Chapter 158 Then I Will Make a Blood Alliance
"Life-saving card?"
"We are exiles. Even if the war ceases, our life in Wuheng will be full of difficulties. I want the general to give me this life-saving card, which will allow me to freely travel to Wuheng and do business with the small town. In exchange for a meager income, I can support the lives of my people."
Baal laughed out loud. "All you want is a customs document? That's all? If you want a better life, why not let me give you real money?"
“Mountains of gold and silver will eventually be hollowed out, but a road will remain a road forever as long as someone walks on it.”
These words enlightened Bal, and he looked at the woman in front of him with even more admiration.
He immediately drew his knife and slashed at his palm: "Then I will swear an oath in blood."
The eldest aunt tutted her words and politely declined with both hands: "We won't ally with blood!! You can even sign a contract if you want."
Ruan Mian was amused and simply caught a drop of his blood. Seeing the pen, ink, paper and inkstone beside him, he pressed his fingerprint on it and wrote the contents of the contract.
"We are a family of merchants, so we use paperwork as our contract. However, I have a request for you, General."
"It's not something that can be done overnight to treat so many people, but I've been out for a while, and my family is bound to be worried. So I want to go find my sister and tell her I'm safe. If the general is worried, you can refuse or have someone follow me. I have no ulterior motives!"
She just mentioned it, and it didn't matter if she was rejected. The space spirit beast would find Ruan Qing's whereabouts for her.
Unexpectedly, General Bal was an extremely straightforward person and agreed immediately.
"Why not have someone accompany you to look for your family?"
As long as she doesn't deceive him or play tricks on him, he will admire such a woman.
If she dared to play tricks, Bal and her people would be uprooted, leaving no one alive.
Ruan Mian thanked Bal here, explained the key points of isolation in the ward, and then rode away on horseback.
And no one was sent to follow.
The two men rode on the back of the big white tiger at a speed comparable to that of a car, and whizzed through the mountain jungle without any obstacles.
"Mianmian, do you think General Baal trusts us? He doesn't even send anyone to keep an eye on us. What if we run away?"
"For him, ordinary people can't escape from his palm. As long as he wants, he has the means and manpower to deal with two ordinary women and children."
"He doesn't know that we're not ordinary women or children, hahaha. But if we can stop the war this time and have the documents to go to Lanqiang, then doing business won't be easy, right?"
At this moment, Ruan Mian suddenly received the signal sent by the deer, and a route automatically generated in his mind, leading to where Ruan Qing was.
"There's news about Ruan Qing."
However, when they arrived there, they found Ruan Qing lying flat on a swamp covered with reeds, struggling to pull someone's hand.
There were two people covered in mud beside the reeds, and there were three more people stuck in the swamp.
Ruan Qing used up all her strength. She was sweating and dirty, but she did not care about her own safety at all. She tried her best to rescue those who accidentally fell into the swamp.
When she and her sister went to the hot spring, they passed by a small piece of soft land. At that time, her sister told her how to rescue herself or others when facing such soft land.
She remembered that moment.
Now she learned what Ruan Mian had done before. She first collected all the reeds and spread them flat on the mud. She lay sideways and pulled the person sideways little by little.
She told those who were stuck in the quagmire not to struggle, as the more they moved, the deeper they would sink.
With patience, she slowly pulled herself out of the quagmire, but fortunately she didn't fall too deep.
Among them was Huo Zong.
He encouraged Ruan Qing and other soldiers, and stayed motionless in the mud. Even when the mud reached his waist as time passed, he did not disturb Ruan Qing.
Seeing her rescue one person after another, Huo Zong felt very relieved and grateful to her.
Now, as a general, he fell into the enemy's trap and became a defeated general. It was his fate to die here.
It’s a pity that I have spent half my life in the military, but I didn’t die on the battlefield.
In despair, Ruan Qing saw Ruan Mian and the others!
"Sister! Aunt!"
At that moment, it was as if I saw the hope of life. I cried with joy and my emotions were greatly fluctuating.
But Ruan Mian had no time to talk to her, because she saw that Huo Zong had fallen very deeply, so she immediately worked together with her aunt to pull the large body out of the mud.
With their help, the remaining three people all made it ashore alive.
Ruan Qing was delighted to see Huo Zong was still alive: "General Huo, you are okay!"
However, she was already exhausted at this moment. As soon as she finished speaking, she could not resist the fatigue and suddenly fainted!
"Miss Qing!"
Huo Zong quickly supported her and was also very anxious.
Ruan Mian took it and looked at it. After finding that it was nothing serious, she let her aunt stay with her.
"Ruan Qing is fine, just take a rest."
The aunt carefully wiped the dirt off her face and sighed.
"This child used to be a pampered girl, raised in the palm of my hand, but now she can do anything. She even dared to bravely venture into the jungle alone to report the news! In such a dangerous place, with nothing, she still wants to rescue people."
"No, I have to talk to her about it later. The premise of saving others is to save yourself. You can only do this when you are sure of your own safety. If anything happens to her, my brother and sister-in-law will die of grief."
There is something else that is more urgent.
Ruan Mian looked at Huo Zong and asked, "General Huo, why are you here? Do you know what the Xuanjia Army is doing..."
"We were tricked into coming here by the Xuanjia Army. That damn Li Yinglong was planning to sneak around and wipe out the Lanqiang Army, but ended up letting us fall into this quagmire!"
"All the brothers in the team are in here. The few of us who came later are only able to survive thanks to Miss Qing who arrived in time, dissuaded us and helped to pull others out."
"I already know that the Black Armor Army is rebelling. They are colluding with the enemy, working together from within and without, and are planning to kill their own people! Then they can take away the merits and use them as they please in the imperial court..."
"General, the man behind the Black Armor Army is King Yan."
"You mean... Prince Yan has rebelled?!"
"It's hard to explain the details now. Once you're safe, I'll come talk to you and explain everything. Your Excellency is also investigating the Prince of Yan's followers. I'll tell you once I've brought you back to the house safely."
"How many of our own people are left in the barracks now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Huo Zong, a tall man, actually shed tears.
"I'm afraid the military camp has been captured by the enemy. Those brothers..."
