The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

On the third night, after riding a horse around, Li Muxia told Dongfang Jincheng about their itinerary, and they planned to set off for Xiushan County early the next morning.

Although Dongfang Jincheng really wanted to go with them, their mission was not yet complete, so they had to separate from Li Muxia and set off on their own.

However, she still took off the jade pendant she always carried and put it around Li Muxia's neck, saying, "This is a token of our love that I'm giving you. You must keep it safe and never take it off."

Li Muxia picked up the jade pendant hanging around her neck and examined it carefully. It was a safety buckle carved with dragons and phoenixes. The jade pendant was lustrous and looked very valuable. Moreover, since Dongfang Jincheng wore it close to his body, it must be something he cherished very much.

Feeling the lingering warmth of Dongfang Jincheng's body on it, Li Muxia blushed slightly, nodded, and put the jade pendant into her clothes: "I will definitely keep it safe."

Li Muxia also wanted to give Dongfang Jincheng a gift, but after searching through her clothes, she couldn't find anything valuable except some medical supplies. She looked at Dongfang Jincheng somewhat awkwardly.

Dongfang Jincheng naturally knew that Li Muxia couldn't offer a return gift right now, so he reached out and took off one of the jade hairpins that Li Muxia used to tie her hair. This was the only thing Li Muxia used to tie her hair up. Without the hairpin's restraint, her long black hair cascaded down in an instant.

Both of them were stunned for a moment. Dongfang Jincheng was also amazed by Li Muxia's appearance at this moment. He knew she was very beautiful, but now he realized that she was so beautiful without makeup that he wanted to fall in love with her.

Seeing a strand of hair fall down her cheek, hanging down beside her face, Dongfang Jincheng subconsciously reached out to help her tuck the hair behind her ear.

His fingertips brushed across her cheek, a barely perceptible touch that made her feel as if she had been burned, her cheeks quickly becoming burning hot.

Dongfang Jincheng was also taken aback. He looked at Li Muxia's delicate face, which was now covered with blush. Her eyes, which were as bright as the Milky Way, were now filled with moisture. She looked at him, and her bright red lips seemed to be extending an invitation to him, slightly parted.

It felt as if the temperature around me was rising.

He seemed mesmerized, bending down and slowly approaching Li Muxia.

As they drew closer, Li Muxia could feel their breaths mingling. She knew what was about to happen, and she wasn't opposed to it.

But I still closed my eyes out of fear.

When they felt a cool and soft touch on their lips, their hearts skipped a beat.

He didn't linger for long, pulling away from her lips in an instant. Although he wanted to continue, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself and would frighten his girlfriend.

Although the kiss was brief, it stirred emotions in both of them.

Li Muxia waited until the warm breath was far away before daring to open her eyes to look at him. As a result, she met those tender and affectionate eyes. She could see the deep affection in those eyes, without the slightest concealment, as turbulent as the sea.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to look away.

Suppressing his desire, Dongfang Jincheng held Li Muxia in his arms. He simply held her, making no other moves.

They held her for a very long time, until they felt her coolness, before finally taking Li Muxia back to the inn.

He lay in bed, stroking the jade hairpin, and didn't sleep a wink all night.

The next morning, Li Muxia and his two disciples prepared to set off, and Dongfang Jincheng was waiting at the door early in the morning.

Sensing the reluctance in Dongfang Jincheng's eyes, Li Muxia also felt a pang of longing. After all, what lovers fear most is separation.

The two of them didn't show much emotion, and there were two big third wheels around them.

After a brief farewell, the group set off. Only after Li Muxia's carriage had completely disappeared from his sight did Dongfang Jincheng turn his gaze away and say to the air, "Arrange for someone to protect you secretly."

Secretly, Zhu Feng accepted the order and quietly left without alerting anyone.

Changping County and Xiushan County are not far apart, so Li Muxia and his group arrived in two days.

They did not stay in Xiushan County for too long this time.

The eldest master had gone to guard the snake's den a month in advance.

As soon as they arrived in Xiushan County, their master received a letter from their eldest uncle, saying that the weather had cooled down very quickly this year, and that the temperature had already dropped in the snake cave. It was estimated that the snakes in the snake cave would go into hibernation in less than a month, and that they should go there as soon as possible.

The three of them only spent one day resting in Xiushan County. Li Muxia didn't even have time to alter her clothes, and hurriedly bought two sets of ready-made clothes.

Just as they left Xiushan County, Dongfang Jincheng and his companion rushed there, hoping to see Li Muxia. However, after inquiring around, they learned that Li Muxia had already left. Dongfang Jincheng couldn't hide his disappointment. This was their last stop; he didn't know when they would meet again.

Li Muxia's side has already left the Eastern Kingdom and entered the territory of the Dragon Soaring Kingdom.

The three were traveling on the official road connecting the two countries when they unexpectedly encountered the situation they were in.

"I planted this tree, I opened this road; if you want to pass, leave your toll."

What a familiar opening line.

Li Muxia never expected that the first people they encountered in Longteng Kingdom would be bandits—what a melodramatic plot!

The three drivers shielded the three of them behind them. Li Muxia looked at the dozen or so bandits opposite them, then at her own group of six, only two of whom knew some martial arts. Suddenly, she missed her boyfriend who was skilled in martial arts.

However, when things happen, you can't just rely on others; you have to rely on yourself for everything.

Li Muxia looked at the twenty-odd burly men opposite her, their faces contorted with menacing expressions. She felt a headache coming on.

The bandit leader on the other side didn't expect that after robbing a caravan, he would get another robbery on the way back.

Looking at the group, he thought to himself: There are several large boxes on that carriage behind, there must be a lot of good stuff. Moreover, he had his eye on those two pretty boys, and he was going to present them to his boss when he got back. He never expected to get three handsome men today.

Thinking of this, he glanced at his own team. He had just caught two more extremely handsome men, and now two more had been delivered to him. What incredible luck had Fat Tiger had today?

Li Muxia and the others also noticed the bound man in the crowd. Although he was being held captive, his aura and the nonchalant smile on his lips made him seem completely out of place, unlike someone who had been kidnapped. Ignoring the ropes binding him, one might mistake him for a sightseeing tourist.

Bai Qingshi and Dongfang Jingye both held poison in their hands, ready to kill any bandits who dared to approach.

Li Muxia was protected at the back by several people. Seeing the actions of her master and senior brother, she naturally knew what they were going to do. They really didn't need to be afraid of these bandits; the poison they had was enough to give them a hard time.

These bandits were clearly used to killing and robbing, and Li Muxia showed them no mercy.

However, the bandits on the other side were holding a man tied up, and they were afraid that innocent people would be hurt if a fight broke out.
