My vicious dog, my horse, I can do whatever I want with it

The cold water poured over his head made Wen Nian sober up a lot, and Zong Yanli's words echoed over and over again in his mind.

woman……

How could it be a woman?

Wen Nian wiped his face fiercely to calm himself down.

Zong Yanli didn't know how long she had slept in a daze until she felt wetness on her lips. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Wen Nian with his upper body naked, holding his underwear in his hand and wringing out water to feed her.

Zong Yanli opened his mouth and drank it bit by bit, and saw Wen Nian's calm brows against the light.

Day after day of training in the army has made his body stronger. He is no longer the thin and withered appearance when they first met. His brows are cold and his eyes are dark. He slowly breathed a sigh of relief after watching Zong Yanli wake up after drinking water.

He half-knelt in front of Zong Yanli, having returned to his usual posture, as if he had easily accepted the fact that Zong Yanli was a woman.

"Captain, I went out to check and there are no signs of pursuers around. It is safe here for the time being." Wen Nian said in a deep voice, "But we don't have enough dry food. We can only stay for five days at most."

"Yeah." Zong Yanli responded calmly, lowering his eyes to look at the bandaged wound on his body. The bleeding seemed to have stopped.

"This place is still within the territory of Gao State, and our army cannot come to help." Zong Yanli said as he lay down to recuperate: "We will leave after we finish our dry food."

Wen Nian responded in a low voice, stood up and prepared to go look under the waterfall to see if he could find some food. Where there is water, there will be animals, but it takes some luck and skill to catch enough.

Perhaps it was God's will, or perhaps Wen Nian had some skills, as he actually managed to catch two fish in the pool under the waterfall. In the evening of that day, Wen Nian made a fire and roasted the fish for Zong Yanli to eat. Although there was no seasoning, it was extremely delicious to be able to eat a bite of fish at this time.

Wen Nian didn't dare to leave the fire, fearing that the fire would attract the enemy at night. He put out the fire and smoke, then sat aside and ate a few bites of dry food.

At night, Zong Yanli had a fever, so Wen Nian went to the waterfall again and again to wet his clothes and wipe her body to dissipate the heat.

For five whole days, Wen Nian stayed by Zong Yanli's side without leaving her side. He only ate two bites of food a day and went to the waterfall to drink water when he was hungry. Most of the time, he sat alone in the corner with his back to Zong Yanli, and only went to help her when she needed help.

At first Zong Yanli felt a little awkward, but at this time he had to rely on Wen Nian, and this was not the time to be shy.

She could only accept it calmly and never act stubbornly to avoid getting more seriously injured.

After five days, all the dry food was gone and they set off again.

"Captain, are you okay?" Wen Nian asked, frowning at Zong Yanli.

"Don't talk nonsense." Zong Yanli picked up his long sword, supported himself to stand up, raised his eyes and said: "Let's go."

Zong Yanli and Wen Nian climbed out of the cave and carefully observed the surroundings. When they walked out of the gravel valley, they found that the place was full of traces of searching. Even their horses had been taken away. Now they could only walk back.

Wen Nian observed for a moment and said, "Those people must have searched here many times and gave up after finding nothing."

Zong Yanli nodded, pointed in a direction, and walked forward with Wen Nian.

Zong Yanli was still seriously injured, so it was not easy for him to walk now. Fortunately, this place was very close to the border of Wu State. After walking for a whole day, the two finally saw the border stone tablet.

They finally returned to their homeland.

Wen Nian carried Zong Yanli on his back for another two hours and finally met the soldiers sent by Zong Yanhongjing to look for someone. He then successfully returned to Pingnan Camp.

In the tent, Zong Yanli sat by the bed, drinking water from a bowl. The curtain was opened, and Zong Yanhongjing walked in quickly: "Ali!"

"Father." Zong Yanli covered his abdomen and tried to get up.

"Don't move. How is your injury?" Zong Yanhongjing pursed his lips tightly and stared at Zong Yanli, saying, "Why hasn't the military doctor arrived yet?"

"Don't worry, father. It's just a minor injury." Zong Yanli naturally didn't let the military doctor check it. Instead, he raised his eyes and said calmly, "Is Princess Gao safe?"

Zong Yanhongjing looked at Zong Yanli, who was not hurt at all, and frowned with some worry. He took a deep breath and said, "Princess Gao has been protected by General Chen. Apart from being frightened, there is nothing wrong. But what happened to you during your visit?"

Zong Yanli knew that Wu State was still unaware of the civil strife in Gao State, so Zong Yanli put on a serious face and told them everything he knew.

The more Zong Yanhongjing listened, the more frightened he became. He understood more and more how dangerous Zong Yanli's trip was. If it weren't for his alertness and planning of everything, most of them would have probably died in Gao State.

"What an ambitious Gao State!" Zong Yanhongjing suddenly slammed his fist on the table. He never expected that Gao State had changed its owner.

"The alliance has been concluded. Gaoguo's actions are unforgivable." Zong Yanhongjing suddenly stood up and said, "You should take good care of your injuries. I will come to see you in a few days."

Zong Yanhongjing immediately brought the news back to General Chen, determined to gain some more benefits from Gao Guo.

Zong Yanli didn't care about the matter anymore and asked Wen Nian to get medicine and bandages from the military doctor. Since he had been taking care of him for many days, he let Wen Nian do the job of applying the medicine and re-bandaging the wound. He also cleaned the dirt on his body and changed his clothes.

"Captain!" Wen Nian then came out holding Zong Yanli's dirty clothes and the blood-soaked white cloth, and saw Monk Qi, Huo Wenqi and others in front of him.

When Monk and his companions saw the bloody gauze, their faces changed drastically. They no longer cared about anything else and rushed into the tent shouting, as if they were afraid that if they were a second late, they would not be able to see Zong Yanli for the last time.

Zong Yanli, who was tying his belt, looked up and met the big faces of Monk and the others.

She put on her coat slowly and said, "What are you calling for?"

Monk's sorrowful mood got stuck in his throat. Looking at Zong Yanli who was sitting upright beside the bed, he looked like he could kill a cow. How could he look like he was about to die?

"Hey, captain, are you okay?" Monk stuttered and walked forward to ask.

"It's just a minor injury. I won't die." Zong Yanli replied calmly.

"I told you! The military doctor hasn't even come yet, so our captain must be fine." Meng Qi was overjoyed. He walked over with a laugh, sat down at the table and said, "We were really scared to death. Captain, where have you and Wen Nian been hiding? You've been hiding for so many days!"

"I thought..." Monkey felt very uncomfortable.

The first thing they did after returning to the camp was to find Zong Yanhongjing and beg General Zong Yan to rescue people quickly. However, they could only search within our country and could not easily step into the territory of Gao State.

After searching for many days without any trace of Zong Yanli and Wen Nian, Meng Qi and his companions wished they could kill their way back to Gao State.
