Yu Wan shook their clasped hands. ‘Yan Jiuchao, where do you want to go after the war?”

“I don’t want to go anywhere,” Yan Jiuchao said.

Yu Wan pursed her lips. “I want to go.”

“Where are we going?” Yan Jiuchao asked.

“Hm…” Yu Wan looked in the southeast direction.” Let’s go to Yan City first and see the place you lived when you were young.”

“Okay.”

I’ll take you.

“Then, we’ll go to Xiongnu. I heard from Princess Consort Cheng that the grassland there is very big, bigger than all the grassland in the Central Plains combined.’

“Okay.”

I’ll take you.

‘Where else do you want to go?” Yan Jiuchao asked.

Yu Wan looked up and thought for a while. “I still want to go to the Gobi. I heard that the sunset there is very beautiful.”

“Okay,” Yan Jiuchao agreed.

Yu Wan suddenly smiled and stopped in her tracks. She looked at him without blinking. “We’ll really win this battle, right?”

Yan Jiuchao tucked the hair at her temples behind her ear. “Yes, I promise you.”

The two of them stared at each other affectionately. Not far away, someone was quietly watching this scene. Yan Jiuchao didn’t even look at that person, he just looked at Yu Wan. “He hasn’t given up yet. If I had known earlier, you wouldn’t have saved him in Prefecture Xu.”

Yu Wan looked in Yan Huaijing’s direction and shook her head helplessly. “I wasn’t the one who saved him back then. He recognized the wrong person.”

Yan Jiuchao looked at Yu Wan strangely. That was not what he found out. Yu Wan lowered her eyes and played with his hand. “Yan Jiuchao, after the war is over, I’ll tell you a secret.”

“What secret?” Yan Jiuchao said.

“My background, ” Yu Wan said.

Yan Jiuchao looked at her deeply. “Okay.”

The flames of war were burning, and such warmth was rare. The two of them held hands and took a walk for a while before returning to their posts. Yu Wan had injured people to treat, and Yan Jiuchao had a battle plan to deploy.

Yan Jiuchao was doing sand table deductions with Xiao Zhenting and a few generals in the army. Yan Jiuchao had given everyone a thunderous blow today. Who would have thought that the useless little lunatic of the past could actually transform into an existence that could keep the Paragon in check?

To be honest, they still felt that everything was not real, but when they pinched themselves, it really hurt!

Suddenly, Xiao Zhenting thought of something and slapped his thigh. “Aiya!

You’re not in the Capital anymore. Will anything happen to the Young Master

Manor and Ah Yan?”

The generals’ hearts trembled. That’s right, the Regent was no longer in the Capital. The Asura Army was also brought to the front line. Would the Young Master Manor really be isolated and helpless?

What if, they were saying, what if the saints sent experts to infiltrate the capital and control the Young Master Manor?

The Regent’s biological father, biological sons, biological daughter, and the Crown Princess Consort of Great Zhou were all still in the Young Master Manor!

Everyone’s worries were not without reason. It was true that the Sacred Clan’s army was stationed in Yu City, but it was hard to guarantee that their experts would also obediently guard this place.

In fact, on the first night Yan Jiuchao fought with the saint army, a team of experts from the saints had indeed charged into the Young Master Manor.

In terms of realm, they were inferior to the Paragon, but every one of them was a well-trained assassin. They only had one goal—to massacre the Young Master Manor and snatch back the Holy Soul Pearl!

The Holy Soul Pearl was in Yan Xiaosi’s hand. Yan Xiaosi’s favorite toys were a mirror and this bead. She held it to sleep every night.

The Holy Soul Pearl could increase the strength of the saints. With it, the saint army would become even more invincible.

This group of experts easily infiltrated the Young Master Manor and dealt with all the guards who blocked them. When the wet nurse heard the sound of fighting, she hurriedly pounced on the cradle, intending to carry Yan Xiaosi out, but she was knocked out by an assassin from the Sacred Clan.

The assassin saw the sleeping baby in her swaddling clothes. She was holding the treasure of their Sacred Clan. The assassin tried to snatch it with his bare hands, but a small black shadow suddenly flew over from nowhere and sent him flying like a small cannon.

The assassins in the courtyard immediately became vigilant. They drew their swords and rushed into the house. Unexpectedly, another shadow flashed over as fast as lightning. That person’s movement technique was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye.

That person’s realm was clearly inferior to theirs, but his movement technique was too fast. He was like a ghost as he flashed between them. By the time they reacted, half of the assassins had already fallen.

They all died from a sword to their throats.

Of course, there were still assassins who entered the room through the window, but they were all knocked out by the small cannon..
