"Master Mu...Master Mu..."
Mu Jingrui vaguely heard a noisy sound.
He slowly opened his eyes, but the dazzling sunlight made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he closed them again subconsciously.
After a long time, until he gradually adapted, he opened his eyes again.
He saw seven or eight burly men standing in front of him, all familiar faces.
Mu Jingrui calmed himself down, took a deep breath, and asked, "Where am I? How did you find me?"
"In reply to Lord Mu, we received a pigeon message from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and were ordered to search for you. We found out that you were imprisoned by the Soul-Catching Hall, so we tried to rescue you. We destroyed the Soul-Catching Hall's branch the night before yesterday, but did not see you, so we searched for you again."
"We chased you here last night and found you lying in the pit, so we rescued you."
While his subordinates were reporting, Mu Jingrui was looking around.
It was still the wilderness here, but now he was being carried to a large rock and was lying on top of it.
He closed his eyes again, and all the scenes he remembered flashed quickly through his mind.
"Just me?"
Mu Jingrui's sudden question puzzled his subordinates. They looked at each other and replied, "When we found you, you were alone. By the way, Master Mu, how did you escape from the Soul-Catching Hall?"
Mu Jingrui did not answer, but asked, "Where is Xiao Zhenting now?"
"After you disappeared, my subordinates and other spies lost track of him. If he had a smooth journey, then... according to the itinerary, he might have reached Bihe County."
Mu Jingrui secretly clenched his fists, feeling very annoyed.
Once Xiao Zhenting arrives in Bihe County, it will be difficult for them to kill him again.
There are so many eyes watching in the court, and the impeachment memorials from the censors could drown Xiao Yujue.
"Master Mu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has instructed us to return to the capital immediately after we find you, and we will discuss other matters later."
Mu Jingrui nodded helplessly.
Given his current physical condition, he really can't do much.
"Send someone to the nearby Soul-Snatching Hall branch to look for them and see if you can find their leader. I want him alive."
"yes."
Mu Jingrui's physical condition was very bad. He could only receive treatment while traveling, and his recovery was very slow.
"Brother, why are you..."
When Mu Jingyan learned that Mu Jingrui had returned home, he immediately rushed to visit him. Seeing his brother covered in wounds, he burst into tears out of heartache.
"Brother, I'll find the imperial physician right away..."
"No." Mu Jingrui stopped him immediately, "You can't let too many people know that I was injured, otherwise, there will be endless troubles."
As the Minister of War, many people were watching him, and he didn't want to be caught by people with ulterior motives.
"But your injury..."
"Don't worry, I have found a divine doctor who is absolutely trustworthy and will definitely be able to cure Jing Rui's injury."
Xiao Yujue pulled Mu Jingyan back and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
"Jing Rui...Jing Rui..."
When Mu Jingrui heard the familiar voice, he was startled and turned around quickly, and saw Shangguan Wanning standing at the door.
At that moment, longing for you came flooding in like a flood, and all the pain in my body seemed to become insignificant.
"Ning'er." Mu Jingrui's voice became gentle.
Mu Jingyan wanted to rush over to stop Shangguan Wanning from coming in, but was stopped by Xiao Yujue.
Xiao Yujue shook her head slightly and pulled Mu Jingyan out.
"Why are you pulling me?" Mu Jingyan broke free from Xiao Yujue's hand and pouted angrily, "Did you ask her to come here? What did you ask her to do? Do you think my brother's injury is not serious enough?"
"I'm helping your brother. Silly boy, don't you think Shangguan Wan Ning is the best medicine for your brother?"
Mu Jingyan was speechless, but still unconvinced. He snorted heavily and turned to walk towards his room.
On the other side, Mu Jingrui had already hugged Shangguan Wanning tightly in his arms.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said you were injured. Please let me see you."
When Shangguan Wanning received the letter sent by Xiao Yujue, she immediately rushed over in a panic.
"I'm fine, Ning'er, let me take a good look at you."
Mu Jingrui pulled Shangguan Wanning out of his arms, covered her face with his palms, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I seem to have lost some weight..." Mu Jingrui looked at Shangguan Wanning with a smile and whispered, "Did you miss me?"
Shangguan Wanning's cheeks turned red, and she was a little angry, but her heart was mostly relieved.
"You're already half dead, and you still have the energy to make such a joke? Stop it, let me see your injuries."
"good."
Mu Jingrui wrapped his hand around Shangguan Wanning's palm and said softly, "Ning'er, before you check for me, you have to promise me one thing first."
Shangguan Wan Ning was stunned for a moment, and then she started teasing Mu Jingrui, thinking of his impropriety. "What? Did you tell me not to take advantage of you? Don't worry, I won't covet your beauty."
Mu Jingrui couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He stroked Shangguan Wanning's cheek and whispered, "Promise me, no matter what you see later, don't be sad or afraid."
Shangguan Wanning's heart twitched violently.
She suddenly realized that Mu Jingrui's injuries might be much more serious than she had imagined.
She nodded heavily.
Mu Jingrui took Shangguan Wanning back to the room. The moment he took off her shirt, the shocking wounds almost made Shangguan Wanning collapse.
Her hands were shaking slightly, and she tried her best not to cry.
She carefully cleaned Mu Jingrui's wound, pricked the acupuncture points with silver needles to stop the bleeding and pain, and then applied medicine and bandaged it again.
Shangguan Wanning bit her lips tightly and cried silently.
"Are you scared?"
Mu Jingrui didn't hear Shangguan Wanning speak for a long time, so he pulled her in front of him and saw that she was already in tears.
"Silly girl, didn't you agree not to cry?"
Shangguan Wanning could no longer restrain herself and threw herself into Mu Jingrui's arms. She could not imagine what kind of torture he had gone through.
"I didn't cry even though I was hurt like this." Mu Jingrui gently patted Shangguan Wanning's back and said with a smile, "You don't want me to comfort you instead. Actually... um..."
Before Mu Jingrui could finish speaking, Shangguan Wanning kissed him on the lips.
Mu Jingrui was stunned. He could withstand the attack of thousands of troops and endure the torture of mountains of swords and seas of fire, but he couldn't resist...
Shangguan Wanning's infinite tenderness.
Mu Jingrui subconsciously increased the strength of his arms, held her in his arms, and deepened the kiss tenderly.
After a long time, Mu Jingrui pulled Shangguan Wanning out of his arms, panting.
"Ning'er, I can't take it anymore. Let's stop here. Otherwise... I'm afraid I can't bear it anymore."
