Zheng Zhixing leaned back. He knew Shangguan Wanning's personality and she would definitely not give up if he didn't take her with him.
"You can let me take you there, but we have an agreement. No matter what you see, you must stay calm. This is not the capital after all."
Shangguan Wanning put her fingers down.
She rarely saw Zheng Zhixing so serious, and her already anxious heart became even more nervous.
"good."
When Zheng Zhixing saw that Shangguan Wanning agreed, he greeted the guarding soldiers, took her and Sun Jinyao inside, and went straight to Mu Jingrui's military tent.
"General Mu, I have something to ask you."
"Come in."
This voice sounded full of energy, strong and powerful. Sun Jinyao couldn't help but frowned, as if...
I'm not sick and I don't have any internal injuries.
Zheng Zhixing lifted the curtain of the military tent, and the three of them walked in together. He looked around and said to himself, "That was a close call."
Fortunately, that woman was not there, otherwise Shangguan Wanning and her might have fought on the spot.
"What's up?"
Mu Jingrui didn't even raise his head, his eyes always stayed on the map in front of him.
His mind was in a daze, and he couldn't calm down to think. In these head-on confrontations with the barbarians, he was almost defeated every time.
Where exactly is the problem?
"General Mu, your friend is here to see you."
As soon as Zheng Zhixing finished speaking, Mu Jingrui slowly raised his head.
When he saw Shangguan Wanning, a woman dressed as a man, he was stunned and then stood up.
"Ning'er? Why are you here?" Mu Jingrui raised the corners of his lips into a smile and walked quickly to Shangguan Wanning.
Shangguan Wanning was a little suspicious.
She looked at Mu Jingrui carefully. "I heard that you were seriously ill and couldn't go to war. I was very worried about you, so I came with Brother Yao to see you."
Brother Yao?
When did Shangguan Wanning and Sun Jinyao become so close?
Mu Jingrui felt a little jealous, but out of manliness he didn't show it on his face.
"How are you? Are you okay?" Shangguan Wanning asked with concern.
"It's okay." Mu Jingrui's voice suddenly turned colder, and he said, "After all, this is not a place for girls. I'll let Zhixing take you back to the city. You can stay in the government office for a few days, and then go home."
"Jingrui, you..." Shangguan Wanning felt that Mu Jingrui's attitude was a little strange.
At this time, the curtain of the military tent was lifted again, and a pretty woman walked in from outside, holding a bowl of medicine in her hand.
"General Mu, it's time to take your medicine."
Shangguan Wanning was stunned for a moment, and saw from the corner of her eye that Mu Jingrui looked a little embarrassed.
She remembered Zheng Zhixing's attitude just now, and her woman's intuition made her understand what was going on instantly.
No wonder Mu Jingrui was so anxious to let her go.
Shangguan Wanning looked at Mu Jingrui and sneered, "It seems that I have come all the way here in vain. Since General Mu doesn't need me for anything, I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."
"Hey, wait a minute." Zheng Zhixing held Shangguan Wanning's hand, turned to Mu Jingrui and said, "General Mu, it will take a long time to get back to the city from here. If there is any delay on the way, she will have to sleep outdoors. She has never suffered such hardship before. Otherwise, let her stay in the camp for one night, and I will send her off tomorrow, okay?"
Shangguan Wanning was very dissatisfied and wanted to shake off Zheng Zhixing's hand.
But Zheng Zhixing pressed her wrist a few times without saying anything.
Does he have anything else to say?
Shangguan Wanning calmed down and looked at Mu Jingrui.
"Okay." Mu Jingrui breathed a sigh of relief. He also wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Shangguan Wanning alone. "Zhixing, arrange for Ning'er and Young Master Sun to stay."
Zheng Zhixing pulled Shangguan Wanning out and arranged for her and Sun Jinyao to settle down in the empty military camp in the middle.
"Who was that woman just now?" Sun Jinyao asked casually.
Zheng Zhixing recounted what had happened before.
"I don't know what happened, but General Mu kept Chang Qingqing by his side and served her personally. I don't know if I'm being overly suspicious, but since she stayed with General Mu, our situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and we've lost every battle with the barbarians."
Shangguan Wanning gradually calmed down.
Based on her understanding of Mu Jingrui, he is definitely not a lustful person. Moreover, Chang Qingqing's appearance is not stunning.
"If there really was something wrong with Chang Qingqing, how could Jing Rui, with his wit and sharpness, not notice it?"
Zheng Zhixing snorted, not taking it seriously. "He's obsessed with sex. What man isn't like that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he was also a man, so he added: "Except me."
Shangguan Wanning rolled her eyes at Zheng Zhixing and seemed to be thinking about something.
After lighting the lamps, Zheng Zhixing sent someone to bring them dinner, and then led the team out on patrol.
Shangguan Wanning had nothing to do so she wandered around the camp. When she came to the kitchen, she saw Chang Qingqing decocting medicine alone.
She hesitated a little and then walked up.
"Is Miss Qingqing decocting medicine for General Mu?"
Chang Qingqing turned around, bowed, and saluted Shangguan Wanning. "Yes, General Mu has not been in good health recently, and I hope he gets better soon."
"Thank you for your hard work." Shangguan Wanning lowered her head to look at the medicine, sniffed it secretly, and found nothing unusual.
Alas, it’s my fault that I’m not skilled enough.
"As far as I know, during the march, General Mu's food and daily life should be taken care of by his personal soldiers. How come... Miss Qingqing is being troubled?"
Chang Qingqing lowered her head, her cheeks flushed.
This expression made Shangguan Wanning clench her fists.
This guy Mu Jingrui must have done something wrong to her.
"General Mu said... that he likes me to stay with him..."
"Then you should serve him well."
Shangguan Wanning came out of the kitchen, her nose smoking with anger, and she wanted to rush over to question Mu Jingrui immediately.
She returned to the military tent angrily and saw Mu Jingrui sitting inside drinking tea leisurely.
"You're back?"
Shangguan Wanning glared at Mu Jingrui fiercely, then immediately walked to the other side, picked up her luggage and was about to leave.
"Where are you going?" Mu Jingrui grabbed her wrist and asked softly, "We just got here and we haven't had a good chat yet."
Mu Jingrui reached out to stroke Shangguan Wanning's long hair, but was shaken away by Shangguan Wanning.
"Nothing to say. I shouldn't have come in the first place."
“Ning’er…” Mu Jingrui increased the strength of his palm, and pulled Shangguan Wanning into his arms. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, “It’s not like this… It’s not what you see…”
Shangguan Wanning's nose felt sore. She felt that Mu Jingrui's tone completely admitted that there was a problem between him and Chang Qingqing.
