Wen Muchen's thoughts made Ying Xixi remain expressionless.
Wen Muchen’s secret?
Ying Chaoyang knew?
Wen Muchen's secret must be just that one.
He hid his identity and married her in order to kill her, his enemy, and avenge his parents and elder sister.
But how could Ying Chaoyang know?
Whenever Ying Chaoyang gets involved in anything, things always seem to become complicated.
Forget it, let’s talk about it when we get to the border.
Ying Xixi and Wen Muchen traveled for half the night and finally caught up with the group of soldiers heading to the border.
But she did not show up directly. Instead, she asked her stand-in to come over and the two of them exchanged roles.
The stand-in disguised himself as Ying Xixi, and his figure was extremely similar to hers. At first glance, Wen Muchen thought it was the real Ying Xixi.
But even if a fake thing can be mistaken for the real thing, it is still fake after all.
When standing next to the real Ying Xixi, subtle differences can be seen.
Looking at the two real and fake Ying Xixi, something flashed through Wen Muchen's mind.
But the thing flashed by too fast and disappeared before Wen Muchen could catch it.
Ying Xixi's stand-in returned to her original appearance and brought a piece of women's clothing to Wen Muchen.
Wen Muchen looked at Ying Xixi.
"Go and change. You will go to the border with me, but you must not reveal your identity as my husband.
You are pretending to be my servant and following me. You have to ride a horse the whole way. Can you handle it?"
Ying Xixi asked Wen Muchen, but her eyes did not meet his.
Wen Muchen's eyes followed Ying Xixi's, "I'm fine. I'm fine now."
"Okay, then go ahead and give him a horse."
Ying Xixi ordered the secret guards.
Without waiting for the secret guard to respond, Wen Muchen spoke quickly.
"My king, can't I ride with you?"
"No, it is not right for a servant to ride on the same horse with the king."
Ying Xixi refused without hesitation, and jumped on her horse without waiting for Wen Muchen.
It would take at least six or seven days to travel from the capital to the border at full speed.
In the past six or seven days, Ying Xixi was busy on the road and didn't say much to Wen Muchen.
Instead, Wen Muchen was more attached to Ying Xixi, running around and doing what a servant should do.
Sun Lin sent Ying Chaoyang to the palace and then rode his horse to catch up.
Seeing that the seat that originally belonged to him was taken by Wang Fu, Sun Lin had a complicated expression.
She didn't quite understand why the king brought his wife with him.
Could it be that the king is still worried that his wife will be kidnapped a second time by the King of Chao?
But with the Queen around, such a thing would not happen again, at least during the time Wang was away from Beijing.
Ying Xixi and her group rushed to the border.
The war here has come to a temporary end.
General Liu, the national defense general, was extremely excited when he saw Ying Xixi coming.
"King! You are finally here! I have been waiting for you for a long time! I will tell you about our latest battle plan and situation. Please see if there is anything that needs to be modified!
General Liu exchanged a few simple pleasantries with Ying Xixi and then got down to business.
Ying Xixi nodded and went into the tent with General Liu.
When the surrounding soldiers heard that Prince Xi was coming, they all smiled.
His excitement was beyond words.
It’s like, as long as Ying Xixi comes, this war will definitely be won!
Sun Lin, who was guarding outside the tent, saw the confusion on Wen Muchen's face and spoke.
"Are you confused as to why everyone is so happy about the king's arrival?"
Wen Muchen pursed his lips. "Is it because the war a few years ago was a success under Wang's leadership? So when everyone sees Wang coming, it's like they've seen their backbone?"
“That’s one reason, but the bigger reason is that as long as the king comes, it means everyone is saved.
The king's existence is more like a belief that has the power to reassure people.
Although the king did not go to the front line to fight, as long as he was in the rear, everyone could charge forward without fear or hesitation.
In that war, the Beitong Kingdom lost and retreated in exchange for ceding a small border town.
The people in that small town were once citizens of Beitong Kingdom, and later became citizens of our Silver Phoenix Dynasty.
The king was worried that they would suffer psychological damage from the war, so he went to comfort them personally and assured them that the Silver Phoenix Dynasty would protect them.
Everyone here, whether soldiers or civilians, likes the king very much."
Sun Lin's words made Wen Muchen frown, and he opened his mouth and almost asked the question.
He really wanted to ask, if the king really comforted the people in the town and was really worried about them, then why did the king kill so many people in the town like a killer god!
He saw it with his own eyes!
Wen Muchen took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the emotions churning in his chest.
That small town has now become the territory of the Silver Phoenix Dynasty, and he will always find an opportunity to visit it.
He wanted to see his parents and eldest sister, to see if there were any survivors he knew.
He didn't dare to think about it even in his dreams at midnight, but he had been avoiding it for a long time now.
It's time to face it.
By then, I can explain clearly to General Wang what happened back then...
Ying Xixi and General Liu discussed the current situation and the situation when the two armies fought, and the discussion lasted until midnight.
Ying Xixi rubbed her eyebrows, feeling really sleepy.
"General Liu, it's getting late. We should rest. We can continue this discussion tomorrow morning."
"Okay, okay! Your Majesty, please take a rest. I was so excited to see you that I accidentally delayed your rest time!
Your Majesty, I have already arranged a place for you to stay. It is a bit shabby, and I apologize for the inconvenience."
General Liu said this as he escorted Ying Xixi out of the tent.
"General Liu has lived in the tent for such a long time and he doesn't feel wronged, so why should I feel wronged?
This prince is here to protect the Silver Phoenix Dynasty, not to have fun. Just do as you please. No need to make any special arrangements for me."
Ying Xixi waved her hand and laughed, glanced at Sun Lin who was guarding the door of the tent, and glanced at Wen Muchen out of the corner of her eye.
"You all should go and rest. You don't need to guard this king anymore."
Sun Lin agreed and left first. Wen Muchen didn't say anything, but when Ying Xixi left, he followed her.
Ying Xixi paused in front of her tent and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need for you to wait on me. You should go and rest."
After saying that, Ying Xixi opened the tent and went in.
But as soon as she entered, Wen Muchen, who followed closely in, hugged her tightly from behind.
There were no candles lit in the tent yet, and it was pitch dark.
In darkness, human senses are infinitely magnified.
Ying Xixi could feel Wen Muchen's heartbeat quickening on her back.
I can also smell the faint scent of Wen Muchen...
