Jiang Wan stayed there for the entire morning.

It was not until Mrs. Qian became worried about her injuries that she forced her way in, bringing Zhou Suting and Feng Yuanfei.

Seeing the warm scene of Xie Lan and Jiang Wan holding hands, everyone was stunned.

Feng Yuanfei was embarrassed at first, but then overjoyed. He walked to the bedside in two or three steps and said in surprise: "Thank you, brother, you're awake!"

Mrs. Qian and Zhou Suting realized what was going on later and were both happy.

Zhou Suting was thoughtful and hurried out to inform Wang the Hunter and Xie Jing and the others, and also prepared some soup and medicine for breakfast.

Xie Lan was not displeased at being woken up. He nodded slightly at Feng Yuanfei and said, "Brother Yuanfei, I'm sorry to have made you worried."

"You kid! You really want to die! Yan Heihu is a martial arts master and can kill people without spilling blood. How dare you fight him to death..."

Feng Yuanfei realized that what he said was wrong, and changed his words: "Thank you, brother. Thanks to your perseverance, we were able to delay until Captain Tao and the others came over. Otherwise, we would have been in great danger!"

Xie Lan didn't blame him for saying the wrong thing, he just nodded and didn't respond.

Madam Qian approached and exclaimed: "Master Xie, I really admire you. You are not only smart, but also so brave. I can rest assured that my goddaughter is a good match for you!"

Jiang Wan's ears turned red again when she heard this. She coughed lightly and asked, "Madam Qian, are my fourth aunt and the others back?"

Madam Qian smiled and said, "I'm back! But I came back a little late last night, and I haven't woken up yet. Wait, I'll go call them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people crowded in from outside the house. They were all familiar faces to Jiang Wan and Xie Lan.

Fourth Aunt Xie and her two sons, Feng Biaotou and Erqiang and others, Qian Yu and Mr. Zhao and their family, and Xie Jing's four children.

Before Xie Lan could question Xie Jing, Xie Jing and Xie Xueling both rushed over with a "wow".

"Brother, brother! Why have you lost so much weight?!"

"Brother, Xueling misses you so much! I think about you even in my dreams!"

"Brother, why are there so many wounds on your body? What happened?!"

"Brother, Xueling is waiting for you and sister-in-law to come home every day. If you don't come back, Xueling won't be able to eat enough or sleep well. She can't wait to fly to you right away!"

"Brother, please tell me how you got hurt!"

"Big brother..."

The two children kept asking questions for a long time, and Jiang Wan couldn't get a word in.

Fortunately, Xie Lan raised her younger siblings and knew how to discipline them.

Just one look was enough to make Xie Jing and Xie Xueling shut up.

"Xiao Jing, how did you get to the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency?"

Xie Lan asked the question she wanted to ask the most.

Xie Jing had no choice but to suppress all the anxiety in his heart and briefly recounted his experience on the way here.

After Xie Lan heard this, his brows furrowed, and even though he was weak, he still looked cold and stern.

"It's the three of them again."

Jiang Wan didn't want him to worry, so she said directly: "Don't worry, I've asked Fourth Aunt and the others to appeal to the county government."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and asked Fourth Aunt Xie, who was almost in tears, "Fourth Aunt, how is it going?"

Fourth Aunt Xie wiped her tears and said happily, "It's done! Yesterday we went to the county government office to find the magistrate, but he had a lot of official business at the end of the year, so we waited for a while. Later, the magistrate came and learned about our request. He immediately took Jiang Yan'er, Liu Ershun and the other two out of jail for questioning. At first, the three of them were stubborn and colluded to say that they had never intercepted you. Later, the magistrate used some torture on them, and the three of them confessed everything, and also confessed to trying to kidnap Xueling and Xiaoliu yesterday. The magistrate was furious and beat the three of them with another twenty boards, sentenced them to tattoos, and exiled them to Lingnan."

"it is good!"

Madam Qian was the first to clasp her hands and said, "Evil will be punished! They used to bully Miss Jiang, they really don't deserve to die!"

Fourth Aunt Xie was also very disgusted with people like Jiang Yan'er who were evil-minded. She said happily, "My niece-in-law forgave them once before, but they made trouble again. They deserve to be exiled!"

Jiang Wan felt better after hearing this.

Tattooed exile is no small punishment.

The Lingnan area is vast and sparsely populated, primitive and backward, with many snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Being exiled there is more painful than the death penalty.

In the past, only criminals convicted of capital crimes would be exiled to Lingnan to perform hard labor.

Now Jiang Yan'er and the other two were sentenced to exile, which could be considered as the magistrate doing Jiang Wan a favor.

Xie Lan's expression eased a little, but he still said to Xie Jing seriously, "Don't take Xueling and the others out without permission anymore."

Xie Jing nodded rapidly, "I know, I know!"

Finally he said: "Brother, you haven't told me how you got hurt!"

Xie Jing was very concerned about this.

Xie Lan didn't want to make them worry, so she pursed her lips and said nothing.

Jiang Wan came to his rescue and said, "Your eldest brother just woke up, can't you let him rest before asking?"

Xie Jing's eyes were filled with anxiety, but he felt that Jiang Wan was right, so he had to suppress his worry and stared at Xie Lan without blinking.

Maybe Xie Xueling cried too much yesterday, so she didn't cry much today, but her big eyes were still swollen, and she looked so pitiful.

Seeing everyone in the room looking at Xie Lan with concern and satisfaction, Jiang Wan keenly sensed Xie Lan's discomfort.

She said to Fourth Aunt Xie, "Fourth Aunt, it's time for breakfast. Let's go out and eat."

Just at this moment Zhou Suting also came over and she was asking everyone to go eat.

Fourth Aunt Xie and the others had been surprised and happy these past two days. Now that they saw that Jiang Wan and Xie Lan were safe and sound, they all left with peace of mind.

Most people had left, and Jiang Wan wanted to eat and sleep, but Xie Lan still held her hand.

She felt a little embarrassed and pulled it back with force.

"Rest now. Someone will bring you some medicine later."

She left after saying this, almost escaping.

Today, the entire Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency has changed from its usual dull atmosphere to become extremely lively.

Feng Yuanfei was worried about Xie Lan's injuries, so he invited a famous doctor to treat him.

Several old doctors in their fifties were all shocked to see Xie Lan wake up so quickly.

They all agreed that Xie Lan would be in a coma for at least half a month, but unexpectedly, he woke up in just two or three days. Wasn't this a slap in their faces?

A few old men talked a lot, prescribed two prescriptions for health tonic, and left in shame.

The next day, the news that Jiang Wan and Xie Lan had woken up reached Mr. Zhou's ears.

Lord Zhou, the county magistrate, and Captain Zhao came to visit them.

Jiang Wan knew Lord Zhou and Captain Zhao. After exchanging a few words of greeting, he said nothing more.

The magistrate of Pingyao County who came with them was very interested in the two.

The county magistrate's surname was Zhu. He was in his thirties, had a square face and looked quite handsome.

He first praised Jiang Wan and Xie Lan, then said, "The Black Wind Village was a group of mountain bandits entrenched in Qingzhou a few years ago. Later, they became too violent and killed hundreds of innocent lives. The Qingzhou prefect reported to the capital, and the emperor sent General Qin to suppress the bandits. Unfortunately, the two bandit leaders, Yan Heihu and Yan Heibao, escaped. I thought they would hide their identities and live out the rest of their lives, but they were so bold and reckless that they came to the border of Pingzhou to stir up trouble."

"This time Captain Tao led his troops to suppress the bandits and took down the Black Wind Village in Rising Sun Mountain, but still failed to capture Yan Heihu and Yan Heibao. However, he captured more than 20 bandits, which is a great achievement."

He paused, looked at Xie Lan with satisfaction and said, "Heroes have always emerged from youth. Xie Lan, you killed the third leader of the Black Wind Village. You are so brave and fearless. This county magistrate must commend you!"
