Lu Huan's icy eyes finally lit up after hearing these words. "That's true."
Su Qian looked at the scar on his earlobe and asked him, "What happened after you entered the fire scene that day?"
He was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Su Qian to take the initiative to care about him. "I was injured a little, but it's nothing serious."
In fact, it was certainly not as easy as he said, but he didn't want her to know, nor did he want her to worry.
"Your mother's tablet..."
Lu Huan: "The tablet was rescued... but it was also partially burned by the fire."
He thought, after all, it was he who was useless.
He failed to save his mother's tablet, nor could he save Su Qian.
He lost everything, but fortunately, Su Qian came back.
The two of them sat in silence at the table. After a while, Lu Huan put down his spoon without touching a single bite of the porridge.
"Come with me."
Su Qian said "hmm" lightly. At this moment, although she didn't want to leave, she had to leave.
Since she no longer had a mission, she actually didn't need to stay close to Lu Huan, but if she didn't leave, Lu Huan would definitely vent his anger on Zhang Rui.
So, she had to go.
She hadn't figured it out for a while. Although there were no more life-threatening people restraining her, the war between Nanchang and Fengyuan was not over yet...
This matter was caused by her. If she hides in the dark, it would be against the will of heaven.
So, she had to go.
Lu Huan came to her side, took her hand without saying anything, and pulled her towards the door with some force.
It was dark and every household had lit a light. Dinner time was usually the busiest time in the village, but at this moment it was exceptionally quiet.
Su Qian walked to the door and saw the black-armored soldiers surrounding the courtyard, and then he understood what was going on.
At this time, Zhang Rui had a piece of silk cloth stuffed in his mouth. Because he was struggling and speaking disrespectfully, Zhong Wei ordered someone to block his mouth.
He saw the tall man who was cold but majestic before, holding a sword in one hand and holding Su Qian in the other, and the two of them walked out side by side. He was so shocked that his eyes widened and he kept yelling.
Lu Huan glanced at him coldly, "Noisy."
Zhong Wei observed Lu Huan's expression. Based on his understanding of Lu Huan over the years, he knew that Lu Huan must want this person to shut up completely.
Just as he was about to move, he heard Su Qian say, "Brother Rui is an honest and kind person. He was the one who saved me when I was in the mountains before."
She turned to look at Lu Huan, but didn't say what was in her mind. "So, I think..."
How could Lu Huan not understand what she meant? She wanted to save his life and ask for some reward for him.
Lu Huan suppressed the jealousy in her heart. This man lived with her under the same roof for a few days.
But he couldn't punish or blame anyone, which was really frustrating.
He exhaled heavily and said depressedly, "I will give you a thousand taels of silver and a hundred acres of land."
"You are not allowed to leave Li'an City for the rest of your life." Lu Huan said coldly, then pulled Su Qian towards the carriage at the village entrance, leaving Zhang Rui with only their backs accompanying him.
Zhang Rui's anxiety turned into confusion and helplessness. This emotion was indescribable and inexplicable.
Isn't she... a wanted criminal?
Why would such a powerful person go to such great lengths to come to this small mountain village to look for her?
Zhang Rui could see the dissatisfaction and jealousy in Lu Huan's eyes, but for her sake, that man not only did not kill him, but even rewarded him.
And these money and land are enough for him to have food and clothing for the rest of his life.
These were the rewards that man gave him, but also the punishment, a punishment that prevented him from leaving Li'an City for the rest of his life.
…
Lu Huan came on horseback, and since there was no carriage here, Su Qian had no choice but to ride with him.
Su Qian felt a little uncomfortable sitting on the horse and tried to keep some distance from him, but Lu Huan would not let her. He loosened one of his hands that was holding the reins, pressed on her lower abdomen, and pressed her against his chest.
"Don't move!" The calm and familiar voice contained an irresistible command.
"Be careful not to fall."
This sentence really had a great deterrent effect on Su Qian. After all, she fell off a horse and came to this era.
Seeing that she had stopped moving, Lu Huan squeezed his horse's belly and rode away towards the city of Li'an...
The sound of horses' footsteps came one after another behind him, but Su Qian sighed in his heart.
She seemed to have entered a strange circle. Something in the dark led her to this era, and she kept entangled with the two of them.
Her arrival added to the already turbulent times the chaos of war and disaster.
Maybe she is not a goddess at all, but the witch they are talking about.
When a witch appears, disaster will arise...
The horse ran very fast, but it still took more than half an hour to reach Li'an City. Lu Huan jumped off the horse nimbly, then stretched out his hands to hold her down from the waist.
Su Qian felt dizzy from the bumpy ride, and before the dizziness in her eyes could disappear, she was picked up by Lu Huan.
It was a very cold winter day, so Lu Huan wrapped her head in his black mink coat and took her to the best inn in Li'an City.
When the black cloak was removed from her sight, she could see her surroundings clearly. "Inn?"
Lu Huan stared at her with his dark eyes, as if Su Qian would disappear if he looked away.
"Well, have a good night's rest first, and then leave with me tomorrow."
Even though he has changed his identity now, he still calls himself "me" in front of Su Qian.
Su Qian: "Where are you taking me?"
Su Qian saw a hint of anxiety in Lu Huan's eyes.
Lu Huan said, "Although I don't want you to see Yan Xuanye, I will always be worried if I don't bring you with me."
"I was negligent last time." Lu Huan held her hand tightly. "From now on, you must stay by my side every day and not leave even a step."
There was a morbid paranoia in his vigilance, which frightened Su Qian. She felt that things were beginning to develop in a direction that she could not control.
"What's wrong? I always feel that... you are a little unhappy." His big hand gently stroked Su Qian's cheek, but the coolness of his palm made Su Qian tremble.
Su Qian: "I want to ask you, what is the situation outside now?"
Lu Huan thought she wanted him to speed up, "Don't worry, I promised you something, and I will do it naturally."
"Perhaps you have guessed it. Now... I am the new emperor of Nanchang State."
Su Qian nodded: "They said that the emperor is both civil and military, and that his father was a founding general. I guessed it then."
Lu Huan suddenly smiled, "You are a smart one."
Su Qian: "Then how did you ascend to the throne?"
