Shangguan Wanning stared at the man who was about to pounce on her, closed her eyes and prepared to bite her tongue to commit suicide.
"ah!"
A few sharp screams broke the silence of the night sky. Before Shangguan Wanning could react, she felt warm liquid sprayed on her face and hands.
She looked closely and saw that it was all scarlet blood.
Those who were eyeing her covetously fell down one after another at this moment.
Shangguan Wanning looked back and saw a team of archers drawing their bows and strings, and several galloping horses getting closer and closer to her.
That's from the Central Plains.
Shangguan Wanning's eyes were filled with tears of excitement. She ignored the pain in her body, struggled to get up, and ran towards the other side.
"Don't shoot, I'm from the Central Plains..." Shangguan Wanning was worried that her soldier uniform would cause misunderstanding, so she shouted while running.
Mu Jingrui, who was about to leave, trembled all over when he heard the voice.
He leaped off the horse, somersaulted in the air, and arrived in front of Shangguan Wanning.
"Ning'er?"
Shangguan Wanning looked up at Mu Jingrui, surprised and happy. She tightly grasped Mu Jingrui's arm.
"You... why did you come just now? If you were any later, I would..."
Shangguan Wanning's physical strength had reached its limit, and her mind was also relaxed at this moment. She passed out as her eyes went dark.
"Ning'er?"
Mu Jingrui was so frightened that his face suddenly changed. He quickly picked up Shangguan Wanning and ordered, "Set up camp on the spot."
He looked at Shangguan Wanning lying in his arms, and his heart finally settled down a lot.
In order to find her, he almost turned the surrounding area for dozens of miles upside down.
In a trance, Shangguan Wanning felt a stream of clear spring water slowly seeping into her mouth.
She was thirsty and sucked greedily.
Then, a warm current began to flow through my body, as if a gentle spring breeze was blowing across my cheeks.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself lying in a military tent, covered with a warm and thick cloak.
"woke up?"
Shangguan Wanning saw Mu Jingrui sitting next to her. She looked at him and felt as if she was in another world.
"Am I...still alive?"
Mu Jingrui frowned slightly, and felt scared when he thought about how she had so willfully barged into the Wuxiong camp.
"If there is a next time, you will definitely not survive."
Shangguan Wanning completely relaxed at this moment. Many fragments flashed through her mind.
These experiences were completely absent in the previous life.
She looked at Mu Jingrui, who looked calm, sneered, and said, "General Mu, please rest assured, there will never be a next time. Even if there is, you don't need to save me."
Mu Jingrui was speechless for a moment.
He could sense the coldness and anger in Shangguan Wanning's tone. He had just wanted to make a joke, but he didn't expect...
Mu Jingrui thought about the day when Shangguan Wanning saw him and Princess Xianyue in the same room.
"Ning'er, there is something I want to make clear to you."
Shangguan Wanning turned her head away. "If you want to cancel the engagement with me, go to my house and talk to my father when you get back. Don't worry, our Shangguan family won't pester you."
"Cancel the engagement?" Mu Jingrui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Shangguan Wanning, you wish for it."
Mu Jingrui reached out and turned Shangguan Wanning's face back, and said seriously: "Princess Xianyue and I are just partners, it's definitely not what you think. Don't be jealous."
"Who is jealous?" Shangguan Wanning denied angrily, "What is the relationship between you two? What does it have to do with me?"
Shangguan Wanning didn't want to admit the little thoughts in his heart. Looking at Mu Jingrui's face full of disbelief, he became even angrier and kicked him.
"ah!"
Shangguan Wanning forgot that she had sprained her ankle. Not only did she not hurt Mu Jingrui when she kicked him, but he gasped in pain and his face turned pale.
Mu Jingrui took advantage of the situation and grabbed her ankle, gently scolding her: "You're already injured, but you're still restless?"
Shangguan Wanning blushed immediately.
She wanted to pull her foot back, but Mu Jingrui had no intention of letting go. Instead, he gently rubbed the slightly swollen area.
His palms were very warm, and the warmth from his palms seemed to be able to be transmitted into her heart.
Shangguan Wanning calmed down, but her heart was beating fast.
"Are you feeling better?" Mu Jingrui asked softly.
Shangguan Wanning's cheeks became even hotter, and she said softly, "I...actually I'm fine, please let me go."
Mu Jingrui's heart was also stirred. He was afraid that he could not control himself, so he let go and covered Shangguan Wanning with clothes again.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. There's really nothing going on between me and Princess Crescent Moon. I didn't tear her clothes off in the woodshed. I just wanted to see the tattoo on her arm to confirm her identity."
"oh."
Shangguan Wanning lowered her head and responded. Her mind was completely blank and she had no ability to think at all.
"Rest for a while, I'll get you something to eat. We'll be back in the afternoon. Hang in there, I'll find a doctor to take a closer look at you when we get back to the city."
Mu Jingrui's large palm covered Shangguan Wanning's cheek. Such a doting look and action made Shangguan Wanning linger.
Mu Jingrui let Shangguan Wanning rest for a morning and then took her back.
Although we won a great victory in this battle, there are still a lot of things to deal with afterwards.
Mu Jingrui returned to the border city and found the situation to be much more orderly than he had imagined.
His left and right vanguards have rescued the trapped people and are discussing how to resettle them.
Princess Xinyue and Yunqiao took Wuxiong's troops and stationed outside the city, waiting to negotiate peace with the Central Plains.
What his subordinates have to deal with now is Ji Kuo and his generals, as well as tens of thousands of captured soldiers from the Cang Ying Kingdom.
Mu Jingrui sorted out all the matters and wrote a memorial, and had someone send it to Xiao Yujue overnight.
Next, all that’s left is waiting.
Finally, I have a little free time.
After Mu Jingrui finished dealing with the official documents, he went to the backyard room to find Shangguan Wanning. Turning around the corridor, he saw Shangguan Wanning and Mu Jingyan gesturing at something in the yard.
"Oh, no, no, that's not the way to do it." Mu Jingyan corrected Shangguan Wanning's gesture, "Your punches should be powerful, not soft. If you did that just now, you can only hit my brother."
Shangguan Wanning was stunned. "What do you mean? Your brother... is so weak?"
Mu Jingyan burst out laughing.
"What I mean is that your punches are bound to be light, and people will think you are being coquettish."
A blush appeared on Shangguan Wanning's face.
"I asked you to teach me self-defense, not for you to laugh at me."
Mu Jingyan said with a smile: "I don't have the ability to teach you, you should... seek help from someone else."
As he said that, he pointed his finger at Mu Jingrui who was standing not far away.
