"So beautiful…"
Being hugged by Lu Lingqi, Mu Lin could clearly see her exquisite face. He couldn't help but exclaim in his heart at the greatness of the Creator. Lu Lingqi's appearance was truly impeccable. It wasn't that Mu Lin had never seen beautiful women before. When he was on Earth, he had seen many celebrities and models. However, compared to Lu Lingqi, those female celebrities and models paled in comparison. That face without makeup was pure and refined. This was the true natural beauty.
Everyone loved beauty, and Mu Lin was no exception. Of course, Mu Lin would be lying to himself if he said he didn't have any Xi Xie thoughts about Lu Lingqi's beauty.
Although he had evil thoughts, Mu Lin admired Lu Lingqi more. He admired beautiful things.
At this moment, Mu Lin finally understood what it meant to be in pain and happy at the same time.
Although he was heavily injured, he was being hugged by a top-grade beauty. The fragrance that belonged to a young girl continuously entered his nose, seeping into his heart.
"Hmm?"
As a top-notch general with a combat strength of 89 points, Lu Lingqi's senses were naturally very sharp. She could sense Mu Lin's gaze on her. She had felt this gaze too many times. Most of the people who looked at her with this gaze were people who had 'strange' thoughts about her. She frowned slightly, instinctively feeling disgusted by this gaze.
When Lu Lingqi looked at the young man in her arms, she was stunned.
When Lu Lingqi looked at Mu Lin, Mu Lin was also looking at her. What made Lu Lingqi slightly stunned was…Mu Lin's gaze.
Lu Lingqi didn't see any " disgusting " impurities in Mu Lin's eyes. His gaze was very clear, as if he wasn't looking at her, but was admiring a perfect piece of jade. There was only admiration and no " disgusting " impurities.
Slowly, Lu Lingqi's hatred for Mu Lin disappeared under his clear gaze.
Lu Lingqi didn't dislike this kind of gaze.
This young man was different from those disgusting fellows.
At this moment, Lu Lingqi heaved a deep sigh of relief.
In Lu Lingqi's subconscious mind, she still didn't want the person who dared to rush out and block the fatal arrow for her to be a lecherous thief who coveted her beauty.
When she saw Mu Lin's gaze, Lu Lingqi was relieved.
Lu Lingqi believed that a person's eyes were the most honest and would not lie. A person's eyes often revealed their inner thoughts.
"I haven't thanked you yet. Thank you for blocking that arrow for me. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Lu Lingqi thanked him sincerely.
If he had been the one who had been hit by the crimson arrow, the consequences would have been unimaginable. His life and death were secondary, but the safety of Xiapi City…
He had personally promised his father that Xiapi City would remain the same when he returned. If Xiapi City fell, even if Lü Lingqi was still alive, she would not have the face to see Lü Bu. Therefore, the arrow that Mu Lin had blocked for her was of great significance. This was also why Lü Lingqi was so concerned about Mu Lin.
Lu Lingqi didn't ask how Mu Lin had blocked the arrow with his frail body.
Who didn't have some secrets of their own?
"No…"
"Don't talk!"
Lu Lingqi covered Mu Lin's lips with her fair hands. She shook her head gently, indicating for Mu Lin to keep quiet.
After struggling for a moment, Mu Lin quickly calmed down. She knew that Lu Lingqi was worried that her wound would continue to worsen.
" If you have anything to say, we can talk about it after you've recovered. We'll be arriving at Xiapi City soon."
Lu Lingqi looked up at the city projection not far away.
The outline of the city was Xiapi City.
At this moment, many bonfires were erected on the outskirts of Xiapi City. Tents had appeared on the ground outside of Xiapi City. On the flagpoles of the countless tents, flags with the word " Cao " engraved on them fluttered in the wind. It was very eye-catching.
That was Cao Cao's army.
At this moment, Cao Cao's army did not attack Xiapi City. Instead, they set up camp outside Xiapi City, as if they were waiting for something.
Riding on the fiery red rabbit, Lu Lingqi did not go to any of the four city gates of Xiapi City. Instead, she rode the red rabbit to a hidden city wall of Xiapi City.
Cao Cao's army had practically sealed off all four gates of Xiapi City. It was impossible to enter through the four gates. To an ordinary person, the city wall was definitely an ordinary barrier that was difficult to cross.
However, for Lu Lingqi, crossing the city wall was as easy as eating and drinking. Moreover, the warhorse that Lu Lingqi was riding was the famous Red Rabbit.
"Charge!"
With a cold shout, the Red Hare Horse seemed to have received an order. It suddenly increased its speed, and like a fiery red nightmare, it quickly rushed towards the city wall.
"Bang!"
When they were only ten meters away from the city wall, Red Rabbit stomped on the ground. The huge warhorse carried Lu Lingqi and Mu Lin and leaped high into the air, easily leaping over the nearly ten-meter-tall city wall! Mu Lin, who was in Lu Lingqi's arms, felt as if he was flying. Everything around him was moving downwards, and in the end, he could only see the gray sky.
"Ah…"
For some reason, Mu Lin didn't sway much, and his wounds didn't continue to open. However, Mu Lin still felt a strong sense of sleepiness assaulting his consciousness. Before Mu Lin could say anything, he had completely fainted.
Mu Lin had no idea what was happening around him. He only knew that he had lost consciousness the moment Red Rabbit landed on the ground.
……
When Mu Lin woke up, he realized that he was no longer in Lu Lingqi's embrace. Instead, he was lying in a quiet room. The faint scent of sandalwood entered his nose, revealing a special charm that only existed in ancient times.
" Young Master, you're awake!"
Mu Lin sat up and checked the injuries in his body. When he found that he had completely recovered, he heaved a sigh of relief.
As for the person who was talking to him, it was a young maidservant in the house. She looked quite delicate and pretty.
"How long have I been asleep?"
Mu Lin asked as he shook his aching body.
" Young Master, you were unconscious for half a day. The physician has already examined you. Although it's nothing serious, you still need to recuperate for half a month." The delicate maidservant also looked at Mu Lin with a puzzled expression. Logically speaking, with such a serious injury, he would not wake up without a day or two. Moreover, from the look on Mu Lin's face, he did not seem to be injured at all. Could it be that the physician's diagnosis was wrong?
That shouldn't be…The little servant girl had seen with her own eyes the shocking wound on Mu Lin's chest when he had been seriously injured. He had almost been pierced through the chest by an arrow. How could such an injury heal so easily?
Ignoring the servant girl's strange gaze, Mu Lin stood up from the bed.
"Young Master, don't…"
Seeing Mu Lin get up, the servant girl was shocked and hurriedly prepared to stop him. However, when she realized that Mu Lin could already move his muscles and bones at will, her small mouth was slightly agape, and her eyes revealed shock…
It had only been half a day since he had suffered such a serious injury. The doctor had said that he would not wake up for two to three days. Moreover, if he wanted to get out of bed and walk, he would have to wait at least two weeks. It would take more than half a month for him to recover. This was a conservative estimate…But now…he was jumping around in front of him…What was this?
"What?"
Mu Lin turned his head suspiciously. He did not hear what the little servant girl had said.
"No…nothing."
Suppressing the shock in her heart, the servant girl shook her head like a rattle-drum. With Mu Lin's current situation, the words that the servant girl had prepared were meaningless.
"Where's General Lu Lingqi?" Mu Lin asked when he didn't see Lu Lingqi.
"The general has already gone to take charge of important matters in the city. Before the general left, he asked this servant to bring a message to the young master. She said that you should recuperate well. If she is free, she will come to visit you."
"I see…"
Mu Lin more or less understood the situation in Xiapi City. Facing Cao Cao's army, which had far more soldiers than Lu Bu's army, Lu Lingqi naturally did not dare to be negligent. This battle was of utmost importance. Whether or not Xiapi City could be defended depended on the upcoming battle.
Of course, based on the current situation, the probability of Lu Bu's army defending Xiapi City was less than 20%... and that was under the leadership of Lu Lingqi.
If not for Lü Lingqi, the chances of Lü Bu's army holding on to the city would not have exceeded one to two percent…This was not an exaggeration. The total strength of Cao Cao's army was four to five times that of Lü Bu's army, and there were several generals in Cao Cao's army. Looking at Lü Bu's army, other than Lü Lingqi, there were almost no other generals that could be used. Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and the others had already left Xiapi City with Lü Bu. Therefore, Lu Lingqi's ability to increase the probability of success from less than 1% to 20% was already impressive.
" A 20% probability is still very low…One in five…"
He shook his head. If he had joined, the probability would have risen to 50% or even higher.
Mu Lin knew that with his current strength, it was unrealistic to help Lu Lingqi defend Xiapi City. What could a little ability value do? Mu Lin knew his limits.
Since martial strength was not enough, he could only rely on schemes and the divine system.
With the help of the God System and his own plan, not only could he defeat the Cao army, but it was also possible to wipe them out.
"God System, cooperate with me. I have a plan, but I need your cooperation. After this battle, I will obtain a large number of points."
"I want half!"
These four simple words had already expressed the position of the God System.
He could ask for its help, but the price he had to pay was half of all the points he would get later!
"You're asking for too much!"
Mu Lin roared at the God System in his heart.
"If you have my help, you will definitely win this battle. You will definitely make a profit."
the Divine System said calmly.
