"What are you doing here?"
Xianyue saw that Yunqiao felt a little ashamed, and then she became furious.
"I..." Yunqiao's eyes were burning with flames, but he still endured it when facing the crescent moon. "I'm worried about your safety, so... I came to protect you."
Mu Jingrui breathed a sigh of relief.
"Do as I say." After saying that, Mu Jingrui turned around and went back to the woodshed, closing the door.
Xianyue was a little angry and humiliated. She snorted heavily, left Yunqiao and walked away.
Early the next morning, Xianyue asked Yunqiao to take away most of the elite soldiers of the Cangying Kingdom and part of the troops of the Wuxiong Kingdom in the name of rescuing Ji Kuo.
The camp suddenly became much emptier.
Shangguan Wanning was carrying a large bundle of firewood as she walked towards the kitchen. Mu Jingyan came over, took the things from her, and asked with concern, "Are you tired? Go and have a rest. I'll do these things."
Shangguan Wanning was so tired that she was out of breath. She had never done such rough work before.
She waved her hands and said, "It's okay, I can do it."
"If I tire you out, I'm afraid my brother will beat me up." Mu Jingyan handed the handkerchief to Shangguan Wanning, "Wipe your sweat."
After spending a few days together, Mu Jingyan discovered that Shangguan Wanning was not as delicate as she had imagined.
If it weren't for Mu Jingrui, she wouldn't have suffered like this.
"ah!"
A shrill scream was heard from the front, and the two of them turned around at the same time and stood on tiptoe to look.
A group of Wuxiong soldiers ran towards this direction.
"What happened?" Mu Jingyan stopped one of the soldiers and asked.
"People from the Goshawk Nation are coming to kill us... Run, run quickly..."
Mu Jingyan and Shangguan Wanning looked at each other.
"Why did the people from the Goshawk Country come to kill us? They... uh, no, aren't we in the same group?" Mu Jingyan asked curiously.
"The people of Goshawk Country want to steal the grain sent from Central Plains. Now there is a fight at the granary."
After the soldier finished speaking, he ran away, crawling.
"It seems that Wuxiong's people are at a disadvantage, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a mess." Shangguan Wanning still couldn't understand. Weren't most of Cangying's people taken away by Yunqiao?
Why does it still have such fighting power?
"I'll go and take a look..."
"Jingyan, don't go." Shangguan Wanning grabbed Mu Jingyan, "It's a chaotic time right now, and you're a girl after all. Besides, a fight between the two sides has nothing to do with us. Let's... go find your brother."
"Okay." Mu Jingyan threw away the firewood, pulled Shangguan Wanning and ran to the woodshed.
But at this time, the two sides were already fighting fiercely, and they were killing each other for the not-so-large amount of food and fodder. The camp was full of swords and sabers.
Mu Jingyan and Shangguan Wanning walked with difficulty.
Fortunately, Mu Jingyan knew martial arts, and was not weak. But... she still couldn't protect Shangguan Wanning after all.
"Wan Ning, hide here and don't come out." Mu Jingyan pulled Shangguan Wan Ning to hide in a pile of firewood and covered them with hay. He said, "I'll go find my brother, and then we'll come back to save you. Remember, don't make any noise while you're hiding in there."
In fact, Shangguan Wanning was a little scared, but in order not to drag down Mu Jingyan, she just hid inside.
"Jing Yan, you have to be careful."
"Yes. Wan Ning, don't be afraid. My brother and I will definitely come back to find you."
After Mu Jingyan finished speaking, he headed towards the woodshed.
Mu Jingrui looked up at the azure sky, silently calculating the time.
"If everything goes well today, I will be able to meet Ning'er soon."
With a "bang", the door of the woodshed was kicked open. Mu Jingrui frowned and turned around, only to see Xianyue rushing in with a bloody sword in his hand.
His heart skipped a beat.
"What happened?"
"The remaining soldiers of the Goshawk Nation are looting the granary. My people... can't hold on any longer." Xianyue's voice was trembling a little. This sudden change was completely unexpected.
"Your people can't hold on?" Mu Jingrui stepped forward quickly and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I..." Xianyue avoided Mu Jingrui's serious and cold eyes and said softly, "I was worried that you would plot against me as well, causing Wu Xiong's troops to be killed by your people. So... just in case, I asked Yunqiao to take away most of the elite troops."
"I saw that there weren't many people left from the Goshawk Nation, so only a few thousand people were left in the camp waiting for support. But I never expected that the people from the Goshawk Nation would..."
Mu Jingrui's face looked a little ugly, but it made no difference to him if more people from Wuxiong Country died.
"This is the result of your overconfident behavior." Mu Jingrui said mercilessly.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.
“Ning’er…”
Mu Jingrui realized that Shangguan Wanning and Mu Jingyan would be in danger, so he jumped out of the window.
Xianyue was slightly startled.
Mu Jingrui seemed to have called out a name just now. Could it be that he had already arranged for someone to come in?
Xinyue found that she could not figure out Mu Jingrui at all, and she felt a chill down her spine.
"elder brother……"
Mu Jingyan rushed in. She looked around and didn't see Mu Jingrui, only Princess Xianyue.
"Where's my brother?" Mu Jingyan drew his sword and pointed it at Xianyue, "What have you done to him?"
"Brother?" Xianyue looked at Mu Jingyan. This girl's eyebrows were indeed somewhat similar to Mu Jingrui's. "Your name is Ning'er?"
"No. Ning'er is my brother's fiancée." Seeing that there were no signs of fighting in the woodshed, Mu Jingyan vaguely guessed that Mu Jingrui might have known the situation outside, so he went out to find them.
Thinking of this, she turned and left.
A figure passed by, and the crescent moon blocked Mu Jingyan's way.
"What? You want to use force?" Mu Jingyan raised his head and looked at the crescent moon without any fear.
Xianyue smiled slightly, her tone very gentle. "Of course not. Your brother, General Mu, and I are good friends. Since you are his sister, of course I have to protect you for him."
"unnecessary."
"He just left not long ago. I'll take you to find him."
Xianyue did not dwell on the same question, but said something that interested Mu Jingyan.
She already knew in her heart that this girl would be the best amulet for her to restrain Mu Jingrui.
"Let's go." Xianyue urged Mu Jingyan to follow without waiting for her to think.
When Mu Jingrui came outside, it was already a mess with fire everywhere.
He saw people from the Goshawk Kingdom snatching away some food and running away, and he also saw soldiers from the Wuxiong Kingdom fleeing in all directions.
"Ning'er...Xiaoyan..." Mu Jingrui ran all over the camp but got no response.
Whenever a dead body appeared in his sight, he would feel terrified.
"Where are you?" Mu Jingrui was so anxious that his eyes turned red.
