The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

The enemy's sentry was dragged silently into the night, and before he could make a sound, his neck was slashed with a dagger.

The crowd who were still concentrating on burying the explosives were hit in the back of the head by sleeve arrows.

They held the fallen body steady and gently placed it in the bushes nearby.

Hua Ye leaned over the edge of the cliff and stuck his head out, observing the people below. Then he said, "Whenever you tell them to shoot an arrow, change positions and shoot from all directions!"

Zuo Nian gestured and directed:

The 20 men in black worked in unison to find the best sniping spot and took the bows and arrows on their backs.

Arrows were fired at once, like rain, landing on the crowd of people carrying traps back and forth, instantly wiping out more than half of the team of more than a hundred people.

Those people were dressed in ordinary people's clothes. They were so scared that they looked around with torches and hid under the rock wall.

Hua Ye stood up, drew the soft sword from his waist, and jumped down.

He attacked without mercy, and wherever his sword swept through, anyone would be killed or injured. Hua Ye was blood-thirsty.

A hidden arrow pierced through the bushes and shot straight towards Hua Ye. He was unable to dodge and his arm was cut by it.

The blood made Hua Ye's pink riding uniform even more gorgeous. Zuo Nian threw a flying knife at the head of the man who shot the black arrow with lightning speed.

He flew down with a knife in hand, shielding her from behind, and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?"

"It's just a minor injury! Take care of them first!"

Hua Ye quickly tore off a piece of cloth from the edge of her skirt and tied it under the wound to stop the bleeding.

Amidst the flashing of swords and the shadow of sabers, the place seemed to be ablaze with flames in the night.

It was dawn, and the last attacker was pinned down in front of Zuo Nian, kneeling with a knife against his neck.

"Who told you to set an ambush here?"

Zuo Nian's face was dark and his tone was harsh and unquestionable.

The man only raised his head to glance at Zuo Nian, then he foamed at the mouth, convulsed, and fainted, and then died.

"It's pointless to ask. They are all dead men. If they go back, they will die anyway. If they don't go back, they will die anyway. It's better to leave an intact body and save your family!"

Hua Yeyi sat on the edge of the rock, wiping the blood off the soft sword, and put it into his belt after he was sure it was clean.

Zuo Nian ordered his men to do their work with an expressionless face, and looked at Hua Ye with a hint of worry in his big eyes.

"Remove the traps, clean up the bodies, and clear the path!"

"I'm fine. I'll just find a river to clean the wound and apply some gold medicine!"

Hua Ye met his worried gaze, and his bloodstained face looked completely inconsistent with his bloodthirsty and murderous appearance.

"I wonder why a woman like you would like to march and fight?"

Zuo Nian asked from the bottom of his heart while moving the corpse.

"Don't you think it's impressive to be the only female general in Western Chu in a hundred years? Defending the country has always been the Hua family's belief!"

Hua Ye pulled off the rope connected to the cliff and calmly recounted his previous dream.

"As long as you like it!"

Zuo Nian looked at her with admiration and endless love in his eyes.

"In this life, I only do what I want to do!"

"That's right! After my father abdicates, you can't compete with me for the position of General Weihua!"

"Let you!"

Zuo Nian smiled dotingly and helplessly.

After they cleaned up the battlefield, everyone blew a whistle and the horses came running over from a mile away...

"Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba rest here just in case, and wait for the main force to join us and head to Sucheng together!"

Zuo Nian left some dry food for the two young men, then set off and found a dilapidated temple a mile away.

"Stop here and take care of your injuries."

"Yes, Major General!"

Everyone felt at ease, the smoke from the cooking stove rose, they had a hot meal, and then slept on the ground.

Hua Ye hid in a side room, took off his coat and took out his injured arm.

The wound looked bloody, her brows were furrowed and sweat was oozing from her forehead and neck.

She took out the golden medicine from her waist, bit open the bottle and was about to apply it when Zuo Nian pushed the door and walked in.

"You have to clean it first, otherwise it will easily get infected!"

He glanced at Hua Ye's smooth arms, blushed, and looked away awkwardly.

"Then come and help me clean it, it hurts so much!"

Hua Ye shouted openly without any hesitation.

"Why are you being so hesitant? If you don't bandage me, I'm going to bleed out!"

The cut was badly opened and blood was oozing out.

"Then bear with it! It's a bit painful!"

Zuo Nian strode over, pulled off the water bag from his right waist, squatted down, took her hand, bit open the water bag, and poured it on the wound, catching her off guard...

"Wow..."

"pain!"

Hua Ye was shaking all over, his eyes red with pain: "Why is it wine?"

Her lips were bitten until they were red, and she held his wrist tightly with her other hand, feeling so painful that she had no place to put her head.

"Just apply some more golden medicine and it will be fine. Just bear with it for a while!"

Zuo Nian had a blank expression on his face but his face was slightly red. He took the golden medicine, tightened his hand and poured out half a bottle.

The pain made her faint, and her head was about to hit the ground. Zuo Nian grabbed her arms and hugged her around the waist.

He carefully leaned her against the wall and bandaged her wound hurriedly but gently.

He picked up some dry grass, took off his cloak and covered her with it, then gently laid her down on it and covered her with clothes.

After walking around the dilapidated temple, I finally found a broken basin with several holes missing. I cleaned it and poured some hot water into it.

After wiping the sweat off her face and helping her get dressed, I let her lean against the wall to rest.

The sunset dyed half the sky red. Zuo Nian had already organized the team. He gently pushed her shoulder...

"Hua Ye, it's time to get up!"
