"Marshal! It's bad!" The war was at its peak, but Zu Bingyuan was told that Hua Jin had been abducted by the Qi army, and a note was left asking him to go to Qingtian Mountain alone to pick her up.

"Marshal, don't ruin your plan for a woman!"

Zu Bingyuan glanced at the young general. He hadn't seen Hua Jin truly smile for a long time since he last advised him that Hua Jin might be a spy sent by the enemy.

Zu Bingyuan handed over the affairs of the army to the general and rode into the mountains.

"General!"

Zu Bingyuan followed the sound and saw Hua Jin. He knew there was an ambush nearby, but he still ran over immediately: "Jin'er, are you... okay?"

Hua Jin shook her head: "I'm fine."

"General Zu is indeed a romantic man, he really came here alone. Hua Jin, you are indeed quite charming."

Zu Bingyuan couldn't believe it when he heard this: "Jin'er..."

"Hua Jin, the master asked us to give him a ride. Do you want to do it, or should I?"

Zu Bingyuan took Hua Jin behind him and said to the smiling Yu Tang, "Don't stir up trouble!"

But he watched Hua Jin pull out a dagger from his sleeve and was speechless for a moment.

"Um……"

Hua Jin inserted the dagger into Zu Bingyuan's abdomen, and Zu Bingyuan groaned in pain.

"You...why didn't you hide?" Hua Jin put down the dagger and looked at his hands covered in Zu Bingyuan's blood. He began to tremble. "Why didn't you hide?"

"Jin'er, you are my woman, I will never hide from you."

Zu Bingyuan covered his wound, but the blood from his abdomen continued to flow. "Jin'er, I just want to ask you one thing: when you say you like me, do you really mean it?"

Hua Jin looked at Zu Bingyuan without saying a word, just crying.

"Even if it's just a tiny bit, uh..." Zu Bingyuan knelt on one knee on the ground, his face pale from excessive blood loss. "Even if it's just a little bit, tell me!"

Hua Jin used a killing move, and she didn't expect Zu Bingyuan to not even dodge it. Now her mind was full of the scene of her inserting the dagger into Zu Bingyuan's abdomen.

"Jin'er..."

Hua Jin used some lightness skills to leave Zu Bingyuan lying on the ground.

.

Lijiazhuang.

After Hua Jin finished recounting her past, she forced a smile and said, "So, by that count, I only truly cried for him that one time. The rest were all acting."

Liu Qinghuan opened his own quilt, got into Hua Jin's, and hugged her tightly: "You've fallen in love with him, haven't you?"

Hua Jin smiled and nodded. She didn't know why she told Liu Qinghuan this unpleasant story. Except for Yutang, no one knew who she had really cried for.

Hua Jin looked at Liu Qinghuan who had been stroking her back. Maybe... it was because this girl was too warm.

"You shouldn't have killed him."

"That's an order."

"Do you hate Zijun?"

"No hate."

"Can……"

"I am the master's personal guard, and it is my duty to follow orders. The master's kindness... is something I cannot repay even with my life."

At that time, Hua Jin even thought about committing suicide.

But her life belongs to her master, and she shouldn't decide whether to live or die.

Liu Qinghuan only sighed in his heart about Hua Jin's tragic experience and said no more.

"Today I allow you to hold me while I sleep, and I won't tell Zijun." Liu Qinghuan knew that Hua Jin was always threatened by Ye Heng's glares, so she said this deliberately to lighten the atmosphere.

"Okay." Hua Jin rubbed Liu Qinghuan's head and tucked the corner of the quilt for her.

"Then let's go to bed early."

"good."

Hua Jin felt much better after speaking out what was weighing on her mind.

The two of them slept very soundly that night, so Hua Jin didn't get up in the morning and stayed in bed with Liu Qinghuan.
