Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant

Mirror

Whether it was the treasure or Mo Linyuan’s head, Zhao Country’s people would want it either way. Because their princess who had an arranged marriage sneaked back, their second prince and the princess’ contingent died a tragic death in Mo Country.

Zhao Country wouldn’t possibly let the lower people know what happened behind the scenes, so the people of Zhao Country thought it was Mo Country that provoked first. This time, Mo Linyuan finally arrived at the borders of the two countries and also brought five hundred people, so this was a really good opportunity.

After waiting for them to run the other way, Ye Mu was worried. “What do we do? From the location of yesterday’s fireworks, Mo Linyuan is definitely near. We can see those people hiding, but Mo Linyuan might not!”

Lin Zhizhao said, “Don’t worry, their target is very obvious, he’ll find out.”

But before long, Ye Mu saw the people who had just run away turn back, it was uncertain where they had hidden the horses. This time, they had part of the people hide in the woods. Although the distance between them was a little far, Ye Mu was on the high ground, so she could see them clearly. After all, they were a lot of people.

“Oh no, they’re hiding here.”

Lin Zhizhao continued reassuring her. “Even if they’re hiding here, Mo Linyuan might not come here and be ambushed by them.”

But after a while, Ye Mu found that another group of people came. Of course, their hiding location was different, but it was as if they deliberately surrounded this mountain. It couldn’t be seen below, but Ye Mu who was above could clearly see their premeditation.

“We’re done for, I’m guessing this mountain is already surrounded by Zhao Country’s people. I only hope Mo Linyuan’s people aren’t divided, or else, it’ll be very easy to ambush them.”

But Ye Mu realized she sort of jinxed it, because before she finished speaking, she saw someone in the distance rushing over. It’s not Mo Linyuan right? It must not be him!

But unfortunately, the other party was Mo Linyuan. Mo Linyuan had the five hundred people disperse to comb the mountain, and he himself was in the very front of a contingent of troops!

Ye Mu saw he was about to fall into Zhao Country’s encirclement, and also, not many people* were brought here. In this heavily outnumbered situation, the moment they weren’t careful, they would be in danger!

*Mo Linyuan’s

“No! I can’t let him come too near, he’ll get hurt! If I shout loudly, do you think he can hear?”

Lin Zhizhao pursed his lips. “If you want to shout then shout, I’ve lost my voice.”

Ye Mu felt her own throat wasn’t well either. Drenched in the water all night, she and Lin Zhizhao had signs of fever. Moreover, they didn’t have anything to eat. Now feeling weak, wanting to shout over the waterfall and also for a very far distance, it truly was impossible.

“But I must notify him! Think, think, I can’t let him come!”

Ye Mu, torn with anxiety, frowned. But suddenly, the moment she looked at Lin Zhizhao, she snatched the mirror from his neck!

“Time of emergency, I’m borrowing!”

Lin Zhizhao was stupefied. “You want to reflect light using the mirror? Are you sure Mo Linyuan can see from this distance?”

Ye Mu clenched her teeth. “There’s no other way, just give medicine to a dead horse*!”

*give medicine to a dead horse (idiom) – to try everything in a desperate situation

So, she held the mirror to the sunlight reflecting it. So long as Mo Linyuan raised his head, he would be able to see the slight reflection! Although it was very small, he would notice the two people alive!

And as it happened, like a telepathy, Mo Linyuan raised his head!

His phoenix eyes squinted, and then he hastily quickened his speed.

“He saw us!” Ye Mu said, pleasantly surprised.

But Lin Zhizhao jabbed, “But he’s running quicker to the enemy’s trap!”

Ye Mu faintly smiled. It’s alright, I have a way!

Saying this, as she reflected the light, she continuously covered the face of the mirror, making it shine and then not.

Wen Feng saw, and then hurriedly said to Mo Linyuan, “Your Majesty, hurry and look, it’s as if Ye-xiaojie is trying to give us a message!”

Mo Linyuan listened, looking up. Looking at the speck of flashing light, everyone didn’t understand Ye Mu’s message, but Mo Linyuan understood, because it was the same thing she taught when they were young, Morse code!

But with such frequency of reflection, it was as if she was saying, “There’s an ambush?”

The moment Mo Linyuan spoke, Wen Feng and the others stood at the ready at once!

“Your Majesty, how can there be an ambush, we don’t see anyone!”

Mo Linyuan attentively stared at the other side, smiling softly.

“The people lying in ambush are in front. There are two groups of people, and they outnumber us.”

Ye Mu saw Mo Linyuan clearly understood what she was saying, and quickly relayed the message one after another.

“It’s the people of Zhao Country.” Mo Linyuan said with a smile, “Wen Feng, go gather our people. Be careful, don’t alert the enemy. We’ll destroy them one by one!”

“Understood!” Wen Feng hurriedly went, but Zi Xu was still puzzled, “Your Majesty, how did you know it’s the people of Zhao Country?”

Mo Linyuan pointed to Ye Mu’s direction. “Xiao Mu-er told me.”

By only relying on the flashing light, she could inform His Majesty it was the people of Zhao Country? What was this ridiculousness? How come they couldn’t understand?

Not only Zi Xu, the dozens of people behind him also couldn’t understand. A while passed, and Mo Linyuan had gathered all the hundreds of people, stealthily approaching the ambushers in the east.

Seeing Mo Linyuan suddenly changing route, Lin Zhizhao was astounded!

“No way? What riddle were you guys playing? Why didn’t I understand?”

Ye Mu said with a smile, “Only he can understand this.”

Not long after, Lin Zhizhao saw both peoples in the east had engaged in a fight. Because the distance from the other was far, the other side was still oblivious. In addition, Mo Linyuan gathered his forces before passing through, so not long after, relying on the dominant number of people, they were killed!

Not expecting there really was an ambush here, Zi Xu excitedly asked, “Your Majesty, is there any more ambush? Did Ye-xiaojie tell you?”

Mo Linyuan pointed to the other direction, said, “There. Their number is about the same as us, but we still have to be quick.”

“Understood!”

This time, it was more difficult, but after more than a half shichen, because they grasped the initiative, Mo Linyuan and the others didn’t lose many people and killed the ambushers.

Seeing that Ye Mu didn’t flash the light again, Mo Linyuan knew there was no more ambush. He ran to the direction of the waterfall at lightning speed. He was clearly excited!

The whole night yesterday, he had trouble sleeping. Because of Lin Zhizhao’s words before, and also the earlier ambush, he was very worried that Ye Mu had encountered an accident, and then just like what Lin Zhizhao said, would die!

The more he thought about it, the more he was scared. And right now, seeing that she still lived, he approached step by step, feeling very eager.

She was very powerful and never disappointed him, but why was he still very worried?! It felt as if she would disappear.
