My vicious dog, my horse, I can do whatever I want with it

Chapter 249 It really hurts me!

Long Feiguang didn't know whether he should be heartbroken that his third brother had learned to hide things from him, or horrified that he had not discovered Zong Yanli's identity at all.

Pei Liang's face was even more distorted, his heart was churning. Looking back on the past, he realized that Zong Yanli had already been exposed. Whether it was from her face or from her habits of avoiding others to bathe, never taking off clothes in public, not allowing anyone to enter the tent, etc., he could find some details.

He should have thought of it...

Should have thought of it earlier!!!

Pei Liang felt that he was very stupid. No wonder Gongsun Pu always had such a mysterious attitude. Did he think that he was looking at them as a group of fools?

The more Pei Liang thought about it, the more he felt overwhelmed. With all the emotions in his heart, he did not look down on Zong Yanli at all just because she was a woman. Instead, he blamed himself for being so stupid that he discovered the truth so much later than Gongsun Pu. It really made him mad.

Zong Yanli ignored the collapse of Pei Liang and Long Feiguang, and turned to ask about his own injuries and how the battle with Qi State went.

"Xue Liqing's head has been hung on the commander's flag. Min Wenshan has deployed a heavy shield formation, and our army has failed to break through." Long Feiguang quickly cheered up and replied: "We have now pushed the Qi army back twenty miles away and have reached the outskirts of Jifeng City in Kangzhou County."

"So..." Zong Yanli nodded slightly, leaned on the edge of the bed and moved slightly, causing the wound in her abdomen to hurt and her face changed slightly.

"General, don't move. Xue Liqing's blow was too heavy." Long Feiguang and Pei Liang hurried forward to support her. When Zong Yanli was carried back, many military doctors surrounded her for a long time and did not dare to pull out the spears from her waist.

Finally, Feng Pei took it upon herself to let Wen Nian use Zong Yanli's long sword to cut open her armor...

It was precisely because of this that Long Feiguang and Pei Liang had to know the fact that Zong Yanli was a woman. The situation at the time was really dangerous. If they were kept in the dark, the silver spear stuck in Zong Yanli's waist would be difficult to pull out.

To be honest, there was no anger of being deceived in the eyes of Long Feiguang and Pei Liang. They were just filled with helplessness. They had seen with their own eyes the horrifying appearance of Zong Yanli lying on the bed covered in blood.

They only remembered that when the silver spear was taken out, the blood stains almost dyed the bed red, and the cut on the abdomen was sewed back together stitch by stitch by Feng Pei. In that scene, no one would have thought about the fact that Zong Yanli was a woman.

As long as their general lives!

He was in a coma for five whole days, during which time he had recurring high fever due to his wounds. Sang Caijie ran his horse to the city to get medicine. Everyone in the army had the same idea.

"Yeah." Zong Yanli naturally knew that she was seriously injured. At this moment, she felt weak all over and her head was a little dizzy, but she did not show it.

"General Long will take charge of the military affairs for the time being." Zong Yanli looked up at Long Feiguang, then at Pei Liang and said, "While I am recovering from my injury, Qi State should not dare to take risks. General Pei can also discuss with the gentlemen how to deploy the next battle."

"And Miss Xue'er..." Zong Yanli frowned and asked, "Is she still alive?"

Pei Liang nodded, and said with a strange look: "It's just that Miss Xue'er didn't want to use medicine to treat her injuries, and she even scratched her face with a knife..."

He destroyed his own appearance just to have a chance of survival.

Zong Yanli was silent for a while after listening to this. He pondered for a while before saying, "If she wants to leave, let Sai Ya take her away."

Pei Liang raised his eyes and looked at Zong Yanli: "General, do you want to keep her?"

"Excuse me for being frank, but that woman is from Qi after all, and she is also the daughter of Min Wenshan. If we keep her, there may be hidden dangers." Pei Liang said seriously with his eyes lowered.

"I have the same thought." Zong Yanli nodded calmly and said, "But... since she can destroy her own appearance to survive, I want to give her a chance."

"It's not bad to have Sai Ya by my side and be imprisoned among the Wuhuan." Zong Yanli thought that when the Qi State was destroyed, Min Xueer would be completely free.

Seeing that Zong Yanli had made a decision, Pei Liang said nothing more and bowed his head in agreement.

Zong Yanli, who had just woken up, briefly understood the situation, ate a meal and drank some medicine before falling asleep again.

When Long Feiguang, Pei Liang and others came out of the tent, they were surrounded by Meng Qi, Bai Xiuyun and others, who asked about Zong Yanli's situation. Everyone's face was filled with worry and uneasiness. If Wen Nian hadn't stopped them, they would not have been able to force their way in and would have broken in long ago.

"The general has woken up safely." Pei Liang looked at everyone soothingly and said, "It's just that his injuries are too severe at the moment, so it's inconvenient for him to see you."

"It's good that you're awake, awake..." Kuang Xingquan and others breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you blocking us? You won't even let us take a look!" Meng Qi got angry whenever he thought about it and glared at Long Feiguang, Pei Liang and the others. It would have been fine if Wen Nian was blocking us before, but now even Long Feiguang and Pei Liang were blocking them.

"The general cannot rest because of the noise. Let's all go away." Pei Liang looked at Meng Qi, Bai Xiuyun and others shouting and suddenly understood Gongsun Pu.

He looked at everyone with a gloomy look and said, "When the general wants to see someone, he will summon him. Now, the general should rest and recuperate and recover soon."

Pei Liang's words immediately stopped Monk Qi and the others from making a fuss. They stared at Zong Yanli's tent, sighed a few times, then turned around and asked Long Feiguang about Zong Yanli's injuries.

Long Feiguang asked everyone to talk away from the main tent. Although Zong Yanli was seriously injured and bedridden, everything in the army was in order. The army was not leaderless because of Zong Yanli's fall. If anyone felt uneasy, they only had to look up at the head hanging on the commander's flag.

Then they felt their blood fill up in an instant, and they firmly believed in Zong Yanli.

While the Daqian army was maintaining stability, the Qi army was in turmoil because of the death of Xue Liqing.

Zong Yanli's speculation that the Qi army would take advantage of her serious injury to launch a surprise attack was completely unnecessary.

Because the Qi army is currently in a state of low morale, Min Wenshan relied on his adopted son Xue Liqing to gain a foothold in the army, and his prestige was all due to the trust of the remaining generals in Xue Liqing. But now Min Wenshan has lost his powerful general Xue Liqing.

The main generals in the camp were more or less ready to make moves, and as the conflict between Lang Weiye and Quan Liangpeng became more and more serious, it seemed that they were divided into two camps even though they were clearly the army of one country.

Min Wenshan had been suffering from splitting headaches these days because he was unable to balance the anger of his generals. He was now resting in his military tent. Yingli stood behind Min Wenshan, reaching out her hand and gently pressing his temple.

"General!" A shout came from outside the tent. Min Wenshan felt uneasy when he heard the shout. He sat up straight and asked, "What happened?"

"General Lang was injured by General Quan..."

"..."

Min Wenshan was so furious when he heard this that he stood up in a rage. Just as he was about to leave the tent, he heard the two people shouting and cursing.

Quan Liangpeng was about to take action again while speaking, but he held back when he looked up and saw Min Wenshan. The two men knelt in front of Min Wenshan with bruised faces and noses. Min Wenshan looked at them and simply couldn't understand why two of his capable generals had ended up in such a mess?

Min Wenshan naturally gave them some advice, but what he said was all polite talk, and the root of the actual problem was not solved. In the end, the two of them left with resentment in their hearts.

"Sir, have a cup of tea." Yingli came closer with a cup of hot tea. The elegant fragrance of the tea made Min Wenshan feel a little relieved.

He looked up at Yingli in front of him, his expression softened, and he said, "I still remember that you used to like making tea the most, and it tasted like this."

Yingli lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, saying, "I won't do anything. I just want you to relax a little and not be bothered by trivial matters in the army."

Min Wenshan smiled bitterly and shook his head, then sighed and said, "Li Qing's death is really heartbreaking for me!"

He never expected that Xue Liqing would be defeated so quickly, but in the blink of an eye he was killed by Zong Yanli. Min Wenshan was filled with regret. If he had not introduced Xue Liqing to Min Xueer, and had not secretly asked someone to imitate Min Xueer's notes to exchange letters with her to express their love.

Wouldn’t this have prevented Xue Liqing’s death today?

He also regretted that he should have ordered people to shoot Min Xueer the moment he saw her being captured!

Min Wenshan felt more and more regretful and doubted his own marching strategy. But at this moment, he heard Yingli say softly, "Your Excellency is right. It was Zong Yanli who was too cunning and managed to secretly kidnap Miss Xue'er without your permission."

"Setting up this trap is really a mean act." Yingli knew very well what Min Wenshan wanted to hear at this moment, so she said it obediently.

"Zong Yanli." Min Wenshan gritted his teeth as he pronounced Zong Yanli's name.

"But General Xue also severely injured Zong Yanli. I think the Daqian army has no intention of fighting with our army at this time." Yingli changed the subject and said in a gloomy voice: "It is our army... The situation is so tense. General Lang and General Quan are going to continue to make trouble like this."

"There is no need for the enemy to attack. Our army is already in internal strife..."

When Min Wenshan heard Yingli's words, his heart skipped a beat and he instantly realized the seriousness of the matter.

Yingli didn't say anything else, as if she had just mentioned it calmly and had no ulterior motives.

Min Wenshan listened to it, frowned and thought for a long time, finally looked up at Yingli and said: "You have followed me for many years, and you are more or less familiar with the soldiers in the army. In your opinion, how should we deal with this situation?"

Upon hearing this, Yingli glanced at Min Wenshan, frowned in embarrassment, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"There are no outsiders here, so it doesn't matter if you and I have some private conversations." Min Wenshan said this with a smile as he looked at Yingli.

"Sir, it's not that I don't want to say it, but I'm afraid that you will think that I am deliberately trying to sow discord between you and your subordinates." Yingli lowered her head and said obediently, "I dare not say anything nonsense."

"It's okay." Min Wenshan waved his hands, obviously there was no solution.

Yingli hesitated for a moment before straightening her expression and speaking, "Your Excellency is now confused by the situation. General Nalang is indeed smart and capable, but he has shown himself to be eager for credit in many battles this time. I'm sure you have noticed it a long time ago."

Yingli looked at Min Wenshan lightly and said, "If it was in the past, it wouldn't matter, but now..."

"Your Excellency is heartbroken to lose your adopted son." Yingli's eyes showed worry, and she looked at Min Wenshan cautiously and said, "If Your Excellency still supports the ambitious and meritorious General Lang, you may end up raising a tiger that will cause trouble."

"General Quan has been following you for many years. He should have been your right-hand man, but now he is being suppressed by General Lang..."

"If you continue to ignore his distress, I'm afraid all the generals will abandon you, and by then it will be too late."

After Yingli finished speaking, the expression on Min Wenshan's face became gloomier. He had thought of many things but this was the only thing he hadn't thought of!

But at this moment, Min Wenshan was still scolding: "Nonsense! Although General Lang seems to be vying for credit, he is also loyal to me."

Yingli lowered her head in fear and said, "I am a woman, I can only speculate like this, I have no ill intentions, I am just thinking about you, my lord."

Min Wenshan glanced at Yingli, frowned, stood up and said, "You stay in the military tent by yourself! The general will make the decision on this matter." After saying this, Min Wenshan walked out of the tent.

Yingli bowed to see her off, and did not raise her head again until the tent was completely quiet. At this point, the expression on her face was completely restrained, and her eyes were sharp. She walked to the table and sat down, lowering her eyes to look at the unfinished chessboard on the table and slowly curled her lips.

"It's time to close the net." She raised her hand and picked up a piece, her face full of confidence that she had the overall situation in hand, and she placed the piece so decisively and firmly.

"Qi State."

There was a smile on her lips and determination in her eyes.

Zong Yanli was lying on the bed unable to move, and Wen Nian stayed by his side all the time. Even a stubborn person like Long Feiguang could sense something was wrong, and every time he entered the tent, his eyes were always wandering between Wen Nian and Zong Yanli.

Zong Yanli turned a blind eye, flipping through the military register in his hand, asking questions from time to time, forcibly drawing the attention of Long Feiguang and Pei Liang.

"There is one more thing." Long Feiguang said with a serious face: "Today, a hidden arrow shot into the gatepost of the rear camp of the army, and there was a note on it."

"Give it to me." Zong Yanli raised his eyebrows slightly, took the roll of letter paper from Long Feiguang, and looked at the crude hidden arrow again. For a moment, he could not tell where the arrow came from.

However, the content of the letter made Zong Yanli very excited. The secret letter actually contained news about civil strife in the Qi army.

Zong Yanli read the contents of the letter again and again, pondered for a while, looked up at Long Feiguang and Pei Liang and said, "What do you two generals think of this secret letter?"

Pei Liang said conservatively: "Seven parts true, three parts false."

Zong Yanli raised his eyebrows to signal him to continue. Pei Liang bowed slightly before saying, "Xue Liqing is Min Wenshan's adopted son, so he should be his powerful general. If Xue Liqing dies in battle at this time, it is not impossible that there will be civil strife in the Qi army camp because of this."

"But..." Pei Liang frowned and said, "I really can't think of who in Qi would pass on such a secret letter? Could it be a trick by the enemy to confuse the enemy?"
