Mu Run breathed a sigh of relief. "With you here, I'm truly at ease. But doesn't Long Qian need protection during his seclusion?"
"Of course. The princess knows that person too, Xiaocao."
"What?! Little Grass is still alive?!" Yang Yang's expression changed drastically.
Ziwu replied, "It's a living dead."
Mu Run knew this; she had heard Fu Yunchen say, "She is now Long Qian's soldier. Apart from her cultivation, she has no consciousness of her own. If you say she's alive, she has no soul. If you say she's dead, her body is still alive."
Ziwu nodded, "If she falls into the hands of the Prince of Chongyang, she will surely be reduced to ashes. It would be better for her to serve as a soldier for the prince, so that her sixty years of cultivation would not be wasted."
"Sixty years of internal energy," Mu Run sighed softly. If she hadn't been harmed by Xiao An and fallen into the Jingyue River, that sixty years of internal energy would have been hers.
"In that case, it would be wonderful if you were willing to stay by Huanhuan and Tuantuan's side. Just tell me what conditions you need, and I will not hesitate."
"There is only one condition: I will only take care of Miss and Young Master. As for the Princess and Prince Chongyang... no matter what happens to you, I will not interfere."
"No problem." Mu Run smiled. "It seems that Long Qian really values the two little ones."
"Yes. Then I'll go to Miss and Young Master's place first." Zi Wu had no intention of continuing the conversation, nor was it necessary.
Mu Run said, "Okay." Then she said to Cai Shi, "Take Zi Wu to Huan Huan and Tuan Tuan's place. Speaking of which, Tuan Tuan was talking about Zi Wu yesterday."
Upon hearing that Tuantuan was concerned about him, Ziwu's eyes lit up instantly, and he became much more lively.
Mu Run noticed his change and became even more relieved.
Ziwu's feelings for the two children stem from a genuine affection and protectiveness.
...
Fu Yunchen stood outside the main hall, looking up at the still snowy sky, his hands clenched into fists.
Hongmi came out of the hall and saw Fu Yunchen. She quickly bowed and said, "Boss, why are you standing here? Please come in."
Fu Yunchen paused for a moment, then said to Hongmi, "Tell her that I will be leaving for a while, and she can send me a message if she needs anything."
After saying that, he turned and left, his steps hurried as if he were running away from something.
Hongmi frowned slightly, then looked around the hall and muttered, "Did the eldest brother and sister-in-law have a fight?"
After hearing what Fu Yunchen left behind, Mu Run was also completely baffled.
Since the incident with Lan Zhi, Fu Yunchen hadn't seen her again. At first, she thought he was busy, but was it really so he was so busy that he even had to stand at the door and have someone else relay his goodbyes?
Fu Yunchen's departure this time was far from as casual as he claimed.
He led 200,000 elite troops from Chongyang Prefecture and marched towards the Jin Dynasty.
The Lunar New Year is just around the corner, and preparations for the festival are underway everywhere, even at the borders where restrictions are quite relaxed.
Fu Yunchen led his troops with lightning speed, leaving behind nothing but charred remains wherever the Zhongjin soldiers were, except for the ordinary civilians!
When Mu Run received the news, his mind went blank for a long time. In the end, he felt that this was indeed something he would do.
But then again, it felt very unusual.
Because the methods he used along the way were too ruthless, just like the way she first met him, so cold and heartless.
She wrote to him, asking what was going on, but in the end, it was like throwing a stone into the sea; he didn't reply with a single word!
...
Hongmi rushed into the hall, beaming with joy, and said to Murun, "The boss has already taken over the Jingyu River. Nearly half of the entire Dragon Vein Canal is now under the boss's control. Further ahead is Xiangcheng, the capital of the Zhongjin Dynasty."
"What's Emperor Xingwen doing?"
"Emperor Xingwen is preparing to personally lead an expedition to Tonghuang Island, between Xiangcheng and Jingyu, to fight against the eldest brother."
---Aside---
My old friend really, really wants to retire; it's too discouraging to write... Six thousand words gone!
