"Boom!"

Lu Fangfang rode on her warhorse, held tightly by Zhuang Mingcheng, and felt very safe.

She finally remembered that she had a fiancé.

For the past two months, she's been clearing land, digging for caterpillar fungus, and hunting every day, and she's almost forgotten about this person.

She glanced up cautiously and noticed that the man was much thinner than before, his lips were dry and chapped, and his face was darker than before. However, his eyes were still sharp, giving him the look of a tough man who had been through many trials.

After this trip to Xinjiang, she felt that this man was more energetic than before.

"Giddy up!"

Zhuang Mingcheng gripped the reins tightly with his left hand, embraced his fiancée with his right, and brought his head close to her face.

The two were on horseback, bobbing up and down, able to see each other.

The atmosphere was ambiguous, and Lu Fangfang's body stiffened slightly.

"Comrade Fangfang, you've gained weight, you're more fleshy now, and you look better than before."

Lu Fangfang: "..."

Why does that sound so unpleasant?

"Comrade Mingcheng, you've lost weight and gotten darker. You're not as handsome as before, but I still like you quite a bit."

Zhuang Mingcheng: "..."

Lu Fangfang felt the person behind her stiffen and tighten their grip on her.

She glanced at the man and couldn't help but laugh.

Zhuang Mingcheng seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. He leaned closer to his fiancée's cheek and examined her closely.

What are you looking at?

Lu Fangfang felt a little uncomfortable; the two of them were too close at this moment.

There were so many soldiers following behind me, it was really embarrassing.

If you didn't know better, you'd think he was going to act like a hooligan on horseback.

"You look better when you're chubby. With more flesh on your face, you even have dimples when you smile. I'll make you lots of delicious food and fatten you up a bit more, then you'll look even better."

The man spoke very seriously, not like he was joking.

Lu Fangfang couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She leaned back, nestling completely in Zhuang Mingcheng's arms, then closed her eyes, opened her arms, and felt the spring breeze blowing in her face.

No, it should be summer breeze.

It's May now, and the entire Northwest has turned green, with blooming yellow flowers and wild grasses everywhere along the roadside.

The warhorse was very fast, but Lu Fangfang was not afraid at all.

She spread her arms, as if she were about to fly.

"Mingcheng, hurry up, faster!"

"Giddy up!"

Zhuang Mingcheng pulled on the reins, nudged the horse's belly, and the horse sped up a bit more.

Gradually, the two men and their horse pulled away from the people behind them.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

The two chatted as they rode on horseback, but Team Leader Zhang in the back was far from having a leisurely time.

He stared at the two people in front of him, his eyes practically spitting fire.

He told the driver to step on the gas and honk the horn repeatedly.

The soldiers' horses, startled by the car horn, ran to both sides, and the jeep driver seized the opportunity to slam on the gas and rush past.

"Beep, beep, beep."

"Zhuang Mingcheng, Lu Fangfang, your current behavior is counter-revolutionary! Stop it right now!"

Team Leader Zhang leaned out of the car window and shouted at the two people in front of him.

After a while, his voice was almost hoarse from shouting, but the two people on horseback in front of him remained unmoved.

He turned around angrily and ordered, "Xiao Liu, hurry up, faster, overtake them!"

"Team leader, we're already at the fastest speed."

"Faster! I refuse to believe that a car can't outrun a warhorse. Overtake it!"

The jeep driver was sweating profusely, and he could only keep pressing the accelerator.

"Boom!"

A horse and a carriage, getting closer and closer, about to catch up.

Zhuang Mingcheng turned his head and glanced at it, then immediately pulled on the reins, causing the chestnut horse to run into the grass by the roadside.

He rode his warhorse, leading the group, straight from the high platform to here. The journey was quite long, and the horse was already exhausted.

Now, with two more people on board, it really can't outrun a gas-guzzling car in a long run.

Lu Fangfang also noticed the jeep that was chasing after them. She looked up at Zhuang Mingcheng and took his hand.

"Mingcheng, let it go. They won't do anything to me. Let's stop. If things get out of hand, we'll be the ones who suffer."

Zhuang Mingcheng didn't speak. He gripped the reins and kept the horse running, as if venting his resentment.

By this time, the jeeps on the road had caught up and were driving alongside them.

Team Leader Zhang looked at the two men through the car window with a cold smile.

After running for a while, Zhuang Mingcheng pulled on the reins and slowly stopped. "Whoa~"

"Boom!"

At this moment, the cavalry from behind caught up.

Zhuang Mingcheng released his grip, jumped off his warhorse, and threw his saber and pistol to the arriving instructor.

"Old Wang, I need to go to the military region. I'm leaving the First Battalion in your hands."

Instructor Wang Haibing opened his mouth, but didn't know how to offer any advice.

Finally, he could only say in a dry voice, "Don't worry, I'll bring the team back safely. Old Zhuang, be careful."

With Wang Haibing's words, Zhuang Mingcheng was completely free of worries.

Looking up at Lu Fangfang on her warhorse, he reached out his hand to his lover.

"Mingcheng, no need, no need."

Lu Fangfang felt bad and shook her head, not wanting Zhuang Mingcheng to be like this.

"My fiancée has been kidnapped. If I don't bring her back safely, how can I face the people in the regiment? How can I be a soldier?"

Zhuang Mingcheng acted rudely this time.

He grabbed Lu Fangfang's waist with both hands and lifted her down.

Lu Fangfang looked at him and sighed helplessly.

It seems there's no way to persuade this man.
