"You're allowed to treat my brother, but I want to stay by his side," Cyan Flame said immediately.
Looking at the soldier who was missing his entire right arm and had his left thigh wrapped in thick white bandages, Xu Qiubai nodded and replied, "Alright, you can come along as a witness."
Thus, Qin Zhi Han and Cyan Flame ended up in a separate tent, receiving specialized care from the medical staff. Xu Qiubai was generous with the medications and prioritized food supplies for them. Although Qin Zhi Han had recovered significantly after such a long period of rest due to overexertion of his abilities, the real reason he had not awakened was that he had fainted from hunger. Cyan Flame never consumed human food and was unaware of how much humans needed to eat. With his cultivation level, he could go without food for ten or fifteen days without issue, but he forgot that humans did not possess such resilience. While living among the injured soldiers, he avoided drawing attention to himself by taking little food and eating even less. He would occasionally feed Qin Zhi Han, but it was often inconsistent; if this continued, it could cost him his life. Now that there were dedicated personnel to care for and feed him, Qin Zhi Han finally regained consciousness.
"You've finally woken up," Cyan Flame exclaimed joyfully, quickly recounting the events leading up to this moment to prevent Qin Zhi Han from discovering any inconsistencies.
Qin Zhi Han was astonished; he never expected things to turn out this way. Not only was he in Zhang Yu's stronghold, but he also owed him a favor. His feelings were quite complex; although Zhang Yu had shown him considerable leniency, their differing political views meant they could not become good friends.
"Just as I was thinking about you, here you are." Zhang Yu visited Qin Zhi Han's tent for the first time upon hearing the news of his awakening and entered to offer his condolences.
Seeing Zhang Yu's concerned gaze, Qin Zhi Han slightly turned his face away despite knowing he was currently under a disguise. He sincerely said, "Thank you, Young Commander, for saving me."
"You're welcome. I see you're recovering well. How about it? Are you interested in becoming my bodyguard?" Zhang Yu smiled at Qin Zhi Han. Although there was an element of showmanship involved, it was also a signal—no one was more suitable than him.
Qin Zhi Han made an effort to mimic an overly surprised soldier. He looked up at Zhang Yu and said eagerly yet humbly, "Young Commander, can I really? This promotion is too fast! Thank you! I will definitely work hard." He kept reminding himself that he was not Qin Zhi Han but merely a soldier who should be ecstatic about being favored by a superior.
"Of course you can. If you can do it, then you will do it. Rest a bit more and report for duty tomorrow," Zhang Yu encouraged as he patted Qin Zhi Han on the shoulder.
Once Zhang Yu left, Qin Zhi Han couldn't help but smile wryly; he never expected that after going in circles, he would still end up serving under him. "By the way, Cyan Flame, since I'll have more opportunities in front of people now, I can't guarantee that no one will pay attention to your identity. You should think of a way to get out of this situation."
"Of course. I'm about to suffocate. I just want to find a way to resolve this," Cyan Flame nodded.
Secondly, when Qin Zhi Han stepped out of the tent and became Zhang Yu's guard, everyone in the troops and among the nobility knew about it. Many envied this fool's good fortune. Cyan Flame stood at the entrance of Peach Blossom's tent, having left his mark on Milu when she came to provoke him, tracking her back to Peach Blossom's home.
"That Exposed Woman, come out! Aren't you the Young Commander who will abandon our wounded? Come out and take a slap in the face!" Cyan Flame shouted loudly, pretending to be a rough soldier.
"What are you making noise about? It's because of you that we are moving so slowly; we have to set up camp as soon as we start walking. It's infuriating! I didn't cause you any trouble, yet you dare come here!" Milu couldn't help but step outside upon hearing the commotion. Upon seeing Cyan Flame's disfigured body, she disgustedly covered her face with her hand.
"What are you even worth? You look down on us; do you think you're worthy? You spread false orders and almost made us suspicious of the Young Commander. What are your intentions? Are you pretending to be a subordinate of Jiang Commander from the Huaxia Army? By the way, you're a spy and should be captured!" Cyan Flame continued to shout nonsensically.
This immediately attracted a crowd; upon hearing his words, many found them quite reasonable and looked at Milu with suspicion.
"You’re talking nonsense! I am not from the Huaxia Army. I am part of Squad, working for the government!" Under the gaze of countless malicious eyes, Milu felt flustered and raised her voice.
"Squad? That's just a name without substance; who can prove it? You're a spy trying to sow discord between us and the Young Commander," Cyan Flame kept trying to provoke Milu.
"You lowly scoundrel, you're asking for death!" Milu, surrounded by onlookers and pressured by an ugly disabled soldier, felt her anger rise and shot at Cyan Flame. Cyan Flame activated his Ability, causing everyone to momentarily daze; when they regained their senses, they saw the bullet had struck him in the forehead, and he fell to the ground. Everyone was stunned.
"How outrageous! Killing our soldiers like this! Capture her!" "Arrest her!" The crowd erupted in chaos.
What’s happening? Peach Blossom, nearing the tent, saw a large crowd gathered and pushed her way through. Upon seeing Milu surrounded, her expression darkened—this person was more trouble than she was worth; what else could be in her mind besides handsome men?
The patrol soldiers arrived and took Milu into custody.
“Young Commander, we just managed to calm the previous turmoil, and now another incident has arisen. It feels suspicious. Could it be that the Huaxia Army has infiltrated?” Xu Qiubai reported.
“We’ve only just won a few battles against the Zombies, and things here are still restless. Since they want to show themselves, let’s prepare and catch them all at once,” Zhang Yu waved Xu Qiubai over to whisper in his ear.
While eating, Qin Zhi Han suddenly heard a familiar voice in his mind: “I’m finally back. This time away has been unbearable. It feels good to be myself again.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Cyan Flame. I appreciate your help during this time,” Qin Zhi Han said sincerely as he saw Cyan Flame return to his original form, feeling relaxed and at ease.
“We’re brothers, so it’s nothing. But listen, when it comes to choosing women in the future, you need to be careful. Don’t fall for these infatuated airheads. The one you met last time, Su Ruolan, was quite good,” Cyan Flame said nonchalantly.
Mentioning Su Ruolan made Qin Zhi Han feel a pang of longing. The woman he admired was undoubtedly the best in his eyes, but she seemed unaware of his feelings. The path to winning her over was still long and uncertain. He wondered where she was now. Had she connected with the Huaxia Corps? Had she faced any risks or difficulties on her journey? Was she safe? Did she ever think of him?
As his thoughts overflowed with longing, Qin Zhi Han suddenly lost his appetite, staring at the bowl of congee as if he could see Su Ruolan’s serene smile reflected in it.
