Chapter 51
After Jiang Yun left, Yang Gan also came to see Lu Ling.
"General Yang." Lu Ling pretended to stand up.
"No, lie down quickly." Yang Gan raised his hand to stop Lu Ling.
"How does it feel?"
Lu Ling smiled and said, "Much better."
Yang Gan nodded, his eyes hesitant. Lu Ling saw that Yang Gan seemed to want to say something, so he asked him, "General Yang, do you have anything to say to me?"
"I, I have something to tell you, but don't be too sad after you know it. Take care of yourself." Yang Gan said cautiously.
Lu Ling didn't know what he was going to say, but hearing him say that, it was probably not a good thing. Lu Ling paused for a moment, prepared himself and looked at Yang Gan.
"You tell me, I can handle it."
"Your wound is in your lower abdomen, the military doctor said..." Yang Gan couldn't bear to say it, but he couldn't keep it from Lu Ling forever. She was the master of her own body and she had the right to know.
"The military doctor said you will never be able to have children again."
Lu Ling's expression froze and he looked at Yang Gan in disbelief.
Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes and then dripped onto the bed, leaving a puddle of water.
"What did you say?" Lu Ling looked at Yang Gan, trying to find a hint of falsehood from Yang Gan's expression.
But Yang Gan's expression was normal, even heavy.
"Are you lying to me?" Lu Ling asked Yang Gan weakly.
Yang Gan looked at Lu Ling and shook his head.
Tears were about to burst out like water and his nose felt sore, but Lu Ling controlled himself.
"You should have a good rest these days. Zhang Xunwen and I are here." After saying that, Yang Gan left.
Lu Ling's eyes just now were so distressing that he couldn't bear it.
*
These days, Lu Ling has been recuperating in the tent.
While Lu Ling was recuperating from his injuries, Bai Pu attacked him twice, but fled each time.
Although the Baipu people were defeated several times, the two cities lost by Daliang have not been recovered and are still in the hands of the Baipu people.
Lu Ling had almost recovered in the past two days and had stopped resting in bed and started going out for training. Sometimes when Yang Gan and Zhang Xunwen were discussing battle plans, Lu Ling would go over and offer advice.
Soon, they made a plan and planned to attack Baipu in two days.
At midnight the next day, Zhang Xunwen led a cavalry unit to infiltrate the Baipu camp and burn the Baipu granary. At noon, Yang Gan and Lu Ling launched a massive attack.
But plans can never keep up with changes, everything happens too fast.
Before Zhang Xunwen left the city, spies came to report that the Bai Pu army had already changed its position and was nowhere to be seen in the camp.
When the spy's news arrived, Lu Ling, Yang Gan and others were still in the tent discussing precautions during combat.
After hearing the news, Zhang Xunwen's men stopped going out.
Lu Ling felt a sense of panic because no one knew their battle plan. Even few people knew about Zhang Xunwen's mission today. Even the soldiers under his command were confused about where they were going today.
Now that Bai Pu has suddenly left, it means that there is a spy in the army, and he holds an important position in the army. Now this spy is in an unknown corner of the army, spying on their every move.
The battle plan was aborted, and Yang Gan didn't dare to continue discussing tactics with Lu Ling and the others, fearing that something might go wrong again.
The Baipu tribe has been extremely quiet these days and has not launched any more attacks. The Daliang army is eager to find this spy and dares not act rashly.
Lu Ling returned to the tent, wondering who the spy was, when suddenly, a group of people walked in.
Lu Ling quickly stood up and looked at those people.
They are Yang Gan and Zhang Xunwen.
"Catch her." Zhang Xunwen shouted.
Lu Ling's hands were clamped behind his back, and he didn't know why.
"What are you doing? Why are you arresting me?" Lu Ling asked.
"Why? Because you are a spy from Baipu Kingdom." Zhang Xunwen said with hatred.
"What evidence?"
Zhang Xunwen walked up to Lu Ling and said, "Evidence? Of course I have evidence, otherwise I wouldn't come to arrest you."
"Take her away." Yang Gan looked at the two of them and said.
Lu Ling was taken to the prison in the Shuzhou prefecture. This place was similar to the Beijing prison where Lu Ling had been before: just as damp and dark, with just as many screams.
I don’t know if the person next to me is crazy, but he kept howling like a ghost, which made my scalp tingle.
Lu Ling hugged her knees tightly with both hands. The light from the small window just happened to shine on her, bringing a little starlight to her in the darkness.
She was thinking about what had happened in the past few days, one thing after another, leaving her no time to think.
Shen Wangyou is the second prince of Baipu Kingdom. Lin Yao and Lin Yu are also Baipu people. There is a spy in the army, and he "became" a spy.
It's all so ridiculous.
His wounds had not yet healed, and in this damp prison, Lu Ling felt even more pain in his stomach.
Lu Ling was lying on the ground, sweating profusely, and he didn't know when he fell asleep.

"Your Highness, please." The jailer led his men to Lu Ling's cell. "This is Lu Ling."
"Got it." Bai Xichen handed the silver in his hand to the jailer, "I want to catch up with my friend. You go out and wait."
When the jailer saw the money, he smiled widely and quickly replied, "Okay, Your Highness, please take your time chatting. I promise no one will disturb you."
The jailer did not open the door, but just let Bai Xichen watch Lu Ling outside the door.
A small window in the cell brought a little light into the cell, and that beam of light happened to shine on Lu Ling, bringing a touch of warmth to Lu Ling.
Bai Xichen felt a little distressed when he saw Lu Ling's appearance.
"Miss Lu, Miss Lu..." Bai Xichen called out several times before Lu Ling woke up.
When Lu Ling saw Bai Xichen, he was a little surprised. He slowly got up and walked over.
"My Lord, why are you here?"
Bai Xichen looked at Lu Ling with heartache.
"I came here to see how my old friend was tortured," Bai Xichen joked.
Lu Ling looked at him without saying anything. She didn't have time to joke with him right now.
Seeing that Lu Ling was unhappy, Bai Xichen quickly stopped smiling.
"I came here today to ask Miss Lu what her plans are."
Bai Xichen didn't believe that Lu Ling would just sit in jail and wait to die. When he heard about Lu Ling's situation today, he hurried to see Lu Ling to see if he could help.
Lu Ling actually didn't know what she should do. Her thoughts were in a mess and she couldn't think.
"I don't know. Maybe I'll wait for General Yang and others to give me justice." Lu Ling said.
"But Miss Lu, you were captured by General Yang. Do you still expect him to give you justice?"
"You mean..."
Lu Ling knew what Bai Xichen meant. Her murder and imprisonment were not someone else's intention, but Yang Gan's. These were all Yang Gan's intentions.
But why did he do this?
"I'm afraid this won't be good for him." Lu Ling couldn't believe it and was still looking for reasons for him.
"Does the emperor want to get rid of you?" Bai Xichen said.
Lu Ling stood there in a daze, unable to believe it. How could this be possible? If the emperor wanted to get rid of him, why would he let him lead his troops to Shuzhou?
"As far as I know, it was the current Daliang Emperor who murdered your father, and all this was simply because your father posed a threat to him."
"What did you say? How do you know?" Lu Ling was really confused this time. How could the emperor kill her father? She had been looking for clues for a long time, but Bai Xichen actually knew the real murderer like this.
"Miss Lu, you saw me when you and Yang Gan went out to look for medicine in the capital that day, right?" Yang Gan held a fan in his hand and fanned gently.
Lu Ling nodded hesitantly. She did see Bai Xichen that day, and she was wondering why Bai Xichen came here.
"I went to Beijing on business those days, and when I was done I thought of my good friend, the Prince of Chang'an. We reminisced about the past at a teahouse, and on the way there we were being followed. When we discovered who was following us and tried to catch him, he had vanished..."
When the two of them reminisce about the past, they just talk about their recent situation. There is nothing they cannot talk about.
Bai Xichen drank too much tea and wanted to go to the toilet, so he went out for a while. Prince Chang'an was alone inside.
When Bai Xichen came back again, he found that King Chang'an had been knocked unconscious and fell on the table, with a jade pendant with a purple tassel next to him.
Bai Xichen quickly woke up King Chang'an and asked him if he recognized the jade pendant. King Chang'an was stunned when he saw the jade pendant, and then laughed.
"I lost, and I lost to him."
Bai Xichen knew who King Chang'an was talking about losing to, but he just pursed his lips and said nothing.
Prince Chang'an picked up the jade pendant and said, "Look, this jade pendant was given to him by my father himself. I was young at that time and envied his jade pendant. Later, I secretly took a look at his jade pendant. He saw it and told me that he would give it to me if I lost."
The King of Chang'an sneered, threw his head back and laughed, saying, "Everyone thinks he is a gentleman, but no one knows how despicable he is."
Bai Xichen chatted with King Chang'an for a while that day and then left because he had important things to do.
The King of Chang'an also told him that today's farewell might be a farewell forever.
What he said came true.
Bai Xichen left the city and the next news he heard about King Chang'an was his death.
"Later I found out that the jade pendant was actually related to your father's death." Bai Xichen said.
Lu Ling thought back to what had happened before and felt that everything made sense. So that's how it was.
It’s a pity that I have been serving the emperor and waiting at his beck and call.
"Do you still think Yang Gan can give you justice now?" Bai Xichen asked Lu Ling.
Lu Ling naturally no longer believed in Yang Gan. It seemed that his imprisonment today was also Yang Gan's masterpiece. He had always obeyed the emperor's orders, so how could it have nothing to do with him?
Then Lu Ling thought of something else: "Your Majesty, could you please send a message back to the capital for me? My uncle and cousin are still in the army, and I'm afraid the emperor will take action against them."
Bai Xichen smiled and said, "Don't worry, someone had anticipated this and sent a message back to the capital early on to have your uncle and the others taken to a safe place."
"Who?" Lu Ling had a vague answer in his mind, but he still didn't dare to believe it.
Bai Xichen smiled and said, "Since you already know the answer, why bother asking me again? I just want to say that if he is not good enough, you can consider me."
The corners of the man's lips curled up, and he looked determined to win.
