After the prince was reborn, he forced me to marry him and took me into the East Palace

thump—

The fire starter in Nan Yuan's hand fell to the ground.

She was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat and she turned around abruptly.

She saw Nan Jiamu sitting on her couch, looking at her coldly, with a pair of gloomy eyes.

He didn't know when he arrived at her tent or how long he waited.

Maybe he knew something, that's why he was waiting here.

Her face turned pale and she quickly picked up the tinder that had fallen on the ground and lit the lamp again.

The room suddenly became bright.

Nan Yuan's vision also became much clearer.

She calmed down, suppressed her panic, and tried to calm herself down: "Brother, when did you come? Why didn't you tell me?"

Her tone sounded like a guilty thief.

Nan Jiamu frowned even more deeply. He stared at Nan Yuan and asked, "Where did you go just now? Why did you come back just now?"

Nan Yuan lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze, and answered in a whisper: "I... I saw that the weather was nice today, so I walked around, haha..."

As Nan Yuan spoke, she looked at Nan Jiamu's face, only to see that he looked even gloomier than before.

"Take a walk?" Nan Jiamu narrowed his eyes. "What is it about the military camp that attracts you so much that you lingered for such a long time and finally came back reluctantly?"

"Come on, tell me, where is the beautiful place? Take me for a tour?"

Nan Yuan was shocked.

She can't show her weakness!

She tried to force a smile and spoke as calmly as possible: "It's not a nice place, it's just that I've been staying in the capital for too long these years, so I feel bored."

"I came out for the first time, so naturally everything I saw was new and interesting, so I stayed outside for a little longer."

"Really?" Nan Jiamu stood up and looked down at Nan Yuan.

Nan Yuan lowered her head, so her expression could not be seen. All that could be seen was a section of her slender white neck, with some red marks under her neck.

He pursed his lips slightly, and his anger grew even more. It's not that he didn't know what those marks were, but what made him even angrier was that Nan Yuan actually lied to him.

He suppressed his emotions and said, "You live too far from me, and the barracks are full of rough people. I am always worried that I can't take care of you when I am not with you."

"How about this, you move next to my tent. This way it will be more convenient for me to take care of you and teach you self-defense skills."

Nan Yuan nodded and said, "Okay. I'll move there tomorrow."

She also felt that what he said made sense. She was indeed unfamiliar with the military camp, so it would be better for her to live closer to Nan Jiamu.

"What do you mean tomorrow? Let's go now." Nan Jiamu suddenly pulled her arm and dragged her out.

"Ah? Are you in such a hurry?" Nan Yuan was a little slow to react.

Nan Jiamu gave her a cold look and Nan Yuan immediately shut her mouth.

I don’t know if Nan Jiamu knew something or he was in a bad mood, but at dawn the next morning, Nan Jiamu pulled Nan Yuan out of the quilt.

"No, brother, why did you wake me up so early in the morning?"

Nan Yuan was already suffering from insomnia, and she spent the whole night worrying about whether Nan Jiamu had discovered what she had hidden under Gu Jingheng's quilt. She didn't fall asleep until it was almost dawn.

After all, he hadn't slept for half an hour before he was woken up by Nan Jiamu again.

Now she was very sleepy and looked drowsy.

Nan Jiamu didn't give her any chance to breathe and just dragged her out.

"Brother! What are you doing? I'm sleepy!" Nan Yuan staggered and almost fell down due to being pulled by Nan Jiamu.

"You started practicing martial arts much later than others. If you keep getting tired, when will you be able to become famous?"

Nan Yuan wanted to say that she didn't want to become famous through her training, she just wanted to learn a self-defense skill, but looking at Nan Jiamu's gloomy and handsome face, Nan Yuan wisely shut her mouth.

The two arrived at the martial arts training ground. Nan Yuan wanted to continue practicing archery, but was stopped by Nan Jiamu.

"elder brother?"

Nan Yuan looked at Nan Jiamu in confusion.

Nan Jiamu replied: "I won't practice archery today. I will teach you some self-defense skills."

As he said that, Nan Jiamu threw Nan Yuan to the ground over his shoulder.

Nan Yuan was caught off guard and cried out in pain.

"elder brother?"

Nan Yuan's eyes widened in surprise.

Although Nan Jiamu was careful enough to throw her to the mat and protect her head, this move still surprised Nan Yuan.

Is he her brother or her enemy?

"What do you mean brother? There are no brothers and sisters in the martial arts training ground, only masters and apprentices."

"If you are in danger in the future, will the enemy show mercy to you just because you are my sister?"

Nan Jiamu asked coldly.

What he said made sense. Nan Yuan was speechless for a moment and could only get up and stand back in her seat.

Nan Jiamu was really serious this time.

He took off his armor and wore only a white tights. He looked handsome and extraordinary, but his moves were decisive.

In just a stick of incense, Nan Yuan didn't know how many times she had been thrown down in the training ground.

As soon as she complained a little, Nan Jiamu said, "If you want to protect yourself, you must first learn to take a beating."

This sentence left Nan Yuan with no chance to speak again.

Fortunately, the effect was good. She used to be knocked down with one move at the beginning, but after being beaten for a whole morning, it now took two moves to knock her down.

Seeing that Nan Jiamu was about to come over again, Nan Yuan hurriedly shouted, "Brother, it's already noon, shouldn't we take a break?"

Nan Jiamu looked up at the sky and then stopped.

Nan Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and quickly ran to Nan Jiamu, smiling flatteringly, "Brother, are you tired?"

Looking at the smiling Nan Yuan in front of him, he said with a fake smile: "Let's continue practicing in the afternoon."

The smile on Nan Yuan's face suddenly froze.

She wanted to practice martial arts, but she didn't want to practice to death!

If Nan Jiamu continued to train at the same pace, she would definitely be ruined within three days.

Just as Nan Yuan was complaining, a soldier came towards her with a long box in his hand.

"Vice General Nan, Miss Nan Yuan." The soldier walked up to the two of them, held up the box, and said, "This is a gift from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially for Miss Nan Yuan."

When Nan Jiamu heard this, his expression darkened.

When Nan Yuan saw Nan Jiamu's expression, she felt a little scared and didn't know how to deal with this thing.

"Why don't you take the things His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave you?" Nan Jiamu lowered his eyes and looked at Nan Yuan.

Nan Yuan couldn't tell Nan Jiamu's emotions from his tone, so she could only bite the bullet and take the box.

"Is this... a crossbow?" Nan Yuan opened the box and saw a crossbow and several matching feather arrows inside.

The soldier nodded his head and said, "This was made by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specifically for Miss Nan Yuan. He said that Miss Nan Yuan would need it."

Nan Yuan looked at the crossbow and feather arrow in her hands, her cheeks slightly red.

He does have a good intention.

"Is there anything else?" Nan Jiamu took the crossbow from Nan Yuan, fiddled with it for a few times, and then shot at the target.

It is indeed a good crossbow, light and flexible, and does not require drawing the bow and arrow, making it suitable for beginners.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince also said..." The soldier seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What?" Nan Jiamu asked indifferently.
