After being reborn, I became the apple of my enemy's eye.

Chapter 155 Humans and Beasts

Seeing that Yan Yun had abandoned him and run away, Nan Yunjing naturally wouldn't confront Shi Hu.

Shi Hu charged toward Nan Yunjing.

Nan Yunjing jumped aside and looked at Shi Hu, saying, "It's not time for me and Deputy General Shi to make a move yet."

Shi Hu missed again with his punch. He looked at Nan Yunjing and said, "Since you've already come out to cause trouble, why say it's not the right time?"

Shi Hu clearly didn't want to let Nan Yunjing go.

Just as he finished speaking, his lieutenants ran over and looked at Shi Hu.

"My lord, a message has come from the palace."

Shi Hu glanced at Nan Yunjing; it seemed like a good opportunity had come his way.

He lost interest in continuing the fight and looked at the guard beside him, asking, "What did you say?"

The deputy general who came to deliver the message stepped forward, approached Shi Hu, and told him everything that had happened in the palace.

"The Crown Prince says you must go to the palace immediately."

After listening, Shi Hu turned to look at Nan Yunjing.

But where is Nan Yunjing now? He has long since vanished.

Yan Yun hugged the black eagle, which was much larger than half of her body. It was quite strenuous to hold it, but thankfully it didn't struggle.

Yan Yun ran straight back to the Zheng residence.

Mo'er followed anxiously to the gate of the mansion.

She saw Yan Yun jump out with her own eyes, so naturally she didn't dare tell the other maids about it. She had to tell Zheng Jihua herself, because if she told the master, the master would notice her.

Just as she was standing in front of the mansion gate looking around, she saw Yan Yun carrying that enormous thing back.

The people at the door were wondering why this young lady had come back from outside.

Mo'er immediately stepped forward, and just as she was about to speak to Yan Yun, the black eagle that Yan Yun was holding suddenly opened its mouth wide at Mo'er.

Mo'er was startled and took a few steps back. She looked at Yan Yun.

"Miss, this is..."

As the black eagle flapped its wings, Yan Yun felt it become heavier, and she immediately reached out and stroked its head.

Yan Yun felt that bringing Black Hawk back was inappropriate.

She immediately turned around and walked outside.

Mo'er chased after her, calling out, "Miss."

Before she could finish speaking, the white eagle beside Yan Yun flapped its wings and flew to Mo'er's side.

Mo'er was so frightened that she immediately covered her face.

Yan Yun headed towards Lu Mingyuan's residence, since the white eagles were a gift from Lu Shan, and naturally, someone in their household would know how to save them.

Yan Yun jogged all the way.

Everyone around her turned their attention to her, because the black eagle she was holding naturally drew more attention.

The patrolling guards also walked over to Yan Yun and spoke to him.

"Hey you over there, stop."

As soon as he finished speaking, a carriage followed from behind and stopped in front of Yan Yun.

Nan Yunjing sat in the carriage and looked at Yan Yun.

"Come up."

Yan Yun saw those people pointing and talking about the black eagle they were holding, but she pretended not to hear them.

Nan Yunjing's reappearance came at just the right time.

Yan Yun immediately handed over the black eagle.

However, the black eagle didn't want Nan Yunjing to touch it, so it immediately opened its mouth wide, ready to scare Nan Yunjing just like it had scare Mo'er.

But Nan Yunjing didn't care at all.

He simply stepped aside and let the black eagle jump in.

Yan Yun looked up and saw the white eagle that had landed on the roof of the carriage, so he immediately got into the carriage.

Mo'er, who had followed, was still chasing after Yan Yun.

"Miss……"

She shouted in panic from behind, fearing that the people in the carriage were thieves again.

Nan Yunjing instructed the coachman to set off, then looked at Yan Yun and said, "You're quite fast, girl."

He's become more talkative these days.

Thinking back to his cold and aloof demeanor, he's now willing to talk to me.

Yan Yun replied, "I will have to trouble Young Master Nan to take me to General Lu's residence."

Nan Yunjing also guessed what she wanted to do at the General's Mansion.

He looked at the arrow that had pierced the black eagle's wing, with the word "stone" engraved on it.

Yan Yun was unaware of the details, but Nan Yunjing knew that Shi Hu had always hated women and had once been engaged to Lu Lan from Lu Mingyuan's household.

But now that Lu Lan has married Zheng Jihua, it's like a revenge for Shi Hu losing his wife.

He asked Yan Yun, "He's nothing but a beast, yet he's putting in such a serious effort."

As soon as Yan Yun confronted the stone tiger, Nan Yunjing arrived nearby, but he did not appear immediately; instead, he watched from the sidelines.

Yan Yun listened to his words because he had just helped him, which was why he was willing to say so much.

"I think they are much smarter and more sensible than humans."

Nan Yunjing's carriage carried Yan Yun to Lu Mingyuan's residence. Yan Yun got off the carriage, looked at the tightly closed Lu General's residence, walked forward and reached out to push the door, but it wouldn't budge, so she tried knocking on the door.

Someone inside opened the door a crack and looked at Yan Yun standing outside. She looked somewhat familiar, but no one knew who she was. "Is this young lady looking for someone?"

Yan Yun immediately replied, "I want to find Lu Shan."

Upon hearing the girl mention the Second Young Master's name, the servant said, "The Second Young Master has already left the capital for the Northern Qiang with the master."

Hearing that Lu Shan and the others had left, and that Yan Yun hadn't come looking for them, she asked, "The second young master of the Lu family gave me a white eagle, but it has been wounded by an arrow. I don't know where I can find someone to treat it?"

The man looked troubled.

After all, in this day and age, if a human is injured and cannot find a doctor, then it is even less likely that an animal will be able to find one.

He thought for a moment and remembered that there was still a doctor in Yuanjing who treated horses.

"If it's convenient for you, Miss, you could go to the outskirts of the city to find a young master surnamed Lin. He usually treats warhorses, so he should be able to treat other animals as well."

Yan Yun immediately expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you for letting me know."

The man seemed somewhat flustered. "Miss, you're exaggerating."

Yan Yun immediately returned to the carriage and looked at Nan Yunjing, saying, "Young Master Nan, let's go to the outskirts of the city."

Nan Yunjing hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yan Yun and said, "It's not easy to leave the city now."

Yan Yun still decided to give it a try, and would decide what to do once they reached the city gate.

She looked at the black eagle's wings inside the carriage; they were wet. She reached out and touched them; they were black blood.

Yan Yun originally intended to help Black Hawk pull out the arrow directly.

Nan Yunjing stopped her, "Shi Hu's bow and arrows are specially made. Compared to ordinary sharp arrows, his arrows have a backlash. If you pull them out or push them in, the wound will only get deeper."

After listening to what Nan Yunjing said.

Yan Yun became even more determined to find the young master Lin that the man had mentioned.

Yan Yun had made up her mind. She looked at Nan Yunjing and said, "Then I would be grateful if you could trouble Young Master Nan to take me to the outskirts of the city."

Yan Yun was worried that he would not agree, so he said that he could also send him to the city gate and he would find a way to get out himself.

Nan Yunjing frowned upon hearing this.

"Do you think that city gate is a place you can come and go as you please?"

Yan Yun knew it wouldn't be that simple, but, "Once we get there, we'll figure out a way to get out. It's no big deal."

She put it simply.

Nan Yunjing, who was standing to the side, frowned.

Seeing that Nan Yunjing was in a dilemma, Yan Yun wasn't too dumbfounded.

Naturally, he offered a few words of praise.

“Young Master Nan, I will never forget your kindness in helping me today. I will repay you with even greater kindness.”

After she finished speaking, Nan Yunjing remained unmoved. Yan Yun then said, "Don't worry, young master. There will definitely be something I can do for you in the future."

As for whether I can help in the future? That's a matter for the future. Since I need help from others now, I should make sure to say it in a more positive way.

Nan Yunjing smiled after hearing this.

He instructed the groom to head towards the outskirts of the city.

The coachman responded with a few words.

Nan Yunjing said, "It's alright, let's go that way."

Yan Yun was worried about her white eagle, so she prepared to stick her head out to take a look.

It was clear that there were patrolling guards everywhere outside, walking back and forth in an orderly fashion on the street.

Nan Yunjing then brought up Shi Hu, saying, "You actually messed with that guy."

Yan Yun corrected Nan Yunjing, "I had no intention of provoking him; on the contrary, he has been pressing me relentlessly, wanting to take my life."

This is also true.

Yan Yun's hands still feel a little numb.

I injured my face before, and now I've injured my hand.

Nan Yunjing noticed that Yan Yun was rubbing his hands and said to him, "Raise your hands."

Yan Yun was a little taken aback, wondering why he suddenly brought this up.

She stretched out her good hand.

Nan Yunjing took the sword beside him and used it to lift up Yan Yun's other hand.

The area where Shi Hu stepped was already swollen; that guy must have used a lot of force.

Yan Yun immediately withdrew his hand, preventing Nan Yunjing from continuing to watch.

"It's not even a minor injury."

Yan Yun said this with a smile.

Nan Yunjing said, "Even if I had been hit by Shi Hu, I wouldn't dare say it was just a minor injury. You're just spouting nonsense."

Yan Yun wasn't just spouting nonsense; she told Nan Yunjing that she was simply able to endure it.

Those who feel pain are simply unable to bear it.

Nan Yunjing naturally viewed Yan Yun's words as forceful and unreasonable.

Yan Yun didn't do the opposite.

Upon arriving at the city gate, Yan Yun prepared to dismount from the carriage.

Nan Yunjing stopped her and took off the jade pendant from his body, handing it to the coachman.

The coachman then returned the jade pendant.

They didn't push open the carriage door to check as before; they just said a few words and let them pass.

Wait until the carriage leaves the city.

Yan Yun hadn't expected that he would leave Yuanjing so easily.

She looked at Nan Yunjing beside her, having initially thought he was just another young master like Yun Yi.

But now it seems he is more capable.

Once the carriage was outside the city wall.

Yan Yun was about to tell the coachman where he was going when Nan Yunjing said, "I already heard that. Just sit quietly and wait until we get to the place the servants of Lu Mingyuan's mansion told you about. Then the coachman will go up and ask to see him."

Yan Yun hadn't expected Nan Yunjing to have made so many decisions. "I'll go by myself."

Nan Yunjing said, "This isn't a place just any woman can come to. You sit here quietly."

Nan Yunjing spoke to himself again in that same scolding tone.

Yan Yun felt that he was disrespectful, and that even without adding up his age, he was much older than him.

She dared to think that if she had a child, Nan Yunjing and her child would be about the same age.

Yan Yun was staring at Nan Yunjing, lost in thought.

Nan Yunjing saw through her thoughts at a glance.

"He's daydreaming and thinking about something random."

Yan Yun's thoughts were seen through, and he immediately turned around.

Nan Yunjing coldly replied, "Put away all the things in your head."

Yan Yun looked at him and shook his head helplessly. These men were truly arrogant and disdainful of everyone.

The coachman came over and said, "Young master, you can ask Miss Zheng to send the things you brought over."

The black eagle wouldn't let Nan Yunjing touch it, and neither could the coachman.

Nan Yunjing said, "Even though he's injured like this, he's still very wary."

He took off his clothes and draped them over Yan Yun's head.

"Let's go down."

Black Hawk was still held by Yan Yun herself; it was a big, fluffy ball.

Outside the city, there was a large courtyard enclosed by wood, where various horses were kept.

The young master Lin that the servant mentioned was indeed a rugged man with a full beard.

Nan Yunjing stepped forward and introduced himself, but the other person didn't look at him much and was still focused on arranging the weed-like things on the wooden shelf next to him.

Yan Yun spoke up, "Please, sir, help me save it."

"Save? Save what?"

The man asked Yan Yun aloud.

Yan Yun removed the clothes that Nan Yunjing had covered him with, revealing the wing that had been pierced by the arrow from the black eagle.

The other person's expression changed immediately upon seeing the black eagle, and he immediately asked Yan Yun.

"Where did you find this?"

Yan Yun told the truth, "It was given to me by General Lu's son."

The man looked Yan Yun up and down.

"Such a young girl, and she actually gave him this. That guy Lu Shan is really brave but reckless, he doesn't think things through."

Black Hawk grabbed the man and pulled him away, but Black Hawk immediately struggled.

Yan Yun saw that its feathers had all fallen to the ground and felt a little worried. She immediately said, "Please be gentle, sir."

The man asked Yan Yun, "Do you keep this with you because you think it's fun, or because you're bored?"

Yan Yun answered seriously, "No, the one I kept by my side was another one. This one just came to guard the one that was by my side."

The man was completely confused by what Yan Yun said.

"You can't even speak clearly, what are you saying?"

Yan Yun didn't explain further. She simply bowed to the man and said very politely, "Please help me save it, sir. If you can save it, I will give you all the rewards you could ask for."

The man waved his hand, "I don't want the stuff, but let me tell you, if I kill it while treating it, don't come looking for compensation."

Yan Yun was taken aback. "It's just a wing injury, is it really that serious?"

Nan Yunjing thought of a possibility.

He looked at the man and asked, "Was there some kind of poison on that arrow?"

Shi Hu is a treacherous and ruthless fellow, so it's not surprising that he would smear poison on his arrows.

The man shook his head and said, "This is the first time I've treated something that flies in the sky. If it dies, and she asks me for compensation, who am I supposed to ask?"

Yan Yun naturally didn't want to see Black Hawk die, but listening to the other party's words, he felt a little worried.

She lowered her head, her expression sincere, and pleaded, "Please, sir, do everything you can to save me."

The man waved his hand.

"Let's give it a try."

They waited for the man to lead Black Hawk into the wooden house next door.

Yan Yun's white eagle also flew down from the sky. It landed to the side and stared at the wooden house.
