The two people in the room talked about some irrelevant things.

He had no idea when Shen Zhiyi showed up outside the door.

Shen Zhiyi stood outside the door with his fists clenched. His usually dignified and gentle face could not hide his anger.

That's right, she asked Bai Zhiyuan to boil the medicine, of course, she had her own selfish motives. It's not that there was really no one boiling medicine in the military camp. It's just that she saw Bai Zhiyuan staying in Xie Yunsong's tent every day with various excuses, but Xie Yunsong didn't seem to mind it.

She suddenly felt a crisis in her heart, so she came up with this plan. There were many people who were sick in the military camp recently, and Bai Zhiyuan really had nothing to do. As long as she agreed to boil the medicine, she could naturally be delayed so that she would have no time and energy to look for Xie Yunsong.

After a long time, perhaps Xie Yunsong would forget about her.

But Shen Zhiyi didn't expect that Xie Yunsong would come here in person tonight.

Listening to the two people chatting passionately inside, Shen Zhiyi felt heartbroken.

Seeing that it was getting late, she was going to tell Bai Zhiyuan to go back and rest early. However, as soon as she arrived, she saw Xie Yunsong wandering outside the door, and finally walked in.

Shen Zhiyi listened to the bursts of laughter coming from the room, and felt extremely bitter in his heart.

Xie Yunsong, is Bai Zhiyuan really that good?

For a long while, no voices could be heard in the room.

Xie Yunsong picked up the stove, but turned his head to find that Bai Zhiyuan had fallen asleep. She must be really tired, and she was frowning slightly when she fell asleep, which made people want to stretch her. However, just when he was about to touch Bai Zhiyuan's face, he stopped, paused, and gently stroked her cheek with his big hand. Bai Zhiyuan seemed to feel it and frowned. Xie Yunsong suddenly woke up and immediately retracted his hand.

Xie Yunsong paused for a moment, bent down, and picked up Bai Zhiyuan.

He strode out of the house, but saw Shen Zhiyi standing outside.

Xie Yunsong glanced at her and said coldly, "Miss Shen has been standing outside the door for a long time. What does she want to hear?"

Shen Zhiyi was shocked and bit her lip, unable to speak.

Xie Yunsong stopped looking at her and continued to walk out holding Bai Zhiyuan. He heard Shen Zhiyi angrily say behind him: "Is she so good? Are you really in love with Bai Zhiyuan?"

Xie Yunsong paused and said coldly, "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. From tomorrow on, she will no longer come to make medicine. If you still want to stay in the North, don't provoke her."

After saying that, he strode out.

Shen Zhiyi was left in tears and at a loss.

Xie Yunsong walked all the way back to the tent and met many soldiers who were still awake. When they saw Xie Yunsong holding Bai Zhiyuan, they were shocked but did not dare to look up.

Xie Yunsong was very tall, and Bai Zhiyuan was very thin, so it was easy for him to pick her up. He carried Bai Zhiyuan all the way into her tent.

Tianxun was guarding in front of the tent. He was surprised to see this and wanted to come up to help, but Xie Yunsong shook his head at him.

Xie Yunsong entered the tent, placed Bai Zhiyuan on the couch, then half-knelt on the ground, leaning against the head of the bed, and covered her with the quilt.

The moonlight was hazy, and moonlight drifted in through the window of the tent.

Through the hazy moonlight, the boy looked down at the girl sleeping on the bed, his eyes gradually becoming deep.

After a long time, he stood up, paused, closed the door, and walked out.

……

The next day, the sun shone on Bai Zhiyuan's face. She stretched out her hand to block the glaring sunlight and slowly opened her eyes.

"When did I fall asleep? How did I come back?" Bai Zhiyuan said to himself.

Then she thought of something, hurriedly got out of bed, put on her clothes, and walked out. She walked all the way to the pharmacy. She almost forgot that she had to continue boiling medicine today.

When she walked to the pharmacy, she saw Shen Zhiyi sitting aside preparing medicine, while the servant beside Shen Zhiyi was already boiling the medicine.

Bai Zhiyuan said embarrassedly: "Sister Shen, I'm late."

Shen Zhiyi swept his icy gaze over her and said coldly, "From today on, you don't have to come. Everyone in the army has almost recovered."

Bai Zhiyuan didn't understand why, but he was secretly happy in his heart, because he finally didn't have to boil any medicine anymore.

It's not that she didn't notice Shen Zhiyi's cold eyes, but Shen Zhiyi, like Xie Yunsong, had changeable emotions, so Bai Zhiyuan didn't take it to heart.

Hearing this, she smiled and said, "That's fine. I'll leave first."

"Wait." Shen Zhiyi called her and stared at her face thoughtfully. After a moment, she slowly said, "Ayuan, I have to go up the mountain to collect herbs in a while, and my servant will stay here to continue to look after the herbs. If you have nothing to do, can you go with me?"

Bai Zhiyuan was stunned and felt a strange feeling in his heart.

She looked at Shen Zhiyi steadily, subconsciously wanting to refuse, but before she could say anything, Shen Zhiyi said, "If Ah Yuan doesn't want to go, that's fine. Then please look at the herbs again today, and I'll take my servant to collect herbs."

When Bai Zhiyuan heard this, she suddenly felt a headache. She looked at the weather outside. The sky was clear in the morning, but now it had become gloomy.

Bai Zhiyuan said, "Sister Shen, the weather is bad today, so it's not a good time to go up the mountain. Besides, General Xie said before that we are not familiar with the terrain on the mountain, so he won't let us go up the mountain rashly."

Shen Zhiyi insisted, "Ayuan, what are you afraid of? You are a martial arts expert, and who says you are not familiar with the terrain of the mountain? I am very familiar with the mountains here, and I often go up the mountain to collect herbs. Besides, some sick recruits really can't wait until tomorrow to collect herbs."

Bai Zhiyuan asked suspiciously, "Didn't they say that the new soldiers are all well again? And didn't we bring a lot of herbs when we came from Shangjing?"

Shen Zhiyi replied: "Yes, there are some herbs, but some weak people have not recovered yet, so I thought of collecting more herbs."

Bai Zhiyuan: "But..."

"No buts. Are you going or not?" Shen Zhiyi interrupted coldly.

Bai Zhiyuan sighed slightly and said helplessly: "Okay, then I'll go with you. But I'll let General Xie know first, in case he can't find us and gets anxious."

Shen Zhiyi had already walked out. Hearing this, she said coldly, "No need. I'll send someone to tell him. Didn't you say the weather is bad? Let's leave as soon as possible and don't delay."

Seeing this, Bai Zhiyuan had no choice but to follow.

The two walked all the way to the gate of the military camp. The gatekeeper was quite surprised to see them and asked, "County Lady, Doctor Shen, where are you going?"

Without waiting for Bai Zhiyuan to answer, Shen Zhiyi hurriedly said, "Let's go up the mountain to collect herbs."

The guards at the gate had no suspicion of anything. Doctor Shen would go to the mountains to collect herbs every few days, and the Princess of Rong'an would sometimes sneak out.

Therefore, the gatekeeper let the two go without asking any more questions.

Bai Zhiyuan felt even more strange. She observed Shen Zhiyi calmly, but she didn't see any clues on Shen Zhiyi's face. She thought to herself that she was too suspicious. This was not Shangjing, and Shen Zhiyi was not Jiang Muyun.

This mountain in the north is called Wanxiang Mountain. I heard from Cheng Tiankuo that there are many wild beasts here. Many years ago, hunters saw many wild elephants on this mountain, so they named it Wanxiang Mountain.

After she came to the northern border, perhaps because she was afraid that wild animals would break into the camp and hurt people, she once saw Xie Yunsong sending people to patrol Wanxiang Mountain.

As Bai Zhiyuan walked, he thought to himself, I didn't expect Shen Zhiyi, who looked so weak, to be so bold as to come here to collect herbs.

The road to Vientiane Mountain is rugged, but the scenery is quite beautiful. The weather is gloomy at this moment, and the mountain is even more foggy. The fog is lingering, like a fairyland.

Bai Zhiyuan and Shen Zhiyi walked all the way up the mountain. It was her first time to go up the mountain, so Bai Zhiyuan was still cautious. She picked up a stone while Shen Zhiyi was not paying attention. Every time she arrived at a place, she drew a few strokes on the tree to mark it, so as not to get lost and not know the way down the mountain.

The two walked for about an hour, and after noon, they finally reached the top.

There was a clear stream on the top of the mountain. The two rested for a while by the stream, and then Shen Zhiyi began to pick herbs nearby.

Perhaps knowing that Bai Zhiyuan didn't know the herbs, Shen Zhiyi didn't ask her for help. She looked around and then at the ground. Perhaps it had rained a few days ago, so she didn't see any traces of wild animals.

Bai Zhiyuan looked around for a while, then sat on a big rock beside him with his sword in hand, quietly watching Shen Zhiyi picking herbs.
