Chapter 212
Shen Nanxing stood in front of the tent in a daze.
Hu Lin walked out and stood beside her, following her gaze in the direction the guard had just left.
"He...isn't an ordinary guard?"
A smile appeared on Shen Nanxing's lips: "Did you figure it out?"
Hu Lin pondered and said, "Ordinary guards wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous in front of the general."
"It's okay. He's a very skilled martial artist, so it's normal for him to be a little arrogant."
Upon hearing this, Hu Lin couldn't help but glance sideways at the woman beside him.
Her eyes and eyebrows were lively. When she talked about the guard named Tiedan, her black and white eyes sparkled and her eyes and eyebrows were full of joy.
Under the bright moonlight, she looks like a fairy who has come down to earth, detached from the mundane world.
He wanted to say, if one had high martial arts skills, he could exercise special privileges in front of her, then why were the four sedan bearers given to her by the Ninth Prince so honest and obedient?
Those four sedan bearers are real masters.
Looking at the smile on her face, it was clear that she felt differently towards the Iron Guard.
Thinking of this, his breathing couldn't help but tighten. Some words that had lingered in his throat countless times, but he dared not say out loud, somehow spilled out of his mouth.
He lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I heard that General Shen is choosing a fiancé?"
Shen Nanxing was stunned, her red lips slightly opened, and she was about to deny it when she heard Hu Lin's next sentence.
"I wonder if I have the honor to do so?"
Shen Nanxing was extremely surprised: "Hu Lin, you..."
The tall and gentle man raised his eyes and glanced at her quickly, then immediately looked away.
He continued, "Although my family is not as prominent as the royal palace, it is simple, with only my parents and a younger sister, and we all get along well."
"I am definitely not a playboy. I have never had a concubine or a maid, and I never will. If General Shen is willing to marry me, you will be my only wife in the future."
"I will respect and love you, and will never let General Shen suffer any injustice."
"General Shen, are you willing to give me another chance?"
The man blurted out all the words that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time in one go, and he felt that his heartbeat had never been so fast.
His cheeks and ears were heating up uncontrollably, and even his hands hanging by his sides were trembling slightly. He clenched his fists tightly to control it so that it wouldn't be so obvious.
Even his breathing was gentle, and he only dared to glance at the bright woman out of the corner of his eye, his ears perked up, waiting for her answer.
Shen Nanxing's eyes widened in surprise when he suddenly heard these words.
She hurriedly explained: "Hu, Hu Lin, I didn't..."
"General Shen!"
Hu Lin suddenly raised his head, a flash of panic in his eyes: "You can think about it first, there is no need to rush to answer me."
"I can wait..."
"It's getting late, General Shen, please go to bed early."
After saying this, he started walking, his steps were untidy, and he seemed to be running away.
"Master Hu!"
He had just taken a few steps when a clear voice called him from behind.
He was frozen in place as if under a spell.
Shen Nanxing walked quickly to him, and looked into his eyes with a pair of dark eyes: "Mr. Hu, to be honest, I already have someone in my heart."
"Mr. Hu has excellent conditions. Many noble ladies in the capital are eager to marry you, and there are many good girls among them. You..."
"What about General Shen? Why doesn't she want to marry me?"
The usually gentle and emotionally stable man's eyes actually became slightly moist.
"I......"
Shen Nanxing was stunned for a moment, and only said softly: "I'm sorry..."
Hu Lin felt a pain in his heart when he saw that the smile in her eyes had disappeared and she looked embarrassed.
He chuckled as usual, "General Shen, don't be embarrassed. I just think that General Shen is smart and generous, and suitable to be the mistress of my Hu family. If General Shen doesn't want to, that's fine."
"With my looks and family background, I will definitely meet the right woman in the future..."
Shen Nanxing heaved a sigh of relief and patted Hu Lin on the shoulder: "Of course! I know a few gentle and generous women who are suitable to be the mistress of the house. I will introduce them to you when I return to the capital!"
Hu Lin bowed and said, "Then I would like to thank General Shen."
Shen Nanxing waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's a small matter, leave it to this general!"
Hu Lin smiled and casually asked, "General Shen just said he has someone in his heart, but what about the Iron Guard who just left in a huff?"
Thinking of a jealous person, Shen Nanxing suddenly laughed: "Yeah, it's hard to coax him."
