Duan Wujiu cannot have any weaknesses, and Liu Zhiheng cannot have any weaknesses either.
Feng Buding understood what Duan Wujiu meant and couldn't help but sigh heavily.
"You are King Yan. As the medical officer in your palace and your subordinate, I think you have done the right thing. But as your relative...my uncle just wants you to be accompanied by a woman who understands both cold and hot..."
"Knowing how cold it is and how hot it is?" Duan Wujiu couldn't help laughing, "Is there some misunderstanding about Liu Zhiheng, maybe? You can say that she is beautiful and talented, but when did she know how cold it is and how hot it is?"
"Then let's not talk about knowing how hot or cold she is, but just talk about what suits you. Just tell me whether she suits your liking?"
Duan Wujiu avoided answering, "These are not the most important things. Why is uncle so mother-in-law?"
"No blame, you haven't had a good life in your life. When you were a child, you didn't have any real relatives around you. You were humiliated in the palace and struggled to survive. When you get older, you work hard and suffer all the time to learn this skill. . You have never experienced the spirit of youth or the friendship of classmates, nor have you ever had a confidante to relieve your worries... My uncle really doesn't want you to be so lonely all your life."
Lonely?
Duan Wujiu remembered that Liu Zhiheng said that what she fears most is loneliness.
But he also thought about what Liu Zhiheng said: people always have to endure something for their own ambitions.
He lowered his eyes slightly and couldn't help but smile.
"Uncle, don't worry. It's just loneliness. I can bear it."
What Liu Zhiheng could endure, there was no reason why he, Duan Wujiu, couldn't.
Doctor Feng was helpless. Seeing that Duan Wujiu refused to listen, he waved his hand and said, "It's up to you. Since you want to leave, go back to the palace as soon as possible. You'll have to recover from your injury for at least a month."
"Wait a little longer. I'll wait until they have taken care of things in Peach Blossom Village before I leave."
"We don't need you here. Ziyang and the others are enough. Are you reluctant to leave?"
"I came today for the sake of the Snow Mountain layman. How could I leave like this?"
Feng Buding muttered: "It's best that this is the reason."
Duan Wujiu was speechless for a moment, but fortunately, Ziyang came outside the carriage at this time, reported the progress to Duan Wujiu, and explained the current situation: all the dead people in Linjia Village have been laid to rest; Yizi's war horses are all excellent The stallions have all been handed over to the horse supervisor; a total of two hundred Yi Zibing came this time. Half of them were killed by the villagers of Taohua Village when they came, and the rest were usually found and exterminated.
Duan Wu Jiu was interested when he heard this, he opened the curtain and asked: "The people in Taohua Village actually killed so many Beiyi soldiers? How?"
"They dug holes to bury them."
Ziyang recounted to Duan Wujiu in detail what the villagers of Taohua Village had done. Duan Wujiu smiled more and more as he listened.
"Master, the villagers of Taohua Village are waiting outside now, saying they want to kneel down to thank the prince for saving his life."
Duan Wu Jiu was puzzled, "Thank you for what I am doing? Even if I don't come, I'm afraid they will kill those barbarians."
"The village chief said that if you hadn't told Miss Liu in advance that there would be Yizi attacks, they wouldn't have taken precautions in advance, and they wouldn't have been able to think of such a good way to save the lives of the whole village."
Duan Wujiu frowned and thought for a moment, when did he remind Liu Zhiheng?
"Where's Miss Liu?"
"Miss Liu has been helping with the follow-up matters and has just returned from her work. Do you need me to invite you?"
"No, you go and tell her, and I'll go find her myself."
"Where are the villagers who are waiting to kneel down to thank you?"
"Let them go back and have a rest. Just say that I understand, but I feel unwell and have disappeared."
"yes."
Ziyang stepped back, and Duan Wujiu was about to get off the carriage, but he met Doctor Feng's meaningful eyes.
"I have a few things to ask her. It's not what my uncle thought."
"I know." Doctor Feng took out a pill and gave it to Duan Wujiu: "I don't know how long you will stay. Take another pill. I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on."
Duan Wu Jiu was a little angry, "I just want to say a few words, what do you need to support me?"
"I know, your body needs to rest now and you can't get excited. Aren't I afraid of your mood swings?"
Duan Wu Jiu thought for a while, then took the medicine, then got out of the car and went to look for Liu Zhiheng.
…
Liu Zhiheng had been helping the village chief for a long time, and now he was free. In order to better hide in the snow today, she wore white clothes. As a result, Murong Xinyue smelled of blood. After she returned, she quickly changed her clothes inside and outside. As soon as she changed, Chun Cao He knocked on the door and said Duan Wu Jiu was here.
Liu Zhiheng did not expect that Duan Wujiu would come in person, and thought that according to his temperament, he would definitely call her to visit him.
"please come in."
Chun Cao opened the door, invited Duan Wu Jiu in, and then closed the door very discerningly, leaving only Liu Zhiheng and Duan Wu Jiu in the room.
The two of them had just experienced such a fierce battle together, and now they felt strangely uncomfortable seeing each other.
It was Liu Zhiheng who spoke first, "Is your injury okay?"
"This king is not going to be able to bear even a small injury."
"That's good..." Liu Zhiheng quickly moved the chair away and asked Duan Wujiu to sit down, "Your Highness, please sit down."
Duan Wujiu sat down at the Eight Immortals table. Liu Zhiheng took the initiative to pick up the tea set on the table and make tea for Duan Wujiu. Duan Wujiu quietly watched Liu Zhiheng make tea without saying anything.
"Your Majesty, please have tea."
Duan Wu Jiu took the tea cup and took a sip. The strange silence in the room was also strange. Duan Wu Jiu was not a person who couldn't talk, but when he was alone with Liu Zhiheng, he always didn't know what to say.
"The prince should have something to ask me, right?" In the end, it was Liu Zhiheng who spoke first.
"Well, it's just that there are so many questions to ask that I don't even know where to start."
"Then let's start with the most important thing." Liu Zhiheng said nonchalantly, "I will tell you everything I know today."
"You're not hurt, are you?"
Liu Zhiheng didn't expect that this was Duan Wu Jiu's most important question.
"No, aren't you blocking me?"
"Ah That's good."
Liu Zhiheng was a little anxious, "That's it? Don't you ask me who the Snow Mountain layman is? Didn't you come to Taohua Village just for the Snow Mountain layman?"
Duan Wu Jiu was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked directly into Liu Zhiheng's eyes and asked, "Is that you?"
This time it was Liu Zhiheng's turn to have nothing to say.
She never thought that Duan Wujiu would directly guess that the Snow Mountain layman was hers. After all, she was a woman. After all, she lived in the era where men looked down upon women, let alone this feudal era.
"Why do you think I am a snow mountain layman?"
"Because you said that you want to search high and low to know that the world is vast and the universe is infinite. Most people cannot say this."
"Did you guess at that time that I was a Snow Mountain layman?"
"No, I didn't think in this direction at all at that time. It was only today when I was thinking about what happened during this period in the carriage that I gradually came back to it."
"What did I do today to make you think like this? I didn't do anything outrageous."
"No...it's just an intuition." Duan Wujiu thought for a moment and said, "I just feel that in this Taohua Village, not even the entire Pingzhou, the entire Yan Land, except you, no one else is worthy of being a layman in the snow mountain."
Liu Zhiheng looked at Duan Wujiu and didn't say anything for a long time.
There was a long silence in the room.
Liu Zhiheng really didn't understand. Duan Wujiu praised her when he praised her. Why did he have to push everyone else down?
