"Ling Qi, don't go! Please, let me see the general one last time, I beg you."
"The general doesn't want to see you!" Ling Qi paused slightly, then said sharply:
"Fengqi, do you like him that much?"
For him, she abandoned her usual aloofness and humbled herself to beg him.
Feng Qi shook her head.
"No, I only have respect for Your Highness."
She was loyal to Qin Feng, even to the point of sacrificing her own life.
Ling Qi's body stiffened.
He turned around, his body moving uncontrollably, and pulled her into his arms.
He dreamed of this beautiful scene countless times.
But in every scene, Feng Qi ruthlessly pushes him away.
But now... a familiar body, but a strange Feng Qi.
Feng Qi closed her eyes, letting Ling Qi hold her, her breathing trembling slightly.
A soft touch came from my lips.
Feng Qi suddenly opened her eyes and quickly pushed Ling Qi away.
She ran away.
Ling Qi smiled bitterly, watching Feng Qi's departing figure, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
"Where do you think you're going!" Just then, Captain Qin caught up, panting.
Seeing that only Ling Qi remained in front of him, his eyes narrowed with rage. Did he really want to execute Ling Qi on the spot?
"Ling Qi, how can you do this to the General?" he repeated his previous words.
"I'm sorry!" Ling Qi said firmly, "If the general wakes up, I will accept whatever punishment I may receive."
"You! Stubborn fool!" Captain Qin gritted his teeth in anger.
suddenly……
The sound of horses galloping in formation reached my ears.
"There's an enemy presence!" Captain Qin suppressed his anger, his eyes filled with vigilance.
"Let's go!" Ling Qi and Captain Qin exchanged a glance, and the two quickly rushed towards the camp.
They didn't have time to think, and quickly disappeared into the distance.
Upon reaching the outer perimeter of the camp, Ling Yun and Ling Zhi both appeared.
"Ling Qi, Commandant Qin, where did you go?" Ling Yun asked.
“We were just discussing military matters, but we couldn’t find either of you,” Ling Zhi echoed.
Judging from the expressions on their faces, they were clearly relaxed and at ease.
This left Commandant Qin completely bewildered.
With things so dire, why are they still standing here like nothing's wrong?
"My two lieutenants, the enemy is here! You still have the mind to discuss this?" Captain Qin said anxiously, about to rush into the camp to check on the general's condition.
But Ling Qi grabbed his elbow. "Captain Qin, we're on the same side."
"Let go of me!" Captain Qin snapped, shaking off Ling Qi's wrist.
His impression of Ling Qi has now completely worsened.
Ling Qi didn't care at all.
"They are not enemy troops, but our own people."
He took a closer look at the faintly visible procession in the distance.
There weren't many people; I'd estimate around six hundred.
"One of our own?" Captain Qin didn't believe it, but the next moment, upon recognizing the figure on horseback, his previously cold face instantly broke into a beaming smile.
"It's Brother Yuan, he's here."
He laughed heartily, his expression changing faster than turning the pages of a book.
He was originally cursing Qin Feng's ancestors for eighteen generations.
"Xiao Yan is here?" As the voice asked, Ling Qi turned around and saw that Qiu Dafu had appeared behind them at some point.
Will Xiaoyan come?
Ling Qi looked at the distant procession with suspicion.
Qiu Dafu searched diligently for Qiu Yan's figure.
Seeing that everyone was dressed in men's clothing, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
These past few days, because of Gu Qian's injuries, he had been hoping that his eldest niece could come and help.
Of course, he had also heard about his niece's trip to the Western Regions from Ling Qi, which is why he was so hopeful.
He knew that since his release from prison, his niece's mysterious medical skills had improved by leaps and bounds, witnessed by the villagers of Lingnan.
