When Shangguan Wanning woke up again, she found herself lying in an unfamiliar place. The air seemed to be filled with a light yet special fragrance.
She tapped her forehead, her memory frozen at the moment she fainted.
At this time, someone lifted the curtain of the military tent and walked in.
Shangguan Wanning looked up and saw a tall and handsome young man standing in front of her.
She could feel the man's interested gaze, which seemed to be a bit teasing. She clenched her fists in vigilance.
"Don't be nervous, I won't hurt you." Li Binhao smiled calmly and made a gesture, and the soldiers who accompanied him put down a set of clean clothes.
"Put it on."
Shangguan Wanning took a look and found that it was actually a set of women's clothing.
"I heard from the captured soldiers that you are Mu Jingrui's sweetheart. They were all very confused as to why a man as strong as Mu Jingrui would like a man."
After Li Binhao finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something interesting, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
"Those people... are really short-sighted." The first time Li Binhao saw Shangguan Wanning, he knew she was a woman.
Shangguan Wanning snorted coldly and turned her head to the side, but her heart was in turmoil and her thoughts were in a mess.
She absolutely could not admit her relationship with Mu Jingrui, otherwise, what if they used her as a bargaining chip to threaten Mu Jingrui?
"I will come back in half an hour. If you haven't changed your clothes by then, then... I will change them for you myself."
After Li Binhao finished speaking, he suddenly moved closer and stood in front of Shangguan Wanning.
Shangguan Wanning was anxious and angry, she raised her hand and hit Li Binhao.
Li Binhao grabbed her wrist and shook it off, took a few steps back, and walked away laughing.
Shangguan Wanning was deeply impressed by Li Binhao after just one meeting. She tried hard to think about whether she had any memory of this person in her previous life.
She vaguely remembered hearing her father mention that Prince Ming of the Western Xia Kingdom was a young hero who was deeply loved by the people of his country and was good at using troops.
I have no impression of anything else.
Shangguan Wanning sighed secretly. She absolutely believed that Li Binhao could do what he said.
With no other options, she had to get up and change into women's clothes.
Sure enough, Li Binhao came as promised.
The moment he saw Shangguan Wanning, his eyes lit up and flashed with a stunning light. He stared blankly, his heart surging.
"Have you seen enough?" Shangguan Wanning said coldly.
Li Binhao came back to his senses and laughed, "You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. I think... Mu Jingrui will definitely miss you."
Shangguan Wanning's heart skipped a beat, but she pretended to be calm and said, "You really think highly of me. No matter how much he can't bear to part with me, my position won't be more important than his. Men... humph!"
Li Binhao frowned slightly, as if... it made sense.
He had fought with Mu Jingrui so many times, losing more than winning. This was the biggest setback he had encountered since he was old enough to understand.
He really wanted to defeat Mu Jingrui completely, but the problem was that this goal was a bit difficult.
Anyway, we are at a stalemate now, so we can try any method.
"Then let me help you test Mu Jingrui's feelings." Li Binhao stepped forward and lifted Shangguan Wanning's chin, smiling wickedly, "If he doesn't want you, then come back to Xixia with me. I want you."
Shangguan Wanning shook off Li Binhao's hand in disgust and felt cold all over.
Li Binhao walked out laughing, leaving her alone, feeling hopeless.
Shangguan Wanning began to feel a little panicked.
She didn't want to be taken back to Xixia by Li Binhao, but would Mu Jingrui... take the risk to save her? Saving her would definitely cost him a heavy price, and it might affect his future.
In her impression of her previous life, Mu Jingrui’s pursuit and desire for power was so strong.
The spies sent by Mu Jingrui reported that the team escorting the wounded to evacuate was completely wiped out, and none of the wounded soldiers or military doctors survived.
Just when he was so sad about Shangguan Wanning that he was almost vomiting blood, Li Binhao sent someone to deliver a letter.
After reading it, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad, and his face turned pale.
"Marshal Mu, our prince has checked you and found that your sweetheart is a girl." The messenger smiled obscenely.
This made a strong murderous intent flash in Mu Jingrui's eyes.
"Don't get me wrong, this is not the kind of inspection you think. Don't worry, she is absolutely innocent now. Our prince said that if you want her to live, you should return to the interior of the country and hand over all the food and military pay you brought with you. How about that?"
If we run out of food and military pay, how can we continue the war?
If the court blames him, it will be useless even if Xiao Yujue is willing to protect him. He will not have enough heads to chop off even if he has ten.
"What else did your General Li say?" Mu Jingrui's voice was cold.
The messenger shuddered involuntarily, suppressed his sense of superiority, and spoke in a softer voice.
"Our prince said that if you don't agree... then... he will keep the girl by himself. We will continue to fight as usual. He will enter the bridal chamber with the girl tonight."
The murderous intent in Mu Jingrui's eyes became even stronger.
"He dares!" Mu Jingrui rushed in front of the messenger and grabbed his neck with his hand. "Go back and tell Li Binhao that he can't make me retreat. I, Mu Jingrui, can have any woman I want. Don't try to threaten me with a woman."
Hearing Mu Jingrui say this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
They were so worried that Mu Jingrui would act on impulse and indulge in sentimental relationships.
"Get out!" Mu Jingrui pushed the messenger away before he died.
The messenger was so frightened by Mu Jingrui's momentum that he completely lost his temper and retreated in embarrassment with his entourage.
"He really said that?"
After hearing the messenger's report, Li Binhao's expression did not change much, he just looked at the table calmly.
This result...seems to be expected. So...
Li Binhao looked towards Shangguan Wanning, smiled slightly, and said, "It seems that you are indeed unimportant to her. But I am very curious, who are you...?"
Shangguan Wanning's heart sank.
She didn't know whether Mu Jingrui's reply meant he had really given up on her or he had other plans.
However, she would not be stupid enough to reveal her identity.
She took a deep breath secretly and answered, "A singer who was trafficked here."
Li Binhao was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand to signal everyone to go out.
"That's no wonder. But it doesn't matter. If Mu Jingrui doesn't want you, I'll take you in. Tonight..."
Shangguan Wanning leaned back and tried to keep a distance from Li Binhao.
"Then tell me who is better, me or Mu Jingrui."
Li Binhao lifted Shangguan Wanning's chin.
Shangguan Wanning's eyes moved, and she turned around and bit his wrist hard.
