Shangguan Wan Ning saw the man about to pounce on her, closed her eyes and prepared to bite her tongue and commit suicide.
"ah!"
Several shrill screams pierced the silence of the night sky. Before Shangguan Wan Ning could react, she felt warm liquid spraying on her face and hands.
She looked closely and saw that it was all scarlet blood.
Those who were staring at her eagerly fell down one after another at this moment.
Shangguan Wan Ning looked back and saw a group of archers stringing their bows, and several galloping horses getting closer and closer to her.
That's from the Central Plains.
Shangguan Wan Ning's eyes filled with excitement. She ignored the pain in her body and managed to get up and ran towards the opposite side.
"Don't shoot your arrows, I'm from the Central Plains..." Shangguan Wanning was worried that her soldier's uniform might cause misunderstanding, so she shouted as she ran.
Mu Jingrui, who was about to leave, trembled when he heard the voice.
He jumped up and got off the horse, turned over a few times in the air and arrived in front of Shangguan Wan Ning.
"Ning'er?"
Shangguan Wan Ning raised her eyes and looked at Mu Jingrui, surprised and happy. She held Mu Jingrui's arm tightly.
"You...why did you come here? If it's a little later, then I..."
Shangguan Wan Ning's physical strength had reached its limit. At this moment, her spirit relaxed and she fainted as soon as her vision went dark.
"Ning'er?"
Mu Jingrui's face suddenly changed with fright, and he hurriedly picked up Shangguan Wan Ning and ordered: "Set up camp on the spot."
He looked at Shangguan Wan Ning lying in his arms, and his heart was mostly relieved.
In order to find her, he literally traveled dozens of miles around.
In a daze, Shangguan Wan Ning felt a stream of clear water slowly seeping into her mouth.
She was very thirsty and sucked greedily.
Then, warmth began to flow through my body, as if a warm spring breeze was blowing across my cheeks.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself lying in the military tent, covered with a warm and thick cloak.
"woke up?"
Shangguan Wan Ning saw Mu Jingrui sitting next to her. When she looked at him, she felt as if she was in another world.
"Am I...still alive?"
Mu Jingrui frowned slightly, feeling frightened when he thought of her so willfully breaking into Wu Xiong's camp.
"If there is a next time, you will definitely not survive."
Shangguan Wan Ning was completely relaxed at this moment. Many fragments flashed through her mind.
These experiences were completely unavailable in my previous life.
She glanced at Mu Jingrui, who had a calm gaze, sneered, and said, "Don't worry, General Mu, there will never be a next time. Even if there is, you won't be needed to save him."
Mu Jingrui was speechless for a moment.
He could feel the indifference and anger in Shangguan Wan Ning's tone. He originally just wanted to make a joke, but he didn't expect...
Mu Jingrui thought about the day Shangguan Wan Ning saw him and Princess Xianyue in the same room.
"Ning'er, there's something I want to tell you clearly."
Shangguan Wan Ning turned her head to the side. "If you want to break off the engagement with me, come to my house and talk to my father when you get back. Don't worry, our Shangguan family will not stalk you."
"Disband the engagement?" Mu Jingrui couldn't help crying or laughing, "Shangguan Wan Ning, you have a beautiful idea."
Mu Jingrui stretched out his hand to turn Shangguan Wan Ning's face back, and said seriously: "Princess Crescent Moon and I have a cooperative relationship, and it's definitely not what you think. Don't be so boring and jealous."
"Who is jealous?" Shangguan Wan Ning denied angrily, "What is the relationship between you two and what does it have to do with me?"
Shangguan Wan Ning didn't want to admit the little thoughts in his heart. Seeing Mu Jingrui's disbelief, he became even more angry and kicked him.
"ah!"
Shangguan Wan Ning forgot about her sprained foot and kicked her out. Not only did she not hurt Mu Jingrui, she gasped in pain and turned pale.
Mu Jingrui grabbed her ankle and scolded her gently: "You are injured and you are still restless?"
Shangguan Wan Ning suddenly blushed with embarrassment.
She wanted to pull her foot back, but Mu Jingrui had no intention of letting go, but gently rubbed her slightly swollen area.
His palms were warm, and the warmth in his palms seemed to be transmitted into her heart.
Shangguan Wan Ning calmed down, her heart pounding non-stop.
"Is it better?" Mu Jingrui asked softly.
Shangguan Wan Ning's cheeks became even hotter and she said softly: "I... I'm actually fine. Please let me go."
Mu Jingrui's heart also felt ripples. He was afraid that he could not control himself, so he had to let go and cover Shangguan Wan Ning with her clothes again.
"Don't think so wildly. Princess Crescent Moon and I really have nothing to do with each other. I didn't tear off her clothes in the woodshed, I just wanted to see the tattoo on her arm to confirm her identity."
"oh."
Shangguan Wan Ning lowered her head and responded. Her mind was now blank and she had no ability to think at all.
"You rest for a while, and I will get you some food. In the afternoon, we will go back. Just hold on, and I will find a doctor for you to take a closer look when we return to the city."
Mu Jingrui's broad palm covered Shangguan Wan Ning's cheek. Such doting eyes and movements made Shangguan Wan Ning nostalgic.
Mu Jingrui let Shangguan Wan Ning rest for the whole morning and then took her back.
Although this battle was a complete victory, there are still a lot of things to deal with in the aftermath.
When Mu Jingrui returned to the border city, the situation was much more orderly than he imagined.
His left and right vanguards have rescued the trapped people and are discussing how to resettle them.
Princess Xianyue and Yunqiao, along with Wu Xiong's soldiers and horses, were stationed outside the city, waiting to negotiate peace with the Central Plains.
What he has to deal with right now is Ji Kuo and his generals, as well as the tens of thousands of captured soldiers from the Goshawk Kingdom.
Mu Jingrui organized everything into a memorial and sent it to Xiao Yujue overnight.
Next, all that's left is to wait.
Finally, I have a little free time.
After Mu Jingrui finished handling the official documents, he went to the back room to find Shangguan Wan Ning. He turned around the corridor and saw Shangguan Wan Ning and Mu Jing Yan gesticulating something in the yard.
"Oh, no, that's not how it works." Mu Jingyan corrected Shangguan Wan Ning's gesture, "You have to punch hard, not softly. If you do what you just did, you can only hit my brother."
Shangguan Wan Ning was stunned. "What do you mean? Your brother... is so inexperienced?"
Mu Jingyan burst out laughing.
"What I mean is that you will inevitably punch lightly, and people will think you are acting coquettishly."
Shangguan Wan Ning's face turned red.
"I asked you to teach me self-defense, not to laugh at me."
Mu Jingyan said with a smile: "I don't have the ability to teach you, you'd better... hire someone else."
After saying that, he pointed his finger at Mu Jingrui, who was standing not far away.
