In the evening, Li Binhao received a secret letter. The battle had not yet come to a conclusion, and the ministers in the court began to complain. His brother also hoped that he could go back as soon as possible.
However, he was still unwilling to accept the fact that he had not defeated an opponent like Mu Jingrui.
Li Binhao looked at the teeth marks on his wrist and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He drank the last sip of wine in the glass, stood up and walked towards the resting tent.
Inside the military tent, the candlelight was dim, and a beautiful figure was looming behind the bed curtain. Li Binhao couldn't help but feel hot all over.
He walked towards the bed step by step and lifted the bed curtain. Shangguan Wanning turned around and met his eyes.
Li Binhao's heart warmed and he reached out to embrace Shangguan Wanning in his arms.
"In a moment...will you bite me again?"
Shangguan Wanning struggled a few times but failed to break free, and could not help but grit her teeth. "Guess."
Li Binhao tilted his body, pressed Shangguan Wanning on his chest, and kissed her neck.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Shangguan Wanning pinched the silver needle between her fingers and stabbed it towards the back of Li Binhao's head.
Unexpectedly, Li Binhao remained vigilant at this time.
He grabbed Shangguan Wanning's wrist with his backhand, took away her silver needle and said with a smile: "Want to help me acupuncture the acupoints? No need, even without any assistance, I will satisfy you."
Shangguan Wanning was a little desperate, and she tried her best to push Li Binhao away.
"You are the prince of Xixia after all. Don't you feel ashamed for doing such a thing? Let me go."
"Aren't you a diva? What you are doing with me now is your daily routine. Why should I be ashamed? Unless... you are not a diva."
Shangguan Wan Ning was speechless. She couldn't say that she was Princess An Ning of the imperial court, or the daughter of the prime minister's mansion, but...
"hiss!"
Shangguan Wanning's clothes were torn, and fear clearly surged over her.
"No... Li Binhao, let me go..."
Li Binhao ignored Shangguan Wanning's struggle. He only felt the heat in his body expanding in every pore and was about to explode.
Suddenly, the candle in the military tent went out, and a strong sword energy attacked him.
He rolled over to avoid it, but his clothes were still torn.
It was pitch black all around, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Shangguan Wanning heard the sound of fighting, and she hurriedly tidied her clothes, trying to escape from the military tent in the chaos.
But she hadn't taken two steps out of bed when she seemed to kick something and fell heavily to the ground.
"ah!"
Shangguan Wanning couldn't help but scream. As soon as she finished speaking, she felt her body lighten and someone lifted her up.
"It's me."
A familiar voice in her ears brought tears to Shangguan Wanning's eyes.
She was nervous and excited, and clutched the collar of Mu Jingrui's shirt tightly.
The fight in the military tent alarmed the patrolling soldiers outside, who rushed in with torches in hand.
Mu Jingrui wielded the sword with one hand, killed the intruding soldiers, and rushed out with Shangguan Wanning.
He saw Shangguan Wanning's clothes were disheveled and her hair was messy. Thinking of what the messenger said, he couldn't help but feel hatred and annoyance, and hugged her tightly with heartache.
Outside the military tent, a group of soldiers rushed over.
A dozen men in black holding long swords entered the battle circle to protect Mu Jingrui.
Li Binhao put on his clothes and walked out. Although all the assassins had their faces covered, he still guessed their identities.
He felt cheated.
"Marshal Mu came here late at night, why not show your true face?"
Mu Jingrui made a sword flower to stop the fight and took off the black scarf that covered his face in front of Li Binhao.
"It turns out that Marshal Mu is just like a woman, saying one thing but thinking another." Li Binhao looked at Shangguan Wanning who was hiding in Mu Jingrui's arms, and said meaningfully, "He said no, but actually... he really wants it."
Mu Jingrui's heart was trembling, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.
"Since Marshal Mu is here, why don't you leave? Stay for a few days and let me show my hospitality. How about that?"
"No need. General Li, I will come to see you again."
"What a joke. What do you think this place is? You can come as you please and leave as you please..."
"There's a fire. The granary is on fire."
Panicked shouts of soldiers were heard in the distance, and now it was Li Binhao's turn to change his expression.
"Mu Jingrui, you are so despicable."
"Hmph, same here."
"Don't even think about leaving alive." Li Binhao waved his hand, and a group of archers rushed up and surrounded Mu Jingrui and others.
Suddenly, all the horses in the stable rushed out of the fence and ran around like crazy, and the camp was instantly in chaos.
Mu Jingrui took advantage of the chaos to pick up Shangguan Wanning and jumped onto the horse's back, with his men covering his rear.
The fire and the chaotic herd of horses left the soldiers in the camp at a loss.
Seeing that Mu Jingrui and Shangguan Wanning were about to escape from the camp, Li Binhao snatched the bow and arrow from the soldier next to him and put three arrows on the bow at the same time.
As the arrow left the bow, Mu Jingrui sensed the danger. He picked up Shangguan Wanning and jumped into the air to dodge.
He shot down two sharp arrows, and the other one was about to pierce Shangguan Wanning's body. He turned his body to the side and used his body to protect Shangguan Wanning.
"Jing Rui..."
Mu Jingrui gritted his teeth while enduring the severe pain and whispered, "Hold me tight."
Shangguan Wanning felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. She hugged Mu Jingrui's waist and galloped away on her horse.
The two of them ran all the way, and Shangguan Wanning didn't even know which direction they were heading.
She looked at the arrow in Mu Jingrui's back and her vision was blurred by tears.
"Jingrui, you will die if you continue like this. Let's stop and find a place to heal our wounds, okay?"
Mu Jingrui really couldn't hold on any longer. He got off the horse with Shangguan Wanning in his arms, held the sword tightly in his hand, and let the horse continue to run forward.
With the help of Shangguan Wanning, he came to a slope with cloaks. He sat on the ground, feeling weak all over and his lips turned pale.
"Jingrui?" Shangguan Wanning looked at Mu Jingrui with his eyes almost closed, a little panicked.
She patted Mu Jingrui's cheek, her voice trembling. "Don't sleep... Don't sleep..."
Mu Jingrui looked at Shangguan Wanning and smiled. "I'm glad you're okay... Don't worry, I'm in good health, you can pull the arrow out for me. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
“Pull… out?”
Shangguan Wanning was a little scared. "But what if the bleeding doesn't stop? We don't have any medicine to stop the bleeding..."
"You can seal my acupuncture points with silver needles to stop the bleeding temporarily." Mu Jingrui held Shangguan Wanning's hand, "I give my life to you. I trust you."
Shangguan Wanning had never been so panicked as she was now.
She looked at the sharp arrow on Mu Jingrui's back and prepared the silver needle in her hand. But she couldn't make it.
"Don't be afraid. Ning'er, be brave."
Shangguan Wanning felt a little ashamed. It was Mu Jingrui who was injured, but she wanted him to comfort her instead.
