Within the territory of Chu.

In the endless desert, Bian Jingyan's left shoulder was ruthlessly pierced by a cold arrow. Fortunately, the arrow was not poisoned, otherwise his life would have been lost.

At this moment, he was in a deserted place with few people. The sky was covered with sand and dust, and there was no life around.

Bian Jingyan's lips were as pale as paper and as dry and cracked as land that had been dry for a long time. His face was blue and purple, and it was obvious that he had not had water for a long time.

He struggled to lift his lead-like legs, leaving deep footprints in the desert. With a glimmer of hope in his heart, he prayed that a family would miraculously appear in this desolate land.

Originally, Bian Jingyan had everything ready, and he only needed to wait for nightfall to conquer the State of Chu in one fell swoop.

However, the news leaked out from somewhere, and when they went there as planned, they encountered an ambush by the enemy.

Under the fierce attack of the enemy, the soldiers were either killed or wounded.

The enemy troops in the rear were coming in an endless stream, like a tide, and it became increasingly obvious that they were outnumbered.

If they do not evacuate decisively, these soldiers who have followed him through life and death may never return home.

Bian Jingyan gritted his teeth and resolutely led his soldiers into the desert despite being condemned for being cowardly.

He never expected that not long after he entered, a fierce sandstorm suddenly hit, with howling winds, flying sand and rocks, and in the chaos, he was separated from everyone else.

Bian Jingyan looked at the endless desert in front of him, his heart filled with despair and unwillingness.

He knew very well that if he could not find a way out at this moment, not only would his own life be in danger, but those lost soldiers would also be in danger.

He endured the pain and thirst, and continued to move forward with his strong will. Every step he took seemed to use up all his strength.

After an unknown amount of time, Bian Wunian's vision began to blur and his steps became increasingly unsteady.

But the faith in his heart has never been extinguished. He must walk out of this desert alive and seek justice for the dead and missing soldiers.

Just when he was about to faint, a faint green seemed to appear in the distance.

A glimmer of hope ignited in Bian Jingyan's heart, and he staggered towards the green with his last bit of strength...

Little did he know that the green was just an illusion in the desert.

He was so tired that he was hallucinating.

After he staggered a few steps, he finally fainted in the desert because his body could not bear the pressure.

Not long after Bian Jingyan fainted, a convoy of camels slowly came over.

The woman in front seemed to be the leader, she was wearing a veil, making it difficult to see her face clearly.

Just by looking at her graceful figure, one can guess that she must be a beautiful woman with graceful figure.

The woman had sharp eyes and soon spotted Bian Wunian lying on the ground. She frowned slightly and immediately sent someone down to check.

The man who was sent down quickly came to Bian Wunian, stretched out his hand to feel his breath, and then felt his pulse, then turned to report to the woman: "Boss, this man is still breathing, but he is injured and unconscious, and his body is very weak."

The woman hesitated for a moment and said, "Take him here and see if he can be revived."

Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly lifted Bian Wunian onto the camel.

The woman glanced at the unconscious Bian Wunian and said softly: "Keep on your way."

The convoy continued to move forward in the dust, and Bian Wunian was rescued by this mysterious convoy in a daze.

After walking in the desert for several hours, the camel caravan stopped at an inn.

This inn doesn't look big and the environment is quite clean. When I got closer, I saw a thin layer of sand and dust on the table.

A waiter was dozing off at the front desk. When a customer came, he just sniffed and continued to sleep.

The woman's entourage couldn't stand it anymore, so they slammed the table and shouted in a rough voice: "Hey, don't sleep! My boss wants to stay in the hotel!"

The waiter was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground. He stood up and saw that it was a bearded man with a cold face. He immediately smiled and asked, "Sir, do you want to stay at the hotel?"

The attendant glared at him and said unhappily, "What nonsense! Hurry up and arrange a room for us, prepare wine and food, and hurry up!"

The waiter nodded repeatedly and responded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, sir, please wait a moment, I'll be right there."

At this time, the veiled woman turned lightly, glanced around, and said softly: "Hurry up, don't delay."

The waiter heard this and hurried to prepare. Soon, the room was arranged and the food was served.

The woman walked past Bian Wunian, who was sitting on the camel's back, and asked the waiter, "Are there any superior rooms where people can rest and recover in peace?"

The waiter nodded with a smile: "Yes, our inn is built in the desert, there are not many guests, so of course there are many empty rooms!"

The waiter looked at the woman and asked curiously, "Is anyone injured?"

The woman hummed lightly.

Then he asked his followers to carry Bian Jingyan in and place him in a quiet room.

When the waiter saw the armor on Bian Jingyan, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh, he must be a deserter if he's wearing armor!"

"Because Chu was going to war with Fengcheng, they were looking for men over 18 years old to serve in the military camp. Most of the men were unwilling to do so, so they secretly escaped in the dark and windy night!"

"Some deserters checked into the inn, stayed for only one or two nights, and then left in a hurry!"

"The armor he's wearing shows that he's a general. How can he be a deserter?"

After the waiter finished speaking, he shook his head and left.

The woman sat at the table, sipping her tea thoughtfully, not knowing what she was thinking about.

"You guys take good care of that guy. His lips are pale and cracked. He must have not had water for a long time. Go up and feed him."

"Yes, boss."

It was not until the middle of the night that Bian Jingyan woke up slowly. When he opened his eyes, several bearded men were surrounding him. They were very happy to see him wake up.

One of them immediately went to inform his boss.

Bian Jingyan was already in a daze, and when he first saw them dressed in strange clothes, he thought he had gone to hell.

He closed his eyes and fainted again.

Frightened to the point of fainting.

The attendant who went to inform the boss quickly came over with the veiled woman.

Seeing Bian Jingyan fainted again, the woman frowned and asked softly, "What's going on?"

The follower looked helpless: "Boss, this kid just woke up, took a look at us, and then fainted again. He must have been scared by us."

The woman snorted softly: "Go get a basin of water and wipe his face. See if you can sober him up."

The attendant hurriedly did as he was told. After a while, he brought a basin of clean water and gently wiped Bian Jingyan's face with a wet cloth.

After a long while, Bian Jingyan finally woke up again. This time, he forced himself to stay awake. He looked at the people in front of him and asked weakly, "Where is this? Who are you?"

The woman stepped forward and said in a cold voice: "You were in our convoy. We found you in the desert and rescued you."

Bian Jingyan looked confused, trying to recall what happened before, muttering to himself: "I...why am I here?"

The woman smiled faintly: "Don't think too much about it, take care of yourself first."

Bian Jingyan nodded, but his heart was still full of doubts and uneasiness.

He suddenly thought that he and his father were acting separately, and he didn't know how his father was doing.

Will he be ambushed like him?
