I Got Marked By My Shadow Guard After Pretending To Be An Alpha [MPREG]

2. "-Asshole thing."

For the next three days, Yu Yan didn't step out of the door for even half a step on the grounds of being ill.

Three days later, Yu Yan's heat ended and the convoy continued on their journey back.

In the afternoon, the convoy was refilling their supplies on the main road. Yu Yan sat inside the very last carriage, leaning against the window while looking out.

A young man in full black attire was sitting on the horse's back, his back facing Yu Yan as he looked in all four directions, scanning for threats. Back in the Yan Empire, Mu Yungui was just his shadow guard, staying in the shadows. In fact, Yu Yan never had the opportunity to see him in broad daylight.

Since he was going to another country as an ambassador, Yu Yan had Mu Yungui come forth as his personal guard for the sake of convenience and safety.

Mu Yungui's figure didn't look built. His shoulders were wide but thin, his waist was narrow, and when he rode a horse, he sat straight and upright.

Who would've thought that when his clothes were off, his body would look like that...

"Master?"

A familiar voice rang in his ears. Yu Yan was surprised. He hurriedly gathered his senses: "Huh?"

Mu Yungui was at the carriage's window. Without changing his expression, he said warmly, "Lord Meng just sent someone to say that there was quite a delay on the road. If the convoy wants to return to Great Yan before the new year, he's afraid we might have to rush all night."

"Rush all night?" Yu Yan frowned slightly.

The journey from Chang Lu to the Yan Empire was long. To arrive, it took them nearly a month. Now that they have deliberately sped up their journey, at their current pace, returning to Jiang Du City before the new year shouldn't be a problem.

Why was there a need to rush the whole night?

It wasn't necessary to rush. Not to mention the long journey, no one could predict what would happen on the road. There were plenty of dangers.

Yu Yan thought for a moment, and whispered, "If we go further from here, we will reach the border of Chang Lu, right?"

Along the border between Chang Lu and Great Yan were several rolling mountains. The roads there were rugged and mountain bandits, rampant. Traveling at night was extremely dangerous.

Besides...

In recent years, the Emperor of Yan's health has been deteriorating. The hidden fights from the past between several royal sons have gradually emerged to light. Even in the capital city of Great Yan, there were countless people who wanted Yu Yan's life every day. Even if he was protected by this group, it still wasn't safe.

Yu Yan shook his head. "Maybe I'm overthinking it. Naturally, if they are planning something, they should choose to do so before we get to Jiang Du, so that it could be framed on Chang Lu."

"And even if someone really wants to do something, I still have-"

Yu Yan's voice abruptly stopped. He pursed his lips.

Mu Yungui nodded, and naturally answered, "Indeed, Master doesn't have to worry. There's still me."

His eyes were soft, and when he looked at Yu Yan, he appeared calm and focused.

He stared at Yu Yan's flushed ear tips.

"I- I know!"

Yu Yan almost bit his tongue. He hurriedly lowered the curtain of the carriage window.
