Facing the unexpected situation, several people who were facing Zheng Yan were involuntarily distracted. Zheng Yan took advantage of this opportunity and picked off one person's weapon in the flash of lightning.
However, the person on the other side quickly recovered and stabbed Zheng Yan in the arm. Zheng Yan was in pain, and the knife in his hand shook, but he still used all his strength to cut the man who dropped the weapon.
A soldier came over with a bamboo hat. Fang Zilan and Wei Subaru put on their bamboo hats and still stood there watching the battle.
The person who was stabbed by Zheng Yan is already out, and there are two more.
The sky was dark, the rain was pouring, and the visibility was not very good. The three of them almost relied on instinct to dodge, and they were all embarrassed for a moment.
Zheng Yan's whole body was soaked by the rain, but his expression remained unchanged and he held the knife in front of him, quite prepared for the situation.
His opponent, on the other hand, was breathing heavily and was obviously a little out of his depth.
"Zheng Yan, you are a waste." One of them spat violently, shouting this sentence as if to cheer up.
Zheng Yan was not irritated at all, and took his time to show off his moves. In the end, he pointed the blade of one hand directly at one person's face, and the sword he snatched with the other hand was placed on the side of the other person's neck.
The winner was decided, Fang Zilan stepped forward and said softly: "Since you have lost, then apologize, and you must not speak rudely to him in this life."
The losers had pale faces and hesitated for a long time. They apologized to Zheng Yan one by one, and then left angrily.
Wei Subaru always watched with cold eyes and said nothing. It wasn't until Fang Zilan and Zheng Yan were about to leave that he said, "Master Fang, you forgot to take your people with you."
Hearing this, Fang Zilan glanced at Shangguan Min who appeared in the corner and saw that he was covered in rain and seemed to have been standing there for a long time.
"Let's go." Fang Zilan looked indifferent. Zheng Yan understood and waved Shangguan Min over, and the three of them hurried back to the house.
"It's a deal." Fang Zilan nodded slightly, Lu Tian snorted, glared at A Wan angrily, then turned and left.
Awan made a face at Lu Tian's back, and Fang Zilan looked at her amusedly, "Girl, how old are you?"
"Three years old." Awan answered confidently, then pulled Fang Zilan's sleeve, "Okay, don't delay, let's cook the medicine."
Fang Zilan hesitated for a moment and said: "The village is simple, I'm afraid there are not many medicinal materials for you to use."
"I've already come, why don't I bring some medicinal materials with me?" Awan shook his head helplessly, "You, just put your heart back in your stomach."
Fang Zilan was thoughtful and said nothing more, letting Awan pull her towards the village, "Hey, speaking of where do you live? You don't even have a place to live..."
"At the east end of the village." Fang Zilan took Awan's wrist with her backhand and led her to where she lived.
Awan looked around, her little face wrinkled up, "Such a broken house, if it rains, I'm afraid there will be no one to live in..."
"Sister Fairy, you're back!" Xia'er's voice interrupted Awan and startled her, "Why is there a child here? It really scared me to death..."
Xia'er looked at Awan timidly and asked cautiously: "Are you a friend of Sister Fairy?"
"Sister Fairy?" Awan casually pointed at Fang Zilan beside him, "Are you talking about her?"
Xia'er nodded and heard Awan laugh, "Little sister, your vision is a bit bad. How could she be... Oh, don't pinch me..."
Awan dodged left and right, hiding and saying, "Isn't it okay if I don't say anything?"
Fang Zilan still stood there, straightening her sleeves as if nothing had happened, "Please check Xia'er's pulse. Is the poison in her body deep?"
"Okay." Awan walked over in a drawl and stretched out his hand, "Little sister, give me your hand."
Xia'er looked at Fang Zilan as if asking for help, but she saw that her expression softened a little, and she said soothingly: "Xia'er, don't be afraid, this sister is not only a skilled doctor, but also a very good person. With her here, you will be safe and sound. "
"I listen to Sister Fairy." Xia'er said, passing her hand to Awan.
Awan clicked her tongue, "I didn't realize it, but you are really good at treating little girls."
"Isn't it right for you?" Fang Zilan answered and received a blank look from A Wan, "I want to check my pulse."
Fang Zilan folded her arms and leaned against the beam beside her. After waiting for a long time, she couldn't help but frowned as she didn't hear what Awan said. Just as she was about to ask, Awan turned around with a solemn look on her face.
"Come with me." Awan pulled Fang Zilan and walked out of the house, whispering: "What's going on with her?"
"What do you mean?" Fang Zilan was confused, and Awan explained: "Her pulse is very strange. In addition to being poisoned, it is also somewhat similar to your pulse."
However, Shangguan Min followed Zheng Yan back to his room. He didn't react. He just took his own clothes and put them on for Shangguan Min.
"Do you have something to ask me?" Although it was a question, Zheng Yan's tone was very affirmative.
Shangguan Min nodded, but didn't know how to speak.
Zheng Yan said expressionlessly: "When I was young, I injured a young soldier because of an argument. Later, my father was seriously injured by the young soldier and he passed away soon after. Since then, I have been a young soldier. I am silent and taciturn. Most people in the army call me useless, but I don't care. After all, I don't know what else my fighting spirit will cost me. In this case, I just have to be patient."
Shangguan Min had never heard him say so many words before and was a little dazed, "Then today..."
"I think Mr. Fang acted like this after knowing those past events." Zheng Yan's face relaxed a little, "She is not only clearing my name, but also supporting me."
"Really?" Shangguan Min lowered his head, but heard Zheng Yan say: "She also wants me to do it for you."
Shangguan Min raised his head and said blankly: "What?"
"Shangguan Min, don't admit it." Zheng Yan looked determined and said categorically: "I have heard about you. What happened after you rebelled against me? What about the blood of the Wolf King? Those are not important. What is important is what you did and who you are. What to do.”
He paused as he spoke, "I never thought about this before, and I kept to myself. It wasn't until I became Lord Fang's general that she valued me and relied on me in everything, that I understood.
Shangguan Min pursed his lips and listened to Zheng Yan continue to speak, "Many things in the world can be avoided for a while, but not for a lifetime. This is a world where the weak is bullied and the strong is afraid. If I tolerate it in every possible way, it will only make people feel weak and bullyable. Since In this case, it is better to be the toughest person so that they know who is wrong."
After he finished speaking, he patted Shangguan Min on the shoulder, then turned around and walked out, standing under the eaves. The rain curtain in front of him was heavy and opaque, but it could not block his clear eyes.
