It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 365

Changning Prefecture is very large. Although the troops were divided into two groups, Jiang Yan and the other two rushed through the five counties they were assigned to, and more than half a month had passed.

When he returned to Changning Prefecture, Guard Thirteen saw Jiang Yan, who had become much darker and thinner, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

Chunying and Tianjiu also got a lot darker, but they were thin to begin with, and even if they lost more weight, they wouldn't be as contrasting and shocking as Jiang Yan, whose cheeks had lost all their soft flesh and even had slight indentations.

Thirteen couldn't help but take a few more glances.

After letting them go back to the house to rest, Shisan motioned Chunying to walk to the side with him and whispered, "Jiang Yan is in such a state, is her health still okay? Why not let her go back to Heding Mansion..."

Thirteen hadn't thought about this for a long time. Taking Jiang Yan out was a hassle, but she wasn't a burden, and she was always there for him when it mattered most. He quickly got used to her.

But now, he didn't want to be the first person to cause his men to lose their lives in vain due to harsh exploitation.

Chunying thought for a moment and asked, "Can your people take her back to Rongcheng County? Or send someone to accompany her back? Tian Jiu and I have a mission and can't get away for the time being. If she goes alone, it's better not to go back."

"Let me ask." Thirteen was not quite clear about what Chunying said.

Chunying was speechless. She simply declined, "Forget it, Jiang Yan's body is not as fragile as you think."

Chunying spoke the truth without any falsehood.

During this trip, the three of them spent most of their time in the wilderness, exposed to wind, sun and rain. Coupled with the tight schedule and constant travel, Chunying and Tianjiu could hardly bear it in the later stages, not to mention Jiang Yan, who looked listless and pale.

But every time she felt that Jiang Yan could not hold on any longer and was about to collapse, Jiang Yan was able to hold on to the end, and after resting for a few hours, he recovered most of his blood.

"Recovering blood" is how Jiang Yan summed up her situation. After this "forced march," she, like the other two, gained a profound understanding of the tenacity of her own life, and she would often lament that she bore the "Zhang Lang destiny."

"What does it mean, Zhang Lang?" Thirteen was puzzled by the strange fate mentioned by Chunying.

A long time ago, when the old emperor was still alive, he was fond of superstitions for a while. Adhering to the principle of knowing yourself and your enemy, Master An specially found an old Taoist priest to teach him fortune-telling based on the eight characters.

He was also caught and listened for a few days. Although his mind was a mess and he didn't learn anything, he still remembered things like the Seven Killings Pattern, Partial Wealth Pattern, Transformation Pattern, Flame Pattern, Owl God Pattern, etc., except for the "Zhang Lang Pattern" which he had no impression of.

"Zhang Lang, it's a cockroach." Chunying saw Thirteen's face twisted as she wished, and she was satisfied. She said that normal people would never want to be associated with cockroaches, except for Jiang Yan, who seemed to have no taboos.

Thirteen wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Chunying pretended not to see anything, said goodbye to him and went back to her residence.

Jiang Yan did not go back to the house to rest. She asked Tian Jiu to help her turn over the flat yellow mud ground in front of the house and then sow the newly found vegetable seeds.

"Why are you so anxious to plant it? We might not be able to wait for the redroot vegetables to grow and then leave."

Jiang Yan didn't even look up when he heard Chunying's voice, but answered excitedly: "It doesn't matter, I just sowed a few seeds to try, and when they sprout, I'll plant them in a wooden bowl so I can take them with me."
