Mu Jingrui's expression turned serious.
Even though it was only a few hundred meters, he needed to cross the sophisticated formation set up by these three to five hundred people.
If they cheat in the middle of the game, no matter what formation they are in, if everyone comes up and kicks him a few times, he may not be able to bear it.
"General Mu..." The entourage felt something was wrong and lowered their voices, saying, "These people have bad intentions. They might want to take this opportunity to eliminate you. It's better to withdraw first and think of other ways."
Mu Jingrui shook his head slightly. "You guys leave."
"General Mu..."
The entourage wanted to say something, but Mu Jingrui cast a sharp look at them. Everyone shuddered subconsciously and took a few steps back involuntarily.
"Do you keep your word?"
"One's word is as good as gold."
"good."
Mu Jingrui walked forward, looked around, and slowly drew out his sword.
The moment he drew his sword, the archers surrounding him shot their sharp arrows one after another.
He dodged left and right, used his lightness skills to fly over the archers' heads, and focused on attacking the weak points in the formation.
The four generals who came to check the situation found that Mu Jingrui did not go directly to the destination, and they couldn't help but admire him secretly.
Because the route Mu Jingrui took was exactly the flaw in the formation.
He was able to find a solution to the problem in a short period of time, and rushed forward without hesitation.
This wisdom and courage are far beyond what one should have at his age.
Seeing that Mu Jingrui could come and go freely despite being surrounded by heavy enemies, the four generals exchanged glances and attacked Mu Jingrui at the same time.
Mu Jingrui knew clearly that facing the joint attack of these four people, there was no room for tricks and he could only deal with it by force.
At this time, Mu Jingrui was already under the sword. He was about to jump up to take the sword down when four strong palm winds and sword energy rushed towards him.
He could only jump up and dodge.
The bamboo used to build the platform was cut off and the entire platform was about to fall down.
Seeing that one of the generals was unable to dodge due to geographical reasons, Mu Jingrui struck out with his palm, took off the sword, and lifted the general out.
There was a loud "boom".
The platform collapsed completely, raising thick dust. Mu Jingrui had already jumped several feet away with a cold face and an indifferent expression.
It took only an incense stick of time for Mu Jingrui to get the sword as he planned and saved a person.
"General Mu is a young hero, and his reputation is well-deserved."
"We are convinced. To be able to make General Mu follow him wholeheartedly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be kind-hearted and have extraordinary qualities."
"General Mu, I will definitely repay you for saving my life just now."
Mu Jingrui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as these four people are willing to stand on Xiao Yujue's side, there will be nothing to fear if they encounter the imperial army in the future.
With their participation, there is a guarantee that Xiao Yujue will be sent to Mingdu City smoothly.
He could also return to the capital with peace of mind to rescue Shangguan Wanning.
"You're welcome. From now on, we are good brothers who will share life and death together. We will assist the prince and work together for great success."
Mu Jingrui brought these four generals back to meet Xiao Yujue. With the addition of a large number of elite soldiers, Xiao Yujue was overjoyed and held a banquet that night to welcome the newly joined soldiers.
At the table, everyone was toasting each other, but Mu Jingrui simply drank a few glasses and left early.
"Is it really necessary to leave?"
Xiao Yujue chased out and looked at Mu Jingrui's figure elongated by the moonlight, and fell into infinite emotion.
"Your Highness is safe now, and the Prince Consort is taking the overall situation into consideration. As long as Lord Shangguan can convince the King, then Your Highness will naturally be able to handle future matters."
"But, without you by my side, I always feel..."
Xiao Yujue didn't want Mu Jingrui to leave at this time. After all, without Mu Jingrui, he would be like missing his right-hand man.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness. If I can successfully rescue Ning'er, I will return to join you as soon as possible."
Seeing that Mu Jingrui was determined to leave, Xiao Yujue knew that it was useless to continue persuading him, so she had no choice but to nod and agree.
He patted Mu Jingrui on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Then you should be more careful."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Mu Jingrui paused, thought for a while, and said, "Your Highness, Xiaoyan has a straightforward personality. If she has done anything inconsiderate, please forgive her."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of Xiaoyan and wait for you to come back."
Mu Jingrui felt relieved. He returned to his room and began to pack his things in silence.
He didn't want to stay for a moment and just wanted to get back to the capital as soon as possible.
When Mu Jingrui walked out of the room, he saw a thin figure standing in the moonlight, staring at him with tears in his eyes.
At this moment, Mu Jingrui felt a surge of sadness in his heart.
"Can you... not leave..."
Yin Yuqing walked up to Mu Jingrui and pulled his sleeve pleadingly.
"I'm sorry, there's something...I have to do."
"Even if you know the price is death, are you going to go?"
Mu Jingrui remained silent.
In fact, most of the time he didn't dare to face Yin Yuqing because he knew that he really owed her a lot.
"Do you know that once you leave... you may never come back. Is Shangguan Wanning really more important to you than your own life?"
"yes."
Mu Jingrui admitted it almost without hesitation.
Even though the woman in front of him was his nominal wife.
"I know I'm sorry for you, but there are some things...I can't control them myself. Feelings can't be forced. I've already told Xiaoyan that after I leave, whether you want to leave or stay is up to you."
Mu Jingrui had no way to give Yin Yuqing any love, the only thing he could do was to arrange a way out for her.
She didn't want to leave, as the Mu family was where she would settle down for the rest of her life; if she found her ideal man and wanted to leave, Mu Jingyan would not stop her, and would reserve a dowry for her so that she could remarry with honor.
After Mu Jingrui finished speaking, he walked past Yin Yuqing and prepared to leave.
Yin Yuqing hugged him tightly from behind.
"Don't go... I beg you not to go." Yin Yuqing used up all her strength, "I'm so scared... I'm afraid that you will never come back after you leave. My husband, don't go, don't leave me..."
At this moment, Mu Jingrui's thoughts were a little dazed.
For the first time, he gently held Yin Yuqing's hand.
"As long as you are willing to let go of your obsession with me, the future... will be bright and you can start over."
"Then why can't you let go of your obsession with Shangguan Wanning? Husband, think about it carefully, you will really die."
"I think clearly. Ning'er...she is my life."
Mu Jingrui pried open Yin Yuqing's hands that were hugging him, without looking back at her, he jumped up, climbed over the wall and left, his figure completely submerged in the darkness.
