General

Yuling Pass.

Li Xuan was placed in the warm spring bedroom, the wound was cleaned, and the best wound medicine was applied externally, but his body gradually became hot, and the right arm whose veins were broken by Fei Yan also swelled badly.

Lan Jing sat on the side of the couch, staring at Li Xuan's tightly closed eyes, but her heart throbbed violently.He has suffered, and the criss-crossing scars are extremely hideous, all explaining everything he endured when he was in the enemy camp.

Lan Jing stretched out her fingers, and slowly stroked his chapped lips. On the thin and beautifully lined lips, several deep wounds were bitten by himself.Lan Jing touched his fingertips trembling slightly, at this moment he could even imagine how Li Xuan forced himself to endure the insults of the Xuanming people for so many days...

"My lord, Ling Feng has returned to the city." Ning Yu stood at the entrance of the hall and carefully reported to the room, "There is also a general named Xie Zhen."

"...Where are they?" Lan Jing was interrupted from thinking, hastily wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and turned around to answer.

"Ling Feng went to the back mountain, and General Xie is waiting outside the hall." Ning Yu lowered her eyes respectfully, and responded in a low voice.

"Ling Feng suffered such a serious injury, what did he do in the back mountain?!" Lan Jing was startled in astonishment, puzzled.

"He..." Ning Yu's eyes flashed a look of solemnity, and he continued with some hesitation, "He brought Qiu Yang..."

The scene of being protected by Qiu Yang desperately in his arms reappeared in his mind, and Lan Jing felt his heart convulsed. He only cared about Li Xuan's injury, and even forgot about the person who saved their lives. He really felt ashamed.

"I see..." Lan Jing sighed silently, looking out of the window, as if she could travel thousands of miles and return to the bank of the rolling Jiasi River, "I failed Qiu Dahai's trust."

"My lord, don't blame yourself." Ning Yu shook her head seriously, "He once told me that being able to protect you is his greatest wish in this life."

Lan Jing smiled wryly and raised her eyes to the roof, not letting the tears that lingered in her eyes fall down: "Forget it... let General Xie come in..."

"Yes."

Ning Yu kowtowed and retreated. In less than a cup of tea, Xie Zhen walked into the bedroom majestically in his battle robe.

"Prince Jing."

Xie Zhen took off his helmet and held it in the crook of his arm, and saluted in a rough voice, "I will come and see General Li in the future."

Lan Jing was still sitting in the couch, turned sideways, and looked at him with phoenix eyes: "I heard that when the Xuanming people invaded, the [-] garrisons in the northwest were wiped out, how did General Xie escape from this calamity? ?!"

In Lanjing's solemn tone, there was a little suspicion.

"Thanks to the lord, General Li was transferred back to the capital to be a fucking princess..." Thinking of this incident, Xie Zhen frowned, and his words became vulgar, "The general who was sent to replace me is mediocre. , without courage, the first battle with the Xuanming people was a mess, and many brothers were ruined in vain."

Xie Zhen snorted coldly, his fingers clenched loudly: "One of my lieutenants refused to accept his tactics, and made a few mocking remarks. He actually punished him for a major crime of shaking the morale of the army, and ordered him to be beheaded for public display!"

Speaking of this, Xie Zhen seemed to be unable to restrain his excitement. He blushed and gritted his teeth bitterly and said: "So I took some of the elite of the Immortal Army and fled to the deep mountains. I can't sacrifice my hard work in the hands of that trash. I swear that if General Li doesn't return, he won't come back."

"Then why did you arrive so late?!" Lan Jing turned her head to look at the bruised Li Xuan, her face was pale, but her clothes were already soaked in sweat, and her tone was unavoidably blaming.

"You are really a noble prince supported by gold and jade, how do you know the hardships of life?" Xie Zhen smiled coldly, his eyes were full of mockery, "more than 1 soldiers have to open their mouths to eat, without the court supply, how can we live?"

Lan Jing froze for a moment, only to realize that he really hadn't thought about these questions.

"So... we have no choice but to grab it." Xie Zhen's gaze also slowly fell on Li Xuan, and instantly softened a lot, "Go grab what you lack, as long as you can survive..."

"Isn't that banditry?!" Lan Jing stared at Xie Zhen in astonishment, and said loudly.

"We went to Xuanming country, and we also robbed Xuanming people. Those high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen in the border cities killed one by one. Anyway, there is nothing good, so we should treat it as killing an enemy for the country!!"

"..." Lan Jing opened her mouth, feeling that the theory of this irascible general was a bit strange, but she didn't know how to refute it, so she could only agree with it for the time being.

"So, we were late..." Xie Zhen clenched his fists regretfully, and sighed heavily.

"Not too late..." Lan Jing slightly raised the corners of her lips, shook her head and said, "At least...he's still alive!!"
