Soon after, they had tidied up and followed the knights forward
Chen Rong quietly lifted her curtain to look around, beckoning Li Cheng closer as she did so
He rode over and broke into a pleasant laugh: “Miss, howvoice caused the knights to turn their heads
Chen Rong shyly bowed her head and waited until the knights iain “Li Cheng, are these men truly General Ran’s subordinates?” she whispered
Li Cheng chuckled, but seeing Chen Rong’s unimpressed face, he quickly dropped his voice and replied, “Rest assured, uards We’verelax
Li Cheng laughed again and then caught up to the knights
After nearly an hour, the torch-lit cavalcade arrived at apeered outside and saw nu banners in the distance with the character “Min” on them
The cas, all was quiet
Having arrived at such a sole and his hts to the centere stopped outside while Li Cheng and several guards followed the knights inside
Nurse Ping eyed the’s side: “It’s already so late, General Ran won’t summon you, will he?” Unease was heard in her voice
At length, footsteps sounded
Chen Rong looked up only to find her gaze suspended
A handsome yet severe man in a black outfit appeared at the entrance He apparently had just bathed, water dripping from his dark hair A few droplets rolled down his chiseled face and onto the strong chest hidden behind his black undergaruards and knights to bow their heads, not daring to breathe a breath too loud
Chen Rong was no exception She lowered her head the moment his inky eyes set upon her
Ran Min strode to her carriage and then stopped
He stared at her and, all of a sudden, huskily laughed “Little lady, webowed to hieneral”
Her voice was cool and calm
“Lift your head,” he abruptly co stiffened, but still obediently looked up
They faced each other in the ht
As he carefully studied her, Ran Min’s eyebrows ever slightly furrowed
A second later, he ements for Miss Chen!”
“Aye” Several soldiers stepped out, surrounded Chen Rong’s carriage, and steered it in a different direction
At this point, Nurse Ping exhaled and said in a hopeful tone: “Miss, had a man of his station actually coreat respect for you”
Chen Rong softly hummed a reply She knew Ran Min hated the nobles’ bureaucratic rules and had obviously come out just to see her He had taken into account that it was too late to summon her into his tent It was indeed rare of hi like that
The soldiers had vacated a tent in the west for Chen Rong and Nurse Ping to stay
As Chen Rong went inside with her nurse’s help, she suddenly stopped and asked one of the soldiers, “What about the Chens’ fauards?”
The soldier bowed to her and loudly replied, “I do not know, ether and then bent down to enter the tent
On the other side, Li Cheng and the guards were also led away by the soldiers
Looking at Li Cheng and his group leave, a ly said, “That knave Chen Yuan hasn’t co people here”
Ran Min faintly smiled His smile was both unconcerned as it was sarcastic
“But I ed scholar added, ”that was an enor would be able to bear losing so much food, let alone Chen Yuan”
Ran Min sos were entrusted to Chen Yuan by the Prince of Nan’yang to transport”
Another scholar, tall and thin, walked up behind them and chuckled to Ran Min: “You had posed as the barbarians to rob his food How funny that Chen Yuan still places hope on receiving your help He even sends two young ladies here, one after another”
Five or six hed out loud
Ran Min did not join the had left and unhurriedly said, “But I want this young lady to co the re advisors to look at one another
The , and insect chirping Even the wind sounded dreary and bleak Nurse Ping tossed and turned throughout the night She looked at Chen Rong’s bed several ti to talk to her But noin a deep sleep
Early next ly coht I was so scared, but you didn’t even turn once”
Chen Rong’s mouth made a twitch but she did not answer
Just then, a loud voice called in: “Is the young eneral wants to see her”
Nurse Ping was startled by his voice Her hand jerked and almost dropped all the combs to the floor She quickly picked them up, winced twice, and hollered back: “Almost finished, just a second”
She soon finished dressing Chen Rong, at which time she tilted her head to take a look, nodded with satisfaction, and urged herhu followed behind After a few steps, she began to worry and thus leaned in to say: “Miss, when you’re with General Ran, do try to ood impression If he expresses his wish to marry you, then youand sincerely added, “Please agree Don’t change yourpaid little attention to her She just kept her head doove her hands in front of her abdomen, and sloalked ahead
The soldiers had all left their tents by now A few paces later, they heard footsteps pounding fro hooves and billowing s arrived at the center there, holding polear’s legs gave out upon seeing these people
Chen Rong hastened to hold her She kept her head down and soon passed the heavily guarded area into the tent
Inside, Ran Min was sitting on the divan using a red cloth to wipe his spear He slowly raised his head when he heard the arriving footsteps
His inky eyes patiently fixed upon Chen Rong before they glanced over at Nurse Ping By the ti
“Sit,” he o of Nurse Ping and scurried to the seat he had pointed to
Ran Min poured her a cup of wine, then pointed and ordered: “Drink”
Chen Rong received it fro
“How straightforward,” Ran Min laughed
