The dazzling sunlight shines on my face, and the endless darkness in front of me is being dispelled.
Nan Yanxi woke up leisurely, endured the feeling of weakness all over her body, and slowly sat up from the hospital bed.
This was a not too big military tent, all white, with sunlight slanting in through the door, just enough to shine on his face.
Nan Yanxi looked around helplessly. Mo Qingyan was leaning on the bed not far away.
He had a tired and haggard expression and red and swollen eyes, as if he had just closed his eyes.
Feeling a little distressed, Nan Yanxi couldn't bear to wake her up, so she moved her hands and feet, got up and slowly got out of bed.
That night, before his consciousness dissipated, he only remembered that Nangong Wenjian seemed to have given him something.
What happened next, Nan Yanxi has no memory of.
Now it seems that she still has to ask Mo Yunxi. When she woke up and didn't see her, Nan Yanxi was still a little worried.
He put on a long robe and staggered out of the military tent.
The sun shines warmly on my body, making me feel particularly comfortable.
Nan Yanxi stood in the field, closed her eyes and raised her face, letting the sunlight shine directly on her face.
The figure of master Nangong Wenjian gradually appeared in front of his eyes.
"master...!"
Nan Yanxi stretched out her hand, trying to catch him, but missed.
Such a strange behavior made all the sergeants passing by look askance.
"Yanxi...are you...awake?"
Mo Yunxi's careful voice suddenly came from behind. Nan Yanxi slowly opened her eyes and turned to look at her.
"Are you... injured? Has the poison been cured?"
"No injuries."
Mo Yunxi shook her head, took two steps forward, and held Nan Yanxi's arm: "The poison has been cured. The poison only suppresses the internal force, but its toxicity is not strong."
"Well...where's my cousin?"
Nan Yanxi shook her head: "She looks very haggard. I didn't call her. Let her sleep for a while."
After saying that, he turned to look at Mo Yunxi, with a hint of determination in his tone: "Master...hasn't he come back yet?"
When Mo Yunxi heard this, her face suddenly darkened, and she shook her head: "There has been no news."
"Not only Senior Nangong, but also Senior Zhou and Shuanzi, there is no news..."
After saying that, he quickly comforted him and said: "No...but, I have sent spies into Kyoto overnight. Maybe there will be news about them."
"Without Senior Nangong and Senior Zhou's martial arts, maybe...maybe...it will be okay."
Listening to the comfort in her words, Nan Yanxi felt warm in her heart and forced out a smile.
"How is the situation now?"
"It's okay so far. Nan Yuexi is probably consolidating his political power and integrating the army. He hasn't launched an attack on us yet."
Mo Yunxi sighed, with a hint of reluctance in her tone: "I didn't expect that this guy actually had a hidden agenda. I was careless!"
"Fortunately, we still have 20,000 direct descendants on hand, so we can barely survive for a while."
"Not so optimistic..."
Nan Yanxi smiled bitterly and shook her head: "How can I blame you? I was too careless."
"However, he hasn't touched us yet, probably just because the chores at hand haven't been taken care of yet."
"We don't have much food and grass now, the land route is impassable, and there are no boats on the waterway. We are basically trapped animals."
"When he finishes cleaning up the capital, he will definitely launch an attack like us."
"And..." Nan Yanxi paused and said in a deep voice: "He suddenly attacked this time, so he must have been well prepared."
"If I guess correctly, Dayan may have already launched an attack."
"The troops were divided into two groups, and one group of elite troops made a surprise landing from Lieyang County, directly dividing the Zhenxi King's army into two."
"It's because the leader can't take care of each other, and the logistics supplies are completely cut off."
"And the other route, in cooperation with the 10,000 defenders on the Dragon Tooth Islands, raided the Black Flood Dragon Island and arrived here with almost no obstruction."
"At that time, all the land and waters on both sides of the northeast will fall into the enemy's hands, and we will become a completely trapped beast."
"But... what should we do?" Mo Yunxi was also at a loss: "No one can rush out to deliver a message to King Zhenxi now."
"No one can come to help us... we can't force ourselves out, right?"
Hearing this, Nan Yanxi was about to say something when Mo Qingyan's anxious shouting came from the tent behind her.
"Yan Xi... Yan Xi..."
The two heard the sound and hurried back, but they happened to bump into Mo Qingyan who was rushing out of the tent.
"Where have you been? Why did you go out without telling me!"
This was the first time Nan Yanxi saw Mo Qingyan delivering goods, and she felt a little embarrassed.
He scratched his head: "Sister Qingyan...I..."
Before she finished speaking, Mo Qingyan hugged her, and Nan Yanxi and the two were stunned.
But it soon became clear that something happened last night, and now Nangong Wenjian's life and death were unknown again.
Nan Yanxi was the last comfort in her heart.
She just woke up and found that she was missing, which really frightened her.
Her hands hesitated for a moment, and she was about to hug the trembling body in her arms, but she didn't expect that Mo Qingyan just touched him lightly, and then let go of him.
He wiped away his tears without trace, turned his head and deliberately avoided the eyes of the two people: "Do they... have any news?"
"Not yet...not yet."
"oh..."
Mo Qingyan's delicate body was obviously stunned for a moment, but she tried her best to hide it and walked towards the tent.
Seeing this, Mo Yunxi ran two steps quickly, took Mo Qingyan's arm and comforted her: "Cousin, don't worry..."
"I sent a lot of spies to sneak into Kyoto. The news about Senior Nangong should be sent back soon."
"Maybe...maybe he's just injured. We just need to try to rescue him."
"Yun'er, you don't need to comfort me." Mo Qingyan smiled sadly and shook her head: "Actually, I understand in my heart."
"For that old man, I just feel... I feel that he is so pitiful in his life."
"I have been living for others my whole life, and even my death was for us. I just..."
"I... owe him so much in my life."
Nan Yanxi sighed, reached out and patted her shoulder: "Why don't I do the same?"
"We... owe the old man a lot."
The three of them were immersed in sadness, and the atmosphere suddenly became dull.
"Report..."
Suddenly, the voice of a soldier came from outside the account. The three of them turned around and said in unison: "Come in!"
"yes!"
The soldier ran into the military tent in two steps: "Report to Your Highness, the spies sent out have returned one after another."
"Ju Tan reported that the rebels in the city are gathering after lunch, and the armies are distributing rations and ordnance."
Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other, and their expressions suddenly became serious.
I'm afraid that Nan Yuexi will use troops here as early as tomorrow morning. If so, it also means that Dayan's army is making good progress.
At least the one that landed on the east side has probably succeeded.
Nan Yanxi took a deep breath and asked: "Is there any news about our people who are trapped in the city?"
"This..." The soldier thought for a while: "Not yet."
Nan Yanxi nodded and told the soldier: "We will investigate again and report any new information as soon as possible."
"yes!"
The soldier agreed, turned around and ran out.
"No! Nan Yuexi wants to take action!"
Mo Yunxi looked solemn: "It seems that he still has his followers in the court, otherwise he would not have stabilized the court so quickly."
"Cousin, Yan Xi, now is not the time to be sad, we must take action."
Hearing this, Mo Qingyan nodded in agreement and said anxiously: "But, what can we do?"
"The army is blocked on the north coast. It cannot fight or run away. We...can't abandon the army and run away on our own, right?"
He turned around and said, "Yan Xi, what can you do?"
"What a way..."
"Report!"
Nan Yanxi's words were interrupted again.
The three of them turned around and saw that the soldier had a look of joy on his face and rushed into the tent without waiting for the three of them to agree.
Pointing backwards with trembling fingers: "A happy event...a great event, Your Highness."
"Mr. Zhou and... and Mr. Nangong are back!"
"Boom!" With one word, the three people in the tent suddenly stood up and ran out of the tent.
Nan Yanxi took the lead, and from a distance came Zhou Zhicheng and Xiao Shuanzi, who were surrounded by a group of military doctors, as well as Nangong Wenjian, who was lying on a stretcher.
"Master! Uncle Zhou! Shuanzi!"
Following the shouts of joy and excitement, the three of them turned to look.
Mo Qingyan covered her mouth and burst into tears, while Nan Yanxi also shed tears of excitement.
They looked at these three people in disbelief: "Uncle Zhou...Master...you...you scared me to death!"
"Hahaha... As a teacher, this is nothing."
Nangong Wenjian didn't care, and comforted everyone with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't die yet."
