Chapter 1971 The Others (2)
“Yes.”
They looked at each other and then nodded their heads.
This plan was plausible and they felt that it would be better than nothing. Asking them to beat so many soldiers from Shi Long Kingdom on their own would be too difficult.
The main reason they could win back then was because of Ye Shu Ken’s ploy to pull Lei Lu Yao to their side along with the death of General Huan. With these two factors, Shi Long Kingdom’s soldiers crumbled.
General Gao was not exactly a competent general, so the soldiers and commanders there were not willing to follow him.
The large army under Shi Long Kingdom was not very united, so their attacks were not very effective in the past few days.
But now that Adjutant Bo had come…
They knew that the battle would turn fierce once again.
The war is far from over. …
<Long distance away, Shi Long Kingdom’s Capital City, the areas outside the Capital City, General Ruan’s location>
General Ruan was defeated by Long Qian Xing thoroughly on the battle at the south. Following the death of Heavenly General Bao, General Ruan knew very well that his own position would definitely crumble.
Right now, his life and death was not known to anyone but a few trusted people around him.
They were the people who had followed him for a long time. He had just heard the news of Heavenly General Bao’s death arrived in Shi Long Kingdom’s Capital City along with the news of General Huan’s death that followed soon after. WIth only General Gao being the one in charge at the south, the Emperor would definitely worry so much.
As for General Ruan?
Most of them would definitely think that he had already passed away. The soldiers under him were already taken under another commander and now stayed under General Gao.
But considering that their relationship with General Gao was not very good and the discipline was also not very strict… they might end up fighting independently instead of following General Gao’s order. “Gen… Master, are we going to go inside?” General Ruan’s adjutant, one of the few who followed General Ruan for a long time, asked in a low voice.
It would not be easy for them to enter Shi Long Kingdom’s Capital City. After all, the defense had been increased lately after hearing about Heavenly General Bao’s death because many of these nobles were afraid of death.
Strangers were not allowed to enter the city at all. “No, just inquire the news about my daughter,” General Ruan said slowly.
He looked at the magnificent city in front of him and sighed.
Over the past few weeks, he had been making his recovery and his men brought him back to Shi Long Kingdom’s Capital City. To be honest, he really didn’t want to do this, but he didn’t really care about Shi Long Kingdom as a whole. After all, one of the few reasons why he wanted to become a general back then was because he wanted to protect his homeland. But after seeing the few people who were at the top and the officials… General Ruan didn’t really want to anymore. Right now, they were outside Shi Long Kingdom’s Capital City.
There were also many people here and what General Ruan wanted to do was to inquire about his daughter. He heard that his daughter returned with Crown Prince Zhi and the few others. In that case, she should be inside.
But he couldn’t enter, so he could only try his luck, asking outside. General Ruan’s adjutant and the few other loyal soldiers followed General Ruan as they quietly made their camp outside the capital city and then asked around the few people who came out from time to time. One of the guards looked at General Ruan’s adjutant with a strange expression. “Don’t you already know about Young Commander Ruan’s army?”
“Did something happen?” General Ruan’s adjutant had a bad feeling, but he still had to ask. General Ruan was waiting for the news of his daughter. “Young Commander Ruan died while protecting His Highness upon his return. His Majesty said that Commander Ruan and her army did a good thing and rewarded their family heavily.” Young Commander Ruan died?
General Ruan’s Adjutant felt that it was difficult for him to breathe when he heard this news. He knew very well that if he brought this news to General Ruan, that old general would be devastated.
He only had a daughter when he was relatively older in age and his daughter wanted to follow him to the battlefield to become a general too.
General Ruan’s family only consisted of the two of them. General Ruan’s Adjutant took a deep breath and then asked again, “Do you know… the details?”
“His Highness didn’t say anything, but I was one of the few people who are asked to clean up the scene.” The guard thought about the day and then shook his head. “They’re ambushed and many soldiers are dispatched to kill their ambushers. The scene was really bad and all the soldiers under Young Commander Ruan had died.”
All the soldiers died…
General Ruan’s Adjutant’s hands trembled when he heard this.
He couldn’t imagine how he should convey this news to General Ruan after his return. Because he was absolutely sure that if he dared to say this to General Ruan, the old general might not be able to accept it. “Does Your Highness got hurt in such fierce battle?” General Ruan’s Adjutant tried to be normal and asked another question. “No.” The guard shook his head. “In fact, that’s what some people are discussing… No, I better not say it. I still want to keep my life.”
“Can you please tell me?” General Ruan’s Adjutant took out some money from his pocket. They didn’t bring a lot of money during war, but he still has his own stash.
The guard’s eyes gleamed when he saw the coin and then nodded. He leaned closer and whispered, “Some people said that Crown Prince Zhi used Young Commander Ruan as the bait because these people who come are all coming because of Princess Luo.”
