The head of the Mu family

Chapter 98 Alas! I'm destined to never meet a handsome soldier!

Mu Huaisheng was somewhat puzzled:

Huh? So polite?

"You're welcome, Second Master."

I've treated several injuries like this since I came here.

Besides, this is exactly what military doctors are supposed to do!

"Now that you're all grown up, why are you acting so timid and hesitant?"

You don't get a military doctor's salary, so go away~

You haven't been to the city of Tongtian Pass yet since you arrived, so this is a good opportunity to take a look around.

"When I was with you to rescue him, it was I who called upon you to save him that day."

Mu Huaisheng was somewhat speechless:

Is this guy trying to set me up with someone during these turbulent times?

Why don't you introduce yourself to me?

Mu Huaisheng couldn't be too coy anymore, so he greeted the lady and went to the banquet.

During the Spring Festival, everyone wore casual clothes, and the young general looked even more delicate-looking.

Li Rongchuan said without a care in the world:

"The three of us are like brothers from the same family; we're all good-looking, hahaha~"

They also prepared some wine, but Mu Huaisheng didn't drink it.

"Brother Huaisheng, why don't you have a drink? It's the New Year, and there are no outsiders around. It's alright~"

After the two became acquainted, the young officer, with a hint of persuasion, said...

"Brother Yan, I've been drinking, so I can't stitch up or do acupuncture on this claw."

I'll drink tea instead of wine, and we'll have a meal together as brothers, just to have a good time!

Drinks, drinks, they're all the same~

Come on! Let me first toast these two gentlemen!

The young general agreed with his reasoning, and the three of them happily began to eat and drink.

When the conversation turned to border affairs, both men expressed deep concern about matters in the surrounding areas, and the other two did not drink much either.

Mu Huaisheng, a frequent drinking buddy, was naturally well-liked by both of them.

The three then made an agreement:

After we drive out the Tartars, the three of us will have a good drink together.

Mu Huaisheng had initially assumed that Li Rongchuan's lack of marriage was due to this handsome young general.

I had a meal, and then I realized it wasn't true.

Mu Huaisheng was a little happy:

Li Rongchuan was quite attentive to me during the meal.

It seems she's somewhat interested in me.

Find an opportunity to test the waters!

Yan Sen is also quite good-looking; he's handsome and much more intelligent than Li Rongchuan in his speech.

The difficulty level may be a bit higher.

Never mind, once the war is over, let your older sister give you some pointers. You two blockheads!

Either one is great, hehe~

After the New Year, and past the Lantern Festival, the Western Hu and the Tartars started fighting again.

The people outside the city survived the New Year and originally hoped that their country's army would consider the people's welfare and not attack the city.

The army would drive them away directly, and if they refused to leave, they would be executed.

An old man felt that he wouldn't survive even if he left, so he resolutely refused to go.

With a swift stroke of his sword, the old man's head rolled to the ground, his eyes still holding a hint of stubbornness.

Seeing this, the remaining refugees quickly fled.

After the first month of the lunar calendar, an imperial military order was received:

If necessary, open the city gates to meet the enemy and cooperate with the imperial court to send troops to recapture Yuri Pass and Xiagu Pass.

Li Rongchuan was extremely brave as the vanguard. By the end of February, the Hu Da army had retreated to Yu Ri Pass and Xia Gu Pass.

The imperial army set up camp fifty miles away, and the two sides faced each other.

Next, it's time to rest and recuperate.

Because of the ongoing war, the military doctors have been constantly busy.

Every day, they had to take care of the wounded and also check the health of the soldiers who were resting.

During this time, the young general and Li Rongchuan would often come to help Mu Huaisheng.

When Mu Huaisheng was resting, he thought of the two people who had come to help him and felt a little pleased:

Happiness came so suddenly!

Both of them have really good character~

One is heroic, the other is delicate; both are of good character and both have eight-pack abs.

hehehe~

I have to choose, which one should I pick?

Choose the one that's better for me~

The April wind feels warm on people.

The wounded have mostly stabilized and entered their routine recovery period.

That day, after finishing his work, Mu Huaisheng stood on the hillside outside the camp, enjoying the breeze, when he heard someone calling from afar:

"Brother Huaisheng!"

The young man and Li Rongchuan walked together.

Mu Huaisheng looked at the two men walking towards him in the sunlight:

So pleasing to the eye!

"Neither of us is on duty tomorrow, so the three of us have agreed to get together after the battle, tomorrow night~"

Li Rongchuan said cheerfully.

"Okay~"

After dinner, Li Rongchuan pulled Mu Huaisheng aside to a secluded place:

"Huaisheng, you're all grown up now. What do you think of Xiao Yanzi?"

A thought suddenly struck Mu Huaisheng:

Wow, that's pretty good!

Happiness really does come quite suddenly!

However, I want to accept this happiness.

Mu Huaisheng lowered his head shyly:

"Brother Yan, you're doing well."

Mu Huaisheng was secretly delighted:

You weren't lying at all, it's really great~

"Then I'll put in a good word for you two when we have dinner tomorrow."

I think that young man is interested in you too, but he didn't know you were a woman.

"Then tomorrow, shall I dress as a woman again?"

"Alright, then tomorrow we won't ride horses, we'll go by carriage!"

The next day, when the noblewoman found out, she even had her maid comb Mu Huaisheng's hair nicely and do some eyebrow and lip makeup.

Because military doctors don't go out in the wind and sun, and besides, the skin of a seventeen-year-old girl is still quite resilient.

His appearance had largely matured, and Mu Huaisheng was not disappointed in himself.

Although she's not a stunning beauty, her looks are on the cute side and quite attractive.

Besides, his small body is developing very well, and all the hard work over the years has paid off.

From the moment Li Rongchuan was momentarily stunned upon seeing her, Huai Sheng knew:

I think I'm not wrong about my overall appearance.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Mu Huaisheng was still a little nervous.

He followed Li Rongchuan to the door of the private room and stood behind the tall Li Rongchuan.

A clear, resonant voice came from inside and asked:

"Where are the Huai Sheng brothers?"

Didn't any of you come along?

Huai Sheng's heart was pounding, and he was too embarrassed to peek out.

Li Rongchuan entered the private room and stepped aside.

Yan Sen was stunned when he saw this. Li Rongchuan looked at him with a somewhat inscrutable expression.

Mu Huaisheng shyly parted her red lips slightly:

"Brother Yan~"

"Miss, your voice sounds just like my brother Huai Sheng's!"

Yan Sen was stunned, and said in a somewhat dazed manner.

Seeing this, Li Rongchuan grinned mischievously:

“Huaisheng has something to do today. This is Huaisheng’s twin sister.”

Take a close look, doesn't it look just like Huai Sheng?

Mu Huaisheng didn't expose him, but just smiled upon hearing this.

Yan Sen was stunned by the laugh, and even Li Rongchuan was a little taken aback.

Mu Huaisheng was unsure whether to sit or not when Yan Sen suddenly stood up, blushing, and lowered his head, saying:

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

I shouldn't have stared at you, miss. Forgive my rudeness.

Mu Meimei~

No, Miss Mu, please have a seat.

Mu Huaisheng sat down, unable to suppress his laughter any longer, and said in his usual tone:

"Brother Yan, Second Master is tricking you."

I am Huaisheng, and I am a woman by nature.

Yan Sen was utterly astonished.

I wonder if it was because Mu Huaisheng suddenly dressed in women's clothing that the meal went so poorly...

Very friendly yet reserved.

A few days later, Li Rongchuan was furious at dinner, speaking as if he had been hit by a firecracker.

The next day, Yan Sen came to the military doctor's tent to get his wound bandaged, but instead of seeking out Mu Huaisheng, he went to see another military doctor.

After he finished bandaging himself, he left without saying goodbye, which puzzled Mu Huaisheng.

Even without mentioning the introduction, I'm already quite familiar with him.

Not feeling reassured, he ran out to ask further:

"Brother Yan, has something happened?"

Yan Sen dropped the sentence:

"No."

He ran away without looking back.

At the end of April, the imperial court issued a military order to send troops to support the recapture of Yu Ri Pass and Xia Gu Pass, while the Li family was stationed at Tong Tian Pass.

Yan Sen volunteered to lead the team to provide support.

In early May, we set off without giving any prior notice.

After Yan Sen left, Mu Huaisheng felt puzzled and asked Li Rongchuan what had happened.

Under repeated questioning, Li Rongchuan finally stammered:

"that is...

Let's pretend we never talked about you and Yan Sen before.

"Ah? Oh, okay."

But I'm the person involved, I need to know the reason!

Upon hearing this, Mu Huaisheng felt a pang of sadness.

I'm still feeling quite disappointed.
