At this time, there was a noise outside.

Xie Lian thought it was Yan Kuan who came back, so he hurried out.

A soldier with a scratch on his forehead knelt down and saluted when he saw the Prime Minister:

"Prime Minister, due to the heavy rain a few days ago, a landslide occurred in the mountain. My brothers and I were almost buried alive. Thanks to the deputy general's bravery, he rescued us, but he is missing."

The soldier choked up as he spoke.

The several injured soldiers who were being supported at the back also knelt on the ground with sorrow on their faces.

The most seriously injured soldier on the stretcher rolled over and cried bitterly on the ground, apologizing to Xie Lian:

"It's all because of me. The deputy general didn't want to give up saving me, so he was buried. I deserve to die."

Xie Lian's eyes were bloodshot, his hands and feet were cold, and he was about to lead his men into the mountains.

Wei Ran was so scared that he hurriedly tried to stop him: "No, Prime Minister. The soil in the mountains is soft after the rain and it is very likely to collapse again. Besides, when General Yan left, he asked me to be careful of your safety. Prime Minister, you must not take risks. Just go down."

Xie Lian was stunned when he heard this, and his heart was in a state of panic.

After a while, he still insisted on going into the mountains to search for Yan Kuan's whereabouts.

Wei Ran had no choice but to select a team of people to follow behind.

After digging for nearly an entire afternoon and finding nothing, Xie Lian's face turned pale. Seeing that it was getting dark, Wei Ran had to speak up: "There are many wild animals in the mountains at night, and the road conditions are unknown. It's really dangerous. Let's go down the mountain."

"No"

The dense forest was full of shadows. The light and shadows cast on Xie Lian’s face, making his eyes look even more terrifying. His voice was even colder than before:

"Keep looking until you find him."

Wei Ran had never seen the Prime Minister like this before, and immediately knelt down in fear: "Yes, I will obey your orders."

A group of people lit torches and continued to dig at the burial site. Xie Lian had not eaten for a day, and Jia Shan was panicking. One of his feet sank into the soft soil and he fell down. The soil above covered him in an instant. Before darkness came, he could still hear Wei Ran's roar!

When Xie Lian woke up again, he found himself in a cave where it was pitch dark.

He moved and found that he didn't feel any pain. How could it be that he didn't get hurt after falling from such a high place?

Just as he was about to get up and walk towards the light at the entrance of the cave, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew by his ears, and a strange and terrifying voice rang in his ears: "Don't move, I am a ghost..."

Snapped……

A crisp sound.

The faint light of the tinder lit up, Yan Kuan covered his left face with one hand in disbelief, and looked at Xie Lian with grievance.

"It's you, you're not dead"

Xie Lian was pleasantly surprised to see that the person in front of him was none other than Yan Kuan, who had been missing for a few days.

Yan Kuan covered his face and hissed, "Is this how you treat your lifesaver? Don't you know you shouldn't hit someone in the face?"

After saying that, he grabbed a handful of dry grass and lit it with a tinder. The cave instantly became bright. Yan Kuan threw in a few wooden sticks, and a warm feeling came over.

After a long while, Xie Lian didn't speak. He turned his head and saw that his prime minister, who was always wise and calm, had tears in his eyes and was looking at him with complicated eyes.

Yan Kuan's heart tightened, and he quickly checked his whole body again, even touching the bones of his ankles: "It's okay, where does it hurt?"

Xie Lian still didn’t say anything. Yan Kuan came closer to him and smiled brightly:

"What? Are you really scared? I, I just wanted to tease you. It's my fault. Okay? Didn't you fight back?"

He also regretted it. Xie Lian was a civil servant, how could he compare with these rough warriors? He must have been very scared after falling down, and he was still scared by him.

"I apologize, okay?"

Xie Lian was feeling very complicated at the moment. Seeing that he was still joking with him right in front of him, he finally felt relieved. However, he really wanted to give this bastard a good beating.

"Get out!" Looking at him really made me angry.

Xie Lian didn’t want to pay attention to him and wanted to go over to warm himself by the fire. He accidentally used the light to see Yan Kuan’s chest, which was covered in blood.

She looked up at him in panic and asked, "Didn't you say you weren't injured? Where did this arrow wound come from?"

"What kind of arrow wound? It was clearly an arrow that was used to hold you back from falling, Prime Minister. You were pierced by the tree roots in the soil."

Yan Kuan spoke nonchalantly, as if it didn't hurt at all.

He sprained his ankle when he fell. He was about to climb up, but someone fell from above and took him down with him.

Xie Lian glanced at the scratches on Yan Kuan’s face, and the several holes in his clothes, all of which were scratched, while he himself only had some dirt on his body.

What was there that he didn't understand at the moment? It must be that this idiot had covered himself in his arms, shielding himself from all the harm from the outside.

Xie Lian looked at Yan Kuan with sparkling eyes, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.

"You, why are you crying?"

Yan Kuan was shocked and stammered, "I'm just kidding. I was just injured before. It has nothing to do with you. Don't think too much."

As she said this, she wanted to wipe his tears with her hand, but her hand was covered in mud, so she pulled it back.

Xie Lian held his hand, his eyes red as he said, “Nonsense, you were obviously trying to save me.”

Yan Kuan saw that Xie Lian's eyes were as red as a rabbit's, his face was not as smooth and clean as before, and there was dirt on his hair.

For some reason, my heart softened.

"If you dare to act on your own and disobey orders again, I will demote you to a military camp to feed horses."

Yan Kuan became anxious when he heard this, and let out a hissing sound, pulling the wound.

Xie Lian quickly held him down and unbuttoned his armor and shirt.

When I saw the bloody hole made by the branch, my eyes became even redder.

"Hey, don't cry, I'm fine, it doesn't hurt at all"

Xie Lian ignored him, took out the handkerchief from his arms, and carefully scraped off the dirt. Seeing the blood flowing down, he was at a loss.

Seeing this, Yan Kuan hurriedly comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay, just bandage it and the bleeding will stop in a while."

Xie Lian tried his best to control his trembling hands as he bandaged Yan Kuan’s wound. When he was tying his clothes, a jade pendant fell out from his clothes.

Xie Lian picked it up and looked at the jade pendant in his hand in shock. He opened it and read it carefully twice, his eyes gradually becoming tearful.

Looking at Yan Kuan: "How did you get this jade pendant?"

Yan Kuan shook his arm slightly and cast his eyes on the jade pendant: "Oh, a child gave it to me."

"What kid? Explain clearly."

Seeing Xie Lian’s question with suspicion, Yan Kuan didn’t think much about it and just said:

"Many years ago, when I was practicing in the mountains, I saw a group of people bullying a child. I couldn't bear it, so I taught them a lesson. The child was grateful to me and insisted on giving me the pills, and then ran away."

"Why, do you know the owner of the jade pendant?"

Xie Lian could no longer contain his excitement and looked at Yan Kuan with burning eyes.

It's not as simple as he said...

Many years ago, when I heard that my father and brother were in trouble, I didn't want to stay in my hometown any longer and went to Beijing alone. I was targeted by a few gangsters who wanted to do something bad to me.

Fortunately, a young man passed by, his face covered with dirty mud, as if he had just come out of a mud puddle, and he beat those people away in a few moves.

He was extremely grateful, gave him the family jade pendant, and hurried to Beijing.

It turned out that the young man was the enemy in front of him.
