"Young lady, why?"
Su Zhen looked at the stunningly beautiful woman in front of him with a puzzled expression.
He had been unconscious here for a day and a night. He was unfamiliar with the terrain. If this woman didn't save him, he would surely die in the desert, now that he was injured and hungry.
There's no reason why.
Lan Xing turned and walked away, forcing herself not to look at the injured man any longer, afraid that she would soften her heart.
As the woman walked further and further away, Su Zhen's heart sank. He tried calling out to her a few times, but she didn't respond.
"It seems that Heaven truly intends to destroy me, Su Zhen!"
Su Zhen sighed in despair, stopped asking for help, lay there looking at the empty sky, and began to resign himself to his fate.
But a moment later, he heard the woman's annoyed voice again.
"You're lucky, come with me!"
After taking a few steps, Lan Xing was finally overcome by kindness and couldn't bear to see someone with hope die in the desert because of his indifference.
Su Zhen looked grateful and immediately tried to stand up and follow her, but as soon as he regained his footing, he fell down again.
He was extremely hungry and injured.
"Eat this."
Seeing this, Lan Xing took out a pill from her person and handed it to Su Zhen. This was a pill that she had made herself to provide energy.
Without hesitation, Su Zhen took the pill and swallowed it.
Then, as it was getting dark, the two left the desert and arrived at a small town.
“Young lady, my name is Su Zhen. What is your name? Where do you live? Thank you so much for saving me this time. When I get home, I will definitely have someone send a gift to your home to express my gratitude.”
Since taking the pills given to him by Lanxing, Su Zhen felt that his injuries were miraculously healing. Now that he had eaten something, his health was even better.
Now that he has survived, he naturally wants to ask the woman's name and family so that he can express his gratitude later.
“My name is Jiang Ruan. I have no home. You don’t need to thank me.”
Lan Xing said calmly.
"Miss, I'm sorry."
Upon hearing that the other person was an orphan and seeing her somewhat disappointed expression, Su Zhen immediately realized he had said something wrong and awkwardly apologized.
"It's alright, let's say goodbye here."
Lan Xing said calmly.
"Oh, young lady..."
Su Zhen wanted to say something more, but Lan Xing turned and left after saying those words, disappearing into the street in the blink of an eye.
Su Zhen looked at the woman's retreating figure with a sense of loss, feeling as if he owed her something.
After resting in the town for a few days, Su Zhen contacted his subordinates and prepared to return to the military camp to continue planning the next phase of the counter-offensive.
Lan Xing was also wandering aimlessly. To be honest, she really didn't know where she could go without Gao Changhong.
Thinking of the things her master had given her, she touched her belly and prayed that it would be a girl.
She had already tried with her own blood, but the bronze ring didn't want her. Now she could only pin her hopes on the child in her womb.
After staying in the town for a few more days, Lanxing found that he didn't have enough money and encountered some people trying to find out about him.
She didn't know if the other party was Xinglan's person, Gao Changhong's person, or Mo Hanyu's person; in any case, it was not safe.
To avoid being searched by these people, and coincidentally encountering soldiers from Daliang coming to the town looking for a doctor to serve as a temporary military medic, Lanxing signed up.
She never expected that she would meet Su Zhen after arriving at the Daliang military camp.
"Young lady, what brings you here?"
Su looked at Lan Xing standing in front of him with a mixture of shock and delight.
"What are you doing here? Who are you...?"
Lan Xing looked at him with suspicion, noticing the clothes he was wearing. She already had a general idea in mind, but she needed to confirm it.
“Miss Jiang, I am actually a general of the Great Liang. Please forgive me for not telling you my true identity last time.”
Su Zhen awkwardly scratched his head and apologized.
The soldiers standing nearby couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances when they saw their general looking so shy.
"General, this young lady is here to work as a military doctor."
At this point, a soldier nearby spoke up to explain, easing the awkward situation.
"A military doctor? Young lady, you're a doctor?"
Su Zhen's tone betrayed his excitement.
Looking at Su Zhen's honest and simple appearance, Lan Xing couldn't help but want to laugh.
This person seemed to have no guard against her at all, unlike when she saved Gao Changhong, when she was always on guard.
She applied for a military doctor position; weren't they worried that she might be a spy?
When Su Zhen learned that she wanted to apply for a military doctor position, he didn't ask any questions and immediately agreed. He even arranged for her to have the best accommodation in the military camp.
On the other side.
Gao Changhong also received news of Lan Xing's disappearance. Taking advantage of the few days of the war's pause, he immediately rushed back to the Northern Desert Imperial City.
"Impossible! Ruan Ruan would never elope with someone else!"
Gao Mansion.
When Gao Changhong heard Mo Hanyu tell him that Lan Xing had eloped with another man while he was away, he simply didn't believe it.
“My lord, why would I lie to you? Look at her, she'd rather abandon her son than leave you. She must have fallen for another man.”
"You're lying! Mother didn't abandon me. It's all because you bullied her that she ran away. Waaah... Mother will come back for me!"
Three-year-old Gao Yuanbin, standing to the side, has grown up a bit and is slowly beginning to understand some things.
