Cave

The man was very tall, and he was looking at her with cold eyebrows, but soon he looked away.

Mu An Ning suddenly came to his senses when he felt his body sink. He found that he was covered by a black cloak with the word "Lu" embroidered on it.

The man in front of him was wearing the battle robe of the Great Chu, and was obviously a famous general.

Apart from Gu Huaizhi, there was only one person left to lead the troops this time.

General Lu is a quiet man with a personality very similar to his brother.

Lu Changqing.

He should be twenty-five this year, but it doesn't seem too much of an exaggeration to say that he is about the same age as them.

With this in mind, Mu An Ning did not refuse the cloak, but gently took it, then stood up with difficulty and bowed appropriately: "Thank you, General Lu."

The hem of her dress was torn just now. Although her underwear was not exposed, it was still inappropriate.

Ten years ago, General Lu went to war with Prince Anqing and became famous in one battle, but he never participated in any banquets in the capital, and no one knew his whereabouts.

Actually, this was her first time meeting this legendary figure.

After hearing the girl's polite thanks and calling out his name, the man shifted his alert gaze from the surroundings to the girl again.

The woman in front of me was wearing a moon-white gauze dress. There were some traces of mud on her crystal white face, but it could not hide her gorgeous appearance.

The girl's bright black almond-shaped eyes were fixed on his face without blinking, and she was sizing him up without any concealment.

Lu Changqing narrowed his eyes and stared at the girl for a long time before nodding slightly, acknowledging his identity.

Just as he was about to ask, another girl's voice interrupted him: "Sister, are you okay?"

Mu Wan'er finally got up and kicked the unconscious bandit. Then she staggered to Mu An Ning's side and asked curiously, "Sister, where did you stab that bandit just now?"

[My daughter is really good at this! ]

[Luckily my daughter managed to save herself. I was frozen and couldn't move at all. I was almost dying of anxiety.]

Mu An Ning subconsciously glanced at the greasy bandit on the ground and trembled his fingertips: "Nao Hu acupoint."

This was what she had learned from a medical book a few days ago, but if the needle was inserted incorrectly, it could easily kill someone.

However, she couldn't care less about so many things just now.

Moreover, this person has a bad character, and even if he is to die, he deserves it.

Mu Wan'er said "Oh" in admiration, then carefully folded the bag behind her, looked at Lu Zhangqing and then at Mu An Ning.

[Tsk tsk tsk, this can be considered as a hero saving a beautiful girl. 】

[But who is this handsome guy? I just heard my daughter call him a general, why don’t I know him? ]

[Was there such a person in the previous two times? ]

Mu An Ning clutched his cloak tightly and looked at Mu Wan'er, feeling a little surprised.

There were actually people that Mu Wan'er didn't know.

Does this mean that the so-called plot is not unchangeable?

Just as the two sisters were looking at each other, Lu Zhangqing suddenly looked seriously at the woman wearing his cloak and asked, "Miss, can you be a doctor?"

Mu An Ning was a little surprised by his question, but nodded and replied, "A little."

But she was not sure whether it was her or Lu Changqing who made the person dizzy just now.

Lu Zhangqing's eyebrows twitched slightly, remembering the silver needle in the woman's hand before his sword handle fell: "Miss, can you follow me to save people?"

[This guy is not going to kidnap two of us beautiful girls, is he? ]

Mu Wan'er's eyes became alert, and she quietly grabbed the arm of Mu An Ning beside her.

Mu An Ning was also confused, but seeing the man's sincere eyes, she weighed the issue for a moment and nodded: "My daughter can go with General Lu to take a look."

Mu Anning paused for a moment and added, "It's just that my medical skills are not very good, so I may not be able to save him."

Although she didn't know why Lu Changqing appeared here in the middle of the night, she originally wanted to ask him for help and show them a way.

It was just right that he had something to ask for at this moment.

Lu Changqing returned to his silence, saying "hmm" sparingly, and then glanced at the two sisters, as if signaling them to follow him.

Seeing Mu Wan'er standing still, Mu An Ning said softly, "Wan'er, let's go."

Mu Wan'er looked at her sister's cloak and was still a little hesitant. She asked suspiciously, "Sister, is this man trustworthy?"

At the moment, she couldn't call the system and had no way of knowing whether the so-called General Lu was an enemy or a friend.

Mu An Ning nodded and explained softly: "General Lu is the one who represents our Great Chu in this expedition."

The implication is that if even those who are loyal to the country cannot be trusted, then no one can be trusted.

Mu Wan'er's eyes widened, looking quite surprised: "Lu Changqing?"

【So this is what he looks like! 】

[However, the only person who led the army in my previous life that I remember was Gu Huaizhi.]

Mu An Ning took in all of his sister's thoughts, then looked at Lu Zhangqing's back, which was about to disappear into the night, with an uncertain expression: "Let's go."

Mu Wan'er came back to her senses, said okay, and hurried to follow.

But after Mu An Ning took two steps, he suddenly frowned and slowed down his pace.

Mu Wan'er felt strange and asked in confusion: "Sister, what's wrong?"

Mu An Ning looked at his ankle and realized that he must have sprained it again, but he just shook his head and said, "It's okay, Wan'er, please help me, I can't walk anymore."

Mu Wan'er didn't think much about it, but nodded repeatedly, holding the girl's arm, and shouted to the front with full energy: "General Lu, wait for us!"

[This is a step that shows that he doesn't recognize his relatives. He has no idea how to be gentle with women. ]

[I have a very strong body that can heal itself. I was sore all over just now, but now I don’t feel anything.]

[Alas, my daughter doesn’t have such a good body...]

Lu Changqing, who was used to being alone, paused for a moment and waited there for a long while.

Hearing the vague footsteps behind him, he turned around and looked at the two sisters, and noticed something was wrong.

Lu Zhangqing strode towards the girl and asked in a cold voice, "Sprained your ankle?

Mu An Ning hummed, apologetically saying, "Sorry to trouble General Lu to walk slower."

Lu Zhangqing frowned and said nothing more, but after turning around, he did slow down his pace to match the two sisters.

As we walked, strange noises kept coming from the forest.

It sounds like an animal or the wind.

Not long after, Lu Changqing turned around again and said calmly, "Miss, you should not stay here for long. I will carry you on my back."

*

At the same time, in the Chu camp, a man in black clothes wearing a black and gold mask tapped the tabletop slowly and uttered two words: "Where are the people?"

The soldiers knelt down in unison, and the leader spoke tremblingly: "Master, please forgive me, I am incompetent!"

Seeing that the man in black clothes remained silent, he quickly added: "But don't worry, military advisor. They can't escape far."

Just as the face under the black and gold mask was stained with a strange smile, a woman wearing a veil suddenly walked into the tent.

The woman's laughter was as sweet as a silver bell: "Does the military advisor want to kill them all?"

*

Inside the cave, there was a man leaning against the wall alone with his eyes tightly closed.

Suddenly, he heard a few footsteps, his ears moved, and he laughed weakly: "General Lu, I thought you were going to abandon your savior."

The boy's voice was not heard loudly, but was heard by everyone who entered the cave.

Seeing that no one responded, the young man slowly opened his eyes, but the playful look between his brows gradually faded.

His eyes fell on the girl behind Lu Changqing, and his heart suddenly tightened.

It was not until Mu An Ning got off Lu Changqing's back that he suddenly saw who the person next to the fire was.

The boy was not wearing any clothes at this time, and the muscle lines of his upper body were clearly visible.

His forehead was covered with sweat, his lips were a little pale, and his right hand was pressed tightly on his lower abdomen, which seemed to be injured.

【Ouch, don’t look at it! 】

[My daughter is still foresighted. She found the male supporting role by accident. If she follows him, she will definitely find the male lead! ]

Mu Wan'er at the side suppressed the rising corners of her lips and turned her head away in a reserved manner, but she couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

[Ahem, the male supporting role is a bit of a dog, but his figure is not bad. 】

"This girl is..." Lu Zhangqing did not feel the atmosphere was strange, and was about to introduce her to Gu Huaizhi in a calm voice, but he suddenly stopped, remembering that he did not even ask the girl's name.

Just as Lu Zhangqing turned to look at Mu An Ning, Gu Huaizhi finally spoke in a low, hoarse voice: "An Ning."

Mu An Ning did not respond, but just looked at the young man again.

She could tell he was badly hurt.

These two words seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

And this scene, for some reason, gradually overlapped with the dream she had some time ago.

Lu Zhangqing's tense face finally showed some changes. He glanced at the man and woman and asked, "Do you two know each other?"

Gu Huaizhi hummed softly, but his eyes were fixed on the girl, fearing that she would disappear in the next moment.

But soon, he couldn't help frowning.

Why didn't she stay in Beijing instead of running to this dangerous place?

Why is her dress so dirty and messy?

Why was she being carried on Lu Changqing's back and wearing his cloak?

Just when Gu Huaizhi was full of doubts, Lu Zhangqing spoke abruptly: "As you can see, the prince has suffered a serious injury in the abdomen."

Mu An Ning withdrew his gaze from the young man and nodded. There was nothing unusual on his face, but his heart was in turmoil.

In any war, there will inevitably be casualties and injuries.

It's perfectly normal for Gu Huaizhi to be like this now, but why does she seem a little...scared?

Mu Wan'er had been paying attention to the subtle atmosphere between Mu An Ning and Gu Huai Zhi, and suddenly laughed awkwardly: "Ahem, General Lu, General Lu, how about we go out and sit for a while first?"

[Well, let's give them some space for two. ]

[But the male supporting role is so weird and pitiful, my female partner won't change her mind, right? ]

With Mu Wan'er's voice ringing in his ears, Mu An Ning unconsciously clenched his fingers, trying to sort out his thoughts.

She did feel that Gu Huaizhi was frighteningly fragile at the moment, but it would be absurd for her to fall in love with him again because of this.

What's more, she is already married.

Lu Zhangqing pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and seeing that the two knew each other, he said nothing more, but said in a cold voice: "I'll go to keep watch."

Having said that, he stretched out his long legs and walked out of the cave without looking back.

As for the cloak draped on Mu An Ning, he did not take it away.

[This General Lu walks really fast! ]

Mu Wan'er was a little dumbfounded for a moment, but she quickly reacted and said seriously, "Sister, you can treat the prince's injuries. I'll go out and get some fresh air."

In an instant, only a man and a woman were left in the cave.

Dry wood ignites a raging fire.

Mu An Ning's eyes flashed slightly, and suddenly met the boy's dark peach blossom eyes.
