沐锦手持锦盒，静静地立于城楼上，透过茫茫夜色，凝望着对面山峦上的光亮，若有所思。
“哟~人家都走远了，还一副依依不舍的样子呢。”
沐锦转身，看见一脸不快的苏羿正朝她走来，她轻挑了下眉，心中暗自思忖：“这男人怕不是吃醋了吧？”
Mu Jin found it somewhat amusing, but too lazy to argue with Su Yi at this crucial moment, she remained silent and turned to look at the light on the distant mountains.
Just now, Su Yi saw Nangong Min hugging Mu Jin, completely ignoring Mu Yan's advice. He was furious and used his lightness skill to fly towards Mu Jin and Nangong Min. However, before he could get there and pull the two apart, Nangong Min turned around and flew down Liangmen Pass.
His anger had not yet subsided when he saw that Mu Jin still seemed reluctant to part with Nangong Min. Could it be that their old feelings had rekindled? How could he not be furious?
Su Yi made sarcastic remarks, but Mu Jin ignored him. He stepped forward, snatched the brocade box from Mu Jin's hand, and opened it.
"Isn't this the legendary longevity elixir? He's so generous, giving you even their Nangong Divine Sect's sacred artifact. Aren't you touched?"
Mu Jin glanced at Su Yi sideways and scoffed, "You are quite touched."
"You!" Su Yi was furious.
"You're moved by this worthless pill? I could give you the entire empire, could he do that?"
"But he saved me, and more than once."
"I saved your life too, so why do you only remember his kindness and not mine?"
Mu Jin turned around and looked at Su Yi, whose face was flushed with anger. She chuckled inwardly, then pretended to be thinking seriously and said to Su Yi, "Perhaps first love is more unforgettable?"
"What first love! You!" Su Yi stared at Mu Jin and yelled a few times. He, who was usually so eloquent, was so angry at Mu Jin that he couldn't say a word.
Mu Jin stepped forward and snatched the brocade box back from Su Yi's hand. "This longevity pill is so precious, be careful not to drop it."
After she finished speaking, she turned to leave, but before she could take two steps, she was suddenly pulled back by a large hand, and in an instant, Mu Jin fell into a broad and firm embrace.
Su Yi hugged Mu Jin tightly, gritting his teeth as he said, "I won't allow you to like Nangong Min. He already has a wife and children, yet he still tries to seduce you. How can he be considered a good person?"
"You must not change your mind either. You promised me that you would marry me after the war was over, and I will never allow you to break your promise!"
With a soft "pfft," Mu Jin laughed against Su Yi's chest. "You're acting like a complete shrew now. Your soldiers should really see what their king looks like."
Su Yi said nonchalantly, "I don't care. Anyway, you're mine. You're not allowed to go with anyone, and you're not allowed to be seduced by anyone else."
"Let me go first." Mu Jin struggled against Su Yi's chest. "It's too tight."
Upon hearing this, Su Yi slightly loosened his grip, but still held Mu Jin in his arms, not allowing her to break free.
"If you do not respond to me, I will not let go."
Mu Jin smiled and said, "Alright, I was just joking with you. Min and I haven't rekindled our old flame. He gave me the longevity pill only to fulfill a promise he made in the past. I accepted the longevity pill only to put his mind at ease."
“Su Yi! Min has saved me from danger many times. In my heart, he is no different from my family. I hope you can understand.”
Su Yi looked displeased: "Would family members hug and cuddle like this? Besides, you're not related by blood."
"That was a farewell hug!"
"I don't believe it! You even put on makeup tonight just to see him."
I wear makeup because~
Mu Jin thought for a moment and decided not to explain to Su Yi that she was wearing makeup because she wanted to leave this world with dignity before she died. However, she dared not tell Su Yi this thought.
Mu Jin thought for a moment, realizing that being gentle wouldn't work, it seemed she had no choice but to be forceful: "Let go of me right now!"
Su Yi said, "I won't!" Su Yi tried to bargain with Mu Jin, "Unless you say right now that you will only love me for the rest of your life and that you will not marry anyone else!"
"Are you going to let go or not?!"
"I won't let go!"
"One, two." Mu Jin's voice was slightly cold as she began to count, but before she could even reach three, Su Yi released her hand. He understood the principle of "knowing when to stop." Su Yi glared at Mu Jin with resentment.
Mu Jin said, "Min told me that he will definitely kill Nangong Ce tonight. Without Nangong Ce, I believe the Dongyue army will no longer use underhanded tricks like using corpse soldiers."
"Furthermore, Min said that Nangong Ce is very close, so he will definitely take this opportunity tonight to deal with Nangong Ce. What about us?"
Mu Jin looked at the light in the distant mountains and asked, "Tonight, Su Yuntian must not have expected that we would defeat the corpse soldiers, so the number of people he brought must not be the full number. This is also a good time for us to attack Dongyue."
"Of course I understand!" Su Yi said, taking Mu Jin's hand and walking to the other side of the city wall to look down. There, they saw the Southern Shu army assembled and ready to go.
Mu Jin smiled and said, "It seems you were prepared all along."
"Of course!" Su Yi said sarcastically, "While some people are being affectionate with others, I will order all generals to gather their troops. We will wait for our Deputy General Mu to give the order, and then the Southern Shu army can rush out of Liangmen Pass and slaughter the Eastern Yue army without leaving a single piece of armor!"
Seeing that Su Yi and Mu Jin were still dawdling, Mu Yan became impatient and ran towards them.
"Your Majesty! Give the order! Attacking Dongyue now will surely lead to their demise."
Su Yi looked at Mu Jin, seemingly waiting for her to give the order.
