After expressing his longing for Yuan Xuan, Yuan Nan'an asked him why he had come all the way to the southwest.
"Nanyue suddenly sent a document to the capital, saying they wanted to establish friendly relations between the two countries and hoped to negotiate a marriage with Dacheng..."
Hearing the word "marriage discussion", Yuan Nan'an narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the person in front of him and asked,
"Who is discussing marriage with whom?"
Yuan Xuan remained calm and replied, "The Saintess who succeeded a few days ago."
Yuan Nan'an sat up straight and asked, "Who are you discussing marriage with?"
"I don't know, it has nothing to do with me anyway." Yuan Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yes..." When Yuan Nan'an was about to say something, someone outside the tent spoke.
"General, are you awake? There's movement in the border town."
Hearing this, Yuan Nan'an rolled over and got out of bed, saying loudly,
"Wait for me, I'll be right there!"
Seeing this, Yuan Xuan swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, handed her the armor, and said,
"That saint girl is a bit weird. You have just recovered from a serious illness, so be careful in everything you do."
Yuan Nan'an raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Don't worry, I definitely won't let her snatch you away!"
Having said that, he did not forget to lift the chin of the person in front of him.
Yuan Xuan looked serious, but his ears were slightly red.
…
The battle in the southwest was not easy. Nanyue suddenly sent troops, and Yuan Nannan led his troops to meet the enemy and blocked the attack.
But the other party is good at using evil magic, and their military deployment is really strange.
For unknown reasons, the soldiers in the army fell ill with strange diseases one after another, suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, and their morale was greatly reduced.
Yuan Xuan was not idle here either. He was busy transporting medicinal materials and food so that Yuan Nan'an could fight on the front line with peace of mind.
Today, trade in Dacheng is prosperous. After Yuan Cheng came to power, the official roads were renovated, making transportation much more convenient.
Yuan Qiyu brought several hundred stones of food and medicinal herbs to the military camp. After the herbs arrived, the first thing he did was to rush to the main camp.
"Second sister! Second sister!"
"I've delivered the herbs. Where are you?"
…
The voice arrives before the person arrives.
But when he ran into the tent, he didn't find his second sister. Instead, he saw the person who should have been in the capital sitting in the main seat.
He paused, and Yuan Zhizhi, who was following behind him, lifted the curtain and was also surprised to see Yuan Xuan.
"Brother Xuan? Why are you here?"
Before Yuan Xuan could speak, Yuan Qiyu laughed,
"Isn't it normal for him to be like this?"
Yuan Zhizhi was confused and asked, "Third brother, what do you mean?"
Yuan Xuan gave Yuan Qiyu a look, and Yuan Qiyu immediately shut up and pulled Yuan Zhizhi inside.
"Zhizhi, didn't you say that the Saint Girl was weird? Tell Brother Xuan about it quickly. If Brother Xuan knows, then Second Sister will know too."
When it came to business, Yuan Zhizhi no longer cared about anything else and told Yuan Xuan about what she had discovered recently.
…
"You mean... that Saintess of South Vietnam is the same Wei Jiaojiao from the past?"
When Yuan Qiyu heard this, his face was full of shock.
Yuan Zhizhi nodded. "Somehow, she was brought back to South Vietnam by Saint Ye Huan, changed her appearance, and lay dormant for so many years."
"Ye Huan died suddenly a few days ago, and she immediately succeeded him as the new Saint. I heard that her status in South Vietnam is even higher than Ye Huan's."
"If my third brother and I hadn't been doing business in the southwest recently and hadn't discovered some traces, we wouldn't have suspected her."
"There's something very strange about her. Nanyue is close to Yingtian Gate. I'm afraid she's received guidance from experts outside Yingtian Gate over the years..."
Yuan Xuan listened to Yuan Zhizhi's words and thought for a long time before he remembered who Wei Jiaojiao was.
Hearing that this Saint Lady was also related to Yingtian Sect, he could not help but frown.
"That……"
Just when he was about to say something, an urgent report came from outside.
"Your Highness! This is bad! There's been a major defeat on the front line! The young general has been seriously injured and is now unconscious!"
…
Yuan Zhizhi always felt that Yuan Xuan had the best temper among her brothers.
The eldest brother is cold and aloof, while the third brother is lively and outgoing.
Only this cousin, the prince, is always gentle and smiling, giving people the illusion that he is very easy to get along with.
But she had never seen Yuan Xuan so angry.
Almost murderous.
When he stepped into the military tent and saw Yuan Nan'an who was seriously injured and unconscious, he suddenly stopped.
Then he rushed to the bed.
At that moment, all the gentle disguises were peeled off, replaced by an extreme coldness and murderousness.
His eyes were bloodshot, his brows were filled with a bone-chilling coldness, and his whole body exuded a fierce aura.
The team doctor trembled as he told him about Yuan Nan'an's condition.
"Your Highness, the young general has been poisoned. If we don't get an antidote within five days, I'm afraid..."
The team doctor was obviously at a loss, but fortunately Yuan Zhizhi stepped forward and tugged at Yuan Xuan's sleeve.
"Brother Xuan, let them all go out."
Yuan Xuan almost didn't dare to look at the person lying on the bed. He could only look at Yuan Zhizhi with an almost pleading look.
Yuan Zhizhi nodded, indicating that she understood.
When everyone left the tent, she heard a suppressed roar from outside.
“Who did it?!”
The deep voice was like rolling thunder, exploding in an instant.
No one dared to answer. The deputy generals all lowered their heads, cold sweat dripping from their foreheads.
"!! If anything happens to the young general——"
"All of them will be buried with me!!!"
He almost gritted his teeth to utter the last two words.
Every syllable was saturated with a bone-chilling murderous aura, which frightened the soldiers patrolling outside the military tent.
For the first time, he no longer concealed his edge, and the prince's majesty was fully displayed.
The air was frozen, and even Yuan Qiyu's breathing became lighter unconsciously, for fear of becoming an outlet for his anger.
When Yuan Zhizhi came out of the tent, she saw Yuan Xuan still standing outside with a stern look on his face, whispering instructions to his deputy generals about the follow-up arrangements.
