Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator

Chapter 170: Where is She Now!?

Even before Laiyue had explained his actions, He Changdi had already guessed the situation.

"No matter. This isn't your fault. You've done well this time. Let's head back and have a meal and some rest."

Laiyue made a sound of agreement before following one of He Changdi's guards to a tent to rest.

As Laiyue watched his young master turn back into his own tent with his brows tightly knitted together, he couldn't help but lament their current state.

Third Young Master had really put his all into this gamble. His master had once been just like any of the other young noblemen living in the capital- compared to his current penniless state, it was too large a difference. Laiyue couldn't help but feel extremely sad.

He didn't understand why his young master had been so resolute in his decision to come to the northern border. His initial dissatisfaction towards Third Young Madam definitely wasn't one of the reasons.

They had used up all of the money they had brought from the capital, along with all the properties in Third Young Master's name. There wasn't a single valuable left. Right now, other than his rank as Captain He, Third Young Master had nothing else to his name. He was probably even poorer than those concubine-born sons from the third-rate noble houses...

Through letters from home, Laiyue had also heard of the things that Chu Lian had done back in the capital. Third Young Madam was a really capable person. Who could have thought that a noble young lady would be so good at earning money? Just going by 'Guilin Restaurant' alone, Third Young Madam's pockets were likely filled to bursting.

In the entire House Jing'an, it was probably Third Young Madam who had the most money now.

Now that Third Young Madam had also come to Liangzhou, did that mean his wise and mighty young master would have to rely on his wife to keep himself fed?

As Laiyue's mind continued wandering through these thoughts, he felt that his foresight was excellent. He had to quickly recover from his fatigue and toss his lot in with the wealthy Third Young Madam.

If He Sanlang were to find out that his manservant was thinking of switching sides, he would probably break all of the little bastard's legs!

The lights in He Changdi's tent remained on until late in the night. Exhausted, He Changdi rubbed his temples as he fell back onto his bed. His eyes stared straight up at the dark canopy of the tent as he listened to the howling wind outside. No matter how tired he was, He Changdi couldn't muster up the slightest bit of sleepiness.

He went through solutions in his mind the entire night, but none of them were actually useful.

With Xiao Hongyu's rhythmic snores as accompaniment, He Changdi subconsciously smoothed his elegant hands over the fluffy, warm fleece blanket covering him. The memory of the day Chu Lian had come to visit the camp floated into his mind.

He turned on his side and took in a deep breath, wanting to get rid of the images in his head. However, there was a faint fragrance on the blanket covering him that made his memory even clearer.

He Changdi's brows drew together in frustration, and he almost made to throw the blanket onto the ground. Although that urge lingered in his mind, the hand he had placed on the blanket refused to move.

It wasn't until the faint light of day had broken over the horizon that He Sanlang was finally able to slip into slumber.

Time passed quickly. The Tuhuns had practically stopped all attacks on the frontline. They would only send small parties to launch sneak attacks from time to time, clearly trying to play the waiting game with the border troops.
