After watching the carriages of the widows leave, Yu Mingchuan walked out from behind Lu Qing and faced the soldiers that escorted them.

Those were all Zhang Mao's men.

"Tell General Zhang that I will accept his gift, thank you very much."

Saying that, Yu Mingchuan turned around and grabbed one of Lu Qing's sleeves. He then dragged her towards the fortress that was made of dirt.

With big steps, Lu Qing had to jog to keep up with him, while Han Shuo followed with full strides.

"Isn't this Commandant Yu too arrogant?" You're just leaving us here, not even caring about a meal? "

A voice sounded. Yu Mingchuan's footsteps paused, but he did not stop. Lu Qing noticed that the smile on that evildoer's face became even colder.

"I'm afraid you can't wait any longer, hahahahaha …" Forget it, let's go to the Dunhuang to rest. "

Another mocking voice rang out, and the sound of armor clashing rang out from behind. Following that, the sound of horse hooves could be heard as they galloped off into the distance.

Lu Qing was pulled until she didn't have time to turn around. Yu Mingchuan's legs were too long, his steps were too big, and he walked too fast. She couldn't keep up with him.

"Brother Mingchuan, is treating the Liangzhou Soldiers this way not good?"

Xue Yan quickly followed and lowered his voice to ask Yu Mingchuan.

"There's nothing wrong with that. I'll set up a banquet for you in a bit."

Yu Mingchuan slowed down his steps and smiled at Xue Yan. He only grabbed Lu Qing's sleeve, but didn't show any signs of letting go.

This seemed to be a signal. After Yu Mingchuan slowed down, everyone relaxed and no longer looked as cold as before. One by one, they wobbled towards the wall or into the stone house.

This made Lu Qing even more puzzled. Were those steel-like military men all fake?

Xue Yan obviously noticed the situation and quickly grabbed Yu Mingchuan's other arm.

"You have always governed the army well, why are these people so lazy?"

"They aren't lazy, they're just powerless."

Another bloodthirsty smile appeared on her face, and Lu Qing could clearly feel the grip on her sleeve tighten.

"Is there not enough food? Zhang Shi didn't send anyone to deliver it? " A rare look of surprise and confusion appeared on Xue Yan's face.

"Xue Yan, don't you know Zhang Shi's purpose?"

Yu Mingchuan finally stopped and looked at Xue Yan. His eyes were cold, but he was not facing Xue Yan.

"Since he wants to rope you in, he should send you food. Didn't his brother Zhang Mao send you a woman?"

Yu Mingchuan didn't answer Xue Yan. He just patted his shoulder and continued to pull Lu Qing along.

Lu Qing was so conflicted that she wanted to die. Why did he keep dragging her? Wasn't it better for her to go to the Hechang City with the other widows? Weren't they supposed to be unladylike? Why did he suddenly want her as his personal guard?

Han Shuo muttered to himself. This father was being too rough with his mother, no, no.

Not long after, they arrived at a high platform. Yu Mingchuan told an old man about the dishes and wine and dragged Lu Qing into a small earthen room.

Yu Mingchuan was too tall and was about to hit the roof.

Once inside, Yu Mingchuan took off his helmet and casually tidied his hair. Lu Qing then realized that he didn't have his hair tied up like a normal man, but had tied it behind his head. Was this the legendary Wei Jin's demeanor?

He didn't let go of Lu Qing's sleeve until Yu Mingchuan sat on a mat made of fur. When he sat down, Lu Qing also followed suit and bent down as well.

"Killing Shi Hu is your dowry?"

A devilish face suddenly approached, and an unfathomable cold pond seemed to be hidden within his slender eyes.
