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

Xie Xing hadn't expected Jun Lanjin to have such a strong ability to rally people.

Xie Xing still felt something was strange.

Does Jun Lanjin really trust her that much?

What if she got the wrong way, or what if she didn't know anything at all? Wouldn't that be a waste of manpower and resources?

"If we don't find it, it's just a mistake, but if we find it and no one comes, that's the biggest loss."

Jun Lanjin spoke calmly.

Xie Xing's eyes widened: "How...how could you know what I'm thinking?"

Jun Lanjin rubbed his forehead and said helplessly, "I can tell what you're thinking just by looking at the expression on your face."

Even without mind-reading abilities, Xie Xing's facial expressions were remarkably easy to understand.

Xie Xing: "..."

She touched her face.

Is it really that obvious?

System: [Standing before you is an old fox.]

Xie Xing: ...

alright,

This is really true.

As soon as the signal rang out, the Fenglang Army, which had been hiding in the shadows, began to emerge from the cliffs.

Lai Xiao, who was imprisoned next to the secret guards, felt as if the sky was about to fall when he saw this scene.

How could this be?

Has the hope of restoring the nation vanished tonight?

At this moment, Luo Hanfeng, who was in the military camp, seemed to sense something and looked up straight at the sky.

When Luo Hanfeng saw a densely packed group of people standing on the cliff, his expression changed drastically.

"Someone!"

"Run away!"

His reaction was the fastest.

A loud shout drew everyone's attention to the cliff.

Arrows carrying torches flew straight down.

The torches instantly illuminated the pupils of Luo Hanfeng and the others, turning the originally dark night sky into daylight.

"run!"

Grand Tutor Gu shouted, "Torchlight!"

shhhhhh!

By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late.

The arrows landed on the tents, instantly setting everything on the ground that could be burned.

All the soldiers were so frightened that they fled in all directions.

Of course, some experienced soldiers reacted quickly and gathered their troops together to fight off the arrows.

Grand Tutor Gu never expected that even with all their precautions, they would still be able to capture them!

what is this? !

Luo Hanfeng knew the reason.

This is no longer a question of whether they can defend against it or not. No matter how hard they try, they can't defend against someone with a prophetic ability.

After he finished firing his arrows, Luo Hanfeng heard the sounds of the enemy attacking.

He fixed his eyes.

"The Fenglang Army under Jun Lanjin?"

what?

Xie Mingzhu was stunned.

On the cliff stood a military flag with a huge wolf's head on it.

Xie Mingzhu, who was born into a family of military officers, recognized the flag at a glance.

Luo Hanfeng gritted his teeth.

He pulled Xie Mingzhu over and said, "Jun Lanjin's Fenglang Army is here, which proves that he himself is not far away."

"In this battle, we can only retreat, not advance."

"Go and speak with Grand Tutor Gu."

Xie Mingzhu immediately relayed the message to Grand Tutor Gu.

When Grand Tutor Gu heard that it was Jun Lanjin's Fenglang Army, his legs almost went weak with fear.

"Prince Jin? What's he doing here?!"

Luo Hanfeng said coldly, "I'm afraid this has been planned for a long time."

"Let's go."

After delivering the message, Luo Hanfeng pulled Xie Mingzhu and turned to leave.

Grand Tutor Gu lowered his eyes and hesitated for a moment, the desolation on his face was obvious.

Finished!

It's all over!

Years of planning are about to be ruined tonight!

We'll save as many as we can right now!

Grand Tutor Gu gritted his teeth and shouted, "Escape from the back mountain!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd retreated while still standing.

In an instant, blood covered the ground of the entire camp, and the thick smell of blood made Xie Xing cover his mouth and nose.

Jun Lanjin stood on the treetop, raised his hand, and immediately five or six figures came over. They landed around Jun Lanjin and knelt on the treetop: "Your Highness!"

Jun Lanjin said calmly, "Find Xie Mingzhu and Luo Hanfeng, alive or dead."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the group used their light-footed skills to leap away from the branches.

Xie Xing looked at the branch where they had landed. The branch swayed slightly twice before settling back to stillness.

It was as if no one had been standing there just moments before.

"Let's go." Jun Lanjin glanced at Xie Xing's pale face, then said in a low voice, "That's how it is in chaotic times. Human life is insignificant under the manipulation of those in power."

"The value of an ordinary person's life depends on whether the world is stable."

“When those in power get tired of the power struggle, they will have time to focus on the people’s livelihood and act like a wise ruler.”

"Those in power who truly follow the will of the people are few and far between."

"Especially now, nobody cares about the lives of ants."

Xie Xing hadn't expected Jun Lanjin to say these things to her at this moment.

She paused for a moment, then looked up at Jun Lanjin.

The red firelight illuminated his pale face, and his dark eyes revealed little emotion.

Xie Xing asked, "And what about you, Your Highness?"

Jun Lanjin chuckled and said, "I have no heart to be a wise ruler. In my position, I have stained my hands with so much blood that I can't even count it myself."

"I am not fit to be a wise ruler."

Jun Lanjin had no interest in the throne.

Xie Xing bit her lip, unsure of what to say.

Each generation has its own way of surviving. She is now like an ant below, powerless and dependent on others for survival.

She has no power, so naturally no one listens to her.

She had no power, so naturally no one cared about her thoughts or ideas.

In this era, those without power or influence are easily bullied, and who cares about the thoughts of ordinary people?

"Why is Your Highness suddenly telling me this?" Xie Xing looked at Jun Lanjin with a puzzled expression.

Jun Lanjin said, "I see that you look sad, so I think you are not feeling well. I will say a few words to you to make you feel better."

Xie Xing: "..."

Thank you so much.

Not only did things not get better, but I started thinking even more.

Only when you are truly in the midst of it all do you realize just how significant it is to have a wise ruler.

When a person reaches that position, their greed will be magnified infinitely.

Xie Xing sighed and said, "Your Highness, I don't have that many thoughts. Let's go."

Out of sight is pure.

No one can stop her from going home!

Jun Lanjin put his arm around Xie Xing's waist, and with a light tap of his toes, they climbed down from the tree.

……

the other side--

After Xie Yuze escaped from the military camp, he turned around and saw Jun Lanjin's Fenglang Army.

Upon thinking of Feng Langjun, Xie Yuze's expression changed.

In his previous life, Jun Lanjin's Fenglang Army was naturally an invincible force.

However, after Jun Lanjin's death, it disappeared without a trace.

Why is it?

Xie Yuze kept this in mind and then quickly ran up the mountain.

Whether it was fate or something else, Xie Yuze unexpectedly ran into Xie Mingzhu, who was escaping with Luo Hanfeng, halfway there.
