Mistakenly Connected to the Jade Flower Branch

Yuan Feng stood next to him, holding onto the back of the chair. Nan Fei said, "Go to sleep first. I'll wake you up when the medicine is ready."

Yuan Feng said, "I'm not sleepy."

Nanfei looked up at her, while Yuan Feng gazed at the medicine furnace. Nanfei chuckled and pulled her onto his lap. Yuan Feng immediately wrapped her arms around his waist, nuzzling her head against his shoulder, completely content.

Nanfei said, "How old are you? Why do you still need to be carried?"

Yuan Fengyu said with a hint of coquettishness, "It's just a hug, we're not going to do anything... That's not what I meant... I meant... just a hug..."

Nan Fei stared at her, and Yuan Feng simply buried her face in his shoulder.

Where is there even a trace of the majestic general? Nan Fei smiled, took a purse from her waist, and popped a chestnut into his mouth.

The unique aroma of chestnuts filled the air, enticing Yuan Feng to turn her head: "Is it delicious?"

Nanfei popped one into her mouth: "It's delicious, you should have some too... Chestnuts nourish the kidneys, strengthen muscles and bones, and invigorate blood circulation..."

With a chestnut stuck in her throat, Yuan Feng coughed until tears streamed down her face.

Nanfei patted her back gently to help her catch her breath, and said very seriously, "I am a medical apprentice, I can't be wrong."

Yuan Fengqiang suppressed his rising restlessness and replied seriously, "I believe you."

Nanfei would eat one and then feed her another, until only one was left.

Yuan Feng took the jade pendant from his waist and played with it in her hand: "You eat it."

Nanfei asked, "This is half of the Tai Chi circle, what about the other half?"

Yuan Feng said, "This half is mine, and the other half is for Nan Hua."

Nanfei said, "Why are you giving it to her? You're marrying her."

Yuan Feng said, "Yes, I married her."

Nanfei frowned, and Yuan Feng smiled to comfort him: "On our wedding day, my father pinned it on us in front of everyone, saying something about flying wing to wing... Nanhua didn't return it to me, so I sent yours to you."

Nan Fei huffed, "Go back to Bianjing and ask her for it. She's the Crown Princess; what rare thing doesn't she have..."

Yuan Feng said softly, "Okay, we'll come back."

Nanfei popped the last chestnut into his mouth, crushed it, turned his head to kiss it, and then put the chestnut into her mouth.

Yuan Feng was so dazed by his kisses that she swallowed all the chestnuts.

Nanfei released her when he saw she couldn't breathe, and chuckled softly, "Let's eat together."

Yuan Feng's eyes were slightly moist, and she lightly licked her lips. Nan Fei, who was forcibly suppressing his restlessness, suddenly became aroused and untied her belt.

Yuan Feng struggled slightly: "...No..."

Nanfei pressed his forehead against hers and coaxed, "Just once, not too much... the medicine should be fine afterward..."

Yuan Feng clung to his neck: "Just once."

Nanfei picked her up and carried her to the bedside: "You have enough energy, you can get up tomorrow and come more often."

Nanfei placed her on the bed: "Does your back still hurt?"

Yuan Feng didn't understand: "What?"

As Nanfei loosened his belt, he asked, "Yesterday... the table was too hard... does your back still hurt...?"

Yuan Feng bit her lip: "It doesn't hurt. I often get injured on the battlefield, so this is nothing."

Nan Fei suppressed his anger: "I have a good medicine to heal old wounds. I'll give it to you slowly when we get back to Bianjing."

Yuan Feng reached out to cover an old wound on her chest, the one left from the arrow she took when defeating Batu: "Is it ugly?"

Nanfei moved her hand away and kissed the scar: "Ah Feng's record is quite impressive."

Nanfei was exceptionally talented, and this was no exception. In just a few days, she surpassed her teacher, leaving the teacher breathless.

Was this too long? Yuan Feng was still limp when Nan Fei brought the medicine over. After Nan Fei fed her the medicine, he picked up the belt from the ground and helped her put on her clothes.

Yuan Feng asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Nanfei hummed in agreement, picked her up and sat her on the edge of the bed to put on her shoes and socks, muttering to himself, "Indulgence leads to trouble."

Yuan Feng let him do as he pleased, completely unaware: "What's wrong? Where are we going?"

Nanfei helped her up, took her bundle, and said slowly, "The inn is on fire. We have to jump. Hold me."

Flames flickered at the window, but Nan Fei remained calm and composed. Yuan Feng rushed to the window and asked anxiously, "Where are the young master and the others?"

Nanfei said, "They should wait for us by the roadside."

Nanfei pulled Yuan Feng and kicked open the window, then kicked the medicine furnace out. Someone leaped over and cleaved the furnace in two. Nanfei, still holding Yuan Feng, flew out, lightly touched the treetops, and with a few leaps, landed on the main road.

Tiger Luo An and Nian Yao were waiting on their horses, with two empty horses beside them. Nan Fei helped Yuan Feng Fei onto the horse, and with a flick of the reins, the group galloped forward.

They had only traveled ten miles from Xiting County when their horse suddenly tripped over something and fell forward, groaning on the ground. As soon as they landed, masked men in black rushed out of the woods and surrounded them.

Tiger threw a spear to Yuan Feng: "General Yuan, are you up for a fight?"

Yuan Feng accepted it deftly and asked coldly, "Who goes there?"

The voice that answered was also a woman's: "General Yuan, since you have taken the initiative to form an alliance with Nan Yue, we have no choice but to send you on your way."

Nanfei asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

Yuan Feng shook her head: "Not familiar with them."

Tiger said, "Who cares if we're familiar with them or not, just kill them all."

Hu Zi, holding a knife, Yuan Feng, holding a gun, and Nian Yao, holding a sword, formed a triangle to defend against the enemy, surrounding Nan Fei and Luo An in the middle.

Nanfei looked up at the sky and saw a crescent moon, exceptionally bright.

Nanfei sighed, "Young Master, we were planning to rush back to Bianjing for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but now it seems unlikely."

Luo An said, "To die beneath the peony blossoms is to be a romantic ghost."

What kind of tone was that? So sour and bitter? Nan Fei sized him up: "Young master, are you sexually frustrated?"

Luo An remained expressionless, but his tone betrayed his annoyance at being exposed: "With a formidable enemy at hand, Young Master Nan is truly composed."

"You guessed right?" Nan Fei replied modestly, "You flatter me, sir."

Luo An: "..."

Nanfei thought for a moment: "Really? Madam won't allow it?"

Luo An: "...Young Master Nan, they're after your wife."

There were three groups of people in total. The first group was engaged in a chaotic battle, while the other two groups stood on the left and right.

Nanfei said, "They plan to attack in batches, using a war of attrition to wear us down... Wait, the Mandarin Duck Formation?"

Luo An asked, "What Mandarin Duck Formation?"

Nanfei said, "The army often uses the Mandarin Duck Formation. This is a variation of the formation. The captain commands, the middle is the main attacker, the outside is the auxiliary attacker, and the rear is the defender."

As soon as the whistle blew, the first group rushed towards Yuan Feng. Hu Zi and Nian Yao tried to rescue her, but the two groups that had been standing still surrounded them. The enemy moved with precision, and they were outnumbered.

Nanfei thought to himself, "Oh no."

Nianyao called out, "Luo An..."

These two idiots still have time to chat? Can't they see they're about to die?

Nianyao's martial arts skills were inferior to Huzi's, and her actual combat skills were inferior to Yuan Feng's. Fortunately, the group that surrounded her did not attack with ruthlessness, and the captain intentionally or unintentionally avoided and neutralized their attacks, so Nianyao was able to hold on despite her efforts.

Nan Fei glanced at the captain and lowered his voice, "Bei Rou hasn't made a move, but Xi Ling is panicking first. Young Master, can you kill someone?"

Luo An also asked in a low voice, "How do we kill them?"

Nanfei said, "We are in the middle of the three formations. You use silver needles to seal the vital points of the people in the closest circle, and I will try to take their heads in one move to break the formation."

Luo An reached into his pocket for a handful of silver needles, while Nan Fei reached for the soft sword at his waist. The two looked at each other and nodded.
