"You can stay by my side. I'll guarantee your safety."

Bartle finally opened his mouth and said this as he looked at Yun Zi Huang with sincere eyes.

She pursed her lips slightly. "Do you think you can hold your ground against Qingxiao?"

He was silent, his gaze distant as he gazed into the distance. That War God King, who dared to say that he would stay behind?

After a long while, he asked, "Do you like him?"

This time, Yun Zihuang did not reply. She only gave a slight smile and looked in the direction of the Black Bear Valley. In the dark of the night, Black Bear Gap was already very close to her, and he, was in Black Bear Gap.

Bartle did not pursue the matter further. Thinking that she had risked her life to come here for the sake of the War God King, an indescribable feeling surged through his heart. Jealousy, hate, envy...

Why wasn't she his woman?

After two days and two nights, he finally saw Black Bear Valley, but it was already the wee hours of the morning.

In the dark night, the two thousand men gradually disappeared into the darkness. The northern troop of soldiers halted their steps. They were still shouting for the enemy to kill them as they watched these people leave from their encirclement. Yun Zi Huang's heart finally relaxed a little when she saw Feng Jue bringing a small group of people, waiting for her.

A moment later, the signal flare rose into the night sky, causing Yun Zi Huang to smile: "Ninth Prince, please escort me all the way here, please don't go too far."

A glass bottle was thrown over. Battle reached out his hand to catch it. At that moment, he really wanted to make a sudden move and launch a sneak attack to catch her. However, Princess Taiping's gentle words had extinguished all his thoughts.

"I don't mind if you attack. Give me a chance to poison you."

He coldly said, "Yun Zihuang, don't let me meet you again, or else I'll catch you and bring you back to be my woman."

She galloped toward Black Bear Gap. He held the glass bottle tightly in his hand and watched her leave quietly.

Yun Zhao led his men to protect Yun Zi Huang, while Yun Hai was the last to leave.

Battle forced a smile. How could he hide today's scene from his father?

However, he still had to find an excuse to make his father not kill him. Even if his father and everyone else knew that this was an excuse, as long as he was still useful, he could temporarily preserve his life. Punishments were inevitable, but right now, his father had no choice but to keep him. Use him!

The two thousand people did not depart into the distance. Instead, they stayed in the darkness, waiting to receive the princess at any time. When Feng Ren saw that Yun Zihuang had returned safe and sound, he heaved a sigh of relief. If something were to happen to the princess, then his head would not be worth it.

Her heart was violently beating. At this moment, she suddenly had some hesitation.

She was about to see him, but she hesitated, not wanting him to know that she had risked her life to come here for him.

In the faint light of dawn, Yun Zihuang's footsteps halted as she looked outside the tent. Her figure that stood tall like a pine tree, was him!

Then, she quickened her pace and walked over, her gaze never leaving his cold, hard face, his slightly sullen black eyes.

"General Yun Zi Huang greets the Lord."

She dropped to one knee and bent her head.

"Where is the military order?"

She raised the military order above her head. Feng Qingxiao reached out with both hands to take it. He opened it and took a look, then coldly said, "How reckless and reckless. Do you know what punishment you should take?"

"This lowly general knows his wrongs and humbly requests that the Lord grant this favor to this lowly general to make amends for his crimes."

Yun Hai and the rest all respectfully kneeled a few steps behind Yun Zi Huang. They did not even dare to breathe as they deeply knelt on the ground.

"Yes, I will make you pay for that."

"Thank you, master, for your kindness."

How depressing! He risked his life to come all the way here. He killed a thousand men from the Northern Reaches along the way, captured a thousand war horses, and had plenty of weapons, weapons, and weapons." She had killed a thousand brave warriors of the barbarian race, and had also seized a lot of war horse supplies. She had led a thousand men, yet they were all unharmed. In the end, they didn't have the slightest bit of merit.

But in front of the army, she was just a small field officer, so she could only be polite.

After all, last time, she had said in front of him that she would rather exist as a subordinate.

It was already a great honor for a mere field officer to be bestowed such a title by the Lord. Whoever the Lord said was guilty, he would be guilty, and he would also be innocent.

"Go down and rest."

She whispered, "My lord, this general still has a military report."

"Come in."

Feng Qingxiao turned and entered the tent. Only then did she stand up and follow him in. He put down the tent flap to block the view outside. Yun Hai and the rest also slowly stood up and went down to rest.

He looked down and saw Ouyang Baofeng's military order, but couldn't vent out the anger in his heart. He could not help but raise his head and glare coldly at Yun Zihuang. Wind Blade had already sent someone to report everything that had happened. How could he care? Whatever contribution she had rendered, he was only worried that she had risked her life in the slightest. Especially when she heard that she had met Bartle again, that she had been besieged and that she had barely managed to survive, the anger in her heart flared up.

"My lord, please heal your wounds."

She walked forward and reached out her hand to untie his clothes. He was cold and silent and wanted to scold her angrily, but when he saw that her body was covered in dust and her eyes were bloodshot, his face had an unconcealable tiredness.

Blades, arrows, bruises, bruises...

It had only been a few days?

There were many more wounds on his body. Fortunately, they were not fatal wounds and they had been properly treated. As long as he rested for a few days, he would be completely healed. Her fingertip lightly brushed across his wound, disinfected it, and bandaged it again. She had already given some of her best medicines to Yu Chou and told him to pass them on to the military doctor who was traveling with Qingxiao in the wind. She had already instructed Yu Chou to leave those medicines with him.

From the looks of it, it was unknown whether or not those medicines had been secretly hidden by the military doctors and given to others.

The most serious injury was internal injuries. She angrily asked, "The military doctor didn't give you a Returning Energy Pill?"

Feng Qingxiao glanced at her. This little girl wanted to reveal his true colors again. Who would dare to speak in such a manner in front of him?

He dared to disrespect the title of "Lord", and actually said "you". If someone else said it out loud, it would be a crime of great disrespect.

"Please forgive me, my lord."

Yun Zihuang noticed her slip of tongue and lightly said a few words of apology. She took out a condensed version of the liquid and placed it next to Feng Qingxiao's lips.

"The medicine you gave to the military doctor, I gave it to someone else."

"You … "My lord is so generous."

She felt quite helpless. She should've thought about it long ago. Those doctors wouldn't dare to hide their medicines in the dark, let alone give them to others to use. It must've been the Battle God King giving them to his subordinates.

He drank the condensed elemental liquid, then pointed at the dried rations within the broth. "Come and eat some."

The two of them ate their breakfast in silence. She quickly finished it and said, "My lord, I will take my leave now."

"If I die in battle, will you regret what you said to me a few days ago in the northern part of the city?"
