Fang Zinan moved his body to the side to avoid this strike. He secretly praised it in his heart, and then swung out his sword. His sword art had always seemed ordinary, but it contained a great amount of strength behind it. The Grand Preceptor didn't even know about his sword skills and didn't put him in his eyes at all. The sword and blade clashed, and both retreated a few steps! Fang Zinan's heart skipped a beat, while the Grand Preceptor was quite surprised. With another move, the Grand Preceptor retreated a few steps. After three moves, the Grand Preceptor's face completely changed. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't control it, because Fang Zinan's swordplay couldn't be underestimated in the first place.
"Die!" With a loud shout, Fang Zinan swung his sword even faster towards the Grand Preceptor's head.
The Grand Preceptor had only held one sword, but he hadn't expected that Fang Zinan's sword would change forms halfway through. It was originally meant to be sent out slowly, but then it suddenly changed, becoming faster and faster as he prepared to chop off the Grand Preceptor's head. The Grand Preceptor was also someone with experience, so he hid himself very quickly. Even so, a piece of his left ear was still cut off and blood flowed out.
Fang Zinan had succeeded in one move, but didn't give up. He attacked again, one move faster than the other, the sword moved faster than the other, forcing the Grand Preceptor to spin around. Caught off guard, he was struck again in the midst of his panic.
"Let me go!" The Grand Preceptor cried out unwillingly.
Fang Zinan laughed coldly, "Take the Grand Preceptor down. Everyone else, come with me to rescue General Xiao."
When the Grand Preceptor's men saw that the Grand Preceptor had captured Fang Zinan alive, they knew that the tide was up and quickly surrendered. Fang Zinan had someone pour water over the jungle, trying to control the fire. However, the wind was so cold that it was useless. Fang Zinan frowned and shouted into the forest: "Xiao Tian Yuan, did you hear my voice? If you're still alive, then just say yes."
Just as he finished speaking, two people flew down from the sky above the forest. One was white and the other was red, both were dazzling. If they weren't Xiao Tian Yuan and Nan Yu Lan, who else could they be? Fang Zinan happily shouted, "Xiao Tianyuan..." He hastily went to greet Xiao Tianyuan. A trace of a smile appeared on Xiao Tianyuan's stern and patient face as he landed in front of Fang Zinan. As soon as he landed, South Yulan supported him because she knew how serious Xiao Tian Yuan's injuries were.
Fang Zinan also clearly saw the red blood on Xiao Tianyuan's chest and he shouted, "Military doctors …."
"No need, let me take a look." Dong Fang Luo Li walked up. In terms of medical skills, even the military doctors in the camp were not as skilled as her.
Xiao Tianyuan spoke indifferently, "Don't worry about me. It's a pity that I was ambushed this time around. The army I brought along …" A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
"Don't say that. It's not your fault!" Fang Zinan advised, then smiled in relief. "Fortunately, I've already captured the Grand Preceptor. We can return him to report to King Dongyu, and we'll be able to return to the Southern Marsh Kingdom very soon."
When Nan Yu Lan heard this, she turned to look at Xiao Tian Yuan, only to meet his twinkling gaze without saying a word.
"I have some good medicine for treating external injuries. It will only take three days to heal the wounds on your body!" Dong Fang Luo Li passed the medicine bottle to Nan Yu Lan and winked at her: "It's better if you personally pull out the arrow on General Xiao's arm."
He took the bottle and looked at Xiao Tian Yuan again. It seemed like he had a lot on his mind …
At this time, Fang Zinan pointed to the army and gathered the surrendered enemy troops. Eastern Luo Li also followed along, leaving only Southern Yu Lan and Xiao Tian Yuan behind.
"I'll pull the arrow for you." Nan Yu Lan quietly said, and then used both hands to hold the arrow.
Xiao Tianyuan looked at her. At this moment, he suddenly had a very "gentle and quiet" feeling. This feeling was brought to him by the Southern Wasteland. He only frowned slightly as he pulled out the arrow.
"Does it hurt?" Nan Yulan asked faintly.
Xiao Tianyuan shook his head. "It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt at all."
"But it hurts." Nan Yu Lan put down the arrow and placed the medicine on the wound, gently.
As long as the two of them were together, nothing mattered anymore. Moreover, they had fought together many times, and they had lived and died together. This was a feeling that most people would not be able to experience.
After bandaging his wounds, Nan Yu Lan saw that Fang Zi Nan had gathered his army and retreated to the city. Only then did he sigh lightly and ask, "Will the Grand Preceptor be returning to the imperial court after being captured?"
Xiao Tianyuan nodded.
Nan Yu and Lan Li stood up, her beautiful face as white as snow in the wind. After a moment of silence, she asked, "What should we do?"
"Come back with me!" Xiao Tianyuan replied seriously: "I want to marry you as my wife."
Nan Yu Lan laughed, his tone full of ridicule: "Did I hear it right? You want to marry a fugitive? "I'm afraid that the moment I step into the Southern Marsh Country, I will be arrested for the crime of assassinating someone and beheaded …"
"I won't …" Xiao Tianyuan hastily interrupted her: "Don't worry, this will never happen."
Nan Yu Lan smiled and shook his head, his gaze turning gloomy: "You don't need to comfort me, what I do the emperor won't comfort me."
"That's only your idea!" Xiao Tian Yuan ignored the pain in his arm and clenched Nan Yu Lan's thin white hand, "We won the battle this time and the Emperor will definitely forgive you. Even if you made those mistakes before, the Emperor won't make things difficult for you on account of you killing the enemy right before the battle."
Nan Yu Lan still shook his head: "Even if the emperor doesn't want to pursue this matter, there are still many people who are staring at him. I betrayed King Xuan, he will never forgive me. "
"You don't have to worry about that …" Xiao Tianyuan spoke with certainty: "Just this morning, I saw Qi King Dongfang Hao. He brought a letter over to Prince Rong saying that King Xuan was planning to rebel. Our class is returning to the imperial court this time because we want to use our army to restrain King Xuan."
Nan Yu Lan's eyebrows twitched, and he turned around in disbelief: "Are you serious?"
"Of course it's true!" Xiao Tianyuan smiled. "If it wasn't for the Grand Preceptor's attack today, our army might have already departed."
"But …" Nan Yu Lan lowered his head: "My current identity is very awkward, moreover... I also don't want to implicate you! "
Xiao Tianyuan was serious, "What did you say? "My life was saved by you. It's like we're tied to the same rope, it's impossible for us to separate …" After saying that, he lowered his head, cupped his hands around her face, looked into her eyes, and said word by word: "Lan, you know we will never separate again. No matter what, I will bring you back to the Southern Marsh, and I will marry you."
"Xiao Tianyuan, you're really stupid!" Nan Yulan spat at him and bowed his head.
"Whatever you say is fine. In any case, I can't let you leave me …" As he said this, Xiao Tianyuan's expression changed. "Actually, there are many dangers lurking around when we return to the imperial court. You and I are bound to face these dangers again. Are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid, you don't even care, what's there to be afraid of?" Nan Yu Lan also spoke seriously, secretly making up his mind.
"Hey …" Dong Fang Luo Li shouted from afar: "Is General Xiao's injury healed? We're going back to the Eastern Feather Prefecture. "
Nan Yu Lan laughed and replied: "Alright, we can set off now."
