When she returned to the inn, the refugees had already left. The innkeeper saw her and asked, "Dear guest, it's almost dawn. Do you still need me to prepare breakfast for you?"

Jiang Muyu yawned lazily and said, "No need, I'll go back and get some sleep, and leave at daybreak."

"Okay, take a good rest."

The shopkeeper went over and closed the door.

Rather than a door, it was more like two wooden boards with a non-existent latch, and could be opened with just a push.

Jiang Muyu went upstairs to the guest room, lay down on the bed with her clothes on and fell asleep.

She didn’t know if it was because she was too tired, but in such a harsh environment, she had the deepest sleep she had in a while.

In her dream, she returned to her childhood, and lived with a little boy day and night, eating at the same table and sleeping with the same bed.

The boy's features gradually became clearer, and she could almost see his features.

She opened her eyes as wide as she could, and just when the boy was about to turn his head... she was shaken awake.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's time for us to set off." Yun Yan's voice rang in her ears.

It wasn't that she wanted to commit an act of disobedience, but it was already past the hour of Si, and if Jiang Muyu didn't wake up, their journey would be delayed for too long.

Jiang Muyu held his swollen head and sat up, his voice a little hoarse: "Yunyan, what time is it now?"

"It's already three quarters past nine, Madam."

She woke up immediately and rolled out of bed: "It's so late, why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

Yunyan said aggrievedly: "I have called you three times, but you just stayed in bed and refused to get up."

It seemed...she did hear someone calling her in her dream, but she was so immersed in the dream that she couldn't wake up.

Jiang Muyu hurriedly washed her face, put on some makeup and went out.

The guards downstairs had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw her coming down, they immediately started preparing to set off.

As soon as she walked out of the inn, she ran into Luo Chengguan.

The other party stood in front of her with a playful smile on his face: "Hey-Jiang... Sir, we meet again."

At least he has some tact.

Jiang Muyu rarely showed a good face to him and curled her lips: "What a coincidence."

"I told you, we are destined to be together."

"Hehe - sorry, I don't have time to play this weird game of meeting is destiny with you. I need to hurry now." Jiang Muyu walked around him and walked towards the carriage.

Luo Chengguan immediately caught up with her and asked, "Are you going to the border? There's a war going on there, it's very dangerous. What are you doing in a place like that as a girl?"

"Do I look like a fool to you?"

"Um?"

"Do you think I don't know there's a war going on at the border? But I'm going there because of my husband."

"Your husband? Who is your husband? Which general?"

Jiang Muyu didn't elaborate, stepped into the carriage, and then opened the curtain and said to him: "Don't follow me anymore. Even if you really like me, I can only say thank you. Unfortunately, I already have someone in my heart. You can only wait in line for the rest of your life."

Luo Chengguan frowned and stopped where he was, watching her team walk past him.

He remembered the man he had met in Suicheng before, her husband.

With his clean and weak appearance, he doesn't look like a general who can lead troops into battle.

…

Yingzhou City was only a few dozen miles away from the battlefield on the border. Jiang Muyu and his group walked for nearly two days and finally arrived at Tian Gan’s military camp before dark.

At this time, Liang Qingchen was discussing strategies with several generals in the camp. Suddenly, a young general came in and reported, "Your Majesty, we found a team from the capital outside the camp."

Liang Qingchen asked without even looking up, "Does the visitor have a token to prove his identity?"

"no."

"Then hurry back."

The young general hesitated for a moment.

Liang Qingchen asked: "What else?"

The young general said, "The leader of their team is a noble young man. He said he is the younger brother of Vice Marshal Jiang."

In this battle, Liang Qingchen was the chief marshal and Jiang Chenan was the deputy marshal.

Jiang Chenan has only two younger brothers, Jiang Chenyan and Jiang Chenwei. Jiang Chenwei is a coward and definitely would not have the courage to come to a place like the border. The only one who could have come here is Jiang Chenyan, who is Jiang Muyu's biological brother and has never been a quiet person.

Thinking of this, Liang Qingchen's brows wrinkled.

Then he looked at Jiang Chenan, who was anxious and a little guilty, and asked, "Who do you think this person is?"

Jiang Chenan shook his head awkwardly: "Ayan's temper is a bit erratic, but he knows what is important and what is not. Maybe there is something important going on..."

Liang Qingchen nodded and said, "Go and bring the person in yourself."

"Yes." Jiang Chenan immediately stepped out.

However, when he saw the man surrounded by a group of soldiers, he was stunned: "When did my mother give me a brother like this?"

I saw that the man was thin and weak, with a dark face and eyes that looked somewhat familiar.

"Third brother, third brother..." the other party called out loudly when he saw him.

Jiang Chenan walked over and looked at him with frowned brows: "Are you my brother?"

Jiang Muyu never expected that when he met his biological brother again after several years, he would not recognize him.

Even though she put on makeup on purpose, even Luo Chengguan could recognize her, so how could Third Brother not recognize her?!

She curled her lips and did not confess herself, but said: "Third brother naturally does not recognize me. I am the daughter of Marquis Jing'an's concubine. You have never seen me."

Jiang Chenan's eyes widened: "Mistress? When did my father have a mistress?"

"Hasn't there always been three wives and four concubines in the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion? What's so strange about having a mistress you don't know about?"

"You...you...you are just a son born out of wedlock, yet you are so bold!!"

Jiang Muyu rolled her eyes in an indecent manner and said, "I was sent by Princess Rui to deliver a letter to the prince. Please take me to see him."

"Princess Rui... Zhao Zhao also knows of your existence?"

Jiang Muyu was speechless. How could she, who was so smart and clever, have such a silly brother?

Jiang Chenan was quite dissatisfied with his attitude at this time, but he didn't know what to do for a moment. After thinking it over, he said, "The others stay here, and you and I will go to see the prince alone."

Jiang Muyu pursed her lips and said, "Okay."

She followed Jiang Chenan inside.

She stared at his tall back in silence. In her memory, Jiang Chenan was a straight man, but he always treated her very well. He would always save good things for her, and would pack up a delicious dish for her when he ate it in a restaurant.

Jiang Chenan was not a well-behaved and obedient child since he was young. He did not like studying and spent his days either climbing trees to pick bird eggs or going to the river to catch fish.

Although he was not a good student, he was a martial arts genius. He could learn a move that others would take three days to learn in just one day, so he was eventually thrown into the military camp by Marquis Jing'an.

Jiang Chenan was only fifteen years old when he first went to the battlefield, but he was very brave and good at fighting. He became a lieutenant general in just three years and is now a governor.
