Under the bright moonlight, the grass swayed against the wind and the barrack lamps were lit.

The army set up camp beneath Mount Jiangling, dozens of miles from the capital.

The lights in Han Moze’s big tent shone brightly.

Han Moze was sitting cross-legged on the bed, concentrating on adjusting his inner breath and studying techniques.

Out of nowhere, Han Moze’s eyes shot wide open and his gaze was cold as ice.

Xu Ziling arrived outside his tent curtains with a sweet, shy smile that resembled a cotton rose. In her little, delicate hands, she carried a bowl of steaming hot congee.

Xu Ziling turned her head to look over at the corner of the room where the wind blew. “Your Majesty big brother, the wind tonight is strong, so I especially called someone to cook you a bowl of bird nest congee to warm you up.”

Han Moze softly furrowed his sharp brows and spoke with a cold look on his face. “I don’t need it. You should head back!”

Xu Ziling’s mood instantly fell. Why was it so difficult to get close to him? She glanced at the congee in her hands, then pleaded with him. “Your Majesty big brother, just eat a little. I beg you. Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep well tonight.”

Han Moze furrowed his handsome, sword-like brows. “Zuiying, escort Young Lady Xu back!” He commanded.

Zuiying flew out from the shadows and dropped to one knee. “Yes, Your Majesty,” he replied.

Then, Zuiying got up and strode out of the tent. “Young Lady Xu, please go back,” he told Xu Ziling flatly.

Xu Ziling took half a step forward and spoke in a chilling voice. “Move aside! I want to go inside!”

Zuiying crossed his arms and stood in front of the curtains. “Young Lady Xu, His Majesty told you to head back! You should head back! Otherwise, don’t blame me for using force on you!” He repeated flatly.

Xu Ziling scowled at Zuiying. “Do you know who I am? You dare speak to me like this?!”

Zuiying glanced back at the tent, then looked back at the bowl of congee. He thought about it for a moment, then reached his hand out to carry the congee and swung his head back, gulping down the whole bowl.

Xu Ziling was left suddenly stunned. She looked at Zuiying dumbfounded, as he ate all the congee.

After Zuiying finished the congee, he let out a satisfying sigh, then gave the bowl back. “Young Lady Xu, you may leave now, right?” He said emotionlessly.

Xu Ziling abruptly came to her senses and bellowed in anger. “You dare eat the congee I prepared for His Majesty? Y-you… are outrageous! Move aside! I want to go inside and ask Big Brother to get justice for me!”

Zuiying glanced back at the tent, then smirked and took a step closer to Xu Ziling.

Xu Ziling couldn’t help but take a step back and look at the handsome, teasing look on Zuiying’s face. “W-what… do you want to do?” She said worriedly with clenched fists.

With that said, she was just about to turn and barge into the tent. However, Zuiying swiftly blocked her way and closed in step-by-step so she couldn’t rush in.

“Young Lady Xu, I used to be a low-life. When I used to meet pretty girls on the road, I would… If Young Lady Xu insists on staying here, I cannot guarantee that I won’t do something indecent.” Zuiying pulled a wicked smirk in the corner of his mouth.

“Q-quit… pretending! You can’t fool me!” Cried Xu Ziling with pursed her lips and a flustered look on her face.

Zuiying suddenly lowered his head and closed in on Xu Ziling’s charming nose. “Young Lady Xu, should I demonstrate that for you now?” He whispered.

Xu Ziling was suddenly stunned and staggered back with an embarrassed look on her flustered face. “You’re Zuiying, right? I’ll remember you! One of these days, I’ll… I’ll… Just you wait and see!” She cried whilst she scowled at Zuiying.

With those ferocious words, Xu Ziling spun around and ran off.

How could there be shadow guards like him? Was he there to deliberately go against her?
