Chapter 168 Heart Knot
Mu Junyan was very busy and he was not seen even at lunch.
Mu Junyan hurried back when the sun was about to set.
I saw the little girl sitting on the stone at the entrance of the big tent, staring blankly into the distance. She looked so lonely and pitiful.
When Gu Huan saw the tall and straight figure outlined in the afterglow of the setting sun, she immediately jumped up excitedly, picked up her skirt and ran over.
The ground was uneven and the little girl stumbled as she ran.
Mu Junyan had no choice but to open his arms to catch the man, ignoring the scorching gazes of the surrounding soldiers.
"You're back."
Gu Huan was as happy as a flying bird.
He couldn't be too intimate in public, so he held her shoulders to steady her.
With a straight face, he scolded, "Why are you running around? What if you fall?"
Gu Huan's cheeks flushed, her eyebrows curved, and she said in a low, petty voice, "Don't we still have you?"
Mu Junyan was completely convinced, but his face remained serious.
"Nonsense."
Gu Huan's happy heart suddenly cooled down after he scolded her. Suddenly she realized that she was being watched and her face turned red.
It turns out that he cares about his image.
She quickly stood up and bowed to Mu Junyan: "I greet you, Duke."
Mu Junyan raised his eyebrows and saw her red ears, knowing that she had noticed the inappropriateness of their intimacy just now, but he also liked her throwing herself into his arms so intimately.
I couldn't help but feel soft in my heart.
His tone softened: "I heard that you learned to ride a horse?"
Gu Huan lowered her head: "Yeah. I didn't learn it well, I can just barely ride it."
"How about I take you for a ride before dinner?"
Gu Huan raised her head suddenly, her eyes sparkling: "Really?"
Seeing how easy it was to coax her, Mu Junyan couldn't help but laugh: "When have I ever lied to you?"
Gu Huan almost jumped up with excitement and grabbed his big hand: "Okay, let's go now."
Mu Junyan felt a soft touch on his palm, and as they held each other's palms, the heat was transferred to each other.
The two smiled at each other, and felt each other's affection in their hearts.
At this moment, Gu Huan suddenly felt like she was falling in love with him.
It wasn't that she was just looking for a way out in the beginning, and it wasn't that she could leave easily after he was killed.
If he really died...
Thinking of this, I felt as if my heart was pecked and it hurt.
Gu Huan's little hands couldn't help but increase the strength, and the two of them walked towards the stable hand in hand amid the envious gazes of a group of onlookers from afar.
winter.
There was dead grass everywhere.
The dead tree stands alone in the Gobi Desert.
All I see is a desolate scene.
As Gu Huan walked, she began to feel sad again.
She suddenly stopped and mustered up the courage to look up at him.
"What's wrong?" Mu Junyan stopped and noticed that she looked unhappy.
"Did it hurt your wound?" He quickly turned her hand over to look at it.
"No. It's just a small scratch, it's nothing serious. It's here..."
Gu Huan pointed to her heart and was suddenly choked with sobs. "Why are you crying for no reason?"
Mu Junyan, who was always calm and composed, panicked. He held her shoulders, lowered his head and asked softly, "Just tell me what you want to say. If you have any difficulties, you must tell me. You have to trust me."
Gu Huan raised her head, listening to his soft voice, thinking that he might have been killed by Brother Ji's conspiracy.
The sob in my heart was like a river bursting its banks, and tears started falling.
She couldn't say anything, so she threw herself into his arms, hugged his waist tightly, and cried silently.
Mu Junyan was a little confused by her crying, but he didn't care that he was in public and hugged her tightly. He didn't ask any more questions, but gently stroked her back to comfort her silently.
After crying for a long time, Gu Huan finally released the pent-up emotions of disappointment and heartache she had when she saw Brother Ji again.
When she gradually stopped crying, Mu Junyan took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Oh, little girls are hard to raise.
A glass heart can be broken easily.
Mu Junyan looked at those tearful eyes, feeling helpless and distressed.
Gu Huan calmed herself down, pulled his robe with her hands, and whispered, "I have something to confess to you."
frank?
Mu Junyan's heart tightened.
Gu Huan moved closer and lowered her voice: "You know Ji Xuanyu, huh."
Her childhood sweetheart, Brother Ji?
Mu Junyan's expression suddenly turned serious. He stared at her little face and nodded, "I know."
Zhou Zhilan had already sent a pigeon to tell Gu Huan that the young master of Yifeng Hall was Ji Xuanyu. She didn't say anything, only saying that Gu Huan didn't seem to care much about him.
But how could I not care?
Due to the tense war situation, he didn't have much time to pay attention to this matter.
Now when I heard Gu Huan mention it, I felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
What is meant to come will come. What is his will not escape, and what is not his cannot be forced.
Mu Junyan had already arranged several escape routes for Gu Huan, but she actually came all the way for him. From the moment he saw her, he had no intention of letting her go.
"He, he...he is the young master of Yifengtang who captured me." Gu Huan looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"He, he betrayed his country..."
As he spoke, his bean-sized eyeballs rolled down his cheeks.
Mu Junyan felt relieved: "What do you think?"
What does she think?
From the moment she found out, she felt heartbroken every time she thought about it.
Until now, she still couldn't believe that Brother Ji had completely changed into a different person, from a very kind, gentle and studious brother to the leader of the most brutal gangsters.
If she hadn't heard with her own ears that he asked the criminals to destroy her innocence, she would never have believed that he and the young master were the same person.
But she still felt sad when she thought of him.
"I, I don't know. But, he was wrong for betraying the country and harming the people of Daliang. He also assassinated ministers in the court, causing chaos in Daliang, and tampered with the winter clothes and food of the Mu family army, trying to make you cold and hungry and lose your combat effectiveness. Whether he was directly involved or not, he is unforgivable. But, but could he have his own difficulties? I don't think about him anymore, really, you believe me."
I, I, I just... I just can't bear it. He was the only person who treated me well before. Brother Ji... No, Ji Xuanyu, will he be threatened, forced, or... "
Mu Junyan felt a little depressed when he saw the little girl talking incoherently and anxiously.
Could it be that she risked her life to come to him not only to deliver food, but also to use this merit to exchange for Ji Xuanyu's life?
Mu Junyan touched her head and said, "I have never seen him, so I don't know the truth, but I can promise you that if you catch him, you can ask him in person. If there are extenuating circumstances, you can deal with him as appropriate. If he has not committed any heinous crime, it is not impossible to keep him alive."
Gu Huan opened her mouth, not expecting him to say that.
"May I?"
The little girl's eager eyes made Mu Junyan feel a little uncomfortable, but he didn't show it on his face.
Nodding: "I always keep my word."
He was determined to thoroughly clean out Yifengtang.
Chi Yan and his men have received his order to secretly dig out all the people in Daliang Yifengtang.
If the cancer is not completely eradicated, there will be endless troubles.
But, when he could catch Ji Xuanyu, he would give her a chance to put her mind at ease.
Right or wrong, life or death, is not decided by anyone.
It's just the result of the cause you sowed.
There is a saying: You reap what you sow.
Gu Huan was stunned for a long while, and it seemed that this was the only way.
Gu Huan was still worried: "Be careful with the military rations. They will steal your military rations."
Mu Junyan pinched her red nose and said, "Okay, I'll obey Madam's orders."
Gu Huan felt embarrassed instead. She sniffed and nodded, "Well, let's go horseback riding then."
Mu Junyan saw that she was in a bad mood, so he took her hand and walked to the stable.
The soldier who was tending the horses saw him and hurried over: "Captain, do you want to ride a horse?"
The soldier really wanted to take a direct look at the commander's favorite concubine, but he didn't dare to look in that direction in front of Mu Junyan.
"Well, bring that little mare over here."
"yes."
Gu Huan looked at the soldier curiously as he brought in a tall, brown horse. She pointed at it in surprise and asked, "Is this a pony?"
Mu Junyan smiled and rubbed her head: "The war horses in Southern Xinjiang are all tall horses, this horse is considered a pony."
The soldier quickly installed the saddle and Mu Junyan carried her onto the horse.
