Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

#121 - Chapter 121: Joining the Wude Division

What the Lady Marquis said was not without reason.

If the Martial Virtue Department hadn't lost the waist tag, how could these assassins have had the opportunity to impersonate them?

Wu Jun knelt there, stealing glances at the Dragon Marquis sitting at the head.

He saw that the other party's face was cold, and he was just constantly playing with the waist tag.

Inspector Wu was not stupid, Dragon Marquis wanted an attitude from him.

If he didn't give the other party a satisfactory answer, then this Lady Marquis would never easily let go of the Martial Virtue Department of Beichuan Road.

Wu Jun sighed secretly in his heart, he closed his eyes and pondered for a while.

Then he gritted his teeth, cupped his fist upwards and replied to the Dragon Marquis in a low voice.

"Letting the Marquis fall into danger."

"My Beichuan Road Martial Virtue Department does have dereliction of duty."

"In order to make up for our mistakes, my Beichuan Road Inspectorate is willing to send out elites to cooperate with the Marquis to investigate the real culprit behind the scenes."

"If the Dragon Marquis has any orders, my Beichuan Road Martial Virtue Department, from me, Wu Jun, will surely comply."

Hearing this, the Lady Marquis's expression finally eased.

Wu Jun's meaning was also very clear, it was our fault that this waist tag fell into the hands of thieves.

We will not only send people to cooperate with the Marquis in the investigation, but also the Beichuan Road Martial Virtue Department will fully cooperate with the Marquis in the future.

This meant that Wu Jun's faction of the Martial Virtue Department was willing to serve the Dragon Marquis.

In the future, if there is any disturbance in the imperial court, or if there is any movement of military generals in various places.

The Dragon Marquis can obtain intelligence through Wu Jun's channels.

To be honest, the bargaining chip given by this Inspector Wu was very sincere.

But this is not to blame this Inspector Wu.

Now the three major forces in the capital are vying for the position of crown prince, and the Great Liang can be said to be surging with undercurrents.

The resources, manpower, money, and food of the Inspectorates in various places are all concentrating on the capital.

The Martial Virtue Departments that divide and govern various places have become unattended.

The benefits they can get are also greatly reduced.

Although now, the Martial Virtue Department is nominally under the command of the Assistant General of the State.

But who can guarantee that the Third Prince will eventually seize the throne.

If the other two families eventually seize the throne, then the Martial Virtue Department, especially the Inspectorates in various places, will become abandoned children.

Instead of this, it is better to leave a way out for yourself.

Although the Dragon Marquis still looked indifferent on the surface, he was very satisfied in his heart.

The Martial Virtue Department is the oldest intelligence agency established by the Great Liang Dynasty, and it can be said to have a deep foundation.

Even if only the people from the Beichuan Road Martial Virtue Department serve him.

It can greatly benefit the Dragon Marquis.

The grasp of intelligence on Great Liang will also become more thorough.

Thinking of this, the Lady Marquis's expression softened, and she said to Inspector Wu below.

"Forget it, it's not easy for your Martial Virtue Department either."

"Inspector Wu, please get up."

"Tomorrow, Master Wu, send some capable people over."

"The mastermind behind these assassins must be thoroughly investigated."

Hearing that the Dragon Marquis had let him go.

This Inspector Wu quickly got up, cupped his fists and agreed.

"This humble official Wu Jun takes the order, and tomorrow I will send the elite of my Inspectorate to be dispatched by the Marquis."

The Lady Marquis nodded, and then pointed to Li Yuan, who was standing aside, and said.

"Master Wu, this is Lieutenant Li, he is my confidant."

"Tomorrow, when your people come, just hand them over to him."

The Dragon Marquis's words surprised Li Yuan.

What the Lady Marquis said was equivalent to letting Li Yuan be responsible for the most secret intelligence system of the Dragon Army.

Since ancient times, scouts and spies have been the most important part of a force.

The Lady Marquis entrusted it to Li Yuan with such confidence.

This was something he had never expected.

Li Yuan wanted to refuse, but in front of Inspector Wu, he couldn't reject the Lady Marquis's face.

He could only nod in agreement first.

Li Yuan could only take over this matter temporarily and talk about it later.

The Dragon Marquis chatted with Inspector Wu for a while.

Both parties reached their tacit goals.

This Inspector left.

At this time, it was already evening.

A red-clothed woman with a happy face came to the back hall, first gave the Lady Marquis a Wanfu salute, and then said.

"Reporting to the Marquis, uh, the matter of taking a concubine that you ordered has been arranged properly."

"The Marquis requested that everything be kept simple."

"So, the steps of looking at each other and giving betrothal gifts have been omitted."

"As long as the bridegroom enters the room and sleeps together, this good thing will be done."

Hearing this, the Lady Marquis nodded.

"You have worked hard, go to the front hall to receive the reward money."

Hearing that there was reward money to be taken, the red-clothed woman immediately smiled, and thanked her repeatedly, happily going to the front hall to receive the reward money.

At this time, in the back hall, all the guards had left, leaving only the Lady Marquis and Li Yuan.

Li Yuan stood there, waiting for the Lady Marquis's instructions.

It's just that when he looked up, his eyes happened to meet the Lady Marquis's eyes.

Li Yuan's heart moved, he always felt that the Lady Marquis's gaze towards him was somewhat inexplicable.

The emotions contained in that gaze were quite complicated, including three points of scrutiny, three points of bleakness, and even a few hints of a maiden's resentment.

Li Yuan quickly lowered his head, making a well-behaved appearance.

His heart was pounding, and he didn't understand what this Lady Marquis was thinking.

Could it be that the Marquis doesn't want to marry her sister to him anymore?

The Lady Marquis looked at Li Yuan for several minutes before sighing secretly.

Then she said softly to Li Yuan.

"Lang Li, my sister is stubborn and has been spoiled at home since she was a child."

"If there is anything impolite tonight, please bear with Lang Li."

What else could Li Yuan say, he could only cup his fists and salute the Lady Marquis and replied.

"Please rest assured, Marquis, I will treat Miss Yu Xuan well."

"I will never let her be wronged."

The Lady Marquis nodded slightly.

She also said.

"My sister has been weak since she was a child, and she has just been frightened."

"Lang Li is a brave general who is difficult to match, and he is also young and vigorous."

"You must be careful in bed."

"Don't hurt her body."

Hearing this, Li Yuan blushed.

He didn't expect that the Lady Marquis would talk to him about the wedding night so unreservedly.

It stands to reason that in the Great Liang Dynasty, if a man and a woman are not husband and wife, discussing this matter is very taboo.

After saying a few words, the Lady Marquis also realized that she had said something wrong.

Her own sister will become Li Yuan's wife tonight, and the couple can do whatever they want at night.

What's wrong with me, why would I be so rude in front of Li Yuan.

Thinking of this, the Lady Marquis's handsome face also rarely flushed.

She quickly pulled out the folding fan inserted in her waist, unfolded it with a whoosh, covering her face to hide her embarrassment.

Her eyes secretly glanced at Li Yuan.

Fortunately, at this time, Li Yuan was bowing and saluting, and did not look at her face.

This allowed the Lady Marquis to feel a little relieved.

Then, the Lady Marquis coughed lightly, and then ordered.

"It's getting late, you... you should go and rest too."

"Yu Xuan must be waiting anxiously."

Seeing that the Lady Marquis allowed him to leave, Li Yuan also quickly bowed and said goodbye.

After all, he was going to have a wedding night tonight.

It is impossible to say that he doesn't have any expectations in his heart.

Looking at Li Yuan's back going to the east courtyard.

The Lady Marquis didn't know why, but she only felt a tightness in her heart.

It was clear that Li Yuan was marrying her own sister to relieve her illness, and it was also arranged by herself.

But she inexplicably felt unwilling, but had nowhere to vent.

She didn't like anything around her.

Seeing a stone on the ground that was very annoying, she went up and kicked it.

As a result, she forgot that she was not wearing war boots, but soft cloth shoes for daily wear.

With this, the Lady Marquis groaned, she covered her feet and hopped several times on one leg.

But she was afraid of making a noise and attracting guards, losing her face as a Marquis.

She could only forcibly cover her mouth and endure the pain.

Finally, after enduring this pain, the Lady Marquis looked up at the stars.

A burst of inexplicable sadness in her heart.
