Xiao Yang stopped wielding his sword when he saw Song Yan'er come out.
"Madam, you're awake? How are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you?" Xiao Yang knew he had gone a bit too far last night. When he was dressing Song Yan'er, he was terrified to see the bruises all over her body. He warned himself that he must be gentler in the future!
Song Yan'er was unaware of these things, but said meaningfully, "Xiao Yang, you must have been reading erotic novels behind my back!"
He then nodded emphatically, "Yes, that must be it!"
Xiao Yang...
I must be overthinking it!
"So, does that mean my skills have improved?"
After saying that, she winked at Song Yan'er, looking extremely innocent!
Holy crap! This is utterly shameless!
She looked at him irritably and said:
"Xiao Yang, your face is a precious thing, you should cherish it!"
After saying that, he went next door to eat breakfast by himself.
Xiao Yang watched Song Yan'er's retreating figure and smiled silently. He never imagined he could become like this. This is good!
Xiao Yang used to exude a cold and aloof aura, devoid of any human warmth! Although he appeared glamorous, he actually lived a very repressed life every day, trapped in his own little world!
But ever since arriving in Peach Blossom Village and meeting Song Yan'er, Xiao Yang felt as if he had come back to life! He finally had some of the vitality that someone his age should have! It was like he had found his own light!
Xiao Yang is very satisfied with his current life and especially loves the family atmosphere of Song Yan'er's family! He feels that as long as the family is of one mind, all the difficulties in this world can be overcome!
By the time Song Yan'er and Xiao Yang started their journey to the county town in the carriage, it was almost noon, and Song's mother had nagged them for quite a while. Song Yan'er, with a "better to lose a friend than a friend" attitude, directly shifted the blame to Xiao Yang!
Xiao Yang, realizing he was in the wrong, took the blame to stop Song's mother's long-winded speech!
Song Yan'er slept all the way to the county town. It's true, she was never this tired even when she went on a mission for a day and a night without sleep. Could it be that her physical condition is not as good as before?
"Yan'er, we've arrived!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yang's voice, Song Yan'er lifted the curtain and looked outside.
The city gates soar into the clouds, and the city walls are built of thick and sturdy stones, exuding an ancient and solemn atmosphere from the inside out.
The words "Dongquan City" are engraved above the city gate in a vigorous and elegant style.
Before I could get a good look, I saw Bai Zihua riding past anxiously from the side.
"Bai Zihua!"
Song Yan'er, her mouth moving faster than her brain, called out to Bai Zihua!
Only then did Bai Zihua notice Song Yan'er and Xiao Yang, and as if he had found his pillar of support, he rushed over!
"Cousin~, Cousin's wife"
Song Yan'er...
I really shouldn't have called out to him!
"Why did you come to Winterspring City!" Judging from Bai Zihua's appearance just now, something must have happened. Otherwise, Bai Zihua is usually carefree.
"Cousin, my eldest cousin is sick. I don't know why, but it seems quite serious. Even my dad heard the news and rushed over here."
"Cousin, why don't you come with me to see my older cousin? I'm scared!"
The older cousin Bai Zihua mentioned, who is also Xiao Yang's cousin, is Xiao Yuan, the fourth son of the current emperor.
Perhaps because their mothers are sisters, Xiao Yang and Xiao Yuan have always had a good relationship!
"Yan'er, can we go see my cousin together first?" Xiao Yang didn't know if Song Yan'er had come to the city with him for some reason, so he wanted to ask for her opinion first!
"Sure, I'm fine with it!"
It was clear that Bai Zihua was genuinely worried about Xiao Yuan; his usual carefree attitude had vanished, replaced by a face full of concern!
Soon, the three arrived at the Fourth Prince's residence in Dongquan City. From the attire of the residence, one could tell what kind of person the Fourth Prince was. It was just like the residence of Prince Jing in the TV series "Nirvana in Fire" that I had watched in my previous life, with the aura of a military general everywhere.
Unlike the other princes' residences, which were all magnificent and luxurious, this place had its own unique charm!
The three of them walked through the corridor and finally arrived at the residence of the Fourth Prince, Xiao Yuan. The furnishings inside were very simple, but the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls exuded a simple and elegant atmosphere.
When the three arrived, a royal physician was taking Xiao Yuan's pulse. While taking his pulse, the physician shook his head and said, "Fourth Prince, please forgive my lack of skill. I still cannot diagnose what kind of poison you are suffering from!"
"It's alright, Physician Li will do his best to treat you!" After saying that, she waved her hand weakly, signaling Physician Li to leave.
"Ah Yang, you've arrived! This must be your newlywed wife, right?" Xiao Yuan said weakly. Despite being seriously ill, he tried to act as if nothing was wrong, which was heartbreaking to see!
"Cousin, this is my wife, Song Yan'er."
"Yan'er, this is my cousin, Xiao Yuan."
Song Yan'er nodded to Xiao Yuan as a greeting!
Then I heard Xiao Yang asking Xiao Yuan how he was poisoned.
It turns out that Dongquan City, located at the border between the Western Shu Kingdom and the Beiyang Kingdom, was a vital link in trade between the two countries. Therefore, the Beiyang Kingdom had always wanted to occupy it. However, Dongquan City was extremely wealthy, and it was home to countless highly skilled warriors. Moreover, the city lord himself was a level seven warrior. This was the reason why the Beiyang Kingdom had never succeeded in occupying it despite its desire to do so.
Recently, news of an eighth-level warrior has been reported from the border of Beiyang Kingdom. After personally testing the waters, the city lord immediately wrote to the emperor, asking him to send reinforcements, fearing that he might not be able to defend Dongquan City!
Xiao Yuan was the person sent by the Emperor to guard Dongquan City. It should be noted that there are no more than twenty level eight people in the entire Western Shu Kingdom. This time, Xiao Yuan brought two level eight people with him, which shows how much the Emperor values this matter.
