Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Chapter 495 Jinglan's Visit

Chu Xiaomu was rushing back to the Nanding Army camp, but he saw Xiaoying riding a zebra and rushing over from the side. She called out, "Brother Xiaomu, how do you think I ride a horse?"

Chu Xiaomu saw her holding the reins and stepping on the stirrups, rising and falling as Longban galloped, her body so light that he smiled and praised, "Yingying, you are really amazing. You are almost catching up with me!"

Xiaoying spat at him and said, "You stinky piece of wood, what's so great about you? I see you are so clumsy and almost made me fall off several times." She jumped off the horse lightly and walked side by side with Chu Xiaomu.

Chu Xiaomu smelled Xiaoying's fragrant breath and sweat, and he couldn't help but feel a little distracted. He wanted to hug her in his arms, but unfortunately this was the central army camp, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Seeing that her hair was a little messy due to riding, he couldn't help but reach out to help her smooth it out. Xiaoying smiled back at him, as bright as spring.

Chu Xiaomu suddenly froze, standing on the ground like a mud pillar, motionless. It turned out that he saw Jinglan standing in front of his military tent, staring at him without blinking, her chest heaving, obviously quite excited.

He quickly put away his frivolous attitude and walked over with his head lowered.

Xiaoying didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and instead greeted Jinglan loudly. Jinglan forced a smile in return.

Chu Xiaomu asked: "Miss Jinglan, you... do you have something to talk to me about?"

Jinglan opened his tent and said coldly, "Let's talk inside."

This military tent is occupied by Chu Xiaomu and Yang Dou. Both of them are lazy, so they seldom clean it. Fortunately, Du Heng comes to clean it every day, otherwise it would have been a mess like a doghouse. I don't know why she didn't come today.

Chu Xiaomu hurriedly picked up the messy clothes, boots, horse gear, etc., and said, "Adou is the worst kid, he makes a mess every day..."

Jinglan sat on Chu Xiaomu's bed and said, "Brother Xiaomu, I have something important to discuss with you."

Chu Xiaomu was stunned and asked, "What's the important matter?"

Jinglan glanced at Xiaoying a few times but said nothing.

Chu Xiaomu thought to himself, you want me to send Xiaoying away, how can I do that? Just as he was about to say that he could talk to Xiaoying about anything, he saw Xiaoying yawn and said, "Brother Xiaomu, Sister Jinglan, you guys talk about things, I'm a little sleepy, I'm going back to my side." After that, she lifted the curtain and left.

Chu Xiaomu could only smile awkwardly and wait for Jinglan to speak.

Jinglan's chest was rising and falling, and Chu Xiaomu could clearly hear her breathing becoming more rapid.

I don't know how long it took, Jinglan suddenly asked: "Xiaoying...she...is she your sweetheart?"

This made Chu Xiaomu even more at a loss. There was no doubt that his sweetheart was the charming Xiaoying. Her figure appeared in his dreams countless times, and her voice echoed in his mind countless times. The promise they made in the spring kept him awake...

But he knew that Jinglan also had someone in her heart for him. When they escaped from the maze, Jinglan said that she hoped he could remember her. Although he was quite stupid when it came to love between men and women, he had understood her feelings.

When he picked up the cloth bag and touched the hairpin Jinglan gave him, he would think of her. But he would also think, how could I, Chu Xiaomu, deserve the love of you, the daughter of the Central Army of Bicheng?

Jinglan asked again: "Brother Xiaomu, is she really your sweetheart?"

Chu Xiaomu couldn't avoid it anymore, so he nodded and said "yes".

After a long silence, Jinglan let out a long breath and said, "Father said you could be a general. You see, he was right, wasn't he?" She looked at Chu Xiaomu with tears in her eyes.

Chu Xiaomu also thought of Zhou Zhongjun, who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He was so excited that he couldn't help but walk over and sit next to Jinglan, reaching out and holding her hot hands.

Unexpectedly, Jinglan broke free, stood up and sat far away. She said, "Brother Xiaomu, I really have something important to talk to you about."

"What...important matter?" Chu Xiaomu asked hurriedly.

Jinglan quietly wiped away the tears in her eyes and said, "The Bicheng Army has run out of food. You should know this better than me."

Chu Xiaomu nodded and said, "I just came back from Li Zhongjun's tent today to discuss this matter with them."

"How did the discussion go?"

"Not very good. It's not enough if we can't wait for the autumn harvest. General Huan suggested killing the army horses, but General Yang disagreed. I also disagreed. General Yang said we could go to the Crocodile Swamp and kill crocodiles... Alas, how much effect would that have?"

"You didn't come up with any solution?"

"What can I think of? You know I was just picked up as a general, how can I do this? The Wangying officer and the Anying officer were very dissatisfied."

"That's because they don't know your abilities yet. If they knew, no one would say anything."

"You're flattering me again." Chu Xiaomu laughed.

"I'm not flattering you. My master said that it's very likely that you are another extraordinary person after Shenwu Bumi. It's a pity that his astronomical geomancy skills have not yet reached their peak, and he can't see the future."

"A foreigner who brings his friends and brothers to starve, it's unlucky for everyone to follow a foreigner like me."

Jinglan was also amused by him and said, "That's because things haven't pushed you to the edge. When you were herding horses outside before, you were pushed to the edge and even burned down the beast mountain, didn't you?"

"Don't mention it now, because I was almost killed by a beast spirit because of this."

Jinglan asked in surprise: "Which beast spirit is it?"

Chu Xiaomu waved his hand and said, "Let's talk business, Miss Jinglan, do you have a plan to get some food?"

Jinglan said: "I have been thinking of a solution these past two days, and I think there is indeed a way out..."

"What way out? Tell me quickly." Chu Xiaomu was impatient.

"Jinyang City."

"Jinyang City? Isn't that the territory of the Golden Blade and Black Sword? And that Jin Li'er, I caught her once, she must hate me to death."

"You forgot that you have a very good friend there. I heard that he has the final say on many matters of the Golden Sword Sect."

"You're talking about Xuanying?!"

Jinglan nodded.

Chu Xiaomu fell into deep thought. If he really went to Jinyang City to find Xuanying, he would definitely have no problem getting a few ships of food and grass to solve the urgent problem, considering his style of giving thousands of gold to others at any time. However, his master was the Golden Sword and Black Sword of the Golden Sword Sect, and the people of the Golden Sword Sect were not good people. Could he not listen to his master and help him?

Besides, Jin Li'er and Chang Lun also know me. Jin Li'er is the lady of Jinyang City and has many subordinates. How can I avoid their eyes and ears?
