The man took out a small ceramic bottle from his arms and poured the poisonous solution into his mouth. It melted in his mouth.

Baidujie can detoxify hundreds of poisons, but it can also make people sleepy for a day and a night.

Before he lost consciousness, he summoned his personal bodyguard and handed the jade pendant representing the Yunqi royal family into his hands.

"Take this jade pendant and tell King Linnan that if he doesn't act quickly, not only will he not be able to sit on the dragon throne, but his life will be in danger. Someone is going to complain. Find someone to chase the woman. She can't run far and is hit. My soul is still alive, even if I am lucky enough to escape, she will suffer the same!"

Lingyue used all her strength to escape several miles away from the enemy camp, but gradually lost her strength. In the increasingly cold weather, she actually broke out in a sweat.

Dragging his heavy body and continuing to walk forward, but unable to feel the internal force in his body, he stopped and sat cross-legged on the ground to regulate his breathing.

In just a moment, a mouthful of blood welled up in his throat.

She subconsciously wanted to swallow the blood as usual, but it was impossible to resist the blood deep in her throat.

Looking at the large pool of blood on the ground, she felt a little dazed for a moment, thinking that the moment she approached the man just now, she seemed to have inhaled some unnoticeable dust.

"This feeling is like a lingering soul!"

Lingyue covered her chest, suppressing the smell of blood that surged up from her throat again, and quickly sealed several of her vital points.

After narrowly escaping several waves of pursuing soldiers, he finally returned to the Daqin camp before dawn.

He didn't have time to find a military doctor to remove the poison from his body, so he quickly wrote a letter and wanted to rush 800 miles back to Beijing in person.

Ignoring the lieutenant's obstruction, she got on her horse and was about to gallop away. However, she was exhausted and just as she sat on the horse, she fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the deputy caught her firmly.

When Lingyue woke up, she stared blankly above, her mind going blank for a moment.

He reached out to touch the edge of the bed and felt the familiar wood grain, confirming that he was still in the military camp.

Isn't she going to report to the little princess?

Why are you still in the military camp?

He stood up suddenly, his head felt dizzy. It took him a while to recover, but he heard the deputy general's voice.

"General! You're finally awake! Go call the military doctor!"

"Stop, where's the letter?"

Just saying these four words, Lingyue felt like she was about to collapse.

The deputy general looked at Lingyue's pale face and recalled what the military doctor said after checking Lingyue's pulse after Lingyue fainted. The old man was stunned and his eyes turned red.

Not hearing the deputy general's voice, Lingyue looked around and frowned slightly: "Why aren't there lights in the tent?"

The lights in the tent were brightly lit, and the deputy general's heart sank when he heard this.

He was obviously mentally prepared, but seeing Ling Yue's dull eyes at this moment, he knelt down on one knee and choked with sobs.

"Back to the general, the letter has been sent eight hundred miles away to the capital. The military doctor said... you have been haunted and will lose all five senses within seven days..."

At the end of his words, his voice became smaller and smaller, and the grief in the deputy general's eyes became heavier.

Lingyue was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyelids.

It turned out that it was not that the lamp was not lit in the tent, but that she was blind.

Well, after knowing that she had been haunted, she was ready, but she didn't expect that when she woke up, the first thing she lost was her vision.

Fortunately, she quickly adapted to the darkness, and Lingyue keenly noticed that the military camp was unusually quiet.

The air was filled with the smell of blood, and a bad premonition gradually emerged in my heart.

"You're hiding something from me."

The deputy general was stunned for a moment, and then said after a long while: "During the two days when you were asleep, Yun Qi suddenly raised troops. Most of our troops were transferred out in the past few days, which really caught us off guard."

"How many people are left?"

"Including the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, there are approximately more than 10,000 people."

The air pressure around Ling Yue was frighteningly low. Just as the atmosphere inside the tent became more solemn, a soldier covered in blood stumbled out of the military tent, and then he heard noisy sounds outside.

"Vice general! Yun Qi——"

Before he could finish his words, his whole body was pierced by an arrow and crossbow fired from a distance.

The two immediately became alert.

Lingyue took out a pill from somewhere, threw it into her mouth, took out the dagger from her sleeve and rushed out of the camp.

"Fight!"

The pills taken took effect quickly, and some figures seemed to be vaguely visible.

It was the pill that Qingzhu made for her every time before a battle, saying that no matter what kind of poison she was poisoned or how seriously injured she was, it could protect her heart and save her life.

In the past, she was reluctant to take them because she knew how hard it took Qingzhu to make these pills, but now she had to swallow all the pills she had saved over the years.

The deputy general followed closely behind, fighting a bloody path with Lingyue. However, the disparity in strength between the enemy and ours was too great, and he soon fell behind.

"Damn it!" Lingyue's vision returned to clarity, and she saw a familiar figure. The man was riding a horse and leisurely looking at her dying struggle.

Taking a closer look, he turned out to be the beast he met in Yunqi's camp that day.

"You're really lucky. You were poisoned by my silver needle, but you're still safe!"

He kicked the person in front of him and used his strength to fly towards the man on horseback, delivering a fatal blow.

"How can you still be so alive after being hit? It doesn't matter if we don't fight or know each other, we are even. You don't want to see all your soldiers die in my hands, Yun Qi, do you?"

The man seemed to have seen something strange, so he grabbed her hand, took it into his arms, and said in her ear: "How about you follow His Highness, and I will consider letting them live?"

Feeling the disgusting breath in her ears, a flash of cruelty flashed in Ling Yue's eyes.

He cut off two of his fingers as he raised the knife, then kicked him in the head and kicked him off his horse.

"What kind of beast is worthy of shouting in front of me?"

The man looked at the two fingers that had fallen to the ground, and covered the painful hand with a ferocious expression. He was used to being sought after, and he had never experienced such aggrievedness.

He raised his hand and threw an explosive bomb at her, intending to blow her whole body to pieces.

Lingyue used the back of the knife to catch the inertia and steadily caught the explosive bomb, turned around and smashed it towards where General Yun Qi was.

"Stop struggling! King Linan has transferred his troops back to the capital a long time ago, and now he is probably forcing the palace! If you can't wait for reinforcements, your Qin Kingdom will be annexed by Yun Qi sooner or later!"

Lingyue was distracted by his words. Thinking that the little princess was still in the crisis-ridden palace, her heart was tugged, causing her to not immediately notice that the effect of the medicine in her body had reached a peak and her blood was flowing backwards.

The lingering spirit and the pile of pills she had just taken were fiercely fighting for supremacy in her body.

The vision in front of me was upside down, and the sounds coming from all directions amplified and disappeared.

The man found a flaw, picked up a sword on the ground and stabbed her.

Lingyue noticed that the sword was coming towards her, but when she saw the man's figure, it was a double image, and her body's reaction was much slower.

During the lightning and thunder, she only heard "General, be careful" coming from far and near.

She heard the sound of the sword entering flesh, and warm blood sprayed on her face.

She subconsciously stuck out her tongue and licked the blood that flowed from her cheek to the corner of her mouth. The sweet taste stimulated every nerve in her.

"General... I know you are concerned about the safety of the princess. When most of the troops were mobilized a few days ago, I guessed that King Linan was still planning to rebel... Da Qin may not be able to defend it. If he rushes back now, it may be too late. Save the little princess...don't worry about the city gate...the way Da Qin treats you is not worthy of the protection of your father and daughter!"

The blood in the deputy general's mouth kept pouring out as he spoke. The sword stuck in his chest was pulled out forcefully by the person behind him. The blood drained from his body rapidly. He had no support and fell to his knees on the ground.

"General! In order to protect myself, I failed to stand up and protect you! Now I use my life to protect your daughter! I finally have the face to see you!"

The deputy general lost all strength and fell to the ground.

The man kicked the lieutenant who had just died and spat: "Bah! You talk a lot. If you die, it will be that dead woman's turn!"

Lingyue had a cold look in her eyes. She turned around and dodged behind the man, kicked him in the knee, forced him to kneel to the ground, held down his head and hit the ground hard several times.

In the blink of an eye, the man's entire face was changed beyond recognition, and dirt stuck to his bloody face, which was very disgusting.

Lingyue grabbed the man's neck with one hand and stabbed the dagger straight into his leg. The sound of the bones being split was drowned in the clash of weapons on the battlefield.

"Kill me...just...don't even think about seeing that little princess again..."

The strength in Lingyue's hand stopped. It was at this moment of hesitation that the man saw his subordinates rushing towards him, and quickly grabbed the dust on the ground and threw it in her face.

Being blinded, someone slashed his shoulder into the shoulder blade. Lingyue stabbed the dagger into the abdomen of the person behind him.

When he came back to his senses, the man had already been rescued and returned to Yunqi's army.

It's just that the man lost too much blood and fell into a coma.

Yunqi's army was leaderless and immediately in disarray. Even if it was several times the strength of Da Qin, it would be a mess without a leader.

On the contrary, Da Qin became more and more courageous as they fought. They wanted to avenge their dead brothers and protect their families behind them, so they all became red-blooded.

The Qin Dynasty that these soldiers guarded with their lives was now experiencing civil strife in the capital thousands of miles away.

Corpses on the ground and rivers of blood had only been seen in story books before, but now, even though they were seen in Ling Yue's memories, they were actually there.

Tang Ying looked at the dead soldiers with a dull pain in her heart, and her eyes were full of compassion.

[They protect the lives of the people of Da Qin, but the royal family of Da Qin fights among themselves and even joins forces with other countries to kill their own people in exchange for power. 】

"does it worth?"

She didn't know whether she was asking Lingyue or for the soldiers who were still fighting.

"For Lingyue, Tang Qingzhu is worth it." Yin Zai said solemnly.

After Lingyue led the soldiers to repel Yun Qi, they retreated to the city and did not care about their commander leaving the camp without permission, and rushed to the capital overnight without stopping.

What she didn't notice was that a young man fled into the city, following her route.
