Madam General, please run slower.

Wei Shiliu was pinned to the ground and beaten violently by Li.

At the beginning, Wei Shiliu wanted to hide, but Li didn't give him the chance and kept hitting him.

Wei Shiliu: It’s over, it’s over. The little princess is mad at her master and is taking it out on him. Ouch, it hurts!

"Go back and tell your master that I won't serve you anymore." Li scolded Yu Xun while beating him. "Don't let him move his head around outside. Are you afraid that others don't know that it's full of water? While I still treat him as a human being, tell him to get out of here."

Seeing that Wei Shiliu still wanted to hide, Li pulled him back and whispered in his ear from a distance: "It will be painful to clear the meridians, bear with it."

Wei Shiliu: He knew that the princess wouldn’t hit him for no reason!

Because of Li's words, Wei Shiliu went from being confused at first to being beaten willingly later on, and he even wanted to get closer to Li's fist.

But what meridians are being cleared? He is about to faint from the pain!

It was not until he saw the spiritual power condensed in Li's palm that Wei Shiliu realized that something was wrong, and it was too late to escape when he wanted to.

The biting cold spread from the abdomen to the whole body. Wei Shiliu could not help shivering and could not tell whether he was in pain or cold.

Before his consciousness faded, Wei Shiliu noticed Li reaching out and pressing her hand on his forehead, and he forced himself to look up at her.

"If your master doesn't want you to work for him, then you should follow the stone lion, stay in Chaozhou and practice according to this method."

Wei Shiliu could no longer think about it and could only nod mechanically. While unconscious, he heard the girl's gentle and smiling voice:

"Good-bye, my friend."

Li Fan looked at the purse and the set of silver needles she had taken from Wei Shiliu's arms. This money was enough for her to buy a horse and return to the general's mansion in the capital to move her dowry.

But before leaving, she had to go see someone first.

Once again wondering why Li, who didn't have a storage ring, resigned himself to his fate and ran over the wall, while none of the eleven people who were responsible for guarding the place secretly dared to stop him.

Since they can't stop him anyway, there's no need to go out and get beaten. The guy who was beaten in the yard isn't even sure whether he's dead or alive.

^-^-^

The news that Li had beaten Wei Shiliu and escaped alone soon reached Yu Xun.

"She didn't take Wei Shiliu with her?" Yu Xun put down the book in his hand and raised his head from the pile of letters.

Yu Xun was not surprised to hear that Li was gone, but he was still a little surprised to hear that Wei Shiliu was beaten unconscious.

"Yes." Wei Wu responded in a low voice. When he first learned about this, he was as confused as his master. They always thought that Wei Shiliu would end up being the little princess's man, and recently they had begun to hide some things in the Dark Guard Camp from him.

Thinking of Wei Shiliu covered in wounds and unconscious, Wei Wu felt quite guilty.

"How badly is Wei Shiliu injured?" Yu Xun stroked the pen in his hand, and Li's words kept coming to his mind. Wei Shiliu had been in the Dark Guard Camp for five years, and Wei Yi also recognized the character of this boy, so he shouldn't have doubted him.

"He is still unconscious. The doctor is helpless. I think he was injured by spiritual power."

Yu Xun took a deep breath and began to wave his hands to drive them away. "Let's forget about this matter. Send him back to the Dark Guard Camp to recuperate."

"Yes."

After Wei Wu left, Yu Xun continued to deal with military affairs, but when he saw that the prince wanted to take over the remaining Yu family army in his hands on the grounds of losing the war, he was so angry that he smashed the inkstone at hand. As if he was not satisfied, Yu Xun began to smash whatever he had at hand.

Hearing the crackling sound of things being smashed in the tent, the two soldiers at the door looked at each other and took two steps outward in tacit understanding. They were used to it.

After venting his anger, Yu Xun leaned back in his chair tiredly. His eyes, bloodshot from lack of sleep, stared at the gray fox fur hanging beside him. "Qu Tangli, oh Qu Tangli, are you so cruel to everyone?"

"Ahem, General." The young general who came to report the matter dared to call out when he saw that the tent had become quiet again.

"Come in." Yu Xun pinched his brows in annoyance. These things just kept happening one after another without stopping. "What's this time?"

The young general clasped his fists and replied, "Lieutenant General Wu is awake."

"Wu Huang is awake?!" Yu Xun immediately perked up, stood up and rushed towards Wu Huang's tent.

In Wu Huang's tent, the doctor was woken up in the middle of the night and was muttering to himself while examining his wounds.

"Wu Huang!" Yu Xun's breath was a little unstable. Seeing that Wu Huang wanted to stand up and return the greeting, he quickly pushed him back and turned to ask the doctor, "How is he?"

"Reporting to the general, this is a miracle, it is simply a miracle!" The old doctor was very excited. It was also the first time he had seen such a thing. "Lieutenant General Wu's internal injuries have healed. He will be able to go out normally after a few more days of recuperation."

"Didn't you say yesterday that he was badly injured and might not wake up?" Yu Xun frowned and looked at the doctor with a sharp look.

"This..." The doctor was frightened by Yu Xun's eyes and replied hurriedly: "I dare not deceive the general. Deputy General Wu's pulse was indeed weak yesterday."

"General, I have something important to report." Seeing that Yu Xun wanted to ask more questions, Wu Huang interrupted him.

Yu Xun understood and waved his hand to let everyone retreat.

"How is it? Are you still feeling unwell?" Yu Xun reached out and poured him a glass of water.

Wu Huang shook his head and took a few sips of water before his dry throat became relieved.

"I failed to perform my duties properly, which resulted in heavy casualties in this battle. Please punish me, General."

Yu Xun sat down on the chair beside the bed. Seeing that he was in good spirits, he finally felt relieved.

"We'll discuss the punishment after you've recovered from your injuries."

Wu Yu pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Did the general... have an argument with the princess?"

Yu Xun didn't expect him to ask this, and was stunned for a moment, "How do you know? No, she has been here?"

No wonder! No wonder the man who was judged to be seriously injured and unable to wake up yesterday actually recovered today. Only a monster could do such a magical thing.

"Yes." Wu Wei responded in a low voice, "It was the little princess who came to heal my wounds. I don't know how she did it. When I woke up, I saw that she looked very weak."

Yu Xun: "She can control her spiritual power to devour the wounds in your body, but after devouring them, she will suffer the same pain. Her weakness should be caused by the backlash."

Wu Yan thought of Li's pale face just now and was very worried, "Is the little princess okay?"

"No, the backlash will only last for a short time." Yu Xun couldn't really say for sure, after all, Wu Hao's injuries were much more serious this time.

Yu Xun is feeling very complicated now. This is how she helped him relieve his love poison in the beginning, but why is she helping Wu Zhuo now?

As if seeing Yu Xun's doubts, Wu Huang said, "Before the little princess left, she left a message. I guess it was for the general."

Yu Xun: "What did she say?"

"A return gift of a hairpin."

After hearing Wu Yan's words, Yu Xun fell silent. He really couldn't understand what this vixen was thinking.

"General, do you suspect that the little princess leaked the news of this defeat?" Wu Yu, who had been with Yu Xun for many years, knew what Yu Xun was thinking. "It wasn't the little princess who did it."

"Wu Huang, you..."
