After the wrong flirtation, I became the villain's favorite

Northern Camp.

The bloody night finally passed. The whole earth seemed to be dyed red with blood, and every inch of soil exuded a strong smell of blood.

The northern region was already dry and dry with little rain. After a few days, the land had completely dried up, turned brown, and cracked, like a gaping mouth, which was creepy.

The Northern Border Army restored its former order. Although there was a lot of discussion about Xie Tan's actions in Yunjing City, in the Northern Border, Xie Tan was the undisputed leader.

The army began to carry out its daily patrol duties in an orderly manner, and a solemn and peaceful atmosphere prevailed on the streets.

The people who had participated in the riots seemed to have disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed. At the same time, the people's food supply miraculously became sufficient and they no longer faced the threat of hunger.

I don’t know who was the first to come back, but then the second and third came, and the people who had left their homes returned to their homeland.

Looking back on the previous indignation and persecution, it seems like a dream.

A captain in heavy armor stood on the top of the city wall. He turned his head and looked at the general in the distance.

The general stood quietly, staring into the distance, as if he was looking at something, yet seemingly looking at nothing.

The captain knew that what the general did that night was undoubtedly the quickest and most effective solution.

Some things can only be suppressed through blood and killing.

However, this action put the general himself in the spotlight, and all kinds of comments were made about him.

"General, I was patrolling in the city today and saw a woman bringing her child out for medical treatment. The doctor said the child could not be saved if they delayed for a few more days. But they did not dare to come out in the past few days. I also saw those merchants who were instigated to maliciously hoard grain voluntarily released the grain... General, it was you who saved them." said the captain.

The captain felt that the general's behavior would be incomprehensible to people who were not in the North. It would be too difficult to make those who sat in high positions understand the complexity and rapid changes of the border.

I wanted to say something to comfort her.

"Liu Zhong, no one can save anyone." Before he could say anything else, Xie Tan's voice rang out, his tone calm and indifferent.

The captain named Liu Zhong looked back at Xie Tan, only to see the white-haired young man looking back from the high platform, his expression as cold as ice and snow, "People must save themselves."

If he hadn't saved himself, he would have become a wronged soul under Xie Yunji's butcher knife.

If he had saved himself earlier, Song Nihuan would not be Xie Yunji's wife!

Xie Tan looked in the direction of Yunjing, his lips curled into a bitter arc, and after a pause he said, "I'm not as great as you say, I just had to do it. If I didn't do that, I'm afraid more innocent people would be involved. The surrounding cities are no longer able to bear more refugees, and the food in the war reserve warehouse cannot be distributed without any response."

"The North has been plagued by problems for a long time, and the people have become accustomed to them. If we want to change them, we have to take drastic measures."

I think the generals who came here before all faced such a situation. The remnants of the tribes who were unwilling to submit encouraged the people and used public opinion to force the Northern Army to surrender and withdraw. They had enough time to recuperate and then they were reborn.

The generals before him had to consider their reputation, the emperor's wrath, and their wives and children, and did not dare to act as decisively as he did.

He had nothing to worry about, and he was very calm about the upcoming trial by the court.

I am so sorry to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I am afraid that I might have implicated him.

"The Saint wants to see the General." The subordinate reported.

"She hasn't left yet?" Xie Tan turned around and saw the woman standing in the wind, "Let her come over."

Xie Tan looked at her. The biting wind from outside the Great Wall made her hair messy, but the eyes hidden in her flying hair were bright as a snow.

"How can you kill me without a weapon?" he asked.

Feng Mian met his scrutinizing gaze calmly and asked, "Why should I kill you?"

Xie Tan was silent for a moment, looking at the red land under the city wall, "I slaughtered your people."

"In fact, this day will come sooner or later." Feng Mian said softly, "Da Zhao is like a giant to us. It sucked away all the resources we depend on for survival. We have had a very difficult time these years. Otherwise, we would not have repeatedly provoked disputes. In fact, it is all for survival."

"It's just that they don't understand. The general has killed someone, and your emperor will punish the general." Feng Mian said seriously, "I won't kill you for my people. You are my benefactor. Without you, I can't be reunited with Ajia Ruo."

Xie Tan nodded, "It's a small matter."

Seeing that she hesitated to leave, he knew that she had something else to say, so he asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

"General, I want to make a deal with you." Feng Mian stared at Xie Tan as he said this.

"explain."

“General, if you really want to get this piece of land in the north, it may not be able to sustain long by just suppressing it with force. The tenacity given to us by this land is something you people from the Central Plains cannot understand.” Feng Mian said with a firm and confident tone.

Xie Tan narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on the foreign woman in front of him, "What do you want to say?"

Feng Mian took a deep breath, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "Ajia Ruo and I want to go to the Central Plains. As long as the general can take us to find Ajia Ruo's father, I am willing to fully assist the general to completely rule the northern border."

Her voice was calm and indifferent, yet it carried a convincing force. She took out the wine bag and handed it to Xie Tan: "People in the North only drink with friends. General, please."

He took the wine bag handed to him by Feng Mian and drank it all in one gulp.

The wine tasted soft, but had a strong aftertaste. After drinking it, Xie Tan's heart suddenly felt boiling with heat. A touch of color appeared on Xie Tan's cold face, making his eyes as bright as a demon. "It's a deal!"

In the 34th year of Dazhao, the General of Zhenjun, with his lightning-fast tactics, controlled the throat of the northern border with iron-like order. It only took him four years to go from being a discarded pawn to a chess player dominating the game.

These four years have been like a dream to Song Nihuan.

Finally woke up.
