C193 (1/2)

Within the dark valley, no one knew what day it was outside, no one knew what time it was, Xiaowan only felt that a long time had passed.

The soldiers tried their best, but they were still unable to shake the huge rock. They couldn't even protect the only hole they had made just now. They didn't know what was inside the hole and whether they could arrange the explosives or not.

Xiaowan was at the side bandaging the wounds of the injured soldiers. Ling Chaofeng turned around unintentionally and saw her attentive and considerate appearance.

In such an environment, she was neither flustered nor afraid. Furthermore, she had the courage to venture deep into dangerous situations to find him. It was truly extraordinary.

”Manager Ling, let's explode.” Wei Tengfei's subordinates came to discuss with him.

”It would be great if you could blow up a small crack, but if you were to blow up the entire rock, it might cause another collapse.” Ling Chaofeng said seriously, ”Bring the others out first.”

Only to hear the thick voices of the men shouting, ”We want to die together with the general.”

On the other hand, Xiaowan was shocked, and stopped the excited soldier beside her.

”Brothers, you are all my most beloved subordinates, I am willing to die with you, but he does not wish for you to die together for him.” Ling Chaofeng said calmly, ”Please move outside, so that the giant rocks can be exploded as soon as possible to save the general.”

There was complete silence, as if no one was willing to leave, as if they felt that if any of them left, they would become the general's traitors.

”Big brother, slow down. I'll support you.” Xiaowan stood up and broke the silence. She supported the soldier by her side and then said to Ling Chaofeng, ”Husband, Big Bro and I will be waiting for you outside.”

Ling Chaofeng's heart warmed, and he immediately became a hundred times more confident. He said to everyone in a clear voice, ”The safety of my wife is in everyone's hands.”

The injured gradually moved outside, although there were some huge rocks blocking the way, Ling Chaofeng had thought about it, since he was going to risk the mountain collapsing again, he decided to blow the General Wei out first. After everyone gathered, the rest of the things would be easy to handle.

Xiaowan and Hubby looked at each other, giving each other confidence before they left without turning back.

When they were near the outside world, they could finally see the sky. Above their heads was a narrow stretch of sky, and it was already dusk.

Outside the valley, Little Pei was flying back and forth. He would come in to take a look at his mother from time to time, and he was very surprised to see that she was not by his father's side, but accompanying the injured.

She still remembered when her mother had followed her father in life and death, yet when she was revived, she was able to calmly make a choice in the face of life and death. Was it because her feelings weren't deep enough?

Of course not.

At this moment, deep within the mountain valley, Hanxi was leaning against the cold wind blowing in from the cave above, maintaining a breath of air. But the colder it got, the more Hanxi couldn't help but shiver.

”Put your clothes on.” Wei Tengfei said, ”Otherwise, if I don't save you, you will die from the cold.”

”I, I'm not cold …” ”My name is Hanxi, and I've never been afraid of cold since I was young.”

”Born in winter?”

”Yes.”

However, Wei Tengfei was very tired, he could not say more than a few words, and wanted to close his eyes. Being trapped like this was even more difficult than he thought. Even though Hanxi would occasionally feed him saliva, his body had already started to become severely dehydrated.

His eyes blurred and he saw a shadow swaying. Wei Tengfei suddenly opened his eyes and said angrily: ”Don't slap me again, are you trying to take revenge?”

Hanxi raised her hand right at the moment. She had wanted to keep Wei Tengfei awake, but after being stunned for a moment, she lightly patted his face with her hands: ”General Wei, don't sleep, please don't sleep, you might not wake up after sleeping. Wait a little longer, Manager Ling will definitely come to save us.”

A soft hand kneaded her own face. What a strange feeling. Even though she had been playing with her little sister before, there would still be this kind of thing. However, that was her little sister, and the one in front of her was a woman.

”I'll talk to you, why don't you scold me a bit?” Hanxi said, ”General Wei, you must not sleep.”

”Your hands are as cold as ice.” Wei Tengfei said, ”Don't wait for me to die, you will freeze to death first. Listen to me, quickly wear your clothes.”

Hanxi shook his head: ”I won't wear it. When you come out and scold me, you must scold me.”

Wei Tengfei frowned, and laughed helplessly: ”Young lady, why are you so stubborn, you are even with Siyan now.”

Hanxi knew that the Middle Palace Mistress was named Wei Siyan and smiled, ”Is the Empress also very stubborn?”

”How stubborn. I didn't expect that she would ask me to beat her up after she became the empress.” Wei Tengfei said, ”But that was also the first time I hit her, thinking about it now, it's truly regretful.”

”General Wei is so brave.” Hanxi said, ”Aren't you afraid that the emperor will be anxious with you? The emperor loves his mistress so much.”

Wei Tengfei laughed: ”At that time, he must have been so angry that he wanted to attack, but men cannot hit women, furthermore, he is the Son of Heaven. But knowing that the Emperor dotes on her, I can finally relax. ”

Hanxi listened to his tone and saw his expression. Since she could die at any moment now, she asked without hesitation, ”You don't want your sister to become the Empress? ”Then why, why did they send her to the talent show? My grandmother and mother were also reluctant to part with it, so they didn't let me go.”

Wei Tengfei said, ”My only sister, she married to such a far away place and now that I know the Emperor is good to her, what can I know at that time? ”But for …”

He looked at Hanxi, and did not know if he should say these things, but when he thought that he could die at any time, and that he would be willing to accompany him even if he died, what more did he have to worry about?

He spoke straightforwardly: ”For the sake of the Chuanyu army, I sent her to the selection. Being chosen as the empress was unexpected, but it was indeed the result I had hoped for at the beginning, and was also the result I regretted. It's a good thing that the Emperor didn't have a harem. Otherwise, if I pushed her into a harem full of women and fought endlessly from then on, I would have killed my sister with my own hands. ”
