Jia Cheng walked past him and said, "Why don't you go and accept your punishment? What are you doing standing here?"

Maureen pushed him aside and said, "Leave me alone."

Jia Cheng chuckled and ran towards the execution ground. If he had been half a step later, the girl would have been killed.

Mo Lin came in reluctantly, but Gu Xingyan didn't even raise his head and continued to have breakfast.

"Lord, master."

"explain."

Morin took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to persuade: "Master, General King Ava is not called the God of War for nothing. The war is imminent, you, you'd better keep yourself clean. How can a woman enter the barracks?"

Gu Xingyan didn't even lift his eyelids.

Maureen stood there with her head down, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Your Majesty, I just want to advise you to take care of yourself. Although His Majesty has issued an order that women can join the army, we don't know when the Zhao army will attack us. If a woman enters the barracks at this moment, it will easily affect the mood of the soldiers."

The master just killed two generals who violated military regulations and laws yesterday.

Gu Xingyan rubbed his brows and said, "Twenty lashes. Remember that. Once the battle is over, let Jia Cheng carry out the execution."

Jia Cheng had just led his people in by lifting the curtain when he heard these words, and his eyebrows twitched.

"Master, the people are here."

Gu Xingyan raised his eyelids nonchalantly, and the next moment he jumped up from the chair, his face full of disbelief.

He could hardly speak. He just stood there motionless, looking at the girl who was so thin that she looked unrecognizable standing in front of him.

Li Shuangwan took off her veil and smiled at the man who looked like a fool: "Gu Xingyan, I come to see you again."

Mo Lin's eyes widened suddenly: "Are you the girl that the master picked up at the city gate that day?"

Li Shuangwan nodded at him: "Master Mo Lin, hello."

Mo Lin blushed when he was called "sir", but when he saw the woman in front of him who had become half-human, half-ghost, he also felt sorry for her.

"Oh my God, girl, did you get robbed? How come you look like this after not seeing you for a month?"

Jia Cheng was also shocked. He thought it couldn't be her, but it turned out to be her. He didn't know what had happened in the past month to make her look like this.

But thinking that the master should be more anxious to know what happened than them, he hurriedly pulled Mo Lin and said, "Why do you have so many questions? Let's go."

Inside the commander's tent, Li Shuangwan quietly looked at the stunned man. How come this man still looked like this when he saw her after not seeing her for a month?

"You, why are you here? Aren't you in Mushan?"

"I have finished the business at Mushan. On my way back to Sijiucheng, I heard that Zhaoguo was attacking. I also knew that you had led troops to Yongzhou, so I turned around and came here."

"Didn't I ask Wenbo to take you back to Duke Shu's Mansion first?"

"Hongshuang went for me." She mustered up her courage, took a step forward, pursed her lips, and said, "Xingyan, Awa is quite powerful. We must not underestimate him at all."

Gu Xingyan only heard her call him "Xingyan" and didn't hear a word of what she said afterwards. He stared at her blankly: "Oh, okay."

When I saw her in Sijiu City a month ago, I noticed that she was much thinner than when she was in Shengjing City.

But when I looked at him today, I found that he was completely out of shape, and his face and forehead were covered with cracks from constant exposure to wind and sun.

Looking at her hands again, there were several hideous scars on the back of her hands. My heart ached: "You, how did you become like this? What happened?"

Li Shuangwan raised the package on his back and said, "I found the Blue Moon Spiritual Sophora japonica, plus the Blue Sea Scrophulariaceae and Purple Mist Magic Orchid in Chen Ping's hands. Xingyan, I have found three of the four herbs, and the only one missing is the Netherworld Ghost Kui. Don't worry, I will find it."

I will never let you suffer from the poison of the secret guard in your previous life again.

"Didn't you see the letter I wrote to you?"

"What letter?"

"Let Wenbo bring it to you."

"It's wet with sweat, and the words are all blurred. What did you write?"

Gu Xingyan's forehead throbbed a few times: "So the injuries on your body are because of picking this Blue Moon Spiritual Sophora japonica? The snake king is not easy to deal with."

What's more, there are a group of poisonous snakes, and one bite from them can be fatal.

In his previous life, he climbed to the top of Mount Mou alone.

The wounds on her hands were already so severe, and she must have many more on her body as well. Gu Xingyan felt so distressed that he hurriedly got some medicine to give Li Shuang for the evening.

Li Shuangwan shook his head: "I'm fine, Master has already applied medicine to me, it's just some superficial injuries, it will heal soon."

If she hadn't been traveling day and night these days, she would have recovered long ago.

Besides, she is covered in dust now, so it would be useless to apply the medicine. It would be better to wash her body after a while and then apply the medicine.

"Xingyan, call all the soldiers to a meeting. I know a little about Ava. I will tell them about him."

"No hurry. We've been in a meeting all night and it just ended. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

"Ah."

But when he saw the half-eaten steamed bun and half-drunk porridge on the table, his face turned embarrassed and he said, "Forget it, you better not eat it."

Li Shuangwan chuckled: "I'm really hungry."

"Well, I'll have someone prepare it right away."

"And the guards I brought with me, who all came with us from Northern Jin, have all been tied up."

Li Shuangwan looked at the man who was spinning around, not knowing what to do, and said with a smile.

"Okay, I understand. I'll have them released right away."

Gu Xingyan walked outside and felt annoyed at himself for being so cowardly. Hadn’t he been thinking about her all the time? Hadn’t he dreamed about her often in the past few days because of their quick meeting that day?

There were even several times when she dreamed that she came to Yongzhou City to find her. Was she secretly hoping that she would come?

How come he didn't know how to face the person he had been looking forward to seeing every day, now that he was right in front of him?

This isn't the first time I've faced her as Gu Xingyan.

Gu Xingyan closed his eyes and slapped his forehead.

Mo Lin stood at the door, feeling a headache as he looked at his master, who looked like a young groom, at a loss as to what to do on his first day in the bridal sedan.

He moved closer to Gu Xingyan and stared at his forehead. It is said that a man in love will become a fool.

He just wanted to see whether his master, who had been in control of the situation and able to plan a hundred steps ahead since Lord Ou brought the girl back, would really become a fool when facing the girl he liked.

It’s terrible. The Ava army is about to attack our doorstep, but the commander of the Canglang Army has become a fool.

Finished!

As soon as Gu Xingyan opened his eyes, he saw an enlarged face in front of him.

His face sank: "Want to die?"

Mo Lin was startled and took two steps back: "Master, Master, I just want to see if you have become stupid."

"roll."

"Okay!" Seeing that his master didn't punish him, Mo Lin decided to run away now.

But, he only took two steps.

"return."

Mo Lin lowered his head, pouted his lips, and slowly moved closer. When he saw Gu Xingyan reaching out his hand, he immediately hugged his head and screamed, "Master, Master, can you please not hit my head?"
