135 Arrival Of the Bai Family (2/2)
”What?”
After a brief period of silence, An Sun's deep and hoarse voice ordered: ”Lan...Bury Lan.”
It did not take much for Manchu to know whom he was referring to. Manchu's brows drew together, and his lips formed a thin line.
”You still have the energy to release orders?” He muttered with a helpless tone.
Manchu sighed heavily and looked over his shoulder to shout to a few soldiers.
”Head to the bottom of the cliff and retrieve Bai Lan's body! Wrap him up and bury him respectfully. The rest of you dispose of the enemy's bodies and bury the fallen.”
”Yes, general!”
Manchu shifted his gaze away and lowered his head. He drew in a deep breath and raised his head, his still eyes looking toward the mountain cliff. He retracted his gaze and twisted his lips in a crooked smile.
”That little strategist... really was a helpless fool.”
…
The wound on An Sun's shoulder was rebandaged. Soldiers that were lost after the ambush was buried. As for the enemies, they were carelessly thrown off the cliff.
Inside the camps main tent, An Sun sat on a table and stared at his hand expressionlessly. The dim yellow candlelight shone on the side of his face, making his stern and cold face seem even paler. Despite his ill appearance, his icy aura and cold demeanor gave a hint of dangerous beauty.

Manchu entered and saw the man slouched in his seat, a jug of red wine beside him.
Manchu frowned. ”Idiot, are you seriously drinking right now? Do you have any regard for your injury?”
An Sun leisurely held the cup of wine in his hand but did not take a sip.
”I failed him.” An Sun's deep, hoarse voice said absently.
”What?”
Manchu looked at the pale man sitting casually in his seat, his head faced down toward the table.
”I promised I would protect him. I said I had the strength and power.”
An Sun laughed coldly and raised his head. His face was ashen. His healthy pink lips were now white, two locks of hair framing his handsome, chiseled face.
”I couldn't protect him because I wasn't strong enough.” An Sun's slightly hoarse voice was tinged with grief.
”I'm the miserable scum who forced him to fight alongside me. He threw his life away for me so easily, all because I placed my trust in him.”
Manchu stared at the man helplessly. ”Hey, Sun…”
”Commander An, General Manchu!”
A soldier rushed inside the tent, a look of panic and urgency spread across his face.
”Outside, there's an army coming our way!”
Manchu rose a brow. ”An army? Who?”
The soldier paled and appeared nervous. He anxiously glanced at his commander who's brows furrowed deeper. The look in An Sun's eyes darkened.
”Who is it?”
The soldier nervously swallowed. An Sun's pair of cold eyes stared at him with a gaze that made him feel extremely uncomfortable and unsettled.
”It's…It's the Bai Army.”
