Appointing a General as a Concubine: Where Can General Xiao Escape?

"I want to send you to Marshal Murong in Hanqueling to gain some experience. Are you willing to go?"

"Marshal Murong? Let's not talk about whether I'm willing or not. Even if I am willing, he may not accept it."

Xiao Mo smiled faintly: "He is my uncle, my mother Murong Shu's biological brother. As long as you are willing, nothing else will be a problem."

Shen Hanzhou pulled the corners of his mouth bitterly, looking away evasively: "If that's what the lady wants, then of course I agree."

Xiao Mo pursed her lips tightly, and hesitated several times before she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm sorry, this happened because of me, but I was unable to protect you."

"Miss, don't say that. It's me who's useless. I can't protect you and I've caused you a lot of trouble."

"If you continue to stay with me, something will happen sooner or later. Since Qi Yue has relented, you should take this opportunity to train yourself and become a mighty general in the future. Then anyone who wants to bully you will have to think twice before doing so."

What Xiao Mo said was very heartwarming, and Shen Hanzhou, who was feeling guilty and distressed, immediately opened up his heart.

He laughed out loud from the bottom of his heart: "Miss, you are right. My current identity is useless except for causing trouble for you."

Seeing that he took her words to heart, Xiao Mo was very relieved.

"Miss, is the only reason you asked me to go to Hanqueling to protect me?" Shen Hanzhou took a sip of tea, lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice.

"What else? What other reason could there be?" Xiao Mo asked in confusion.

"Then, can I ask you a question?" He cautiously tried again.

Xiao Mo frowned slightly and nodded for him to ask.

He did not immediately ask what was in his mind, but remained silent for a long time before looking up at Xiao Mo with a smile.

"I mean, I'll talk to Yun'er. You just need to tell her that I'm going on a long trip."

Xiao Mo stood up and gave him a curved smile: "Okay, you should rest early, I'll leave first."

Watching her leaving, Shen Hanzhou clenched his fists, suddenly stood up and called her: "Miss, I want to ask you, before in the palace, I kissed you, did you blame me in your heart..."

Xiao Mo was startled by his words, and her raised hand stopped in mid-air, but she quickly put it down.

"No." She answered simply.

Shen Hanzhou gritted his teeth, walked forward and stood behind her. He wanted to reach out and hug her, but then realized that this was against the rules.

Xiao Mo saw him raise and lower his hands, turned around and looked at him: "What's wrong?"

"No..." He lowered his head and shook it slightly, then added: "You are the noble daughter of the prime minister, and you don't care about being kissed by a vulgar servant like me. Is it because I..." Not worthy?

He didn't dare to say the last three words, but according to his words, Xiao Mo guessed something.

She slowly frowned, tilted her head and stared at his face: "What are you thinking about? Then let me ask you, did you do this on purpose?"

Shen Hanzhou shook his head repeatedly: "No, it was not my intention to offend the young lady."

"That's right, why should I be angry if you didn't do it on purpose? Besides, you were drugged because of me."

Xiao Mo explained softly, and suddenly noticed two blushes on the cheeks of the man in front of her.

Could it be that was also his first kiss? Could it be that he was really like what Qi Yue said!

She didn't mean to look down on him, it's just that she didn't have any thoughts about him in that regard at all.

"Okay, don't think too much. I'm not angry because you didn't mean to. If you did it on purpose, I would still be angry."

Shen Hanzhou lowered his eyes and looked at Xiao Mo who was so close to him, and almost lost in thought again.

After hearing her words, he pulled the corners of his mouth with a mixture of happiness and disappointment: "In this case, I feel relieved."

Xiao Mo noticed his mood, said "Go to bed early" and turned to walk towards the door.

But before she could take two steps, the door was pushed open by Shen Yun from outside.

Although she was a little shocked when she saw Xiao Mo for the first time, she quickly reacted.

"Miss, it's a little late today?" Shen Yun walked into the house with a smile, and did not forget to hold Xiao Mo's hand and walk in together.

"I bought some snacks, come and try them, miss! They're delicious."

She put the things on the table and considerately opened a separate copy for Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo glanced at Shen Hanzhou, smiled, and walked over to sit down. "Madam asked you to go to the cloth shop to get some cloth. Why are you back so late?"

"Hehehe, when I was passing by Changjie, I was attracted by the performance on the street, so I was delayed for a while."

Shen Yun answered a little shyly, but Xiao Mo never blamed her for such things.

But she still said something serious to her: "Don't stay outside after dark. Even though you have some martial arts skills, it's still unsafe for a girl."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Hanzhou echoed, "Madam asked you to go get the cloth, and you came back after getting it. Why are you playing outside? What if you run into a bad guy?"

Shen Yun's face flushed red after what the two of them said. Xiao Mo originally thought that Shen Hanzhou would not say anything after she told him, but now she was being accused of feeling wronged.

She pursed her lips and smiled, then gently pulled her into her arms and comforted her softly, "I know you like being lively, but it's really not safe to be alone. I'll take you with me every time I go out, okay?"

"Yes! Miss is the best to me!" Shen Yun looked up at Xiao Mo and hugged her back tightly.

Shen Hanzhou was sitting aside and was very pleased to see this scene.

With such a good master like Xiao Mo, he felt at ease leaving Shen Yun here alone.

Seeing that the two of them were in good spirits, he coughed lightly and said to Shen Yun: "Yun'er, I will be leaving here in two days. After I leave, you must listen to the young lady more and not just cause trouble."

These sudden words left Shen Yun unresponsive for a moment.

She gently sat up from Xiao Mo's arms and looked at Shen Hanzhou in confusion: "Where are you going?"

"Hanqueling, guarded by the young lady's uncle Marshal Murong, is recruiting soldiers. I want to go there to gain some experience." Shen Hanzhou explained to Shen Yun while looking at Xiao Mo.

Shen Yun suspected that she had heard correctly, and frowned as she asked again, "Hanqueling is a thousand miles away from here. Why did you go so far away to train? What will I do if you leave?"

"If you want, you can come with me."

Shen Hanzhou spoke seriously, and his eyes were particularly firm, which made Shen Yun understand at once that his determination was not just talk.

She turned to look at Xiao Mo in a panic, wanting her to help persuade him: "Miss, look at him, what good is there in such a far and difficult place?"

Xiao Mo held Shen Yun's hand helplessly and said, "This is your brother's own choice. We shouldn't stop him. He has the right to choose how to live his life."
