The Second Young Master Zhan in front of him really looked like a cunning little fox. He was so scary.

At this time, the swamp had already reached his heart. If Zhan Xuan and Xie Jianshu worked together to pull him up, he would definitely have a chance to survive.

He doesn't want to die!

Thinking of this, he shouted anxiously, "Second Young Master, I forgot this is a swamp. I really didn't mean to do that. Please quickly pull me up. If I get swallowed by the swamp, the general will definitely ask you about my whereabouts, and you won't be able to explain it to him, right?"

Zhan Xuan said nonchalantly: "Do you think I care about Xiao Zhuo?"

The cold voice made Chen Geng's heart tighten. He now regretted that he was too rash.

Seeing the swamp dragging him down bit by bit, he immediately became confused.

He broke down and burst into tears: "Second Master Zhan, I am also a meritorious general who has made great contributions to the court. You can't just stand by and watch someone die. If people knew about your evil deeds today, aren't you afraid of being criticized by the people?"

Zhan Xuan looked around disdainfully: "Look, no one noticed that I was standing by and watching someone die. Chen Geng, don't think I don't know who you are. Tell me the truth, what exactly are you planning on doing to Ye Li?"

With death imminent, Chen Geng no longer dared to hide the truth.

He cried and replied, "It's my fault. I just wanted to bully him, a new recruit, so I forced him to scrub my back. I will change in the future!"

Zhan Xuan didn't believe that things would be so simple. It was obvious that Chen Geng was not telling the truth.

He didn't say anything else, but raised his hand and took out a dagger from his sleeve to cut the whip.

Chen Geng was so frightened that he yelled, "Stop it! I said, seeing how fair and tender he is, I wanted to take him to the camp and bully him. After all, life in the military camp is too hard!"

Zhan Xuan's face turned ashen with anger. He didn't expect that Chen Geng in front of him would be so cruel. Fortunately, Ye Li escaped, otherwise, if he fell into the hands of this bastard, how would he be safe?

He angrily demanded, "Tell me, how many new recruits have you harmed?"

Chen Geng still wanted to hesitate and hide it, but Zhan Xuan picked up the shining dagger again.

He could only close his eyes and answer, "I've bullied every good-looking soldier. I can't even remember how many there are!"

Xie Jianshu stood nearby and asked doubtfully, "You didn't look for me, do you think this prince is not good-looking?"

Chen Geng gritted his teeth in grievance: "I have to be brave enough. When you first entered the military camp, everyone knew that you were of noble status!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a mouthful of mud flowed directly into his mouth.

He struggled in fear: "Prince Xie, Second Young Master Zhan, please save me quickly. I know some news about the witch tribe. I can tell you so that you can successfully rescue Ye Li!"

Zhan Xuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He said in a cold voice, "Don't worry. I will bring Ye Li back to the barracks safe and sound without your help. You have committed many evil deeds. This swamp is where you will be buried!"

After saying this, he cut the whip without mercy.

Chen Geng was soon swallowed up by the swamp, leaving no trace.

Xie Jianshu walked up to Zhan Xuan and said, "We've finally gotten rid of this bad apple. What a relief!"

Zhan Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "He has brought disaster to so many good men, he must die!"

Without further hesitation, the two turned around and walked quickly towards the direction of the witch tribe.

Around dark, they finally arrived at the dense forest.

Xie Jianshu looked around warily and saw Zhan Xuan suddenly put the sharp dagger in his hand into his palm.

He asked in shock: "Boss Xuan, what are you going to do?"

Zhan Xuan ordered in a deep voice: "Hurry up and stab my arm!"

Xie Jianshu instinctively refused: "No, how can I stab you?"

Zhan Xuan frowned and said, "If you don't stab me, we won't be able to use the self-torture trick to enter the witch tribe. Hurry up, if you delay any longer, I will no longer recognize you as my good brother!"

Xie Jianshu's eyes immediately turned red, and he asked with a sob, "Boss Xuan, does it hurt? What if I don't control my strength?"

Just as he was hesitating, Zhan Xuan grabbed his wrist tightly and stabbed the sharp dagger directly into his arm.

With his muffled groan, blood gushed out.

Zhan Xuan urged with a pale face: "Hurry up and shout for help, hurry up!"

Xie Jianshu immediately shouted, "Help, help! Someone's injured!"

After shouting, he realized something was wrong. He was now dressed as a man.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously cleared his throat and started shouting in a pretentious voice again.

Zhan Xuan frowned slightly, secretly thanking his lucky stare that he hadn't eaten lunch, otherwise, he would have to vomit at this moment.

I have to say, Xie Jianshu's voice is really torturous.

Fortunately, after about a cup of tea, there was movement in the depths of the dense forest.

Several girls came with torches and surrounded the two men.

The leader asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you? Why are you attacking my witch tribe so late at night?"

Xie Jianshu quickly spoke up, "We're here to ask for help. My sister and I met a thief on the road. He wanted to kidnap us, but we fought back and kicked him into the swamp. He stabbed my sister in the arm, but I beg you kindhearted girl to save my sister. She's bleeding!"

The girl stared at Zhan Xuan's pale and weak face, with a scrutinizing look in her eyes.

Zhan Xuan spoke weakly, "Miss, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. My sister and I are all alone and helpless. If we still had the strength to continue on our journey, we would never come to you for help!"

The girl also felt that the two men's current appearance would not pose any danger to the tribe.

She spoke quickly, "You can enter the tribe, but you can't run around. Today is the auspicious day when our tribe leader and his adopted sister become sworn brothers. Everyone in the tribe is celebrating. If they discover any outsiders intruding, they will definitely be angry!"

Zhan Xuan nodded hurriedly: "Okay, we promise not to cause you any trouble!"

The girl brought the two into the witch tribe and led them into a spacious courtyard.

Although the house was simple, the two were very grateful.

The girl looked at Zhan Xuan with some concern: "Your injuries seem quite serious. How about I call a doctor to treat you?"

How could Zhan Xuan agree? If the doctor came, wouldn’t his secret of being a man disguised as a woman be exposed?

He hastily refused: "My sister knows medical skills, she can treat it for me!"

The girl did not force him. She carefully reminded him not to move around, then turned around and left quickly.

After her figure disappeared, Xie Jianshu looked at Zhan Xuan worriedly; "Boss, I, I don't know any medical skills. You are injured so badly, we should call a doctor to take a look!"
