”You can stay by my side. I'll guarantee your safety.”

Bartle finally opened his mouth and said this as he looked at Yun Zi Huang with sincere eyes.

She pursed her lips slightly. ”Do you think you can hold your ground against Qingxiao?”

He was silent, his gaze distant as he gazed into the distance. That War God King, who dared to say that he would stay behind?

After a long while, he asked, ”Do you like him?”

This time, Yun Zihuang did not reply. She only gave a slight smile and looked in the direction of the Black Bear Valley. In the dark of the night, Black Bear Gap was already very close to her, and he, was in Black Bear Gap.

Bartle did not pursue the matter further. Thinking that she had risked her life to come here for the sake of the War God King, an indescribable feeling surged through his heart. Jealousy, hate, envy...

Why wasn't she his woman?

After two days and two nights, he finally saw Black Bear Valley, but it was already the wee hours of the morning.

In the dark night, the two thousand men gradually disappeared into the darkness. The northern troop of soldiers halted their steps. They were still shouting for the enemy to kill them as they watched these people leave from their encirclement. Yun Zi Huang's heart finally relaxed a little when she saw Feng Jue bringing a small group of people, waiting for her.

A moment later, the signal flare rose into the night sky, causing Yun Zi Huang to smile: ”Ninth Prince, please escort me all the way here, please don't go too far.”

A glass bottle was thrown over. Battle reached out his hand to catch it. At that moment, he really wanted to make a sudden move and launch a sneak attack to catch her. However, Princess Taiping's gentle words had extinguished all his thoughts.

”I don't mind if you attack. Give me a chance to poison you.”

He coldly said, ”Yun Zihuang, don't let me meet you again, or else I'll catch you and bring you back to be my woman.”

She galloped toward Black Bear Gap. He held the glass bottle tightly in his hand and watched her leave quietly.

Yun Zhao led his men to protect Yun Zi Huang, while Yun Hai was the last to leave.

Battle forced a smile. How could he hide today's scene from his father?

However, he still had to find an excuse to make his father not kill him. Even if his father and everyone else knew that this was an excuse, as long as he was still useful, he could temporarily preserve his life. Punishments were inevitable, but right now, his father had no choice but to keep him. Use him!

The two thousand people did not depart into the distance. Instead, they stayed in the darkness, waiting to receive the princess at any time. When Feng Ren saw that Yun Zihuang had returned safe and sound, he heaved a sigh of relief. If something were to happen to the princess, then his head would not be worth it.

Her heart was violently beating. At this moment, she suddenly had some hesitation.

She was about to see him, but she hesitated, not wanting him to know that she had risked her life to come here for him.

In the faint light of dawn, Yun Zihuang's footsteps halted as she looked outside the tent. Her figure that stood tall like a pine tree, was him!

Then, she quickened her pace and walked over, her gaze never leaving his cold, hard face, his slightly sullen black eyes.

”General Yun Zi Huang greets the Lord.”

She dropped to one knee and bent her head.

”Where is the military order?”

She raised the military order above her head. Feng Qingxiao reached out with both hands to take it. He opened it and took a look, then coldly said, ”How reckless and reckless. Do you know what punishment you should take?”

”This lowly general knows his wrongs and humbly requests that the Lord grant this favor to this lowly general to make amends for his crimes.”

Yun Hai and the rest all respectfully kneeled a few steps behind Yun Zi Huang. They did not even dare to breathe as they deeply knelt on the ground.
