Outside Danxia City, in the camp of Fengyuan Army, Yan Xuanye had just woken up from a nightmare. Fine beads of sweat on his forehead wet his hair. He sat dejectedly at the head of the bed, recalling the scenes in his dream.

The blazing fire engulfed the entire house. Lu Huan staggered out holding a tablet that was mostly burnt. It seemed that a heavy burning object had hit his back. There was no clothing on that part, and even his skin and flesh were burned, which was a shocking sight.

But Lu Huan seemed not to notice, and just stared blankly at the tablet in his arms. There was remorse in his eyes, as if he was greatly shocked and could not accept such a result.

……

The scene changed and it showed Lu Huan holding Su Qian's body and sobbing in despair. The usually cold and arrogant Lu Huan had bloodshot eyes at that moment and looked tired, sad and bitter.

There was a sharp dagger stuck in Su Qian's neck. Lu Huan held her hand and tried his best to suppress his trembling.

……

Yan Xuanye hid silently in the darkness, his eyes were cold, full of madness and cruelty, as if he was in a dark abyss.

He didn't know why he dreamed of such scenes, and these two scenes had some similarities with the rumors about the fire in Lu Huan's mansion a few days ago.

He continued like this until dawn, and finally felt a little tired. He slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were clear again.

"Your Highness, the wizard is waiting outside the tent."

Yan Xuanye stood up and put on his outer robe, and said in a steady voice, "Let him in."

The mage, wearing a Taoist robe and a jade crown on his head, said respectfully, "Your Highness."

Yan Xuanye sat upright on the throne with narrow eyes. Just a glance at him could make people feel his powerful aura.

He asked, "How is it?"

"The person your highness is looking for has returned."

Yan Xuanye leaned forward, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Where is she?"

The mage made a gesture and began to make a careful divination. "This person's movements are unpredictable. We cannot know his exact location for the time being."

Yan Xuanye was somewhat dissatisfied, "Why is this?"

"This person is still moving and has not completely stopped. Only when he stops completely can we determine his whereabouts."

"So where is she roughly? What direction?"

Mage: "This person is currently located in the northwest, within the territory of Zhao State."

Yan Xuanye's heart sank, as it was related to Lu Huan again.

It seemed that no matter how Lu Huan hurt her, she could forget the past, put it behind her, and travel thousands of miles to be with Lu Huan to find him.

It was like this last time and it is like this time as well.

"Okay, I understand, you can leave now."

"Wait until she stops moving, then come back and report."

"Yes."

……

After about six or seven days of trekking, Su Qian settled down in a farm outside Danxia City, which was far away from the battlefield but also within the scope of Danxia City.

Last time, she made a deal with Lu Huan, and the two reached an agreement. Then Lu Huan sent her to live in a farm outside the city, and he brought his people back to Danxia City.

The war is still going on, but the two sides are evenly matched and neither side has the upper hand.

She stayed in this farm for a few days, and during these days, she had been thinking about how to persuade Yan Xuanye to stop the war.

The current situation is really a dilemma for her.

After all, she had betrayed Yan Xuanye before. Logically, he would be very angry now, and perhaps even hate her. It is not impossible that he even wants to capture her and torture her severely.

Therefore, she must come up with a foolproof plan before she can go to meet Yan Xuanye.

Fortunately, this farm has all the daily necessities, otherwise, as a modern person, she doesn’t know how she can survive here.

Su Qian made herself a bowl of vegetable porridge, sat down at the table, and thought slowly.

Listening to the rustling sound of the wind through the bamboo forest outside, she always felt a little uneasy.

There was a point in the deal she made with Lu Huan at the time, which required Lu Huan not to interfere with any of her decisions and actions, nor to send anyone to monitor her.

This place is sparsely populated, with almost no one around except herself. But recently, she always heard the sound of wind in the bamboo forest outside, and she felt a little strange inside.

Although the weather was cold and windy, and it was extremely normal to have wind noise, it was not so frequent in the first few days after she moved in.

Especially at night, when she was half asleep in the middle of the night, she seemed to hear some faint sounds of footsteps outside the house. However, because she occasionally dreamed at night and could not hear clearly when she was asleep, there was no substantial evidence.

Therefore, she had no choice but to be more careful.

The sun slowly sets in the west. Even though the New Year has passed and it is spring, it is still very cold and chilly.

The daylight hours were short, so it got dark early. At night, Su Qian took a bath early, blew out the candle, lay on the couch, and wrapped herself tightly in a thick quilt.

For a few minutes after lying down, she deliberately stayed awake, wanting to see if there was anyone secretly spying on her life.

But after holding on for a long time, there was still complete silence outside, so quiet that it was a little scary.

When the moon was at its highest point in the sky, Su Qian finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep.

Not long after she fell into a deep sleep, the tightly closed door was pried open with a sword. The man walked into the inner room under the bright moonlight, feeling cool. His face looked calm, but undercurrents were surging in his eyes.

Before coming in, Yan Xuanye thought very clearly. This time, he would wait until the day when Su Qian took the initiative to approach him.

But after stepping into the room, just seeing the vague figure on the couch was enough to stir his thoughts.

Let him wait? Wait for what?

Wait until she runs away with that man?

If that's the case, why should he make things difficult for himself? Why should he suppress his emotions and wait?

She was here now, a weak little girl. What could she do even if he forced himself on her?

Thinking of this, Yan Xuanye's Adam's apple rolled. He walked to the side of the couch and looked quietly at the face of the person on the couch.

He stretched out his fingers, sliding them from her eyebrows to her fan-shaped eyelashes, to the tip of her upturned nose, and then down to her red lips. He rubbed her lips hard with his index finger and heard her faint groan.

Yan Xuanye's eyes became even colder. He stared at her solemnly, his face dim in the darkness, making it difficult to see or understand.

Another half a quarter of an hour later, he took out the sleeping pills he had prepared long ago from his sleeve. This pill was originally intended to be used in case Su Qian was unwilling to leave with him.

At this moment, he looked at the face of the woman on the couch and suddenly didn't want to ask her anymore.

He was very sure in his heart that he wanted her, whether she agreed to go with him or not, he wanted her.

In this case, whether she takes the medicine while she is awake or while she is asleep, the result will be the same.

Yan Xuanye let Su Qian smell the medicine and saw that her originally furrowed brows slowly relaxed, so he was sure that the medicine really worked.

He took the dress beside him and put it on Su Qian carefully, then took off his own black cloak, wrapped Su Qian tightly, and then carried her horizontally and strode away from here...
