After Being Forced to Marry the Evil Star General

18

Zhao Yelan inspected the corpses in situ. There was a gold thread on the collar, so there was no doubt that they were gold collar guards.

There were twelve people in total, exactly one team, all of them were beheaded by Yan Mingting. As for the group of people that Gao Tan went after, there should be someone else to obstruct them.

He covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, walked to the sedan chair, looked at a group of shivering bearers, and asked, "Are you sure there are still people in black who have escaped?"

"Yes, yes." A more courageous one replied, "Then your lord and your servants chased them out. They are all very powerful..."

Zhao Yelan said: "Go home."

Some of the bearers were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground. When they heard the order, they got up unsteadily, and hurried back with their palanquins pale.

The mansion was preparing dinner, butler Tan saw him coming back, and asked cautiously, "Does your lord have anything to eat tonight?"

"Don't eat."

"A man is like iron, rice is steel, how can he not eat?" Butler Tan followed behind him, explaining the importance of eating earnestly.

"Yan Mingting went to rescue Gao Tan." Zhao Yelan said suddenly.

"what?"

"Are you still eating?" Zhao Yelan turned around and asked.

Butler Tan took a deep breath, immediately went to summon the people in the mansion, rushed out of the gate in a mighty manner, and turned back after a while: "My lord, may I ask where our general is now?"

"How would I know?" Zhao Yelan went to the study room, picked up a book and began to read it. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a group of trembling servants at the door. "What are you all doing here? Don't you need to do anything?"

Butler Tan waved his hand, drove the others back, and asked, "My lord, are you not worried about the general at all?"

"There's nothing to worry about. Isn't he a master of martial arts?" Zhao Yelan said confidently.

Butler Tan had no choice but to go back to the front yard and stand at the gate looking around from time to time.

It wasn't until late at night, when the moon and stars were scarce, that Butler Tan sat on the threshold and dozed off. When he heard the sound of horseshoes, he stood up in a panic and saw Yan Mingting returning with Gao Tan.

"Oh, you're back, General. Nothing happened, right?"

"It's okay." Yan Mingting handed the horse over to his servants, "Where's Zhao Yelan?"

"Ma'am, he has been worried about you. He didn't even eat dinner." Butler Tan thought for a while and added, "But Ma'am has great confidence in you and firmly believes that you are strong in martial arts and will bring Xiao Gao back. Reading in the study, I don’t know if I fell asleep or not.”

"I see, you can find a doctor." Yan Mingting took Gao Tan to the bedroom to meet someone, but Zhao Yelan was already asleep.

"My lord always goes to bed early." Gao Tan whispered.

"Okay, you go back to your room to rest first, and let the doctor check it out later." Yan Mingting said.

"Thank you General for saving your life." Gao Tan stepped back obediently.

Yan Mingting stood in the room, staring at the back figure on the bed for a long time, and then lightly prepared to go to bed.

After everything returned to silence and darkness, Yan Mingting called softly: "Zhao Yelan, I have something to tell you."
