Chapter 1941 The Development (2)

"You have the entire map of this area?" Lei Lu Yao asked when he found that they could turn around from the battlefield so easily without being noticed.

"The one who have the map is Pan Family. I paid a lot to be able to see this." Ye Shu Ken rolled his eyes. He wanted to curse that Pan Lei Yin was a profiteer, but in the end shut his mouth and paid honestly.

Even if they all cooperated together in this war, it could not change the fact that they were all from different families and have different thoughts. They still have to pay to use other family's things.

"I'll help to pay you back," Lei Lu Yao promised. He narrowed his eyes and felt that this Ye Shu Ken was truly an old fox.

It was no wonder that he was able to coax him and pull him to join this damn thief ship.

But since he had joined, Lei Lu Yao would do his best to do what he supposed to do and made sure that things developed well.

"Good." Ye Shu Ken smiled.

Time is still long, he will slowly invest in various matters and waited until it was time to reap the results. For now, he just has to be patient and made sure that he planted the seed properly.

Turning his head to the front. "Pan Lei Yin told me that your village is right beside the dried lake. There are still some soldiers here, so we have to deal with them first…."

"Got it."

The cooperation has now been reached.

…

Bang!

General Ruan could barely survive after being attacked by Long Qian Xing. His soldiers didn't want to see their general in danger and swiftly pull him away from the main battlefield.

This allowed them to survive.

At the same time, the soldiers also reported the development of the matter in front of them, including the fact that Great General Bao was killed by Long Qian Xing and their soldiers' retreat.

The report is very unsightly.

It was estimated that when the Emperor knew about this matter, he would be in rage because of Great General Bao's incompetence.

"General Ruan, would you be blamed about this?" General Ruan's Adjutant was a bit worried when he received the news.

They all knew that General Ruan went with Great General Bao. Now that Great General Bao had died, would the blame be put on General Ruan's head?

In that situation, returning will only make things worse.

General Ruan was silent. He had been recuperating and it was General Ruan's Adjutant who had been working hard to make sure that the army could return in orderly manner. Without this adjutant, it was estimated that he would also suffer the same treatment as Great General Bao when the soldiers were completely scattered.

"Do you have any good idea about what to do?" Instead of answering, General Ruan asked another question.

Good idea about what to do?

General Ruan's Adjutant was at loss. He did give some suggestions on the battle from time to time, but he was not as good as General Ruan. His capabilities were limited and what he could do was also limited. He looked at General Ruan with hesitation. "Not returning at all and spread the news of your death?"

Death?

General Ruan sighed deeply.

He had been serving Shi Long Kingdom for a long time and naturally knew very well that even if he was not executed upon return, it was estimated that his result wouldn't be good either.

They couldn't tolerate any loss.

Great General Bao and his loss' were extremely big. It would be impossible for them not to pay attention in the slightest bit.

And they needed someone to blame.

With Great General Bao had already passed away, the best person to be blamed turned into General Ruan.

"It might be a good idea, but I need to tell my daughter about my real situation." General Ruan thought about it and feel that faking death is fine. With this situation, he couldn't see any hope for him to continue stay in the military either way.

Even if he wanted to be upright and honest, he didn't want to die and be wronged because of Great General Bao's death and the situation on the south border.

The one with the highest rank here was him and General Huan.

But it was more likely for them to put the blame on him because he used to be the one with the highest possibility to become the next great general.

It would be tiring.

Shi Long Kingdom will experience turmoil and General Ruan didn't want to be part of it. While he would miss this position and all of his comrades, but he also wanted to protect himself and his family.

If he were to be blamed, would his daughter be implicated?

It would be better for him to appear dead so that his daughter could still have a chance to live and strive for better future.

"I understand." General Ruan's Adjutant knew that General Ruan cared greatly for his daughter. Even if he was in this situation, the one that General Ruan thought first was his daughter and no one else.

It was clear that General Ruan cared greatly for his daughter and didn't want her to be wronged in the slightest bit.

He sighed deeply.

Staying in the army, would it be possible for General Ruan's daughter to truly live a good life?

But he said nothing.

It was General Ruan's personal matters.

"Is there anything else?" General Ruan asked.

"We're currently heading to Shi Long Kingdom's south border. Because of your injury, the speed will be relatively slow," General Ruan's Adjutant replied. He furrowed his eyebrows. "In addition, we now need to hide your identity, so it might take a bit longer."

"It's fine." General Ruan waved his hand. He still felt a bit weak.
