Reincarnation and Rebirth

Hmm, not bad, as expected of General Xiao.

"Your injury is serious. Here, take this medicine."

Shunqing frowned as he looked at the medicine bottle in Su Wan'er's hand and asked, "What kind of medicine is this?"

Su Wan'er rolled her eyes. If he weren't Xiao Yunting's older brother, she wouldn't have been willing to reveal her identity. "If your master's injury is delayed for another half an hour, he will be going to meet the King of Hell. Whether you eat or not is up to you. As for you, you can only hold on until tomorrow at most."

Shunqing was shocked and exclaimed, "You're talking nonsense!"

“Whether I’m lying or not, you all know perfectly well. You’re not just simply injured; you’ve been poisoned by the Blood Fiend Powder unique to the Purple Flame Kingdom. Anyone poisoned will bleed incessantly from any wound until they die. Your master has already reached his limit by the time he’s lasted this long. As for you, your poisoning isn’t as severe as your master’s.”

Xiao Yun Shen felt that this woman was no ordinary person, as she even knew about the unique poison of the Zi Yan royal family. "Miss, may I ask your name? I will definitely repay your great kindness in the future."

"You believe me?"

“The girl has already said that I am a dying man, so why bother to deceive me?”

"Yes, that's true. Then take your medicine and leave quickly."

Dropping the medicine bottle, Su Wan'er left without looking back. "By the way, it's best to leave before dawn, as the area is currently teeming with Black Tiger Stronghold members."

After Su Wan'er disappeared from sight, Shunqing looked at the medicine bottle on the ground and hesitated, "Master, is this girl reliable?"

Xiao Yun Shen collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted. "I was just barely holding on, Shun Qing. With that girl's skill, taking our lives would have been a piece of cake."

"Then this medicine?"

"bring here."

Shunqing picked up the medicine bottle, opened it, and found that there were exactly two pills. He quickly took out one and swallowed it. "Master, I will try the medicine first."

Before Xiao Yun Shen could say anything, Shun Qing had already thrown the pill into his mouth.

It melts in your mouth, leaving Shunqing no room for regret.

After an incense stick had burned, Shunqing's eyes lit up with joy. "Master, this is a divine medicine! After taking it, I not only feel that my body has recovered, but my internal strength also seems to have increased. Master, please take it!"

Xiao Yunshen remained suspicious, but took the medicine and swallowed it.

After a long pause, he said incredulously, "Shunqing, this girl is no ordinary person. How could she be content to live in such a place?"

"Master, could it be that this girl has deceived us?"

Xiao Yunshen shook his head. "No, I did see her go in through the window just now. There are always mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people. There are indeed hidden masters in the world. Let's go and not cause them any trouble."

"Master, shall we return to the capital now, or go to Qingzhou?"

"Go back to Qingzhou."

“Master, Qingzhou has been taken over by Ziyan. We are now outnumbered and outmatched. Even if we go back, we will not be able to resist.”

"Shunqing, the Thunder Army has hundreds of thousands of soldiers who have followed me through thick and thin. I cannot watch them die. Rest assured."

Shunqing's eyes welled up with tears. "But General, they're just waiting for you to go back and walk right into their trap."

"We still have to go back. Hopefully, Shunlei and the others are alright."

Upon hearing this, Shunqing's eyes darkened.

That day, Shunlei and Shunyi kept watch outside the camp. However, to their utter surprise, the General of the Cavalry beside the general was actually one of Ziyan's men. He had hidden himself so well that when he learned that there was a sudden surplus of military rations in the army, he actually took a risk and directly poisoned Xiao Yunshen.

Blood Fiend Powder is colorless and odorless, but due to its rarity, only the Purple Flame Royal Family possesses it. Shunqing, having been by Xiao Yun Shen's side for many years, was also contaminated with it.

Previously, General Piaoji had sent his trusted men to inform Ziyan, but they were followed by Shunlei and Shunyi. When they discovered Ziyan's army camp and tried to return, they were surrounded by Ziyan people. Now, it is unknown whether they are dead or alive.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunshen felt a dull ache in his heart.

After his incident, the military camp was thrown into chaos. The General of the Cavalry was killed by Vice General Qian with a single sword stroke, but it was too late. The Purple Flame Army was at the city gates, and the Thunder Army fought back fiercely.

General Feng was shot to death by a hail of arrows while protecting Xiao Yunshen. Before he died, he stared at Xiao Yunshen and said, "General, go quickly. As long as we live, we can always rebuild."

Xiao Yun Shen naturally refused to leave, but Deputy General Qian held him tightly, saying, "General, you must leave quickly. Putting aside the fact that you are already poisoned, just look at all the people in the city. Can you bear to see them suffer at the hands of the Zi Yan Kingdom?"

Deputy General Zhang's bloodshot eyes were filled with hatred. "General, you should go back and request the Emperor to send troops to support you. I will wait for you to return."

In the chaos of battle, Xiao Yunshen was stabbed several times and fell into a coma. Shunqing risked his life to take him away from Qingzhou, and they finally arrived in Meizhou with great difficulty.

If it weren't for the fact that the road was full of Zi Yan's spies, they wouldn't still be unable to treat their wounds.

Now, their poison and injuries have been cured by a peasant girl's elixir, and Shunqing simply can't believe it.

"Shunqing, take my token back to the capital, find the Second Young Master, and do your best to see the Emperor." Xiao Yun Shen still couldn't believe that the Emperor of a country wouldn't know the importance of Qingzhou. It must be that the previous memorials hadn't been seen by the Emperor.

"Master, you must not!"

"This is an order."

Shunqing immediately knelt down, "Your subordinate obeys," he raised his head, his eyes red-rimmed, "Master, please be careful on your journey."

"Don't worry, this general won't die so easily."

Su Wan'er heard everything clearly inside, and was so angry she wanted to go out and wake Xiao Yun Shen up again. But then she thought about it, and realized that he was the true body of the Zi Yun Kingdom, and his heart was with his country. It was understandable that he didn't want to see Zi Yun destroyed.

She sighed. Well, she had already saved him once, escaping the fate of dying young in her previous life. He shouldn't be in any more trouble, right?

However, things are unpredictable. Before the two could leave, a scream suddenly rang out from the village entrance, and Xiao Yunshen knew something was wrong.

Su Wan'er realized that it was her cheap father's turn to be on duty tonight, so she put on her clothes and headed for the door.

"Big sister, I think I just heard a sound."

Su Wan'er turned around and said solemnly, "Xiang'er, wake up your sister-in-law and mother, pack some simple things, and wait for your eldest sister to come back."

Seeing Su Wan'er's serious expression, Su Xiang'er panicked a little, "Big sister, have bandits entered the village?"

"I don't know, eldest sister, go out and check."

"No, sister, don't go, I'm worried about you."

"Don't worry, stop dawdling and get ready."

Just as she stepped out of the room, Madam Wang woke up, her face filled with panic. "Wan'er, your father, he'll be alright, right?"

Su Wan'er paused, "Don't worry, I'll go take a look and be right back."

Most of the villagers were alerted, and Old Man Su was the first to rush to the courtyard. When he saw Su Wan'er come out, a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes. "Where are you going?"

"Grandpa, I heard some noise at the village entrance. I'm worried about Dad. Grandpa, please have Uncle and the others come with me to check it out."

Grandma Su opened the door and overheard Su Wan'er's words. She immediately jumped up and down, "You brat! Your uncle is a scholar. What can he do if bandits really come to the village? Go yourself if you want to."

Su Wan'er looked at Old Man Su, "Sir, what do you think?"
