Xin Wanyun drew his sword and pressed it against the man's neck. "If you continue to speak to women in this contemptuous tone, I won't mind killing you."

Meng Qi hurriedly stepped forward from behind, "Huang Bing, don't be rude. These two are General Xin and our boss."

"What, there are two women?!"

Huang Bing showed an expression of disbelief. Xin Wanyun exerted force with his hand, and the sharp sword blade instantly cut a gash on his neck.

As the crimson blood oozed out, Huang Bing saw the murderous intent in Xin Wanyun's eyes. He then changed his words and said, "I spoke out of turn. Please spare my life, General."

The others had different expressions when they saw this, but they all knew the situation and didn't say much.

Only then did Xin Wanyun put away his sword with a stern face.

"General Xin? Which General Xin?"

Suddenly, a faint sound came from the bed.

The generals quickly made way for him, and General Feng on the bed turned his head with difficulty to look over here.

When he saw Xin Wanyun, his eyes trembled violently.

"It's you! It's really you! Weren't you burned to death? News of your death has spread throughout the capital."

Xin Wanyun stepped forward and said, "It's me. I didn't die. Zhier saved me."

Seeing his old friend again, General Feng sat up as if he had a last burst of energy.

He sighed, "You were so outstanding back then, but it's a pity that you wasted your time in Wanfo Temple. It's a good thing that happened this way. Your abilities really shouldn't be buried."

He recalled the past with some nostalgia, "I have fought countless battles in my life. Thinking back carefully, the most enjoyable time was when I fought side by side with you. Although I am much older than you, I still regard you as my confidant."

As if recalling the time when she was most ambitious, Xin Wanyun's eyes rarely turned red.

She waved her hand and asked her men to bring steamed buns. "Since you consider me a close friend, please keep your life and fight alongside me again."

When the others saw the steamed bun, they immediately started drooling like hungry wolves seeing meat.

It’s not their fault that they are useless, they are just too hungry.

However, they all restrained the urge to grab it because the steamed bun was for General Feng.

General Feng had been very kind to them, so they never abandoned him.

Song Zhi said, "You guys go out and get some steamed buns. We came here in a hurry and didn't bring any other food, just some steamed buns."

The others had strong desire in their eyes, but they still stood still.

It was not until General Feng said, "Why are you still standing here? Go ahead," that they quickly set off and left.

Meng Qi also went out to help distribute the steamed buns. In an instant, only Song Zhixin, Wanyun and General Feng were left in the huge main tent.

Xin Wanyun wanted to break the steamed bun into pieces and feed it to General Feng, but General Feng refused.

He smiled and said, "You know, my Feng family is full of loyal and brave people. Even if the court treats me like this, I can't let the Feng family's reputation for loyalty be ruined by me."

Xin Wanyun's hand stopped in mid-air.

Song Zhi couldn't help but say, "Is a mere empty reputation more important than a real life?"

General Feng said, "To me, this false reputation is indeed more important."

Song Zhi was speechless. General Feng looked at her and thought for a long time, "Your last name is Song, and these eyes look so familiar. Could you be Song Yang's daughter?"

Because he had not been back to Beijing for a long time, he did not know most of the younger generations in Beijing.

Song Zhi nodded, "Yes."

General Feng smiled kindly, "I see. Your father and I were quite close when we were young. Meng Qi said you were the boss, and General Xin and the others were all working for you?"

Song Zhi thought about it, nodded and admitted, "Yes."

She thought that as a woman who privately stationed troops, such a pedantic old man would definitely say that she was having wild ideas and was rebelling against the heavens.

However, unexpectedly, General Feng did not say so.

Instead, he praised repeatedly, "Not bad, very courageous, no wonder Wanyun likes you."

As he spoke, he heaved a long sigh of relief. "Now that I have handed these little bastards over to you, I can finally rest in peace."

His energy and spirit quickly declined, like a plump apple that had its vitality sucked away and became shriveled.

"General Feng!"

Xin Wanyun stepped forward quickly and said, "Why are you so stubborn? The dog emperor is not worth your sacrifice."

"I know I know."

General Feng spoke in a gentle voice, smiling and trying to comfort Xin Wanyun, "But I can't get over it. Our Feng family was born to serve His Majesty. There's nothing wrong with ending it this way."

"But……"

"Wanyun, take Zhier out first, and call those bastards in. I have something to tell them."

Although Xin Wanyun wanted to say something else, she said nothing in the end and silently took Song Zhi out of the main tent.

When I came outside, the biting cold air hit me. The wind was strong in the mountains, and the cold wind blew through my jacket.

It was already completely dark, and it was unsafe to walk at night. It seemed that they had to wait until tomorrow morning before they could set out on their journey back.

There were only a limited number of them, and the steamed buns they brought were also limited, not enough to share among tens of thousands of people.

No one was overwhelmed by hunger, and everyone took a bite of food in an orderly manner to survive.

If you don’t come here and see it with your own eyes, you will never know how miserable the people who were trapped and died were.

The soldiers huddled in their tents and shivered. Their faces were pale, their lips were purple, and their eyes were filled with despair.

Everyone had frostbite on their hands and feet. The wounds were cracked by the cold, and the blood and ice and snow solidified together, looking scary and pitiful.

These soldiers were also children who were loved by their families. Their families were looking forward to their return home for reunion. However, their young lives were not taken by the enemy on the battlefield, but they almost died here because they were abandoned by the court they trusted most.

They were really unwilling to accept this. It would be fine if they sacrificed their lives to defend their homeland, but at least they died for a good cause.

But they really couldn't accept that he died here so quietly.

They could have chosen to rebel earlier and avoid suffering these hardships, but they always believed that the court would come to rescue them, and missed the best opportunity to leave.

At this moment, all the edible things near the camp have been eaten up, even the tree bark has been stripped clean.

They were so hungry that they ran to eat snow, but the more they ate, the faster the heat in their bodies disappeared, and they almost died of hypothermia several times.

Under the dual torture of mental and physical suffering, they almost chose to commit suicide to find relief.

Fortunately, Song Zhi and others came at this time and brought them a glimmer of hope.

The soldiers had tears in their eyes and felt that their previous persistence was ridiculous.

Song Zhi assured them that he would take everyone to their camp early tomorrow morning.

Xin Wanyun was angry, "Sooner or later, the dog emperor will regret his indifference this time."

"General! General!"

Suddenly, a mournful wail was heard from the main tent, the sound was extremely sad.

Xin Wanyun and Song Zhi looked at each other and ran over quickly.
