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

#155 - Chapter 155 Night Trial of Wu Ling

In the Great Liang Dynasty.

It was common for girls from common families to be engaged at the age of twelve and married off at fourteen or fifteen.

To be unmarried at seventeen or eighteen was already considered an old maid.

Wu Ling was nineteen years old, but her marriage prospects were still uncertain.

However, this couldn't be entirely blamed on her.

As a female leader of the Suspended Blade Guards, the men she came into contact with were mostly crude and uncouth.

Wu Ling really didn't find any of them appealing.

And those officials and scholars with some status, who would want to marry a female Suspended Blade Guard into their family?

Furthermore, to make things easier for her duties, she often applied yellow wax to her face when going out, concealing her otherwise decent appearance.

This made even fewer men approach her.

Since becoming a Suspended Blade Guard, Wu Ling had been living a free and unrestrained life, braving wind and rain with her black clothes and long saber.

Being accustomed to leisure and freedom, she was very resistant to the idea of marriage and being controlled by her husband's family.

Her father, Wu Jun, was most concerned about his daughter's marriage.

This Inspector Wu knew in his heart that his daughter was of age, had a wild nature, and high standards.

It would be very difficult for her to be the principal wife in a wealthy and powerful family, and she would be unwilling to be a concubine.

So it dragged on and on until now.

Some time ago, her father, Wu Jun, felt that he couldn't wait any longer, so he found a promising scholar in the countryside and discussed marrying Wu Ling to him as a second wife.

As a result, the other party sent someone to look at Wu Ling's face, but Wu Ling deliberately applied yellow wax to her face, making herself look ugly.

As expected, the scholar refused without saying a word.

Because of this, her father, Wu Jun, had a big argument with her, and the father and daughter didn't speak for half a month.

This time, Wu Ling took the initiative to lead her subordinates to follow Marquis Longxiang to capture the assassin.

She also wanted to stay away from her old man and avoid his nagging.

These days, being by Marquis Longxiang's side.

Wu Ling felt that it was actually not bad, Marquis Longxiang Bai Jing was also a woman.

She was also an older unmarried woman, which gave Wu Ling some sense of comfort in the female Marquis.

Look, even a high-ranking and powerful female Marquis is troubled by marriage, isn't she?

Today, she saw the female Marquis only took a few followers out.

Wu Ling out of kindness followed behind secretly protect.

She is good at lightness skill and disguise.

Following behind the female Marquis, no one noticed.

Wu Ling was very strange, why the Bai family sisters changed into civilian dress today.

When she got to Ganjing Lane, she knew that the female Marquis was here to find Li Yuan.

Regarding the relationship between Marquis Longxiang and Li Yuan.

Marquis Longxiang Bai Jing was in love with Li Yuan.

This was not a secret in the Longxiang Army.

But when she saw that the usually aloof and noble female Marquis, today was like an ordinary wife cleaning the house for Li Yuan, buying vegetables, and cooking.

Wu Ling was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped.

Until this time, she had long forgotten about being the female Marquis's secret guard.

The reason she was still following behind was more of a spectator mentality.

After all, such a female Marquis was really rare to see.

Because Wu Ling had no malice towards the Marquis and Li Yuan in her heart.

Did not stimulate Li Yuan's ability to recognize talents, so Li Yuan also never noticed Wu Ling's tracking.

Even at night, Wu Ling relied on her lightness skills and had been lurking on the roof of the small courtyard to watch the show.

From the female Marquis washing Li Yuan's feet to Bai Yuxuan laying the bed in the inner house.

Wu Ling was very interested in watching.

At this time, the night was already deep.

The night watchman had already struck the third watch.

Wu Ling felt that she had gained a lot of knowledge today and it was time to leave.

Just as she moved, she didn't want Li Yuan's house to be in disrepair for a long time, and a tile was not hung firmly.

With a snap, half a roof tile fell into the small courtyard.

Wu Ling was startled, and quickly lowered her body to hide her figure in the shadow of the roof ridge.

She also learned a few lifelike cat calls, trying to get away with it.

What she didn't expect was that the movement on the roof had already alarmed Li Yuan in the house.

Li Yuan's current martial value is already at the Dragon General level.

The slightest changes around him could not be concealed from him.

Knowing that someone had come to the roof of his house, Li Yuan did not alarm the Bai family sisters, but put on his clothes and quietly got out of bed.

Wu Ling, who was lurking in the shadows, observed for a while, and saw that there was no movement.

This time, she put her heart down, but just as she wanted to get up, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind her.

Wu Ling was startled, knowing that she had been discovered, she quickly turned around and wanted to run.

Li Yuan would naturally not let go of the suspicious person who jumped on the roof of his house in the middle of the night.

In just an instant, the two exchanged blows and fought several times.

The more they fought, the more frightened Wu Ling became.

Although she was very confident in her martial arts, the other party's strength almost crushed her.

With just one carelessness, Li Yuan grabbed Wu Ling's arm.

Then, he took the opportunity to hit Wu Ling's back neck and knocked her unconscious.

Like a rabbit rising and a falcon falling, the battle between the two ended almost in an instant.

Li Yuan carried Wu Ling and jumped down from the roof.

At this time, the lights in the house were also lit.

The Bai family sisters didn't know what Li Yuan suddenly went out for.

But then there was a commotion on the roof.

The two sisters also knew that outsiders had come to the roof, and they were instantly alert.

After all, the assassination of Marquis Longxiang had not been over for long.

The mastermind behind the scenes has not been caught yet.

The sisters were worried, but soon Li Yuan jumped down from the roof carrying a black-clothed man.

Entering the house, he tore off the masked scarf of the man in black.

The three of them were stunned, it was none other than Wu Ling, the female leader of the Wude Division Suspended Blade Guards, who had been on duty by their side these days, who was lying on their roof in the middle of the night.

The Bai family sisters and Li Yuan looked at each other, and they were all wondering in their hearts, how could it be her.

When Wu Ling woke up, her heart sank.

Looking up, in front of her was the female Marquis Bai Jing, with a solemn expression.

On the left and right were Bai Yuxuan and Li Yuan.

The three of them were looking at her with scrutinizing eyes.

Wu Ling secretly called out that it was not good in her heart, she was caught on someone else's roof while eating melons.

This time, I'm afraid she won't be able to explain it clearly.

Sure enough, the female Marquis saw that she was awake, and asked in a cold voice.

"Wu Ling, why are you here in the middle of the night?"

Facing Marquis Longxiang's cold eyes like ice.

Wu Ling's heart trembled, she felt that she should not lie.

So she told the truth, honestly told everything about her original intention to be the female Marquis's secret guard.

When the female Marquis heard this, although she still had doubts in her heart, her expression eased.

Bai Jing observed her words and expressions, and was able to determine that what Wu Ling said was indeed the truth.

Then, she felt a little touched in her heart.

She didn't expect that this Leader Wu would actually worry about her safety.

Seeing that Marquis Longxiang's expression eased, Wu Ling's tense heart also relaxed slightly.

But then, the female Marquis asked again in a cold voice.

"Today, how much did you see of my and Qingyuan Earl's affairs?"

Hearing Marquis Longxiang's question.

Wu Ling didn't dare to answer.

How much did she see, she saw everything she should and shouldn't have seen.

She was originally a well-trained female Suspended Blade Guard, but under the female Marquis's cold gaze, she also seemed a little flustered.

There was no way, Marquis Longxiang's kind of pressure from a superior who had been in a high position for a long time was still very oppressive.

Seeing Wu Ling's eyes flickering and her expression changing.

The Bai family sisters and Li Yuan looked at each other, their eyes were slightly narrowed.

Today, the female Marquis and Li Yuan's affairs.

I'm afraid this Leader Wu has seen everything.
