They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

Wu Ziyan's hand stealthily moved towards Han Yuxiu, and when two of her fingers touched his fingertips, he angrily pulled away.

Wu Ziyan didn't care whether he wanted to hug her waist or not. She buried her head in his lap and looked at him with a cute and innocent expression: "It's not good to do this in broad daylight. Look, my neck is all red."

Han Yuxiu looked down at Wu Ziyan, who was curled up on his lap. He lowered his head further and further, and Wu Ziyan thought he was going to kiss her again, but then she realized that Han Yuxiu had leaned close to her ear and said, "So, do you like it?"

Her thumb was flexed, her face flushed red, and even her earlobes turned red. She never expected that Han Yuxiu would play a trick on her.

Han Yuxiu hadn't expected that a woman like her could be so shy. Moreover, based on the rumors he'd heard, Wu Ziyan was the kind of person who spent all her time surrounded by men and had a constant stream of new lovers. He had thought she was a very mature and reserved person.

Unexpectedly, she turned into a quail just like that. It seems that rumors cannot be believed. She is not the kind of person who has been through many battles. Her usual state is probably just an act.

Having come this far, Han Yuxiu became even bolder: "Can you tell me? How many men do you have?"

Wu Ziyan: ? Huh?

[No, no, no, this is a female-centric story, how can I be so timid? No way!]

I, Ziyan, thought that I should still keep the initiative in my own hands and not let Han Yuxiu control me so easily, but now I felt weak in my limbs, and even when I hooked my arms around Han Yuxiu's neck, I couldn't exert any strength.

Instead, Han Yuxiu thought she was being coquettish, and her eyes were sparkling. Han Yuxiu gently kissed the tip of her ear: "Answer me."

His words now seemed to possess a magical power. Wu Ziyan bit her lip: "Lingchuan, one..."

Upon hearing this answer, Han Yuxiu burst out laughing, his eyes filled with joy. He had thought she was going to say she couldn't remember, but it turned out she only had one genuine answer.

"Is it really only one? The kind where they had a marital relationship?"

How could you ask such a question? Weren't you always so aloof and arrogant? Have you suddenly become cunning and manipulative?

"Mmm." Her head was almost hidden inside Han Yuxiu's clothes.

Han Yuxiu kissed her forehead, the tip of her nose, and slowly moved to her lips. The kisses were warm, and Wu Ziyan hugged his neck even tighter.

At that moment, she felt something hard on her back. She knew he must have a physical reaction. No, no, no, what a sin!

She wasn't thinking about that right now. What if she was accused of abducting a man? Although her reputation wasn't great before, she was trying her best to correct it now.

"Ziyan, do you like me?"

"like."

"Then let's be husband and wife here."

Wu Ziyan's mind raced. If she rejected him, her favorability rating would definitely drop significantly. But if she didn't reject him, the consequences were unimaginable.

But faced with such a handsome man, she had no sense of reason left. His teasing made her weak all over, and she was completely unable to resist his advances. She never expected that Han Yuxiu would be such a man.

Just as the two of them were already half-undressed and intertwined, an untimely knock came from outside the door, knock knock knock! Knock knock knock!

They both instantly sobered up. After separating, they both blushed and dared not look at each other. Wu Ziyan felt a little guilty and a little impatient: "Who!"

"Miss, it's me." Judging from the voice, it was the captain of the guard team. It seemed that the investigation had yielded new results.

"Go to my room and wait for me."

"Yes."

Wu Ziyan quickly picked up the clothes scattered on the bed, put them on, and then pushed her messy hair back to make herself look normal.

Looking at Han Yuxiu again, he was no longer the hungry wolf he once was. Instead, he had become like a little quail, blushing and returning to his normal appearance. He looked up, his eyes filled with resentment: "Today... just pretend nothing happened today."

Wu Ziyan: "What? You flirted with me, and now you want to shirk responsibility?"

"Shameless! No matter how much you suffer, you're still a man, okay?" His confidence waned, his voice grew softer, and finally he was just muttering to himself. Wu Ziyan leaned in and pecked him on the cheek. "I can't wait to marry you."

After saying that, she straightened her clothes and went out, closing the door behind her. She returned to her room, where the captain of the guard was standing. He never interfered with her private life.

With his hands clasped in a fist salute, ready to begin his report, Wu Ziyan patted the stool and said, "Don't be so reserved. When you're traveling, sit down and talk."

"Miss Xie." She pulled open her clothes, sat down, and began to speak slowly.

"The so-called Ada was actually Prince Adar of Beimo. However, he was always a playful person and often wandered around various places on the border instead of the capital. He was also quite good at doing business."

"It's possible they've gotten wind of something and want to probe our situation."

Wu Ziyan blinked. [Han Yuxiu's mouth must be blessed, right? He really is a prince! What he said could actually happen. No, no, no, we need to think of a way!] "The border general, Xiao Si, does she not know our identities?"

"I told you not to reveal your identity, so General Xiao didn't know either."

"Tell her quietly, otherwise he will definitely prioritize the prince over her."

"Yes, I understand. Is there anything else you need to instruct me on?"

"There shouldn't be much to do these next few days due to the sandstorm, so you should all get some rest. Keeping watch at the inn is relatively easy anyway, so don't be so tense. Once the sandstorm passes, things will probably get busy." [By the time the sandstorm passes, Fang Yuerong should have arrived, right?]

The captain of the guard clasped his hands in acceptance of the order and left the room. When he went downstairs, he walked directly in front of Xiao Si, even though she was her superior.

Xiao Si wondered what she was up to, but she directly used a code that only the military could use. Xiao Si immediately became serious, stood up, smiled at Dulan and Adal, and then went to the other side with the captain of the guard.

"I am Cao Yu, the commander of the Fourth Prince's secret guards. You must be General Xiao Si."

"This humble servant greets Commander Cao."

"Fourth Prince, we are at the border now. Keep your eyes peeled."

[Could it be that shorty? Is it really the legendary Fourth Prince? Isn't this putting me on the spot?!] "Fourth Prince, where are you now?"

"Hmph, I was having a great time playing cards with you guys just now."

Xiao Si felt as if struck by lightning. Did you know that this small inn was full of hidden talents? There was a commander of the secret guards, a prince from a neighboring country, the fourth princess of this country, and two generals stationed on the border. This was really going to be interesting.

Moreover, the prince on the other side has taken a fancy to the fourth princess's man, which is very troublesome! Besides, the royal family must have come to this border with a mission, right? Her smile froze on her face, and she even looked a little stiff.
