The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

Chapter 28 First acquaintance

Where is this? Su Lun stared at the bed curtain above his head, and belatedly realized that he seemed to be saved, but his mind was still groggy, and he tried hard to recall what had happened before. After a while, some memory fragments began to piece together, and he suddenly realized something. He was startled and sat up abruptly: "Thank you, Master!"

However, because he stood up too quickly, the wound on his body was pulled, and a sharp pain came over him, making him grimace in pain.

Seeing this, the guards at the side hurried forward to support him and gently comforted him: "Don't get excited, Master Su, you are still injured."

"Master Su is awake!"

"Hey, you finally woke up!"

Two screams rang out at the same time, coming from two different directions in the room. Su Lun looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a guard standing by the bed, holding him and gently comforting him: "Mr. Su, don't get excited, you are still injured." Another girl in red got up from the table and ran over.

In the blink of an eye, the girl in red had come to the bed. Her face was filled with a happy smile, and her bright eyes looked at Su Lun curiously. Su Lun looked at the strange girl in red in front of him and recalled his last memory before he fainted. At that time, he only vaguely saw a piece of red clothes. He must have been saved by this girl.

"Thank you for saving my life, young lady. I wonder if Mr. Xie who was with me is safe?" Su Lun asked with gratitude, with a hint of barely perceptible nervousness in his eyes.

Xiao An Ning laughed heartily and consoled, "Are you talking about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Don't worry, His Royal Highness is safe. On the contrary, you should not be so impulsive just after waking up. You need to rest well now, and it's not too late to worry about other things after you recover." Her tone was light-hearted and cheerful, with the coquettishness unique to a young girl.

Upon learning that Xie Tianlin was safe, Su Lun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground: "I don't know what your name is, young lady, and where this place is. I will repay you for saving my life one day." As soon as he said this, he felt that something seemed inappropriate. After all, in ancient times, asking a woman's name was not very polite. But since things had come to this point, it was not easy to take it back, so he had to continue speaking tactfully.

"This is the Jinzhou prefectural government's residence. I am Xiao An Ning, the second daughter of the Great General's residence. There's no need to repay you. How about you compete with me when your injury has healed?" Xiao An Ning's voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of joy, and the smile on her face was even brighter.

Su Lun couldn't help but be a little surprised. It was rare to see such a cheerful woman in this era. He looked at the bright and charming Xiao An Ning in front of him, and a feeling of admiration arose in his heart.

"Second sister, don't be rude." At this time, another female voice sounded. Xiao Anya saw that her sister gave her name without thinking and openly invited a strange man to fight, so she couldn't help but remind her.

Su Lun looked in the direction of the voice and found that there was another woman in the room. The two women looked somewhat similar, but their temperaments were very different. Xiao Anning was lively and agile, while this woman looked dignified and quiet. At this moment, she came over with a graceful figure and light steps, her beautiful eyes full of concern, and asked softly: "Mr. Su, I hope you don't mind my rudeness. I wonder how you feel now? Are you feeling any discomfort? If you need anything, just ask, don't be polite."

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Xiao. I'm fine, but I promised before to escort His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to Beijing safely. Now that something like this has happened, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fulfill my promise..." There was a hint of loneliness and helplessness in Su Lun's voice.

Miss Xiao smiled and consoled him, "Master Su, don't worry about this matter. You should focus on recuperating your health first. As for the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, let the General's Mansion be responsible for it. If you are willing, can you set off with us to the capital tomorrow?"

"Yes, since you are so capable, come with us to Beijing." Xiao An Ning who was standing aside quickly agreed.

Su Lun hesitated for a moment and said, "But my health is really not good enough, I'm afraid it will cause trouble to you..."

Xiao An Ning quickly waved her hands and said anxiously: "Oh, don't hesitate any longer! You were injured just to save His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How can you say it's a trouble? It's not a trouble at all!" She spoke sincerely and her eyes were firm, as if she was looking forward to Su Lun going to the capital with her.

Xiao Anya smiled softly and covered her lips. "Second sister is right. Young Master Su saved Your Highness this time, which is equivalent to saving the Dashun Kingdom and the General's Mansion. We should be grateful, why should we be annoyed?"

Hearing this, Su Lun blushed slightly, and replied shyly: "Thank you for not abandoning me, Su Lun will be happy to go."

"That's great!" Xiao An Ning clapped her hands excitedly, then turned to Su Lun and said with concern, "Then you just rest well here, I'll ask someone to bring you some food." Before she finished her words, she rushed out like a gust of wind.

Seeing this, Xiao Anya couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth and laughed softly: "My second sister has always been outspoken and generous. I hope you won't be offended if I have offended you. You can rest for a while. I'll go see if the medicine has been prepared. Xiao Yu, you take good care of me here." After that, she also walked out of the house.

"Yes, Miss, take care." The guard Xiao Yu at the side replied respectfully and bowed slightly.

"Mr. Su, let me help you lie down. Please be careful with your wound." Xiao Yu looked at Su Lun with concern and said softly.

"I dare not trouble Lord Xiao. I feel much better now and can move on my own." Su Lun refused a little embarrassedly. Although he was not clear about the specific identity of the man in front of him, as the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, how dare he let someone from the general's mansion serve him?

"Mr. Su, you are too polite! These are just my responsibilities. My first priority is to take good care of you." Xiao Yu answered in a serious tone. It turned out that he was a personal guard of the General's Mansion, and three generations of his family had served the General's Mansion loyally. Xiao Hua, the general manager of the General's Mansion, happened to be his grandfather; and his father Xiao Ting, when he was still young, followed the great general Xiao Yi to go to war, and unfortunately died on the battlefield. The Xiao family has always been very caring for the two of them, and Xiao Yu himself is even more loyal to the General's Mansion. At this moment, he silently told himself in his heart: The eldest lady asked me to take good care of Mr. Su, so I naturally have to do it wholeheartedly and meticulously.

"Then I'll trouble you, Lord Xiao. I just have an unreasonable request. I'm just a country bumpkin with limited knowledge and little understanding. I don't know your identity. If I have offended you, Lord Xiao, I hope you can forgive me and give me some advice." Su Lun said earnestly.

Xiao Yu looked at Su Lun with some surprise. Although he looked pale, he was handsome, skilled in martial arts, and his speech and behavior were very decent. He originally thought that he was a young master from a noble family!

"Mr. Su, don't worry. My two young ladies are gentle, kind, approachable and very easy to get along with. Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also praises you highly, so you must not underestimate yourself." Xiao Yu comforted with a smile.

Just as the two were talking, Xiao An Ning walked in quickly with a little maid holding a tray.

"Mr. Su, Commander Xiao, what are you talking about? I brought you some food." Xiao Anning said with a smile. Her voice was clear and pleasant, like a yellow oriole singing in a valley, making people feel happy.
