Lu Huan's cold eyes finally lit up after hearing this. "That's true."

Su Qian looked at the scar on his earlobe and asked him, "What happened after you entered the fire scene that day?"

He was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Su Qian to take the initiative to care about him. "He was slightly injured, but it's nothing serious."

In fact, of course, it was not as easy as he said, but he did not want her to know, nor did he want her to worry.

"Your mother's tablet..."

Lu Huan: "The tablet was rescued... but part of it was burned by the fire."

He thought, after all, he was useless.

He failed to save his mother's tablet, nor could he save Su Qian.

He lost everything, but luckily, Su Qian came back.

The two of them sat in front of the table in silence. After a long while, Lu Huan put down his spoon without touching a single bite of the porridge.

"Come with me."

Su Qian said "hmm" lightly. At this moment, although she didn't want to leave, she had to leave.

She no longer had a mission, so there was no need for her to get close to Lu Huan. But if she didn't leave, Lu Huan would definitely vent his anger on Zhang Rui.

So, she had to go.

She hadn't figured it out for a while. Although there was no fatal person restraining her, the war between Nanchang and Fengyuan was not over yet...

This matter was caused by her. If she hides in the dark and does not come out, it would be against the will of heaven and earth.

So, she had to go.

Lu Huan came to her side, took her hand without saying anything, and pulled her towards the door with some force.

It was already dark and every household had lit up their lights. Dinner time was usually the busiest time in the whole village, but at this moment it was exceptionally quiet.

Su Qian walked to the door and saw the black-armored soldiers surrounding the courtyard. Only then did she understand what was going on.

At this time, Zhang Rui had a piece of silk cloth stuffed in his mouth. Because he was struggling and uttering disrespectful words, Zhong Wei ordered someone to cover his mouth.

He saw the tall man who was cold but majestic before, holding a sword in one hand and holding Su Qian's hand in the other, and the two of them walked out side by side. He was so shocked that his eyes widened and he kept yelling.

Lu Huan glanced at him coldly, "Noisy."

Zhong Wei observed Lu Huan's expression. Based on his understanding of Lu Huan over the years, he knew that Lu Huan must want this person to shut up completely.

Just as he was about to make a move, he heard Su Qian say, "Brother Rui is an honest and kind person. He was the one who saved me when I was in the mountains before."

She turned to look at Lu Huan, but didn't say what was in her mind, "So, I think..."

How could Lu Huan not understand what she meant? She wanted to save his life and ask for some reward for him.

Lu Huan suppressed the jealousy in her heart, and the man lived with her under the same roof for a few days.

But he couldn't punish or blame anyone, which was really frustrating.

He exhaled heavily and said depressedly, "Give me a thousand taels of silver and a hundred acres of land."

"You are not allowed to leave Li'an City for the rest of your life." Lu Huan left a cold remark and pulled Su Qian towards the carriage at the entrance of the village, leaving Zhang Rui with only their backs accompanying them.

Zhang Rui's anxiety turned into confusion and helplessness. This emotion was hard to describe and explain.

Isn't she... a wanted criminal?

Why would such a powerful person go to such great lengths to come to this small mountain village to look for her?

Zhang Rui could see the dissatisfaction and jealousy in Lu Huan's eyes, but for her sake, that man not only did not kill him, but also rewarded him.

And these money and land are enough for him to have food and clothing for the rest of his life.

These were the rewards given to him by the man, but also the punishment, the punishment that prevented him from leaving Li'an City for the rest of his life.

……

Lu Huan came on horseback, and there were no carriages here, so Su Qian had to ride with him.

Su Qian felt a little uncomfortable sitting on the horse and tried to keep some distance from him, but Lu Huan would not let her. He loosened one of his hands that was holding the reins, pressed on her lower abdomen, and pressed her against his chest.

"Don't move!" The calm and familiar voice contained a command that could not be resisted.

"Be careful not to fall."

This sentence really had a great deterrent effect on Su Qian. After all, it was because she fell off her horse that she came to this era.

Seeing that she stopped moving, Lu Huan squeezed his horse's belly tightly and rode towards the direction of Li'an City...

The sound of horses' footsteps came one after another behind him, but Su Qian sighed in his heart.

She seemed to have entered a vicious circle. Something in the dark led her to this era, and she kept entangled with the two of them.

Her arrival added to the already turbulent times, with more wars and disasters.

Maybe she is not a goddess at all, but the witch they are talking about.

When the witch appears, disaster will happen...

The horse ran very fast, but it took more than half an hour to reach Li'an City. Lu Huan jumped off the horse swiftly, then stretched out his hands to hold her down from the horse's waist.

Su Qian felt dizzy from the bumpy ride. Before the dizziness in her eyes could disappear, Lu Huan picked her up horizontally.

It was very cold in winter, so Lu Huan wrapped her head in his black mink coat and took her to the best inn in Li'an City.

When the black cloak was removed from her eyes, she could see the surrounding environment clearly. "Inn?"

Lu Huan looked at her steadily with his black eyes, as if Su Qian would disappear as soon as he looked away.

"Well, have a good rest for the night and leave with me tomorrow."

Even though he has changed his identity now, he still calls himself "me" in front of Su Qian.

Su Qian: "Where are you taking me?"

Su Qian saw a hint of anxiety in Lu Huan's eyes.

Lu Huan said, "Although I don't want you to see Yan Xuanye, I will always be worried if I don't bring you with me."

"I was negligent last time." Lu Huan held her hand tightly, "From now on, you must stay by my side every day and not leave even a step."

There was a kind of paranoia in his vigilance, which frightened Su Qian. She felt that things were beginning to develop in a direction that she could not control.

"What's wrong? I always feel that... you are a little unhappy." His big hand gently stroked Su Qian's cheek, but the coolness of his palm made Su Qian tremble.

Su Qian: "I want to ask you, what is the situation outside now?"

Lu Huan thought she wanted him to speed up, "Don't worry, I will do what I promised you."

"Perhaps you have guessed it. Now... I am the new emperor of Nanchang State."

Su Qian nodded: "They said that His Majesty is a man of both civil and military talents, and that His Majesty's father was a founding general. I guessed it then."

Lu Huan suddenly smiled, "You are a smart one."

Su Qian: "Then how did you ascend to the throne?"
