Chapter 172 Assassination

Gu Huan quickly understood what he was saying and her face immediately turned red.

Mu Junyan leaned in and smiled softly: "Come, kiss me."

Gu Huan was reluctant and was forced to lean back by him. However, she was afraid of pulling his wound and did not dare to struggle too much.

Really pressed, she quickly kissed him on the lips, then quickly distanced herself from him: "Kiss."

How could Mu Junyan be satisfied? He held Gu Huan's slender waist with both hands and held her tightly as she sat across his thighs.

"That's not kissing, that's pecking."

He grasped the back of her head with his big hand and pulled it forward, their lips pressed tightly together, and the moment they touched, they immediately conquered each other and kissed deeply and passionately.

Gu Huan was kissed so hard that her mind went blank.

Tonight, the wind blew in the camp.

The tent was rustling due to the wind, but inside the tent, under the curtain, the two people were entangled in each other, bursting with hot passion.

Suddenly, heavy footsteps approached and Akabane appeared from the darkness.

"Deputy General Qi, is there something urgent at this late hour?"

"Yes. It's a very urgent matter. I need to discuss it with the coach immediately."

Chiyu had no choice but to lift the door curtain and said to the inside: "My lord, Deputy General Qi wants to see you."

There was no response from inside for a long time. After a while, Mu Junyan came out wearing a cloak.

"What's wrong?"

Deputy General Qi couldn't wait any longer, so he pushed Chiyu aside and stepped inside: "Something big has happened. The prefect of Juzhou has been assassinated. We received a report that it should be someone from Yifengtang."

Mu Junyan's brows sank.

Deputy General Qi suddenly felt that something was wrong with the air, and then he discovered that the curtain behind the screen shook slightly.

Only then did he realize that Mu Junyan tonight was completely different from his usual serious image.

He was wearing only an undershirt and a long robe over it.

The belt of his undershirt was not fastened, and the open collar revealed his muscular figure.

There was a slight redness in the corners of his eyes, and a kind of dissatisfied and lazy air emanated from his whole body.

Deputy General Qi's heart skipped a beat. The matter was urgent and he had forgotten that there was a beautiful lady in the big tent. It was indeed not appropriate for him to come at this time.

But it’s too big.

Just when they were about to launch a general attack on Shicheng County, the prefect of Juzhou, the first gate in southern Xinjiang, was assassinated.

Not only were the people in a panic, but the army was also afraid of changes.

Mu Junyan noticed his gaze and grabbed his robe to block it in front of him.

Deputy General Qi's back was soaked with cold sweat, and he lowered his voice and said, "I just received an urgent report. Your subordinates... Your subordinates were too impatient and reckless."

"No problem. Gather the generals to your tent. I'll be there soon."

Deputy General Qi finally put his mind at ease, as the commander was still rational.

He immediately left the tent, patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Junyan turned back behind the screen and lit the candle.

Gu Huan also heard it, and quickly put on her clothes. She lifted a corner of the curtain, and the blush in her eyes faded away, and her face was full of tension.

"You continue to sleep, I'll go discuss matters with them." Mu Junyan said as he took clothes off the hanger and put them on one by one.

Gu Huan quickly got up and came over to button his shirt.

Then he took the belt and put it around his waist and tied it around him.

Mu Junyan picked her up, stuffed her back into the quilt, and tucked the corner of the quilt for her: "Don't think about anything, go to sleep first."

Gu Huan hugged his arm and said, "Was it Yifengtang who did this?"

Mu Junyan: "Yes, I got the news. I'll go check it out."

Gu Huan tightened her grip on his arm, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Mu Junyan rubbed her hair: "I promised you, remember."

Gu Huan knew that he had misunderstood and thought it was a matter of brother Liu Ji's life.

She quickly shook her head: "You have to be careful with the military rations. They will definitely not just intercept the military rations. If they find out that Pei's food delivery is coming, they will definitely do something even crazier. The other teams of Pei's food delivery should arrive in Juzhou one after another in the next two days."

Mu Junyan nodded: "Okay, you reminded me in time."

Gu Huan reluctantly let go of her hand and watched him walk away quickly.

She couldn't sleep either, so she just got up and got dressed.

It is already the hour of Yin.

It won't be long before dawn.

Half an hour later, Mu Junyan came back.

As soon as I entered the tent, I saw Gu Huan already dressed and looked like she was ready to leave immediately.

Mu Junyan was reluctant but had no choice but to let her go, after all, it was not safe.

Gu Huan came over and gently pressed against his chest.

"I'll go to Juzhou to avoid causing you trouble."

"No, you go back to Bianjing directly."

Mu Junyan gently stroked her back: "The grain team that came with you has returned yesterday. I just received news that the other two grain delivery teams of the Pei family have arrived in Juzhou, but one team was robbed when it was about to reach Juzhou. Fortunately, no one was hurt."

"ah."

Gu Huan looked up: "Robbed?"

"Well, it's probably done by Yifengtang. Juzhou is not safe either. If they know you are in Juzhou, you will be in danger again."

Gu Huan then realized that she might become a tool to threaten Mu Junyan.

"I'll listen to you. I'll leave right away."

Gu Huan was afraid of hurting his wound, so she gently pushed him away, but he pulled her back hard and gave her a deep kiss.

Mu Junyan let her go only when he realized that she was almost out of breath.

"Akabane will bring a group of the most elite troops to escort you to Jiangling, and then Akabane will personally send you back to Bianjing."

Gu Huan shook her head: "No need. I can go by myself. Dong Hua and I won't attract attention."

She couldn't occupy Mu Junyan's most elite troops, they needed to protect him.

"You just said you would listen to me." Mu Junyan lifted her chin.

Gu Huan knew it would be hard to convince him, so she thought for a moment and said, "Then send me back to Juzhou. Jiangling and Bianjing are too far apart, and the communication is too slow. You are worried about me, and I am worried about you, so why don't I stay in Juzhou? No matter how chaotic Juzhou is, you can still control it, right?"

Mu Junyan stared at her with his deep eyes.

She is right.

It would take at least a month for her to return to Jiangling and Bianjing, and he must have been worried about her during this month.

Although there were spies infiltrating Juzhou, the prefect was assassinated when he returned to the mansion drunk because of a wedding in his clan.

If Gu Huan stayed in the Duke of Juzhou's mansion, she would be safer.

"Okay, you go back to Juzhou. But you have to promise me that you won't run around." Mu Junyan held her face.

Gu Huan nodded happily: "Okay. I will be obedient."

"Wait for me for another month, and we can return together in triumph, okay?"

"Okay." Gu Huan's eyes suddenly turned red.

For one month, he doesn't want to die, and he can't die.

Before daybreak, a small carriage quietly left the military camp, escorted by a dozen elite black-armored cavalrymen.

Wei time.

Gu Huan returned to Juzhou.

Donghua saw her rushing over and started to chatter: "Madam, Madam, are you okay? How come you've been gone for two days? The caravan has returned, but you haven't. I was so worried."

"Stop shaking, I'm going to fall apart."

Gu Huan almost vomited from riding in the carriage, and she felt dizzy from being shaken by the carriage.

Donghua quickly let go and followed Gu Huan like a little tail, chattering all the way: "Madam, have you seen the master?"

"Yes, I saw it."

"Wow, that's great. Why did you come back so soon? Why don't you stay a few days longer and tell your master about your longing for you?"

Gu Huan paused, turned around and glared at her: "Have you read too many novels?"

Donghua stuck out her tongue and muttered to herself, "I wonder who is missing you so much that he has come all the way here."

Gu Huan was speechless. Just as she was about to scold her again, she saw Pei Jinglei running towards her.

"I'm back. I'm glad I'm back."

Gu Huan bowed to him and said, "I'm sorry for making Second Uncle worried."

"It's good that you are back safely. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to Pei Yi. Juzhou has been in chaos these past two days. The prefect was killed."

Speaking of this, Pei Jinglei's expression changed.

"We are planning to go back. Do you want to go back to Jiangling with us first?"

Gu Huan shook her head: "I'll stay here."
