The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Duan Tianyang gave a bitter smile. He never expected to be valued by the court. He just hoped that his power would not be stripped after the war, and he was already smiling secretly.

While talking with Zheng Guang, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from afar, and the generals of the imperial army came galloping. They reined in their horses, dismounted, and saluted in a loud and uniform voice: "This general greets Lord Duan!"

The leader was none other than Feng Sheng, the commander of the 15th Legion of the imperial court. His eyes were slightly red and his expression was solemn: "If it weren't for Lord Duan's timely assistance, I'm afraid our lives would have been hanging by a thread. Here, on behalf of all the soldiers of the army, I would like to express my deepest respect to Lord Duan!"

After saying that, Feng Sheng actually knelt down and kowtowed deeply to Duan Tianyang.

You know, in terms of rank, the status of the National Army Corps Commander is far higher than that of him, the lord of a subordinate city. This move is indeed a great gift.

Duan Tianyang hurried forward and helped Feng Sheng up. At the same time, he waved his hand to the generals to indicate that they should not be polite. He said in a gentle tone: "General Feng, you are too polite. You and I are both fighting for our country. Why should we be so polite?"

He glanced at everyone, his heart moved slightly, but he did not see Yi Shuirou's figure, so he couldn't help asking: "Where is the princess?"

Feng Sheng quickly calmed down after hearing this and replied in a serious tone, "The princess is currently recuperating in the city due to her injuries. Lord Duan, please follow us into the city for a chat."

Duan Tianyang nodded in agreement, then turned to Zheng Guang and said solemnly: "General Zheng, please arrange for someone to properly cremate the bodies of the fallen soldiers and escort the ashes back to Xiguan, so that their souls can return to their hometown. At the same time, the seriously injured brothers must be sent back to the pass as soon as possible, and they must be carefully taken care of on the way. No mistakes can be made."

After Duan Tianyang finished speaking, Zheng Guang bowed and said, "Yes, sir, I will execute it immediately!" After saying that, he turned and left.

The generals of the 15th Army looked at Zheng Guang's departing back with puzzled expressions on their faces. Feng Sheng couldn't help but ask softly, "Master Duan, General Zheng..."

Duan Tianyang smiled slightly and explained, "The troops led by General Zheng have unfortunately been destroyed by the Jin army and are currently being used by our army. I will explain this to the princess when I see her."

"I see." Feng Sheng's doubts were slightly relieved after hearing this, and he stepped aside to invite him: "Master Duan, please enter the city."

Accompanied by the generals of the Hongxing Army and the Imperial Army, Duan Tianyang walked to the outside of Mu City.

At this moment, the walls of Mucheng were mottled and scarred, as if every inch of brick and stone told of the fierceness of the Jin army's siege.

Yi Shuirou defended the isolated city with her small remaining troops. Her tenacity was moving.

When they reached the city gate, they heard soldiers shouting from inside the city: "The princess has arrived!"

At one moment, Duan Tianyang and the others dismounted and stood still waiting.

Not long after, a group of people slowly came out of the city gate. Yi Shuirou, who was in the lead, rode on a tall horse. She looked heroic, but could not hide her sickly look.

Maids Caiyun, Caiyue and others followed closely behind him, and disciples of Linghua Palace such as Gu Jianhong also accompanied him.

"I am here to see the princess!" Duan Tianyang and the other generals saluted in unison, their eyes involuntarily focused on Yi Shuirou.

After not seeing her for many days, she looked much more haggard, her face was as pale as paper, and there was a hint of blue on her lips, revealing the weight she was bearing.

Duan Tianyang felt a surge of pain in his heart. He involuntarily took a few steps forward and whispered softly, "Princess, are you okay?"

This unintentional expression of concern was like a spring breeze, warming Yi Shuirou's heart.

She smiled slightly, slowly stretched out her hand, and said softly: "Tian Yang, help me get off the horse."

Duan Tianyang immediately stepped forward, gently held Yi Shuirou's slender hand, and with the other hand firmly supported her waist, and in an extremely gentle manner, he slowly led her down from the warhorse.

Yi Shuirou's cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes unconsciously swept across the people around her.

The generals present all knew the relationship between Duan Tianyang and Yi Shuirou tacitly, so they all lowered their heads and tacitly chose to turn a blind eye.

Yi Shuirou landed lightly on the ground and gently pushed Duan Tianyang to show her retreat. When Duan Tianyang really took two steps back, she felt a sense of loss inexplicably in her heart.

As a princess, she knew that being too intimate in public was inappropriate, so she had to restrain her emotions.

But at the same time, she is just a young girl in her twenties, and deep down she longs to be cared for and loved.

She stared at Duan Tianyang deeply, wanting to speak but hesitant, and finally turned to face the generals of the Hongxing Army, her voice clear and firm: "Generals, you have worked so hard to come from afar to reinforce us, it's really hard work!"

Upon hearing this, the generals of the Hongxing Army all bowed their hands and responded in unison: "My Lord, you are too kind. Fighting for our country is our duty!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Shuirou smiled warmly and waved her hand, "Generals, please follow me into the city."

After saying that, Yi Shuirou slowly walked towards her mount. When she was about to get on the horse, Duan Tianyang stepped forward again. This time, Yi Shuirou did not refuse and let him gently lift her waist and help her sit steadily on the horse's back.

Afterwards, Duan Tianyang also mounted his horse, and the two walked into Mu City side by side.

Walking on the streets of Mucheng, Duan Tianyang's eyes swept across the scenes on both sides from time to time.

Although Mucheng is not a huge city, it is of considerable size. The buildings in the city are mostly of exotic style, with stone buildings arranged in an orderly manner and residential houses closely connected, forming a unique landscape.

On both sides of the street, more than half of the people were of foreign races, and their faces were as deep as those of modern Europeans and Americans.

As Duan Tianyang was looking around, Yi Shuirou beside him suddenly spoke softly: "I never expected that you would actually lead an army here."

Duan Tianyang was stunned at first, but then he couldn't help laughing and said, "I promised you that I would be there when you need me."

Upon hearing this, Yi Shuirou turned her head and looked at him deeply, with a complex light flashing in her eyes: "So, are you here for me, or for the realm of the gods?"

Duan Tianyang pondered for a moment and said in a gentle voice: "It's both."

Although she had expected it, Yi Shuirou still couldn't help feeling a little lost. She pursed her red lips and sighed softly.

Sensing Yi Shuirou's subtle emotions, Duan Tianyang smiled and added, "It's more for you."

Yi Shuirou turned her head again, her eyes flickering: "Are you serious?"

"Of course." He said firmly.

After a moment of silence, Yi Shuirou mustered up her courage, her cheeks slightly red, and asked softly: "Have you missed me these days?"

After she finished speaking, she was so embarrassed that her cheeks turned red.

"I thought about it." Duan Tianyang answered concisely, but in fact he was always concerned about Yi Shuirou's safety.

The two looked at each other for a long time. Yi Shuirou finally mustered up the courage and whispered, "I miss you, too."

After saying this, she quickly turned her head away, not daring to look at Duan Tianyang again.
