Shang Qiuyuan once again returned to the tent to rest. As for Huo Ni Lin, he fell asleep due to his mental exhaustion, he still had to continue waiting. He was extremely worried. He was worried that the Fiery-Scaled Tiger's injuries would be severe and that it might even be life-threatening.

If that was the case, it might affect the war and force the retreat.

This was exactly what he was most worried about. The injury of the reverse scale was related to Feng Yuan, and it was also related to whether or not he could achieve his own goals.

"General."

A low voice came from under the couch.

Shang Qiuyuan gripped his treasured sword beneath his ribs and stared below the couch. He wasn't nervous, there shouldn't be any danger within the army of the Fiery-Inverted Scale.

"Who are you and why are you hiding under the bed?"

When Le Tian saw that there was no one in the tent, he opened his mouth to call out to Shang Qiuyuan. He was worried that his sudden appearance would arouse Shang Qiuyuan's suspicion and alarm others, so he first greeted them.

Leaping out from under the bed, patting the dust off his body, Le Tian kneeled down and said, "Le Tian greets the Great General. I am the former Great Hospital's Left Courtyard Judgement, Imperial Physician Le Tian."

Shang Qiuyuan had also heard of Le Tian's name. He knew that this person had a good relationship with Ji Tian Ning. It was said in the outside world that Le Tian was Ji Tian Ning's disciple. He had met Le Tian in the dark.

"Le Tian, why are you here?" Where is Ji Tian Ning now? "

He did not call Ji Tian Ning "Empress". In his heart, Ji Tian Ning was still that strange and interesting girl from when he first met her, his soulmate.

"Great General, this lowly one has come specially to beg the great general for the Empress, to beg the great general to save the Empress." Right now, only the Great General can save the Empress. I hope that the Great General can help the Empress out of kindness towards the Great General in the past. "

"Stand up and speak."

Le Tian stood up. "Great General, the Empress has returned to the Southern Champion Kingdom this time to visit the family of Tan Zi. However, she did not know that the Emperor had long been lying in ambush there, and thus fell into the hands of the Emperor. Because of this, Li Hantian was heavily injured and captured by the emperor. "Later on, the Empress took advantage of the emperor's coma to let me and Li Hantian leave. She didn't want the emperor to personally lead troops to kill us, so Lai Hantian was killed because of this."

"How is she?"

"Not good, Great General. The Empress is in great pain." When treating the Emperor, the Empress requested that he save the Emperor's life and let her leave. "However, this lowly one understands that neither the steward nor the commander-in-chief is willing to allow the Empress to see the Great General. I am deeply afraid that the Empress will use this opportunity to leave with the Great General."

"Is she all right?"

"General, in order to save the emperor a few days ago, we didn't know that the emperor's blood was so rare. We looked for the blood of many people, but none of them matched the emperor's." In order to cure the Emperor, the Empress had given blood for the Emperor and passed out. When you were with the emperor, the Empress often suffered humiliations, so the Empress wholeheartedly wanted to leave. "

"Does she know that I'm here?"

"This lowly one risked my life to inform the Empress of the matter of the great general's arrival. It is just that the Empress was worried that the great general would be implicated, and that the Emperor would blame the great general. Thus, she was unwilling to come forward and beg the great general."

Shang Qiuyuan was speechless. For her sake, how could he care about being suspected and even punished by the Fiery-Scaled Beast? As long as it allowed her to be at peace, he wouldn't hesitate to be demoted to a commoner.

Even if the cold-blooded king suspected him, he would still not look at her. Why was she unwilling to see him?

Deep emotions flashed across her eyes. She didn't want to bring him any trouble, so she knew that he was already too burdened. She was worried that the discontent of the Fire Lin Clan would cause him trouble in the future.

"The burden on me is already very heavy, so I don't mind giving you a little more!"

Shang Qiuyuan stood up, "Where is she?"

Le Tian walked to the door of the tent, opened it a little, and pointed to a tent in the distance. "Great General, that is the Empress's tent. If the Empress were to leave by herself, this lowly one would not be able to rest at ease. This little one is even more worried that Wude and An Mausoleum would secretly send people to capture the Empress, or send people to follow the Empress. "

"I still have to go see the emperor in a while. Go back and prepare first." "Then we will wait in her tent. After my audience with the Emperor is over, I will go see her and take you away from here."

Le Tian bowed happily. "Thank you, Great General. This lowly one will not worry about anything. As long as the Empress is safe, this lowly one will have no further requests."

"Be careful, don't let anyone find out. I'll lure the guards away and you can leave as soon as possible." "Don't tell her that I already knew I was going to see her."

"Yes, this lowly one obeys. This lowly one is waiting for the great general's order."

Shang Qiuyuan walked out and called the guards outside, pretending to inquire about certain things to distract the guards' attention. Le Tian hurriedly crawled out from the back of the tent and sneakily returned to his own tent to prepare everything.

Le Tian peeked from his tent and saw that Shang Qiuyuan had once again entered the fire reverse scale tent. He had been waiting at the entrance of his tent, waiting for Shang Qiuyuan to come out. He knew very well that this was the only chance for Ji Tian Ning to leave this place safely and gain freedom.

If he waited for Wude and An Ling to release Ji Tian Ning, then even if they didn't care about the reverse scale, they would have released Ji Tian Ning. How could he be at ease letting Ji Tian Ning leave during a time of war? He understood the meaning behind Ji Tian Ning's earlier conversation with her; she didn't want him to stay by her side.

In his heart, even if he wanted to follow and accompany her, he couldn't.

"Perhaps in her heart, there's only His Majesty and Li Hantian. She's never paid attention to me."

In the heart there is indescribable disappointment, at first sight fall in love, the heart of infatuation never changed. Regardless of whether she had paid attention to him or not, if she had thought of him, he would always silently look at her, care for her, and risk his life to protect her.

Le Tian didn't know that it wasn't that Ji Tian Ning didn't know of his deep love for her. It was just that in her heart, she couldn't bear him anymore.

At that time, she was a woman with a bad temper. Although she had a good impression of Le Tian and admired him a lot, it didn't involve feelings between a man and a woman.

After that, she escaped from the palace and walked together with Li Hantian, making love over a long period of time.

Hate Tian's infatuation and affection was the eternal pain in Ji Tian Ning's heart. Moreover, because of this, she was unable to accept Le Tian's feelings. She was even more worried that Le Tian's life would be in danger if she were to be with him.

When Shang Qiuyuan came out of the tent, he put down his worries. The reverse scale accepted his entire plan, and gave the order to the King Shoulder, handing over the matter of the peace alliance to him.

Although the Fiery Inverted Scale wanted to personally take care of this matter, his current injuries weren't something that could be recovered in a short period of time. At this time, the situation in Feng Yuan could no longer be delayed. The only thing left to do was to take over the position and power of the King, which was enough to take care of this matter in his place.

Even though he was unwilling in his heart, there was nothing he could do. Shang Qiuyuan was right, the current Southern Champion was still lacking a king that could not stand shoulder to shoulder.

When Le Tian saw Shang Qiuyuan walking out from Huo Ni Lin's tent, he hurriedly also walked out towards Ji Tian Ning's tent.

"General, this lowly subordinate will escort the general back to the camp. When will the general return?"

This time, he was sent to follow Shang Qiuyuan and lead a team of imperial guards to the front line. Not only did he show great trust in Shang Qiuyuan, he was also going to have him monitor Shang Qiuyuan.

An Lingyun understood that the Fire Lin wanted him to take control of the situation in front of him and report back to him at any time.

"Commander, there is no need to be anxious. You can go and make some arrangements. Although it is late in the night, I have the orders of the Emperor and I do not dare to stay. Commander, please make the arrangements as soon as possible and follow me.

"How can I let this young master go back alone? This lowly official should send this young master back."

"Lord Commander, please do as you please. I'm going to meet an old friend. If Lord Commander has free time, there's no harm in going as well."

An Lingyun's expression changed when he saw Shang Qiuyuan rushing straight towards Ji Tianning's tent. Shang Qiuyuan no longer paid him any attention as he mounted the horse and galloped towards Ji Tianning's tent. An Lingyun, who was standing on the ground, wanted to call out to Shang Qiuyuan, but seeing his posture, she knew that she couldn't stop him, so she hurriedly followed.

Shang Qiuyuan dismounted from his horse in front of Ji Tian Ning's tent. Without even using a servant to report, he opened the tent door and walked in.

"Tian Ning, I'm here."

Ji Tian Ning was startled as she raised her head to look at Shang Qiuyuan. She did not expect him to enter her tent by himself.

"How is it? Do you not welcome your foolish brother?"

When he looked at her, he could still see that familiar smile. It was just that her current appearance was so charming.

Her mysterious purple eyes, which had transformed into beautiful patterns, and her deep azure blue eye shadow, gave her an incomparably charming appearance. Her blue eyelashes hung down from her body. However, there were small patterns on her face that caused Ji Tian Ning to undergo a great change.

"Why did you come?"

"Since you want to come, then come. I'm here to bring you away. There's no need to say too much. Pack up your things and follow me."

Le Tian also followed them in. Ji Tian Ning gave Le Tian a somewhat reproachful look. She knew that Le Tian had secretly gone to inform Shang Qiuyuan.

"Your Highness, please forgive me."

Le Tian lowered his head. Ji Tian Ning sighed. Le Tian was only taking such risks for her sake. How could she blame Le Tian?

"Qiuyuan, I'm afraid this isn't appropriate. You should leave on your own."

Shang Qiuyuan stretched out his hand and grabbed Ji Tianning's hand, "Le Tian, take her things. Let's go."

This was the first time Ji Tian Ning had ever seen Shang Qiuyuan act so tyrannically like this. Ji Tian Ning looked at Shang Qiuyuan infatuatedly. This Shang Qiuyuan had the decisiveness and domineering aura of a commander in chief of one of the three armies.

Le Tian's eyes widened as he watched Shang Qiuyuan grab Ji Tian Ning's hand. What was going on?

He hurriedly picked up Ji Tian Ning's backpack. Other than this, there was nothing else he could take. He picked up Ji Tian Ning's fox fur coat as he carried his belongings on his back.

Shang Qiuyuan pushed open the tent door and pulled Ji Tian Ning out, his expression filled with unquestionable perseverance. This time, he would personally pull her away from here, away from the White Horse Emperor.

"Young Master, please be careful."

An Lingyun slightly bowed. Her gaze landed on Shang Qiuyuan who was holding Ji Tian Ning's hand. As an official, to dare to be so intimate with the emperor's woman was a capital offense.

"I've heard that the Lord Commander and the Head Supervisor have agreed to let my sister leave. Now that they've stopped us, are they going to go back on their words?" I still have in my hands the personal writings of the Lord Commander and the Head Supervisor. Do you want to watch, Lord Commander? "

"Sister?"

An Lingyun stared at Shang Qiuyuan doubtfully, "Young Master must think twice before acting."

"She is my adopted sister, the foster daughter of my royal father. If my lord has any doubts, you can personally ask my royal father. Right now, the prince's body is not feeling well, and is thinking of my adopted sister. I will take her to see my royal father, does the lord have any objections? "

An Ling was stunned. What was this and what was this? Since when did the emperor's concubine become the adopted daughter of Prince Jian, the adopted sister of Shang Qiuyuan?

"Esteemed wangfei, the empress is the imperial concubine …"

"Commander, if you say so, may I ask, does the Emperor have an edict? "My adopted sister is the foster daughter of my royal father. Even if the emperor wanted to take her as his consort, he should have clearly announced it to the world. Where is the imperial edict now?"

"…"

An Ling Qinglan was speechless. How could there be an edict? This sinful Empress had already publicly died in the five empires.
