663 Unexpectedly

At the border, Xi Rong led the female soldiers to resist the Ge Kingdom’s army.

Two days ago, she received the news that Xiao Hanzheng had defeated the Ge Kingdom army and poisoned Ye Lui Donghe.

Therefore, she understood that the Ge Kingdom’s army was so powerful today because of this incident.

The other battle line had been defeated, and Ge Kingdom wanted to make up for it from the front.

!!
Other than the female soldiers that she had brought along, there was also the army that Xiao Yuanshi had led previously. They had joined forces to resist bitterly.

However, the other party’s attacks were too strong. They were even surrounded by the enemy and were about to be unable to hold on.

Xi Rong was leading a group of female soldiers to break out of the encirclement when suddenly, arrows were shot from behind her.

Yue Lü, who was beside her, saw this and instinctively hugged her, and the arrow hit him.

He said weakly in Xi Rong’s ear, “Rong Rong, if I die, you must not forget me.”

Xi Rong did not expect Yue Lü to block the arrow for her. “Why are you so stupid?”

Yue Lü’s face turned pale as he laughed at himself. “Yeah, I think I’m quite silly too, but I like you.”

He was the most selfish person. Initially, he had relied on Xi Rong mainly because of her identity and because she could help him take revenge.

She did not let him down and helped him to turn that disgusting family into the poor commoners they looked down on.

However, he was unable to pull himself away and his heart fell on her.

He used all his strength to hug Xi Rong. “Rong Rong, you must live well. Don’t let me die in vain.”

With that, he fell to the ground.

Xi Rong’s heart ached as if it was being pinched. She swung her knife crazily at the Ge Kingdom soldiers who were already approaching.

She was afraid that they would not be able to rush out today. Then, she would take away one enemy. She would use her life to earn enough.

Xi Rong kept slashing and killing, not letting the Ge Kingdom soldiers get close to Yue Lü who was on the ground.

The other female soldiers also protected her side. Even though they had already felt despair in their hearts and felt that they could not escape death today, they did not give up. Instead, they fought even more fiercely.

At this moment, a horn sounded, and the sound of hooves came from behind.

Xi Rong turned around with her numb eyes and saw countless warhorses charging toward them.

She had originally thought that it was the cavalry of Ge Kingdom. At this moment, her despair had already passed and she was only waiting to die in battle.

However, when she suddenly saw a flag erected by a cavalryman, which was the flag of Daliang, her eyes instantly regained their luster.

Then she shouted, “Reinforcements are here! Our reinforcements are here! Everyone, hold on!”

The soldiers nearby all heard her shout and couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of hope. They charged even more fiercely.

When the Ge Kingdom’s general saw that the Daliang army had come to reinforce them, his expression turned extremely ugly.

“Kill her! If we can’t capture Marquis Zhennan alive, then kill her!” he said with a dark face.

Xi Rong’s identity was special. Whether it was capturing or killing her, it would be beneficial to their side.

As soon as he finished speaking, a long arrow suddenly flew over from afar and instantly pierced his chest.

The commander could barely make out that the person who shot him was a handsome young man in armor. Then, he clutched his chest and fell off his horse.

“General!”

The commander was suddenly shot dead, and the Ge army was thrown into chaos.

Especially when a few small black balls were suddenly thrown over by the soldiers of Daliang. A loud explosion occurred, and many of their men died.

The soldiers here had long heard of the power of the little black balls, and they were all shocked when they saw it today.

In addition to the fact that their commander had been killed, they were like headless flies running around. Many of them had already fled to the back.

Under Xiao Hanzheng’s leadership, Daliang’s side defeated the enemy in a one-sided battle.

Seeing this, the deputy general could only order his men to blow the retreat horn and retreat with his men.

Xiao Hanzheng asked the old general to chase after them.

On the other side, Shi Qingluo rode her horse to Xi Rong.

Seeing that Xi Rong’s face and body were covered in blood, Shi Qing dismounted and pulled her over. She asked worriedly, “Are you alright? Where are you hurt?”

Xi Rong only felt that they had been saved when Shi Qingluo pulled her.

She turned to look at the Ge Kingdom army that Xiao Hanzheng had defeated and then turned back to look at Shi Qingluo.

She pointed at Yue Lü on the ground and spat out two words with great effort, “Save him.”

Then, her vision turned black, and her entire body fell to the ground. She was caught by Shi Qingluo, who had sharp eyes and quick hands.

After some time, Xi Rong opened her eyes.

What she saw was not a battlefield, but a tent.

She turned her head and saw Shi Qing sitting not far away reading a book.

“Luo Luo!”

Shi Qingluo put down her book and walked quickly to the bedside. “Rong Rong, are you feeling better?”

Previously, Xi Rong’s sudden collapse had given her a shock.

Fortunately, she brought her back. Although she had many wounds on her body, they were not fatal.

The reason why she fainted was because she had lost too much blood and was already exhausted. Fortunately, her life was not in danger.

Xi Rong still looked a little weak. “Much better.”

“I thought I was going to die in battle this time. I didn’t expect you guys to come.”

“Where’s Yue Lü?” she asked.

Her eyes were filled with fear and hope.

She was afraid that the other party would die, hoping that the other party would still have a chance of survival.

Shi Qingluo could tell that she was worried. “Old Xiao has already saved him. Don’t worry.”

She had recognized Yue Lü on the battlefield. He was the young man who had followed Xi Rong back to Heyang County in North City.

At that time, Yue Lü gave her the feeling that he was a two-faced wolf.

Both Xi Rong and Xiao Hanzheng had checked Yue Lü’s identity.

However, everyone was on guard.

Shi Qingluo did not expect Yue Lü to sacrifice himself to save Xi Rong.

When Yue Lü was rescued, his back was full of arrows and he was on his last breath.

If it wasn’t for her little husband’s superb medical skills, Yue Lü would be dead for sure.

Therefore, it was impossible for him to be putting on a show or acting. He was revealing his true feelings.

When she heard that Yue Lü was not dead, Xi Rong’s worried heart finally relaxed. “That’s good.”

“Is he awake?” she asked.

Shi Qingluo shook her head. “His injuries are a little serious. We’ve only saved him now, but he hasn’t woken up yet.”

“Old Xiao said that he might only wake up tomorrow.”

She stood up and poured the medicine that had been warm into a bowl and fed it to Xi Rong. “When you can walk again, I’ll bring you to see him.”

Xi Rong obediently finished the medicine. “Okay!”

At night, Shi Qingluo did not leave. Instead, she stayed in the tent to guard Xi Rong, afraid that she would have a fever or something.

Fortunately, Xi Rong’s physical fitness was good. She fell asleep not long after taking the medicine and did not show any abnormal symptoms.

Yue Lü, on the other hand, had a high fever.

Xiao Hanzheng fed him the antipyretic and anti-inflammatory medicine that Shi Qingluo had left for him, and also fed him the medicine that he had prescribed twice.

The next day, his body temperature returned to normal, and he woke up in the evening.
