Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

Xuan Chen was equally anxious. His spear moved like a dragon among the enemies, but he was unable to break through their defenses.

Their breathing became rapid, their hearts pounding like drums, but they dared not relax in the slightest, for they knew that if they let their guard down, the young lady would be in even greater danger.

At that moment, Su Lianxue, inside the carriage, was terrified by the sudden turn of events and turned pale. Before she could react, she was grabbed by the enemy.

The man was masked, and the knife in his hand was pressed tightly against Su Lianxue's pale neck. Su Lianxue felt a chill on her neck, and a wave of fear washed over her. But she tried to remain calm, attempting to find a chance to escape.

Xuan Ying and Xuan Chen were stunned by what they saw. Their movements froze instantly, their eyes filled with shock and anger.

They dared not make any further move, fearing that the slightest mistake would endanger Su Lianxue's life. At this moment, their hearts were filled with helplessness and despair. They hated their own powerlessness, and hated the enemy's cunning and cruelty. They could only watch helplessly as Miss Su was taken hostage, unable to mount any effective counterattack.

Just then, a sharp arrow, like lightning piercing the sky, shot towards Prince Ulch at an extremely fast speed.

The arrow whistled through the air, seemingly capable of piercing through anything. Ulchi was startled; he had no time to think further and instinctively released his grip on Su Lianxue.

Almost simultaneously, a second arrow whistled through the air, its speed astonishing. Left with no other option, Ulki had to distance himself from Su Lianxue once more to avoid this deadly attack.

In that split second, a dark figure moved with ghostly speed. The figure moved so fast it was almost instantaneous. In a flash, the figure pulled Su Lianxue towards itself, the movement swift and decisive.

All of this happened so suddenly, so fast, that no one had time to react.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events. Their eyes widened in disbelief, as if time had frozen at that moment.

The moment Ulchi saw Chu Mohan, a wave of despair washed over him. He knew perfectly well that with Chu Mohan present, the mission had absolutely no chance of success.

Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly turned and fled. His figure darted through the dense forest like a frightened bird.

Chu Mohan held Su Lianxue tightly, his hands still trembling slightly. That trembling contained his deep worry and lingering fear for Su Lianxue.

By this time, Xuan Ying and Xuan Chen had recovered from their shock. Their eyes burned with fury as they swiftly pursued the enemy.

Their figures moved like arrows released from a bow, swiftly cutting through the dense forest. They had only one thought in their minds: to bring the enemy to justice and avenge the young lady's ordeal.

The moment Chu Mohan saw the distress signal, a surge of intense fear overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

His eyes were fixed on the flashing signal, and countless terrifying speculations surged through his mind. He knew that with Xuan Ying and Xuan Chen's extraordinary strength, they were powerful individuals who had been tempered through countless life-and-death trials, and they would never send out such a signal under normal circumstances.

The fact that they were able to send out such a signal means that they must have encountered an extremely dangerous situation, a terrible predicament that even they could not cope with.

When his gaze fell upon the knife held to Su Lianxue's neck, he felt as if his heart were about to stop beating. His eyes were filled with terror and worry, and he seemed frozen in place.

......

On the way back, the sky was so overcast it seemed about to drip water. A cold wind blew, and the leaves rustled, as if telling a story of unease.

Chu Mohan held Su Lianxue tightly, his anger burning like a raging inferno. That anger seemed capable of incinerating everything; he hated those who dared to harm Su Lianxue, and he hated himself for not sensing the danger sooner. The surrounding air seemed to heat up with his rage, making it hard to breathe.

Su Lianxue was now filled with remorse for her decision. She was filled with guilt, feeling that her rashness had put everyone in such a dangerous situation.

Back at the general's mansion, the sky grew increasingly dark, with rolling dark clouds, as if a blizzard was about to strike.

Chu Mohan immediately ordered someone to summon the military physician to check on Su Lianxue's condition. His eyes were full of concern and anxiety, fearing that something might happen to Su Lianxue.

Chu Mohan roared at his men, "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly and find out who is so audacious as to do such a thing!"

Inform Magistrate Wang, Wang Fu, and others to thoroughly investigate the spies in the city. These people are really taking me less and less seriously.

And who exactly is that commoner? I need to find out for myself! His voice was as loud as thunder, full of authority and anger.

The entire general's mansion was shrouded in a tense atmosphere. The servants were silent and hurriedly obeyed their orders, fearing that they might anger the general in his rage.

......

Xiao Tao looked at Xiao Mei, her eyes filled with heartache and anxiety. Xiao Mei's body was covered with shocking wounds, her clothes were torn and stained with blood.

That sight was so distressing, it felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart tightly. Xiao Tao's eyes instantly reddened; she never imagined that what was supposed to be a rescue would turn into such a perilous situation.

Despite her severe injuries and pale complexion, Xiaomei forced herself to speak weakly to Xiaotao, saying, "Go and take good care of Miss. It's all my fault for not protecting her."

After saying this, she could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face like beads from a broken string. In those tears was deep self-reproach; she felt she had failed to protect her mistress.

Xiao Tao said, "You take good care of your injuries. I'm going to attend to Miss."

This incident truly terrified Zhang Mama. She cursed those malicious people in her heart, hating their audacity in framing her young mistress.

Her face was full of worry and anger, and she trembled with rage at the thought of the fright and danger her young lady had suffered.

Because Su Lianxue was greatly frightened, Chu Mohan was filled with worry, fearing that her body could not withstand it. Therefore, he instructed Zhang Mama to take good care of the young lady.

A short while later, the military doctor arrived hurriedly with his medicine kit on his back. He looked grave and quickly entered the room, coming to Su Lianxue's bedside.

The military doctor carefully took Su Lianxue's pulse, his fingers gently resting on her slender wrist, feeling the pulse beating.
