"Reporting to the great general, the Grand Preceptor has brought the army of the Beiyue Kingdom to invade again." The soldier ran back to the camp to report.

This Grand Preceptor, ever since he escaped last time, had brought back reinforcements from Beiyue Country and gathered all the reinforcements from the old tribes in the past in an attempt to counterattack. The army had already defeated his sneak attack twice and still hadn't given up.

Thinking of this, Fang Zinan called out, "Where is Xiao Tianyuan?"

"This lowly general is here."

"Immediately lead the fifty thousand strong army to meet them. We must completely annihilate the Grand Preceptor this time." Fang Zinan ordered.

Xiao Tianyuan impressively accepted the order, "This lowly general obeys." With that, he brought Nan Yulan out of the tent.

When the two of them arrived at the barracks, the sound of the gathering horn had already sounded out. It was a vigorous and resounding sound, carrying with it an exciting force that reverberated in the sky.

Xiao Tian looked towards the north. The sky in the north was clear and cloudless. He raised his eyes to look at Nan Yu Lan: "Let's go."

Nan Yulan nodded and got on her horse. The red dress was like a ball of fire in the middle of the battlefield, revealing a figure that made people's hearts palpitate.

As Xiao Tian Yuan looked at this body, his heart was both silent and moved. Princess Rao and Ying Ying had already left, but Nan Yu Lan was by his side. What sort of feeling was this? He had surpassed life, past death, and was now connected to life and death!

Before the battle had even begun, the troops had already lined up neatly. From afar, the enemy troops on the other side of the line were densely packed together. The flags were fluttering in the wind, and the colors were clear and strong.

The spearmen held their spears, the tip of their spears reflecting the sun's rays. In front of the infantry were rows of archers, and behind the infantry were valiant and valiant cavalrymen.

Following the start of the battle, Southern Wulan glanced at Xiao Tianyuan and saw him silently riding on his horse. Black wind blew in the air and his face was covered by the golden sunlight. The air seemed to grow heavy.

"Xiao Tianyuan, what do you hear?" Nan Yulan called out in a low voice, and couldn't help but look towards the source of the voice.

"Don't be afraid," Xiao Tianyuan patted the back of her hand and said, "It's the Grand Preceptor's cavalry."

Xiao Tianyuan looked down at the Grand Preceptor's army from above. His gaze was calm and collected, even a little contemptuous. He took the arrow from the side of the horse and held it in his hand. Then, he bent the bow, nocked the arrow, aimed at the target, and the arrow flew like a shooting star towards the enemy.

"Charge!" Following Xiao Tianyuan's command, the battle drum sounded out, resounding through the entire city. The army charged forward.

After the archers had released two rounds of arrows, the cavalrymen immediately rushed to the front of the formation, and the two armies officially clashed.

Although Xiao Tian Yuan was the main general of the army, he was willing to take the lead and lead the charge.

The sound of weapons clashing rang out and Xiao Tian Yuan quickly fought with the leader of the enemy forces. Xiao Tian Yuan was like a war god with his swords crossed as blood and flesh flew everywhere. Although Nan Yulan was a woman, her many years of killing made her extremely cold. In the face of such a bloody battlefield, she didn't display any particular fear or uneasiness, instead, she was calm and collected.

An hour later, the army led by Xiao Tianyuan had defeated the Grand Preceptor's attack, and he was once again defeated in the direction of Beiyue Kingdom.

Xiao Tianyuan calmly looked at the defeated enemy and said to Nan Yu Lan: "This time, the Great General has given the order for us to annihilate the enemy troops. We need to catch up to them now."

"Aren't you afraid of being trapped like last time?" Nan Yulan asked worriedly.

Xiao Tianyuan smiled lightly, "When we march, anything is possible. Let's move out quickly." As he spoke, he gave out orders. "Chase after the Grand Preceptor with all your might. You have to catch him in one fell swoop."

"Reporting to the general, the Grand Preceptor's gone into the forest." The soldiers came to report.

The mountain was narrow and difficult to defend and attack. The Grand Preceptor had occupied this place and had taken up all the land in this area. If he rashly attacked now, not only would he not be able to win, he might even lose troops.

"What do we do now?" Even if Nan Yu Lan didn't know how to fight and march, he still felt that this mountain was very dangerous. It would be of absolute benefit to the enemy, but it would be greatly disadvantageous to the Southern Marsh Country's army.

Xiao Tian Yuan raised his eyes to look at them. His gaze was as calm as a lake under the sunlight. "The army will temporarily be stationed at the foot of the mountain. We'll surround them first and not attack. We'll decide after we've discussed our next course of action."

Nan Yulan glanced at him, and at the foot of the mountain, a strong wind blew, causing her red clothes to burn like a ball of fire. At the foot of the mountain, Nan Yulan glanced at him, and at the foot of the mountain, a fierce wind blew, and her red clothes seemed to burn like a ball of fire.

Xiao Tianyuan decisively gave the order: "Men!"

"Here."

"Since you've already informed the general that the army has such an army surrounding the Grand Preceptor, both sides are in a temporary stalemate." Xiao Tianyuan knew that Fang Zinan was definitely waiting in the army camp for news. Although he didn't destroy the Grand Preceptor in one fell swoop, Hou had already reported on the situation.

The great army quickly halted at the foot of the mountain, entering a stalemate with the Grand Preceptor's army.

Xiao Tianyuan ordered some soldiers to scout the way forward. Other than that, the two armies were at peace for the time being.

Nan Yulan stepped down from her horse and looked into the valley. Suddenly, she smiled and said, "I wonder if Ying Ying and the others managed to safely return to the Southern Marsh Country?"

"I believe that with Dongfang Hao, they will definitely be able to return safely."

"Did you notice that Dongfang Hao and Ying Ying seem to be a little …" The smile on his face deepened.

Xiao Tianyuan shook his head. "You're wrong. It's not like that. It's obviously that."

"So you're supporting it?"

Xiao Tianyuan laughed bitterly, "In the past, Ying Ying liked Fang Zinan, but I was the one who destroyed them. Now that she has found the one she loves in her heart once again, I have no reason to oppose her."

Nan Yulan turned her face to the foot of the mountain. When the wind blew, she was humming a song from her nose. The song echoed in the valley in an unspeakable way. Although she was currently in a confrontation with the enemy and was in front of a battle between two armies, at this moment, he no longer had the heroic feeling of having a magnificent army of thousands upon thousands of men on the battlefield. Instead, she was like a man who had just fallen in love with another.

"Xiao Tianyuan, can I ask you something?" As he spoke slowly, her voice came from within the valley. It sounded like a profound dream that had yet to wake up.

Xiao Tianyuan was puzzled by her voice as well. "Tell me."

"What are you going to do after the war?" Nan Yulan asked casually.

Xiao Tianyuan replied without hesitation, "Class teacher returns to the imperial court."

"Have you thought about what we should do?" Nan Yulan asked again.

Xiao Tianyuan's expression was startled, but he was only slightly startled. "Of course we can return to the Southern Marsh Country together. I want to marry you." Xiao Tianyuan spoke very softly, but his words were loud and clear.

"Have you thought about it? I'm the criminal in charge of the imperial court, and I'm still in the national register. If I return to the Southern Marsh, I'll definitely implicate you."

Xiao Tianyuan turned around and silently stared at her for a long time before saying word by word: "I've already told you. I only know that you're from Southern Yu Lan. I don't care about anything else."
