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

"Go back and take good care of your injuries." Zong Yanli reached out and pressed Qian Zhixing's shoulder and said, "You will always have a place by my side."

"Yes..." Qian Zhixing's tightly clenched hands relaxed quietly and he finally compromised.

Qian Zhixing actually knew that once he left, he would probably never be able to come back.

One of his legs...

It is completely broken, and even if the bones are reconnected, it is impossible to restore it to its previous state.

During the march, most of the time the troops had to march day and night. How could he lead the troops with a broken leg?

Qian Zhixing's chest heaved. After listening to Zong Yanli walking out of the tent, he finally couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. This was the general he wanted to follow so desperately, with whom he had lived for countless days and nights, and who had dedicated his entire youth to the military camp.

Qian Zhixing thought for no reason, how great it would be if he died in the battle at Yuanshi Pass...

"General, General Mingwei wants you to come over." Gao Feilin hurriedly greeted Zong Yanli when he saw him coming out.

"Okay." Zong Yanli nodded slightly, turned around and instructed the others in the military tent to take good care of the transportation of wounded soldiers, and to ensure that all subsidies and compensation were given.

Then Zong Yanli went to Zong Yanhongtu's tent and saw Zong Yanhongtu holding a box on the table with a letter on it.

Zong Yanhongtu turned around and saw Zong Yanli coming. He immediately waved at her and said, "Your mother sent a letter and a box of things. Take it back later."

Zong Yanli bowed and saluted before walking forward, holding the envelope and opening it. He couldn't help frowning after just a quick glance. The content of the letter mostly talked about their life in the capital, and how Zong Yanhongjing and Zong Yanli had repeatedly made military achievements.

Many people in the capital came to ask for Zong Yanyin's hand in marriage after hearing the news. Han carefully selected several families, but still could not make up her mind. However, Zong Yanyin insisted that she would not marry unless Zong Yanli gave her approval.

Zong Yanyin is sixteen years old this year.

"Is there anything wrong at home?" Zong Yanhongtu looked at Zong Yanli's gloomy brows and asked immediately.

"It's nothing serious. My mother is just worried about Ayin's marriage." Zong Yanli put away the letter and replied.

"Ayin is already old enough to get married?" Zong Yanhongtu was stunned when he heard this, and then thought with a complicated expression, it's about the same, Zong Yanli is only three years older than Zong Yanyin.

"Now that the war is going on, I'm afraid I won't be able to see Ah Yin get married..." Zong Yanli sighed. Even though she missed her family, she couldn't go home. She put the letter close to her and said, "Second uncle asked me to come here just to get a letter?"

"Not really." Zong Yanhongtu straightened his face, asked Zong Yanli to sit down, and then said, "Your father sent a message that Jin and Gao have sent envoys to the capital."

"The envoy from Gao Kingdom?" Zong Yanli couldn't help but perk up.

"You don't know yet?" Zong Yanhongtu said with a complicated expression, "The princess of Gao Kingdom was recently named a noble concubine. The queen was under house arrest because of a disturbance during the ancestral worship. Now the harem is ruled by the noble concubine Gao."

"Now the imperial concubine is thinking about the suffering of Wu State and intends to persuade Gao State to come to its aid. The envoys of Gao State came to Beijing to negotiate terms according to the imperial concubine's intention." Zong Yanhongtu said.

Zong Yanli paused for a moment, thinking with mixed feelings, it was indeed so...

She was not surprised that Gao Jiayue became a noble concubine in just three years, but she did not expect that Gao Jiayue would ask Gao State for help. Did she really want the two countries to become stable allies, or did she want Gao State to take the opportunity to see my country's military strength and bite back in the future?

Zong Yanli could not guess the meaning of this, and he never expected that the current Emperor of Gao would actually send an envoy to the country.

Zong Yanli thought for a moment, then turned to look at Zong Yanhongtu and said, "What does Jin mean? Is there any unusual movement on the border?"

"I think Jin wants to wait and see the current situation." Zong Yanhongtu said, "But now, if Gao really enters the war, I don't know what Jin will think."

"What instructions does father have?" Zong Yanli was silent for a moment before asking.

"The general has ordered the Ghost Camp to come to our aid, and they will arrive soon." Zong Yanhongtu looked at Zong Yanli and said, "In this battle to defend the pass, half of your soldiers were lost. Now is the time to use more people. Since the Ghost Camp soldiers are here to help, I will leave them to you to command."

Zong Yanli felt relieved when he heard this. The tense mood he had been in for many days was finally relieved at this moment.

Her father really thought what she thought. This soldier from the ghost camp was sent at the perfect time.

When Zong Yanli was carrying the box back, she saw Ning Chi standing next to Wen Nian, standing on tiptoe to compare height with Wen Nian. She didn't know when these two people had such a good relationship.

When Wen Nian saw Zong Yanli coming, he naturally stepped forward and took the box from Zong Yanli's hand.

"Bai Xiujun is coming. Please clean up the camp next door." Zong Yanli said to Wen Nian with a look of relief in his eyes, "It's been a long time since we last met. I wonder if this kid has made any progress."

"That's great!" Monkie and Lu Hao were overjoyed when they heard the news, and even their reluctance to see Qian Zhixing leave was lessened.

Ning Chi blinked and stood aside. Although he didn't say anything, his face was full of doubts. Who is Bai Xiujun?!

He really understood that Zong Yanli had never lacked followers. Why did they all seem to be better than him?

The spring is cold and the branches are thin.

Reinforcements from all places have arrived, but only two of the three cities, Dongji, Linxi and Nantai, have come to help, and Dongji has no intention of coming to help at all.

Lei Jiliang, the defender of Dongji, had a feud with Qin Wujiu.

"What kind of festival could have gotten to this point?" Inside the military tent, Monk and his men sat around the fire, talking about the matter with great curiosity.

"I heard it was about love, hatred and vengeance." Lu Hao stretched out his hands while warming himself by the fire and said, "Didn't we overhear a little when we went to compete with the soldiers under Zeng Xingchao's tent a few days ago?"

"Oh! So they are talking about..." Monkie slapped his thigh and was about to speak when he remembered that they were talking about the general. He silently stopped shouting and lowered his voice a little, saying, "So they are talking about General Qin?"

"Is the hatred of having your wife taken away from you true or false?"

"..."

Zong Yanli looked at them, laughing in low voices, making random guesses and making up stories, and he felt a sigh in his heart for some reason.

I think she would also be discussed in this way by others...

Qin Wujiu did have a feud with the defenders of Dongji City, and it was indeed related to a woman, and that person was Qin Wujiu's current wife, Zhang.

Qin Wujiu and Lei Jiliang were originally brothers from the same camp, and they had supported each other along the way. However, Qin Wujiu was a member of the Qin family after all, and the Qin family wanted to fight for fame and power, so he couldn't just stand by and watch.

Zhang and Lei Jiliang were not in a "wife-stealing" relationship. Zhang was Lei Jiliang's adopted sister, and the relationship between Qin Wujiu and Zhang was brought together by Lei Jiliang himself. He did not expect that the Qin family and the Chen family would later have a fight.

The Qin family joined hands with the current prince to expand their military power again and again, and even did not hesitate to take action in the middle of a war in order to suppress the Chen family.

Lei Jiliang couldn't stand the Qin family's tactics, so during a battle, when Qin Wujiu asked for his troops to help, Lei Jiliang refused. Unexpectedly, Qin Wujiu persuaded Zhang to steal the military order from him and transferred his generals away.

After that battle, the Chen family was severely damaged, and the Qin family took advantage of the situation and completely suppressed the Chen family.

Lei Jiliang completely fell out with Qin Wujiu because of this incident and ordered Zhang not to marry. In the end, Zhang escaped and eloped with Qin Wujiu, and the two of them completely broke off their relationship.

"Say less sarcastic remarks and stop discussing other people's private affairs." Seeing that they were talking more and more excitedly, Zong Yanli couldn't help but frown and interrupt them.

"General, please forgive me." Lu Hao and the others immediately stopped talking and lowered their heads guiltily.

They also thought that the general had some complaints against General Qin, so he wanted to vent them through words.

The general is difficult to arrange, so let them speak. It’s okay for them to say a few words, right?

But unexpectedly, Zong Yanli did not seem to have any complaints against General Qin. Instead, he said with a serious face: "The Dongji defenders did not come to help. They must have known that the other two cities were coming to help. His coming can only be icing on the cake."

“If Qing Kingdom does not send more troops, our remaining forces will be enough to cope with it.” Zong Yanli sat upright and said to everyone.

"Even if there are some grudges, at a time when the survival of the country is at stake, I believe that a general will not ignore the lives of his soldiers and civilians."

"Now you have some friction with the generals under the Qin family army, but one day when you go to the battlefield together, they will still be your comrades!"

"Your swords can only be pointed at the enemy."

Zong Yanli did not want to see his soldiers and generals, who would become military leaders in the future, betray their comrades.

Lu Hao, Meng Qi and the others immediately lowered their heads, slightly ashamed, and quickly responded: "We will definitely remember the general's teachings!"

Zong Yanli then nodded and asked them to stay in the tent to keep warm. He then stood up and said, "I'll go see how Chi Feng is doing."

Chifeng is the name Zong Yanli gave to her new warhorse. Ever since she snatched it away, Zong Yanli would take time to go and see it every day. On the one hand, she wanted to get more familiar with Chifeng, and on the other hand, she really liked this black horse.

"General." When Zong Yanli walked over, she saw Wen Nian had just finished cleaning the stable for her. He was carrying a bucket and looked up at Zong Yanli and called out.

"Are you still cleaning so late?" Zong Yanli felt helpless.

Chi Feng has a fierce temper. Zong Yanli has captured him for such a long time, but he still doesn't let anyone ride him.

When he first came, he would kick anyone who got close to him. Now it is considered good. At least Zong Yanli can get close to him to feed him hay and comb his fur. Occasionally, Chifeng will still make heavy and dissatisfied grunts, but he no longer kicks his hooves.

Among so many soldiers, Wen Nian was the only one who did not get kicked when he approached Chi Feng for the first time!

Pei Liang joked that Wen Nian had a fierce nature, and animals also knew how to seek benefits and avoid harm.

Then Wen Nian took over the task, and when Zong Yanli was not free, he would come to feed the horses and clean the stables.

"I had nothing to do, so I cleaned it up." Wen Nian looked at his dirty hands, stepped back and said, "I'll go clean it up."

"Yeah." Zong Yanli nodded, walked to Chi Feng, reached out and touched the smooth and shiny black hair on the horse's belly. The muscular body made her want to ride the warhorse and run for a while to try it out!

Wen Nian came back after a while, and his face was full of love when he saw Zong Yanli walking in circles with the black horse.

Wen Nian suddenly felt a little envious. He had never seen such ardent love in Zong Yanli's eyes, and now this love was for a horse...

Wen Nian lowered his eyes. He felt a little strange. Why would he want to compete with a horse?

He is worse than a horse?

"Wenian, come here!" Zong Yanli climbed onto the horse's back without her knowing. The black horse neighed anxiously and angrily, and paced with its feet as if in resistance. Zong Yanli raised her voice and called Wennian to help her hold the restless black horse.

"General!" Wen Nian was shocked when he saw this scene. He took a big step forward and grabbed the reins, as if he was worried that Zong Yanli would be thrown off.

"Oh..." Zong Yanli controlled his body, clamped his hands around the horse's belly, bent down, patted the horse's neck and said, "Brother Ma! You've been eating and drinking well for so long, why don't you let me ride you?"

"Isn't it more prestigious to follow me than to follow your old master?"

"Don't be stubborn, I will definitely treat you well..."

"..." Wen Nian didn't know why Zong Yanli suddenly started chatting with Ma, but he felt that the general must have her reasons for doing so.

Zong Yanli didn't dare to ride it for too long, he just wanted to let the black horse get familiar with himself as soon as possible.

After walking around, he dismounted and tied the horse back to the stable.

Zong Yanli returned to the tent refreshed. Monk Qi and the others had already dispersed back to the camp to rest.

The next morning, Zong Yanli learned the news that reinforcements had arrived. When Bai Xiuyun led the Ghost Camp to arrive, the huge momentum attracted a lot of people. The Qin family soldiers squeezed out to watch the excitement, wanting to see with their own eyes who were the Ghost Camp soldiers who killed and destroyed Nankang.

Then they saw the black-armored army formation. There were only 300 soldiers, all wearing heavy armor and with black visors on their faces. When they stepped into the camp, they felt the murderous aura coming towards them.

"They used to say that the ghost soldiers in the ghost camp were all worth a hundred men, but I still didn't believe it."

"I saw it with my own eyes today... I believe it."

"Such a strange army?"

"It's really scary..."

Everyone watched as the three hundred heavy soldiers entered the camp, with complicated expressions on their faces.

Zong Yanli was already waiting in front of the tent. Looking at the approaching ghost camp soldier, he slightly raised his lips, as if he was back to the beginning. The man leading the way in front of the soldiers was wearing black military armor, and the mask on his face was exactly the one that Zong Yanli wore at the beginning.

At first glance, Monkie and the others almost thought that the leading general was Zong Yanli himself!

"General!" Bai Xiujun dismounted and strode towards Zong Yanli. He took off the mask on his face and bowed to Zong Yanli with excitement, "Greetings, General Zong Yan!"

"You've worked hard along the way, let's go down and rest, brothers." Zong Yanli stretched out his hand to help Bai Xiuyun up, saying with a smile.

Bai Xiujun immediately turned around and asked the Ghost Camp members to go into the tent to rest, and then quickly followed Zong Yanli into the tent. He looked like he had a lot to say that he wanted to tell Zong Yanli.
