Yes, that's the super handsome general!
How did he end up in this remote mountain forest?
I bet they came specifically to catch this mountain bandit.
Xu Nian could hear her heart pounding. She immediately made a hand gesture and conjured a communication talisman.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Nian drew a wolf on the talisman in the air, signed his name, clapped his hands, and the communication talisman floated lightly towards Gu Zhan's direction.
She had originally planned to fight the mountain king to the death tonight using her own talismans, but now that she had seen Gu Zhan, how could she not ask him for help?
Although the man looked cold, he shouldn't be the kind of person who would stand by and watch someone die.
On the other side.
Gu Zhanzheng's eyes were alert as he patiently waited for the right opportunity.
Suddenly, a note flew towards him, aimed directly at his palm.
Seeing this, Gu Zhan frowned slightly, waved his hand, then grabbed the note and unfolded it in his hand.
He recognized it as a communication symbol, with a wolf drawn on it, but he didn't know its meaning.
And the signature, Xu Nian?
Gu Zhan parted his thin lips slightly, turned around and asked, "Do you still remember Xu Nian?"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately remembered, and they all rushed to say, "It's that girl who gave us the elm seed cakes, she's beautiful and kind-hearted!"
Gu Zhan instantly recalled the scene in the woods where sparks flew from Xu Nian's hand and the wolf pack was routed.
"She's trapped inside."
Gu Zhan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the brightly decorated mountain stronghold not far away. Combining this with the news he had just overheard, he thought, "She's probably been captured and made a mountain stronghold wife."
Upon hearing this, the soldiers became agitated, muttering to themselves, "General, this young lady is giving us her own food; we can't just abandon her!"
Gu Zhan really didn't want to put in any more effort; their only task was to destroy the mountain stronghold here.
However, considering that Xu had been kind to the soldiers and that the mission coincided with his own, Gu Zhan thought for a moment and did not refuse the soldiers' request.
Inside the mountain stronghold at this time.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Li Hong'an drank his wine with hazy eyes, listening to his underlings' congratulations, and was so happy he almost lost his bearings. "Good, everyone eat and drink well tonight!"
Once the group of underlings had finished making a ruckus, they quickly escorted Li Hong'an to the bridal chamber and thoughtfully closed the door behind them.
At this moment, Xu Nian was leaning back on the couch, cursing the heavens and the earth.
She had been hungry, and when she saw food on the table, she ate some haphazardly. As a result, her body felt heavy and she couldn't move. Only then did she realize that she had probably been drugged.
The door was kicked open, and Li Hong'an narrowed his eyes, seeing Xu Nian who remained silent.
"Madam, this bridal chamber is worth a fortune, let's hurry!"
As he spoke, Li Hongan staggered towards Xu Nian and, without saying a word, raised his hand to tear off her clothes.
Xu Nian was restrained by immense force and drugged, making it impossible for her to move.
Her eyes were slightly red with dissatisfaction, and her face was so delicate that it looked like it could be squeezed to release water. Li Hong'an stared blankly at her, and couldn't wait to tear off most of her clothes.
Holy crap, this mountain bandit is a monster!
No way!
With her fair skin exposed to the air, Xu Nian felt a shiver run through her body. She could only turn her head away, biting her tongue hard to stay awake.
Just when Xu Nian thought she was about to be defeated, a deafening sound of wailing and screaming suddenly came from outside the door.
What was that sound?
Li Hongan paused for a moment, and in that instant, the window was smashed open, and a gust of wind swept past, hitting him directly in the face.
"Ouch!"
Before Li Hongan could react, he was punched hard in the face. Because he had drunk too much, he lost control of his body and fell face-first into the mud.
With the restraints gone, Xu Nian's center of gravity shifted, and she was about to fall to the ground when she involuntarily closed her eyes tightly.
However, the expected painful sensation did not come; instead, she seemed to fall into a burning hot embrace.
Opening his eyes, Gu Zhanzheng looked at her calmly, his lips pressed tightly together.
The two were acting intimately, almost touching.
[OMG, the general is so handsome!]
[What a romantic idol drama plot! I'm already shipping them!]
Who's crazy? I'm crazy.
"Who the hell are you?!"
Li Hongan finally realized what was happening. Seeing Xu Nian nestled in Gu Zhan's arms, he immediately became envious and shouted, "Give me back my wife!"
As he spoke, Li Hongan grabbed the stool next to him and smashed it hard at Gu Zhan.
Gu Zhan remained expressionless. With his slender hand, he lifted his cloak and held the exhausted Xu Nian in his arms. His voice was low and deep, "Close your eyes."
Enveloped in darkness, Xu Nian felt inexplicably at ease and obediently did as instructed.
With one arm around Xu Nian and the other hand drawing his sword, Gu Zhan swiftly and cleanly knocked the stool away, eliciting screams and infatuations from the live stream audience.
With her eyes closed, Xu Nian caught a faint fragrance, which she assumed came from Gu Zhan.
Li Hongan had drunk too much, and even when he drew his sword, he was unsteady on his feet. In no time, Gu Zhan trampled him underfoot.
"General, the search is complete!"
A small group of people filed in, and were stunned by the scene before them.
Is there a woman hidden in the general's arms?
That woman, doesn't she look like Xu Nian?
When are you planning to get up?
Seeing that Xu Nian showed no intention of leaving his embrace, Gu Zhan frowned.
He had already heard some of the soldiers making a fuss.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian's face flushed red, and she lowered her head, whispering, "I've been drugged, and I have no strength now..."
She didn't want this to happen either, so why is she acting like she's someone who can't move when she sees a handsome guy!
After a moment of silence, Gu Zhan let out a soft sigh.
"Never mind."
He didn't push Xu Nian away; instead, he hugged her even tighter, his face showing no sign of any ulterior motives.
At this moment, Li Hong'an's face was red and swollen from the beating. He tried to struggle to get up unwillingly, but Gu Zhan held him down firmly.
"Do you know what crime it is to forcibly abduct a woman?"
Gu Zhan parted his thin lips slightly, his eyes showing no pity whatsoever.
Li Hong'an is a troublemaker. If he just occupies one part of the mountain and relies on his own efforts, the higher-ups probably won't care about him.
However, he repeatedly committed illegal acts, clearly opposing the imperial court, which is why I was sent here to deal with him.
"I committed a crime against your mother! Is it a crime for me to get a wife?"
Li Hong'an cursed loudly, but was punched by a soldier and made dizzy. "Show some respect to him, he is our general!"
From beginning to end, Gu Zhan didn't say a single extra word.
After they finished taking inventory, they prepared to leave.
Xu Nian hesitated for a long time, unsure of how to begin.
She was already indebted to him for being rescued; if she were to ask him to take her back, she'd probably...
"Come on up."
What interrupted Xu Nian's thoughts was Gu Zhan's cool and steady words, and the broad and strong back that appeared before her.
"I'll carry you back."
