After he came back, he called Lord Qiu over and hinted that his daughter was good. Lord Qiu was considerate and sent his daughter over in the evening.

Mu Bo's body has recovered, and he has been thinking about when he will set off these two days.

Before, Zhao Liang left him behind to recuperate and also left a team to protect him, but he was going to the northwest to fight after all, and it was not a good idea for him to stay in Qiu County all the time.

But he was also afraid that if he left Qiu County, the killer who was lurking somewhere would attack him again.

To be honest, he was scared, but how could he, the fifth prince, admit that he was a coward?

Just as he was thinking about these messy things, the door was pushed open and Miss Qiu walked in with a smile on her face.

"What is your highness thinking?"

The door closed behind them, and no one noticed that the guard at the door was Lu Yu.

The moment the door closed, Lu Yu looked up at the two people in the room, suppressed all emotions in his eyes, and gently closed the two doors.

Seeing Miss Qiu, Mu Bo felt that his worries were much less. He waved to the beauty standing there, and the little beauty immediately walked around the desk and came to him with a smile.

Mu Bo reached out and held the little beauty in his arms, letting her sit on his lap. His right hand slid across Miss Qiu's cheek, and the tender touch made him even more restless.

"What kind of makeup do you use? How come your skin is so smooth?"

Miss Qiu blushed at his frivolous words and buried her head shyly in Mu Bo's chest.

"Your Highness, please don't make fun of Fei'er."

Mu Bo really loved Miss Qiu's shy look. He laughed out loud, picked up Miss Qiu and strode towards the bedroom.

Outside the door, Lu Yu was like a stone statue, guarding the door steadily.

He seemed not to hear the sound coming from the house behind him, and just guarded the house closely with the other guards.

In the middle of the night, Miss Qiu returned to her room. As soon as she opened the door, she saw her mother sitting there in a daze.

When Mrs. Qiu saw her daughter coming back, she hurried over to greet her, pulled her daughter to sit on the bed, and asked the maid to go out and watch over her.

"Mother, what's the matter?"

Seeing her mother so nervous and her face so serious, the smile on Miss Qiu's lips slowly faded.

"Fei'er, tell me, do you really like the Fifth Prince? If not, I will arrange for you to leave even if it costs me my life!"

Before, when Miss Qiu went to the Fifth Prince, Mrs. Qiu sat here and thought a lot. She felt that the Fifth Prince was not a trustworthy man, and she didn't want her daughter to follow him.

Even Mr. Qiu didn't know what she just said to Miss Qiu.

If her daughter really had no feelings for the Fifth Prince, she, as a mother, would definitely save her daughter from this suffering.

After Miss Qiu heard this, she first looked at her mother carefully, then smiled, held Mrs. Qiu's hand tightly, thought for a moment and said, "Mom, I am willing."

Mrs. Qiu showed a look of disbelief on her face and said softly: "Fei'er, tell me the truth and don't force yourself!"

"It's true! Mother, the Fifth Prince is very kind to me. When father sent me to the Fifth Prince, he asked me about it, and I volunteered."

Hearing this, Mrs. Qiu couldn't hold back her tears. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and choked up, "It's because my father and mother are incompetent..."

"Why are you saying all this, mother? You are already doing well! My daughter has grown up and should do something for the family. Daddy is still young. If I can gain face in front of the Fifth Prince, Daddy will surely have a successful career, which is a good thing for our family!"

How could Mrs. Qiu not know this truth? However, this official career would cost her daughter her lifelong happiness, and Mrs. Qiu felt sorry for her daughter.

Seeing that Mrs. Qiu was still crying, Miss Qiu hugged her and comforted her softly: "Mother, don't blame Daddy. I have my own plans. I want to go to the capital to have a look and live a rich life!"

Looking at the bright light in her daughter's eyes, Mrs. Qiu opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end all her words turned into a sigh.

"Forget it. Since you have already made up your mind, I will not persuade you any more. I just hope that you will put your own safety first. When you follow the Fifth Prince in the future, you must think twice before doing anything and don't be impulsive!"

Miss Qiu wrote down her mother's words one by one and held her mother's hand tightly, "Mom, I remember it."

Mu Bo rested in Qiu County for another two days, but finally he could not delay any longer and set off to leave Qiu County.

When he left, he also took Miss Qiu with him, which surprised both Mr. Qiu and Mrs. Qiu.

In their opinion, Mu Bo was going to fight in the war, and it was not a good idea to bring a woman to the front line, but Miss Qiu was not surprised. After all, this was exactly what she wanted.

The journey to the northwest was long, and Mrs. Qiu was afraid that her daughter would be left unattended along the way, so she gave a nanny to Miss Qiu and watched her daughter and Mu Bo leave with tears in her eyes.

Lu Yu rode on the horse with an expressionless face. He was the leader of the team protecting Mu Bo this time. As they had already opened up a long distance between themselves and Zhao Liang and the others, Mu Bo ordered them to speed up.

For the first two days, Mu Bo and Miss Qiu stayed in the carriage. Firstly, he was afraid that someone would try to assassinate him again, and secondly, with the beauty by his side, he felt a little distracted.

But after two days, they were already a hundred miles away from Qiu County, and no one came to assassinate him, so Mu Bai finally felt relieved.

After making sure that no one was chasing him, Mu Bo was in a good mood and took Miss Qiu on a horseback ride for half a day.

It was Miss Qiu’s first time riding a horse, so she was naturally excited and smiled like a flower. Mu Bo was so fascinated that he wished he could grow on her.

Two days passed like this, and they still hadn't caught up with Zhao Liang and his men, but Zhou Yan did.

When he saw Zhou Yan, Mu Bo's eyes lit up and he asked with a smile how his recovery was going.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am now fine."

Zhou Yan couldn't help but look at Miss Qiu in Mu Bo's arms under the mask. A cold light flashed in his gloomy eyes, which made Miss Qiu a little scared, so she couldn't help but shrink into Mu Bo's arms.

Mu Bo patted Miss Xia Qiu on the back, reassured her not to be afraid, and introduced the two people.

"This is my prince's bodyguard Zhou Yan. He was injured while protecting me before, and he just caught up with me today."

"This is the daughter of Magistrate Qiu. From now on, she will follow me. If she encounters danger in the future, you must protect her as you would protect me!"

Zhou Yan immediately saluted and said, "Yes, I will remember this!"

With Zhou Yan's joining, Mu Bo was even less worried. He took Miss Qiu for walks and stops along the way, and visited places with beautiful scenery. With such a beautiful woman as his companion, he felt like a god in heaven.

Seeing that they were about to enter the northwest, Mu Bo knew that he could not go on like this, so he ordered his troops to move forward quickly.
