Under the sky, Yan Yun and Mu Lan were riding horses together. They hurried under the blue sky like lovers.
"How far can we go? Yun." Mu Lan looked at Yan Yun and asked the question she wanted to ask the most.
"Mulan, the road always has an end. There's nothing that won't end."
"Yun, are you afraid? Were they afraid that this path would continue forever? You want to go home, right?" Mu Lan's words were so straightforward.
"Mulan, don't be like this, okay? I'll be sad if you do this." Yan Yun had always been avoiding this topic.
"Yun, look at the beautiful scenery." Mu Lan smiled bitterly. This was a problem between the three of them. But he had to face it eventually. Now that he chose to run away, what about her? What should he do?
"Mulan, return to my courtyard. I've already settled everything. Alright?" Mu Lan was still an adult, so he followed her wishes.
"Yes, alright." Mu Lan didn't say anything.
The two of them continued on their way back in silence. They did not say anything because they did not know what to say.
"Be careful. Someone is following us." Suddenly, Yan Yun looked around warily and said to Mu Lan.
"Yun, we haven't seen each other for a few months. You don't believe in our strength anymore? Or have we not worked together for too long?”A frivolous smile hung on Mu Lan's lips.
"You're always like this. There are ten people here today. Hehe, they really think too highly of us.”Yan Yun said to Mu Lan after sweeping his gaze around.
"Yun, this is the same group of people who attacked me in Desert City. I can feel their aura, but I can't guess why they're targeting me.”Yes, Mu Lan had met everyone in the desert city, but in order to not let him worry, she had told her foster mother that she was only here to lure him to find her. In Mu Lan's eyes, his life was more important than his own.
"Mulan, did you really encounter an assassin? Then why did you lie to me?"
"I just didn't want you to worry. Yun, be careful." Mu Lan reminded Yan Yun as he spoke. A masked man in black rushed out from the side of the forest and charged at Yan Yun with a sharp blade in his hand.
Yan Yun jumped up and took out a flexible sword from his bosom to stab at the person's chest. He knew that there were ten people coming, so he had to reduce the time to fight.
The first assassin fell to the ground, and the remaining nine rushed out together. However, Mu Lan and Yan Yun calmly responded.
"Mulan, be careful.”Yan Yun reminded Mu Lan.
"Yes, I know. You too." The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They had such a tacit understanding.
The intense battle would not affect their emotions. They would always occasionally turn their heads to look at each other to see if it was safe.
……
In a short while, they had dealt with everyone. He looked at the ten corpses on the ground. Yan Yun crouched down and searched for something that might have been left behind among the group of black-clothed people. However, he found nothing.
"Yun, it's nothing. This group of people is just a warning. They will come out again."
"As long as I don't find out, I will be worried about your safety. I'll tell Ruo 'er. She'll understand.”
"We'll talk when we get there." Mu Lan didn't say anything. She just looked at the corpses and thought.
"Let's go, Mulan."
"Yes, alright."
The two of them mounted their horses and continued forward. The road back to the Fire Country was getting closer and closer, but what else would they encounter? No one knew.
He just continued to move forward. There were still many things to deal with when he returned. Perhaps it was even more troublesome than these assassins.
……
The Fifth Prince's Residence…
"Xiaolan, go and tell the servants that I'm going out. I want more people to know that I'm going out.”Qingqing said to Xiaolan.
"Miss, the Fifth Prince will not agree.”The servant girl said helplessly.
"It's fine. Just go and prepare. Let everyone know that I'm going out.”
"Miss, this servant doesn't understand."
"Just do as I say. I'll handle the rest. You go."
"Yes, this servant will go down."
Xiao Lan retreated helplessly. Miss had given her a difficult problem. What should she do? He really didn't know what to do.
Qingqing sat in front of the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror. I must repay Yu. Yu, wait for me. Wait for me. I will accompany you.
