"No, he had already done it twice. Maybe he could do it a third time. Don't forget, he was Zhao Yun—the Zhao Yun who charged alone into the Half-Beast Army and made all the women of Liangshan City want to marry him. Come with me to the city walls, quickly!"
Inside the thatched cottage, Li Hongluan stared at Ye Nishang in astonishment. She had actually awakened.
"What did you just say happened to Zhao Yun?"
"Sister Hongluan, Zhao Yun is in danger outside Changsheng City. Go help him."
Ye Nishang had always been hostile toward Li Hongluan, yet now she was begging her. What was even more unexpected was that Ye Nishang had had very little hope of waking up. Yet when Zhao Yun was in danger, she had awakened. Even Li Hongluan was stunned.
