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

The enemy soldier who was thrown down seemed to have his spine broken directly by a pair of huge hands. The surrounding enemy soldiers were so horrified that they retreated half a step in fear.

Seeing the enemy raising their halberds and stabbing at Shi Potian's waist and abdomen, Zong Yanli shouted and threw the long sword in his hand, directly cutting off the halberd behind Shi Potian.

"Shi Potian, I'm here to help you." Zong Yanli leaped into the encirclement and stood behind Shi Potian. She used her thin body to hold Shi Potian's back, as if telling him to lean on her if he couldn't hold on.

"Zong Yanli?" Shi Potian's eyes were already a little blurry. With the arrival of Zong Yanli, he staggered unconsciously and was already shaky.

"Reinforcements have arrived, you are safe." Zong Yanli's voice came from behind him. The person who was leaning against his back was not even as tall as his shoulder, but at this moment Shi Potian felt tears welling up in his eyes.

"...I am the only one left." Shi Potian's battle axe had been chopped off and thrown away somewhere, his hands were covered in blood and hung at his sides, his eyes were blurred and his voice was hoarse.

All the brothers around him died, and he was the only one left.

Zong Yanli felt a pang in his heart, and then he saw Meng Qi rushing in. He shouted angrily, "Even if it's just you, you can't let our brothers die in vain!"

"Shi Potian, are you still able to fight?" Zong Yanli's voice rang in Shi Potian's ears like a huge bell.

Shi Potian's emotions, which were about to collapse, gathered again at this moment. His entire body's breath tightened, his eyes suddenly widened, and he shouted angrily: "Yes! I can still fight!"

Zong Yanli turned his head and smiled: "Then - fight!"

That person was clearly in the encirclement, but he still displayed the aura of a hunter.

The leader of the enemy army in the distance witnessed this scene with his own eyes. He was shocked and sighed: "I didn't expect that Wu State actually had such a fierce general..."

They had been planning to surround and kill Shi Potian here, but now they obviously had no chance. The enemy general gave the order without hesitation: "Don't waste any more troops to encircle and suppress him. It will only result in the death of a man."

The enemy troops appear to be retreating.

Zong Yanli didn't want to fight anymore, so she started to retreat with Shi Potian.

"Monk Qi, take good care of Shi Potian." Zong Yanli handed Shi Potian to Monk Qi and turned around to help Wen Nian.

It would be more accurate to say that he was going to fight with Wen Nian rather than to help him.

Hu Zhiyong gathered the remaining troops and prepared to head to Shouxi County. He turned around and saw Wen Nian, who was killing madly and no one dared to approach him. He shouted anxiously but found that Wen Nian ignored him. He didn't know what to do.

"Zong Yanli!" He was just about to ask someone to tie up Wen Nian first, but before he gave the order, he saw Zong Yanli rushing towards Wen Nian, and Wen Nian's spear stabbed towards Zong Yanli without hesitation. This scene really scared Hu Zhiyong.

Clang——!

The two of them fought for no apparent reason. Just when Hu Zhiyong thought that something bad was going to happen, he saw that Zong Yanli seemed to have completely seen through Wen Nian's movements. He suppressed Wen Nian's spear with brute force and knocked Wen Nian unconscious with a neat knife-hand move.

"Someone, drag him away!" There was a hint of hostility in Zong Yanli's eyes. He dragged Wen Nian out from the pile of dead bodies as if he was dragging a dead dog.

"Uh..." Hu Zhiyong was speechless for a moment as he watched Zong Yanli's skillful movements, and felt that Zong Yanli was really different from others.

Hu Zhiyong led his team to evacuate, and by the time he caught up with Zong Yanhongjing, they had already arrived in Shouxi County.

Zong Yanhongjing was negotiating with King Xuan. Hu Zhiyong and Zong Yanli waited for a while. When Zong Yanhongjing personally sent King Xuan out, Zong Yanli looked up.

He Ruiming looks like a very good person. Not only is he gentle and elegant, but he also seems to have a natural affinity. Among the many princes, only Prince Xuan has the best popularity. Everyone who comes to Shouxi County is treated as a guest, and Prince Xuan also has a very good reputation outside.

"Thank you so much, Your Highness King Xuan!" Outside the tent, Zong Yanhongjing bowed again to express his gratitude.

"General Zong Yan, you don't have to be polite. We have the responsibility to protect our country." He Ruiming was very righteous. He personally helped Zong Yan Hongjing up. He saw Hu Zhiyong and Zong Yanli and nodded cordially, saying, "General, military affairs are urgent. I will go back for the time being."

"If you have any difficulties, General, just let us know." He Ruiming's words almost instantly won everyone's favor.

"Come here, take His Royal Highness Prince Xuan to the county town." Zong Yanhongjing thanked again, turned around and gave instructions.

After King Xuan left, Hu Zhiyong led Zong Yanli and Wang Kangcheng into the tent.

Zong Yanli keenly noticed that when Zong Yanhongjing sat down, he supported his waist and abdomen with his hands. Although there was no change in his expression, Zong Yanli still realized that Zong Yanhongjing must have been injured.

Hu Zhiyong stepped forward and said, "I am late, please forgive me, General!"

Zong Yanhongjing waved his hands and said, "General Hu, don't blame yourself. Nankang was too cunning. He actually sold his flesh and blood to borrow troops from Jin to attack Wu. It's really hateful!"

"Our army suffered heavy losses this time, and this general has asked His Majesty for help." Zong Yanhongjing took a breath and continued, "Now we can only stay in Shouxi County temporarily to catch our breath for a while."

"What do you mean, General? King Xuan just came. Isn't he going to send troops?" Hu Zhiyong was stunned when he heard this and his eyes widened.

Zong Yanhongjing shook his head and said with a hint of mockery in his eyes: "King Xuan's duty is to protect Shouxi County. The troops in the county should naturally be kept to defend the city. How could they be used by us?"

He had no intention of asking King Xuan for help, so he closed his eyes and said, "It doesn't matter. Being able to camp here is the best outcome."

The expression on Hu Zhiyong's face changed again and again. He seemed to have figured something out. He just gritted his teeth and cursed secretly, then lowered his head to report on the situation of this rescue mission.

"Fortunately, you arrived in time, otherwise the left army..." Zong Yanhongjing's face was also full of pain, and his Adam's apple rolled as he swallowed the rest of the words. He asked Hu Zhiyong to go down first to settle the troops, and raised his eyes to keep Zong Yanli to talk.

"Father, are you injured?" After the people in the tent left, Zong Yanli stepped forward and said with a slightly gloomy brow.

"It's just a minor injury." Zong Yanhongjing relaxed a little, leaned back and looked at Zong Yanli and said, "General Hu has already reported your incident at Yongmen Pass to me."

"Ali, you did a good job." Zong Yanhongjing smiled, his eyes full of satisfaction, as if he was the satisfaction of an old father who finally saw his son move forward step by step and grow up little by little.

"My father taught me well. My son still has a lot to learn." Zong Yanli's nose was slightly sour. In her previous life, she never knew her father's good intentions. Many times when she met Zong Yanhongjing, there were only arguments and disobedience. She never even knew that her father had so many scars on his body.

It was not until her father died in battle and she was sorting out his remains that she saw the countless scars on his body, both new and old.
