Shangguan Rui heard the shadow guard's report on the city wall that Shen Xue was kidnapped by the Beiyan killer. He was so scared that he quickly told the shadow guard to guard the city wall, and he hurried to the military doctor's tent.

At this time, Shen Xue's neck had been bandaged. Shangguan Rui held her shoulders with both hands and asked anxiously, "Xiaoxue, how are you injured?"

"Third Prince, I'm fine, don't worry."

Ye Gucheng and Military Doctor Xu greeted Shangguan Rui when they saw him, then walked out tactfully.

"How can I not be worried? I just heard the shadow guard report that you were held hostage by the assassin. I was so scared that I almost died."

"I just thought I would never see you again, but I didn't expect my elder sister to save me."

"I must thank you very much, elder sister."

At this time, Shen Rou walked in and said, "Why are you thanking me? I saved my sister, how can the Third Prince thank me?"

"No matter what, I just want to thank you for saving Xiaoxue. I, Shangguan Rui, owe you a favor. From now on, as long as you ask, I will spare no effort to help you."

Shen Xue looked at Shen Rou cautiously and lowered her head shyly.

Shen Rou said nonchalantly, "Then I would like to thank the Third Prince first. However, this is what a sister should do."

Shangguan Rui nodded slightly, turned to look at the shy Shen Xue, his eyes full of heartache.

Shen Xue smiled slightly and said, "Third Prince, you go back and do your work first. I'm fine now."

"When no one is around, you should still call me Brother Rui."

Shen Xue hummed softly.

Shangguan Rui looked at Shen Xue, then turned and left the tent.

Bei Ze and Leng Xin stood at the entrance of the tent, looking at Shangguan Rui cautiously, and quickly knelt down and said, "Master, please punish me for not protecting Miss Shen well."

His expression instantly turned serious and indifferent. "You indeed deserve to be punished. This prince will let you go because you escaped harm this time. I will not let you off lightly if you do this again."

"Thank you, Master. I will do my best to protect Miss Shen."

After Shangguan Rui left, the two decided to strengthen the protection of Shen Xue in the future and never let something like this happen again.

Inside the tent, Shen Rou and Shen Xue also discussed the danger that had just occurred.

"Sister, I'm glad you're here today, otherwise I might not see the sun tomorrow."

"Silly girl, why are you thanking me? In the future, work hard to practice and become stronger so that no one can hurt you."

"Sister, even though I came to the military camp, I didn't dare slack off in my training. The killer today was too powerful. If I resisted, I would only die faster."

"That makes sense. Fortunately, my sister is safe and sound, otherwise I would have chased her to Beiyan and killed that bastard Rong Che."

Shen Xue leaned against Shen Rou's arms with gratitude and smiled slightly, "It's great to have big sister to protect me."

"That's a must."

The two sisters chatted for a while and it was already late. When they returned to the tent, Shen Xue fell asleep quickly, but Shen Rou couldn't fall asleep.

After thinking for a long time, I decided to chase the escaped Rong Che tomorrow. By eliminating this scourge of his, the border can be peaceful for a few years.

The next morning, Shen Rou came to Shangguan Yunting's tent, "Xiao Rou, you're here."

"I have something to tell you."

"Sit down and talk."

"Has Beiyan already withdrawn its troops?"

"Last night, spies reported that Rong Che was evacuating to Jizhou City with his remaining troops in a desperate state. They should be arriving in Jizhou by now."

"Once we get to Jizhou, it will be the territory of Northern Yan. If Rong Che dies in Jizhou, it will have nothing to do with us!"

Shangguan Yunting quickly guessed Shen Rou's thoughts and said worriedly: "Xiao Rou, what are you going to do? There are 50,000 troops stationed in Jizhou. Don't do anything rash. Even if you have powerful weapons, it won't work."

"You see I have powerful weapons."

"I didn't see what weapon you used, but I heard the sound. Although you used a dagger to cover the weapon, I guessed it must be a very powerful weapon."

Shen Rou looked at Shangguan Yunting and asked, "Do you want to know what weapon I use?"

"I'm all ears when you have something to say."

Shen Rou smiled slightly without saying anything, and paused for a moment, "Do others have doubts too?"

"Don't worry! The situation was tense at the time and no one noticed your weapon. It was so fast that many people couldn't react. The dagger followed and everyone thought it was the dagger that killed him. Even if a few guards had doubts, I had already warned them."

"I plan to go to Jizhou and kill Rong Che. Ask Xu Yang and Zhang Qiao to follow me."

"I don't agree with you going. It's too dangerous."

"I'm not confronting him head-on."

Shangguan Yunting said with a determined look, "That won't work either. Are you afraid that Rong Che will make a comeback? We have bombs, so why should we be afraid of him?"

"Yun Ting, please believe me. I promise to kill him and escape unscathed."

"Rong Che, he almost killed my sister. For that reason alone, his death is not worth regretting. He is always a scourge. As long as he is dead, the people on the border of the two countries will not have peace. If he ascends the throne of Northern Yan, he will be even more unscrupulous."

Shangguan Yunting thought to himself that it was a good thing that Shen Xue was okay, otherwise Shen Rou would hate him too.

He knew that Shen Rou had made a decision that he couldn't change, so he sighed deeply, "Alright! Since I can't persuade you, you'll just have to go along with it. I'll go with you, otherwise I won't be at ease."

"As the commander of the army, can you leave the barracks?"

"The battle is over, so why not go and investigate the enemy situation? Besides, there are several generals and Rui'er in the army, so they're sure to be fine."

"Go back and prepare. I'll go talk to the generals. We'll set off in an hour."

"it is good."
