Zuo Ye saw this and had no choice but to turn and walk towards the woman. The woman looked smug and kept winking at him.
Suddenly, Zuo Ye turned sharply and threw two darts with extreme speed. In the blink of an eye, the two Northern Qi soldiers holding Zuo An fell.
The darts hit their foreheads precisely.
Zuo Ye lunged forward and caught Zuo An in his arms.
The woman was startled and immediately grabbed the long spear from beside the bed, lunging at Zuo Ye.
Just then, a woman in pink clothes suddenly appeared and kicked the shaft of the spear away.
“Guai Bao!” Zuo Ye shouted in surprise.
“Husband, I couldn’t find you at the military camp. Xiao Yun told me you came alone to rescue Xiao An!” Bai Sheng said urgently, wielding a large saber and fighting the woman.
At this moment, countless Northern Qi soldiers poured in through the entrance. Zuo Ye, holding Zuo An with his left hand, kicked over several Northern Qi soldiers and seized their weapons. With his right hand, he swung his saber, blocking the soldiers outside the tent.
Bai Sheng looked at the woman in the sheer gauze dress and sneered loudly, “You slutty fox! How dare you try to seduce my man!” At this moment, Bai Sheng felt that referring to herself as “this seat,” a term commonly used by powerful CEOs in dramas, made her sound sufficiently domineering.
“Are you, this little slut, that handsome man’s mistress?” the woman fiercely thrust her spear at Bai Sheng, her eyes burning with jealousy.
Bai Sheng swung her saber with all her might and chopped at the woman. “What mistress? I am his lawfully wedded wife! I am nobler and more beautiful than you, a low-class creature who was unwanted even when you offered yourself!”
Bai Sheng’s saber severed the woman’s spear, and the immense force staggered the woman back several steps.
The woman turned to flee.
Bai Sheng lunged forward, grabbed her sheer gauze skirt, and yanked her back.
The moment the woman turned around, Bai Sheng raised her saber and ruthlessly sliced at the woman’s chest, shouting madly, “Bitch, how dare you seduce my man!”
Two thick chunks of flesh were sliced off the woman’s chest, and blood spurted out. She wailed and screamed, her eyes red, and she grabbed the broken spear from the ground, thrusting it at Bai Sheng desperately.
Zuo Ye glanced back and saw the two bloody chunks of flesh on the ground. He was inwardly surprised, thinking his wife’s combat power tonight was off the charts, exceptionally fierce.
Bai Sheng flickered and swung her saber again, slashing at the woman’s backside. “Bitch! You dare to seduce my man! You dare to injure my nephew! I’ll slice off your backside!”
As Bai Sheng’s saber fell, two more pieces of white flesh were sliced from the woman’s buttocks.
The woman screamed again and collapsed in a pool of blood.
More and more Northern Qi soldiers poured in, and the tent was crushed. Zuo Ye rushed to Bai Sheng’s side. “Wife, let’s go!”
Bai Sheng wanted to slash the slut’s face a few more times, but Zuo Ye pulled her away by her clothes.
Zuo Ye carried Zuo An on his shoulder, hacking a bloody path with his saber and leading Bai Sheng out of the tent. As they left, Bai Sheng willed their arsenal and warhorses into her spatial dimension.
The Northern Qi soldiers pursued them into the dense forest, but within moments, the three had vanished.
The leading general ordered some soldiers to continue the pursuit while the others returned.
The camp descended into chaos. Some Northern Qi soldiers shouted, “Our weapons and warhorses are gone! We’ve fallen for the enemy’s diversion tactic!”
“Doctor! Doctor! The general is severely injured!”
…
In the spatial dimension, Bai Sheng and Zuo Ye immediately placed Zuo An on a bed. Zuo An was covered in injuries, his ribs were broken in several places, his left leg was fractured, and his right arm was broken.
Bai Sheng was heartbroken. After feeding him some internal healing medicine, she quickly realigned his broken bones and gave him some spiritual spring water.
After returning to the camp, the three emerged from the spatial dimension.
Seeing the three return, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Shi Sheng and Da Li ran over to catch Zuo An.
Seeing Zuo An covered in bandages, Zuo Yun and the other children cried and rushed over, calling out to Zuo An.
“Little An is fine now, don’t worry. You must be more careful next time and reflect on your actions today,” Bai Sheng said gently.
“I understand, sister-in-law. I… I will never do it again,” Zuo Yun sobbed.
Zuo Ye looked at Zuo Yun, his brow still furrowed with anger. “You five, come here!”
Outside the tent, Zuo Yun and the four other children knelt on the ground, their heads hanging.
Zuo Ye looked at them sternly. “Before, you kept clamoring to come to the military camp. Did you think you were amazing just because you knew some martial arts? Did you think you were fearless on the battlefield?
Myopic fools, frogs in a well! What are your little cat-and-mouse skills compared to anything? Today’s incident shows how weak you are!
Disobeying orders, acting recklessly, being outmatched, and causing your comrade to be captured and almost fall into the enemy’s hands! If you were real soldiers, you would have been beheaded!”
“Big brother, I was wrong,” Zuo Yun started crying again.
“Is it over with just ‘I was wrong’? Do you know Zuo An was almost beaten to death? Because of your arrogance and disregard for military discipline, you almost killed your comrade!” Zuo Ye berated. “In the military camp, mistakes are punished according to military regulations. Starting tomorrow, you five will run ten kilometers every day, practice martial arts for two hours, and memorize the military books stipulated by your sister-in-law until they are ingrained in your minds! Continue this for three months! If you fail, you will never be allowed to join the army!”
“Yes!” the five children said in unison.
“You will all remain kneeling! Get up and go to sleep after an hour, and wake up for your run at Yin Shi tomorrow!” Zuo Ye said, then turned and entered the tent.
“Yes!” The five children straightened their bodies.
With Fengcheng lost, over twenty thousand Great Xia soldiers became Qinghuang captives, which was bound to enrage the Great Xia court. To prevent the Great Xia court from having the capacity to deal with Qinghuang, Bai Sheng originally planned to flash back to the capital of Great Xia with Zuo Ye tonight and thoroughly ransack the Princess’s manor and the palace.
However, she had not anticipated today’s events, and their supply of sleeping medicine had also run out.
Therefore, the two agreed to go to the Great Xia capital two days later, during which Bai Sheng would use the time to refine more sleeping medicine.
Both of them were covered in bloodstains. Zuo Ye directly scooped Bai Sheng into the pond in a princess carry.
“Husband, was that female general good-looking today?” Bai Sheng splashed water at Zuo Ye, asking with a smile.
Zuo Ye replied without hesitation, “Not good-looking. In my eyes, she was just a piece of stinking pork. Even being near her makes me feel sick and want to vomit.”
What? That woman touched you? Bai Sheng regretted not slicing up that woman’s face a few more times.
“No, absolutely not. If she tried to touch me, I wouldn’t let her lay a hand on me,” Zuo Ye quickly explained. “Guai Bao, I’m telling the truth. You know I never lie. In this life, in the next life, for all eternity, your husband will only let you touch him.”
As he spoke, he took Bai Sheng’s hand and placed it on him. Bai Sheng giggled shyly.
After a while, splashes began to erupt in the deep pond again.
Humming and the other creatures had long since retreated far away.
