Chapter 3 Wait for me at night
Mu Xingci looked at the woman's painful face, his eyes darkening slightly: "This Marquis agrees, you stay, and the other three can go."
"Mu Xingci, I want to watch them leave the city with my own eyes. Please prepare two carriages for us. We want to take the hostages out of the city." The Dongqi spy brought the sword closer to the hostage.
Mu Xingci saw that although the woman looked scared, she did not move and did not say a word to beg for mercy. It was very good that she could remain calm when her life was at stake. This made him look at this woman with a new respect.
"Zhang Yu, prepare two carriages for them." Mu Xingci glanced at his subordinates beside him, his eyes full of mystery.
"Yes! I'll prepare it right away." Zhang Yu understood and rode away.
Both sides fell into silence again, seemingly compromising as they waited for the carriage to arrive.
But just when the leading Dongqi spy thought that he was out of danger for the time being and wanted to turn around, he suddenly heard a sound of breaking through the air at a very fast speed. This sound made his face change drastically. He knew that a hidden weapon was coming. He wanted to block it with a knife, but it was too late.
An ice needle as thin as a cicada's wing hit him right between the eyebrows, causing him to fall to the ground with his eyes open.
The other accomplices didn't know why he suddenly fell to the ground. As they stared at him with wide eyes, hidden weapons were shot at them.
In the blink of an eye, the four spies fell to the ground one after another, and the hostages were rescued safely.
This sudden reversal left Yun Wansheng stunned for a moment, her eyes fixed on the domineering man.
This was the first time she had seen an ancient hidden weapon, and she didn't expect it to be so powerful.
Mu Xingci, who was not far away, looked at the woman in a daze, glanced at her lightly, and casually arranged the moon shadow cold needle on his right wrist with his left hand.
At this moment, the other civilians who had been rescued reacted and hurried forward to salute the general who had protected them: "Thank you, Marquis Weiyuan, for saving us. We will never forget your great kindness."
"Dear fellow villagers, please stand up quickly. I am responsible for the stability of this area, and I have the responsibility to protect your lives and safety." Mu Xingci stepped forward to help the two old men up, speaking sincerely.
"Marquis Weiyuan is worthy of being born in the Mu family army. He is dedicated to serving the people. It is a blessing to our southwest!" An old man was grateful and admired.
"You are too kind, old man. These are what I should do. Everything is fine now, you can go back." Mu Xingci said gently.
The common people thanked him profusely and then left.
Yun Wansheng had been standing behind them, neither thanking them nor kneeling. As a modern person and having been a high-ranking female CEO, she really didn't know how to deal with such an occasion.
After the people left, I realized that just standing there was not a good idea, and turning around and leaving didn't seem to work either.
Just as he was debating whether to leave, thank him, or wait for him to leave first, he saw the majestic-looking Marquis General walking towards him.
"Are you scared silly? You can't even speak?" Mu Xingci's handsome face darkened slightly.
"Uh! I was scared. Thank you for rescuing me, Lord Marquis." Yun Wansheng thought about the etiquette that the original owner knew, and also knelt down to greet him.
"Don't go out unless you have anything to do. Enemy spies could come at any time. You got lucky this time, but you can't be sure about the next time."
"I understand. I'll go back now." Yun Wansheng looked obedient and turned to leave.
Mu Xingci discovered that after not seeing this woman for many days, not only had her physical appearance changed a lot, but she had also become more well-behaved and sensible, and no longer had the arrogant and rude nature of the past. Especially her unconventional dress today made him like her a little more.
"Wait for me tonight!" Since she understood the rules, he didn't mind pampering her again.
This sentence successfully made Yun Wansheng stop in her tracks. She cursed him as a bastard in her heart, a gleam in her eyes, and she turned around and smiled flatteringly, then quickly threw herself into his arms.
"My Lord, I knew you still liked me. Have you thought it through and want to marry me as your legal wife?"
Mu Xingci was feeling the beauty in his arms, and he should have been enjoying it, but when he heard her words, his handsome face, which had just become amiable, immediately turned gloomy.
"It seems that I have overestimated your awareness, Yun Wansheng. Don't even think about wanting to be my wife. Even if you want to be my concubine, it is impossible." After saying this in a cold voice, he pushed the person away, turned around and left.
"My Lord, you are so cruel!" Yun Wansheng put on a full show and pretended to cry at his back.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xingci not only did not stop, but instead quickened his pace, allowing her to watch him ride away.
Yun Wansheng watched him walk away and spat softly: "Who wants to be your wife or concubine? Do you think you are very charming?" After saying this in a low voice, she called Wang Ma and went to the vegetable market.
In the afternoon, Yun Wansheng asked Wang Ma to chop the pork she bought in the morning into stuffing, thinking of eating dumplings stuffed with pork and green onions in the evening.
Since Wang Ma’s dumplings were not tasty, Yun Wansheng had to make the filling herself. After everything was ready, one rolled out the dough while the other wrapped it.
"Miss Yun, please don't blame me for being nosy. When you see the Marquis again, don't always mention the matter of his legal wife. Don't you think about it? The Marquis has a title and an official position. In any way, you can't marry him."
Aunt Wang advised her tactfully, almost saying that your lowly status made you unfit to be the Marquis's wife.
"Don't worry, Aunt Wang. I know what I'm doing."
Yun Wansheng did not argue with her. It was useless to say anything to someone with such pedantic ideas.
The original owner's identity was indeed very low. She was just a seventeen-year-old singing girl. Due to her long-term wandering, her seventeen-year-old body looked like she was thirteen or fourteen.
Three months ago, she went out to sing with her grandfather, with whom she depended on for everything. On the way back, she was forcibly dragged into a carriage and met Mu Xingci, who had been drugged.
Just like that, the original owner's innocence was lost on that carriage, and Mu Xingci regretted it immensely after he woke up! However, he didn't act irresponsibly; he simply gave her a separate courtyard to live in and made the original owner his mistress.
Her grandfather also arranged accommodation for them so that they no longer had to worry about making a living.
After everything was arranged for the grandfather and grandson, Mu Xingci did not come for the first half month. It was Aunt Wang who gave the original owner some advice, telling her that it would be better for her to win over the man's heart in order to ensure her good life in the future.
The original owner cried uncontrollably at first when she was raped, but later she found out that the man was Marquis Weiyuan and was also handsome. She couldn't help but feel overjoyed. If she could marry such a prestigious man, she would be able to enjoy wealth and glory in her life.
So she listened to Aunt Wang and pretended to be sick, forcing Mu Xingci to come and visit her. After all, she was the woman who saved him, so it would be difficult for him not to come.
This made him feel a little pity for the woman's frail and pitiful appearance, so he came to stay with her for a night every few days.
Sometimes when he was in a good mood, he would reward her with some silver money, but he never coaxed the original owner. Every time he came, he would go straight to bed without any foreplay.
When the original owner saw that the man was so generous to her, she thought that the marquis liked her in his heart, but just didn't like to express it.
Now that she had money, the original owner also loved to dress herself up. She often dressed herself up extremely gorgeously, trying her best to attract the marquis.
