Although he was rejected, Zhuang Wan still shamelessly approached.

"I'll give you something nice!"

"What good thing?" Chen Wujin and others ran over and surrounded him.

"What good thing is it?"

"Quick, show us!"

Zhuang Wan had no choice but to take it out and said, "It's a mosquito repellent pack."

"This thing is so good, I was bitten by more than a dozen mosquitoes in just a short time."

"Okay, okay, take them all!" Zhuang Wan left one for Yan Cheng and divided the rest between them.

When she turned around, Yan Cheng had already gone out.

She sighed helplessly. Although she was borrowing flowers to offer to the Buddha, she still put away the most exquisite medicine bag. When she opened the bag, she accidentally saw the wooden dragonfly. Thinking back to all the things she had spent with Yan Cheng, she discovered that,

It seemed that Yan Cheng had already expressed his love for her a long time ago, but she didn't think about it at all.

The moon in the sky was as bright as a flaw, Yan Cheng raised his head and looked up, how wonderful it would be if the bright moon could bring his heart to the person he loved.

He ignored Zhuang Wan not because he was angry with her, but because he didn't know how to face her. When Zhuang Wan said that she didn't like him, he felt more sad.

Before meeting Zhuang Wan, everyone hated him, and no one liked him, the evil star, but he didn't think anything of it. But when the only woman he thought might like him and share the joys and sorrows with him said that she actually didn't like him at all.

, he felt as if he had had a dream, and after waking up from the dream, he was still the evil star that everyone despised.

Could it be that, as the Taoist said, he is a "lone star" and destined to live alone...

"You are here!" Pang Ao, who was passing by, saw him and walked over quickly.

"General!" Yan Cheng saluted with clasped fists.

"Hey, there are no outsiders at the moment. You and I can be brothers!" Pang Ao put his arm on Yan Cheng's shoulder, "Come on, play chess with me."

"Playing chess?" Yan Cheng didn't understand that Pang Ao could still be so leisurely and elegant when the war was about to begin.

"Yes! I'm worried that I can't find anyone!"

When Yan Cheng arrived at Pang Ao's tent, he realized that this so-called chess game was not that simple.

"The black ones are you, and the white ones are me." Pang Ao pointed to the sand table in front of him and said, "This is Mangshan Pass. How should you arrange your troops?"

Mangshan Pass is the place where Nanyi fought. Although the terrain is flat, it can be backed by mountains on one side and water on the other. If Nanyi is defeated, they can escape into the foggy mountains, but if our army is defeated, there will be no retreat.

Yan Cheng grabbed a handful of sunspots and said, "I will arrange three thousand soldiers and horses here to cut off the retreat of the Nanyi. Here I will set up archers to attack by rolling wood and stones. Here the cavalry will be supplemented by chariots. Here..."

Yan Cheng arranged all the sunspots in his hand on the sand table, not missing any of them.

"Wonderful!" Pang Ao clapped his hands and applauded, "I really saw the right person! Your troop formation is exactly the same as what the prince showed! If we march and fight according to this, we will win!"

"Brother, it's too early to speak!" Yan Cheng raised his right hand with a sunspot in it.

Pang Ao said in confusion: "This is..."

Yan Cheng placed the last sunspot in an inconspicuous place in the southwest and said, "There is a canyon here, and there is no sign on it."

Pang Ao looked at it carefully and said, "The prince sent people to personally explore this. There is no canyon."

Yan Cheng explained: "This canyon leads directly to Nanyi. The trace may have been obscured by falling rocks or forest growth, so that the explorers did not find it. I also accidentally read about Mangshan Pass in an ancient book.

According to records, there was indeed a canyon there many years ago."

Pang Ao nodded and said: "In that case, I have to report it to the prince quickly and send someone to take a look again."

He glanced at the sunspot and said, "Then this is..."

Yan Cheng clasped his hands and said, "If the elder brother can be trusted, the younger brother is willing to defend here."

Pang Ao was deeply pleased to see him taking the initiative to ask for help, but he could not agree to it immediately.

Just because Xiao Jingchen did not use new soldiers when allocating troops and horses, if anything went wrong, he would not be able to escape the blame.

"How many people do you want?"

"Three hundred people are enough!" Yan Cheng replied.

"Okay!" Pang Ao said: "I will promise you this first, and I will report it to the prince. If you win this time, I will definitely ask for credit for you."

"Thank you, big brother!" Yan Cheng knelt down on one knee: "I just have one more thing to ask for, and I hope that big brother can grant it."

Pang Ao quickly helped him up: "Brother, if you have any difficulties, just tell me."

"I hope eldest brother can arrange for Zhuang Wan to be admitted to Huotou camp."

…

Zhuang Wan hit her forehead on the table and woke up from her drowsiness due to pain.

She touched her forehead and rubbed her eyes. Yan Cheng hadn't come back yet. Everyone else was already asleep, and they were snoring one after another.

Where has this person gone? He's not seeking suicide, right?

When she got up to go out and take a look, Yan Cheng opened the curtain and came in.

"You're finally back!" She hurriedly greeted him.

Yan Cheng was a little surprised, "You...are waiting for me?"

Zhuang Wan nodded: "I'm afraid of you..."

She almost said that she was afraid that he would not be able to think about it.

"I'm afraid you'll get lost!"

Yan Cheng smiled helplessly: "Go to sleep!"

"Yeah!" Zhuang Wan hurriedly went to make the bed for him. She felt that there was hope for the villain to rebuild their old relationship.

Yan Cheng grabbed her wrist and let go after a moment, "Go to sleep and don't worry about me."

"Oh..." Zhuang Wan fell asleep uneasily, turned her head to look at Yan Cheng, and saw that he was lying with his back to her, with no intention of talking to her.

It seems that repairing the friendship between her and Yan Cheng will not happen overnight.

Yan Cheng couldn't sleep at all. He remembered what he said to Pang Ao before leaving...

Yan Cheng: "Brother, do you have a woman you like?"

Pang Ao smiled and said: "Of course! Don't you all think that I am a monk? Liugan Jingjing? If I hadn't gone with the prince on the expedition and left for three years, I'm afraid she and I would have gotten married and had children. Now she is married

Being a wife with two children, I think I will live a very happy life, at least it is better than following me. Brothers, we don’t deserve wives and children, who would marry their daughter to people like us who are constantly fighting outside and whose life or death is unpredictable."

Maybe...he really isn't worthy of Zhuang Wan.

Yan Cheng turned around and found Zhuang Wan already asleep.

He pulled up the quilt for her and raised his hand to touch her cheek. After holding it up for a long time, he finally put it down...

What else could he ask for now? As long as she could live and be peaceful and happy for the rest of her life, that would be enough.

Xiao Jingchen woke up at night, looked at Mu Qiulan sleeping on the ground and coughed twice: "I am thirsty!"

Mu Qiulan opened her eyes when she heard the voice and quickly stood up to pour him some water.

Xiao Jingchen finished drinking the water and said, "I'm feeling hot."

Mu Qiulan immediately picked up the fan to cool him down.

"What's the point of standing so far away and fanning yourself?"

Mu Qiulan quickly came closer.
