Chapter 123 Protecting You with All My Might
After finishing his military affairs, Mo Ye returned to the Prince's Mansion. On the way, he heard from his subordinates that Xiao Wu'er had come to the military camp in the evening, so he led his men back.
Mo Ye's anticipation and joy vanished the moment he saw Pu Yangxuan, replaced by a surge of jealousy.
"What are you doing here?! Han Zhao, outsiders are not allowed in the military camp, don't you know that?!"
"Your Highness..."
Han Zhao was about to explain when Puyang Xuan pulled him behind her. "Don't make things difficult for others. I'm Jianwu's personal bodyguard now, so... wherever she is, I'll be there!"
Since Puyang Xuan left last time, Mo Ye has sent people to investigate his background and has finally figured out a thing or two.
"Xiao Wu'er's bodyguard is Luo Li! When did he become an assassin leader?! What right do you have to stand beside her!"
Pu Yangxuan frowned slightly. These past few days, he had been bickering with Yang Jianwu, and his sarcastic skills had improved dramatically. Anyone who dared to look down on his profession would be put to the test.
"So what if I'm an assassin? Assassins earn their living through honest labor! Besides, did I eat your rice?! What's it to you?!"
Mo Ye was a little stunned by Pu Yangxuan's Xiao Wu-esque retorts... He'd only been gone a few days? When did Pu Yangxuan find Xiao Wu? How come their tone of voice is so similar?!
Seeing that Mo Ye didn't react, Pu Yangxuan continued his barrage, "Also, Jian Wu said that I am her bodyguard! Moreover, she doesn't want me to be an assassin anymore, and I agreed to that. Take back those contemptuous words you made!"
As soon as Yang Jianwu arrived, she heard Puyang Xuan rebuking Mo Ye and immediately switched to defense mode. After all, the two had agreed beforehand that Mo Ye was her husband's shield!
"Puyang Xuan, that's enough! Mo Ye is my tentative future husband, so watch your tone!"
Those around Mo Ye were quite uncomfortable when they heard Pu Yangxuan's words to their master, and they were considering whether to beat him up in private! How dare he speak to their master like that, he must be tired of living!
Hearing Miss Yang defend him so fiercely was incredibly satisfying! Mo Ye's lips curled up involuntarily.
Pu Yangxuan was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning. "When did this happen?!"
Mo Ye kindly answered his question, "It was during the time you left last time..."
Pu Yangxuan was filled with regret. He should have known better than to leave! Thinking back to what Jian Wu had said earlier, it was "tentative," so it wasn't true yet! In an instant, he reverted to his usual charming and wicked demeanor.
"It's not over yet, I still have a chance. You're only tentatively confirmed, not officially named!"
Yang Jianwu was somewhat impressed by Puyang Xuan, and had to admit that his ability to spit out insults had improved too quickly, already showing signs of becoming a "shrew"...
She came to the military camp with important business to attend to and didn't want to waste time arguing with the two of them.
"Brother Ye, may I speak to you in private?"
"Alright, let's talk inside my tent."
Yang Jianwu and Mo Ye walked ahead, and Puyang Xuan wanted to follow behind, but Hongfeng and Hongyun stopped them. What a joke! Miss Yang has already spoken out, they can't be so tactless!
What does "future husband" mean? It means telling everyone that she is the prince's wife! The prince and princess are discussing matters; why should others interfere? The two naturally ignored the "tentative" part...
Puyang Xuan refused to accept defeat and started fighting with Hongfeng and Hongyun. As a former assassin, his moves were much more ruthless than theirs. Yang Jianwu heard the sounds of fighting and turned around. Mo Ye wanted to stop them, but Yang Jianwu stopped him.
Hongfeng and Hongyun are former secret guards. To be able to stay by Mo Ye's side, their skills must be better than the average person. Moreover, the two have worked together for a long time and have a certain tacit understanding. Top-level secret guards vs. peerless assassins, interesting...
Yang Jianwu carefully observed the three's moves. Hong Feng and Hong Yun had improved since they first met. If Yao Wangdian hadn't used the Muscle Softening Powder last time, they would have been defeated in just a few moves.
Puyang Xuan's martial arts skills are indeed quite good, and he is well-deserving of the position of Palace Master of the Shamen Sect! If she were to fight him, she could only have the advantage in close combat. If Puyang Xuan attacked with all his might, she would be no match for him.
"what-"
"thump-"
In the end, Puyangxuan emerged victorious!
"I didn't realize you were such a good fighter."
Yang Jianwu spoke in a very calm tone, and Puyang Xuan couldn't detect any sarcasm in her words, so he took it as a compliment.
"Thank you for the compliment, Sword Dance. I will do everything in my power to protect you!"
At first glance, this sounds like a declaration of loyalty, but upon closer inspection, something seems off...
"Hehe~ I can protect myself..."
"Little Wu'er doesn't need your protection. I will take care of her safety!"
Puyang Xuan scoffed. In order to raise Xiao Jin for a few days, he had asked Mu Jin for a lot of advice. Rather than asking for advice, he was more like trying to get information out of her. Among the things he learned was that Mu Jin had taken Xiao Jin to find Gu worms and had fought a whole team by herself.
"You're going to use your team that can't even beat Mu Jin?"
These words provoked public outrage. Although they were true, they were all men and could not tolerate such provocative words!
Yang Jianwu understood the spirit of the men in the army. Pu Yangxuan's words were a bit excessive, and indirectly provoking them was not necessarily a bad thing.
"Quiet down! Puyang Xuan, apologize to your brothers in the army. It's because Mu Jin's training is different from theirs that she has a slight advantage!"
Yang Jianwu stared intently at Puyang Xuan, waiting for him to apologize.
Not wanting to put Yang Jianwu in a difficult position, Pu Yangxuan reluctantly clasped his hands in a salute and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. I'm a person who speaks very quickly, please forgive me!"
Yang Jianwu then turned to the crowd and said, “You all have excellent physical abilities, but you lack the right methods. I will leave you with a set of effective training methods. In time, you will definitely be able to take on two or three opponents at once! Some of you may even be able to take on ten opponents at once!”
The soldiers had all witnessed the skill of Yang Jianwu and her maids, and naturally admired them greatly! Now that she said she would teach them the methods, no one thought she was exaggerating.
The crowd shouted, "Thank you, Miss Yang! Miss Yang is awesome!"
Hongfeng immediately corrected, "No! It's the Princess! Miss Yang said that the Prince is her future husband!"
Everyone excitedly changed their address, "Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness! Your Highness is truly awe-inspiring!"
Yang Jianwu looked embarrassed. She only wanted to quell the anger that was about to rise in everyone's hearts, how did it get to her...?
It's all Puyang Xuan's fault. If I hadn't helped him, I wouldn't be so embarrassed now...
Yang Jianwu fled quickly. She was not good at dealing with this kind of situation. It had already been said that it was only a temporary arrangement, not a confirmed one. Sigh... these people, making a scene!
Some were happy, some were sad. This wasn't Puyangxuan's territory, so they didn't want to dwell on it and followed Yang Jianwu away.
Mo Ye noticed that Yang Jianwu's face was slightly flushed, but he did not stop the soldiers from teasing her. He also hoped that Xiao Wu'er could see his feelings. However, there were still things to be done. Xiao Wu'er had come to discuss matters with him, so he didn't want her to be disturbed.
He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and everyone consciously returned to their places before catching up with Yang Jianwu and leaving together.
