After a few days of fierce fighting, the army led by Fang Zinan had gradually arrived at Peace City. Seeing that it was already late, they set up camp and prepared to fight another tough battle with the Northern State of Yue the next day.

Fang Zinan finished dealing with the military affairs in the tent and said to the generals, "Everyone go back and rest first. We still have a tough battle to fight tomorrow." Everyone left, leaving only Xiao Tian Yuan in the tent.

"Brother Xiao, why aren't you going to rest?" Fang Zinan asked in confusion.

"I'm afraid that you will work too hard, so rest early. These days, we've been marching and fighting. I'm really afraid that you won't be able to handle it." Xiao Tianyuan was truly afraid that Fang Zinan would be unable to handle it.

Fang Zinan smiled, "I'm fine. I will study the military information tomorrow."

Xiao Tianyuan shook his head. "That won't do. You should get some rest as well. If you really get too tired, then I will be responsible for the army's lack of commanders."

"Go rest first." Xiao Tianyuan stubbornly said.

"I will naturally rest later." After Fang Zinan finished speaking, he lowered his head to study the military intelligence. After a while, he looked up and saw that Xiao Tianyuan was still standing there. He couldn't help but laugh, "Why haven't you left yet?"

"I'll wait until you're done." Xiao Tian Yuan seemed to know that Fang Zi Nan wouldn't listen to him, so he stayed behind to accompany him.

"Since that's the case, sit down and wait for me for a while. After I'm done, we can go out for a walk." Fang Zinan lowered his head.

It was late in the night and the military camp was quiet. The candles were emitting a faint yellow light. Xiao Tianyuan quietly sat there, silently accompanying Fang Zinan.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly heard a slight sound from outside the tent. It seemed to be the sound of something falling on the ground.

Xiao Tianyuan glanced outwards in alarm but did not move.

Fang Zinan was still focused on the map and didn't seem to notice anything.

As soon as the voice rang out, Xiao Tian Yuan immediately became alert. He was a martial artist with excellent hearing, so he was able to quickly identify that it was not the sound of objects falling to the ground.

Right at this moment, a bright white blade appeared behind Fang Zinan, which stabbed towards his back.

Xiao Tian Yuan was shocked. He jumped up and threw a palm towards Fang Zi Nan. That palm pushed him away while avoiding that sword.

After Fang Zinan was pushed away, he jumped up and asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"

The tent was split open by that person's sword. That person also jumped up. He was clad in red clothing and had a red veil covering his face. If he wasn't from Southern Wasteland, who else could he be? Beside her was another sentence, 'Assassin'.

Xiao Tian Yuan's pupils contracted. He never expected to see Nan Yu Lan here, and at the same time, he never expected her to kill Fang Zi Nan. He cried out: "Nan Yu Lan?"

Nan Yu Lan didn't expect Xiao Tian Yuan to be surprised by Fang Zi Nan's move, but the sword in his hand didn't relax at all as it chopped towards him.

Fang Zinan dodged to the side, picked up the sword on the table, pulled it out, and then decisively returned the sword.

Xiao Tian Yuan was startled. He should've went up to help Fang Zi Nan, but he hesitated and didn't move. It wasn't as if he didn't know what to do, and he also didn't want to make a move on Nan Yu Lan. Is she all right? Did she still hate herself that much?

Just as Xiao Tian Yuan was hesitating, Nan Yu Lan and Fang Zi Nan were already fighting. The two's sword skills were both sharp and agile, and they fought back and forth with amazing skills, but neither of them could hurt the other. As for the assassin, he began to fight with Xiao Tian Yuan.

At this moment, the soldiers outside the camp noticed that an uninvited guest had entered. They all rushed into the tent to assist Fang Zinan, wanting to capture him in one go. The camp was quickly surrounded by soldiers. Although the kung fu skills of the two were very strong, they were still outnumbered and quickly came to a disadvantage.

"Let me do it!" Upon seeing this, Xiao Tianyuan ignored the assassin and rushed over to entangle himself with South Yulan. Seeing that Xiao Tianyuan had personally captured the assassin, everyone retreated, leaving Xiao Tianyuan to fend off Nanyun Lan with all his might.

Fang Zinan looked at him calmly, stopped the sword in his hand, and didn't say a word.

After exchanging a few blows with Nan Yulan, Xiao Tianyuan suddenly lowered his voice and said to Nan Yulan: "Hurry and come with me."

As if she had already known that Xiao Tian Yuan would help her, Nan Yu Lan's eyes were calm. She waved her sword again, but was stopped by Xiao Tian Yuan with a wave of his hand and retreated out of the tent with her sword. Seeing this, the assassin took the opportunity to escape.

"I'll go chase them." Xiao Tianyuan volunteered as he got up to give chase to South Yulan.

The soldiers looked at each other in astonishment before shouting, "Catch the assassin quickly!" "Don't let the assassin escape …" Then she chased after him.

Xiao Tian Yuan rushed out and said to Nan Yu Lan: "Quickly follow me." He then led Nan Yulan left and right, quickly escaping from the barracks. He then led Nan Yulan to a col outside the camp, and seeing that no one was chasing them, he said, "Now there are no more pursuers, you can go."

Nan Yu Lan's face darkened, and coldly said: "Don't think that just because you saved me, I won't kill you!"

Xiao Tian Yuan sighed, "I've never thought about this question before, but... I don't want to see you in danger. "

"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?" Nan Yulan suddenly laughed.

Xiao Tian Yuan said sternly, "Even if I'm afraid, I have to save you. Did you know it was dangerous? With so many soldiers in the barracks, it will be hard for you to escape! "

Nan Yu Lan suddenly brandished her sword, "Since we can't kill Fang Zi Nan, we'll kill you the same way!" Take this! " As he spoke, he flicked his wrist and aimed a sword attack at Xiao Tian Yuan.

Xiao Tian Yuan's body swayed as he looked into the army camp. He said anxiously, "You want to take my life? That's alright, but the pursuers are coming soon. You should leave first."

"No, last time I didn't kill you, this time I must take your life!" Nan Yu Lan didn't listen to Xiao Tian Yuan's advice and attacked again and again, trying to kill Xiao Tian.

"Listen to me, what I owe you will be repaid sooner or later, but not now. After I've helped Prince Rong to finish this fight, you can take my life anytime you want!"

Nan Yu Lan didn't even pay attention to the sword thrusting over, but instead struck Xiao Tian Yuan's chest and cut across his left arm. He froze and his tone became sad: "Go!"

"You're really letting me go?" Xiao Tian Yuan said in a low voice. He looked at Nan Yu Lan with a complicated expression, wanting to say something but hesitating.

A sword light shone, and Nan Yu Lan raised the sword in his hand again. Suddenly, he heard the shouts of soldiers not too far away, and torches illuminated the sky above the camp. Where did that assassin go? " Someone said so.

"If General Xiao is with that person, will General Xiao be in danger?" Another person said, "We saw them walking in this direction earlier, so let's chase after them to protect General Xiao!" With a loud shout from a soldier, almost everyone started chasing in their direction.

Xiao Tianyuan glanced at him nervously and said to Nan Yu Lan: "Listen to me, I owe you my life. Sooner or later I will pay you back. Now that the soldiers have caught up, you can leave first."

Nan Yu Lan stood there stubbornly. He looked at Xiao Tian Yuan, then asked: "Why do you have to care about me?"

"I told you before, I like you." Xiao Tianyuan gave a carefree smile that was as if he was frozen by ice for thousands of miles. He was extremely handsome and good-looking.

Nan Yu Lan pursed her lips, turned around and left: "Okay, today I will let you go, next time I will not forgive you!"
