The nine kings in one body, a magnificent fox fur coat, personally brought people to search.

  The torches held by the guards were like stars, winding into a river of stars, making the night mountains and fields as bright as daylight.

  Xiao Ge'er rushed into Cui Rong's arms, crying like a tearful person, "Fifth Aunt, Fifth Aunt, I've finally found you!"

  His chubby little hands tightly wrapped around Aunt Wu, his buried head constantly twitching, his shoulders shaking with sobs.

  After all, still just a kid.

  Cui Ling gently patted his head, "Brother Yu is really amazing, Wu Auntie has been waiting for you to come and rescue me."

  She let out a deep breath in her heart.

  I was worried that Brother Yu would also fall into the hands of those Rouran people, but it turns out he is safe and sound, what a great fortune.

  She raised her head and glanced at the man riding a tall horse.

  His eyes seemed to be hiding a fervent passion, but his attitude was very distant. Separated by the crowd of people who had gathered around, he just gazed from afar without any intention of getting closer.

  Cui Ying sighed quietly and didn't feel sad at all.

  In fact, if she really made her attitude clear and didn't interfere with each other's business, it wouldn't be a bad thing for her either.

  She slightly lowered her eyelids, and the corner of her eye involuntarily swept a glance at the mustachioed man.

  He didn't seem very happy, his face was gloomy and silent, and he accepted the cloak handed over by others with a dark expression.

  There is a faint ache in my heart.

  Some emotions come suddenly and catch you off guard when you're least prepared. She hadn't even gotten used to having them before they were gone forever.

  Shi Xiu Jin squeezed forward from the crowd, first sizing up Cui Ying from head to toe.

  The cloak was wet and muddy, with stains on his face, a scar hidden near his ear, and several scrapes on his forehead.

  It seems like you've been through some hardships.

  His eyes were filled with a hint of heartache, but his words always came out so sarcastic.

  "Wife's sister didn't believe me at first, but look. When I'm around you're safe and sound, as soon as I leave you get robbed by bad people, it's clear that I'm still very reliable!"

  It's as if what happened yesterday, being intercepted by someone as soon as I left the city gate, has been thrown far, far away.

  Cui Ling gave him a glance, "If you were reliable, you wouldn't have been beaten until your nose was blue and your face was swollen."

  "Really that obvious? Is the bridge of my nose crooked? Oh dear, I haven't even married yet."

  He indignantly said, "If I can't marry a heavenly wife because of you, I'll take up arms and wipe out the Rouran!"

  Actually, although there is some bruising under the eyes, the bridge of the nose only has a slight abrasion.

  Shek Sau-kin is indeed a bit of an exaggerator, but it's not always like that.

  Cui Ling knew in her heart that these two goods were probably seeing her emotional downturn, deliberately saying some exaggerated words to make her happy.

  She smiled and said, "No problem. I can still find a wife more beautiful than the heavenly fairy."

  Yuan Wulang stood in the corner with a melancholy expression, watching them laugh and talk.

  He bitterly thought, she easily captured the hearts of his family members, even Shi Xiuren could chat with her like an old friend, why was it only him who was hurt by her time and time again?

  Let's forget about what happened on their wedding night and forgive her for not recognizing his appearance.

  But she didn't even know his name!

  How could he be so oblivious to this person? How could something so unbelievable happen?

  Huai Shu saw all of Yuan Wulang's expressions, although he didn't know what had happened, but seeing his own Fifth Master with eyes full of grievances and resentment was truly pitiful.

  He asked with some concern, "Grandpa, is something wrong?"

  Yuan Wulang snorted, "None of your business."

  At this time, a wave of fragrance wafted out from the stone cave.

  The fragrance was so strong that it rushed into people's nostrils, stirring up the already sleeping gluttony in the deep night.

  Shi Xiu Jin was the first to be unable to bear it, and he suspiciously asked, "What's being roasted in here?"

  Cui Ling's stomach growled loudly, she licked her lips and said "Ah, my roasted chicken is done!"

  She looked at Shi Xiu Jian and Yu Ge'er, who were staring at her with eager eyes, and sighed. "Alright, you two come in and have a bit to eat too. There's not much food, I only hunted two mountain chickens, so I can only give you a little taste."

  As soon as he finished speaking, the bearded man quickly turned around and went back into the stone cave.

  Before long, he brought out two roasted mountain chickens, each grasped in one hand. The mud and leaves on the outside had been removed, revealing golden-yellow, tender and juicy chicken meat that looked extremely tempting.

  Chui Ling thought that Hu Xu was being kind and only helped to bring out the fried chicken, then shared it with Shi Xiu Jian and Yu Ge'er.

  Who would have thought that he provokingly rushed towards Cui Ying with a smile, then flapped his arms and opened them to the left and right, each taking a bite of the roasted chicken.

  Munching on chicken while swaggering past Choi Yong's side.

  Facing the stunned Cui Ying, he said in a bad tone and a harsh voice, "These two pheasants were hunted by me, and I cleaned them up myself. Even when it comes to roasting, I did it all by myself. Why should I share the meat with others?"

  This childish talk is completely unreasonable and doesn't match his majestic image at all.

  Chui Ying just wanted to say something, but he only saw him waving his sleeves and leaving without a word.

  The guards who had gathered around saw him pass by and automatically cleared a path for him.

  Someone had led a horse up to him.

  He sprang up, mounted his horse, and despite having been on the brink of death with a raging fever just the night before, his movements were still lithe and swift.

  It's strange, although he was wearing just an ordinary hemp garment, he always gave people a sense of aura.

  It seems that all the guards here look up to him, and wherever he goes, their eyes follow.

  Cui Ling's heart skipped a beat, and she furrowed her brow in suspicion.

  The whiskered man didn't know what the tall, majestic-looking man in the embroidered robe said to him. The two of them turned their heads at the same time and looked back, without leaving a word behind, and simultaneously raised their whips and urged their horses on.

  Cui Ying's heart was filled with confusion and had no way to relieve it.

  She inadvertently saw Xīu Gēr's guilty and uneasy expression, thinking that the child was feeling regretful because he didn't call out "chicken".

  She couldn't help but laugh and bend down to pinch his little face, "Do you want to eat? It's okay, when we get back to Muzhou City, Aunt Wu will make it for you."

  She whispered in his ear, "There's a lack of seasoning here. And there's no water source, those two pheasants are not very clean, eating them might even cause stomach trouble! Nothing to regret!"

  Shi Xiu's face was calm, but he had an inquiring look on his face.

  He's a straightforward person, and he can't keep things to himself. After thinking for a moment, he carefully asked, "Wu Jie, is there something going on between you and my fifth uncle?"

  Cui Ling thought he was asking about his mother's tone, and his expression involuntarily revealed a hint of annoyance.

  She somewhat despises Yuan Wulang now, even if he doesn't like her, but considering she came from afar to this place. Shouldn't he also give her some face in front of others?

  On a day like today, as long as it's someone familiar, they will express their concern.

  What's more, he is her husband!

  He stood ten feet away, watching with a cold and noble gaze. Anyone with eyes could see that their husband-and-wife relationship was not good, and it's unclear what benefits he got from doing so.

  Cui Ying's anger burst forth from her heart, and a thin layer of indignation appeared on her face. "What is it? What could it be?"

  She said indignantly, "Even if there's something going on, you should go ask him. Yes, and by the way, tell him this for me: I was kidnapped by the Rouran people and barely escaped with my life, and now I'm troubling him to come find me in the mountains where it's windy, what if he gets his clothes dirty? It would be really rude of me!"

  Whether it's Yu Ge or Shi Xiuren, they are all wearing yesterday's clothes.

  Covered in dust and with a worried face, at least it shows they have been worrying about her all along.

  Unlike him, at such a critical moment, he still has the mind to change his clothes!

  Shi Xiu Jing opened her big eyes and looked at Cui Ying in a puzzled manner, "What is Fifth Aunt saying? Could it be that Fifth Brother got into a dispute with you because he dirtied his clothes?"

  He scratched his head, extremely puzzled. "This doesn't add up, Fifth Brother is very generous and wouldn't get upset over such a small matter. Besides, that tattered clothing of his isn't worth much money, even if it gets dirty or torn, just throw it away, no need to get angry."

  Choi Yeon glanced at him and said, "Is that also worthless?"

  Although she is not familiar with household chores, she is also a member of the Bo family, and this high-quality white fox fur coat with a pure white body and no miscellaneous hairs is extremely rare. The quality, color, and tailoring of this dress are invaluable.

  Shi Xiu became increasingly puzzled, "Wu Big Brother, for the sake of convenience, wore coarse hemp clothes just like the guards, although they used high-quality cotton, but it's not worth much money, right?"

  He suddenly had an epiphany and exclaimed, "I know, I know! Brother Wu must have been upset that you gave me and Xiu Ge such a delicious pheasant without consulting him!"

  Haha, Brother Wu actually has a day like this without any demeanor, haha, it's really beyond expectations!

  It was as if a huge stone had fallen heavily onto Cui Ying's heart.

  She was stunned for a long time and stuttered, "What did you say?"

  Shi Xiu suddenly felt that Cui Ling's tone was somewhat off, but he continued with a smile, "I say, Wu Gege is probably a bit unhappy... it's just two pheasants, he's usually very generous and shouldn't mind like this."

  His tone was ambiguous, with a hint of teasing, "Wu Tiege is really something, he's not a kid anymore, as long as he says the word, I and Yuer Ge'er don't have to eat it either, why do you need to make a scene in front of everyone?"

  "Pffft, he actually took a bite out of both mountain chickens! With so many soldiers watching, does he still want to maintain his commander image?"

  Take a bite of each of the two pheasants...

  Chui Ling's eyes were sternly fixed on Yu Ge, who was now sitting with his legs tightly closed and his head hung low, not making a sound.

  Innumerable grass mud horses galloped through her mind, thinking that Yuan Wulang this scoundrel cheated her was nothing, even Xun Geer this little kid also played with her in the palm of his hand, it was simply...

  Because of catching a cold and being physically weak, coupled with sudden anger attacking the heart.

  Chui Rong suddenly felt dizzy and his eyes blurred, his legs softened, and he fell down.
