46: Chapter 0046 Love-Obsessed

Mu Wanying saw this and hurriedly ran in front of Lin Xiao, spreading her arms to block him.

"General Wu! Stop at once!!"

More than a dozen figures appeared from behind the woods on the high slope.

"My dear Lin, I'm sorry. I didn't expect them to come out. They must have been waiting for a long time and came looking for me."

Mu Wanying looked at Lin Xiao nervously, afraid that the man would misunderstand.

Seeing the woman protecting him, Lin Xiao naturally wouldn't be angry.

"Don't be nervous. I came here to suppress bandits, so it's normal for them to attack me."

Mu Wanying breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and immediately went up to meet the dozen or so people.

The dozen or so robust men arrived in front of Mu Wanying, all with puzzled expressions.

"Eldest Miss, what is going on?"

"Isn't that a government official?"

"Why are you protecting him?"

Mu Wanying shook her head and said to the handsome man leading them:

"General Wu, it's all a misunderstanding. This is Border Army Commander Lin Xiao. Our brothers robbed the Border Army's supplies, and he came for that reason."

"Border Army Commander? Lin Xiao?"

General Wu frowned and looked at Lin Xiao with suspicious eyes.

"Are you that... Lin Xiao who killed the Northern Barbarians' vanguard general, Bate, and forced back ten thousand iron cavalry?"

When he said this, the other members of the Mu Family Army were also shocked, looking over with surprised expressions.

Lin Xiao smiled, "What, do I not look like it?"

Upon seeing General Wu Jinzhe's information, Lin Xiao almost couldn't hold it together!

It seems that for this General Wu, leading troops in battle is just life, but wood is his true love!

Mu Wanying looked surprised, "What? The person who defeated the Northern Barbarian Army is my dear Lin?!"

She had only heard of such a person before, but news in Wansong County was not very well-informed, and she wasn't very clear about the details.

If it was Lin Xiao, she really believed it; after all, the man's martial arts were too strong!

"Eldest Miss, what did you call him?"

General Wu Jinzhe and the others were shocked. Upon closer inspection, they realized that Mu Wanying's hairstyle had changed!

Women of the Great Gan can basically tell whether someone is married based on their hairstyle.

For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded, looking disbelieving!

Although Mu Wanying was shy for a moment, she quickly steadied her emotions.

"You heard correctly. I am already my dear Lin's woman."

"If you are willing to follow me, I naturally welcome it, but if you want to leave, I will not stop you."

Mu Wanying said with a calm and generous expression.

"Eldest Miss... how did you... in just one day..."

General Wu Jinzhe glared at Lin Xiao: "Did you force Eldest Miss!?"

"General Wu, don't talk nonsense. My dear Lin did not force me!"

Mu Wanying wanted to explain, but was stopped by Lin Xiao.

"So what if I did? With you bunch of guys, can you bring Wanying a good life?"

"If she follows me, she will have the best food and drink. If she stays with you, she'll be a mountain bandit, drinking the northwest wind?"

Lin Xiao sneered: "If it weren't for Wanying's sake, just because of that arrow earlier, I would have killed you all!!"

When General Wu Jinzhe and the others heard this, they were all ignited!

"Such arrogance. Then I want to see if you are really as powerful as the rumors say!!"

General Wu Jinzhe drew a yellow grade blade and killed his way to Lin Xiao in three steps.

He slashed out, the blade energy dense like thousands of golden scales!

Lin Xiao didn't even use his sword; he casually picked up a tree branch from the ground and swung a wave of blade energy at General Wu Jinzhe!

Flowing Fire Galloping!

The crimson, scorching blade energy surged out!

The Earth Grade blade technique with 50 years of cultivation directly crushed the opponent!

"Bang!!"

With a burst, the Golden Scale blade energy dissipated, and General Wu Jinzhe flew backward!

He propped himself up with his blade, spitting blood!

Everyone looked at Lin Xiao in disbelief, showing expressions of horror!

"You... are you perhaps of heaven grade aptitude!?"

General Wu Jinzhe was sweating all over: "Otherwise, how could you have such cultivation at such a young age!?"

They were all people who had seen the world in the capital.

Even with great talent, someone of Lin Xiao's age shouldn't be able to defeat General Wu Jinzhe in one blow!

The key is, Lin Xiao didn't even use a blade; he just used a tree branch!!

Mu Wanying watched with stars in her beautiful eyes; she hadn't misjudged him, this man was definitely no ordinary person!!

"I said, in my eyes, you are just dispensable small characters!"

Lin Xiao pulled Mu Wanying into his arms and held her tight.

In front of everyone, he sniffed the woman's hair, causing Mu Wanying's body to soften, her face blushing.

"If you submit to me, you will still be the Mu Family Army in the future, serving as Wanying's subordinates."

"If you refuse to submit, then honestly be good citizens. If you dare to be mountain bandits again, I will kill you all!!"

General Wu Jinzhe and the others looked at each other, and finally all nodded, seemingly reaching an agreement.

Everyone immediately put down their weapons and knelt on the ground.

"We are willing to follow General Lin and follow the Eldest Miss!!"

After all, them being mountain bandits was just a helpless move.

Now that they had such a strong backer, and were still serving under Mu Wanying, it couldn't be better!

Lin Xiao had guessed this, so he was not surprised at all.

Mu Wanying breathed a sigh of relief; if these people had really resisted, she wouldn't have been able to protect them.

Follow the chicken, follow the dog; she was now Lin Xiao's woman, so she naturally had to prioritize Lin Xiao's will.

"I'll give you two hours!"

"Wanying and I will wait for you at Wansong Village!"

"Everyone, assemble for me! All supplies and people, follow me back to Baishui City!!"

General Wu Jinzhe accepted the order and went back to gather the brothers.

Lin Xiao then took Mu Wanying and headed back first.

On the way, Mu Wanying's gaze was almost glued to the man's face, as if she couldn't look enough.

"What's wrong? Am I that good-looking?" Although Lin Xiao was thick-skinned, he couldn't quite handle it.

"My dear Lin... tell me, how did you defeat the Northern Barbarian Army with one against ten thousand? I really want to hear it!"

Mu Wanying had been the daughter of a military family since she was a child, and she admired such great heroes on horseback the most.

Lin Xiao naturally couldn't reveal the system, so he had to make things up, speaking eloquently.

But the woman was listening intently, believing everything, definitely wearing love-struck rose-colored glasses!

When he was halfway through, Mu Wanying was overjoyed, feeling that the man in front of her was truly a great hero who stood tall!

She couldn't hold back anymore, directly hugging Lin Xiao's neck, her pair of watery, beautiful eyes full of adoration.

Lin Xiao glanced over; there happened to be a cave nearby...
