It was getting dark outside and snowflakes were flying in the air.

The cave was silent. Yan Longyi looked calm, but a storm was brewing in his heart.

Yan Longyi didn't say anything. When he turned around, he saw the injuries on Si Yan's body.

"Miss Si, your wounds haven't been treated yet..."

She was so busy treating his wounds that she didn't even take care of her own injuries.

"I'll go pick some herbs." Si Yan stood up.

Yan Longyi then realized that both packets of gold wound medicine had been used up.

"Let me go. I know some herbs that can stop bleeding."

Yan Longyi forced himself to stand up, but Si Yan held his shoulders.

"Sit down! How are you going to move with such a big hole in your leg?"

After saying that, Si Yan strode out.

Yan Longyi stared blankly at the woman's departing back, feeling as if something had stabbed his heart.

Yan Longyi slowly closed his eyes and leaned against the stone to rest. After a while, the sound of rustling leaves came from outside.

Yan Longyi suddenly opened his eyes and found his men coming.

Yan Longyi picked up a stone on the ground and threw it out of the cave. Soon, a dark shadow came in.

"Your Majesty."

"What's going on outside?" Yan Longyi looked at the black shadow.

The shadow said respectfully, "The people below the mountain are searching everywhere for the prince and a woman. Liang Junshan has ordered a hundred thousand troops to be dispatched from Beiyan Pass, vowing to capture the prince."

Yan Longyi didn't say anything.

It seems that Liang Junshan cares a lot about his life.

Yun Li looked worried. "I heard from the soldiers of Beimang that you were struck by a wolf poison arrow. Is that true?"

After completing the mission, Yun Li followed the marks left by the prince all the way here, but he didn't expect to hear that the prince was hit by a wolf poison arrow from the Beimang Kingdom.

"Yes." Yan Longyi responded.

"I will definitely get the antidote for the prince." Yun Li bit his lips and clenched his fists.

Yan Longyi said calmly, "Don't act rashly. I can still hold on for a few more days."

"Yes." Yun Li nodded.

"Stay back first!"

Yunli: ...

"Immediately!" Yan Longyi gave the order with a serious expression.

Yun Li hurriedly left the cave and hid in a bush.

Just then, a petite figure slowly walked into the cave.

Yun Li couldn't help but feel surprised. Is this the woman that the Beimang soldiers mentioned was with the prince?

Si Yan picked some herbs and brought back two buckets of water with a bamboo tube, and picked some wild persimmons and golden hook pears.

Yan Longyi looked up and saw that Si Yan's clothes had been washed.

Her hair was wet, the dirt on it gone, her long hair casually thrown back, revealing a porcelain-white face.

The girl had a cold expression, her black eyes were deep and bright, and there were two scratches on her face, but it did not affect her beauty at all.

Yan Longyi could hardly imagine how such a petite woman could have the courage to rush out from the pile of dead bodies to save him?

How did they carry him into this cave?

Si Yan handed the bamboo tube to Yan Longyi: "King Yan, have a drink of water."

Yan Longyi reached out to take it: "Thank you, Miss Si."

"Prince Yan is welcome."

Yan Longyi finished drinking the water and looked at the herbs Si Yan had gathered. "Miss Si, do you want to apply some medicine?"

"I've already gone through that. These herbs are for you."

Yan Longyi couldn't help but pause slightly. Did she apply the medicine herself?

Si Yan sat casually on a rock, closed his eyes and rested, and Yan Longyi stopped talking.

There was a hush in the air.

A quarter of an hour later, Si Yan opened his eyes.

"The Prince of Yan's expedition this time was nearly successful. If he returns like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain to the Emperor of Yan and the Queen Mother of Yan, nor will I be able to explain to the people of Yan."

Si Yan still hasn't given up persuading Yan Longyi.

Yan Longyi's eyes darkened slightly. He could almost imagine how disappointed everyone in Yan would be with him, from the Queen Mother and His Majesty to the civil and military officials and even the common people of Yan.

In their eyes, the King of Yan, who had always been invincible, suffered heavy losses this time and returned in defeat.

Although he had preserved the main force of the Yan army, the Beimang Kingdom was ambitious and might annex the Yan State at any time.

Si Yan said softly, "If the King of Yan is willing to give Daxuan another chance, Yan and Daxuan can once again join forces to destroy Beimang's army of 200,000, so that Beimang will not dare to invade the two countries again for several years."

Yan Longyi listened quietly without saying a word.

Si Yan also fell silent.

After a while, Yan Longyi said calmly: "Miss Si, let's leave here first."

"Leaving here is easy." Si Yan's expression was cold, his tone as cold as ice, "But if we want to repel the Beimang Kingdom, we need the cooperation of the two countries."

Si Yan looked at Yan Longyi with a cold and sharp gaze, and an oppressive aura emanated from him.

"The King of Yan actually has no choice. No matter what, Yan State cannot avoid cooperating with Daxuan. Without Daxuan, Yan State is simply unable to resist Beimang State."

Si Yan looked at the man in front of him and said solemnly, "King Yan had better think carefully. Give Yan and Daxuan a chance, and give me a chance too. I will definitely convince King Yong to launch a surprise attack and defeat Beimang."

"Prince Yong will not send troops." Prince Yan's expression turned cold.

"Yes." Si Yan said firmly.

"Miss Si, do you trust Prince Yong so much?" Yan Longyi's eyes suddenly became sharp, his eyes were full of sharpness, and his face became gloomy.
