The General Is Still Unmarried

Hearing the voices coming from the crowd, Mu Tong quickly glanced at Xiao Yao without drawing attention to himself. Seeing that she still wore her usual impassive expression, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Just as they were about to pass beneath the building where Yunyan stood, Xiao Yao looked up. She tightened her grip on the reins and brought her horse to a halt, staring blankly at Yunyan, who looked down at her. “General?” The moment she stopped, Mu Tong called out to Xiao Yao in alarm. Following her gaze, he saw a woman looking down at them with a gentle smile. Mu Tong clearly remembered the Marshal saying to keep Xiao Yao away from Yunyan of the Yihua Brothel if possible. So he deliberately moved closer to Xiao Yao. A head taller than her, he could almost block her view. His obvious attempt to shield her was noticed by everyone, but no one wondered why. They were all too focused on why Xiao Yao had stopped to pay attention to what he was doing. “My lady! The general is looking up!” Yue’er cried in alarm, turning to her mistress. Her mistress was staring at the people below, her heart already in turmoil. To everyone else, it was an utterly ordinary exchange of glances. But to Mu Tong, it was veiled in mist, impossible to see through or understand.
