The situation in Jiangzhou was extremely serious. Ever since Yun Qing received the news on the way, he had been so busy that he was not seen all day.

They would arrive in Jiangzhou in less than a day. Mu Qingcheng sat alone in the carriage bored all the way, and Su Qingyan had to take care of Su Chenxi. The two of them only spoke a few words when the carriage stopped to rest.

Even Liu Liu didn't know what he was busy with. He was nowhere to be seen all day long, and when he occasionally showed up, he looked exhausted.

Yun Qing couldn't even see his shadow. Mu Qingcheng knew how difficult it was for Yun Qing now, so she didn't want to cause him any trouble since she couldn't help.

The swaying carriage made the passengers drowsy, and suddenly the carriage stopped.

Before Mu Qingcheng could come to her senses, the door opened and Yun Qing had already walked into the carriage. He sat directly next to Mu Qingcheng, hugged her in his arms, and rested his head on the crook of her neck.

"Yun Qing?"

"Hmm~"

He just hummed once and then had no response. Mu Qingcheng turned around and looked again, and he was already asleep.

"How long has it been since you last slept? You really treat yourself like a beast of burden..."

The carriage continued to sway forward, and Mu Qingcheng could only painfully let Yun Qing lean his whole body on him so that he could sleep comfortably. She also hugged his waist tightly to prevent him from sliding to the ground.

Soon, Mu Qingcheng fell asleep herself.

After an unknown amount of time, she felt an itch on her face. She reached out to scratch it, but she touched another hand instead.

She opened her blurry eyes and met a pair of affectionate eyes: "Why are you awake? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Yun Qing raised the corner of his mouth into a beautiful arc. He rubbed Mu Qingcheng's shoulders and neck lazily, like a lazy cat: "I have been sleeping for almost two hours."

He lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked out. "We're already outside Jiangzhou City. I don't plan to go into the city tonight. There's an inn ahead. Let's stay there tonight and go into the city tomorrow."

Mu Qingcheng also glanced out the window. It was still early, why not go into the city early?

Yun Qing saw her confusion and said, "There are too many people. We need to go in batches and pay attention to safety. So we should stay outside the city first and enter the city after arrangements are made."

Mu Qingcheng also thought of their group. It was like a big gathering. If this was a book, then the protagonist and supporting characters would all be together.

Not to mention the big devil Mingyuan, Ning Huiying's identity cannot be revealed in advance.

When Yun Qing said this, his expression became a little gloomy, and Mu Qingcheng knew that something was wrong with him.

"What's wrong, Yunqing, has something happened again?"

Yun Qing suppressed the bitterness in her heart and said, "I plan to let Feng Zhishang perform surgery on Su Chenxi tomorrow, right here at the post station!"

Mu Qingcheng frowned: "Why don't you go into the city?"

Yun Qing reached out to smooth her brows with a heartache: "The city is too complicated and unsafe. I don't want you to enter the city."

Mu Qingcheng was silent for a moment. Yun Qing was very nervous. He was afraid that she would be unhappy and not agree.

But unexpectedly, Mu Qingcheng actually agreed. She knew Yun Qing's difficulties and didn't want Yun Qing to be distracted and have to take care of her.

"Okay! The city is indeed unsafe, but isn't the post station too close to Jiangzhou City? Isn't that also unsafe?"

Yun Qing naturally knew that if it weren't for the situation, he wouldn't have the heart to keep her.

"I will leave enough people here to guard it. Liuliu will be back soon and will stay by your side every step of the way. Zijin and Zipei have already arrived in Jiangzhou City. I will send someone to bring them here tomorrow."

"So, how long will we stay at the post station?"

Yun Qing thought for a long time before saying, "Wait three to five days! When Su Chenxi's leg is better, why don't you go to Shouchun together to have some fun? Shouchun is also a nice place. I heard that the siblings are discussing the relocation of the graves. I advise them to go to Shouchun first. After all, there are still some members of the Su family there."

Mu Qingcheng stared with her big eyes and asked, "You want me to leave Jiangzhou? Is Jiangzhou no longer safe?"

"Silly girl, you're overthinking it. The Pei family army has already stopped Duan Qingzhou's troops in Haizhou. Besides, Duan Qingzhou doesn't want to rebel. He was forced into a desperate situation!"

Mu Qingcheng understood: "Is it because of Mu Yao and her brother?"

Yun Qing: "Yes, both sides are looking for their whereabouts."

Mu Qingcheng was worried about Mu Yao: "Will this put them in greater danger?"

Yun Qing shook his head slightly: "Duan Qingzhou must have made a deal with Emperor Yong'an. Emperor Yong'an would never do such a drastic thing. If they and their siblings are in any danger, Duan Qingzhou might turn against him."

"What about the court?"

"They have no legitimate reason to send a large army, so a small force is nothing to be afraid of. Even if things don't work out for me, I still have Yu Haifeng. Don't worry, go to Shouchun for a couple of days! Maybe everything will be resolved by the time you come back."

Mu Qingcheng stared deeply into his eyes. Her voice was slightly low, with a hint of worry: "Yun Qing, isn't it time for you to return to Beijing? The longer you stay outside, the more dangerous it will be!"

Yun Qing's heart sank. He knew the journey back to Beijing was fraught with danger, but he also had his own concerns. He was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "The journey back is even more dangerous, so..."

However, before he could finish his words, Mu Qingcheng suddenly covered his mouth with her hand. Mu Qingcheng's eyes were fixed on him, as if she could see through all his thoughts. She asked softly, "Do you want me to stay here and wait for you to come back?"

Yun Qing quickly shook his head and wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Mu Qingcheng: "Don't talk!"

Mu Qingcheng's eyes became more gentle. She gently stroked Yun Qing's cheek and said softly, "I know your difficulties, and I am willing to wait for you. However, I hope we can face these difficulties together instead of worrying about each other. Even if you build Jiangzhou into an iron road, will I really be safe if I stay here?"

That's true. He doesn't have that many people, so not letting Mu Qingcheng follow him is just empty talk.

Mu Qingcheng continued, "I'm not afraid of danger. As long as I can be with you, I can overcome any difficulty. Moreover, I believe we can definitely get through this difficult time."

Yun Qing was deeply moved. Seeing Mu Qingcheng's resolute gaze, his worries gradually dissipated. He took a deep breath, finally made up his mind, and said, "Nuannuan! In the future, maybe three years, maybe five years, we will all live this kind of life of wandering... So, let's get married!"

Mu Qingcheng never concealed her affection for Yun Qing. She pressed her lips against Yun Qing's, feeling his warmth without stopping. She brushed her lips across his cheek and turned to his ear, whispering softly, "Then it will be as you wish!"

Yun Qing's heart immediately became hot. He found the naughty lips and kissed them passionately.
