Within Duan Liushao's tent, Feng Ning Yan was lying unconscious on the bed.
She knew nothing about the battle in the Southern Yong Pass.
Duan Liushao asked the servant girl to hold Feng Ning Yan up and put a brown coloured pill into her mouth before carefully drinking the sweet water.
The bitter taste of the medicine melted in Feng Ning Yan's mouth, and was immediately washed down her throat by a spoonful of warm sugar.
The medicine was so bitter that she could not help but frown and slowly open her eyes.
Her consciousness was still stuck on before she fainted, and she vaguely saw a young man sitting in front of her. Even though she didn't see him clearly, she already knew in her heart that it was Shen Ling Jue.
"Ling Jue …" she called hoarsely.
Duan Liushao's hand was suddenly tightly clenched by her hand. He could not help but be startled as his face immediately flushed red.
Only when he heard her calling his name did he know that she treated him as Shen Lingjue.
He awkwardly coughed lightly, "Young Master Feng, you … Wrong person. " Even though he said this, he did not withdraw his hand.
When Feng Ning Yan heard this strange voice, her hand loosened and she fell on top of the servant girl.
Only when he was far away could he clearly see the man in front of him.
Duan Liushao didn't look to be more than 20 years old, but his eye sockets gave him an alien feeling. He had an extremely delicate nose, red lips, white teeth, curved eyebrows, and the dimples on his cheeks made him smile slightly when he was silent.
It was just that her height was shorter than Shen Ling Jue by half a head, and besides her elegance, she was also a little childish.
Feng Ningyan did not recognize this person, but she recognized the glittering armor he wore, as well as the Coiling Dragon Moonshatter Saber that was placed on a nearby weapon rack!
"Duan Liushao!"
When she realized that she was facing the Crown Prince of the Southern Wilderness, the blood in Feng Ningyan's body instantly froze.
What was going on!?
Was this the Southern Wilderness' central military tent?
She had clearly fainted in the Southern Yong Pass, and Si Ma was by her side, so how could she let Duan Liushao capture her?
Sima Du and Liao Guangwen were loyal to the heart. If they couldn't even protect the Young Marshal, this could only mean one thing — the Southern Yong Pass was in danger!
Thinking of this, she struggled to get up, but the antidote that she had just consumed didn't have the slightest effect on her. Her arm didn't even have the slightest bit of strength, and with a flash, she fell down again.
When Duan Liushao saw Feng Ningyan and her previous actions of shooting arrows and commanding the troops in battle, he felt an indescribable pity for her in his heart.
"Young Master Feng, you have already taken the antidote just now. The military doctor said that as long as you take a good rest and eat more, it will only take three to four hours to recover your strength."
Everyone was in the enemy's tent and Feng Ning Yan didn't even have the strength to kill a chicken. If she didn't rest, what could she do?
Her mind was in a mess, and she hung her head in frustration.
At this moment, she had jet-black hair that was scattered all over her shoulders. It was unknown when the bun had been broken off.
She was even more shocked. "Where is my silver hairpin!?"
Duan Liushao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the moment she woke up, the one who would be nervous was actually the old silver hairpin.
It was neither beautiful nor valuable. Could it be something for a relationship?
When he had carried Feng Ning Yan back earlier, her hairpin had fallen to the side of the bed. The servant girl had helped her untie her hair, making it convenient for her to rest her head on the pillow. Duan Liushao had then picked up the silver hairpin.
With but a thought, he actually put it away in his sleeve.
At this moment, when Feng Ning Yan was looking for it, his face reddened. He then slowly took out the silver hairpin from his sleeve and handed it to her with both hands. "The silver hairpin is here."
His fingers tightly gripped the silver hairpin, his face filled with anxiety, like a child who had found a treasure and didn't want it returned to its owner.
When Feng Ning Yan saw the silver hairpin, she snatched it and held it tightly in her hand.
Holding the hairpin, she thought of Shen Ling Jue, and her flustered heart slowly calmed down.
She scanned the surroundings, her gaze finally landing on Duan Liushao's face.
This person's eyes were very clear. When he looked at her, he didn't seem hostile at all. How did he seem like the commander of the enemy forces? And the care she was receiving right now was definitely not the treatment of a captive.
Feng Ning Yan was even more puzzled, she had to figure out what had happened.
She coldly looked at Duan Liushao and asked in a vigilant tone, "Am I the captive of your Southern Wilderness Crown Prince?"
"No." Duan Liushao didn't hesitate in the slightest. In fact, he even started to panic a little, "Young Master Feng was struck by soft tendons and was scattered first. You and I haven't fought yet, so of course we can't be considered prisoners … I just happen to have the antidote for the Soft Muscle Powder, that's why I brought you to the camp to help you cure the poison …
"What?" Feng Ning Yan couldn't believe it, "You saved me?!"
Her heart felt as if it had fallen into an abyss. She breathed heavily on her chest, unable to recover for a long time.
Could it be that the one who went to the dungeon to save her was not Shen Ling Jue, but Duan Liushao?
Could it be that the fragrance she smelled was just an illusion created from her longing for Shen Lingjue while she was unconscious?
Duan Liushao saw that Feng Ning Yan's reaction was a little strange and for a moment, he couldn't figure out what she was thinking.
How would he know that Feng Ningyan was first rescued before she placed her body next to the sandbag?
When he rushed there, he saw Sima Du and Prince Cheng fighting with each other. Naturally, he misunderstood what Feng Ningyan meant.
"It's nothing, Young Marshal Feng doesn't need to take it to heart."
Seeing that Duan Liushao actually didn't deny it, Feng Ningyan couldn't help but feel a wave of dizziness.
"You saved me …" Could it be that he … "It's never been in the future huh …"
She could not help but mutter to herself. In her mind, she kept recalling that man with the veil who carried her out of the dungeon. No matter how she thought about it, she could not believe that the person who carried her was Duan Liushao and not Shen Ling Jue …
But up until now, she was still safe and sound after taking the antidote in the Southern Wilderness military camp. If it wasn't Duan Liushao who saved her, then who else could it be?
She had never thought that, as the Young Commander of the Southern Ning Army, she, as the guard of the border to defend the Southern Wilderness, would actually be saved by the Southern Crown Prince.
From then on, she owed Duan Liushao her life. How would she repay this debt?
She bit her lips tightly, forcefully suppressing her hostility. After a long silence, she forcefully said, "Duan Liushao, you saved my life. In the future, I will repay you with my life. I definitely won't regret it!"
Although her tone was very weak, it was filled with an irreconcilable determination.
Duan Liushao was silent for a moment. His gaze moved from her face and he slowly stood up.
"Let's talk about the future later. This prince has already ordered some people to prepare some food, Young Marshal Feng must eat something in order to recover his strength. "
Feng Ningyan laughed coldly, "There is no need to be so courteous to me. I, Feng Ningyan, will not eat a grain of rice or a mouthful of water from your Southern Wilderness Army!"
Duan Liushao's heart became colder as he stared at her. He couldn't help but become anxious, "Young Master Feng, we are enemies on the battlefield, it is us who have different sides, we can't do anything about it. For me to be able to save you today, isn't it predestined that I would become your friend? "
"Friends?" Feng Ningyan seemed as if she had heard a huge joke, "You, Duan Liushao, are worthy? You ignored the hardships of the commoners at the borders, initiated a war of your own accord, and even used despicable methods to collude with Prince Cheng, Shen Youhuang, and obtain information from our military's secret sentries. I, Feng Ningyan, will never be friends with a despicable person like you! Whoever offends me, Big Moon, will not be able to live under the same sky! "
