"I heard that the old master expelled her last night. Xu Xiaomo told the old master something, and the old master not only did not punish her, but also allowed Butler Yang to visit her. Could it be that the old master intends to turn Xu Xiaomo into his young master's concubine?" If only I had known earlier that I would be beaten up, I would have asked the first lady to give me a good beating! "

"Look at you, I'm afraid you'll have to kneel and beg for mercy before the fight begins. Come on, you. "What's so good about a concubine like that? She doesn't even have any status, and in the end, different people are chased out of the mansion."

The maidservants outside the window couldn't help but peek into the room as they passed by. Xu Xiaomo had been listening to these gossip for almost a day now, so she slowly got up and put down the window. Today, Xu Zhongkui had sent over the Xu Family's housekeeper, Yang City, and he had brought over some Gold Sore Medicine. Xu Xiaomo saw it as a special ointment specially made by the military, and as the daughter of a general, she had seen it many times at home.

Xu Xiaomo looked at the ointment and thought back to the Situ Family that had vanished into thin air. Dozens of lives had been destroyed because of a simple crime, and from today onwards, the Situ Family would only bear the responsibility of being disloyal and dishonest in the annals of history.

Try your best to live on, "Xu Xiaomo's hands involuntarily gripped a corner of the blanket, his knuckles turning even paler from the loss of blood," Only by surviving can we exact revenge and confuse the Xu Family to enter the military, only then can we have the chance to turn the tables and wash the grievances of the Situ Family.

As for the words she said to Xu Zhongkui to protect Xu Ge at all costs, it was just a random excuse. Xu Ge was the son of her arch enemy who killed her father.

"Young master is back, young master is back!" A few days after Xu Xiaomo and Xu Zhongkui reached an agreement, Xu Ge who went to take the exam came back from outside. The moment Xu Ge stepped into the Xu residence, the news spread throughout the entire courtyard. All of the maids in the east wing ran out to welcome him back. Only the injured Xu Xiaomo was still lying on her bed.

Xu Xiaomo heard Xu Ge's soft, long eyelashes flutter as he returned. This young master of the Xu family had some unclear connections to his previous self. She wondered what kind of expression he would have when he heard that Xu Ge was going to serve as his shadow guard.

Xu Ge had just reached the age where his hair would be tied up as a crown and his eyes would be as black as the stars in the night sky. He was dressed in green and gray clothes, and under his ordinary attire, there was an indescribable sense of nobility. Xu Ge was gentle. He smiled at the surrounding maids, but his eyes were as indifferent as the clouds.

Xu Ge did not see Xu Xiaomo among the maidservants. He asked about what had happened in the Xu Residence after he left for a few days, then went straight to Xu Xiaomo.

Xu Xiaomo, who was lying sideways on the bed, was dazzled by the light. She was woken up by the noise outside the room, and the one who was in love with Xu Ge was her previous owner, not herself. Xu Xiaomo rolled over and went back inside, muttering, "Jingzhu, hurry and close the door."

Xu Xiaomo had finished speaking, but the light remained the same. A tall man blocked the light from the door, and shrouded her in darkness. Xu Xiaomo sensed that something was amiss, she turned her body to face the door, and accidentally ran into a pair of black and white eyes.

Xu Ge looked at the woman lying on the bed and felt mixed emotions. He had just heard from the servant girl that she was being flogged. He had always thought that being master and servant was different, and treating Xu Xiaomo was just a trick used by the rich young masters to flirt with the servant girl. Who knew that she would be severely punished because of him?

"You've suffered," Xu Ge sighed, and reached out to caress Xu Xiaomo's eyebrows, which were tightly furrowed, with a probing look in his almond eyes. Xu Ge was confused, and did not know why Xu Xiaomo looked like that, but these probing eyes were quickly covered up by the darkness, causing Xu Ge to shake his head, he was afraid that he was overthinking.

"Xu Xiaomo caused Young Master's reputation to suffer, that's Xu Xiaomo's fault." Xu Xiaomo's eyes sparkled, the guilt in them magnified as her eyelashes fluttered gently.

Xu Ge could no longer hold it in, he bent his arms and wrapped them around Xu Xiaomo's waist. Xu Xiaomo quickly dodged, the pain on her waist made her cry out softly.

Xu Ge suddenly felt that this woman in front of him was so unfamiliar. She used to be a bit shy when she saw him, but why was she so cold after leaving for a few days? Could it be that she was still angry at him?

"Master has already promised Xu Xiaomo that he will be escorted to the army camp every few days." Young Master need not worry, Xu Xiaomo will not embarrass the Master and the Young Master. "

Xu Ge wanted to say a few more words of persuasion, but seeing that Xu Xiaomo had already made up his mind, he no longer had any thoughts of persuading her. Thinking of Xu Xiaomo going to the military camp, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. "Which military camp did father say we were going to?"

"Xu Xiaomo heard from the butler Yang that the old master sent someone to take care of Hubai's troops that were stationed outside the capital." Xu Xiaomo's voice was a little unsteady. Hubby Army was an army that his father had led in his previous life, and many of them were his father's subordinates.

Xu Ge nodded and secretly let out a sigh of relief. The current commander of Hubai's army was his good friend. With him around, Xu Xiaomo probably wouldn't suffer too much.

Today was the day that Xu Xiaomo would go to the army camp. Her injuries were not yet fully healed, and Xu Ge insisted on sending her there himself, so Xu Xiaomo could only nod and agree.

"Creaak," the door suddenly opened. Xu Xiaomo walked out wearing a man's outfit that Xu Ge had found for her a few days ago. A pair of black soapsuds were loose on his feet. Fortunately, the owner of this body was an orphan when he was young. Otherwise, he would have been chased out of the military camp before he could even get in.

In order to cover it up better, Xu Xiaomo used her eyebrow pencil to add a moustache on her lips. Although it didn't look much better than a weak book, it still made her look more manly.

"You should think about it properly. Once you enter the army camp, I wonder how much suffering you will suffer." Xu Ge sized Xu Xiaomo up from head to toe, unconsciously sighing. To be honest, he was a little reluctant. In order to not attract too much attention, Xu Ge did not bring along a single follower, and went alone with Xu Xiaomo.

Xu Ge and Xu Xiaomo walked out of the city, and someone brought a horse carriage. Xu Ge called Xu Xiaomo and jumped onto the horse carriage. The driver waved his whip, causing dust to fly into the air. The horse galloped along at top speed, but even so, it still took them an entire day to get there.

Just as the sun was about to set, the carriage finally stopped. As a borderland of the Liang state, the northeast of the country was sparsely populated. Xu Xiaomo rubbed her eyes as the wind from the Fringe blew sand and dirt towards her.

It would not be easy for him to enter the military camp. Xu Ge and Xu Xiaomo had yet to arrive at the camp where Hubai's troops were, and they could already see a patrolling squad of soldiers from afar.

The soldiers in a vertical line were dressed in black, with their bottoms and panties rolled up into their boots. Two thin lines of dark blue hair protruded from their heads and tied around their necks. They walked at the same pace, not saying a single word during the patrol. This showed just how strict the military discipline was.

The leader of the soldiers raised his right hand and pointed his blade at Xu Xiaomo, his eyes turning cold, "Who the hell are you?!" "He actually dares to specialize in military camps!"

Xu Ge calmly pulled out a medallion from his waist and waved it in front of the soldier's eyes. The soldier's expression changed, replacing it was a look of respect. "Young master, please."

The soldier led Xu Ge and Xu Xiaomo into the army camp. Xu Ge was familiar with the route, it was clear that this was not his first time in the military camp.

Passing through the camp's gate, the northwest direction was the stables. This place was a flat piece of flat land, and the place where the soldiers practiced their techniques was also here. The bright red flag of the triangle spread out on the stone stage in the middle of the training field. The crowd on the stage was in an uproar, shouting and cheering nonstop.

The crowd suddenly burst into laughter, causing Xu Ge and Xu Xiaomo to look over.

"Look at your tender skin, it seems like you should just scram home and drink your milk!"

"Beat him to death! Who does he think he is? How dare he call us cowards!"

"Am I right? General Situ brought a group of ingrate, no one spoke up for him! "

The thick smell of sweat and blood entered Xu Xiaomo's nose. Within the flying dust of the training field, several men in military armor were surrounding a youth in green clothes. There was a vague smell of strong alcohol in the air.

The teenager in cyan was as fierce as a stubborn calf as he ran towards the crowd. He held onto the waist of one of them with both of his hands, sticking to his body like candy. That person could not move. He tried his best to pry the youth away, but the youth opened his mouth and took a bite out of his hand.

"Ah!" "AHH!" Pull him away from me!

When the rest of the people saw this, they held onto the young man's legs and pulled his arms. The young man's four limbs kept moving, and he stepped on the bridge of one of their nose, causing bright red blood to flow out from his nostrils.

"Tang Tang and Hubai's army only know how to bully the young with their numbers. Did you guys get it wrong when I scolded them?" The youth punched and kicked as he constantly shouted.
