"Chenyin, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Mu asked Chu Chenyin who was in a trance.
Chu Chenyin came back to his senses, lowered his eyes, avoided the man's gaze, and replied to Madam Mu: "I was too anxious when I got up just now, so I feel a little dizzy."
Mrs. Mu hurried forward to support her and said, "We've walked all the way and you must be tired. Let's go to a nearby inn and rest first."
After she finished speaking, she told the man in armor, "Have General Lao Ning lead us there."
When Chu Chenyin heard the name "General Ning", his heart sank. It seemed that this man who looked so much like his boss was the general of the Jiang Kingdom.
She was a little panicked for a moment. Could it be that he had also traveled through time?
But judging from the way he looked at me just now, it seemed that he was not someone I knew.
Fu Yanting knew General Ning. He walked up from behind Chu Chenyin and saluted General Ning with his fist. "It's been a long time since we last met. General Ning is still the same as always."
General Ning returned the greeting to Fu Yanting, "General Fu is the same. Dayong almost perished due to natural disasters in recent years. I didn't expect that it didn't faze General Fu."
There was both praise and ridicule in his words, and it was hard to tell whether he was an enemy or a friend.
However, Fu Yanting smiled and said, "Of course, General Ning is still alive, so how can I fall down?"
Chu Chenyin listened to their conversation with a frown on his face. It seemed that these two had been at odds with each other in the past.
General Ning was obviously very polite to Fu Yanting for the sake of Madam Mu and Master Mu. After all, his current status was not ordinary, and marrying the princess would be equivalent to being the emperor's nephew-in-law.
He can't afford to offend.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with General Ning, Fu Yanting helped Chu Chenyin to change to a horse-drawn carriage, and then went into the city to an inn.
They were still three days away from Jiangqian Prefecture, so the family planned to have a good rest and set off after having enough food and drink.
Chu Chenyin has been feeling uneasy ever since he met General Ning.
Fu Yanting thought she was really tired, so he prepared delicious food for her early and took her to bed.
Chu Chenyin closed his eyes, and his mind involuntarily recalled the past.
She was stolen from an orphanage by a group of strangers when she was young. They gave her a life a hundred times better than that in the orphanage, paid for her education, and hired someone to teach her martial arts and shooting.
She once thought she could live a normal life.
But later she was assigned dangerous missions again and again, and she had no choice but to obey their orders.
The man who gave her the order was also named Ning, and his full name was Ning Chenyuan. At first glance, the name did sound ancient and poetic, but he was actually very stern and arrogant.
She didn't talk to him very often. Every time he gave her a task, she would carry it out.
Occasionally, when she came back injured, he would bandage her himself.
