Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Bastard...... Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Bastard...... “Lord, can you put the knife down first?” Tuoba Hong said with a smile on his face. Mu Yan coldly glanced at Tuoba Hong. Immediately, Tuoba Hong turned to his servant and ordered, “Why haven’t you brought Lord Mu the Ferghana horse yet!” Before long, a shiny red-haired steed was led over. Tuoba Hong took out a stack of silver notes from his robe and handed them to Mu Yan. After looking at the silver note briefly, Mu Yan accepted it and, with his knife pointed at Tuoba Hong, mounted the horse. “Lord, what about the battle plans?” Tuoba Hong stretched out a hand, reminding him. Riding on the horse, Mu Yan threw the battle plans down and galloped away. Tuoba Hong bent down to pick up the battle plans from the ground, and after looking at them, his gaze turned sinister as he watched Mu Yan depart. “Lord, shall we pursue?” the lead captain eagerly inquired. Pointing at the lead captain’s nose, Tuoba Hong cursed, “Useless! He’s on a Ferghana horse, who could possibly catch him!” The Western Rong soldiers all lowered their heads dejectedly. Tuoba Hong clenched the battle plans in his hand and said, “Wait until we take Fengyu Pass, then it won’t be too late to kill him!” ... When Zhan Lan arrived at Fengyu Pass, dusty and travel-worn, it was already midnight. Just then, she encountered Mu Yan, who had returned on the Ferghana horse with Vermilion Bird. Zhan Lan had just taken off her shoes, shaking out the sand that was inside them and her pant legs. Seeing that Mu Yan was unharmed and had returned with the Ferghana horse, Zhan Lan ironically thought to herself that only she had suffered such hardship. It’s better to be a treacherous official, isn’t it! Mu Yan, sitting high on his horse, looked down at Zhan Lan sitting there without minding her manners, glanced at her, and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, the Ferghana horse he was leading suddenly ran uncontrollably toward Zhan Lan and nuzzled her arm with its cheek. Zhan Lan also quite liked the horse, she casually stroked its mane. The horse flared its nostrils, blowing out hot air, and excitedly flicked its tail. Mu Yan observed the unusual behavior of the Ferghana horse and, leading the reins, coldly walked away. The two didn’t exchange a word. Vermilion Bird, however, inwardly lamented: The Master was acting petulant towards Miss Zhan, angry that she didn’t look after him, leaving him alone in the Western Rong camp, and went off by herself. Looking at Mu Yan’s horse, Zhan Lan felt extremely envious, thinking Mu Yan was so lucky! Such a precious horse would surely be the fastest on the battlefield. Mu Yan easily entered Fengyu Pass, while Zhan Lan was blocked by the guards outside the city wall. Moreover, Zhan Lan was being pointed at with spears, suspected of being a spy. Zhan Lan calmly explained, “I am a Zhan Family person, my elder brother is Zhan Hui, just call him over, and you’ll see!” However, the guard didn’t believe Zhan Lan’s words at all. Zhan Lan shouted towards Mu Yan’s fading back, “Lord Mu, please wait!” Mu Yan turned back to look at Zhan Lan, pointed at by the Zhan Family Army with spears, and the corner of his mouth seemed to curve up slightly. Serves that woman right! Why was she so heartless, leaving him alone in the enemy camp, without a care! Thinking of how Zhan Lan had been eager to see Zhan Hui, Mu Yan felt even more displeased! He darkly cursed as he looked at Zhan Lan’s expectant gaze: Dead woman, only now does she think of him! In her haste, Zhan Lan said to the guards, “My identity as a Zhan Family person is true, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Lord Mu here!” Not all of the Zhan Family Army knew Zhan Lan, who was on the battlefield for the first time; at the moment, only Mu Yan could verify her identity. Otherwise, being treated as a spy, she might even suffer a severe interrogation and torture. The guard bowed to ask Lord Mu, “Lord Supervisor, do you recognize her?” Mu Yan looked up and down at Zhan Lan, who wore a plastered smile, and unexpectedly said in a cold voice, “I don’t recognize her!” Zhan Lan’s smiling face shattered bit by bit. The guard’s spear tip pressed closer to Zhan Lan’s throat, barking, “Take her away and lock her up!” Zhan Lan shook her head at Long Kong, who was about to resist, and said, “No need, it’ll be fine once I see my big brother!” Mu Yan, seated on a high horse, watched indifferently as Zhan Lan and the others were taken away. Zhan Lan glared at Mu Yan, squeezing three words through her clenched teeth, “Scumbag man!” This scumbag Mu Yan, with his handsome human appearance and dog-like essence—what exquisite beauty, it’s all an illusion, his heart’s black as coal! Watching Zhan Lan’s disgusted eyes, Mu Yan sneered, his lips curving into a mocking smile as he left. Vermilion Bird silently offered a stick of incense for his master, seeing how he tormented Miss Zhan. While other men would desperately try to win a lady’s favor, he was doing the complete opposite. Now, it would be even harder to earn Miss Zhan’s heart! A group including Zhan Lan was escorted to prison. Zhan Lan was almost driven to laughter by anger! Her hands were bound by chains hanging from the wall, she shook the chains and said, “Zhan Hui is my older brother, get him here, I am not a spy!” The guard sneered and said, “Quit being so stubborn, if Young General is your older brother, then I’d be the Young General’s younger brother!” Zhan Lan retorted coldly, “I know where the Zhan Family’s ancestral hall is, how many people, how many servants there are, get Zhan Hui here, or bring me to General Zhan Beicang, and he’ll recognize me upon sight!” The guard looked coldly at Zhan Lan, “Do you think General Zhan is someone you can see whenever you wish? Just wait. The Young General is out on night patrol and hasn’t come back yet!” The guard didn’t dare to be careless; if this girl really were a spy and brought before General Zhan, it could be dangerous. They wouldn’t be fooled! Better to wait for the Young General to come back. Zhan Lan, helpless, leaned against the cold walls of the cell and cursed Mu Yan eighteen times over as a scumbag man! ... Mu Yan in his tent sneezed violently twice. “That woman Zhan Lan must be cursing me!” Mu Yan shook the night light cup in his hand and took a sip of grape wine. The grape wine from Western Rong was indeed delicious and sweet. “When will Zhan Hui return?” Mu Yan inquired. Vermilion Bird answered respectfully, “Master, after inquiring, he should return in about two hours!” Mu Yan looked at the red fermented wine, his eyes lit up, and instructed Vermilion Bird, “Go, send a jar of grape wine to the guards watching over Zhan Lan, along with two roasted chickens, and make sure they drink in front of Zhan Lan.” Hearing Mu Yan’s order, Vermilion Bird’s head grew heavy; the master was getting further and further away on the road to pursuing Miss Zhan. It seemed like a point of no return! With no choice, he could only say, “Yes, Master.” Before long, after a busy night, Zhan Lan’s stomach growled, and it was likely that Long Kong and others locked in other rooms weren’t faring well either. Now, they just had to wait for Zhan Hui’s return! Zhan Lan’s hands were suspended, she leaned tiredly against the straw stack, ready to sleep, when suddenly, the savory scent of braised meat mixed with alcohol wafted into her nostrils. Zhan Lan snapped her eyes open to see Vermilion Bird bringing in the delicious food and wine. He handed it personally to the guard. Secretly hopeful in her heart, Zhan Lan hoped that Mu Yan had earlier pretended not to recognize her on purpose, leading to her being thrown into the dungeon, and that now he felt guilty and had come to apologize! She sat up somewhat haughtily, deliberately ignoring Vermilion Bird. Yet in her mind, she thought: Maybe the scumbag man does have a conscience after all!
