Yuan Ying still remembered that the camp’s warehouse had a limited supply of medicine.
After waking up naturally, she drove to the city to stock up.
However…
The last time, she almost emptied several pharmacies in the county town.
This time, as soon as she appeared, the clerks looked at her suspiciously.
Yuan Ying reasonably estimated that if she asked for a few hundred boxes of medicine, the clerks would immediately call the police.
So, she had no choice but to drive to the city’s pharmacies to buy medicine, constantly thinking of an excuse for buying the medicine on the way.
“I’m buying it for the crew. We’re going to film an outdoor challenge variety show near Wannan Mountain, and we urgently need these common medicines.” Finally, she came up with this explanation.
Although she was fully armed, from her clothes and figure, it was clear that she was a great beauty, and she looked like someone from the entertainment industry.
This time, Yuan Ying was able to buy medicine much more smoothly.
Because the pharmacies in the city couldn’t deliver so much goods to the countryside, Yuan Ying also hired a large truck to help transport the goods.
When Si Hongjing arrived in the evening, he was greeted by hundreds of boxes of medicine.
His eyes suddenly softened as he quietly stared through the window at Yuan Ying in the living room, who was facing away from him and making faces in the mirror.
After watching for more than ten minutes, Yuan Ying finally noticed someone in the yard.
“You’re here?” she greeted.
“Thank you.”
Since Si Hongjing met Yuan Ying, it seemed that these two words were what he said the most.
“It’s only right! After all, you gave me so many hairpins and jade stones.”
“It’s not just about that.”
“Huh?”
“Anyway… thank you.”
Thank you for helping the soldiers of Dongping Pass.
And thank you for choosing to believe him when you didn’t know the whole story.
When Deputy General Guo told him about this, his heart seemed to float above the clouds, very joyful.
Yuan Ying was confused by Si Hongjing’s thanks.
Seeing that his mood was not as low as yesterday, she asked seemingly casually:
“Did something happen yesterday?”
Si Hongjing lowered his eyes, a smile flashing in them.
Did she want to know what happened after she left?
He didn’t expose Yuan Ying:
“A few people were bought by enemy spies to spread rumors that were unfavorable to me, wanting to make me lose the support of the people and disrupt the morale of the army.”
After all, with the ‘god’ present, they didn’t dare to confront him head-on, so they could only stir up trouble among the people.
If it hadn’t been for Guo’s wife and Yuan Ying scolding those people, perhaps the entire Dongping Pass would have been filled with rumors of the ill-fated star. Invisibly, she had helped him again.
“But didn’t you say that not many people know your prince’s identit…” Yuan Ying’s voice trailed off.
This incident just shows that someone among the closest people betrayed him.
“Don’t look at me like that.” Si Hongjing smiled, but his eyes were very cold: “When he defected to the Jin Kingdom and opened the Shuoguan city gate, he was no longer my brother.”
Was the Shuoguan guard betraying him?
Unexpectedly, the Shuoguan guard was his friend.
No wonder he looked so sad when she asked him a few days ago if he had been betrayed by his brothers in the army.
Yuan Ying rubbed her forehead.
How many times had she uncovered Si Hongjing’s scars!
“Xu Jing wrote a letter to meet me, tomorrow night, outside the city,” Si Hongjing said.
This time, she couldn’t care about feeling guilty, and quickly asked:
“Are you going?”
“I want to know why he betrayed Daqian.”
Si Hongjing thought that Yuan Ying would be like Deputy General Guo and the others, advising him not to leave the city and not to approach Xu Jing.
But after he finished speaking, she suddenly stood up and returned to the room.
When she returned again, she was holding a black stick.
“This, take it for self-defense!”
“If he’s unfavorable to you, or you don’t like him, turn on the switch and stab him!”
What Yuan Ying was holding was the extended electric baton that Li Yuxin had given her.
When she pressed it, the crackling sound and lightning made Si Hongjing’s hair stand on end, and he subconsciously felt very dangerous.
…
The next day.
Deputy General Guo and his party still wanted to persuade him not to go.
But Si Hongjing directly said that in addition to giving medicine, the god also gave him a weapon for self-defense last night.
They gave up.
At night, Si Hongjing rode out of the city alone, turning on the lights that could shoot 1500 meters away, so that any ambush would be nowhere to hide.
The generals standing on the city tower saw a beam of light and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the god appeared that time, as long as light appeared in the dark night, they would subconsciously feel very safe.
And Si Hongjing had now arrived at the place they had agreed upon.
It was a small lake outside the city.
They had come here several times to drink wine under the moon, imagining that Daqian would end the chaos and unify the countries, youthful ambition, and high spirits.
Not far away.
A figure stood alone.
The light shone on him, obviously making his figure stiffen for a moment.
“You’re here.”
Xu Jing and Yuan Ying said the same words, but they were completely different for Si Hongjing.
He angrily jumped off his horse.
And directly fought with Xu Jing.
The two were about the same strength, and it would be difficult to tell the winner unless they fought to the death.
“It seems that Brother Si Hong’s injury is not serious.” Xu Jing and Si Hongjing restrained each other, deadlocked, he sighed, seemingly with concern.
Si Hongjing felt nauseous for a while, and punched him in the face while he was unprepared.
“Traitorous rebel!”
“Why did you abandon the people of Shuoguan?”
Xu Jing staggered back after being beaten, his tongue pressed against his cheek, swallowing the blood, and said: “They promised me that they would give the people of Shuoguan a way out…”
“You actually believe that group of beasts!” Si Hongjing didn’t understand, how could he be so confused.
Xu Jing didn’t explain, but instead persuaded Si Hongjing:
“What’s the use of you desperately protecting the people of Dongping Pass like this? They won’t appreciate you. After knowing your identity, they will only think that you harmed them. Where in Daqian is there a place for you?”
“Why don’t you come to the Jin Kingdom and join hands with me to realize our ambitions?”
Si Hongjing didn’t expect that Xu Jing was still thinking about pulling him into the group even now, and even the rumors about him were for this purpose.
“What I want has never been their gratitude. I am a general of Daqian, and I will be until death.”
“I only came here today to ask you why you betrayed the country.”
Xu Jing laughed as if Si Hongjing had hit his funny bone, even a little crazy:
“Betray the country?”
“Is Daqian worthy?”
“Do you think, why hasn’t the food and grass support for your Dongping Pass arrived?”
Si Hongjing’s eyes became more and more deep: “What do you know?”
“I know that if you continue to serve Daqian, you will definitely not end well.”
“Xu Jing!”
Compared to before, Xu Jing seemed to have experienced a lot, the night wind blew his hair away, and Si Hongjing actually saw a few strands of white hair in it.
“As a friend, leaving Daqian is my last piece of advice to you.”
“If you don’t want to, then when you go to the battlefield again, you will just be an enemy.”
“Take care.”
After speaking, he got on his horse and whipped it, galloping away.
The hooves stepped over, raising a cloud of dust, blinding Si Hongjing’s eyes.
When the smoke and dust dissipated, Si Hongjing looked at the direction he left, his expression became more and more serious.
Something big must have happened in the imperial city.
