I traveled through time and space and found a mute boy: That’s enough, I feel sorry for him

The wolf smoke rose straight into the sky.

Drums were beating outside Shangjing City. Xu Shu was quite familiar with the sound because he had witnessed a siege in Yuzhou City.

Wu Yong also instantly understood what this meant. With a pale face, he asked Xu Shu, "Qiao Jianhong and his hundreds of thousands of people are all in the capital, right?"

"I'm afraid not." Xu Shu frowned. "Not to mention that Shangjing couldn't possibly accommodate so many soldiers. If it were true, how could the city be attacked so silently?"

"Yeah, how come this chaotic army suddenly came to the city without any noise?" Jiang Xiao sighed deeply, "Could it be that someone is colluding with the enemy?"

Xu Shu paused suddenly, subconsciously glanced at Mu Jinghua, and then shook his head: "This is a matter within the court, how can we know about it?"

"What should we do now?" Wu Yong asked.

"I don't have the final say here. Everyone should protect themselves first. We just happen to have a batch of goods. Let's send them to everyone in the mansion who is able to fight, just in case."

"As for me," Xu Shu looked at everyone, "I'll go out and take a look at the situation."

"Xu Shu." Mu Jinghua immediately grabbed the corner of Xu Shu's clothes, "It's dangerous outside, don't go."

"With my kung fu, I can get away safely. Don't be afraid." Xu Shu thought for a moment and found an excuse, "I still need your help. I need you to count the supplies and rice in the mansion, just like the time in Yuzhou. You can do it, right?"

"Okay, I can." Mu Jinghua responded quickly, but he was still confused. Seeing Xu Shu pushing his hand away, he felt a little resentful towards Mu Tonghai who came up with the idea.

Didn’t this guy claim to have the system in his hands? How come he couldn’t predict the enemy troops entering the city?

Now, he has poisoned all those in power. Qiao Jianhong is probably dead already. So the only one left to shoulder the responsibility is Xu Shu, right?

Let Xu Shu go to the battlefield...

Let Xu Shu go to the battlefield again.

Recalling the fear and terror he experienced in Yuzhou City, Mu Jinghua felt difficulty breathing and his heart ached. He covered his chest and wanted to persuade Xu Shu again, but when he looked up, he could no longer see him.

"Gone?" Mu Jinghua was a little incredulous, "So... quickly?"

Wu Yong was actually also puzzled. In the past, no matter how urgent the situation was, Xu Shu always couldn't help but give a few more instructions for Mu Jinghua.

But why today... is it so quick and decisive?

Something is wrong.

Especially since they just had their wedding night, Xu Shu had this attitude...

Something is simply very wrong.

Wu Yong subconsciously looked at Mu Jinghua and saw him standing there in a daze, pale, and obviously in disbelief. He couldn't help but comfort him, "The mansion is safe. Xu Shu is just worried about the situation outside."

Mu Jinghua pursed his lips, retracted his gaze, and looked at Wu Yong and the others: "I need to go out for a while too."

"Ah?" Qi Huairen was the first to disagree, "It's very dangerous outside, and Xu Shu won't agree."

Mu Jinghua stood up and said, "Master, this is just a notice."

Qi Huairen was stunned, and then saw Mu Jinghua walking out the door.

Wu Yong was also stunned for a second, and then he said: "Brother Mu, Brother Wan, stop him, stop him quickly."

Qu Xiu also ran forward, trying to hold Mu Jinghua by force, but was thrown to the ground by Mu Jinghua.

"Don't stop me." Mu Jinghua frowned and sighed, "Senior Brother."

Qu Xiu was lying on the ground, looking up at the sky, stunned for a while, until a key appeared in front of him.

"The goods are in the dowry box. Here is the key." Mu Jinghua squatted down to look at him, then looked at Qi Huairen and Wu Yong who were shocked. "I have something I must do. Please don't stop me."

After saying that, he walked away, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment: "Brother Mu, was he like this before?"

No one can give an answer.

Xu Shu, the only person who could possibly give the answer, was not there either, so everyone had to calm down and get busy.

After all, this concerns all of their lives.

……

Mu Jinghua left the house, took his horse, and went straight to the Mu Mansion. There was no one in sight along the way. All the doors were closed, and even the air was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

Although it was strange, it was not dangerous. He rushed all the way to the Mu Mansion and saw that the door was wide open. He did not dismount but just rushed in.

The Mu Mansion was in chaos and no one stopped Mu Jinghua, so he rushed in swaggeringly and went all the way to the courtyard where Mu Tonghai was. Suddenly, his pupils contracted and he hurriedly reined in his horse.

In front of me, Xu Shu was standing tall in the middle of the courtyard.

Hearing the neighing of a horse, he slowly turned around and looked at Mu Jinghua, but his expression was not surprised. He just said lightly: "Little Mu Jin, you are here."

Mu Jinghua gripped the reins tightly, subconsciously not wanting to look at him, but sitting on a tall horse, there was no way to avoid him, so he could only accept his fate and asked softly, "You... knew I would come?"

Xu Shu said nothing, but stretched out a hand towards him to help him get off the horse.

Mu Jinghua's Adam's apple rolled, and his mind turned a hundred times, but he still didn't understand what Xu Shu's current attitude was.

Seeing Xu Shu slightly raised his hand to signal him, he had no choice but to close his eyes, grit his teeth, and hold Xu Shu's hand.

Xu Shu helped him off the horse as usual, without any hesitation. After his toes touched the bottom, he immediately withdrew his hand and said, "Let's go."

Mu Jinghua glanced at Xu Shu and wanted to say something.

But he had already walked quickly towards the room where Mu Tonghai was.

The room was very dark, and Mu Tonghai's coughing could be heard from time to time, like a terminally ill tuberculosis patient, whose life was being drained away with every cough.

"Little Hibiscus." Xu Shu walked into the inner room and looked at Mu Tonghai, who had no one to serve him and had to help himself get out of bed to pour tea and rinse his mouth. He poured him a cup and handed it to him, "Mu Tonghai can't die."

Mu Jinghua did not respond for a moment.

Xu Shu turned around and saw the young man looking at him with a pale face. When he met his gaze, he subconsciously took half a step back.

His lips trembled slightly, but he immediately bit his lower lip and asked in a hoarse voice: "You... don't want me anymore, right?"
