Chapter 208 I Want to Eat the Note

Mu Yun Chu stopped her earlier teasing and her voice instantly turned icy.

"This humble general, this humble general dares not!" General Fu immediately dismounted and knelt down when he saw Mu Yun Chu's expression change.

Although he is the Fifth Prince's man and has powerful backers, he still has to suffer this loss for now.

Originally, he received Pei Jiu's order to sneak out of the camp, but he was spotted by the Seventh Prince.

He was ordered to accompany the Seventh Prince on a mission outside the camp, which infuriated him!

Before he came out, he made up countless excuses, but he rejected them all. He was so anxious.

He had to find a way to separate himself from Mu Yun Chu and her group!

Otherwise, it might delay the Fifth Prince's important matter!

He pursed his lips tightly, his hands clenched, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.

Mu Yun Chu saw all of this.

Suddenly, a cool smile appeared on his lips.

"Oh, right, I just remembered that I have other things to take care of. You can stay here for now, and I'll ask for your help when I get back."

After saying that, he led a few men and rode away.

Fu Xianyuan breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, he was just glad to be able to get rid of Mu Yun Chu for the time being. He still had time.

Watching the group run off into the distance, a guard behind him stepped forward and whispered, "General Fu, shall we go into the mountains or return to camp?"

Fu Xianyuan narrowed his eyes, his face grim. "Return to camp. We'll set off again in a quarter of an hour."

Gu Qingyue withdrew her spiritual power and watched as Mu Yun Chu and the others drew closer.

Gu Qingyue recognized that the people following him were his guards, whom she had seen before, and she felt relieved.

As the group rode their horses along the path at the foot of the mountain, Gu Qingyue whistled.

Upon hearing the sound, Mu Yun Chu looked up at the mountain.

Far away on the mountainside, Gu Qingyue smiled.

Half an hour later, on the back mountain.

Gu Qingyue and Mu Yunchu sat facing each other.

Apart from Gu Yuanen, who was skipping stones in the distance with an impatient look on his face, everyone else stood a short distance away, watching the surrounding movements warily.

"How did you end up here?" Mu Yun Chu's face was full of tenderness and doting affection, which she couldn't hide.

Gu Qingyue smiled and said in a light tone, "I was thinking of you, so I came to visit."

She wasn't some typical demure woman from ancient times; if she had a thought, she had one. In front of him, she didn't need to hide it.

Mu Yun Chu's lips curved into a big smile, "You still have a conscience, good girl."

Gu Qingyue glared at him, "Alright, let's get down to business."

"Isn't coming to see me because you missed me the important thing?" Mu Yun Chu's eyes were gentle, and her voice was even gentler.

Gu Qingyue: Uh-------Don't do that, I can't take it!

"I'm serious!" Gu Qingyue gritted her teeth.

"I received a message that someone might be trying to assassinate you, so I came over to see what was going on."

After saying that, he raised an eyebrow and smiled, his face saying, "Quickly, ask me, ask me!"

Mu Yun Chu chuckled and reached out to hold her small hand. "Then tell me quickly, Yue, who is so audacious?"

"Cough cough------" Gu Qingyue rolled her eyes in annoyance: "Can you please stop using that wolf in sheep's clothing tone?"

Mu Yun Chu's expression froze: Whose grandmother?

"Ahem------ I mean, I really came to tell you about this," Gu Qingyue composed herself, becoming serious in an instant.

She suddenly sighed inwardly. It turns out that men and women in love can have brain problems. They talk so much nonsense and are incredibly stupid!

"Um, you say it," Mu Yun Chu gripped the small hand tighter, her expression serious.

Gu Qingyue then recounted in detail how she received Yue Ling's letter and went to the valley.

She also mentioned a short woman in black and told her that she had ordered people to continue chasing after her.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun Chu's expression changed drastically, and she became serious.

Gu Qingyue did not immediately ask any further questions, but waited for him to process the information.

A moment later, Mu Yun Chu suddenly stood up.

He pulled Gu Qingyue up and held her tightly in his arms.

Gu Qingyue could even feel how tightly his large hand was gripping her waist.

"Ah Yue, Ah Yue," Mu Yun Chu whispered in her ear, her voice filled with unspeakable tenderness and longing.

Gu Qingyue sensed his bad mood and looked up from his arms.

"What's wrong? Are these people strange? Or did I mess things up?"

Gu Qingyue felt a little uneasy, but she felt that her judgment should be correct.

Those people are definitely here to cause trouble.

"No, you've done me a huge favor and saved both countries!"

Mu Yun Chu reached out and stroked her soft, long hair, sighing inwardly.

What merits does he possess to win the heart of such an outstanding woman?

"Huh? Is it that important?" Gu Qingyue asked in surprise.

Mu Yun Chu nodded, stroked the back of her head with one hand, and pulled her into his arms again, holding her tightly.

Gu Qingyue heard his heart beating heavily and steadily, and her heart suddenly calmed down.

"You're leaving the camp on important business?" Gu Qingyue suddenly asked, remembering something.

Mu Yun Chu released her, pulled her to sit down under a tree, and then revealed her purpose.

It turned out that Mu Yun Chu had also received news that the Fifth Prince intended to send someone to sabotage the peace talks between the two countries. If he succeeded, not only would the peace talks be affected, but Mu Yun Chu would also be in deep trouble for dereliction of duty.

This provides a perfect excuse and opportunity for those who already wanted to eliminate them.

Leaving aside the ministers in the court, it's not impossible that the emperor might use this as an excuse to issue an edict to ruin his future and restrict his freedom.

Not to mention that the failure of peace talks between the two countries would likely lead to an endless war.

How many more lives have been lost!

He sent Mu Nan and Mu Dong into the mountains to search for several days, but they still couldn't find any trace of them.

Thinking the information might be wrong, I remained on guard to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

This afternoon, they just received a message from Mu Nan saying that someone resembling the Fifth Prince had appeared in Qihe Town, a key town between the two countries, so he planned to take people there to check.

Gu Qingyue frowned in thought.

She knew Qihe Town; it was about fifty miles away and was now the territory of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

Based on her and Gu Yuanen's travel speed, Pei Jiu and the others should not have arrived in Qihe Town yet.

Could it be another group of people?

"Pei Jiu and the others shouldn't be that fast. Could it be that the Fifth Prince sent two teams?"

"Possibly."

"唳-------"

Suddenly, the voice of a gyrfalcon came from above.

As soon as Gu Qingyue raised her head, she met the eyes of that glutton.

"Is this a letter for you?" Mu Yun Chu asked.

Actually, I heard Gu Yuanming mention back in Meng County that Gu Qingyue had a gyrfalcon, which, though small in size, had a very impressive cry.

This should be the one.

The two stood up, and Gu Qingyue untied the note from its leg.

Looking at the contents above, Gu Qingyue's expression was quite interesting.

If I had to use a single idiom to describe it, it would be ------ ever-changing!

At that moment, these four words popped into Mu Yun Chu's mind as she stared at her.

"what happened?"

"Uh------it's nothing, what could possibly be wrong?" Gu Qingyue clenched the note in her hand, trying to appear calm.

"What happened?" Gu Yuanen saw the gyrfalcon and ran over from the stream.

"It's nothing, nothing at all," Gu Qingyue quickly waved her hand.

She wants to eat the note now, but she doesn't know if the two people in front of her will mind.
