Ye Shunan signaled Sikong Zhanbai to put him down, but Sikong Zhanbai ignored him.
Ye Shunan had no choice but to let him go.
"Did you see those bandits coming out?"
Sikong Zhanbai looked at Sui Yuxiu.
"No, my subordinates sent people to patrol the woods and didn't see anyone coming out of it."
If that's the case, those people should still be in the woods.
"You stay here and I'll take Miss Ye back first."
She was already exhausted today, so he sent her back to Qingchen Garden before rushing back.
"The city gate is closed at this time."
Ye Shunan whispered on Sikong Zhanbai's back.
"I have a token with me."
He wanted to enter the city, but how dare the soldiers guarding the city stop him?
Ye Shunan disagreed, "It's inappropriate for you to mobilize troops privately.
I'm afraid you've already angered the emperor.
Don't break the rules at this time and give others a clue.
Since the city gate is closed, it's okay to wait until tomorrow morning to return to the city.
It’s not too late.”
What’s more, the soldiers haven’t come out yet.
A smile seemed to flash at the corner of Sikong Zhanbai's mouth, and his tone was very soft, "Then let's wait until the city gate opens tomorrow before returning to the capital."
Ye Shunan taught Sui Yuxiu how to identify directions in the woods, and Sui Yuxiu led a group of remaining soldiers into the dark woods, hoping to evacuate everyone as soon as possible.
Sikong Zhanbai stayed outside to accompany Ye Shunan.
The third child consciously stepped aside to collect firewood and make a fire.
Ye Shunan secretly shook his head in amusement.
"Let me take a look at your feet."
Fortunately, Sui Yuxiu was a careful person, thinking that if someone was injured, he brought medicine with him when he came.
Speaking of this, Ye Shunan couldn't help but joked: "You are also a martial arts practitioner.
Shouldn't you always carry wound medicine with you?"
Sikong Zhanbai said calmly: "No need."
Ye Shunan chuckled, quite arrogant.
But the next second, she couldn't laugh anymore.
Sikong Zhanbai applied green ointment to her swollen ankle and began to rub it gently.
Although he tried to use less force, Ye Shunan still inhaled in pain.
"Be patient, you have to rub the congestion away."
Sikong Zhanbai said with a slight frown.
Ye Shunan endured the pain and looked at Sikong Zhanbai squatting there to rub her ankles.
Suddenly something flashed through her heart, and she was stunned there.
It wasn't until Sikong Zhanbai put on her shoes and socks that Ye Shunan came back to her senses. .
"What's wrong?"
Sikong Zhanbai looked at Ye Shunan's stunned look in confusion.
"I have a question for you."
Ye Shunan looked up at Sikong Zhanbai's face.
"What" "You" Ye Shunan suddenly lowered his head and looked at his toes, "Forget it, I won't ask."
"Why don't you ask again?"
Ye Shunan smiled bitterly, "Maybe I haven't thought about it yet."
Sikong Zhanbai didn't ask any questions and silently sat down next to Ye Shunan.

At some point, Ye Shunan fell asleep on his shoulder.
Sikong Zhanbai turned his head to look at her.
Her face had a hazy beauty against the background of the bonfire.
He couldn't help but reach out his hand to brush back the scattered black hair around her lips.
His fingertips brushed the side of her face, feeling warm and fragrant. .
He is not a stupid person.
He can probably guess what she is hesitating about.
She is not a person who likes plotting and planning, and she is not completely ruthless towards him.
Otherwise, her words just now would not be full of sympathy. concerns about one's own situation.
She always wanted to draw a clear line between her and him, probably because she didn't want to implicate herself because of her affair with Sikong Qianrong.
When he thought of this, Sikong Zhanbai felt happy in his heart.
This woman was very duplicitous, but she was the woman he fell in love with.
No matter how hard she tormented herself, she would have to suffer.
When Ye Shunan woke up, the sky was still gray, but there were many fires around and many soldiers were sitting together.
"Are you awake?"
Sikong Zhanbai turned his head and asked her, his voice was very soft, with some indulgence and doting.
This was the first time that he saw her just waking up.
Her clear eyes were watery, showing a bit of pure confusion, which was really cute.
Ye Shunan, who had just woken up, was always a little slow.
She slowly sat up straight, her voice was lazily like she had just woken up, "Is everyone out?"
Sikong Zhanbai stretched out his hand to straighten her long hair, his movements were so natural and casual, "Well, those bandits were also caught.
Also, your horse is back."
Ye Shunan, who was still in a daze, didn't notice anything wrong with Sikong Zhanbai's action, and just said: "Then let's go to the city gate first.
When we arrive, the city gate should be opened."
Sikong Zhanbai smiled gently, "Okay."
Originally, Ye Shunan wanted to ride her own horse, but Sikong Zhanbai refused because of her foot injury, so the two rode a horse together.
"After you return to Beijing, you must immediately go to the palace to apologize to the emperor.
If possible, you'd better hand over your military talisman to let the emperor see your sincerity.
No matter what happens, the emperor will not really take your military talisman back.
First of all, you have just won a great victory, and you are very popular among the people.
The prestige is very strong; secondly, he can't find a suitable successor for the time being.
Furthermore, the prestige of Prince Dan's palace is there.
For your father's sake, the emperor will not do anything to you.
However, he But I don’t know what I’m thinking, so it’s better to be careful in the future.”
Sikong Zhanbai held the reins with one hand and patted Ye Shunan's forehead with the other, "Okay, Miss Ye, I will handle these matters.
You don't have to worry about it.
Just rest your little head for now."
His tone was very affectionate, and Ye Shunan stopped talking.
The sun gradually rose, and the clouds in the distance were dyed with the color of the sun.
Sikong Zhanbai and his party were walking on the official road.
It was still early in the sky and there was no one except them.
But not long after leaving, a ragged monk suddenly appeared on the official road, holding a wooden staff in his right hand.
Seeing that his clothes were thin, Ye Shunan gave him his cloak.
The monk accepted it with a smile.
He just looked at Ye Shunan and said, "Donor, when it's time to make a decision, you should make a decision early, so as not to tire others and yourself."

Ye Shunan was startled, stunned for a moment and said: "But this matter is of great importance.
If something goes wrong, I will not be the only one who will suffer for the rest of his life."
"Everything must be done according to the heart.
The person who implements it has already made a decision in his heart, right?
The poor monk asked the donor, if today is the day when the donor dies, what regrets does the donor have?"
After the monk finished speaking, he walked forward and said loudly: "People are prone to misfortunes and blessings, so why should they think about the long term?"
Ye Shunan looked at the monk's back in the distance and thought about his words.
Yes, haven't I already made a decision in my heart?
If I really died in the hands of those bandits yesterday, what would be my most regrettable thing?
Ye Shunan looked back at the handsome and handsome man:
