When they heard that the general had woken up, everyone had different expressions. Most of them were happy, but there were a few exceptions.

Shen Qingyin took a quick glance and saw everything.

While everyone was still reacting, she turned around and gave an imperceptible wink to the military doctor next to her, and the military doctor entered the tent first.

More than a dozen generals lined up and walked into the tent one by one.

The one walking in front was General Huang. When he saw Mu Beiyan lying on the couch, covered in blood and looking very weak, his eyes were filled with pity.

"General, I went too late. I should have gone earlier..." He couldn't stop shedding tears.

I only hated myself for being so pedantic and insisting on staying in the camp until I heard that the general was injured and then rushed over.

Unfortunately, it's too late -

Mu Beiyan forced a faint smile and said nothing.

The next person to enter the tent was the pale-faced General Xu. As soon as he entered the tent, he stared at the bandage on Mu Beiyan's chest. Seeing that the flesh under the bandage seemed to be bleeding and blood was still flowing out of the bandage, he raised his head, met Mu Beiyan's gaze, and said happily:

"Great! The general is finally awake!"

The voice was very excited, yet it felt inexplicably exaggerated.

Mu Beiyan just nodded slightly and also said nothing.

He waited until more than a dozen generals came in one after another before he signaled the military doctor and Shen Qingyin to help him up, and then he leaned against the couch with a quilt under his back.

"This general... I'm afraid I can't do it..." Mu Beiyan spoke, his voice a little weak.

"General, don't say such discouraging words. Didn't you always say that you would never give up until the last moment?" said one of the young generals with red eyes.

"Yes, General, the army cannot do without Generals, and the Beixin Dynasty cannot do without Generals. You must hold on!" another person echoed.

"General, we are waiting for you to get better and continue to lead us to kill the enemy..." everyone said.

Mu Beiyan waved his hand, "I know my body best, you don't need to say more... just listen to me, listen to what I say next..."

The generals fell silent upon hearing this, and one could hear a pin drop in the tent.

"Pass on my order. If I, if I go, I will temporarily hand over the seal of the general to General Huang, and let him lead the army to continue the battle. The rest, the rest of the generals must, must obey his orders - I will write to the emperor later -"

When General Huang heard this, he didn't show any joy on his face, but instead he looked even more sad. He knelt down with a plop:

"General, I don't want your seal. I just want you to be alive and well!"

Seeing this, the other generals also knelt down and said, "We all hope that the general is safe!"

The same was true for the white-faced General Xu, except that the moment he lowered his head, a hint of uncontrollable pride appeared at the corners of his lips, which was keenly noticed by Shen Qingyin.

Mu Beiyan seemed to be getting weaker and weaker: "Everyone... please stand up quickly, this is a military order!"

The generals refused to stand up.

General Xu took the lead and stood up. He said with a sad face: "Generals, we all feel the same. We all hope that the general can get better. However, we are responsible for the mission of the court and the hopes of the people. We should put the overall situation first!"

"General Xu is right. General Xu has a far-sighted vision and can assist General Huang in handling military affairs in the future..." Mu Beiyan seemed to be forcing himself to say these words, and then became even weaker.

The military doctor hurried forward, felt the patient's pulse, and advised everyone, "Generals, please leave immediately. The general still needs to rest and should not be disturbed too much."

The generals looked at each other, and although they were unwilling, they had no choice but to stand up and leave the tent.

After everyone left, Mu Beiyan regained his normal expression.

He tilted his head and whispered, "Doctor He, please go and guard the door. I have something to say to my wife."

"Yes, General." Doctor He glanced at Shen Qingyin and turned to the door.

But Shen Qingyin called him back: "Military doctor, how is the general's injury?"

The serious injury is fake, but the hurt is real.

Even though Mu Beiyan said it was okay, how could she know if he was comforting her?

The military doctor instantly understood what Shen Qingyin meant, and lowered his voice and said, "Madam, please rest assured. The general's wound seems to be close to the heart, but it is actually just a little flesh. The blood... is not the general's..."

As soon as the military doctor finished speaking, Mu Beiyan laughed silently.

"Fool, don't you believe what I said?"

Mu Beiyan's doting reproach made Shen Qingyin blush all of a sudden.

"I will not disturb the general and his wife talking."

Seeing the two people talking ambiguously, the military doctor fled to the door of the tent and stood beside the two people guarding the door.

"I believe you have already seen it." Mu Beiyan took Shen Qingyin's hand, "The reason why I pretended to be seriously injured is because something went wrong in the army."

Shen Qingyin nodded slightly.

It turned out to be just as she had guessed.

"Now can you tell who has the problem?" Shen Qingyin asked.

Mu Beiyan did not answer but asked: "What about you, did you see it?"

"General Huang seems very loyal, but General Xu is suspicious. Most likely, there is something wrong with General Xu." Shen Qingyin directly expressed his opinion.

Mu Beiyan agreed: "Yes, there is indeed something wrong with General Xu, and there is also General Liu who always agrees with him. I am afraid that both of them have impure thoughts——"

Shen Qingyin realized that something was wrong: "What happened to them that not only did you not keep them under guard, but you also let General Xu assist General Huang?"

Mu Beiyan smiled and motioned Shen Qingyin to sit closer to him.

Then he whispered something in her ear, and Shen Qingyin couldn't help but widen her eyes after hearing it: "What, you said they might have leaked military secrets to the enemy?"

Shen Qingyin's voice was very low, but it could not hide her shock.

As far as she knew, since the founding of the Northern Xin Dynasty, there had never been such a scandal as a general betraying his country on the battlefield.

"That's right." Mu Beiyan's expression turned serious.

"Then, what are you going to do next?" Shen Qingyin asked.

"General Xu is famous for his filial piety, but his family and parents are all in the capital, so he had no reason to do such a thing. It is not difficult to guess that there are other people behind him. I will not touch him for now, just to see who is behind him." There was a hint of cunning in Mu Beiyan's eyes.

Shen Qingyin nodded to show that he understood.

Soon he complained again: "Why did you hurt yourself on purpose and pretend to be seriously injured? You could have just exposed your weakness to them and then followed the clues to find out the real cause. It would be the same."

Mu Beiyan's eyes suddenly became complicated and sad.

"It's not that I want to pretend to be seriously injured, it's because they want to kill me... In my previous life, I died on the battlefield because I was harmed by someone..."
