At the same time, he also extended the hand with the pierced palm towards Jin Ming.
Jin Ming's cries gradually weakened, and her trembling lessened.
Then, after a sudden convulsion, he remained curled up and motionless.
Jin Jianren did not want to leave Jin Ming here, but the situation was urgent and he could not afford to delay any longer.
After about three or five breaths, seeing that he still didn't speak, Jin Jianren stepped forward.
But after taking just one step, he suddenly realized something was wrong, so he quickly took two steps and squatted down to check.
"Jin Ming?"
"Jin Ming!"
Jin Ming curled up in a ball, so Jin Jianren had to forcefully pry his hands open.
Once his hands, which were covering his face, were pried open, Jin Jianren's face turned deathly pale, and he fell backward to the ground.
On Jin Ming's face, blood and tears were mixed together, her eyes were wide open, her expression was distorted, and her pupils had already dilated.
Even so, one could still see the intense grief on his face.
A sharp cry suddenly rang out, coming from Kim Geon-in.
"I didn't use any force! I didn't use any force!"
"I...I never intended to kill you!" he shouted helplessly.
A soldier stepped forward, one of them touching Jin Ming's body, and then said in a deep voice:
"General, he... he didn't die from external injuries."
Jin Jianren used both hands and feet to crawl to Jin Ming's side, and then hugged him tightly.
"I...I really considered you a brother!..." Kim Gun-in's face was full of grief, and saliva even dripped from his mouth.
"General, it's time to go."
“They won’t hold out for long; we’ve already wasted too much time,” the soldier said.
Jin Jianren looked down at Jin Ming in his arms, unable to believe that he had died just like that.
Over the years, he has been my most loyal subordinate, and he has always carried out my words without question.
But why won't he listen to what I'm saying today?!
"Why! Why!"
"How could you be so stupid!"
"I already said this was a last resort! Do you think I wanted this?"
"Why did you fight me? Why did you even think about going back?! Why don't you value your life at all?!"
"I didn't tell you to die, how dare you die?!"
He roared to the sky, blood still flowing from his broken brow bone, the blood flowing into his eye sockets and staining his eyes blood red.
The soldiers silently stepped forward, brought strips of cloth, and quietly bandaged Jin Jianren's pierced hand.
"General, it's really time to go."
"Any further delay..."
"I know!!!" Kim Gun-in roared.
Then, he slowly lowered his head and looked at Jin Ming's distorted face. When his eyes met those wide-open eyes, he immediately looked away and simply reached out to close Jin Ming's eyelids.
Looking at that face, he fell silent for a moment.
It wasn't until the soldier reminded him again that he gradually came to his senses.
After knocking Jin Ming to the ground, Jin Jianren slowly got up and wiped the blood off his face, but what he saw in his eyes was still a blurry blood red.
"hateful!!!"
"Qin Ze! You wait for me!"
"No matter how long it takes, I will kill you!!"
A thunderous roar erupted, and Jin Jianren, without further delay, mounted his horse and led his men away.
——
"Jin Jianren, you can't escape. I will definitely take your head!"
On the galloping warhorse, Qin Ze's face was cold as he muttered to himself, his thoughts drifting back to many years ago.
The Battle of Huichang in the past.
Jin Jianren and Zhang Ran each led their troops to resist the enemy.
Zhang Ran, as the vanguard general, led his troops to engage the enemy first, while Jin Jianren followed closely behind, waiting for an opportunity to attack from the flank.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we are certain to win this battle.
The two generals who led the troops were both renowned figures in the great campaign at that time.
And the result of this battle was indeed a victory.
However, Zhang Ran and his troops, who were the first to attack, suffered heavy casualties, and even Zhang Ran himself was killed in the battle.
Afterwards, Kim Geon-in led his troops to attack and inflicted a great defeat on the enemy.
According to him, Zhang Ran was greedy for credit and acted rashly, failing to follow the plan, which led to the mishap.
But that's not the case.
Before the battle began, Zhang Ran sent a letter to his younger brother Zhang Ye, saying that if His Majesty entrusted all the troops to him, he would be very confident of a great victory.
However, His Majesty divided the troops in two, entrusting the other force to Kim Geon-in.
He and Kim Geon-in had long been at odds.
With war imminent, it is difficult to persuade His Majesty to retract his order.
This was Zhang Ran's last letter.
This is what Qin Ze learned from Zhang Ye, and the truth has gradually become clear as time goes by.
At that time, Zhang Ran failed to receive reinforcements from Jin Jianren and was caught in a fierce battle with the enemy.
They fought to the very end, and only then did Kim Geon-in arrive late, clean up the mess, and claim the victory.
As his thoughts drifted to this point, Qin Ze's face gradually flushed red, but a smile also appeared on his face—a smile born of extreme anger.
"I never expected that you, Kim Geon-in, would use this trick on your own subordinates after all these years."
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
"What a pity! You can no longer take on the spoils and reap the rewards like you did back then!"
Qin Ze looked up, his gaze fixed firmly ahead.
This time, I'll clean up the mess!
I will personally take your head!
The next instant, a loud shout came from Qin Ze's mouth:
