The Cold-blooded Emperor's Vengeful Concubine

Chapter 195: Returning from the Battle

The scout's horse stopped a few steps away from Yun Jingman. He dismounted and came to Yun Jingman, clasping his fists respectfully and saying, "Master Yun!"

"What's going on ahead?" Yun Jingman had a look of shock and indifference on his face, with a slight frown between his brows.

"We were defeated. Our army was beaten all the way back to Hecheng, Shangzhou by the Xuanhuang army."

"And the general?"

"The general is leading his troops back."

"Are there any casualties?"

"Yes. Three thousand casualties."

A gust of wind blew up from the flat ground, blowing through the yellow sand and blurring her eyes. The gloomy clouds once again made her feel suffocated. It would be great if there could be a heavy rain to wash away everything.

Yun Jingman waved away the scouts in front and stood in front of the camp gate waiting for Beitang Yuan.

I couldn't figure out why we lost the first battle. The mall should have been easy to capture. Was there a trap? I thought hard but couldn't figure it out.

While thinking hard, I heard the sound of thousands of horses galloping, their feet kicking up dust, but it was not as brisk as when I set out on the expedition today. Instead, the sound of horse hooves was heavy and depressing.

The first defeat was a blow to the morale of the entire army.

Beitang Yuan, his armor shining, led the way back. Yun Jingman took a look at his dusty face with an icy and frightening expression, and knew that his current state of mind was just like the current sky, heavy and depressed, and he wanted to find a breakthrough.

Beitang Yuan glanced at Yun Jingman who was waiting for him at the military camp gate, but he just glanced at her without any gesture and went back directly.

Yun Jingman just thought he was in a bad mood, ignored him, and did not go forward to ask. Looking at the long line of troops entering the camp, looking at the bloody, broken limbs, and bloody wounded soldiers at the end of the team, he realized that this was war!

Cruel and ruthless war!

Yun Jingman went forward to help a wounded soldier, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?" In fact, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that it was nonsense. How could he be healed with such an injury?

The wounded soldier nodded at Yun Jingman and forced a smile, meaning that he was fine.

Yun Jingman followed the wounded soldiers all the way to the tents where they were housed. He watched as the tents were full of wounded soldiers being abandoned aside, leaving them to groan and wail in pain.

Yun Jingman asked the wounded soldier he had just helped in confusion, "Where's the military doctor?"

The wounded soldier coughed lightly, took a faint breath, and said slowly: "The military doctor will not come."

"Why?"

"Because, being trapped in this tent means we are about to be abandoned." The wounded soldier said intermittently.

Yun Jingman glanced at the wounded soldiers in the tent. Indeed, the wounded here were either missing limbs or had broken heads and were bleeding. They were on the verge of death, so they were just abandoned?

No, she absolutely couldn't do such a thing.

Yun Jingman came to the military doctor's tent and saw no one there. After asking, he found out that the military doctors had all gone to the central army tent, fearing that Beitang Yuan was injured.

Yun Jingman was not in a hurry to go to the central army camp, but ordered the soldiers to feed water and porridge to the injured soldiers. After a day of fighting, they would be hungry, so they had to eat first to replenish their energy.

"But, this..." The soldiers were a little embarrassed. Everyone knew that the soldiers who went to the wounded camp could only wait to die.

"Don't say but. I will take responsibility for anything that happens. Just do it." Yun Jingman said sternly.

"Yes."

After giving instructions, Yun Jingman walked to the central army camp. Seeing that the three military doctors were all there, he glanced at Beitang Yuan, who had a half-naked chest and a bandaged right arm. Apart from that, he did not see any injuries.

"General." Yun Jingman bowed in greeting.

"Yeah." Beitang Yuan responded coldly.

"General, I have something to tell you." Yun Jing glanced at several military doctors and said lightly.

"I'm tired. We can discuss it later. Go down first." Beitang Yuan ignored Yun Jingman's words and waved his hand to leave.

"Yes, General." The three military doctors withdrew.

Yun Jingman stood up straight, motionless, looking at Beitang Yuan indifferently.

"I'm tired. You go down first." Beitang Yuan looked up at Yun Jingman and said coldly.

"Why?" Yun Jingman asked puzzledly.

"Why?" Beitang Yuan stood up, walked to the bed and sat down, with a hint of fatigue between his brows.

"Never mind. I have something I want to tell you."

"I'm tired." Beitang Yuan still made excuses, avoiding Yun Jingman with his eyes.

"In that case, there is no need for me to stay here. Since we don't trust each other, what's the point of staying here?" Yun Jingman said coldly. Beitang Yuan kept avoiding her questions and didn't take the initiative to tell her about the war situation. It was obvious that he had begun to distrust her.

Yun Jingman turned and left angrily.

"Stop!" Beitang Yuan shouted sternly.

"Why do you think so?" Yun Jingman sneered and continued walking forward.

Beitang Yuan ignored the pain in his hand, took a step forward, and grabbed Yun Jingman's hand, "Just because you are here now."

"so what?"

"I won't let you leave!" Beitang Yuan grabbed Yun Jingman's arm tightly, his narrow peach blossom eyes filled with anger.

"What a joke. There is no place in this world that I, Yun Jingman, cannot leave! Let me go!" Yun Jingman frowned and said harshly.

"No, don't leave me!" Beitang Yuan tightly wrapped his left hand around Yun Jingman's slender waist, his voice complex and difficult to understand, revealing a variety of emotions.

"Since you don't trust me, there's no point in me staying. General, please let me go before it's late at night." Yun Jingman said lightly, climbing up Beitang Yuan's arms around her waist and prying them apart with force.

There are many ways to kill Baili Haoxuan, but they are not very fair. Only this one is fair and aboveboard. However, in this case, she does not have to stay.

"I don't distrust you, I just..."

"Just what?" Yun Jingman asked in confusion after hearing the hint of forbearance in Beitang Yuan's words.

"It's him……"

"Who?"

"Baili Haoxuan..."

Baili Haoxuan?

The autumn wind swept by, whistling past, drowning the desolation in the heart.

He actually came...
