after Xiao Chumo heard it, he was obviously stunned.

He hadn't really thought about it before.

Yu Panxi doesn't know kung fu, his body is weak, and it is impossible to eat, live and kill the enemy with the army like Chu Lu. And as a loyal and brave general, although the world is peaceful now, he can be by her side like an ordinary husband and wife, but in the event of turmoil and war, he must be the first to bear the brunt.

At that time, he has been gone for several years, so why don't you want Yu Panxi to stay alone in the mansion all the time?

Xiao Chumo didn't want to be separated from her, let alone make her feel lonely.

Because of Wei Tingyan's unintentional words, Xiao Chumo, who was already sleepy, couldn't sleep at all. He couldn't stop thinking about this question in his heart, and before he knew it, he was already sitting until dawn.

"You take the hundred elite soldiers and those mountain bandits I allocated to you and return to Kyoto directly to resume your life, I said in front of Your Majesty that I would let you go with you, and she won't ask more."

Seeing that everyone had woken up, Xiao Chumo called Wei Tingyan in front of him and asked him to leave with someone first.

After the latter heard it, he grabbed the loophole in his words for a rare time and asked, "What about you, cousin?" You're still going to be here with those fifty people? ”

Xiao Chumo nodded, but he didn't hide it from him at all: "Lord Lin has not made any progress in investigating the matter of the ghost mansion. It was originally very close to the mansion, and I was going to pay a visit to Lord Lin and go with him to investigate. ”

At the end, he added: "I think that although the people who can be mobilized by Lord Lin have some kung fu, they are not as agile as the soldiers in the army." Since I've brought someone here this time, I'll bring them with me, and I'll support him. ”

Hearing Xiao Chumo's next decision, Wei Tingyan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to be interested in this matter again, and immediately became entangled with the former.

"Cousin, take me with you! I've heard rumors about haunted houses many times a few days ago, and I've always wanted to see them. Now that you're all here, since you're going, just take me with you! ”

Such exciting things have always been Wei Tingyan's favorite. Even if it was a rumored haunted mansion by a ghost, he wanted to explore it.

Even if he can't find out the real reason for the rumors in the haunted mansion in the end, after returning to Kyoto, he can boast in a group of sons and brothers that he really went to the haunted house!

Wei Tingyan thought in his heart, and seemed to have seen the admiring eyes of the group of fox friends and dog friends on weekdays. However, Xiao Chumo had already seen his little abacus clearly, and rejected him outright.

"No, I can't. If you stay, who will be responsible for escorting the bandits and their looted goods back? Moreover, the matter of purging the mountain bandits was previously requested by His Majesty, and now that the matter has been resolved, one of us must go back to restore his life. ”

What Xiao Chumo said was very reasonable, but Wei Tingyan really wanted to go over and see the ghost mansion. Although he couldn't say anything to refute, he still refused to give up, and kept pestering the former to talk about it.

It wasn't until the soldiers brought by the two were already ready to set off that Xiao Chumo was also a little upset by his chatter, so he finally relented.

"In that case, if you have time to come after you escort people and things back, I will take you in."

Kyoto isn't that far away, and the abandoned mansion is even closer. After hearing Xiao Chumo's words, Wei Tingyan thought in his heart that if he hurried over after sending the things back, he should still be able to catch up.

At that moment, he agreed: "Okay, then it's a word, you can't regret it!" ”

Saying that, he seemed to be really afraid that Xiao Chumo would suddenly regret it, and turned over on the horse very quickly. With a hundred soldiers already prepared and all the harvest of the trip, rush back towards Kyoto.

Xiao Chumo watched the mighty group of people gradually disappear, so he turned around and walked towards the other side with the rest of the soldiers.

Although he agreed that Wei Tingyan would take him with him if he could catch up, it didn't mean that he had to wait here.

Lord Hayashi was ordered to investigate the matter of the ghost house, and in order to avoid the trouble of running between Kyoto and this side, he spent some silver taels and temporarily lived in a nearby resident's house.

With so many people under Xiao Chumo's command, if he wanted to inquire about his whereabouts, it would naturally be very easy. At this moment, I am heading for that side.
