The Son of God was looking at his face carefully in front of the mirror.
After using Shangguan Wanning's blood to restore his appearance, he finally felt relieved from his heavy mood.
Suddenly, a dark shadow seemed to flash past outside the window.
He hesitated slightly, picked up the candle and went out.
The long corridor was dark and silent. He observed for a long time but saw nothing happening, so he turned around and went back to his room.
but……
The Son of God saw that there was one more person in the room without him noticing.
He sat calmly at the table with a long sword in front of him.
"General Mu is a martial arts expert, and his reputation is well-deserved." The Holy Son calmed himself down and slowly walked to sit down opposite Mu Jingrui.
Mu Jingrui had a blank expression on his face, his hands on the table, his eyes meeting with the Son of God.
"My martial arts are definitely several times better than yours, but... in other aspects, I am also inferior to you." There seemed to be no ripples in Mu Jingrui's voice, "For example, cruelty, coldness and selfishness."
"Thank you General Mu for praising me." The Holy Son did not feel ashamed. "If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. It is human nature for me to think for myself."
"You're right. So, I hate it when others plot against me and deceive me." Mu Jingrui's face darkened, and a sharp cold light flashed in his eyes. "We have kept our promise, but you have reservations."
The Son of God paused slightly, but it was fleeting.
"I don't quite understand what General Mu means."
"Foolish people don't live long. If you really don't understand, then I won't force you. Anyway... it doesn't matter what happens to dead people."
Mu Jingrui's thumb was on the hilt of the sword, and the Son of God's feet unconsciously moved back.
"I know you are good at martial arts, but I tell you, you are no match for me. Unless you are absolutely sure that you can run faster than my sword energy."
A chill ran down the Son's spine, and his voice grew colder.
"What do you want?"
"I asked one of your people to look at the prescription you gave me. Although it can temporarily detoxify, but... is there something reserved?"
Mu Jingrui asked a military doctor to look at the prescription for detoxifying the poison in Sun Jinyao's body, but the doctor could not find any flaws or problems.
However, given the Son of God's despicable character, Mu Jingrui could never fully believe it.
If it were him, he would do something if he had the chance, maybe it would be useful in the future.
"Who told you?" The Son of God's expression changed slightly.
"Who told me that? Don't you know what's going on?" Mu Jingrui slowly drew out his sword. "Actually, I don't have to save Sun Jinyao. It's just that I don't like being controlled by others. If you're willing to tell me, I'll give you one last chance. If you're not willing, forget it."
As he spoke, Mu Jingrui pointed his sword at the Son of God.
The Holy Son holds a high status among the barbarians. He has never suffered such injustice.
His eyes widened and he reached out to grab Mu Jingrui's sword.
Mu Jingrui turned the sword a few times and cut off three fingers of the Son of God.
The Holy Son was about to scream in pain, but Mu Jingrui grabbed his throat.
"You don't have a chance to speak." Mu Jingrui said viciously with a fierce look in his eyes.
"I said...I said..."
Mu Jingrui's heart skipped a beat and he was furious.
This guy, is he really holding back?
"Add Tianshan Snow Lotus as a medicine, otherwise, the disease will relapse in four or five years."
"Where is Ning'er?" Mu Jingrui was very worried that Shangguan Wanning would suffer from any sequelae.
"She will really be fine..." Shengzi felt the fierce murderous aura emanating from Mu Jingrui, and his whole body went numb. "She is my medicine, how could I do anything to her? If you don't believe me, you can ask anyone you want."
Mu Jingrui let go of the Son of God, slowly stood up, and looked down at him.
The Son of God looked into his eyes and felt an unprecedented chill.
"Do you know that you have stepped on my bottom line?" Mu Jingrui turned around, swung the sword in his hand lightly, blinded the Son of God's eyes, and drew a cross on his face.
Although the Son of God did not see Shangguan Wanning's body, in Mu Jingrui's heart, he still desecrated the woman he loved most.
The Holy Son rolled on the ground in pain, and Mu Jingrui left calmly.
The next morning, Mu Jingrui led his troops and left the capital of the barbarians and returned to the interior.
He told the military doctor the method of curing Sun Jinyao, but unfortunately, there was no Tianshan Snow Lotus at the moment. However, after drinking the medicine, Sun Jinyao had regained consciousness.
He discussed and researched with Shangguan Wanning and the military doctor and decided that the poison in his body could be suppressed temporarily, and he could use the Tianshan Snow Lotus after arriving in the capital.
Shangguan Wanning felt that as long as she returned to the capital, Lu Xiangzi would definitely find a way, so she felt much relieved.
"Brother Yao, you should have a good rest. When you return to the capital, you will be fine with Master here."
"Thank you for making you worry these days."
Sun Jinyao looked at Shangguan Wanning, who was safe in front of him, and a smile appeared unconsciously on the corner of his mouth.
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Shangguan Wanning let Sun Jinyao lie down. "I'm going back to my room first. If you need anything, ask the maid to call me."
Shangguan Wanning walked out of Sun Jinyao's room and saw Mu Jingrui leaning against the pillar, so she immediately went to meet him.
"General Mu, are you free today?"
"Your body hasn't recovered yet, yet you come here to take care of him. Aren't you afraid that I'll be jealous?" Mu Jingrui took Shangguan Wanning's hand and looked at her wound.
"It's healed. I just lost a little more blood."
"If you recover, I plan to return to Beijing immediately."
"Okay, I also want to go back early. I wonder if my mother is feeling better now."
"Then pack up and leave at any time. I'll go out for another inspection today."
"Um."
Mu Jingrui gave Shangguan Wanning a few words of advice, then took Zheng Zhixing and several thousand soldiers to the nearby area to deploy defenses and patrol.
In the evening, we set up camp in a flat and open area.
Late at night, when Mu Jingrui was about to undress and rest, he heard a series of strange noises outside the military tent.
He hurried out and just as he lifted the curtain, something hit him in the face.
He dodged subconsciously and knocked the foreign object down with a palm. When he looked down, he found that it was a huge bat.
The scene at the Barbarian Altar flashed through Mu Jingrui's mind. Before he had time to think, countless bats came towards him.
He dodged hurriedly, took out his sword and waved it, and heart-wrenching screams continued to be heard all around.
Mu Jingrui looked around and saw that almost every soldier was being besieged by bats.
"Knowledge and action?"
Mu Jingrui immediately went towards Zheng Zhixing's military tent, but before he had gone far, a dark shadow pounced towards him.
He smelled a pungent stench.
