Outside Danxia City, in the Fengyuan Army’s main camp, Yan Xuanye had just woken up from a nightmare. Fine beads of sweat on his forehead wet his hair. He sat dejectedly at the head of the bed, recalling the scenes in his dream.
The blazing fire engulfed the entire house. Lu Huan staggered out holding a tablet that was mostly burned. It seemed as if a heavy burning object had hit his back. There was no clothing on that part, and even his skin was burned, which was a shocking sight.
But Lu Huan seemed not to notice, and just stared blankly at the tablet in his arms. There was remorse in his eyes, as if he was greatly shocked and could not accept such a result.
…
The scene changed, and it showed Lu Huan holding Su Qian's body and sobbing in despair. The usually cold and arrogant Lu Huan had bloodshot eyes at that moment, and he looked tired, sad and bitter.
There was a sharp dagger stuck in Su Qian's neck. Lu Huan held her hand and tried his best to suppress his trembling.
…
Yan Xuanye hid silently in the darkness, his eyes cold, filled with madness and cruelty, as if he was in a dark abyss.
He didn't know why he dreamed of such a scene, and these two scenes had some similarities with the rumor that there was a fire in Lu Huan's mansion a few days ago.
He continued like this until dawn, and finally felt a little tired. He slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were clear again.
"Your Highness, the mage is waiting outside the tent."
Yan Xuanye stood up and put on his outer robe. He said in a steady voice, "Let him in."
The mage, dressed in a Taoist robe and a jade crown, said respectfully, "Your Highness."
Yan Xuanye sat upright on the throne, his eyes narrow and long, and just a glance could make people feel his powerful aura.
He asked, "How is it?"
"The person your highness is looking for has returned."
Yan Xuanye leaned forward, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Where is she?"
The mage made a hand gesture and began to carefully divine. "This person's movements are unpredictable. We cannot know his exact location for the time being."
Yan Xuanye was a little dissatisfied, "Why is this?"
"This person is still moving and has not completely stopped. Only after he completely stops can we confirm his whereabouts."
"So where is she roughly? What direction?"
Mage: "This person is currently located in the northwest, within the territory of Zhao State."
Yan Xuanye's heart sank, as it was related to Lu Huan again.
It seemed that no matter how Lu Huan hurt her, she could forget the past, put it behind her, and run thousands of miles to Lu Huan to find him.
It was like this last time, and it is like this this time as well.
"Alright, I understand. You can leave now."
"Wait until she has completely come to a complete stop before reporting back."
"yes."
…
After about six or seven days of trekking, Su Qian settled down in a farm outside Danxia City. This place was far away from the battlefield, but also within the scope of Danxia City.
Last time, she made a deal with Lu Huan, and the two reached an agreement. Then Lu Huan sent her to live in a farm outside the city, and he brought his people back to Danxia City.
The war is still going on, but the two sides are evenly matched and neither side has the upper hand.
She stayed in this farm for a few days, and during these days, she had been thinking about how to persuade Yan Xuanye to stop the war.
The current situation is really a dilemma for her.
After all, she had betrayed Yan Xuanye before. Logically, he would be very angry now, and perhaps even hate her. It is not impossible that he even wants to capture her and torture her severely.
Therefore, she must come up with a foolproof plan before she can go to see Yan Xuanye.
Fortunately, this farm has all the necessary daily necessities, otherwise, as a modern person, she doesn’t know how she can survive here.
Su Qian made herself a bowl of vegetable porridge, sat down at the table, and thought slowly.
Listening to the rustling sound of the wind through the bamboo forest outside, she always felt a little uneasy.
There was a point in her deal with Lu Huan at the time, which required Lu Huan not to interfere with any of her decisions and actions, nor to send anyone to monitor her.
This place is sparsely populated, with almost no one around except herself. However, recently she always hears the sound of wind in the bamboo forest outside, which makes her feel a little strange.
Although the weather was cold and windy, and the sound of wind was extremely normal, it had never been so frequent in the first few days after she moved in.
Especially at night, when she was half asleep, she seemed to hear some faint sounds of footsteps outside the house. However, because she occasionally dreamed at night and could not hear clearly when she was asleep, there was no substantial evidence.
So, she had no choice but to be more careful.
The sun slowly sets in the west. Even though the New Year has passed and it is spring, the weather is still very cold and it is unbearable.
The daylight hours were short, and it got dark early. At night, Su Qian also took a bath early, blew out the candle, lay down on the couch, and wrapped himself tightly in the thick quilt.
For a few minutes after lying down, she deliberately stayed awake, wanting to see if there was anyone secretly spying on her life.
But after holding on for a long time, there was still complete silence outside, so deep that it was a little scary.
When the moon was at its highest point in the sky, Su Qian finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep.
Not long after she fell into a deep sleep, the tightly closed door was pried open by someone with a sword. The man walked into the inner room under the bright moonlight, feeling cool. His face looked calm, but undercurrents were surging in his eyes.
