Chapter 1171 - 1173: The Hidden Mystery
Upon receiving her reply, joy and delight were evident on his face as he eagerly took it over.
Seeing Yu Siqiao’s expectant look, many couldn’t help teasing him, "It seems only a letter from the wife can make the iron tree bloom!"
"Hahaha, I always thought the Deputy General was so cold, who knew he could smile so happily?"
"Ha, what’s so strange about this? Aren’t all men like this when they’re away from home? Is this really that surprising?"
"Hahahahaha, stop it, look at how the Deputy General is blushing!"
...
Faced with the teasing around him, Yu Siqiao’s expression turned a bit stern, but the joy and delight in his eyes were undeniable.
After more than a month of getting along, everyone knew Yu Siqiao’s temperament, and now no one minded the mutual teasing.
Besides, Yu Siqiao didn’t seem angry at all.
The little soldier delivering the message looked a bit timid, cautiously reminding, "Vice General, maybe you should check the contents of the letter first?"
After all, that maid who delivered the message had spoken mysteriously, as if the Princess was really angry or something.
If the General had rejoiced for nothing, wouldn’t that be a sin?
Yu Siqiao glanced at him and finally couldn’t wait any longer, opening the letter.
The little soldier cautiously observed Yu Siqiao’s expression.
Sure enough, the next moment Yu Siqiao’s face fell.
That look seemed a bit... intimidating.
Yu Siqiao recognized Mo Shu’s handwriting at a glance.
The handwriting was bold and free, with a unique personal style.
But there were so few words on it.
Because...
There were only two words.
"Do not return!"
With a big exclamation mark behind it!!!
Yu Siqiao, somehow, actually understood!
His mood instantly became very complicated; the original joy was instantly deflated.
Yu Siqiao turned the piece of paper over and over in his hands, but no matter how he looked, it was just two words and an exclamation mark.
Could it be that Mo Shu had deciphered the mystery of the envelopes he sent, and wrote a secret letter in imitation?
Yu Siqiao thought it was very likely, and somewhat excitedly pulled out the flint, lighting it, and carefully roasted the paper by the fire.
However, contrary to his imagined scenario of a large paragraph of text appearing, no matter how long he roasted it, the paper remained unchanged.
That tiny bit of hope in Yu Siqiao’s heart vanished in an instant, his mood collapsed, and his face darkened a few shades.
The soldiers who had been teasing Yu Siqiao earlier saw his expression change at that moment and didn’t dare to make a sound.
Only Yu Siqiao, who had been full of joy just a while ago, now looked grimly at the little soldier who delivered the letter and said, "Is this all?"
Yu Siqiao’s voice was somewhat heavy, sounding full of displeased coldness.
The little soldier immediately nodded, "Yes!"
After hesitating for a moment, he added, "The person who delivered this letter seemed to be the Eldest Princess’s maid, and she said the Princess seemed very angry, so that’s why she sent this letter."
Yu Siqiao instantly fell silent, feeling a bit annoyed.
He shouldn’t have expected her to decipher the mystery in the paper, probably because every time the letters arrive during the day, Mo Shu may not have had a chance to read them by night.
What should he do now?
This era has no cell phones...
Yu Siqiao thought of this and was momentarily stunned.
What is a cell phone?
