Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

"Yelü Qi, your time of death has come." Gu Huai pointed his sword at Yelü Qi.

Yelu Qi sneered, "Even if I, Yelu Qi, want to die, it will not be now."

"Charge them out!" Yelu Qi roared and led the remaining soldiers under his command to charge towards a weak point in the encirclement of the Jin army.

After a hard battle and the loss of most of his remaining troops, he successfully broke through with a few of his confidants and rode his horse into the depths of the dense forest.

"Chase." Pang Yong shouted and rode his horse to chase.

No one would give up such a good opportunity and let the tiger go back to the mountain.

So Gu Huai followed Pang Yong's back as it disappeared until only a dot remained. He hesitated for a moment before mounting his horse and catching up.

After chasing for a while, he finally saw Pang Yong's figure in front of him again.

"Pang Yong, where is Yelu Qiren? Where are the other soldiers?"

Gu Huai saw him holding the horse reins and running around like a headless fly, so he rode his horse to his side.

Pang Yong turned around and gave him a sinister smile. "General Yelu is gone, and I deliberately dispersed the other soldiers. I'm waiting here because I have something important to do."

"you……"

Gu Huai had just said one word when Pang Yong threw poison powder at him.

The powder entered Gu Huai's eyes and he instinctively closed them. The severe pain made it almost impossible for him to open his eyelids. He could only rely on his years of experience in fighting in the battlefield to quickly roll off his horse to the ground to avoid becoming a sitting duck for the enemy.

He was extremely shocked. He didn't expect that Pang Yong, who had always been loyal, would turn against him.

"Pang Yong! How dare you betray Da Jin!" Gu Huai roared, his voice filled with disbelief and anger.

Pang Yong said grimly, "Gu Huai, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame your Gu family for being too dazzling and blocking other people's way."

"Who is it? You've been his lackey, colluding with him to commit treason and collude with the Northern Rong. You won't have a good ending."

Pang Yong's voice became more and more sinister.

"Then General Gu, please don't worry about it."

"You, Gu and your son, will soon be reunited in the underworld."

"You're dreaming!"

The rage surging in his chest further aroused Gu Huai's will to survive. He couldn't see anything with his eyes, so he concentrated more and more and used his ears to listen to the movements around him.

The sound of a blade cutting through the air passed by his ears, and Gu Huai rolled sideways, narrowly avoiding the attack.

He suppressed the severe pain in his eyes and, relying on his vague memory of the surrounding terrain, quickly crawled towards the bushes nearby, trying to use the dense branches and leaves as cover.

"Want to run? Not that easy!" Pang Yong saw this and followed closely behind him, swinging his knife and slashing.

The trees were broken by his strength, making crackling sounds that were particularly harsh in the silent forest.

Gu Huai held his sword to block the attack while shouting in grief and anger, "Pang Yong, we've been comrades for many years. Do you really want to kill us all like this?"

"Hmph." Pang Yong responded with an even more ruthless attack.

Every blow Pang Yong swung was extremely ruthless, as if he wanted to completely sever the camaraderie of the past.

"Gu Huai, this world is inherently cruel. It's either you or I. Your Gu family is too powerful and has long been the target of public criticism. If it wasn't me, there would be others who would target your Gu family. I'm just following the trend and finding a way out for myself."

Unable to convince Pang Yong, Gu Huai could only use the surrounding terrain to slightly restrain Pang Yong and slow down his offensive.

But after a long period of mediation, Gu Huai suffered an invisible loss. Although he did not suffer any fatal injuries, he was still inevitably slashed several times by the knife in Pang Yong's hand.

His sword was also cut off by Pang Yong's broadsword.

Just when Gu Huai was exhausted physically and mentally and unable to cope, a slight noise suddenly came from among the leaves.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp arrow pierced the air and hit Pang Yong's right arm accurately.

"Ah!" Pang Yong cried out in pain, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground. He hurriedly covered the wound and looked around vigilantly.

"Who? Come out!" Pang Yong's voice was full of vigilance and anger.

There was no other sound except the sound of wind and rustling leaves.

Gu Huai took the opportunity to get up, jump up, and jump into the bushes.

Pang Yong broke the arrow on his shoulder, leaving only the head in the flesh, and endured the pain to go find Gu Huai.

He couldn't let Gu Huai escape and return to the military camp alive, otherwise the Prime Minister's painstaking plan would be ruined.

The Prime Minister will not let him go either.

The big knife chopped the weeds and vines that blocked people's view. Gu Huai listened to the sound and determined the location. He went around behind Pang Yong, jumped up, jumped onto Pang Yong's back, and strangled his neck tightly with the vines.

Pang Yong was strangled by Gu Huai to the point of being unable to breathe. He stared at a tree in front of him and rammed his way into it with all his might.

He himself felt dizzy, and Gu Huai was also bounced away by this external force.

Gu Huai staggered a few steps, Pang Yong shook his head, then rushed forward and grabbed Gu Huai's neck with both hands.

"You die." He bared his teeth and said fiercely.

In terms of strength, Pang Yong had the upper hand and pinched Gu Huai so hard that his face turned red and he rolled his eyes.

Seeing that he was about to be strangled to death, Pang Yong showed a smug smile on his face.

But the next second, Pang Yong's eyes suddenly widened, and his body stiffened and fell to one side.

Gu Huai's breath was choked and he suddenly fainted.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Gu Huai woke up.

Thick herbs were applied to his eyelids, making it impossible for him to open his eyes.

He guessed that someone had saved him, so he struggled to sit up and touched the wounds on his body. He found that the places where Pang Yong had chopped him had been carefully bandaged.

"Is anyone there?" He tried to talk to the person who saved him, but he waited for a long time but received no reply.

"Aren't you here?"

What responded to him was still the faint fragrance and cold air filling the room.

It seemed that the person who saved him was not by his side. Gu Huai listened carefully and heard the gurgling and bubbling sounds of simmering medicine outside.

He walked out groping with his hands, and accidentally tripped over the threshold, almost falling down. Fortunately, a hand reached out to him and held him steady, thus avoiding falling down the stairs.

He fumbled with the hand that was holding him, and when he realized it was a girl, he let go, took two steps back, and bowed to apologize: "I'm sorry, girl, I was rude."

"nothing."

The person who responded had an inexplicably familiar voice. Gu Huai asked, "Miss, are you from Dajin?"

Lu Yaoyao smiled slightly, "Yeah."

"Do we know each other?"

"do not know."

"Go back and lie down quickly. Otherwise, if you run around outside and bump into something again, I can't guarantee that your eyes will heal."

"Get better? Girl, are you saying that my eyes may get better?" Gu Huai said excitedly.

"Why not? But first, you have to follow the doctor's orders."

Lu Yaoyao led him back into the house and helped him lie down.

For a man who needs to wear armor and go into battle to kill the enemy all the time, blinding him is more torturous than killing him. Gu Huai is also afraid, afraid that he will lose his sight forever and become a complete cripple.

But just as he lay down, he thought of something important and sat up. "No, I need to return to the Dajin military camp immediately. Miss, could you please take me to the nearest town? I'll send a message and someone will come to pick me up."
