"Brother Mu Xun!"

Meng Zhu, who was sitting there in a daze, was a little frightened. She was afraid that after so many years, she would not be able to recognize her brother Mu Xun. She was also afraid that her brother Mu Xun had changed and would no longer treat her as his sister. She was afraid that the two of them would never be able to return to the friendship they had in their childhood.

But it was all groundless worry. When Mu Xun appeared at the corner, Meng Zhu recognized him at a glance. His curly hair and light blue eyes were exactly the same as when he was a child, and he also looked like his aunt and mother. Without hesitation, she called his name and ran towards him.

Mu Xun also opened his arms and hugged Meng Zhu tacitly, patting her back gently to comfort her, and whispered in her ear: "It's okay, it's okay, brother is here."

"Brother Mu Xun." As soon as Meng Zhu called out, his longing for his aunt, his mother, and his lost childhood, all the grievances he had suffered over the years burst out.

Wan Ning and Wan Tao stood behind them, watching them reunite quietly. She had never seen Meng Zhu so childish. When she was with Mu Xiu, she was also dependent, but not like this. After a while, Mu Xun reacted, hugged Meng Zhu and walked to Wan Ning and said, "It's not safe here, come with me."

Wan Ning watched him walk in another direction with Meng Zhu from behind, and she took Wan Tao's arm and chased after them, asking, "Slow down, where are you going?"

There was no sign of him, but his voice could be heard replying, "You'll know when you follow me."

"What's the plan?" Although Wan Ning complained, she still followed behind him obediently.

Finally, they came to a remote suburban site, with weeds all over the ground and no one around. Wan Ning couldn't bear to disturb the siblings from reminiscing about the past, so she found a big tree, flattened the weeds underneath, spread a piece of cloth and sat down, and then pulled Wan Tao, who was standing beside, to sit with her. Although Wan Tao was not happy, she couldn't resist Wan Ning's enthusiasm: "Sit down, they haven't seen each other for so many years, and there's so much to talk about that they don't know when they will end. Wan Tao, just sit down and wait, you can just take a nap at worst."

Wan Tao then sat down next to Wan Ning. They watched in tacit understanding as Mu Xun and Meng Zhu walked around the river countless times, until the sun rose from the beginning to the highest point in the sky. Wan Ning suddenly woke up, yawned, and asked Wan Tao beside her, "How many laps?"

"Twenty-five laps."

Wan Ning yawned again and rested her head on Wan Tao's back. They both looked at them with tenderness and even some envy as they walked around the river and talked: "So many years and so many things, there are indeed many things to talk about, but don't they get tired?"

Wan Tao smiled and said silently: "If I could see my old brother again, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to finish talking about it even if I were given three days and three nights."

At this time, Wan Ning didn't understand what she meant. She just felt that it was really tiring to sit here and watch for three days and three nights! At this time, Meng Zhu waved to Wan Tao, and the two of them walked towards them. The smiles on their faces made bystanders feel happy.

Mu Xun sent Wan Tao and Meng Zhu away, and sat next to Wan Ning. He held Wan Ning who was about to get up and said to her, "Thank you. Meng Zhu said you took good care of her."

Wan Ning looked back in surprise and was about to get up again, jokingly saying, "Wow, the curly-haired puppy can say thank you. Today it's not evil fleece, but kindness fleece. You're welcome. I'm taking care of Meng Zhu not just for your sake."

"Someone wants to attack Meng Zhu. Please be more careful." Mu Xun did not refute. Instead, his inexplicable words made Wan Ning freeze there and sit back.

After a while, she came to her senses and asked, "Who wants to attack Mengzhu, Tumo or Chuguo?"

Mu Xun shook his head and replied dejectedly: "Tu Mo, I overheard it by chance, but I have no evidence and I don't know who is behind it. It is likely that they will do it in Chu State."

"Chu State?" Wan Ning's brain worked quickly. Although Meng Zhu was a hostage, she came here for marriage in name only. If someone attacked her, wouldn't that mean they wanted to destroy the existing peace and stability? "Could it be to attack Ziheng?"

"What did you say?" Mu Xun didn't hear clearly.

"Nothing, I'm just wondering who is behind this." Wan Ning made up an excuse.

"I will return to Tumo in a few days. I will conduct a thorough investigation then. Please take care of Mengzhu." He turned his head and showed a rare expression of trust.

Wan Ning already had a good impression of Meng Zhu, so she naturally would not refuse such a request. She promised: "Don't worry, I will take good care of her as long as I am here for one day."

The two smiled at each other, and Mu Xun stood up and stretched out his hand to Wan Ning, wanting to pull her up. Wan Ning hesitated and shook his hand, and the two smiled and put aside their grudges, but just before Wan Ning could fully stand up, Mu Xun suddenly let go of his hand, causing her to fall to the ground and squat on her butt.

Wan Ning was so hurt that tears were about to come out. She felt that Mu Xun was playing a trick on her, so she cursed angrily: "Fuck you, you curly-haired dog, you dare to play tricks on me..."

"Shh, someone is coming, hide quickly." Mu Xun pushed Wan Ning behind a tree, and then ran towards Meng Zhu and Wan Tao without hesitation.

The sound of horse hooves in the distance was getting closer and closer, and gradually became clearer. The image of a young man riding a horse with a heroic figure rising and falling against the sun gradually appeared in front of him. Wan Ning looked closely and saw that there was a "wild horse" running wildly in front of the boy at a very fast speed, and it was seen rushing towards Mengzhu.

The young man in the distance was about to stand up on his horse, waving his hands and shouting anxiously: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! It's dangerous! Get out of the way!"

Seeing that it was too late to catch up, Mu Xun on the other side took out a dagger to determine the position of the horse, and threw the dagger to kill the horse to save Meng Zhu when it was necessary. At the critical moment, Meng Zhu dodged in time when the horse rushed over, and quickly grabbed the horse's reins and ran with it. Seeing the right opportunity, Meng Zhu jumped on the horse and tried to adapt to the horse's ups and downs. The silver-white pony was obviously not used to being controlled by someone, so it ran and tumbled more violently, using all its strength to try to get rid of her.

Wan Ning ran to Mu Xun anxiously, looking at the back of the horse taking Meng Zhu away, and urged: "Go and save Meng Zhu quickly, don't stand here posing, it will be too late if you are late."

Unlike Wan Ning's panic, Mu Xun was very calm, with his hands behind his back, watching Meng Zhu tumbling on the horse. He showed a gratified expression and said, "Don't forget, Meng Zhu is still a princess on the grassland. She can tame a wild horse at the age of three. She can do it!"

Wan Ning was still worried and looked in Mengzhu's direction frequently. At this time, the young man rode a tall horse and galloped past. The passing wind blew up the dust on the ground and made it fly under the dazzling sunlight. The young man had grown up, with both the immaturity of a young man and the freshness of a grown-up.

"Su He?" Wan Ning murmured.

Mu Xun at the side turned his head to look at her and asked, "Do you know him?"

Wan Ning did not answer him, but saw Meng Zhu had tamed the directionless horse and commanded it to turn back. At this time, Meng Zhu happened to pass by the young man, and the two turned their heads to look at each other tacitly, with unbelievable joy in their eyes.

Only then did Wan Ning answer Mu Xun's question: "We know him. We all know him. Curly-haired puppy, you are going to have a brother-in-law!"
