Shen Jiao woke up in Huo Changze's arms.
When she woke up, she had no idea what had happened. She only felt Huo Changze hugging her tighter while trembling.
Huo Changze hugged her as if he were holding a lost treasure. He was so excited that he almost shed tears, "It's okay, it's okay..."
But Shen Jiao was in a daze, not knowing why he reacted so violently. Her memory was still stuck on the scene before she fainted.
She still remembered that man, as if he had done something to her that made her faint... She could still remember the stinging pain on her neck at that time.
"Huo Changze..."
Shen Jiao thought that Xie Yun was a little scared, so she shrank into Huo Changze's arms, crying like a little animal seeking shelter, "Huo Changze... someone wants to harm me..."
Huo Changze felt a pain in his heart when he heard this. He hugged her tighter and said hoarsely: "No way, no way... This kind of thing will never happen again in the future."
Huo Changze patiently coaxed her, but before Shen Jiao calmed down, there was suddenly a burst of noisy footsteps outside the house, as if many people were walking here.
Shen Jiao was a little scared when she heard the huge battle outside, so she buried herself in the man's arms.
Huo Changze patted her comfortingly. He seemed to know who the people were, so he called out, "Lu Xianfeng."
Lu Xianfeng stood guard outside the door. He quickly understood what Huo Changze meant and blocked those people from the door.
The people outside were blocked from entering, but they also knew that Huo Changze was in the room, so they all knelt outside and shouted: "General, please think twice!"
The general kneeling at the front was heartbroken and persuaded loudly: "General! Why do you want to give up your military glory to that villain Sun Wei! This is obviously an honor that you and your brothers have earned through life and death!"
Huo Changze's voice came from inside the room, "There is no need to say more about this matter. This battle is all due to General Sun."
The crowd shouted: "General!"
"General, you must not do this!"
"Then Sun Wei belongs to the second prince. Now that you have given him the generalship, aren't you pushing yourself into a pit of fire?! If the second prince ascends the throne in the future, general, you will not be able to live alone, general!"
Everyone was very excited. They had followed Huo Changze in battle for a long time and were very loyal to Huo Changze. Now that Huo Changze is being ridden by that villain Sun Wei and snatching military honors, the soldiers are really intolerable.
Huo Changze sighed. He didn't know what they were talking about. It's just that Shen Jiao's life was in his hands at that time. No matter how reluctant he was, he could only give up his general skills.
Shen Jiao raised her head from his arms, feeling very confused as she listened to their conversation.
Huo Changze has finished the battle? Why are they saying that Huo Changze wants to give up his military glory to Sun Wei?
Huo Changze's hand slowly caressed her back, his expression was calm, and he said, "I have made up my mind, you all should step aside."
But the people outside persisted in shouting, "General!"
Huo Changze shouted: "Back off! Don't let me say it a second time!"
As soon as these words came out, no matter how unwilling they were, they could only retreat in anger.
Silence suddenly returned outside.
Huo Changze didn't speak for a long time, only gently stroking her back. His eyes were on nowhere, as if he was thinking about something.
"Huo Changze." Shen Jiao called him softly.
"Huh?" Huo Changze came back from his thoughts and looked down at her.
"What do they mean? Why do you want to give up military glory to others?"
Huo Changze smiled when he heard this and did not explain to her. He just said vaguely: "Just take what they want."
Huo Changze leaned down, raised her chin, and pressed his dry lips to the corners of her mouth, "I only want you."
…
Sun Wei was very happy to have snatched the military merit from Huo Changze. He immediately held a celebration banquet and specially invited Huo Changze there.
All the generals in the army gnashed their teeth with hatred towards Sun Wei. They had killed so many of their brothers in this battle, so it was fine that Sun Wei had not done anything, and now he was holding a celebration banquet in front of them in such a grand and luxurious manner.
Sun Wei sat on the high platform, where Huo Changze once sat. As soon as he saw Huo Changze, he smiled and approached, "General Huo, come on, come on, sit down quickly, we have been waiting for you for a long time."
And the position he arranged for Huo Changze happened to be a side seat directly below him.
The other soldiers who supported Huo Changze were very angry when they saw Sun Wei acting like a villain, and immediately prepared to draw their swords and stand up to teach him a lesson.
But Huo Changze glanced at them from the corner of his eye, and they could only hold back their anger and sat back down.
Sun Wei was even more proud when he saw this. He smiled and gestured to Huo Changze, "General Huo, please."
Huo Changze glanced at him and walked to the seat prepared for him by Sun Wei. He did not sit down, but directly picked up the wine glass, turned around and said to everyone: "This glass is dedicated to our dead brothers!"
Others responded one after another, stood up from their seats, raised their wine glasses in the direction of Huo Changze from a distance, with tears in their eyes, shouted: "To our dead brothers!"
After saying that, everyone drank the glass of wine together, and then slammed the glass to the ground. A sharp cracking sound was immediately heard. Sun Wei felt a little frightened when he heard that voice.
Huo Changze gave Sun Wei a final glance and said, "General Sun, I'll take my leave now." After that, Huo Changze turned and left.
When the others saw Huo Changze leaving, they also stood up from their seats and followed Huo Changze.
For a time, there were only a few young generals left, sitting awkwardly on their seats.
Sun Wei's face turned green with anger, Huo Changze was still so arrogant! He wanted to see how long he could be arrogant!
