"A group of a traveling merchant was found massacred a few days ago," Yan Zifu said . "The son of Minister of Personnel were traveling with the merchant . In the end, he was taken as a hostage . The Minister seeks for the Emperor's aid, and once His Majesty hears about it, he was furious . "

Mingyue frowned . She wondered if the bandits were the reason why her elder brother was summoned into the palace these few days .

If the news were true, then it was possible that Yang Yun and his team will be sent to the mountain for the rescue mission soon .

Mingyue chatted with Yan Zifu and caught up with the latest gossips in town before she left and headed to her grandpa's place .

AdvertisementJust as Mingyue was about to reach her grandpa's residence, she stopped when she saw a familiar figure leaning on the wall .

She hastened her pace to greet him but paused when she saw two beautiful maidens coming from her opposite direction .

Judging from the way the girls acted, Mingyue could guess at what they were trying to do . Just as she had expected, one of the girls dropped her handkerchief as they walked past her fiance .

She bit her lower lips as she anticipated Yang Yun to pick up the handkerchief for the girls . In the end, he didn't .

Mingyue approached him and saw him smiling at her . She held up a hand, picked up the handkerchief and ran after the girls .

"Miss!" Mingyue called out the girls as she waved the handkerchief . "You dropped your handkerchief . "

The two girls turned around with surprise on their face . Once they saw the handkerchief in Mingyue's hand, a flash of annoyance crossed the girls face . One of the maidens accepted the handkerchief with a forced smile . "Thank you . "

"You're welcome . "

Just as she turned around, Mingyue overheard the girls conversations . It seemed that the girl did not drop her handkerchief by accident . They were trying to attract Yang Yun's attention but failed when he did not spare them a glance .

It seemed that it was unnecessary for her to help them return the handkerchief . Mingyue's lips curved into a smile as she approached Yang Yun . "What are you doing here?"

He stood up straight when he heard her voice . "Waiting for you . " He smiled . He held her wrist when she stood closer to him and kissed the inside of her palm .

She lowered her gaze in embarrassment and looked at him again . "I heard my brother assigned you and everyone else into intense training . I didn't expect you to get out of training so soon . "

Yang Yun is a captain of an elite troop under her eldest brother, Jiang Xiao Xian's army . Because of that, he had to undergo intense training every day .

Mingyue had once sneaked in into the training ground and saw the way they trained . Her heart ached seeing how the members of elite troop covered in mud, with their clothes wet from both sweat and rain as they climbed a tall cliff with bare hands .

When she was a few years younger, she always dreamed of joining the army like her brothers . But watching the elite troop trained, she knew that that life would be too much for her .

"The General has been summoned into the palace early this morning . He gave us a day off from training . So I come to see you . "

Mingyue nodded . She studied his expression and spoke again . "Did you not notice a maiden dropped a handkerchief when she walked past you?"

He meets her gaze . "I know . "
