How long have they been apart and he has already fallen in love with someone else?
Shangguan Wanning couldn't accept this.
"Mu Jingrui, let me go..."
"Ning'er, listen to me. I want to tell you, actually..."
Before Mu Jingrui could finish his words, he heard a noisy and chaotic fight coming from outside.
He had no choice but to let Shangguan Wanning go and walk out.
Shangguan Wanning hesitated slightly and followed him out.
In the open space of the camp, a large group of soldiers armed with spears and bows and arrows surrounded Sun Jinyao.
Shangguan Wanning was horrified and was about to rush over when she was stopped by Mu Jingrui again.
"When?" Mu Jingrui glanced around with his sharp eyes.
"General Mu..."
Chang Qingqing ran out of the military tent with disheveled hair.
The front of her shirt was torn into a large piece, and she could only hold it tightly with both hands. There were also several bloody scratches on her face caused by her fingernails.
Chang Qingqing ran to Mu Jingrui and knelt down, crying and saying, "General Mu, it's all my fault, he..."
She looked at Sun Jinyao, and her tears fell even harder. "Just now, I was changing clothes, and he suddenly broke in and wanted to... I refused, so he..."
"Impossible, Brother Yao is definitely not like that." Shangguan Wanning interrupted Chang Qingqing and looked at Mu Jingrui. "He and I have been together all the way, and he has always been humble and polite. He has never done anything beyond the limit. He is a gentleman."
Mu Jingrui snorted coldly, and when he looked at Shangguan Wanning, there was a hint of contempt in his eyes.
"A gentleman? Have you forgotten what kind of reputation Mr. Sun has in the capital? He is a frequent visitor to red-light districts and prostitutes."
Shangguan Wanning looked at Mu Jingrui in disbelief.
"You believe her, but not me?"
"I just don't believe Sun Jinyao." Mu Jingrui took a few steps forward and looked at Sun Jinyao, and asked, "Do you have any explanation?"
"I have no improper thoughts about her, and things are not as she said. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
"I don't believe it."
As soon as Mu Jingrui finished speaking, he waved his arm lightly, and the soldiers' bows and arrows shot towards Sun Jinyao.
Shangguan Wanning turned pale with fright, and subconsciously ran towards Sun Jinyao.
"Are you crazy?" Mu Jingrui didn't expect Shangguan Wanning to be willing to give up her life for Sun Jinyao.
"Mu Jingrui, you are crazy."
Shangguan Wanning struggled for a few times, then angrily shouted: "You would rather believe this woman's one-sided words? Do you know that you might kill a good person by mistake?"
"What good man? How can Sun Jinyao be considered a good man? When he was helping Xiao Zhenting do something that was harmful to the world, you were still hiding in your boudoir embroidering." Mu Jingrui grabbed Shangguan Wanning with more force and said in a sonorous and powerful voice, "I won't wrongly accuse him."
Shangguan Wanning was both anxious and angry. She watched Sun Jinyao being besieged by soldiers and unable to break out, and was worried that he would die.
She couldn't understand why Mu Jingrui, who was originally rational and calm, suddenly became so arrogant and despotic.
Suddenly, a large group of horses broke out of the stable and galloped over, and the scene became chaotic in an instant.
Sun Jinyao took the opportunity to jump on his horse and break out of the chaos.
Shangguan Wanning chased for a few steps and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Until the scene quieted down, she was still staring blankly in the direction where Sun Jinyao disappeared.
"Worried about him?" Mu Jingrui walked to Shangguan Wanning's side and taunted her with jealousy, "He was injured in the fight just now. Even if I didn't kill him on the spot, it would be difficult for him to survive."
Shangguan Wanning turned around and looked at Mu Jingrui angrily, growling, "If anything happens to him... Mu Jingrui, I will never forgive you in my life."
Mu Jingrui's heart skipped a beat and anger surged in his heart.
"Shangguan Wanning, can you say it again?"
"I'll say it ten times. If anything happens to him, I will never forgive you in my life."
"You..." Mu Jingrui raised his hand high, but did not put it down for a long time.
He looked at Shangguan Wanning's tearful eyes filled with stubbornness and hatred, clenched his fists, and slowly put down his hands.
"General Mu, I'm sorry..." Chang Qingqing walked over, gently pulled Mu Jingrui's clothes, and said pitifully, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have had a conflict with your friends. It's all my fault..."
"It has nothing to do with you." Mu Jingrui turned around, picked up Chang Qingqing horizontally, left Shangguan Wanning behind, and walked towards the military tent.
Shangguan Wanning watched Mu Jingrui's back gradually disappear, and suddenly felt that this man was very strange.
"Cousin, are you okay?"
Zheng Zhixing hurried over, sweating profusely, and sighed, "I told you a long time ago not to see him. Now... you regret it, don't you?"
Shangguan Wanning felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. She tried hard not to let her tears fall. "I really don't understand why he became like this..."
"Alas, there are so many reasons for a man to change his mind."
Zheng Zhixing really doesn't know how to comfort people. His words are just like rubbing salt into Shangguan Wanning's wounds.
"Forget it, I don't want to see him anymore. Zhixing, I'm leaving. I'm afraid something might happen to Brother Yao, I want to go find him."
"Can you do it alone?" Zheng Zhixing gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go with you."
The two had only taken a few steps when several soldiers surrounded them.
Zheng Zhixing protected Shangguan Wanning behind him, puffed out his chest and asked, "What are you doing?"
"General Mu has ordered that you cannot leave."
"Why?" Shangguan Wan Ning was indignant.
"If Zheng Zhixing leaves the camp without permission, he will be charged with desertion and executed on the spot."
Shangguan Wanning's face changed.
Mu Jingrui is indeed qualified to do so.
"Zhixing, you stay."
"No, how can I let you leave alone? Do you know how chaotic it is out there? If something happens to you, how am I going to explain to my aunt when I get back?"
Seeing that the two were inseparable, the soldier sneered, "You don't have to fight. No one can leave."
After saying that, they surrounded them and forcibly took Shangguan Wanning and Zheng Zhixing back to the military tent.
Mu Jingrui stayed in Chang Qingqing's military tent all night without coming out.
Shangguan Wanning felt hopeless.
In the next few days, the barbarians continued to launch attacks, and the team led by Mu Jingrui was almost defeated.
Shangguan Wanning was also led to retreat again and again.
Until Mu Jingrui's team was almost forced into a desperate situation, and the only way back was to go back to the interior of the country.
In order to defeat the imperial court's 200,000 elite troops in one fell swoop, the barbarians mobilized in full force.
At this moment, Mu Jingrui suddenly changed his battle strategy and led the barbarian troops into the valley and surrounded them.
At this point, even if Mu Jingrui did not order an attack, as long as they did not retreat, the 80,000 barbarian troops would starve to death.
I heard that the one leading these 80,000 troops is the most honorable Holy Son of the Barbarian Tribe.
