On the other side, Xiao Qirui brought Song Jinghuan back to his tent.

“I’ll get someone to send you back to the capital tomorrow,” Xiao Qirui said directly.

Song Jinghuan frowned. “General, you want to chase me out of the military camp. Have I made a mistake?”

Because she had insulted Meng Linlang? That shouldn’t be the case. Didn’t the general speak up for her just now?

Knowing that she had misunderstood, Xiao Qirui sighed and said earnestly, “Sister Huan, your brother wrote to me previously to ask me to take care of you, but as you can see, Nanling Pa.s.s is in danger of being broken through by the Wu Kingdom’s army at any moment. If anything happens to you while you’re here, how will I explain it to your brother?”

Because he treated Sister Huan as his sister, he didn’t beat around the bush.

He was not saying this to scare her. If they continued to defend pa.s.sively, it was only a matter of time before the city fell.

Song Huan rolled her eyes. “Once Nanling Pa.s.s is breached, all of us will die. What are you going to explain?

Nanling Pa.s.s was surrounded by high walls on all sides, and there were only two st.u.r.dy city gates at the front and back. It was an important barrier that Great Xia used to defend against the invasion of the Wu Kingdom’s army.

During times of peace, there were still commoners living here, but once there was a war, the commoners would be moved to Qingyang City behind Nanling Pa.s.s.

Amidst the flames of war, the defense of Qingyang City was not strong. The reason why they were asked to migrate there was because once the Wu

Kingdom’s army broke through the eastern city, the soldiers in the pa.s.s would cut off the suspension cables of the western city and use their flesh and blood to buy time for the citizens of Qingyang City to leave.

As for why they didn’t let the commoners retreat at the beginning, it was naturally because of their morale.

Xiao Qirui held his forehead. “Song Jinghuan!”

He felt that even if nothing happened to this little girl, he wouldn’t be able to explain himself when he saw Song Jingchen.

This good girl had become a rough tomboy after a trip to the military camp. Whose fault was this?

How could he have known that Sister Huan had already been poisoned by someone before she came to the military camp? However, she knew how to disguise herself in front of Song Jingchen and Madam Li.

Otherwise, which twelve-year-old girl would dare to run away from home without a word and follow the army to the battlefield?

However, she was still young. Whether it was her figure or her voice, it was difficult to tell if she was male or female. This was why no one saw through her disguise.

“General, my name is Song Huan.” She suddenly raised her voice.

Xiao Qirui was shocked by her loud voice. He held his forehead and said, “Are you really not leaving?

“I’m not leaving.” Song Jinghuan shook her head repeatedly. “My brother and sister-in-law will be here soon. I want to wait for them here.”

She was confident in her brother and sister-in-law. As long as they were around, they would definitely be able to defeat the Wu Kingdom’s army.

Xiao Qirui lowered his eyes. “It will take at least a month and a half to get here from the capital of the Xuanyuan Kingdom. What if they can’t arrive in time before the city falls?”

“It’s been half a month since they received the letter. Let’s hold on for another month.” Song Jinghuan paused and blinked.” It’s fine if they don’t arrive on time. In the future, my name will be famous in our Song family. ‘

Xiao Qirui’s heart skipped a beat. He swallowed his words and reminded her, “The Meng family is not a magnanimous family. If you encounter them again, ignore them. Come and look for me if anything happens.”

She wasn’t afraid of them!

Song Jinghuan didn’t show it on her face. She replied obediently, “Yes.”

Afraid that Xiao Qirui would continue to lecture her, she said, “General, you’re injured. I’ll help you call the military doctor in.”

With that, she turned around and fled the tent without waiting for Xiao Qirui to speak.

Not wanting to run too quickly, she b.u.mped into a soldier wandering outside the tent.

“Ouch.”

That person was a head taller than Song Jinghuan. She was fine, but the other party’s chin was almost broken by her head.

His sister-in-law had said that one had to be reasonable. Song Jinghuan admitted that it was because of her. She was about to apologize when she looked up and saw who it was. She stopped herself from apologizing and said angrily, “Liu Jinbao, why are you sneaking around here?”

Liu Jinbao held his chin with one hand and endured the pain. “Who said I was being sneaky? General Xiao was injured because he saved me. Can I show some concern?”

Song Jinghuan suddenly understood. “I was wondering why the general was injured. So it’s because of you.”

“It’s not that I want to criticize you, but why did you come to this battlefield instead of being the young master of a landowning family?” Liu Jinbao was indignant. “You’re from a duke’s family…”

Before he could finish, a hand covered his mouth.

“Liu Jinbao, do you want to die?” Song Jinghuan narrowed her eyes and leaned over to threaten him softly.

There were other female soldiers here, but they were all in the reserve camp and did not have many opportunities to go to the battlefield to kill enemies. She did not want to be transferred there.

Looking at the exquisite face so close to him, Liu Jinbao’s heart pounded, and his earlobes turned red.

Song Jinghuan thought that he was frightened by her and let go of him in disdain. Sensing that her palms were wet from the hot air he exhaled, she rubbed it off on him impolitely and punched him. “If you dare to spout nonsense again, I’ll beat you up until your father doesn’t recognize you.”

Liu Jinbao shrank back in fear. “Alright.” Seeing her turn around and leave, he quickly chased after her. “Where are you going?

“It’s none of your business where I go.”

After taking two steps, she paused.. “Don’t you still have to show your concern to the general? Why are you following me?”
