Qin Zhi's slapping hand fell empty, and a sharp sword with a cold light was suddenly placed on her shoulder.

"I didn't expect that this noble lady in the capital who claims to be from a famous family would be so arrogant and domineering."

The cold voice with a hint of anger came from behind Yun Wu.

The tip of the sword was right next to Qin Zhi's neck, frightening her to the point that her whole body stiffened.

Yun Wu was stunned. Although she hadn't heard this familiar voice for a full year, she could still hear it.

She turned her head slightly and looked up, her eyes slightly dilated, and she felt like her breathing had stopped.

It's Gu Xingran.

He was still wearing armor, as if he had just arrived in the capital. The military uniform made him tall and strong, with black hair and a high crown. Although his skin was tanned, it did not affect his appearance at all.

On the contrary, it has added a bit of heroic spirit for galloping on the battlefield. Compared with a year ago, it is actually a bit more handsome, with a face as handsome as a crown jade.

The ladies around were attracted, and even the young men in the lobby next door also came over.

Qin Zhi stiffened and looked at the man holding a sword across her neck.

No matter how good-looking he was, this time he made her look embarrassed in front of everyone. She was furious but didn't dare to act rashly, so she could only scold harshly:

"How dare you! You dare to break into the eldest princess's mansion with a sword, and threaten me! Do you know who I am -"

"Be impudent! Don't be rude to the Major General!"

The eldest princess's slightly rich voice sounded, and she strode in from outside the door. She was a bit wrinkled but still graceful and noble. She was a middle-aged woman with an especially heroic and solemn air.

Everyone who saluted the eldest princess in unison realized that the handsome man who suddenly broke in was actually the now popular General Gu!

Qin Zhi was also stunned. She was so frightened by the sword beside her neck that she started to tremble.

Gu Xingran slowly put the sword back, and Qin Zhi's legs softened and she knelt on the ground.

"How unbecoming... Come on, take her down."

The eldest princess frowned slightly and looked at Qin Zhi and said. Soon someone came forward and took the frightened Qin Zhi away.

The eldest princess looked at Gu Xingran again. Because she had been on the battlefield when she was young, she particularly liked Gu Xingran, a junior who was really formidable.

"The young general has made a triumphant return today. It is your great honor to attend the banquet at my palace."

Yun Wu took advantage of this moment and quickly left Gu Xingran's side, standing aside with her eyes lowered.

Gu Xingran's sudden arrival made her a little overwhelmed, and she clenched her hands helplessly.

Gu Xingran's dark eyes were fixed on Yun Wu, and he tried his best to resist the urge to go up and get close to her.

He put away his sword and raised his hand to bow to the eldest princess:

"I came here uninvited so that I could see the people I miss on the battlefield earlier."

"Oh?"

The eldest princess suddenly became interested, and looked in Yun Wu's direction with kind eyes.

There were many people around, and everyone was curious about this young general who had made great achievements.

Gu Xingran looked at Yun Wu, his dark eyes filled with various emotions. He pursed his thin lips and said hoarsely:

"Ah Wu, long time no see..."

Everyone around them pricked up their ears to listen. The person General Gu was pointing to just now was actually the daughter of the emperor's merchant in front of him? !

"Gu, General Gu..."

Yun Wu resisted the probing gazes of the people around her and bowed tremblingly, then stepped back two steps:

"Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, the daughter of the people... felt a little unwell, so she left first."

Plan 36, she is now going to be the best one. What should I do if I don’t know how to face someone I haven’t seen for a long time?

run, run quickly.

Yun Wu ran away at that time. When she got back to the Yun family's carriage, Caiwei was still confused, but she still followed Yun Wu's instructions and asked the coachman to rush back to the Yun Mansion.

It wasn't until she returned to her boudoir and her whole body was buried in the quilt that she breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did Caiwei and the others find out that Yun Wu met Gu Xingran at the banquet.

It's really strange. How did he know that Yun Wu went to the Princess's mansion today just after he returned to the capital?

What was unexpected was that Gu Xingran came directly to Yun Mansion to find Yun Wu.

However, the servant guarding the door followed Yun Wu's wishes and said that he was not feeling well and could not see guests.

Gu Xingran has been waiting at the door of the mansion.

There was a small bulge on the bed, and Yun Wu was wrapped in it, pretending to be dead.

Caiwei stood by the bed helplessly. She glanced at the cold wind howling outside the window, and couldn't help but say:

"Miss, do you really not want to go out and see the Major General? He is still waiting at the door, and the weather is getting worse..."

"I, I don't know how to face him yet. Besides, I haven't replied to him for half a year..."

Yun Wu's soft and trembling voice came from the small mountain bag wrapped in quilt on the bed.

She wrapped herself in the quilt, stuck her butt out, and sat on the bed with her back to Caiwei. Then she quickly shook her head twice to express her rejection.

Caiwei had no choice but to stand aside and wait. Sure enough, it didn't take long before she saw snow gradually falling outside the window.

The weather was already cold, but now it started to snow, and the scattered snowflakes at the beginning turned into heavy snow.

"Miss, it's snowing heavily..."

Yun Wu, who was wrapped in the quilt and wanted to escape like before, suddenly paused.

Not long after, the closed door of Yun Mansion finally opened.

Miss Yun, who was wearing a thick winter coat, finally walked out holding an oil-paper umbrella, but she paused as soon as she stepped into the door of the house.

No one told her that people in the capital also like to watch the fun? !

Why are there so many people watching? !

Gu Xingran stood at the foot of the steps at the entrance of the mansion, surrounded by a group of people at a distance, as if the entire Western City had come to watch.

It was snowing heavily outside, and Gu Xingran was still wearing his military uniform, and the snow fell on his hair crown and shoulders.

He looked a little pitiful, as if he had been abandoned.

Yun Wu suppressed the strange feelings in her heart, held the oil-paper umbrella tightly and walked down the stairs.

The closer she got to Gu Xingran, the tighter her heart became.

It wasn't until she walked in front of Gu Xingran that Yun Wu discovered that his pair of dark eyes seemed to be misty and hazy.

Seeing this, Yun Wu couldn't help but feel confused.

"Ah Wu, you are finally willing to see me."

Gu Xingran's voice was slightly hoarse, and Yun Wu didn't know how long he had been waiting at the door of the mansion.

There was snow on his eyelashes, and now that the weather was cold, his handsome face was a little pale due to the cold, adding a bit of a broken feeling.

Yun Wu felt that he seemed to be much taller than a year ago, and she had to raise her neck to look at him.

"You...didn't you just return to Beijing today? If you don't go back to the residence given by the Holy Emperor to rest, why are you standing here?"

Yun Wu said this, but she raised the oil paper umbrella in her hand to protect Gu Xingran from the snow.

She glanced at the people surrounding not far away with some embarrassment, and said eagerly:

"Okay, okay, then you can come into the mansion with me. If you stand any longer, I'm afraid there will be more and more people watching and it will be really embarrassing..."

Yun Wu's voice became quieter at the end. She could still hear the low voices of the people watching not far away. She wanted to find a crack in the ground to bury herself.

But Gu Xingran still didn't take a step forward. He said in a deep voice:

"You promise to coax me, and I'll follow you in."

Then Yun Wu heard what Gu Xingran whispered, and her face turned red instantly.

The kind that goes from the neck to the roots of the ears.
