Qin Yuanyi looked down at her frightened expression and said, "I came to see if you were asleep. It's a bit cold at night, so I brought you a blanket. Did you get scared?"

Qin Yuanyi was still holding a tiger-skin blanket in his hand. Mu Chu was leaning half of his body on Qin Yuanyi. When he realized what was happening, he immediately stood up, took two steps back awkwardly, and said with a red face, "I'm fine."

Qin Yuanyi walked to the table, lit the oil lamp, and spread a blanket for her. Mu Chu saw blood on his hands, which were where he had been stabbed just now, and felt even more guilty.

"Uncle, let me bandage your hand," he said as he went to get the medicine.

Qin Yuanyi glanced at his hand, as if it wasn't his own: "It's okay, just a minor injury. Come and sleep. I'll watch you sleep."

Mu Chu insisted on wrapping his hands.

After lying down, Qin Yuanyi covered her with a blanket and sat beside the bed, looking at her: "Go to sleep, I will leave after you fall asleep."

Mu Chuli felt warm. She was frightened just now and had no desire to sleep. The shadow left by her past life was too great. But she thought that he was already so tired and she still wanted to torment him, so she pretended to be asleep.

I don’t know if it’s because my acting is bad or what, but Mu Chu feels like he has been pretending to sleep for a long time, but Qin Yuanyi has never left.

Later, she couldn't pretend anymore, so Mu Chu secretly opened her eyes, only to find Qin Yuanyi sitting beside her and sleeping on the edge of the bed. Mu Chu felt extremely guilty, so she got up and pushed him steadily to the edge of the bed, then lay down slowly, gently covered him with a quilt, and then lay down next to him.

Looking at his long eyelashes and angular facial features, Mu Chu felt secretly delighted.

She had never been so close to a man before. She could feel his body temperature and his steady breathing. Mu Chu fell asleep with a feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

When he woke up early in the morning, there was no one beside him. If there wasn't a human-shaped mark beside him, Mu Chu would have suspected that everything that happened yesterday was a dream.

Mu Chu got up, washed and went to change the bandages for the wounded soldiers. He listened to them talking about how brave Qin Yuanyi was last night. He sneaked into the enemy's camp alone and killed the enemy's deputy general. He also burned the enemy's food supplies. The enemy was unable to counterattack for a while. Mu Chu felt secretly proud in his heart.

After dinner in the evening, Qin Yuanyi asked Mu Chu to sleep in his room again. Mu Chu did not refuse. For some reason, he could only sleep peacefully in his room.

When Xiaotao was around, I never felt it was so scary. Now, when I go back to the tent alone, I am always too scared to sleep. I always remember the feeling of my stepfather’s son sneaking into the dark in my previous life.

Two days later, Wang Xing came back and reported to Qin Yuanyi: "Sir, we found a wounded soldier in a nearby farmer's house. According to him, someone did shoot an arrow at them. When they followed General Qin to Meihuipo, General Qin had already realized that it was a trap. When he ordered a retreat, he was suddenly shot from behind.

Being attacked from both sides, he had no time to retreat and was forced to continue fighting. He sent a message for help to Xu Zhiping as soon as possible, but they did not arrive for a long time. The general knew that something must have gone wrong and had to take the risk to send a message to the capital.

Later, General Qin knew that he would surely die, and hoped to attract the emperor's attention in this way, hoping that his death could save the 150,000 troops in the southwest.

I checked carefully. Actually, there is nothing worth occupying in Meihuipo. It's just that the terrain here is suitable for ambush. They have cleared it very well. We searched the area and only found this."

Wang Xing took out a yellow jade pendant and said, "It's just that this thing is too common, there's no way to confirm its identity."

Qin Yuanyi took it and looked at it: "This pattern looks like it came from our Jinfeng. Send someone to the capital to investigate it carefully. But this at least proves that the person behind it is not Nan Xiao."
