Mu Jin and Su Yi walked slowly down the mountain along the mountain path. The two walked side by side along the mountain path, their feet stepped on the fallen leaves, making a rustling sound, which was particularly clear in this quiet forest.

Along the way, Mu Jin's state of mind was completely different from the day when he went up the mountain with Nangong Min.

At that time, Nangong Min was by her side, chatting with her while enjoying the scenery, and they were both very happy. But at this moment, she felt mixed emotions.

As a Nangong person, Nangong Min has responsibilities that he must shoulder!

He is no longer the Eleventh Little Guard beside Mu Jin, nor is he the Nangong Min who said he would stay with her and protect her for the rest of his life and only had her in his heart.

Thinking of this, Mu Jin felt a little confused. From the moment she went down the mountain, she might never see Nangong Min again in her life. Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling a little sad, and even felt that even the way down the mountain was extremely difficult.

Looking at the unhappy Mu Jin, Su Yi smiled jokingly: "Are you still thinking about Nangong Min?"

After hearing Su Yi's words, Mu Jin was stunned and didn't say anything.

Su Yi moved closer to Mu Jin and gently touched her with his shoulder.

"Don't be so sullen. I'm just a man, right? Look at me. Am I not a million times better than Nangong Min? How about this? How about I be with you reluctantly?"

Mu Jin didn't want to pay attention to Su Yi, but after hearing his shameless words, he couldn't help but snorted coldly and gave Su Yi a cold look.

Seeing that Mu Jin finally responded, Su Yi couldn't help but said with a playful smile: "Well, even if you really don't consider me, the most important thing for a person is to be happy. So, how about I take you to visit the Southern Shu Kingdom?"

"Thank you, but I'm not interested." Mu Jin said.

"So is there any place you want to go? I will go with you," Su Yi asked

Mu Jin glanced at Su Yi and said, "Of course I do, but I don't plan to be with you."

Su Yi didn't take it seriously when he heard it: "But I have plans to follow you, and you know that I am an idle prince, I don't have much, but I have the most in the world."

Mu Jin snorted coldly: "You are a grown man, and you have nothing to do? What's the point of following a woman?"

Su Yi rolled his eyes and said shamelessly, "I have something to say. My most important thing right now is to follow Ah Jin. Don't even think about leaving me behind."

Mu Jin continued to roll her eyes at Su Yi and quickened her pace. She felt that Su Yi was like a dog-skin plaster that could not be gotten rid of no matter what she did, making her feel powerless.

Soon, Mu Jin and Su Yi went down to the foot of Shennong Mountain together.

Mu Jin stopped, turned his head slightly, and glanced towards the residence of Nangong Shenzong on the mountain.

She said silently in her heart: "Min, goodbye, I hope you will take good care of yourself from now on." Then, she turned around resolutely and walked towards the stable at the foot of the mountain without hesitation.

There were two people standing next to the stable. They were Su Yi's personal guards Ling Feng and Ling Yu.

Before Su Yi went up the mountain, he told them that he and Mu Jin would come down the mountain in three days at the latest, so they both waited for Su Yi at the foot of Shennong Mountain for the past two days.

Ling Feng Ling Yu saw from afar Su Yi following Mu Jin like a docile sheep coaxing Mu Jin, and ignored the two of them.

When Su Yi and Mu Jin walked up to them and reported to Su Yi that there was a secret letter, Su Yi seemed not to hear it. His eyes were always following Mu Jin and he kept muttering to himself.

Ling Yu was a little anxious, so he chased forward and said, "Master, there is an urgent secret letter about Yanmen Pass."

After these words were spoken, not only Su Yi stopped, but Mu Jin also stopped and turned to look at Ling Yu.

"But is it related to my father and brother?"

Ling Yu looked at Su Yi in embarrassment. Su Yi gestured to Ling Yu to hand the secret letter to Mu Jin.

Mu Jin took the secret letter and opened it. It said, "On February 11, Mu Yan spotted the enemy soldiers, fought with them, fell into a trap, was captured, and his life or death is unknown. In addition, there were unusual movements in Beiqi. The palace sent Prince Yun as a peace envoy, and Huang Xindujian went to Yanmen Pass."

When Mu Jin saw Mu Yan being captured, she was stunned at first. She thought she was seeing things, so she looked at it again.

In just a moment, Mu Jin felt as if struck by lightning. He felt blank, unable to see or hear anything. The only thing he could feel was a buzzing sound in his head and nothing else.

Mu Jin shook his head blankly and said only one sentence: "It's impossible. Big brother is so powerful, and with daddy around, he won't let big brother get into trouble. I don't believe it."

When Su Yi saw that Mu Jin's face was pale and heard Mu Jin talking about Mu Yan, he knew that something must have happened to Mu Yan. He hurried forward, took the secret letter from Mu Jin's hand, and frowned when he took a look at it.

At this time, Mu Jin staggered towards the stable in a daze. Her first reaction was to go to Yanmen Pass to find her father and brother. She almost tripped because she took one step forward and one step lightly.

Her face was pale and her eyes trembled. Thinking of the elder brother who was the first one to give her warmth when she first came to Dongyue Kingdom, tears began to fall from her eyes.

As she walked, she murmured, "Brother, wait for me, I will go to Yanmen Pass now and kill Beiqi Gou to save you..."

Su Yi couldn't help but panic when he saw Mu Jin like this. The tears that Mu Jin shed were like sharp thorns piercing his heart.

He took a few steps forward and hugged Mu Jin: "Ajin, calm down first. It won't be too late to go after I send someone to figure it out."

But how could Mu Jin calm down and listen to Su Yi's words at this moment? She struggled hard and said, "Let me go. By the time you figure it out, my brother might be gone."

Mu Jin wanted to push Su Yi away, but Su Yi held her tightly. She glared at Su Yi with her bloodshot eyes.

"Let me go. Who are you to me? What do I want to do? What do you have to do with me? Why do you keep pestering me? Tell me, I have hated you since the first time I met you. Get out of here! Otherwise, I will be rude to you."

Su Yi knew that Mu Jin had never liked him, but hearing these words from Mu Jin's mouth for the first time was as painful as being chopped by thousands of sharp swords.

He said to Mu Jin loudly with anger and heartache: "Mu Jin, I will tell you why I have been pestering you time and time again. It is because I fell in love with you the first time I saw you."

Mu Jin didn't listen and continued to struggle.

"Can you calm down and use your brain? How can a woman like you save people? How powerful are you? Can you be more powerful than your father, the general who fought on the battlefield all his life? If even he can't do anything, you will just die if you go!"

Mu Jin suddenly lost her focus after hearing what Su Yi said. She cried, "Then what should I do? Just hide here and watch my elder brother's life and death unknown, and do nothing?"

Su Yi comforted him, "Calm down first, and don't be so pessimistic. The reason why the Beiqi Kingdom went back on its word and took the lead in provoking the war was simply because the snowstorm last year made their lives difficult."

"They captured our Dongyue general just to get some food, money and cities. If they have some plans, there must be room for negotiation."

Mu Jin looked at Su Yi with red eyes and shook her head, saying, "But this time, Dongyue Kingdom sent Su Yuntian as a peace envoy, so I divorced him. He wanted to make everyone in my Mu family die. How could he really save my brother?"

"Even if he didn't go, the emperor has long been disgusted with our Mu family and wants to find fault with us. How could he waste money on someone he has long wanted to kill?"

Su Yi wiped the tears for Mu Jia and said, "Ajin, I promise you that as long as Mu Yan is not dead, I will definitely bring him back to you. If you are worried and insist on going, no matter if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, or a net of heaven and earth, I will accompany you to rescue Mu Yan."

Mu Jin looked at Su Yi with tears in her eyes as he smiled gently at her. For some reason, that smile was like a ray of warm sunshine, which suddenly soothed Mu Jin's restless heart.
