But what if this person tells on her behind her back?
"Don't tell the general about this, understand?" Zheng Quchi was terrified of Yuwen Sheng's crazy and neurotic behavior.
He had suspected her of joining forces with the Mo family before, and almost slapped her off a cliff to smash her to pieces. Now that he knows she almost ran to the water dungeon to "visit" an old friend, he doesn't know if he will go crazy again.
Runtu remained silent; clearly, for him, the general was the object of all his loyalty.
Zheng Quchi narrowed his eyes and threatened, "If you dare to say that, I'll tell Yuwen Sheng that it was you who didn't show up in time to stop me from wandering around, which almost caused me to accidentally enter dangerous territory. Do you think he'll believe you or me?"
"...Don't worry, Madam, Runtu won't tell."
He seems to have misjudged her before; the general's wife is probably not a naive and innocent girl, but rather a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Zheng Quchi knew that Runtu was a man of few words; once he agreed, he would never go back on his word.
She was finally relieved.
"You're here just in time. Look at my face. I need Fu Rong right now. Do you know where he is?" She lowered her hand, letting Runtu see her face.
Honestly, her face is a mess now, her features are all jumbled together, she looks like a man and a woman, and it's kind of scary.
"Madam's face... Fu Rong went up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables. If Madam is in a hurry, Runtu can take Madam up the mountain to find him."
"Hurry up, hurry up, I have things to do, but I can't show my face to anyone right now."
She waved her hand, signaling him to lead the way quickly.
But Runtu remained rooted to the spot and didn't move.
"What's wrong?"
"Does Madam intend to leave like this?"
"Then what should we do?"
Runtu carried a person who was completely wrapped up on his back and used his lightness skill to leap through the jungle. He used sound to locate people and followed the footprints left behind to track them down.
Zheng Quchi removed the cloth covering his eyes and watched as many Ye soldiers passed by, digging and searching in the mountains and forests for food and wild vegetables.
She asked Runtu, "Are we about to run out of food?"
"Madam, the general will have a solution."
“Look, along the way, almost all these streams have dried up, and Fuxian County can no longer produce grain. Everyone will go hungry from now on.” She looked at the dead fish and white stones on the riverbed and felt a pang of sadness.
"The general will find a way."
“But your general… also needs someone to share his burdens. He was in so much pain this morning that he couldn’t even eat, and this afternoon he has to leave for Jizhou to handle some business. Do you all have to rely on him to solve everything on his own?”
Although he is the guardian deity in the hearts of the Ye Kingdom and the Ye army, no one is made of iron. If his health collapses, are the rest of them just doomed?
