Chapter 167: Courtesy
Luo Jianjun quickly saluted him and said, "Greetings, Commander."
Mu Junyan nodded calmly: "General Luo, what are you doing in my tent so early?"
General Luo was a little panicked. He had some thoughts about the little girl, but he couldn't let the commander see it, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
He quickly raised the medicine and said, "I...I want to give Madam Gu some medicine for her injuries, and then I will lead her to meet up with the guards of their convoy and send her out of the barracks."
Mu Junyan said with a fake smile, "I applied the medicine to her last night."
Luo Jianjun: “…”
What did he hear?
Before he could come back to his senses, Mu Junyan had already turned around and walked in front of Gu Huan. He frowned slightly and scolded her in a low voice: "You are so disobedient. You came out of bed so early in the morning and didn't even know to put on more clothes."
After saying that, he took off his black wolf cloak and put it on her, carefully tying the belt.
Gu Huan lowered her head nervously, not daring to look at anyone.
General Luo was struck by lightning.
His tone was so intimate, his movements so close.
His eyes suddenly widened, and he blurted out subconsciously: "You, you, you guys last night..."
Gu Huan was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
She shrank her neck and curled up in Mu Junyan's arms like a turtle.
Mu Junyan had a calm face, he put his arm around her waist, held her in his arms, turned to the dumbfounded Luo Jianjun and said, "This is my wife, she is young and naive, she came here without permission, thank you for bringing her here yesterday."
"Husband, Madam?"
General Luo’s eyes almost popped out.
Suddenly, she remembered that when she brought her into the military camp yesterday, she heard the generals talking about how the commander had married a concubine who was as beautiful as a fairy.
And this concubine is the young lady's sister.
Isn’t the surname of the young master’s wife Gu?
General Luo’s head was buzzing.
Then the young lady’s crying last night…wasn’t that the fun between husband and wife?
Finished.
He wished he could be struck to death by lightning.
He actually showed his courtesy to the Duke's most beloved concubine in front of him?
It's simply seeking death!
Supervisor Luo quickly stuffed the medicine back into his sleeve, shook his head, and said repeatedly: "No, no, it's my job, how can I thank you. I'll take my leave."
Mu Junyan glanced at his red and black face and nodded: "Okay."
General Luo ran as fast as he could, as if his butt was on fire.
I was afraid that the coach would hate me if I was slow.
Mu Junyan lowered her head and saw the little girl looking at her with a pair of sparkling eyes.
Her face was flushed, she looked a little shy and a little happy.
"You call me Madam?"
Mu Junyan scratched her nose: "Why? Is there another woman around me?"
Gu Huan felt sweet in her heart, but suddenly she remembered her current situation.
He said nervously, "You have always been strict in military discipline, and you are the commander-in-chief of the Mu family army. How can you convince others if you openly violate the rules? I'd better leave quickly."
Mu Junyan brought her to the bed, pressed her down on it, picked up her feet, placed them on his thighs, and checked her feet that had been medicated last night.
His tone was calm: "It's okay, I've already taken care of it, you can stay for two more days without worry. Your convoy has already gone back, and have them send a message to Pei Erdangjia to tell him that you are fine. You can rest assured."
Gu Huan didn't know much about military affairs, so since he said so, there was naturally no problem.
She waited obediently for him to reapply medicine to her feet and hands.
Akabane was outside the door: "Master, new clothes and breakfast are here."
Mu Junyan pulled the quilt over and covered Gu Huan with it: "Come in."
Akabane put down his things and asked through the screen: "Master, do you need a bathtub?"
He thought that his wife must have had a hard journey, and that his wife, who had always been a pampered child, must want to take a hot bath.
Seeing Gu Huan's delighted look, Mu Junyan responded, "Okay."
Gu Huan drank porridge and ate pickles while watching Mu Junyan and Chiyu making a bath tub outside.
The porridge is white porridge, which is very fragrant and sticky, but the steamed buns are not made of pure white flour and are a bit hard.
However, they mostly ate dry food along the way, and Gu Huan had gotten used to it.
Soon, more than half of the wooden barrel was filled with hot water. Mu Junyan reached out to test the water temperature, and when he felt it was ok, he asked Chiyu to leave.
Mu Junyan came in and saw that she had drunk half a bowl of porridge and only eaten half a steamed bun. Without thinking, he picked up her half-finished bowl of porridge and drank it in one gulp.
"I specifically asked someone to make the porridge this morning. The porridge the army usually serves is made from mixed grains and is harder to drink."
Mu Junyan put down the half steamed bun in her hand: "This is hard to swallow. If you can't finish it, don't eat it. I've asked them to make you a bowl of egg noodles. Cook it softer. I need to find eggs, so I have to wait a while."
Gu Huan felt both sour and sweet when she heard this.
I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful.
She was afraid that he would blame her for being too delicate and unable to eat coarse flour buns and white porridge.
"Take a good wash first and relax." Mu Junyan came up and untied her belt.
"I'll do it myself." Gu Huan shyly held his hand.
Mu Junyan raised his eyebrows: "Why are you still shy in front of me? If you are too nosy, I will just talk about it."
Gu Huan’s face froze.
"Stretch out your arms."
Gu Huan could only stretch out her arms obediently and allow herself to be stripped naked, picked up and put into the bathtub.
The warm water wrapped around her whole body, and Gu Huan couldn't help but moan. Suddenly, she met those deep eyes with flickering fire, and she was so scared that she quickly fell silent and crossed her arms.
Mu Junyan smiled muffledly, shook his head and walked away.
Gu Huan breathed a sigh of relief.
I’m still not used to it.
After a while, Mu Junyan came over again with a stack of new clothes.
"Help you wash?"
"No!" Gu Huan quickly refused.
He comes to help her wash?
That's not bathing, it's a sin.
Mu Junyan looked at her shoulders exposed above the water, his Adam's apple rolled, and he quickly looked away. He dragged a chair to the side of the bathtub and placed his clothes on it.
"This is the new winter clothing sent by Pei. I found the smallest size. I'm going to go out and take care of something. I'll be back soon. Then I'll reapply the medicine to you."
"Yeah." Gu Huan nodded obediently.
After changing his clothes and applying medicine again, Mu Junyan went to attend to military affairs.
Gu Huan followed Chiyu to the warehouse and helped General Zhao count and distribute the supplies delivered yesterday.
Gu Huan was still a little nervous, fearing that she would bring a bad influence to Mu Junyan, so she tried to keep her head down while distributing the items.
Each team sent people to collect rice and medicinal herbs. Everyone knew Gu Huan's identity. Although they saw such a beautiful face, no one showed any special surprise. They were very polite and respectful to her.
After Gu Huan distributed the things, Chiyu took her around for a walk and also visited the wounded soldiers' camp.
Although it was a hard battle for a month and a half, the Mu family army won one victory after another. The morale of the soldiers was high and they looked heroic wherever they went.
On the training ground, the sound of killing was deafening, the swords were sharp, and the ground was covered with dust.
Even Gu Huan, a woman, felt her blood boiling after watching this.
However, all these wars are actually related to Brother Ji.
Gu Huan felt a little sad.
She needed to explain the truth to Mu Junyan. She didn't want to hide anything from him.
If he blamed her, she would take it.
But there must be no misunderstanding between them.
