Sichuan City.

After resting for half an hour, Mu Boyan led 14,000 soldiers from Sichuan City and prepared to go to Xiaocheng again. Before leaving, Mu Boyan specially gave Mu Zichen to Ji Haonan to take care of him.

"Chen'er, listen to my father's words, the front line is too dangerous, you can just wait here with peace of mind. When my father calms down Xiaocheng, he will come to take you home."

"But……"

Mu Zichen was about to speak when he was interrupted by Mu Boyan, "Also, if His Highness the Sixth Prince really comes to look for you, you should tell him not to go to Xiaocheng. After all, this is Nancheng Kingdom's own business. As a father

I don’t want to involve him.”

After a few words of instruction, Mu Boyan mounted his horse and left.

…

From early morning to six o'clock, and then from six o'clock to noon, Mu Zichen waited in the city lord's palace for half a day, but Shangguan Xuanxi never appeared.

Did something happen to him? Or, asking her to wait for him in Chuanzhong City was just his casual remarks.

Time passed by, and Mu Zichen began to feel restless. The distance from Xiaocheng to Sichuan City was less than a hundred miles. If she flew with a sword, she could arrive in half an hour at most, but she had already waited for two days.

More than an hour, let alone Xiaocheng to Sichuan City, even flying back to Tianshui City, is more than enough time.

In the afternoon, the sky above Chuanzhong City began to become gloomy, and there seemed to be a sign that heavy rain was coming.

In the city lord's mansion, the maids brought a sumptuous lunch to Mu Zichen, but they knocked on the door for a long time, but no one in the house answered. It was not until the older maid opened the door that they found that the house was already empty.

The older maid was startled, turned around and shouted to the servant outside the house: "Come here, go and tell the Lord of the City that the fourth lady of the Mu family is missing."

They didn't know that before a cup of tea, Mu Zichen had already used her sword control skills to leave the city lord's mansion. She had already decided to fly back to Xiaocheng from Sichuan City to find Mu Boyan.

Due to the bad weather and her shallow cultivation, Mu Zichen's sword control skills were greatly affected. In desperation, she had to reduce the altitude and speed of her flight.

Along the way, she chanted the four words Shangguan Xuanxi back and forth hundreds of times.

She asserted that he must have forgotten his agreement with her.

…

After flying for about half an hour, Mu Zichen arrived above a lush forest. At this time, the sky was already raining heavily. It didn't take long for her hair and clothes to be soaked by the rain.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, Mu Zichen had no choice but to fly down from the sky to the trees on the ground to take shelter from the rain.

The late autumn rain brought a chill, coupled with the accompanying strong wind, Mu Zichen not only shivered.

There was no one around, and in this place with no village or shop, Mu Zichen ran for a long time before finding a towering ancient tree deep in the forest that could barely hide from the rain.

Looking at herself soaked all over, Mu Zichen couldn't help but mutter to herself: "I don't know when it will rain... Shangguan Xuanxi!! You big liar, you agreed to come to Sichuan City with

We met up, but we couldn’t even see anyone... Just wait... Huh!! This princess will never pay attention to you again..."

Just when she was about to vent her anger, a low and evil voice suddenly came from above her head, "Who does Princess Qianluo not want to deal with?"

Mu Zichen suddenly came back to her senses and looked up. The person speaking was none other than Shangguan Xuanxi, who was wearing a dark red robe. He was holding a white umbrella and was sitting at the end of the branch with great interest.

Look at her.

"You, when did you come? I've been standing here for so long and I haven't heard a word from you!" Mu Zichen said angrily.

Shangguan Xuanxi narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, jumped down from the tree and came to Mu Zichen, looked at her intently for a long time, then lightly opened her thin lips and said: "I am watching the rain scene here, I don't know

Where did the little girl come from? She was making noisy noises under the tree for most of the day, disturbing my mood..."

While speaking, those seductive peach blossom eyes were staring at Mu Zichen's face. Their eyes were full of passion, as if they would be trapped if they were not careful.

Mu Zichen was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes at the other party and said: "Then, Your Highness, you can continue to watch the rain scene, I will not accompany you anymore!" After saying that, she turned around and walked into the rain.

Shangguan Xuanxi stepped forward to block her, smiled evilly and said: "Hey, don't leave. You disturbed my interest and you just want to leave?"

Mu Zichen put her hands on her chest, raised her chin and looked at the other person casually, asking: "If you don't let me go, what else do you want?"

Shangguan Xuanxi took a step forward, leaned close to her ear, and said softly: "I saved you today, so you have to express your gratitude to me, right?"

Mu Zichen secretly rolled her eyes, hmph, I haven't cared about you breaking the appointment, but you are so shameless that I want to thank you?

After a pause, Mu Zichen smiled faintly and said, "Tell me, how would you like me to thank you, Your Highness? Treat you to a meal? Or?"

Shangguan Xuanxi clicked his tongue twice, "How can you say that I risked my life to save you and Mu Boyan, and Miss Chen'er wants to send me away after just one meal?"

Mu Zichen glanced at the other party and saw that his eyes were always on her. She subconsciously covered her chest, took a step back, and said alertly: "Is it possible that you still want me to commit myself to you?

"

Shangguan Xuanxi looked indifferent, and then hit Mu Zichen on the head with the folding fan in his hand, "Bad girl, what are you thinking about! Is this the kind of man who is blind to the sight of sex?"

"Then why are you staring at me?"

Shangguan Xuanxi felt ashamed for a while, "You and I are the only two people here. If I don't look at you, why should I stare at these flowers and plants and talk?"

Mu Zichen slowly put down her hands. She knew clearly that the other party was quibbling, but she still pretended to ask: "Then tell me, what can I do to repay you for saving my life?"

Shangguan Xuanxi thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his eyes and said, "How about this? I just want to go to Changgan Peak in the east of Nancheng Kingdom for a few days. If Miss Chen'er doesn't mind, she can accompany me."

"Ah?" Mu Zichen blinked and did not recover for a moment, "What did you say...you asked me to accompany you to go sightseeing?"

Shangguan Xuanxi nodded, with a devilish smile on his lips, and said, "How about it? This isn't too much of a request. You don't want to stay in the general's mansion anyway, so you might as well go out with me for a few days.

"

Mu Zichen laughed a few times. For her, as long as she was not allowed to return to the general's mansion, she could go anywhere. But when she thought of Shangguan Hanchi, Mu Zichen instantly lost interest, "Shangguan Xuanxi, you two

Didn’t I say that I want to come and meet you? As an outsider, I don’t seem to be suitable to be around you two brothers."

Shangguan Xuanxi smiled knowingly, leaned down slightly, looked directly into Mu Zichen's eyes, and said, "Don't worry, my second brother won't come."

Mu Zichen was slightly stunned. Shangguan Xuanxi's deep eyes seemed to give her another hallucination. After a long time, she asked calmly: "I remember very clearly. Your second brother said he would come to meet you early this morning.

Rendezvous, why didn’t you come suddenly again?”

Shangguan Xuanxi touched the ring on his finger, stood up straight, and said unhurriedly: "I received a letter from him early this morning. He said that he had just found a new love and wanted to spend more time in Tianshui City.

Wait for some time."

"Huh? New love? Which girl has he fallen in love with?" Mu Zichen asked curiously.

"Who else could it be? It's the eldest lady of your general's palace, Mu Aoxue." Shangguan Xuanxi replied.

"How is this possible?" Mu Zichen couldn't help but laugh. If it were anyone else, she might still believe it, but this Mu Aoxue, who was unreasonable and only caused trouble, found it unbelievable to her, "You

I don’t know, from day to night yesterday, Shangguan Hanchi didn’t even look at her, so how could he like her?”

"How can I know what second brother is thinking? Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. Look at you, you are soaked from head to toe. Let's find a place to change you into clean clothes as soon as possible."

Mu Zichen shook her head, took a step back and said, "But I still want to go to Xiaocheng. I don't want to go anywhere until Xiaocheng is pacified."

Shangguan Xuanxi smiled again, "You don't need to go to Xiaocheng. If my calculation is correct, the soldiers of Xijing Kingdom have basically evacuated by now."

"What did you say? Everyone evacuated?" Mu Zichen looked at the other party with wide eyes.

Shangguan Xuanxi nodded, "An hour ago, I personally went to the capital of Xijing to find the King of Xijing. After drinking and chatting with him for half an hour, he reluctantly agreed to withdraw the troops."

Mu Zichen suddenly realized.

It turns out that Shangguan Xuanxi has been dealing with the withdrawal of troops from Xiaocheng for such a long time, and she actually complained that he didn't come to her because he forgot his promise.

"I'm sorry, I thought you..." Mu Zichen scratched her head in embarrassment.

Shangguan Xuanxi's eyes were deep and mysterious. He stared into Mu Zichen's beautiful eyes and said softly: "Otherwise, where do you think I have been for so long? Even you know that as the prince of Qianling Kingdom, I

I should be obliged to stabilize the situation in the four countries, how could I not know that?"

Hearing Shangguan Xuanxi's words, Mu Zichen was shocked for a moment. What he just said was exactly the same as what she had said in Sichuan City before, "You, how do you know that I said this? Is it possible that you...

Have you been to Sichuan City before?"

Shangguan Xuanxi pulled Mu Zichen in front of him and said in a mysterious manner: "Don't worry about whether I went to Sichuan City or not. I only know that if you don't change clothes, you will catch a cold and get sick."

Seeing the other person's face so close, Mu Zichen's cheeks flushed slightly, "You, why are you so close to me?"

Shangguan Xuanxi smiled and continued to say in his evil voice: "Girl, I only brought an umbrella when I went out. If you don't come closer, I'm afraid both of us will get wet."

Mu Zichen felt ashamed again. The young man in front of her looked nothing like a sixteen-year-old. After a moment of pause, she snatched the umbrella from Shangguan Xuanxi's hand and rushed forward without looking back.

Entering the rain, "Shangguan Xuanxi, if you want to take advantage of me, just say so. You have to find such a high-sounding reason for yourself. Listen, this umbrella belongs to me, you can figure it out yourself."

"Mu Zichen, you... you are simply too domineering!" Shangguan Xuanxi pretended to be angry.

But the other party seemed not to hear him and continued to walk forward. Shangguan Xuanxi frowned slightly and chased after him...
