Nie Shuangcheng was startled, then quickly reacted, this Sai Mi was actually a cripple.
"Also, check all the people in the camp today." Yulixiao slowed his steps and lowered his voice.
"Mrs. Yao and Sai Mi are also investigating?" Nie Shuangcheng asked.
"Check." Yulixiao nodded.
"Then... Where's the wangfei? " Nie Shuangcheng asked again.
"What's she got to find out?" Yulixiao turned his head to look at him, and his eyebrows slightly twisted.
"The prince just said that we will investigate everyone in the camp." Nie Shuangcheng rubbed the back of his head, a little confused at why he was so angry.
"You talk too much." Yulixiao swept a glance at him and took large strides forward.
Nie Shuangcheng rubbed his nose and walked in another direction. Yulixiao's direction was to find Yu Yan, if he followed him, it would only cause trouble.
In the medicine store, a small oil lamp was jumping on the table, a bean-sized light was floating in the large tent.
Chen Yao was standing at the door, quietly watching Yulixiao's figure leave. A gust of wind blew against her face. His expression was wooden, and there was not a trace of warmth in her eyes.
Sai Mi walked up to her and supported her arm, whispering: "Miss, rest."
Chen Yao opened Sai Mi's hand, and said coldly: "If you dare to act like this again, you can go back!"
Sai Mi pursed his lips, watched her stagger to the side of the table, and then said in a small voice, "I'll go boil some medicine for you."
"No need." Without even looking at him, Chen Yao sat down on the table and said softly, "Take care of yourself, don't let October smell the blood on your back."
Sai Mi's hand touched his back as he sat in front of her. After being silent for a while, he said: "Miss, follow me back to the Valley of the Divine Doctor. I think that his heart isn't with you."
"It doesn't matter whether the heart is there or not. As long as the person is there, the heart will change. The person will not change." Chen Yao looked at him coldly with a determined expression.
Sai Mi pursed his lips once again. A pair of dark and cold eyes stared at everyone. When he looked at Chen Yao, there were a few traces of gentleness.
"Don't look at me like that." Chen Yao frowned, and turned her face away.
Sai Mi also turned his head away. The two of them remained quiet for a while before Chen Yao spoke softly, "Sai Mi, death will forever be remembered by everyone. Hatred is the most ruthless method, understand? "In the future, don't do anything without permission. I can only go back tomorrow and push him right in front of her. It would be useless."
Sai Mi took a deep breath and nodded, "I will listen to the young miss."
"Sai Mi, did you notice the abnormality of her birthmark on her forehead? "Why don't you go back and get a book for me from my father." Chen Yao muttered to himself, his pale face was smeared with a hint of excited red, "I must have seen the birthmark on her forehead somewhere, it's become more and more gorgeous!"
"I'll immediately return after I send Miss back to the manor." Sai Mi nodded and looked at her worriedly, "But I'm going, who's to protect you?"
"Don't worry, I'm Madam Chen Yao. He still believes in me." Chen Yao smiled and nodded with certainty.
Looking at her smile, a sense of loss surfaced in Sai Mi's eyes. He stared at her for a good while before turning away, the corner of his mouth once again tightly pursing up, as if he wanted to suppress all those feelings in his stomach and prevent them from sneaking out to disturb Chen Yao's life.
Chen Yao had already come out from the back of the camp, and with the company of Ah Lang and October, she arrived at a small river half a mile away from the camp.
This river was called the Flute River, and it was formed by the meandering of spring water down the mountain. Further east, they gathered in the middle of the Great Jin River. The river was not very wide, and because it was a spring, it was exceptionally clear. If it was daytime, one could even see stones within the river, as well as leisurely swimming fish.
Yu Yan's body was too dirty, and she was only wearing a long gown, her embroidered shoes were also found in the big tent before she left, and it had already become very dirty.
The Ah Lang watched from a distance and followed her to the river in October. The river was crashing in the moonlight, its scales glittering. October leaned his head close to him, drank a few mouthfuls of water, and then lay down on the small stone. He used his claws to wipe her face gently. He was actually washing her face as well.
It was said that lions were ferocious, but the October in front of Yu Yan was like a tame cat, leisurely basking in the moonlight.
Yu Yan washed her face, suddenly, she had a naughty heart, holding onto a bottle of water, she sprinkled it onto October's face, causing the cold and clear water to splash out together with her laughter. Just when she was feeling happy, a voice sounded out: "Be careful!"
Right after she finished speaking, Yulixiao and October pounced towards her, October's claws rested on her arm, her eyes shone with a cold light. Yulixiao protected Yu Yan as she retreated a few steps, pointed at October, and scolded: "Retreat."
Only then did October slowly retreat a few steps and lie down on the ground.
Yu Yan was still shaken and asked in fear, "Has October gone mad?"
"It was you who looked for it to play first, but for its play, I'm afraid a single claw strike will send you to heaven." Yulixiao loosened his grip on her, his tensed brows loosened.
Yu Yan was disappointed, a lion was a lion, it was not a cat!
October was already in the water, stealthily and agilely heading for the other side of the river.
"Is he angry?" Yu Yan asked softly.
"He's seen his prey. If he's generous, we'll have roasted lamb legs to eat tomorrow."
Yulixiao walked to the side of the river, threw off his robes and stepped into the water to wash the blood off his body.
Yu Yan watched from behind and asked softly, "Why did you come back so promptly today?"
"What, didn't report it to you?"
He turned his face slightly, the moonlight was imprinted on his profile, no matter how you looked at it, it was mesmerizing.
Yu Yan pursed her lips and turned her face away. Although he trusted Chen Yao, she also only allowed her to come into contact with the matters of medicine. She trusted Mingyue, she also only allowed her to manage the key. For real military matters, he didn't like women asking questions.
After being bored for a while, Yu Yan then said depressingly: "You're the one who has a long tongue! "I'm just asking!"
Yulixiao got up from the river and picked up his clothes to put on his clothes, then said indifferently, "Then, how about we pull each other out and stab each other?"
"No." Yu Yan shook her head and laughed, then carried the clean embroidered shoes and walked forward.
Yulixiao followed behind her.
The gentle moonlight covered the small rocky beach by the river. The pebbles of various sizes caved in under his feet, and every step she took caused him a slight pain. Yu Yan carefully walked on top of the embroidered shoes in one hand and her skirt in the other. The water came up, soaked her feet, and then retreated. Slightly slippery, she shook it a few times, the hand that was grabbing the skirt loosened, grabbing to the side.
Yulixiao grabbed her hand, spread apart his fingers and locked them with hers as he walked slowly beside the river.
"Aren't you tired? Do you want to go back and rest? " Yu Yan turned and look at him.
"The camp will be very noisy tonight. Let's find a place to rest." Yulixiao shook his head. The king's tent was burnt, if he went back, he would take over the soldiers' place. It would be better to stay at the river bank for the night, and be able to quietly accompany Yu Yan.
"Yulixiao..." Yu Yan turned his head again, hesitating for a moment, before softly calling out to him.
"Yes." He nodded and raised his eyes.
"If... "I want to …" Yu Yan looked at his extremely deep eyes, lightly inhaled, and said in a low voice: "How do you plan to make arrangements for Mingyue and Chen Yao?"
"Hmm?" He didn't understand what she meant.
Yu Yan stopped and turned around to face him, then said word by word: "I once read a manual that a young man had never married before in his entire life for the sake of his beloved woman. He did not know that the woman had long fallen down a cliff and died, for the sake of collecting medicinal herbs for him."
Yulixiao frowned, he still did not understand what she meant.
"I want to wait for someone, to love someone, to be with someone." Yu Yan took another deep breath and said seriously.
The wind stirred the river, and the scales grew brighter.
"Your heart is quite big." He smiled and cupped her face in his hands.
Yu Yan's eyes dimmed. She pushed away his hand and quickly walked forward.
"You've been stabbing me all day, and yet you're still looking for me to ask for such a favor?" he said slowly, following her.
"When did I stab you?"
Yu Yan was already sincere in her heart, saying that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him, yet he actually said that she had a big heart … She was furious, and she hated herself for being so idle as to tell such a thing to someone like him. A person like him would probably wish to sweep the world of beauties to his heart's content!
"Alright, look at your hedgehog appearance."
Yulixiao was neither fast nor slow, he gently caressed her hair.
"Here, why not? Give me a good word. " Yu Yan stomped her foot and frowned.
Yulixiao began to laugh lowly, and said in a deep voice: "You've also tasted this taste?"
"What does it feel like?" Yu Yan asked angrily.
Yulixiao extended a long finger over, pointed at her chest and said, "This place is in a panic."
Yu Yan immediately understood. This person had asked her three times whether or not she wanted his heart, and she had never given him the answer in three times! She blushed and turned away. His hearty laughter, together with the sound of the wind, the moonlight, the sound of water, and the chirping of insects made her heart beat even faster …
