Mu Jingrui held Mu Jingyan with one hand, grabbed Shangguan Wanning with the other hand and jumped to dodge.
The quiet and long alley was blocked by masked men holding steel knives at both ends.
The dim moonlight stretched everyone's figures, and the breeze blew gently, lifting his hair and brushing his face.
There are eight people in total.
Mu Jingrui judged from their breath that they were all first-class experts.
He was a little worried that he would scare Shangguan Wanning, but he saw that she was very calm from the corner of his eyes.
Mu Jingrui put down Mu Jingyan and handed it to Shangguan Wanning to take care of it. The coldness in his eyes swept across the men in black.
"Be careful." Shangguan Wanning whispered, and after that, she helped Mu Jingyan walk to the corner beside her.
The handover of weapons, the sword light and the shadow of sabers.
Shangguan Wanning looked at Mu Jingrui's decisive killing with his sword. She seemed to see the God of War who was invincible on the battlefield and made the enemy frightened.
but……
Shangguan Wanning felt uncomfortable.
She could sense that her life trajectory had changed after her rebirth. Although she was still in the control range, she was not sure what would happen in the future.
What if she still can't control or melt Mu Jingrui? She absolutely cannot accept it and watched the tribe members die again.
"Walk."
Mu Jingrui killed eight men in black and walked to Shangguan Wanning with a long sword dripping with blood.
She came to her senses only then.
His robe was covered with blood, his hair was slightly messy, and his murderous aura had not yet subsided.
She is so familiar with him like this.
"Are you okay?"
"It's okay. Other people's blood."
Shangguan Wanning couldn't help but look over there.
Mu Jingrui's figure shook and blocked her vision.
"Stop watching, go."
Shangguan Wanning felt that Mu Jingrui probably wanted to protect the purity of her inner world and did not want her to see too bloody scenes.
"Jing Yan was beaten and must find a doctor to treat her as soon as possible. How do you plan to settle her?"
Mu Jingrui paused, and his eyes gradually dimmed.
He has been demoted to a pariah, and even if he follows the prince now, he cannot change it. How can he protect his sister if he is unable to protect himself?
"The Shangguan family has a house on the outskirts of the city, and there are no people going there on weekdays. There are only a few servants and maids who are guarding and cleaning. I send Jing Yan over first, and then I will make a long-term plan."
Shangguan Wanning pushed Mu Jingrui back without waiting for Mu Jingrui to raise objections.
Mu Jingrui hesitated a little and followed Shangguan Wanning to the house on the outskirts of the city.
They arrived in the middle of the night, catching the servants here off guard.
Shangguan Wanning instructed the servants to prepare hot water and change clothes, and asked the maid to wash Mu Jingyan again, and found a doctor to treat him.
"Her trauma is not too serious, but she is too weak. Fortunately, she has the foundation of kung fu, so if she is an ordinary person, she would have been unable to hold on."
The doctor was also surprised that a weak-looking girl actually had such a strong will to survive.
"But, the erythema on her face...I can't think of the reason for the time being."
"It doesn't matter, let's find a way. If you have time, you can do it." Shangguan Wanning asked the servant to send the doctor out and gave him a reward of silver to seal his mouth.
Mu Jingrui walked to the window and looked at his unconscious sister and sighed heavily.
"It seems... I have to find another doctor..."
"No. She is just allergic and will be fine in a few days." Shangguan Wanning smiled and looked at Mu Jingrui and joked, "You are still the eldest brother who grew up with her. Don't you know, Jing Yan eats it.
Will peaches be allergic?”
"She ate peaches? How do you know?"
"A place like Yingchun Tower is a rich and rich treasure cave, and no one is insatiable." I was also afraid that the madam would not let him go, so just in case, I bought some girls in advance and ate peaches for Jing Yan.
But I didn't expect that she was so strong that she actually..."
Mu Jingrui suddenly realized that he actually didn't understand Shangguan Wanning.
Looking back now, she made such a big noise in Yingchun Tower, in addition to teaching Zhao Xu a lesson, she also attracted other people's attention.
Just like that day she asked Lu Tong to send him a letter to pick him up, but she encountered Xiao Yujue being assassinated. It seemed that she had calculated accurately every step.
Such scheming is probably beyond the reach of men.
"You were tired for one night too. I asked the servants to prepare a change of clothes for you, so why not go first..."
"Why help me?"
Mu Jingrui's gaze turned from his sister to Shangguan Wanning, with suspicion and inquiry, deep as if a pool of stagnant water, which was so cold that it made people tremble.
"Shouldn't I... shouldn't help you?"
Shangguan Wanning thought of the scene when she was obsessed with the ghost in her previous life and was in trouble at the Mu family. When Mu Jingrui came to propose marriage, she cried and made a fuss and refused to marry. It is no wonder Mu Jingrui had some doubts about her.
"If there is no, shouldn't it be... You didn't want to marry me, let alone now..."
"But the engagement between you and me is not officially cancelled. I still keep the hairpin your mother gave me, it is our token."
Shangguan Wanning's attitude was too big, and Mu Jingrui was still unable to let go.
He was originally a suspicious person. In order to dispel his doubts, Shangguan Wanning took a few steps forward and pulled his sleeves.
"Do you remember the night I was kidnapped by the kidnappers?"
Some pictures that made him blush involuntarily emerged in Mu Jingrui's mind.
At that time, she held him, called his name, and...
Thinking about it now, he was still hot all over.
"When I was in danger, you protected me and saved me. You saved me. You saved me, so I want to repay you as a favor. As for our engagement..."
Shangguan Wanning didn't know whether she had ever loved Mu Jingrui. After all, her experience in her previous life made her unable to look back.
"No matter what, you saved Jing Yan, our Mu family owe you a kindness. I will repay you if you have the chance in the future."
Shangguan Wanning breathed a sigh of relief.
With this friendship, if something happens in the future that she cannot control, at least it will make Mu Jingrui have some thoughts.
"I want to go back before dawn, otherwise it will be deemed." Shangguan Wanning looked at the night outside the window, as if she was thinking.
Before leaving, she instructed her servants to take good care of Mu Jingyan.
Mu Jingrui escorted Shangguan Wanning back to the city. When he arrived at the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shangguan Wanning pushed the door, but it didn't move at all.
"What's wrong?" Mu Jingrui saw that Shangguan Wanning's face changed slightly.
"What might have happened. Lutong didn't leave a door for me."
Mu Jingrui stared at the door for a while and said softly: "There are people behind the door."
Shangguan Wanning's eyebrows were instantly locked.
"It seems... I was discovered that I went out secretly." A cold light flashed in Shangguan Wanning's eyes. She grabbed Mu Jingrui's wrist and said, "Can you help me?"
