Up until...he was ordered to escort Jia Lai Ying Huo did he discover from the mouth of this man, who harbored no good intentions, that the poison of the savanna's goddess was not to be passed on to outsiders. Throughout many generations, they were for her to know only, not even the tribes' members were informed of it.

The incident of thirty Light Cavalry that caused significant loss to the Black Iron Camp twenty years ago had absolutely no relation to the Man people.

Home and country, hatred and resentment — on this road separated in two, regardless of which path he chose, he could never look back again.

Many hidden details inside were impossible to say aloud to outsiders. In the end, Gu Yun did not respond, forcibly pulling Chang Geng's hand away, tying his hair, and donning his armor.

The general had a heart, but unfortunately, it was cast from iron.

Gu Yun's reaction couldn't be said to be slow. Hundreds of the manor's troops could not be said to be ineffective, and yet it was still too late.

Chang Geng chased after him, following him outside: "Yifu, wait!"

Gu Yun had mounted his horse, looking down at him from above. The horse was as restless as its owner. Even when the reins were already pulled, it continued to pace back and forth in the same place.

The blood on Chang Geng's face seemed to have all been stuck onto his palm and his sleeve, and he resembled a Bai Miao* portrait of a human drawn on paper.

*a style of artwork drawn using only linearts with no coloring.

He appeared almost indifferent, the incredibly pained expression just now seemed to have been hidden under a mask: "In case Uncle Huo cannot suppress General Tan, yifu charging into the capital right now will be equal to leading yourself into the flame."

Gu Yun lifted his long eyebrows; he was about to speak when Chang Geng interrupted him.

"I know, even if you will be in the fire, you can't afford not to go to the capital for the Imperial Guards would not be able to stop the Northern Camp. As of the present, except for yifu, no one can control General Tan. Once the capital is shaken by this chaotic change, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Chang Geng took a deep breath, then reached out a blood-covered hand to him. "In case the Emperor imprisons you, the generals on all sides will inevitably be plunged into confusion, and disaster will break out. I need yifu to leave me some kind of token that can temporarily calm people's hearts."
