Chapter 99 Promise yourself
Wang An saw that Cao Yunmeng was getting angry, so he stopped teasing her.

Unexpectedly, Cao Yunmeng took it seriously. She crossed her arms across her chest in anger and pouted as she said, "Tell me, how do you want me to repay you?"

Wang An shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, I was just joking with you."

Cao Yunmeng said seriously: "I never owe anyone a favor. Just tell me what you want in return, so that you don't have to use the favor of saving your life to blackmail me in the future!"

Although Wang An didn't want to argue with a woman, he was still so unruly even though he had saved her. Wang An was a little angry, so he blurted out: "Since ancient times, heroes have always saved beauties by offering their bodies for them, haven't they?"

"Besides, you are my princess. If you really want to repay me, we can have our wedding night tonight!"

After saying these two angry words, Wang An immediately regretted it.

Because he had some understanding of Cao Yunmeng's temper, he didn't know how Cao Yunmeng would be upset by his almost teasing words.

But after waiting for a while, Cao Yunmeng strangely didn't say anything.

Wang An looked over with some surprise, only to see Cao Yunmeng's face flushed and her eyes looking at him strangely.

Wang An's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Oh no, could this girl really want to marry him?
If that were the case, wouldn't I be unable to get rid of it in the future?
Although Cao Yunmeng was considered a beauty, Wang An had no interest in such a willful woman.

He likes someone like Xiao Zhao, who is gentle, virtuous and family-oriented.

After all, you marry your wife, not your ancestors.

Thinking of this, Wang An immediately stuttered and tried to make amends, "Um... it was just a joke, don't take it seriously!"

Unexpectedly, it would have been better if Wang An had not taken any remedy. As a result, this remedy immediately stirred up a hornet's nest.

Cao Yunmeng's eyes, which were originally somewhat watery, immediately widened to the size of copper bells, and she said angrily: "Bah, who do you think really wants to marry me?"

"A toad dreams of eating swan flesh!"

After cursing, Cao Yunmeng immediately turned around and walked away.

Wang Andao was not angry, just a little helpless.

It seems that I have to be more careful with my words in the future, so as not to offend this girl again and make my family restless.

However, what neither of them noticed was that there was a pair of eyes in the back altar watching all of this.

After Cao Yunmeng left, Xiao Zhao suddenly appeared beside Wang An, helping An clean up the leftovers while comforting her with kind words: "Miss, this is just your temper. In fact, all new places are good."

Wang An smiled bitterly and said nothing, then returned to his desk to continue processing official documents.

Xiao Zhao cleared the cups and plates, then walked over to Wang An and poured him a cup of tea.

Wang An looked at the virtuous Xiao Zhao and suddenly felt something in his heart and said with emotion: "This is what a good wife looks like..."

Xiao Zhao's hand shook and the tea spilled onto the table.

Seeing this, Wang An quickly reached out to wipe it to prevent the tea from wetting the documents.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhao also hurriedly wiped it with her sleeves. During this action, their hands accidentally touched each other.

When Wang An's palm covered Xiao Zhao's bare hand, time seemed to stop, and the two looked at each other motionlessly.

The air gradually became strange, and sparks seemed to fly when the two looked at each other. It was the first time that Wang An looked at Xiao Zhao so seriously. In the past, Xiao Zhao was Cao Yunmeng's maid, and Wang An always remembered the etiquette and did not observe carefully.

Now, after taking a closer look, he suddenly discovered that Xiao Zhao was also extremely beautiful, but she was dressed rather plainly, so her beauty was not noticeable in normal times.

But now that I look at it carefully, it really becomes more and more attractive.

Wang An swallowed his saliva unconsciously and held Xiao Zhao's hand with a little more force.

However, with just this tiny movement, Xiao Zhao immediately turned into a frightened deer and quickly pulled his hand back.

Flustered and somewhat at a loss, he said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, Xiao Zhao didn't mean it!"

"Um, let me get the rag!"

Having said that, Xiao Zhao left in a hurry.

Wang An sighed slightly and suppressed the desire that was rising in his heart.

As a modern person, facing such a virtuous and innocent beauty in ancient costume, it would be a lie to say that I don’t have any thoughts in my mind.

Especially Xiao Zhao's willing look just now could arouse the man's desire to the greatest extent.

If Xiao Zhao hadn't run fast, Wang An would have really worried that he would do something worse than an animal.

After calming down for a long time, Wang An finally got back to work.

…………

At the same time, thirty miles outside Baicheng.

A team of more than a hundred people was stationed in the area where Wang An and the little prince had fought. A maid in tight clothes observed the battlefield and came to a beautiful girl on horseback and said, "Daughter Eighth Princess, there are traces of fighting here. From the traces, we can infer that the fighting was very brutal and quick."

"From this we can see that although the forces that fought against the little prince cannot be called elite, their combat effectiveness is also very good."

The girl on the horse is Xiao Yu'er. At this moment, she has her face covered, leaving only a pair of watery eyes exposed. While observing the surrounding environment, she nodded in agreement and said, "There are a lot of bloodstains on the ground. Even after being covered by the wind and sand for the past few days, it is still clearly visible. It shows that the enemy is very brutal. The iron station has the advantage of numbers. If it weren't for the random slashing of swords, there would definitely not be so much blood splattered!"

Ah Yu's eyes suddenly showed worry, and she couldn't help but persuade him: "Your Highness, the enemy is so fierce and it can be seen that they have a lot of troops. Do we really have to attack Baicheng alone?"

Xiao Yuer just gave Ah Yu a cold look and then asked, "Do we have any extra power?"

Ah Yu was confused, and after a moment she bit her lip and said, "The Western Khan is leading a team of elite soldiers following us ten miles away. As long as Your Highness is willing to ask, I believe he will be happy to send troops to help us!"

Xiao Yu'er showed a trace of sadness in her eyes, and said coldly: "But you should also know the price of asking him for help."

Ah Yu showed a conflicted look in her eyes. After a moment, she made up her mind and said, "At the Mo Nan Alliance, the Western Khan looked at me with a wicked look. He even sent someone to ask me in private whether I was willing to go to the Western Khan."

"If Your Highness agrees, Ayu is willing to go alone to ask the Western Khan to send troops to help!"

Xiao Yuer then showed a hint of surprise in her eyes, and asked in surprise: "Why didn't you tell me about this, Ah Yu?"

Without waiting for Ah Yu to answer, Xiao Yuer shook her head and said, "Forget it, this matter is not important anymore!"
