"I never expected you to be so kind-hearted, young lady. He has already treated you so badly, yet you still think of him."

Qin Susu bit her lip, her eyes glistening with tears.

She yelled angrily at Ling Ba, "Get out!"

Ling Ba turned around: "Be careful."

"Why do you need to care?" Qin Susu sniffed, looking pitiful. "You coward, still pretending to be all sympathetic."

Ling Ba walked away from the young general's sight step by step, heading straight for Qiu Yan.

"Young General, you won't be as heartless as him, will you?"

Qin Susu's tears of anger, combined with her beautiful face, truly made her a pitiful sight.

"No, I cherish you too much to be like that good-for-nothing."

The young man put his arm around Qin Susu's shoulder and, without stopping, sniffed her hair. "My little lady smells so good. Since your cousin doesn't care about you, your brother will."

Does it smell good? Qin Susu lowered her head and sniffed her own sleeve.

She hadn't bathed since she started her journey, and after two days of trekking through mountains, she was covered in the smell of sweat.

Even she couldn't stand the smell.

Furthermore, the young man's body odor made her feel nauseous.

But at this moment, she felt lonely and helpless, and could only grit her teeth and suppress her unhappiness.

Later, after she's eaten and drunk her fill, she'll definitely teach that young general a lesson.

Soon, Ling Ba and Qiu Yan met.

Qiu Yan overheard the conversation and thought to herself, "Ling Ba is such a heartless man, he's infuriating."

However, this applies to Qin Susu.

In this critical moment, Ling Ba didn't say anything more than, "Xiao Yan, where is Ling Qi?"

"He went fishing." Qiu Yan glanced towards the mountainside.

"Fishing?" Ling Ba asked, puzzled. He had just seen Ling Ba there.

Suddenly, a loud bang...

Immediately following was the neighing of horses.

Ling Ba understood and nodded slightly.

"The fish is about to take the bait."

Cliff location,

"What's going on?" Qin Susu shrank her neck, startled.

Just as the young man was about to lead Qin Susu away from here, he was suddenly startled.

He stared at the billowing smoke in the distance, and his whole body tensed up.

"Oh no! Enemy attack! Soldiers, go over there immediately to check the situation!"

"Yes!" the surrounding soldiers shouted in unison, leaving only two attendants behind, while the rest quickly ran towards the source of the sound.

After the man left, the young general swiftly drew his sword and held it to Qin Susu's neck. "Tell me, who exactly are you?"

Qin Susu's eyes reddened, and she lowered her head again. "Young General, I am just a peasant girl. I was just abandoned by my cousin, and I'm already pitiful enough... You... you still doubt me..."

Seeing the woman cry, the young man thought to himself, "Women are such a hassle. They're always so teary-eyed."

"If it's not you, then so be it. Why are you crying?"

Judging from the woman's frail appearance, she doesn't seem like it.

If she was a spy, I would kill her once I got tired of her.

"Young lady, come with me and let's see what I'm capable of today!"

Behind them, there were as many as 30,000 troops.

He simply couldn't believe that the Dongjin soldiers would send such a large force to this desolate place.

"Okay," Qin Susu replied softly, wondering to herself who was secretly helping her.

Now that's the case, this young general is now isolated and helpless. If she doesn't act now, when will she?

The young general laughed heartily, and before he could finish speaking...

Turning his head, he saw that the woman in front of him, who had been so timid and submissive, had changed her expression.

That indifferent expression gave him a bad feeling.
