Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 98 is so cute!

Only after the footsteps faded into the distance did Gu Qingyue finally come to her senses, stroking her chin as she pondered deeply.

Mu Yun Chu's health really needs proper care. After rummaging through the medicinal herbs she had in her space, Gu Qing Yue thought of a very suitable prescription. Therefore, she stood up and prepared to return to the camp to get the medicine.

I felt my hand sink, and I was grabbed again.

Gu Qingyue turned around, her eyes questioning.

"Wait, stay with me a little longer," Mu Yun Chu said, her ears burning slightly as she held the soft, delicate hand in hers.

But he didn't want to let go.

Gu Qingyue paused, her eyes widening as she looked at his hesitant expression. She quickly said, "I won't listen to your military secrets. I don't want to know things I shouldn't know. Don't get me into trouble."

After saying that, he tried to pull his hand away, but couldn't.

Mu Yun Chu stubbornly held her hand, neither moving nor speaking.

Gu Qingyue sighed.

"Go ahead and tell me. If it's a secret or something, I'll close my ears."

Suddenly, a man's soft laughter came from beside her ear, "Close your ears?"

Gu Qingyue was furious. What was wrong with this man today? What did he want to do?

She didn't want to cause trouble.

Gu Qingyue glared angrily, her phoenix eyes fixed on the man's hand, wishing she could poke a hole in it.

Push hard, don't move, then push hard again.

"Speak, I'm listening," Gu Qingyue said, exasperated. This man was so stubborn; if he didn't give her a straight answer, she was going to take action.

"Sit down," Mu Yun Chu said, not wanting to irritate the girl, so she withdrew her hand at the right moment and naturally asked her to sit down.

Gu Qingyue sat down casually like a man, leaning back in his chair with an expression that said, "I'm very impatient right now."

Mu Yun Chu couldn't help but chuckle softly again.

Qingyue is so adorable!

Gu Qingyue: ......

So why is she sitting here watching this handsome, almost demonic man grinning like an idiot?

She can't handle it, okay?

Especially that clear yet slightly magnetic voice, it's so beautiful it's like my ears are pregnant!

"Go ahead and speak," Gu Qingyue said, suppressing her restless heart and trying to sound casual.

"Ahem------" Mu Yun Chu composed herself and said calmly, "A Nanzhao merchant caravan is going to enter Yuding Pass in ten days. We have received information that there will be Nanzhao spies among the caravan. I have to go there in person to arrange for our people to go in. You come with me."

Caravan? Spy?

That's true. Although there are ongoing conflicts on the border between the Great Chu and the Nanzhao Kingdom, private trade has not been prohibited. As long as the goods are legitimate and declared before entering the country, the government will not restrict them. Neither side has officially declared war. Therefore, even though the border is turbulent and there are constant conflicts, it does not affect the exchange of goods.

Suddenly, he remembered Mo Shaoshang, the wealthy merchant from Nanzhao whom he had saved. He also had a medicinal herb business, mainly selling medicinal herbs from Nanzhao to Da Chu, and his business had not been interrupted.

Gu Qingyue could understand these things, but she wasn't particularly interested in them.

However, when it came to spies, she suddenly became excited.

Her favorite thing to do was capture spies from the Nanzhao Kingdom!

You could try participating in this.

Seeing the intense interest in the girl's eyes, Mu Yun Chu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, suddenly relaxed. This woman was actually a bold and reckless person who seemed to thrive on chaos!

You can tell by how excited she gets whenever she encounters an enemy.

Gu Qingyue pondered for only a few moments before becoming eager to go. However, she turned to Mu Yun Chu and said, "What can I do? This isn't a good idea, is it? I'm just a doctor."

Listen to this; in order to pay attention to details, even the tea flavor of the white lotus flower has come out.

Gu Qingyue expressed no pressure, as long as she could achieve her goal.

Mu Yun Chu couldn't help but cough lightly, covering her lips.

"This mission is very secretive and we won't be taking too many people. You are skilled in combat and medicine, and I need you to take care of my health. You are the best candidate."

Mu Yun Chu's expression was very solemn and sincere.

"Is that alright? I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the task and will hold you back," Gu Qingyue said modestly.

"It's alright, just follow my arrangements," Mu Yun Chu said calmly and expressionlessly.

"Deal!" Quick and direct.

Mu Yun Chu was taken aback for a moment. Gu Qing Yue realized she had spoken too quickly again and quickly added, "Ahem... I meant, you are a captain, so I will listen to you."

After saying that, he calmly stood up.

"Then I'll go to the medical tent first," she said, and walked out of Mu Yun Chu's tent with steady (disorderly) steps.

Watching someone's relaxed yet hastily fleeing figure, Mu Yun Chu's lips curled into a smile again.

Gu Qingyue returned to the small tent with unsteady steps, plopped down on the small bed, and only then realized that she had underestimated him. He was the one who needed her help, so why did she run away like that!

Something's wrong. Something's very wrong with me. When I'm around Mu Yun Chu, my IQ seems to always be stuck.

She gritted her teeth! She's the doctor, he's the patient, he has to listen to her, what's she afraid of!

Entering her space in a flash, Gu Qingyue began to rummage through the medicinal herbs she had planted a couple of days ago. Several of them were rare herbs that she had obtained from deep in the mountains, including the Lisheng Grass. There was already a small patch of Lisheng Grass in her space that was waving its little hands, indicating that it was about to mature. Gu Qingyue felt extremely happy.

After organizing the medicinal herbs that Mu Yun Chu needed, he flashed out of the space.

After thinking it over, she decided that she should brew the medicine herself, so she set up a medicine pot in her small tent and began to brew the medicine.

On second thought, he decided to make the pills into plump, round ones. After all, he was often on missions and couldn't brew medicine every day; pills were much more convenient.

So Gu Qingyue stayed in her small tent and spent a whole noon and afternoon making fifty pills, exactly a fifty-day supply.

After she collected the medicine pot and the small furnace, she ran to the martial arts arena to join in the fun, but the event had already ended. Gu Qingyue was so angry that she gritted her teeth and directly blamed Mu Yun Chu for this. She had to get some compensation, otherwise she would suffer a huge loss!

She's never seen a military competition before!

Ten days later, early in the morning, Gu Qingyue carried a backpack full of stuff and headed towards Mu Yun Chu's tent.

As soon as she entered, she met Mu Nan's meaningful gaze, which made Gu Qingyue's hair stand on end. He was crazy!

These past few days, the way he looked at her had been sometimes complicated, sometimes pitying, and sometimes meaningful, and she was about to lose her temper.

But Gu Qingyue said she wouldn't hold a grudge against someone with a mental illness.

Today, Mu Yun Chu was dressed in a black outfit with simple lines outlined in gold thread on the collar and cuffs. Although the style was simple, it made her look noble and elegant.

One more look, and she has a jade belt around her waist, a jade hairpin in her hair, and a thin black cloak over her shoulders. As she turns around, she exudes a free and unrestrained charm.

It captivated Gu Qingyue's eyes.

The enemy is too strong, can we retreat?

Gu Qingyue quickly lowered her eyes, not daring to look anymore.

I wondered if this man was being so flamboyant today because he wanted to go on a blind date.

As Mu Yun Chu turned around, she took in Gu Qing Yue's reaction. The moment she lowered her head, a slight smile appeared on her lips, but it vanished in an instant.

Even Mu Nan, who was closest to him, didn't notice.

The operation involved nine people. After Mu Yun Chu assigned each person their tasks, they quickly left the camp and mounted their horses.

As they rode at breakneck speed, Gu Qingyue would occasionally glance at Mu Yun Chu's back as he galloped ahead, her thoughts drifting to his recent injuries. She wondered how well they were healing and whether he could withstand the intensity of riding.

Coming to my senses, I then berated myself for being such a nagging mother. Just because someone doesn't say anything doesn't mean it's okay. Why did I have to think so much?

Throughout the journey, Gu Qingyue spent most of the day riding at full speed, filled with worry and reflection.

I tumbled off the horse, my legs went weak, and I almost fell flat on my face. Damn it!

Looking around and finding no one paying attention, Gu Qingyue quickly tightened her grip on the reins, composed herself, and after a few moments, threw away the reins and gracefully followed Mu Yun Chu and the others into a small house.

As soon as I entered, I was dazzled by the yard full of carts, all loaded with goods. One whiff and I knew they were medicinal herbs. What was this? Were they just robbed?
