Despite wearing a coarse linen outfit, Bai Yanxi's feminine beauty was still undeniable; she looked more like a woman than a man.
Bai Yanxi nervously rubbed the hem of her clothes and said to Mu Run and Fu Yunchen, "Thank you, thank you for saving me."
Fu Yunchen handed Bai Yanxi a map, saying, "It shows how to get to the Hezhuo tribe. There's a horse there too. Take care on your journey."
"I, Bai Yanxi, will remember this kindness and repay it generously in the future. If I am unfortunate enough to be reborn, I will repay it even in the afterlife."
Bai Yanxi took the map and rode away on horseback.
"Was all that commotion last night because of Bai Yanxi?"
"Although he didn't say it explicitly, the chief of the Hezhuo tribe is surnamed Bai, and he has twins, a boy and a girl."
What benefit would you gain from showing him kindness?
"Maybe I'm just doing a good deed."
"I don't believe it. But what about the Black Witch? With all this commotion, they'll definitely be more on guard now," Mu Run sighed.
Fu Yunchen said, "It's all been resolved."
"What did you say?"
"While you were sleeping, I went to meet them, and all four of them were there." Fu Yunchen patted her head. "You worked hard last night."
Mu Run understood; he had been training her all night!
"Shall we go to Yunlong Mountain now?"
"Um."
"Are you confident you can eradicate the black witch?" Mu Run recalled the witchcraft from last night, a power capable of shaking nature, which inexplicably instilled a sense of dread.
Fu Yunchen said, "As a Grand Commandant, I cannot allow myself to be without enemies."
Mu Run didn't understand. "What do you mean?"
Fu Yunchen smiled and said, "No need to understand."
But the more he said that, the more Mu Run wanted to use her brain.
"A military general who has no use for his skills will be discarded after he has served his purpose. Are you afraid of becoming like that?"
"Is that what you think?" Fu Yunchen looked down at her, a smile in his eyes.
Mu Run nodded, "But the Black Witches are so evil; they harm innocent people. It's different from your internal power struggles. If it were me, I would also protect my opponents, but I would never let the Black Witches live."
Whom do you keep?
Mu Run thought for a moment, "Externally, it's the Kingdom of Wu; internally, it's Prince Zhou and the imperial relatives, letting the emperor fight with his own family..."
Fu Yunchen took her hand and walked towards the distant Gobi Desert. The lake and oasis behind them were deserted, and even the sheep and horses were gone.
Along the roads not far from this oasis of lakes, groups of people, some leading horses, some herding sheep, and others carrying utensils, grain, and other supplies, hurried home.
...
That night, Mu Run and Fu Yunchen once again spent the night in the wilderness.
Mu Run, wrapped in a fox fur coat, sat by the fire, half-asleep.
Fu Yunchen looked at her delicate face, which was full of exhaustion, and her head was nodding off.
"If you're sleepy, lie down and go to sleep."
With a 'thud,' Mu Run collapsed to the ground and fell fast asleep.
Fu Yunchen got up, walked to her side, hugged her, extinguished the campfire, and continued walking along the official road.
Mu Run had a dream.
In her dream, she was nestled in a warm and fragrant cloud bed, with a snow-white cat beside her.
Suddenly the cat grew up and turned into a tiger with two huge wings...
"Freshly roasted duck, smells amazing! Come and buy some!"
Mu Run was awakened by the cries of street vendors. When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Fu Yunchen's magnified handsome face.
