After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Chao Le: "..."

He instinctively touched his face, then gasped in pain.

Chao Le clenched his fist. "I'm going to kill you!"

Xie Xing chuckled and waved to Chao Le: "Your Highness, bye-bye!"

The moon runs like the wind; anyone who tries to stop it is either kicked to the ground by its two hooves or simply cannot catch it.

Moreover, Xie Xing also had ferocious beasts summoned by the moon from the mountains behind him.

These ferocious beasts alone will provide Chao Le with plenty to eat.

The moon carried Xie Tongchen and Xie Xing on its back for a while before slowly stopping when it realized that Chao Le and the others had not come.

After thinking for a moment, Xie Xing took Xie Tongchen to the pharmacy where Jun Lanjin was staying.

After all, Xie Tongchen's injuries looked quite severe, and if he didn't receive timely treatment, he might not survive.

But now is not a safe time. Xie Xing first had Yue Liang put Xie Tongchen down and hide in the shadows to observe the situation outside.

Only after confirming that it was completely safe would Xie Xing take Xie Tongchen to Jun Lanjin's place.

Xie Xing hid with Xie Tongchen in a street corner, a place where they were invisible unless one looked closely.

Xie Xing peered out from the street corner for a while, and only turned around after confirming that there was absolutely no problem outside...

She turned around and met Xie Tongchen's lifeless eyes.

Xie Xing was startled.

"Ouch!"

Xie Xing almost felt her heart stop. After a moment, she patted her chest in relief and turned to ask, "Why didn't you say anything?"

Xie Tongchen moved his dry lips, "Why did you save me?"

"Why are you here?"

Xie Tongchen stared intently at Xie Xing.

He had prepared himself to die, but he never expected that Xie Xing would come to save him at this critical moment.

It was his own sister, whom he had never taken seriously and even resented, who came to save him.

Xie Xing felt that Xie Tongchen's reaction must have been caused by a lot of stimulation.

If she hadn't arrived in time, Xie Tongchen would have really had his head chopped off with a sword.

Even after saving Xie Tongchen, Xie Xing still disliked him. She said irritably, "I've already saved him, why are you asking why?"

"You're my own brother, how could I just stand by and watch you die?"

[He saved someone and didn't even say thank you. Surely he won't be so ungrateful this time and will continue to treat Xie Mingzhu like a treasure?]

Xie Xing asked the system.

The system is unsure: [I don't know, maybe.]

Xie Xing's scathing comment: [That's utterly stupid, beyond saving.]

Xie Tongchen: "..."

Having just been abandoned by Xie Mingzhu, who also rode off on his horse, Xie Tongchen was deeply traumatized, even more so than when he heard the news of Xie Yuze's death.

Xie Tongchen couldn't understand it.

He couldn't understand why Xie Mingzhu, who was so innocent and adorable when she was a child, had become like this.

Despicable!

Xie Tongchen closed his eyes in despair, feeling as if his heart had been torn in two.

[Luo Hanfeng was poisoned, and Xie Mingzhu saved him. Now is the best time for the two of them to develop their relationship.] The system suddenly spoke up: [At this rate, host, your mission should be completed soon.]

You can go home after completing the task.

Upon hearing this sound, Xie Tongchen opened his closed eyes slightly.

Come back home?

Isn't Xie Xing's home the Xie family's home?

Even if she doesn't acknowledge the Xie family as her family, what about the Song family?

Where exactly does she mean by "going home"?

"Things should be settled now. Come on, I'll take you to get your injuries treated."

Xie Xing didn't explain much to Xie Tongchen. He pulled him up, placed him on the back of the moon, and then took Xie Tongchen to the pharmacy where Jun Lanjin was staying.

Upon arriving at the pharmacy, the owner saw the moon and his expression immediately changed in shock.

tiger!

Seeing this, Xie Xing quickly reassured him, "This is my pet, don't worry."

Upon hearing Xie Xing say that the tiger was her pet, the pharmacy owner's expression changed.

No wonder she's the girl chosen by their prince.

All the pets they keep are tigers.

"This is..." The pharmacy owner glanced at Xie Tongchen on the back of the moon.

Xie Xing said, "Boss, could you please handle this for him?"

The pharmacy owner helped Xie Xing move Xie Tongchen off the moon's back. He lifted Xie Tongchen's wounds, glanced at them, and gasped:

"This person has been injured by so many people, and there are serious injuries everywhere. If it is not treated properly, there may be long-term consequences."

Xie Xing didn't know what to say, so he could only chuckle awkwardly twice.

Xie Tongchen was fighting an entire army by herself; she was only able to save her by sheer luck.

After rescuing Xie Tongchen, Xie Xing didn't care about Xie Tongchen's life or death. He asked the shop owner where Jun Lanjin was and wanted to go see Jun Lanjin, but was stopped by the shop owner.

"His Highness is currently detoxifying; if you go over there, you may catch a chill."

The pharmacy owner said this because he didn't want Xie Xing to go there.

Xie Xing, naturally understanding the situation, simply started working as an assistant in the pharmacy.

With war raging and chaos outside, Chao Le and the others were focused on escaping the city and had no time to care about Xie Xing and the others.

I'm just waiting for the day to get revenge for today's mockery.

Here, Song Ci'an and his men cleared the city gates and led their troops through them. Although they won the battle, they failed to win the hearts of the people.

When Song Ci'an led his army in, all they could see were the people on the street looking at them with lifeless eyes, devoid of joy and even harboring resentment.

Before the Chu army arrived, they still had grain regularly distributed by the southern kingdom, which, although not enough to fill their stomachs, prevented them from starving.

However, the Chu army not only stole the grain that should have belonged to them, but now they have turned the city upside down, and it is unknown how much manpower and resources they will have to spend.

Who is suffering?

It's naturally the ordinary people!

When Song Ci'an met their gazes, her heart sank.

He pursed his lips slightly. If the famine problem couldn't be solved, even if he won the war, he might not win the hearts of the people, and a popular uprising might occur...

"Where is the young general?" Song Ci'an asked, looking at the person beside him.

The soldiers around him were taken aback and said, "After the young general chased after him, he disappeared."

"The commander-in-chief has also disappeared!"

"Ok?"

Where did those two go?

Song Ci'an frowned, a bad feeling creeping into his heart, and sent his men to search for him.

Where did Luo Hanfeng go?

After Xie Mingzhu stole Xie Tongchen's horse, she mounted it and intended to find the army, but she was stunned by what she had heard the soldiers say in the city lord's mansion.

You can't go to them.

If she gets caught, who knows what will happen to her.

But Luo Hanfeng's injuries...

Xie Mingzhu glanced at Luo Hanfeng and saw that Luo Hanfeng's body was getting colder and colder, and the color of his lips was gradually darkening.
