Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene

Chapter 194 The King’s Sacrifice (18)

The people of Daluo Dynasty did not know about the promise made by the princess in Qi Guang Palace, just as the people of Xi Dynasty did not understand where they dug out the killing god from?

Judging from his appearance alone, he was a refined scholar, even weaker than a strong man. However, he wore black armor and carried a long sword. He rushed to the front line in every battle, killing people with fear.

Xiao Jiangran could not dodge every weapon that attacked him, just as the enemy's blood would stain his armor.

Another battle raged, until the sun set. The afterglow cast a shadow over the battlefield, adding to the tragic grandeur. After ordering the remaining troops to clean up the battlefield, Xiao Jiangran returned to the main tent early to tend to the knife wound on his chest.

The silence lasted only a cup of tea before noise was heard again in front of the main tent.

"What are you arguing about? Get in here!"

In the military camp, whoever has the stronger fist is the boss. Xiao Jiangran subdued all these troublemakers through three battles.

"Marshal, there's a pretty boy outside, claiming to be your brother, and trying to break into the barracks!"

"I tried to stop him, but he pointed at me and cursed at me, even saying he would report me to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Only when Xiao Jiangran heard Shen Jin's name did he look at the man who was tied up by the soldiers and kneeling in front of him.

Haha, brother.

When he returns, he will kick all these people out of Qi Guang Hall one by one.

"You can go down." Xiao Jiangran left behind the "brother" who had trespassed into the military tent, looking down at him: "Why do you come to my border instead of cherishing your life in Qiguang Palace?"

The man looked up and saw it was none other than Jia Qi. He usually kept a low profile among the four, but now it seemed he too had ulterior motives.

He should praise Shen Jin for his sharp vision. The other four men besides him are not easy to deal with.

"Jia Qi."

Xiao Jiangran saw through the crude disguise covering his face and said his name.

"It's me, Brother Huang. Of course, I should call you Marshal Shen now."

Jia Qi raised his head upon hearing this, but because he was tied up and couldn't stand up, he could only straighten his back as much as possible and look at Xiao Jiangran who was sitting in the main seat.

"What do you want from me?"

"Marshal Shen is on the verge of death. I wonder if His Highness has been reveling in Qiguang Palace every night and hasn't attended court for half a month."

Xiao Jiangran said firmly: "Impossible."

Everyone in the world would crave pleasure, but Shen Jin didn't. After all, even he couldn't make that person late for court once, let alone because of the harem.

"How is it impossible?"

Jia Qi's voice shrilled, as if filled with jealousy. "When you were here, His Highness favored you immensely, and at least he didn't kill us all. Since you left the capital, His Highness has accepted several men sent by the Prime Minister. Among them is a pair of twins, who took your place. Not only is His Highness favored, but he's even more ruthless than you, saying he wants to dominate the harem and drive us old folks out."

Xiao Jiangran frowned, because Jia Qi's description gave him an inexplicable sense of absurd disconnection.

"and then?"

Jia Qi shed two clear tears. Seeing that Xiao Jiangran didn't care at all and didn't even show any grief, he gritted his teeth and said, "Those twins wanted to drown me in the pond, but luckily I could swim a little and escape. I have no one to help me, so I can only come to scold you."

He stood up at some point and turned his back to Xiao Jiangran, trying to get him to untie the rope: "You are kind-hearted. Compared to those twins, life with you is more peaceful. Besides, you are Shen Huang now, Marshal Shen. Even if you don't return to Qi Guang Palace, your future is broad and bright. If you return to Qi Guang Palace, you can still compete with them."

Xiao Jiangran ignored him and got up and went out of the tent.

After some trouble, the bright moon has risen in the east. A cold crescent moon hangs in the sky, which seems a bit chilly.

Jia Qi caught up with Xiao Jiangran and said, "If you're feeling sad, please help me untie the rope first so I can cry with you!"

Xiao Jiangran didn't even turn his head, and strode all the way to sit among the people in the military camp who had not yet disbanded. He grabbed the liquor that was warming by the campfire and poured it directly into his throat from the jar.

The cheers that rose one after another were mixed with the applause of the crowd.

No matter how warm the wine is, it will always leave a cold feeling when it touches the skin.

There seemed to be a fire burning inside his body, and his breathing became rapid.

In a trance, the amber wine was diluted by another transparent liquid and became hotter.

......

It was the kind-hearted soldiers who helped Jia Qi untie the hemp rope.

Xiao Jiangran looked at Jia Qi, who had a flattering yet caring expression, his eyes still cold: "I allow you to stay, but don't cause trouble for my camp."

"All right, Grand Marshal!"

The breeze made Xiao Jiangran feel a little cold, and he stood up again and headed back towards the main tent, as if he was just craving a drink and wanted to grab a sip of wine.

After the noise was forgotten, Xiao Jiangran had a rare sleepless night.

Go back and take a look, if this is her choice...

Due to his poor mental state, after defeating the enemy on the second day, Xiao Jiangran did not go into battle in person for the first time. Instead, he rode his horse under the military flag and looked at the battlefield.

The battle between the Luo Dynasty and the Western Dynasty had a distinctly righteous atmosphere. First, it was a one-on-one duel between infantry and cavalry, followed by the defeated side's decision to retreat. Their refusal to retreat marked the beginning of a truly full-scale battle. Previously, Xiao Jiangran, impulsive and driven to meet his deadline, would always charge without waiting for them to admit defeat.

Now he was quiet, watching the two sides going back and forth with a cold eye, feeling quite detached, as if he was watching a turn-based game.

As expected, we were defeated. Just like in the previous matches, Xiao Jiangran decided to attack with the drums beating.

Just as the military order was about to be issued, the enemy's troops and horses were seen moving to both sides like a tide, revealing a main road.

Xiao Jiangran stopped moving and subconsciously drove his horse forward.

Could it be that the Western Dynasty army has caused trouble again?

In the enemy camp, the iron-blooded warhorse took big strides and slowly walked to the front of the formation.

That scene, as tranquil as his own front yard, with the faintly curved corners of his mouth, he would recognize it even if it turned into ashes.

"Shen Jin, why are you here!"

Shen Jin stopped the noisy shouts of concern behind him and came to Xiao Jiangran alone.

She glanced at the Luo Chao soldiers behind him who were eyeing her hungrily and even surrounding her with guns drawn, then fixed her gaze on Xiao Jiangran.

She curled her eyes: "Xiao... Marshal Shen wants to kill me?"

Xiao Jiangran was stunned, then ordered: "Everyone, retreat ten steps!"

"you......"

Shen Jin approached: "It seems that Marshal Shen still remembers me."

The two of them just stood there facing each other, with tensions running high but harmony that made no room for anyone else.

Shen Jin was somewhat helpless: "You seem to have forgotten the task I issued."

"Shen... Jiang Ran, can I let you waver so easily?"

Xiao Jiangran was stunned. He seemed to remember the task given to him by Shen Jin, the high priest in front of the temple.

What was the mission?

......

"Help me shoot down this struggling sunset."

"Let night fall upon the whole land."

"Let's welcome the new dawn together."

He heard Shen Jin's voice ringing in his ears.

She asked, "Marshal, are you rebelling?"
