The head of the Mu family

Chapter 99: A Loss on One Side, a Gain on Another - Falling in Love with Li Rongchuan

It turned out that after that gathering, everyone started their respective shifts the next day.

Later, when they met again, Li Rongchuan asked Yan Sen about this matter.

Yan Sen hesitated for a long time, but finally spoke:

"Huaisheng is very good, really very good, and I like him very much."

But getting married is definitely out of the question!

Even if she...

If she were a daughter from an ordinary family, I would definitely kneel down and beg for a proper betrothal from the family through the traditional matchmaking process.

However, Huaisheng was a military doctor.

In his daily life, Huai Sheng has seen and touched the bodies of countless men while rescuing people.

I... I simply cannot accept this.

My family too...

Before he could finish speaking, he was beaten up by Li Rongchuan.

Yan Sen didn't retaliate, and Li Rongchuan also felt ashamed.

Mu Huaisheng felt a mixture of regret and relief:

No wonder, Li Rongchuan's attitude towards me has become increasingly better since those few days.

It turned out to be the case.

After hearing this, Mu Huaisheng smiled helplessly:

"I thought it was no big deal, Brother Yan is a gentleman~"

He must have thought it over carefully and felt that there was no future for us, which is why he told the truth.

They are much better than those who like someone but know there's no future in it, yet still drag it out.

Second Master, please don't take it to heart~

Ugh, I'm really tired today. I need to go home and rest early!

After saying that, Huaisheng quickly turned around and left without looking back.

Tears, still, streamed down my face uncontrollably.

Fortunately, Li Rongchuan didn't see it.

After watching the girl walk away with feigned nonchalance, Li Rongchuan's eyes flickered in the darkness.

The next day, Li Rongchuan wrote a letter and sent it out.

A few days later, I received a letter.

Li Rongchuan then began to treat Mu Huaisheng well, both openly and secretly.

Mu Huaisheng was puzzled. At first, he thought:

That shouldn't be the case. Didn't you introduce me to your brother?

However, it's impossible for me to be wrong in my judgment.

Li Rongchuan was pursuing the kind of good that he wanted for himself.

It seems that Li Rongchuan is serious, and he doesn't hide anything in his actions.

But could a Marquis's mansion, with its prestigious status, really accept a military doctor?

But Li Rongchuan's mind is completely honest.

They treat themselves so well, it's quite blatant.

The Marquis and his wife were present several times, but they did not react.

Or, why don't we start dating first?

We'll talk about the rest later.

Mu Huaisheng put aside his worries and faced Li Rongchuan with composure.

A subtle, ambiguous relationship gradually developed between the two.

What new things or delicious food did Li Rongchuan get?

We must bring it back to show Huaisheng so we can enjoy the food together.

The two talked more and more, and every day after dinner they would find an opportunity to meet and talk.

During the day, when we bump into each other in the medical tent, we exchange glances.

When they meet while patrolling outside, they exchange glances.

During a meal, their eyes would casually meet.

Sometimes when we get up early and go out, we exchange a smile when no one is around.

Gradually, during their evening meetings, the two would inadvertently touch hands or arms.

After that, I accidentally touched his hand again.

Li Rongchuan's large hand firmly and nervously enveloped Huaisheng's small hand, and never let go.

After that, every time we met...

The first thing he did was to show his big teeth and take Huaisheng's little hand in his own.

Large, calloused hands provide a strong sense of security.

Every time Li Rongchuan saw Huaisheng, he would grin happily from afar.

That heartfelt joy stirred Huai Sheng's heart.

Mu Huaisheng felt radiant.

When lovers develop a secret relationship.

Find a gap in the crowd, and make eye contact in a flash.

Except for the eyes, everything else on the face is desperately trying to remain unfamiliar.

But it produces more dopamine than kissing!

Mu Huaisheng was so sweet he felt like he was flying:

I truly felt it.

Even the sweltering summer feels lovely now~

The beautiful autumn season has arrived again, and it will soon be over.

Mu Huaisheng felt that the four seasons passed in the blink of an eye, but they were all beautiful.

The lady became pregnant in the summer. Once the pregnancy was stable, she planned to return to Panlong first, and then return to Beijing from Panlong.

Just as the Marquis was preparing to personally escort his wife back to Panlong, a military report arrived:

Two generals from Tongguan have gone missing, and their fate is unknown.

One of the female generals was the daughter of General Yan Sheng.

We need to send people to provide support immediately. The wounded in the north are serious, so we must send some military doctors to go with the troops.

Everyone was extremely anxious upon hearing this and ordered their men to escort the lady back safely.

Mu Huaisheng requested to resign from his position from his wife:

"Madam, your health is even better now than it was back then. You can go back and rest normally during your pregnancy. I also want to do my part!"

The noblewoman nodded after hearing this and said:

"I know! Go ahead~"

Take good care of yourself and return home soon!

"Zhenniang will go with you. She knows kung fu, so it'll be better for her to take care of you on a daily basis."

Knowing that it would be inconvenient for the woman to be in the military camp, Mu Huaisheng agreed without being polite.

The noblewoman and her entourage headed east, while the Marquis led several generals to guard the area.

Li Rongchuan was extremely anxious and led several generals and three military doctors on a northward march.

The entire army rode at breakneck speed and joined the imperial army five days later.

After the army assembled and set up camp, Li Rongchuan didn't even have time to look at Huaisheng before immediately going to discuss military matters with the marshal.

Mu Huaisheng didn't stand on ceremony and immediately went into the wounded soldiers' camp with several military doctors.

Upon entering the camp, Mu Huaisheng thought he was seeing things!

Mu Huaisheng saw the Blue Medicine God!

Unexpectedly, the Blue Medicine God also saw her immediately, and his voice came through right away:

"What are you standing there for! Come and help!"

After they finished their work, the two washed their hands and went outside the tent.

It was already dark outside, and torches were lit inside the military camp.

Why are you here?

"Are you reassured, sister-in-law?"

"If you can come, why can't I? Your sister-in-law supports me!"

She said a good man should have ambitions beyond his hometown, and told me not to worry, that she would take care of things at home.

Oh my~

Seriously, how could you get such a good deal out of my sister-in-law?

"Ha ha ha ha...

Mind your own business~

How are you? Tell me quickly!

The two of them went to get some food and found a quiet place.

While eating, they chatted on and on, sharing their experiences.

When Mu Huaisheng heard that Lan Yaoshen had directly petitioned the emperor to come to the battlefield, he couldn't help but sigh:

"It really is my older brother!"

That's true loyalty and courage!

When Lan Yaoshen heard about Mu Huaisheng and Yan Sen's affair, he sighed:

"I've met that kid before, he's not bad."

But my little sister is even better; that kid didn't have the luck!

"Of course!"

Mu Huaisheng naturally followed up with a sentence.

The two of them burst into laughter and started talking about Li Rongchuan again.

Upon hearing this, the Blue Medicine God put away his joking expression and said:

"He was born into a noble family, and before the formal betrothal ceremony is completed, he must abide by the proper etiquette!"

You're a young woman; your reputation is more important!

Mu Huaisheng wants to say:

Have you forgotten that I've lost my reputation?

Not wanting to disappoint his sincere good intentions, she solemnly agreed.

The Blue Medicine God arranged another small tent for her, so that she and Zhenniang could live next to him.

Two days later, a secret letter arrived:

The two missing generals are both safe, and the soldiers who were captured by Da Hao earlier have also been found.

They suffered greatly and were imprisoned in the canyon.

The group also contacted the dozen or so skilled fighters who had previously infiltrated the canyon.

They gathered their men, intending to rescue the six captured soldiers.

But the Tartars have learned their lesson; they've closed the gates and made the entire valley pass easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Tartar's commander-in-chief defending the city was Yeyewang Shuwu.

This person is cruel, greedy, and lustful by nature.

He was nine feet tall and as strong as an ox, and was incredibly brave on the battlefield.

After conquering the canyon pass, Shuwu kept changing his strategy to defend the city.

In the past two years, the canyon pass has not been captured again.
