Chapter 33

  "General Wu, can she save the marshal?" Yuan Lin's face was filled with incredulity. This woman, who looked soft and weak, didn't seem like someone with extraordinary abilities at all. Even if she had martial arts skills, they should only be limited to self-defense. He really couldn't understand why the general would ask her to do it.

  General Wu ignored him and continued to kneel on the ground, pleading, "Miss, now only you can save the commander. I hope you can...," his words paused slightly, as if he was also hesitant, but had to continue heavily: "The military doctor just said that if we don't get the poison out of the commander's body quickly, the commander may not make it through the night. Miss, since you have the commander's token, you must have a deep relationship with him. I believe you can't bear to see the commander...," his voice trailed off, filled with worry and fear.

  Ling Feng slowly walked to the bedside, saw Mu Rong Ling Yun's bloodless face with a terrifying purple hue, and quickly flashed heartache in his eyes. He slightly bent down, reached out his hand, and felt that his hand was icy cold, without any temperature at all.

  After a light touch, Ling Feng's hand quickly bounced back, and his eyes suddenly widened in horror, asking, "How can this be? How can his body be so cold?"

  Ling Feng's voice was trembling noticeably, and his hand hovering in mid-air couldn't help but shake. His body was as stiff as a corpse, he...

  General Wu was shocked, quickly got up, and in one step he reached the bedside. His hand unconsciously stretched out towards Murong Lingyun. When he felt his icy coldness that sent chills down his spine, his body stiffened, and he muttered, "It seems that the General's poison has spread to his heart... If we don't treat him soon, I'm afraid... The military doctor had already said that if the General's body turns into ice, it would be..."

  "Hurry, hurry and inform the military doctor!" General Wu hastily shouted, his eyes filled with an unhideable fear. He had followed Murong Lingyun to battlefields for many years and had long forgotten what it was like to be afraid. But now, he was...

  The military doctor, in order to treat the marshal, has not closed his eyes for four days and nights. Just now, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he let someone forcibly take him down to rest, saying that if there's any accident, they'll call him again. In fact, even if the military doctor is here now, he can't do much. All the methods he could use have already been used.

  Seeing his panic, Ling Feng became even more afraid and said with a slight tremble, "Now, is it only the king who can help him detoxify in Xiliang City?" Ling Feng still held on to her last shred of hope and asked tentatively, because she knew that asking for Xuan Yuan's help was not an easy task, and the possibility of success was also slim.

  General Wu nodded heavily, "Yes." His eyes unconsciously swept over Murong Lingyun, slightly sinking, "It's just that I begged him along with all the other generals just now, but he refused to agree, so I had to plead with you..."

  Ling Feng's body stiffened slightly, all the generals begged him together, but he didn't respond, what else could she do?

  "General Wu, have you gone mad? What's the point of asking her for help? Everyone knows that the Prince and the Murong family have always been at odds. It's no surprise that the Prince won't save the Marshal. Besides, Da Xiaoran must know by now that the Prince has arrived in Xiliang City, and tomorrow there will surely be a fierce battle. If the Prince saves the Marshal, he'll only put himself in danger...". Yuan Lin analyzed calmly, "The military doctor has already invited an expert to save the Marshal, hasn't he? As long as the Marshal can hold on for a few more hours, it'll be fine. And what's more, is one woman really more capable than all of us soldiers?"

  "Shut up!" General Wu shouted in anger, he also knew that the hope was slim, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he had to try, he couldn't just stand by and watch his commander die in front of him.

  "What he said is right, I'm just afraid there's not enough of it." Ling Feng's voice sounded particularly dull. When she heard Yuan Lin's words earlier, her heart had already fallen to the bottom of the valley. However, when she heard his last sentence, a glimmer of hope flashed through her mind once again.

  General Wu's eyes slightly lifted, with a hint of hesitation, looked at Ling Feng and said carefully, "The king seems to be particularly fond of the young lady." This was his biggest reason for asking her.

  "Something special?" Ling Feng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm. What could be special about her? The only special thing was probably that night three years ago.

  "After the girl was caught, I went to report to Wang Ye. Wang Ye seemed to think of you immediately, and even rushed to rescue you without hesitation. So I thought..." The words paused slightly, but the implication was also very clear.

  Ling Feng was taken aback for a moment, and his dark eyes flashed with confusion. He asked how Xuan Yuan Chen knew it was her and then went to rescue her without hesitation?

  Why did he want to do that?

  Seeing her hesitation, he continued, "The number of people who can make the king rush into the enemy camp without thinking is probably very small." In fact, he was also surprised at that time. The king had always been a cold and ruthless person, how could he possibly go to the enemy camp to rescue a woman, and this woman might even be the marshal's woman?

  Moreover, the king also had Chu Wei send her over. So what does the king think of this woman?

  Yuan Lin, who was standing on one side, seemed to have only caught some clues at this moment, but in his eyes, there were more doubts and incredulity.

  Ling Feng slightly furrowed her brow and said, honestly, Xuan Yuan Chen's actions today were also unexpected to her, she couldn't understand what he was thinking either.

  However, she believed that he would absolutely not be as General Wu said, especially for her, and was afraid that there might be another purpose.

  In short, Ling Feng now has a deep-seated aversion to Xuan Yuan Chen.

  So General Wu's idea seems a bit far-fetched to her, and she goes to ask Xuan Yuan Chen, but is afraid of embarrassing herself.

  While thinking, the military doctor rushed in hastily, flashed to the bedside, quickly grasped Mu Rong Lingyun's wrist, and a look of fear quickly flashed across his anxious face. He trembled with fear and said, "How could this be? How could the poison spread so fast?" Originally, there was still one night left, he had already sent a message to inform his master to come and help, believing that in more than two hours, he would arrive just in time to save General Mu. But now...

  "General, what's going on with the marshal?" General Wu hastily asked.

  The military doctor's eyes sank suddenly, and he said painfully, "If we don't hurry up and expel the poison, I'm afraid the commander won't last an hour."

  "Only an hour?" The people present exclaimed, with only one hour of time, what could be done? The person they were waiting for would absolutely not make it in just an hour.

  Ling Feng's body stiffened instantly. How could heaven be so cruel, how could it be so cruel to him? He was such a kind person, how could this happen?

  "Now, unless the prince is willing to lend a hand, I'm afraid...," the military doctor said with a heavy tone, uttering the words that everyone least wanted to hear.

  Ling Feng's stiff body trembled slightly. Now, only he could save Murong Lingyun... Only him?????

  Murong Lingyun's life was slowly slipping away, and she had no other choice.

  No longer hesitating, she quickly turned around and walked towards Xuan Yuan Chen's room.

  She had only walked to the front of the door when her footsteps paused slightly, as if she was hesitant. But at this moment, Chu Wei came out and said with a profound meaning, "Please come in, miss." There was no surprise at all, as if he had known that she would come all along.

  Ling Feng slightly stunned for a moment, then stepped forward, seeing Xuan Yuan Chen intently flipping through a book. All his attention seemed to be on that book. She came in, and he didn't react at all, as if he hadn't noticed her arrival.

  Ling Feng knew he was doing it on purpose, his already low spirits sank even further, but he still took a slight breath and walked towards him.
