The King of War, he has a delicate body and a soft body

"The fish is ready."

Lu Ting interrupted Su Manman's thoughts with a shout.

She suddenly came to her senses and took the fish he had divided.

The scenery in the mountains is beautiful, and the wild white fish in the mountain springs are even more delicious.

But Su Manman was a bit confused.

He swallowed the fish meat in one mouthful like a machine.

Lu Ting had been observing her condition and felt a little worried.

In the past few days, he almost never saw her smile.

Although it is normal not to laugh when encountering this kind of thing.

But he actually missed the way she was so high-spirited all day long and could move among the diners among the water and clouds with ease...

Thinking about this, Lu Ting hurriedly pretended to be relaxed and said, "By the way, I'm going down the mountain tomorrow. Is there anything you want to eat? I'll bring it back so we can change the taste."

"Ok?"

Su Manman was startled when she heard this, then reacted and frowned slightly: "No need, as long as you come back safely."

Recently, Lu Ting has been going down the mountain every one or two days to inquire about the situation outside and the news in the city.

Su Manman would worry about how long he was gone.

I can't feel at ease until I see him come back.

I also knew that he just talked about eating to comfort himself, and I couldn't help but feel even more mixed.

Suddenly he whispered: "Sorry... I... can't be of much help..."

Without her and Yan'er, it would be more convenient for Lu Ting.

Now, they were nothing more than a drag on him.

next moment--

"What is this nonsense?"

Lu Ting immediately raised his voice when he heard this, and looked at Su Manman with disapproval: "It is my duty to protect you, so why should I apologize? In Boss Su's heart, I am just a person who sees people being wronged and refuses to save them until death?"

"Of course not, I..."

This was the first time Su Manman saw him so serious, and she quickly wanted to explain.

Before he finished speaking, Lu Ting suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and then laughed.

"Then don't say anything to apologize. I'm willing to protect you. If I don't protect you well, I won't know how to explain it to the princess when I meet her in the future."

Willingly.

These four words are indeed a bit... solemn.

There seems to be some unspeakable ambiguity mixed in.

Su Manman choked, and for a moment she didn't know what to answer. A blush quickly appeared on her ears and side of her face.

Even Yan'er, who was eating at the side, stopped and glanced at the two of them from the corner of his eye.

cough……

Although gossip is a bit inappropriate at this moment, General Lu and Boss Su are...?

The air was quiet for a moment.

Lu Ting later realized that there was something wrong with what he just said. He coughed loudly, looked away and explained: "Ahem! I mean... it is my duty to protect the people of Donglai. Of course, I am willing to protect you and Yan'er..."

This time I didn't forget to add an extra name.

Yan'er curled her lips, took a bite of the fish silently, and secretly cursed: Actually, you can do it without me...

"Ah."

Su Manman nodded and stopped talking.

Lu Ting also quickly changed the subject and said: "By the way, although we can't go into the city right now, there is a tea shed after walking down the mountain. The boss there is pretty good at making snacks. I will bring some back for you tomorrow... good?"

Lu Ting almost bit his tongue when he almost said it was a treatment that only Su Manman could get.

"Ah."

Su Manman nodded again and just agreed casually. In fact, she didn't care at all what he said.

There was only one heart, thumping as if it was about to pop out of the chest.

The next day—

As soon as it dawned, Lu Ting went down the mountain as expected.

Although Su Manman deliberately moved lightly when she went out, she was still awakened.

Then he no longer felt sleepy and sat at the entrance of the cave with his knees in his arms, waiting for him to come back.

But people who usually come back within an hour took half an hour longer today, but they still disappeared.

Su Manman couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Smoke."

She looked at the person beside her, she could hardly sit still, and asked in a panic: "Do you think something happened to him?"

"No, boss Su, don't panic."

Yan'er is actually a little unsure.

But thinking about Lu Ting's martial arts skills, he comforted him: "Didn't General Lu say he was going to the tea shed to buy snacks? It might be a bit far, so he was delayed on the way."

"Um……"

Su Manman nodded, reluctantly accepted this statement, and suppressed the uneasiness in her heart.

Hopefully it's just because of the long distance.

Then I heard a rustling sound in front of me and in the forest!

The two of them opened their eyes suddenly and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Then I saw a familiar figure staggering in!

"Lu Ting!"

Su Manman stood up instantly and rushed towards him!

But when he got closer, he could smell the pungent smell of blood!

"Are you hurt? What's going on?"

Her heart skipped a beat, and she grabbed him to check.

"fine."

Lu Ting looked stern, grabbed her wrist, and called to Yan'er: "Yan'er, pick up your things and follow me!"

"Yes!"

Yan'er hurried back to pick up the few belongings of the few people, and followed Lu Ting without saying a word.

"what happened?"

Su Manman kept walking and was pulled through the forest by him.

As the question came out, I already had the worst answer in my mind.

Then, as expected, Lu Ting replied in a deep voice, "They are chasing me."

words fall——

Su Manman finally saw the wound on his back, which seemed to have been scratched by a sharp blade, leaving a long line that was oozing blood.

"you……"

I wanted to ask a few more questions about his wounds.

But knowing that now was not the time, she could only swallow her words and just keep up with his pace, not wanting to cause him any more trouble.

finally--

I don’t know how long I walked through the woods.

Several people came to a mountain wall.

The terrain here is much more complicated than where I lived before. As far as the eye can see, almost everywhere is covered with straw that is half as tall as a person.

Lu Ting pushed it aside, revealing a small cave that could accommodate two people.

"Go ahead."

Lu Ting couldn't help but push the two of them in.

"then you……"

"Don't make any noise. Those people should be searching the mountain soon. I'll lead them away. If they don't come back by tomorrow morning, you can leave and find a way to get out of the pass!"

"Lu Ting!"

Su Manman subconsciously reached out and pulled the corner of his clothes.

But it was not encountered.

Then he watched helplessly as his figure disappeared into the layers of green grass.

Tears burst out uncontrollably in an instant.

"Boss Su..."

Yan'er also had red eyes and whispered to her: "Don't cry, General Lu said, don't make a sound..."

They couldn't waste Lu Ting's thoughts.

Su Manman gritted her teeth and dug her fingertips into her palms. For the first time, she felt that she was so useless.

She doesn't want to sacrifice the protection of others.

Especially Lu Ting.
