Xi Gongyong knew what Mu Run was going to say, and a look of shame appeared on his face.
Mu Run said, "Have something to eat."
Xi Gongyong's eyes were dark and his face was very thin, clearly indicating that he had been overworked.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Xi Gongyong only picked up the tea and took a sip.
It has a sweet taste and leaves a refreshing aftertaste; it's an excellent tea. "What is this?"
“I made Autumn Tea Jade Dew.” Mu Run recalled the first tea she truly encountered when she first came into this world, which was from Xi Ji Tea House. “Back then, I brewed a cup of tea at your tea house, do you remember?”
“Of course. I still regret my decision to this day.” Xi Gongyong took another sip of tea.
Mu Run gestured for him to have some tea and snacks, "What are you regretting?"
Xi Gongyong felt a strong hunger after the tea entered his stomach. Perhaps it was these physical discomforts that made him feel better.
"If only I could have kept you from him back then..."
The way Mu Run looked at him back then left a deep impression on his soul. Sometimes he would dream about her in the middle of the night, begging him to save her.
He examined everything she left in his shop. It was the kind of stuff someone who was about to escape would prepare: so much dry food, a woman dressed as a man, and a drawing that could be used to make a map... At the time, Fu Yunchen was just a bandit leader in a mountain stronghold. If she had asked him for a favor, he could have kept her there.
Mu Run's eyes showed a look of reminiscence. At that time, she just wanted to find a place to stay, and she didn't know anything else. She thought she could get a place to stay by using her tea skills, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
"Hmm. If I could stay, I'd probably be a tea connoisseur or a tea shop assistant now." Mu Run smiled and said, "Don't just drink tea, try Xiao Huan's specialty tea snack, pine nut cake."
“…Yes.” Xi Gongyong picked up a piece of bright green nut cake shaped like a leaf, took a bite…it wasn’t too sweet, and had a faint nut flavor, which, combined with the sweetness of the tea, was just right.
"Miss Xiao Huan's skills are comparable to those of a palace pastry chef."
"Thank you, Lord Xigong." Liu Xiaohuan poured him another cup of tea. "Please have some."
Mu Run said, "Take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."
Xi Gongyong's eyes immediately welled up with tears, "This sinful subject..."
Mu Run continued, "Stop. What's past is past. Don't let the past hold you back in the present. Look around you and live in the moment."
Xi Gongyong nodded, "Your subject understands."
After finishing the tea and snacks, Xi Gongyong looked much better and got up to take his leave.
Mu Run asked Liu Xiaohuan to escort him.
Watching his departing figure, still slightly hunched over.
Change doesn't happen overnight; hopefully, he can truly understand that.
The warship did not linger, but the two corpse generals who had escaped were also killed. They were captured personally by Fu Yunchen and his men.
It turns out that corpse generals can act like normal people during the day. However, while they can disguise their appearance, they cannot hide the stench of corpses emanating from their bodies.
Fu Yunchen let Grey smell the stench of the corpse general, and then took it to search the city.
As a result, besides the two who escaped, another corpse will be found.
As night fell, the corpses in Xiangcheng finally stopped wandering the streets. Only a few weak corpses remained, which were also cleared out by Xigong Yong and his men.
After beheading the last corpse, Xi Gongyong looked up at the starry sky, his heart brimming with emotion.
"Live in the moment?"
