Chapter 94: Interrogation

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

When they met for the first time, she, though tossed in panic at the very beginning, regained her calmness quickly and talked with him in absolute composure afterwards.

Now, facing Du Yong, a total stranger, instead of feeling nervous, she was way to calm. Though knowing she had told a lie, he couldn’t debunk her at all.

Nobody knew where she came from. Her words then were also improvised lies.

“Thanks very much for your assistance, general.”

With her mouth corner curled upward slightly, An Rushuang turned around to make a curtsy to Meng Li, whose demeanor was like that of a well-bred noble lady.

Meng Li caught a glimpse of her in coldness with a nod. The gentleness and warm smile on his face had disappeared without a trace, which seemed to be no more than an illusion to An Rushuang.

This man was more indifferent than An Rushuang herself.

With a frown, An Rushuang couldn’t help feeling doubted. What was he doing on earth?Please visit our listnovel.com

Among the three, merely Du Yong set his mind at ease. He edged to Meng Li with a chuckle. “General, you should have told me earlier...”

Or he surely wouldn’t have made a fool of himself.

Meng Li shot a piercing stare at Du Yong whose heart suddenly sunk under his sharp gaze.

With his shanks in shudder, Du Yong at once held back his tongue and turned to An Rushuang standing nearby before asking in curiosity, “Miss, will you wait here tonight?”

Of course not.

An Rushuang thought to herself. She would be in danger if the wolves turned up...

Considering she couldn’t tell the truth to Du Yong, An Rushuang prevaricated, “It’s too late to go back by myself. I have no choice but to stay here temporarily. Maybe another caravan will pass by before dawn.”

Upon hearing her words, Du Yong, staring at her inflamed eyes, at once forgot the legend about the female ghost, as well as his great panic just then.

He edged toward Meng Li and said attentively, “General, let the poor girl stay in the military camp tonight. We can ask her to leave when the caravan comes.”

It was also Du Yong who said to the general when he treated the woman with great tenderness that there mustn’t be a woman at the military camp.

An Rushuang was a little stunned.

Du Yong continued in patience, “General, given her body shape, does she look like a woman? With her bosom... not big enough, she can put on a soft leather armor and pretend to be a hostler.”

Bearing the humiliation in silence, An Rushuang glared at Du Yong with great hatred. Though it was for her own good, was there a need to belittle her like this?!

Meng Li, with his lip corner curled upward slightly, fixed his eyes on An Rushuang. This little liar was really... not sexy enough.

“Huh, indeed...”

Considering his attitude was a little softened, Du Yong added in a hurry, “It will take us a whole day to accompany her to the nearest village, very impractical concerning the various military affairs. If we leave her alone, she will surely be killed by the wolves at night... It’s a pity, right?”

Meng Li glanced sideways at him with a frown, as if he was really bothered by her situation.

An Rushuang turned to Meng Li in confusion. Even if Du Yong knew nothing about her, he should understand her dilemma. It was impossible for her to stay at anywhere. If she pretended to be a hostler in the army, how could she explain her absence in the daytime?

What’s more, An Rushuang didn’t intend to stay here every night. After her birthday party, she must go to the Five-altar Temple to visit the Master Wuchen.

She had never arrived here during the days she passed out. The monk she met in her dream must have something to do with the Five-altar Temple.

“Not necessary.” An Rushuang answered in a hurry after a second thought.

“All right,” Meng Li said at the same time.

Out of her expectation, they actually held the opposite opinion.

An Rushuang standing on the top of the dune had an eye contact with him standing at the foot of the dune.

Her eyes sparkled with doubt, while his flickered with resoluteness.

What was he thinking on earth?

With his lip corner curled upward slightly, Meng Li restated his opinion, “Since there is no caravan passing by now, you might as well stay at the military camp tonight.”

“No way!”

An Rushuang refused by shaking her head. “I can’t live at the camp. Perhaps, a caravan will come tonight. We can talk about it tomorrow.” She raised her head in worry to look towards the east. There was only a bright moon high in the sky. The dawn was still far far away.

Du Yong strode forward and said to her in a low-pitched voice, “Miss, what’s wrong with you? You will surely regret when our general changes his mind. Thank him for his kindness at once. You have no idea how terrible the desert is at night.”

“I don’t want to stay in the camp.”

An Rushuang was very stubborn. She suddenly felt confused that why she didn’t wake up at the camp but on the horseback instead?

Was she related not to a horse but to this general named Yun Ran?

Their eyes burnt with anger when they had an eye-contact. Du Yong continued to exhorted An Rushuang patiently, “You have no idea how dangerous the desert is at night. Did you hear the wolves howl just then? Such a little girl like you is no more than an appetizer to the wolf! What’s more, the legend about the ghost is true. Maybe there are only men on the battlefield, so the ghost will transform into a woman. If you stay in the desert alone, the ghost may turn into a man to kill you instead!”

An Rushuang forced a smile before saying, “It’s really unnecessary... to go to the camp.”

“Give me a reason.”

Ignoring Du Yong’s chatter, Meng Li raised his head to stare at her and said coldly.

Intending to repeat her words originally, An Rushuang, given the seriousness in his eyes, suddenly doubted which reason he wanted on earth.

The reason she came to the desert?

An Rushuang didn’t know either why she was bound up with him.

Feeling the intense atmosphere, Du Yong, with his Adam’s apple moving slightly, intended to try again in discreetness, “Miss...”

“Get out of here!” Meng Li ordered him in calmness, but with full authority.

With a shudder, Du Yong put his feet together, climbed up the big date horse awkwardly and dashed forward.

Bathed in the serene moonlight, Meng Li turned to An Rushuang and said slowly, his eyes as sharp as a blade. “Tell me why you came here and why you lied to me...”

Why did you always keep a distance from me?
