1420 The Villagers

'I see.'

Nan Hua closed her eyes and then walked to her tent. Since that was the case, she would not interfere with the matter of the poison from Strategist Meng anymore. She just needed to help Long Qian Xing in settling the problems in Lin Family Mountain temporarily.

…

The rest of the night was quiet.

Long Qian Xing didn't send more soldiers while Yu Jin refused to ask her men to rush in the middle of the night to some unknown distance. She had no interest in making her men worked too hard and roamed in new territory like this.

And the villages were mostly empty.

The villagers were all already moved away to another village that was located quite a distance away from Lin Family Mountain. The people had to live in cramped location, but it was good enough to pass for a few days.

At least, until the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom settled what they had wanted to settle.

When it was morning, Shan Yu walked out of his temporary house and sighed with annoyance. Who would have thought that he would end up having so many things to do after promising to help his twelfth junior sister?

"You're a bit late waking up." Yu Zheng Xi looked at his third senior brother and arched his eyebrows. This third senior brother of his was late by an incense stick of time, which was quite unusual.

Shan Yu looked at Yu Zheng Xi and rolled his eyes. "What do you really expect from me to do? I'm tired from treating so many people at once, okay?"

Yu Zheng Xi didn't seem to care that much. "This can be regarded as your practice."

Practice?

If not because Shan Yu's martial arts were lower than his fifth junior brother, Shan Yu would have long wanted to smash a fist on Yu Zheng Xi's face. He felt that whoever wanted this practice can come forward.

He definitely didn't want it!

"What are you doing by staying here either way?" Shan Yu arched his eyebrows. "I thought that you're going to leave with Master to Eldest Senior Brother place."

"The border is not that peaceful and Master didn't want to stay there without having certainty that he could bypass the place without losing any pieces of his body." Yu Zheng Xi shrugged.

In any case, he just felt that it was troublesome. Since his master wanted to stay in Fan Yi Kingdom for a longer period of time, why not? That way, they didn't have to clash with the war that happened at the border of Zhang Xu Kingdom and Fan Yi Kingdom nor the war at the border of Fan Yi Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom.

These three kingdoms had been quite restless recently.

There were several small clashes here and there at the border. The few generals and commanders who were staying there wouldn't be able to calm down for the time being.

"Are you waiting for winter?" Shan Yu arched his eyebrows. "That way, Fan Yi Kingdom had no other choice but to pay more attention to their north where the barbarians tribes would come and goes."

Yu Zheng Xi shrugged. "That will depend on Eldest Senior Brother's thoughts. He will be the one to decide whether we can cross to Fan Yi Kingdom or not. Personally, I don't think Master is bothered to stay here at all."

Shan Yu blinked his eyes.

"What is it?"

"I'm not used to you being a bit more polite."

Yu Zheng Xi sneered. "After all, I used to have enough education for my speech and not like you who have none of that."

"Heh." Shan Yu snorted. "I'm grateful that I'm born this way and had no ties with many annoying people. At the very least, I don't have to worry about having people chasing after me when I do nothing."

Towards this, Yu Zheng Xi said nothing. He only snorted and pointed at the lines of the villagers nearby. "Time for you to work."

Shan Yu nearly cursed but he still walked towards the group of villagers who came today. He had to finish the task faster before people from Zhang Xu Kingdom came here and find trouble with him.

Anyway, it was not that hard.

The problem was simply the number was a bit too much. There were too many people who came to him to be treated.

It was tiring.

"All of you have pasts you don't want to mention again."

Yu Zheng Xi, who was leaning against the wall lazily, straightened his body. He looked at his Master and called out, "Master!"

Traveling Doctor Liu nodded at Yu Zheng Xi. He had woken up and accidentally listened to these two quarreling with each other. The two of them have completely different background but they were the two who stayed close with him the most, which was the main reason why they quarrel a lot.

Their worldviews were completely different.

If one was used to the trickery and schemes of the noble families, the other one was used to the simplicity and peace of the ordinary families. They were raised in a completely different environment and following Traveling Doctor Liu, Shan Yu rarely interacted with those who were very powerful aside from during when the other needed treatment.

"I know." Yu Zheng Xi pursed his lips. "When the matter of Lin Family is settled, are you going to take Second Senior Sister away, Master?"

Hearing Yu Zheng Xi switched the conversation arbitrarily, Traveling Doctor Liu arched his eyebrows. He knew that this disciple of his didn't want to talk about it. There were many things in his past that he definitely didn't want to mention.

As for his second disciple, Lin Xia…

Traveling Doctor Liu sighed. "That will depend on what she wants. If she wished to leave with me, I'll bring her with me. But if she didn't wish to follow me, there will be another place for her to stay."

Yu Zheng Xi nodded.
