After a night of tossing, Mu Jinghong's high fever finally subsided, and when he opened his eyes again.

He was covered in large and small knife wounds, and he gasped in pain when he moved slightly, he could only look at her quietly like this, and he couldn't get up to cover her thin body with a quilt.

His gaze inadvertently crossed her wrist, and the touch of red jade fell into his eyes.

Isn't that, in the Yuelao Temple of the Lantern Festival, he gave her a red jade bracelet to ward off evil spirits?

I thought she wouldn't take it seriously, but I didn't expect that she would wear it all the time.

Mu Jinghong's eyes moved slightly, and a warm current flowed in his heart, but he didn't want Ling Jiantong, who was still asleep just now, frowned slightly, and his long eyelashes trembled, he was already inclined to wake up, Mu Jinghong hurriedly looked away, and the panic in his eyes had not yet retreated, and he was seen by Ling Jiantong.

"Ouch, young master, you've finally woken up." Ling Jiantong stretched her waist, got up and walked to his bed, leaned over and reached out to touch his forehead.

Although she had just woken up, her eyes were still bright, and Mu Jinghong looked at her who was close to her without saying a word, and her lips were pursed.

Ling Jiantong probed his forehead again, then nodded with satisfaction: "Well, thank God, your high fever has finally subsided, and it seems that the doctor Situ found is really Hua Tuo alive." ”

Mu Jinghong looked at Ling Jiantong with a happy expression, and slowly spoke, "How did you find me?" ”

It's okay not to mention it, but at this mention, Ling Jiantong's face changed, and he directly changed to a questionable tone: "You are embarrassed to say, how did Situ and I find you?" Why don't you defend the city in Yucheng, what are you doing in the wilderness? What's going on with such a serious injury? ”

Her face was full of doubt, and she stared at Mu Jinghong for a moment.

Mu Jinghong was stunned for a while, his eyes were slightly dim, and he tilted his head: "It's nothing, that night the Dongyi people attacked Yucheng, I was very competitive for a while, and I wanted to catch them all, but who knew that I fell into their trap." ”

"Oh" Ling Jiantong suddenly realized, and then he used his hand to face Mu Jinghong's head, so that he was facing him, and said with a serious lesson: "It's not that I said you, just your three-legged cat's kung fu, self-protection is okay, if you fight to the death with the enemy, you are not an opponent at all, besides, Situ has already arranged, you can defend the city well, but you are reckless, how about in the end, put yourself in, right?" ”

Mu Jinghong's heart tightened, and he was very unconvinced and counterattacked: "Eyes, you are still embarrassed to say me, if you hadn't been good at advocating to save Meng Xueyuan, you wouldn't have become a hostage of the Dongyi people, if it wasn't for the second brother who rescued you in the forest, wouldn't you have also put yourself in?" ”

Ling Jiantong took a breath and wanted to refute it properly, but after thinking about it carefully, Mu Jinghong couldn't find any flaws in what he said.

But......

"No, how do you know that Situ saved me in the forest? Anyway, the place where we found you is also not far from that forest, hey, what a coincidence......" Ling Jiantong touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

Mu Jinghong immediately snorted haha: "This thing is just a coincidence, you are my second brother's woman, isn't it natural for my second brother to save you?" What's there to think about here. ”

Ling Jiantong nodded thoughtfully, and somehow his face flushed: "You don't know, the time when a woman is most tempted by a man is the moment when the hero saves the beauty, since I met Situ, he has helped me, how many times has he saved me, I think about it now, I ...... think about it."

"Whirring ......"

Ling Jiantong glanced at him, hey, why did the guy who was full of energy just now fall asleep in a blink of an eye?

Ling Jiantong's angry eyes flashed, and she was replaced by a somewhat helpless look, she gently helped him tuck the quilt, looked at him for a while, and secretly thought, in the end, he will be a trap for the East Yiren, and he just wants to help Situ defend Yucheng too much, after all, they have a deep brotherhood, but I didn't expect that the unreliable prince who usually looks like a hanger is also brave and fearless on the battlefield, sacrificing himself to kill the enemy, Mu Jinghong, no matter what, thank you, sleep well.

Ling Jiantong sighed lightly, and tiptoed out of the big tent, she didn't notice that the moment she turned around, Mu Jinghong's closed eyes had been opened, he wanted to keep her, but he knew that brothers and wives should not be bullied.

Ling Jiantong walked out of the big tent, and saw a luxurious carriage parked at the gate of Yucheng, and there were more than a dozen guards standing behind the carriage.

Ling Jian's heart sank, and he hurried to Situ Qianchen's tent, but before he could get close, he was stopped by the guards guarding outside the tent with knives.

She raised her eyebrows and stared at their serious faces, which was really strange.

It seems that the people from the capital this time are not small.

Ling Jiantong immediately changed his smiling face, and asked softly: "Seeing that the two eldest brothers don't look like people from the Situ military camp, they are full of nobility and look like they came out of the capital, I don't know if you can tell me, who is your master?" ”

The two guards didn't squint, and they didn't pay attention to Ling Jian's pupils at all.

Ling Jiantong didn't give up and asked two more words, but he didn't expect to be blasted out by them, and Ling Jiantong touched the ash of his nose.

Cut, do you think you can't get out, and your aunt won't pick the window?

Ling Jiantong turned around, found a window on the side of the big tent, and hid there and began to listen to the wall.

In the tent, Situ Qianchen sat in the position of the coach, and sitting on the lower left side, it was the fourth prince Mu Zhen who was drinking tea with a teacup.

The tent was quiet, and it wasn't until Mu Zhen put the teacup on the table that she opened her mouth to break the quiet atmosphere: "General Zhaoyi, I came this time, not for anything else, first, to congratulate the general on his victory over Dongyi, and second, I also want to meet Xue Kite, and take her back to the capital by the way." ”

Mu Zhen just didn't say it, Situ Qianchen also knew it, his cold eyes rolled slightly, and he said without the slightest hesitation: "If it's for the snow kite, then even let the fourth prince run this trip in vain." ”

Mu Hao's eyes narrowed half-narrowed, and her tone became serious: "What? Could it be that to this day, General Zhaoyi still holds on to my beloved concubine? ”

The atmosphere instantly became tense, and the tense smell of gunpowder permeated every corner of the tent.

Whether he will turn his face or not depends on Situ Qianchen's attitude.

Ling Jiantong secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, since the last time she separated from Meng Xueyuan in the Dongyi tribe, she has not had any news of Meng Xueyuan, even if she repelled Dongyi this time, Situ Qianchen will never mention Meng Xueyuan's people.

Now that Mu Zhen has come to ask for someone, I wonder if Situ will openly continue to oppose Mu Zhen in order to protect Meng Xueyuan's freedom?

Seeing that Situ Qianchen didn't answer, Mu Zhen slammed the table and stood up, and snorted coldly: "Situ Qianchen, don't rely on your Situ family to be the founding of the country, and you have the favor of your father, you can ignore no one, let me tell you, if I want to bring you down, it's just a matter of blink of an eye, you'd better get acquainted and hand over Meng Xueyuan to me, otherwise, don't blame me for being polite!" ”

Mu Zhen finally tore through her hypocritical face and openly argued with Situ Qianchen.

But Situ Qianchen raised his eyes slightly, his face was still unfazed, his gaze was cold, cold like a cold knife that could pierce the bones, and without replying a word, he had already crushed the angry Mu Zhen in his aura.

He got up slowly, approaching step by step, Mu Hao's eyes were faint, and he continued to say in a tough tone while retreating: "What are you going to do?" Don't think that when I arrived at your territory, you will have fish and meat, and I will also bring a first-class master! ”

Mu Zhen said this, it was useless, facing Situ Qianchen, who exuded the arrogance of a strong man all over his body, he was weak like an ant that could be pinched to death by Situ Qianchen's fingers at any time.

Mu Zhen couldn't stand it anymore, and was about to call someone in loudly, but before she could speak, she was preempted by Situ Qianchen: "Fourth prince, I think you have misunderstood." ”

"What?" Mu Zhen frowned, a little unable to understand the meaning of his words.

The corners of Situ Qianchen's mouth hooked up with an inadvertent smile, and he replied coolly: "I, Situ Qianchen, never said that I would not return Meng Xueyuan to you." ”

Although Mu Zhen didn't know what medicine was sold in Situ Qianchen's gourd, since he said so, Mu Zhen simply climbed up and said, "Okay, where is Meng Xueyuan?" I want to see her! ”

Situ Qianchen turned his eyes, and the black eagle standing on the side of the tent immediately understood, and after a while, a corpse covered with a white cloth was brought in from the big tent.

Mu Zhen's face was full of doubts, the weather was hot, and there was a foul smell on this corpse, which made him cover his mouth and nose, and hurriedly pointed and asked, "Is this ...... What is it? ”

Situ Qianchen replied calmly: "Isn't this the concubine that the fourth prince has been looking for for a long time?" ”

Mu Hao's eyes were full of astonishment, and her fingers pointing to the corpse trembled a little, and she said in disbelief: "You mean, this corpse is...... Is it a snow kite?! ”

Situ Qianchen stood with his hands in his hands, glanced at the corpse and said, "If the prince doesn't believe it, he can conduct an autopsy himself." ”

Mu Zhen didn't believe that this corpse would be Meng Xueyuan's, he wanted to perform an autopsy, but as soon as his fingers touched the white cloth, he was already disgusted by the stench of disgust.

He could only call the guards and ask him to lift the white cloth, but what he didn't expect to see was a black and charred face!

Mu Zhen frowned, and asked sharply at Situ Qianchen, "How can this be?!" ”

Situ Qianchen replied indifferently: "The snow kite was held hostage by the Dongyi people, I led the soldiers to rescue that night, who knows, the Dongyi people knew that they were invincible, so they tied up the snow kite and wanted to escape, but they didn't admit it, when passing by a deserted temple, there was a fire inexplicably, and when I arrived, the snow kite had already become like this." ”
