Xiao Tianyuan's army had stationed themselves within the valley. Even though they hadn't been able to ascertain the enemy's strength, Xiao Tian Yuan still hadn't easily used his army.
The mountain wind blew. The weather of the end of September was as cold as a knife when it blew against a person's body.
Nan Yu Lan stood silently in the valley. The cool wind blew against her face, blowing her hair along her temples. Her red clothes fluttered in the wind, and her snow-white face was quietly gazing ahead. No one knew what she was thinking.
Xiao Tian Yuan slowly walked over and stood beside Nan Yu Lan. It was unknown whether it was the cold wind blowing past or what, but as he looked at Nan Yu Lan's jade-like face, he suddenly had the urge to stroke her. Even though there were so many soldiers here, as well as the enemies in front of him, he really wanted to stroke her face.
"Lan'er …" He wanted to touch her, but his hand stopped in her hair, just brushed her hair, not touching her face.
She smiled at him gently, her long eyelashes like a dream. Xiao Tianyuan only felt that the smile was very close, but it felt far away. Even though they were together now, he gave off a feeling that it was still unfathomable.
Just as he was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a soldier report, "The great general has arrived."
He looked into the distance and saw that Fang Zinan was indeed coming over with his army.
When they got closer, Xiao Tian Yuan walked up and asked, "Why is the great general here as well?"
"I know that the Grand Preceptor has many tricks up his sleeves. I was afraid that he might have some ulterior motives, so I came to take a look." As Fang Zinan spoke, he jumped down from his horse. These days, he had been fighting on the battlefield, so he looked a bit less depressed and a bit more heroic.
Xiao Tianyuan smiled. "Thank you for worrying about me."
"Why are friends so polite to each other?" There was a hint of a smile on Fang Zinan's face.
"Hey!" General Xiao, could it be that you only have Fang Zinan in your eyes? Suddenly, he saw the white clothes float in front of him. Dong Fang Luo Li blinked her eyes as she appeared in front of Xiao Tian Yuan.
Xiao Tianyuan was a little embarrassed as his face blushed slightly. "This lowly one didn't see what happened to Princess Liu Li. This is really something to be beaten up for!"
"You really should." Dong Fang Luo Li's gaze turned, turning to Nan Yu Lan, "You didn't see such a strong wind, you should've put some clothes on Miss Nan."
Hearing this, Xiao Tian Yuan started to feel uneasy. It wasn't that he hadn't thought of doing this, but he still felt that it was a bit abrupt.
Nan Yulan smiled happily as she helped him out: "Princess is too funny. It's not that cold, but I can still bear it."
"Come, let's go over there and have a look. We'll have them discuss the military intelligence." Dong Fang Luo Li walked over, and used her hand to hold onto Nan Yu Lan's arm. Nan Yu Lan glanced at Xiao Tian Yuan, and then quickly followed Dong Fang Luo Li to the side.
Fang Zinan stared at the Grand Preceptor's back for a while before asking, "Have you thought of a way to defeat the Grand Preceptor?"
Xiao Tianyuan shook his head. "I can't think of a good plan for now. What about you?"
The southern side of the recipe was so calm that no change in mentality could be seen on it. He stared at a pine tree in front of the cliff and said, "Camping."
"You mean we're going to camp tonight?" Xiao Tian Yuan slightly raised his brows. "If it's the same as last time, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage?"
Fang Zinan smiled slightly. "Of course it's different this time. Tonight, you're in charge of burning the Grand Preceptor's grain …"
Xiao Tianyuan's eyes lit up and his voice contained a hint of happiness. "What do you mean …"
"Yes, that's exactly what I meant." Fang Zinan's voice rose. "Right now, the Grand Preceptor's army has retreated to this place, so I'm afraid he's already sent out a signal for reinforcements. We'll first burn the enemy's grain, then sneak attack him at night and catch him off guard!"
Xiao Tian Yuan couldn't help but turn around to look at him. He felt that he had known Fang Zi Nan for nothing in the past, because Fang Zi Nan's military prowess had far exceeded his expectations. In the future, he would definitely become an outstanding general.
Xiao Tianyuan's eyes slowly revealed a smile. "Alright! We must catch them off guard tonight! "
Dong Fang Luo Li and Nan Yu Lan were talking about something. As the wind blew, two women, one in red and the other in white, were floating in the wind. They looked both elegant and charming.
Fang Zinan glanced over and suddenly smiled: "What are they talking about?"
Xiao Tianyuan shook his head with a smile. "I don't know either. Girls always have endless private conversations …"
"How do you know they're talking in private? Maybe they're talking about you?" He shifted his gaze to Xiao Tian Yuan. The smile on Fang Zi Nan's face was quite lively.
Actually, Fang Zinan's guess was right, the two girls were talking about Xiao Tianyuan. This was because Dong Fang Luo Li was asking Nan Yu Lan, "After the battle is over, you and Great General Xiao will be flying together. What a great thing this is!"
Nan Yulan looked at the mountains in the distance. It was already late autumn, and the mountains in the distance were already brown in color.
Seeing that Southcloud didn't reply, Dong Fang Luo Li smiled. "If we can wipe out the Grand Preceptor completely this time, I think you'll all be returning soon. I'm a bit reluctant to part with you."
"You don't want to leave me alone, do you?" Lan Ben didn't want to say this, but he couldn't help but say it.
Dong Fang Luo Li's cheeks turned slightly red, and she said in embarrassment: "Miss Nan, don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not spouting nonsense because I can see it clearly!" When Nan Yu Lan said this, she saw an awkward and sad expression on Dong Fang Luo Li's face, and her heart ached a little. She went up and patted Dong Fang Luo Li's shoulder, "Think carefully, many things are not the same way. You're still so young, you'll definitely meet a man you like.
"Miss Nan, don't forget that I'm Princess Liu Li!" The unhappy expression on Dong Fang Luo Li's face quickly disappeared: "Like you said, sometimes meeting someone might not be the right choice, why should I be bothered!" Saying that, she turned her head to glance at Fang Zinan. Right now, this couple has fallen in love, and it's impossible for me to do such a thing. Since it's impossible for me to obtain it, why not grant my wish and bless the other party! "
He really didn't expect Princess Liu Li to be such an open-minded person. Nan Yu Lan felt moved. In fact, when women saw each other's feelings, they would think the same. It could be said that, how many people could afford it? As a princess, Dong Fang Luo Li could be so free and unrestrained. This was really a form of courage. She could not do it, neither could Ying Ying. Even Shang Yiqing might not be able to completely let it go!
"Miss Nan, what are you thinking about?" Dong Fang Luo Li asked when she noticed that Nan Yu Lan was a little absent-minded.
Nan Yu Lan smiled and said: "I am thinking about our mission tonight."
Dong Fang Luo Li revealed a shocked expression: "How did you know we were going to take action tonight?"
"I guessed."
Dong Fang Luo Li was even more shocked: "You're saying you guessed it?"
Nan Yu Lan nodded with certainty. She had already thought this when Fang Zi Nan and Xiao Tian Yuan were discussing military matters together. Fang Zi Nan was also a smart person, he couldn't let this chance slip by.
