"It's okay to apologize, but to say thank you... where does the thank you come from?"

"Thank you for raising the eagle."

The man yelled, "It turns out that Changkong saved your lives."

He waved to Changkong, and Changkong bowed his head obediently and rubbed it under his hand, very intimately.

Yi Yan helped Zhan Shuyun and asked again: "Can I ask where this is?"

"Xuntian Mountain."

Xuntian Mountain, Xuntian Temple.

Unexpectedly, I just came back after going around for a while.

Yi Yan thanked him again and wanted to help Zhan Shuyun leave.

"etc."

The man called her to stop, walked a few steps in front of her, and leaned over slightly.

Ember took a step back.

The man looked at her with a smile and said, "Why are you so nervous, girl? You are afraid that I am a bad person."

"Well... although I don't think I'm a good person, I shouldn't be considered a bad person either."

He stretched out his hand to lift Shu Yun's chin, and said again, "It's indeed Brother Shu Yun."

We actually knew each other.

But if you think about it carefully, Jingzhong is only such a big place, so everyone has never seen anyone.

There were many powerful people in the capital, but she had not seen many of them. However, judging from the way he behaved and dressed, he was a member of an aristocratic family, and he had dealt with Zhan Shuyun before.

So it's not surprising that they know each other.

"Do you know Mr. Zhan?"

However, I still have to say it in a pretentious manner.

"Of course we know each other, but I don't know who the girl is..."

"I am... a soldier borrowed by Lord Zhan."

Borrowed soldiers?

What is this statement?

The man smiled. Although he thought this statement was novel, he was not so curious, so he didn't ask any more questions.

He straightened up and said, "Liu Huaian."

Yi Yan was silent for a moment, not quite understanding why the man signed up this time.

Introduce yourself?

By the way, bring out the relationship with Zhan Shuyun?

Or...ask her her name?

By the way, they know each other!

Yi Jin suddenly asked: "May I ask how the relationship between Master Liu and Master Zhan is?"

"not bad."

Yu Yan was relieved, and she simply put Zhan Shuyun into Liu Huaian's arms, "Then Mr. Zhan will trouble Young Master Liu and leave."

"Reciprocity without leaving your name?"

Ember: "I..."

What name was reported to Zhan Shuyun at that time?

"Yu Mo."

Should be this.

Afraid of bringing up another topic, and afraid of being stopped and dragging Zhan Shuyun away, Yi Yan wiped the soles of his feet with oil and simply ran away. His movements were neat and smooth, and he didn't show any sign of the initial injury or weakness.

Liu Huaian looked at Yu Yan's quickly disappearing figure, smiled, adjusted his posture and carried Zhan Shuyun on his shoulders.

"Brother Shu Yun, the soldiers you borrowed are quite interesting."

Zhan Shuyun naturally couldn't hear him. He was carried on Liu Huaian's shoulders, his head and arms were drooping, and he was swaying with Liu Huaian's steps.

Here, Yi Yan spent a lot of effort to climb to the top of the mountain, turned around, roughly stepped on the terrain, and then headed straight for a Zen temple.

The Zen monastery here is also located in the back mountain of Xuntian Mountain. There are few people in the back mountain, and there are not many people coming and going. Occasionally, only one or two people are seen here, so it is easy for Yi Yan to avoid people and reach the Zen monastery smoothly.

"Who is it?" It was Lian Ying's voice.

"It's me." Ember said.

The door opened from the inside, Lian Ying stuck her head out and looked around to make sure no one was there, then quickly welcomed Yi Yan in.

"Miss, you are finally back."

Lian Ying wears the clothes of Ember, and uses rouge and gouache to modify her facial features. At first glance, she looks similar to Ember, but she doesn't stand up to a closer look.

"Miss is injured."

Lian Ying hurriedly dug out the medicine box and brought some clean clothes over to help Yu Yan treat his wounds.

"I can do it myself. Go and boil some hot water for me. I want to scrub it first."

Lian Ying obeyed and went out, while Yi Yan slowly took off his clothes layer by layer, trying not to let the clothes stick to the skin and open the wound.

However, no matter how careful he was, the peeling off of clothes and skin would inevitably tear out new blood stains. Yi Yan frowned and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. It was not until his clothes were taken off that he finally dared to breathe heavily.

The scars on her back were intertwined, with old and new scars overlapping each other, and even a slightly larger piece of intact skin could not be seen.

Yi Yan found a clean handkerchief and wiped it casually with the tea on the table, sprinkled some medicinal powder on it and simply bandaged it, and put on clean clothes.

Although there was pain during the whole process, the movements were not sluggish. It was obvious that I had done these things frequently and was used to it.

Yan Yan knelt down in front of the dressing table, found a pair of scissors, cut the rope, and took off the mask.

A face was reflected in the mirror, a face with scars.

Yi Yan took out a clean handkerchief, poured a bottle of potion, then applied it to his face and covered it for a while before wiping it hard. When he opened the handkerchief, he saw something similar to human skin sticking to it, while Yi Yan's face reappeared.

It has become smooth and flat, but the places where the scars originally adhered are red and there are still traces of blood spots attached.

"It's all a waste of time."

Having said that, Yi Yan never felt that what he said was unnecessary.

She likes to leave an extra path when doing things, so that things will have an extra layer of security.

"Miss, the water is ready."

Yi Yan responded and went to freshen up first, then apply medicine and change clothes again.

Although she doesn't like trouble, trouble and cleanliness go hand in hand, and she chooses cleanliness.

"Please tell me what has happened recently, what is related to me, and what needs my special attention."

After finishing all these things, Yi Yan finally relaxed and had time to ask and find out what happened while she was away from home.

"Miss, I came to Xuntian Temple disguised as you as you asked. During the day, I would go to the Zen Master and meditate for an hour. Except for the occasional person who met the Zen Master who was meditating with me, no one bothered me."

That is to say, I didn't meet anyone who came to visit me, so things were relatively peaceful during this period.

"But there are some things in the house that need to be decided by the young lady."

"What's the matter?"

"It's a blessing."

She never accepts invitations, and everyone in the Duan family should know her attitude, but since she needs to make the decision, it must be that the person who is offering invitations has status and she cannot refuse easily, or there is another purpose behind the post.

.

I just don't know which one it is.

Ember signaled Lian Ying to continue.

"My lady, this is what happened. Yesterday, the young master came with a message, saying that the eldest princess's residence had sent a greeting card to invite the young lady to attend the flower-viewing banquet on the ninth day of the lunar month. The lady said that the eldest princess was of high status and it was not easy to refuse the greeting card.

, I hope Miss will weigh it herself."

"Brother is here?"

After receiving the affirmative answer, Ember remained silent for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Duan Qingrong discovered that she was gone, "Brother, is there anything else you can say?"

Lian Ying thought about it carefully and replied: "No more."

Then Lian Ying said some more things, but in the eyes of Yi Yan, they were trivial matters.

Ember nodded and asked, "Is there anything else?"
