"Hey, the guy inside...isn't he awake yet?"
"No, there's no movement at all. Just like this, another day has passed."
"Hey, I didn't realize it before, but this one is quite capable of sleeping."
"He is also a poor man. He hasn't had a good night's sleep in an unknown amount of time."
"Hey, these young men look good on the surface. They want money, power, and everything they want. But... I'm afraid only they themselves know how hard they live behind the scenes."
"Isn't that right? They are the ones being mentioned, even our Duke and the Marquis. It is not easy for each of them. They have to worry about the security of Daxia's borders all day long. Look at them, and then look at ourselves. Suddenly I feel that this kind of ordinary life is quite good, and being too ambitious is not necessarily a good thing."
"Being safe and sound is better than anything else. When we envy them, they also envy us, and they also think that one day in the future, they can live an ordinary life without fighting against the world."
"That's right, aren't all people like this? You envy me, and I envy you."
"It's dinner time again, and I don't know if that guy can make it in time for today's dinner. If he goes to sleep again, General Shen will probably really hire a doctor to come and see him."
"I guess you're about to wake up. You wait here while I go to the dining room and ask someone to prepare hot water and tea, so that you won't be in a hurry for a while."
"Okay, if he wakes up, I will remember to report to the Duke's Mansion."
Yerunan, who was sleeping in a daze, vaguely heard the conversation coming from outside, but he didn't hear what was said clearly. He just felt that his head was a little groggy.
He slowly opened his eyes, and after a while, he saw the furnishings in the room clearly. He stretched and sat up from the bed slowly. The quilt fell off his shoulders and he couldn't help but sneeze.
Hearing the movement inside the house, the postman who had been guarding the door knocked gently.
"Come in!" Yerunan rubbed his neck, raised his head and looked at the postman who pushed in the door.
"Master Yelu, you finally woke up." Seeing Yelu Nan alive, the postman breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you... feeling uncomfortable?"
"Uncomfortable place?" Yerunan shook his head in confusion, "No, I think it's pretty good, but what does it mean to finally wake up? Did I...did I miss the dinner appointment with your father-in-law? ?”
"Master Yelu, are you sleepy? Where is the hour? You have been sleeping for three whole days!" Seeing Yelu Nan like this, the postman couldn't help but sigh, "Don't be anxious either. "In the past few days when you were asleep, the Duke, the Marquis and the General had people come to see you every day, and they also ordered the children to take good care of you." He looked at Yerunan who still hadn't come back to his senses, helplessly. He shook his head and said, "You...relax your mind first. I'll prepare some hot water for you to wash up with. I'll take my leave now."
The postman saluted Yerunan and quickly left the room. While sending someone to report the news to the Duke's Mansion, he hurried to the dining room.
"Three days?"
Yerunan looked at the door that the postman had forgotten to close, and still couldn't believe his ears. He still felt as if he woke up just after falling asleep. Unexpectedly, it was already his fourth day in Jiapingguan City.
Standing up from the bed, Yerunan slowly moved his body, which was a little stiff from sleep. Thinking about what the postman had just said, he felt a little desolate and sad.
When he was in Linhuang Mansion in Liao Kingdom, he couldn't sleep well almost all night long. It was obviously the place where he was born and grew up, and he was surrounded by blood relatives, friends and brothers who had been with him since childhood. But in such an environment, he would feel very unsafe. On a good day, he could sleep for an hour or two every day. On a bad day, he would stare in the study all night long.
As for Jiapingguan City, in his perception, it was a place surrounded by enemies. Although he had never fought face to face on the battlefield, he had interacted with them in private over the years. He never imagined that he could actually let down his guard on the enemy's territory and sleep for three whole days.
"Ha!" Yerunan couldn't help but sneered. Such a comparison suddenly felt particularly ironic. Or maybe... he had unknowingly regarded these people in Jiaping Pass as true friends. .
At this moment, Yerunan heard what seemed to be light footsteps on the roof. He quickly turned around and grabbed the long sword placed under the pillow. When he turned around again, his eyes fell back on When he was at the door, he saw a mysterious man who was wrapped tightly in a black cloak from head to toe, and his face could not be seen clearly, only two eyes showing.
Seeing the appearance of this person, Yerunan couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He was such a restless guy. He came in a hurry before he could do anything, and he wasn't afraid of being discovered by others.
"Nan has met Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Although he felt disgusted in his heart, Yerunan still saluted respectfully and said hello to the man in black. "Your Highness Princess...how have you been during this time? It should be pretty good, right?"
"Thank you for your connection. Everything is fine with me."
"That's good. After Nan goes back, I can convey it to my uncle." Yerunan did not put down the long sword in his hand. After greeting each other, he walked to the door, stuck his head out, and looked left and right. After making sure that no one was watching, he gently closed the door and said, "You're just here, aren't you afraid of being seen by others?"
"Don't worry, I went around the city several times and got rid of my tail."
"Oh? With a tail? It seems that they don't trust you very much."
"It's not what you said. They don't have any clue about this elder sister. Therefore, anyone who goes out will be followed by a shadow. There is no need to be alarmed. Anan, don't worry, I won't let him They found me so quickly.”
"As long as you know what you are doing, the people in the Shen family army, especially General Shen, are not easy to fool. They are very clever. If she wants to do something, no one will know it unless she does it. . Therefore, the one you need to be careful about most is her. Even if she is not suspicious yet, it will be a matter of time before she is discovered. But before that, because of your own carelessness, someone caught you, and what trouble will result? If your uncle blames you for the necessary trouble, there is nothing we can do to save you."
"Anan, you...do you have any misunderstandings about me? Did we have any misunderstandings before?" The man in black frowned tightly, "You would never talk like this before."
"Misunderstanding? We don't see each other a few times in a year, so how could there be any misunderstanding? Her Royal Highness the Princess is too worried." Yerunan moved a stool for the man in black, "Sit down, since you are here, then If you have something to say to me, just say it, we don’t have much time, don’t let anyone bump into you.”
"Don't worry. The postman won't be back for a while. We can talk quietly for a while."
"Her Royal Highness is your Royal Highness, she is thoughtful and considerate." Yerunan held his long sword, leaned on the table, and looked at the man in black expressionlessly.
"Anan, are you and A-Lan really going to cooperate with the Shen Jiajun and betray your father?"
