General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 534: Crisis of Trust (2)

It's just a small cabbage, its body is dry and full of bones, its face is dull and lifeless, its hair is dry and yellow, and its skin is dark and dry. How can Fang Chen call that good-looking?

This is a dangerous question. Fang Chen felt the hairs on his back stand up. Fortunately, he had received advice from an expert. "I am attracted to you as a person, not your appearance. I was not a rough man with a big beard..."

"What was it about me that attracted you in the first place?" Fang Chen asked curiously.

"Your stupidity?" Ji Xiaomu laughed. Until now, she could not forget Fang Chen's silly look when he said seriously that he wanted to marry her.

"..." Fang Chen narrowed his eyes dangerously, and Ji Xiaomu came forward to please him. "Because of your voice? At that time, I thought you were very manly, with a husky voice, which was very nice to hear."

"Voice?" Fang Chen raised his eyebrows. So she likes this?

"I hadn't spoken for several months at that time. When I spoke, my voice was dry..." Fang Chen remembered that he had secluded himself in the mountains at that time, and it had been several months since he last spoke. When he met Ji Xiaomu, he almost couldn't open his mouth.

"That proves that we are destined to be together! We met each other at the right time. If you had met me earlier, I wouldn't have been divorced. If you had met me later, I might not have had any contact with you." Aunt Ji smiled. Fang Chen nodded happily, quite satisfied with the answer.

Fang Chen was driving the carriage. Seeing that the road seemed to be heading towards the city, Ji Xiaomu looked at Fang Chen in confusion. "Where are we going?"

"Let's go back to the city. The Hu family is outside the city right now. Bai Yichen found out that there are spies of the eldest prince in the city. Let's think of a way to let them in." Fang Chen explained.

"Didn't we tell them to come in disguise?" asked Ji Xiaomu.

"The faces of the Hu family soldiers are too obvious to disguise themselves." Fang Chen said. "And they refused to shave their beards."

"They say beards are a symbol of their manliness and they must not shave them."

"Then what's the point of looking for me?" Ji Xiaowu looked confused. She didn't have the ability to convince them. It was their first meeting. Why should they listen to her, right?

"They asked to see you." Fang Chen replied.

"When you say you want to see me, you probably want to see you, right?" Ji Xiaomu raised her eyebrows. She didn't believe his nonsense. How could a soldier want to see a woman like her? It was obvious that he was using her as an excuse to see Fang Chen.

"...I want to see you too." Fang Chen touched his nose guiltily.

"Haha, do you think I still believe you?" Mother Ji raised her eyebrows and looked at Fang Chen expressionlessly.

"We're here." They had just arrived at their destination, a remote courtyard near the outskirts of the city. Fang Chen chuckled and quickly pulled Ji Xiaomu out of the carriage. Bai Yichen, Old Hu and Qu Jing had already been waiting inside.

"You are finally here!" Bai Yichen saw that the two had finally arrived and immediately came forward to greet them happily. "Mr. Hu has been waiting for a long time."

"Madam, General!" When Old Hu saw Ji Xiaowu and Fang Chen, his eyes lit up and he said anxiously. "We were followed by the eldest prince's men and our whereabouts were exposed on the road, but fortunately I successfully led them to the fourth prince's city. Although we successfully led the eldest prince's men away, we were also in a dilemma. The Hu family will be too obvious. Once exposed in front of people..."

"It's impossible to hide it." Hu Lao said helplessly. "These guys refuse to shave their beards, I..."
