So what? None of them understood or dared to ask what the general was thinking.
They could only wait for the general to return and see how he would punish her. After all, they did not even know where she was.
“Why do you think the general keeps a woman like that around him?” the angry soldier asked.
The other soldier sighed heavily again.
It would be great if he knew. He could find a way to have the general throw Xue Ling out. But the main point here was that he did not know why either!
“Don’t say anything. We’ll talk about it when the general returns. If Deputy General Yuan hears us talking about this, we’ll probably suffer again—”
Before he could finish, another soldier hurried over.
“Report!”
A deep voice, accompanied by a hint of annoyance, sounded from within a tent.
“What’s going on?”
Xue Ling had managed to escape because he was careless in guarding her. It was an utter humiliation to him.
The general had instructed him to keep an eye on her before he left. But Xue Ling had escaped, leaving only an ignorant little maid behind. She had been crying for a long time and could not even speak properly.
How was he going to explain this to the general?
“Deputy General Yuan, General and Deputy General Yan have returned,” the soldier at the tent replied.
“What?!” Deputy General Yuan was shocked.
He lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent, staring at the soldier sharply.
Didn’t I discuss this with the other deputy generals? I also mentioned in the letter to the general to tell him not to return for the time being. Why is he…
“Where is the general?” he asked.
“The general has gone to the other deputy generals. He hasn’t been here,” the soldier said.
He sounded rather sorry for the deputy general.
Deputy General Yuan has been stuck in this place and can’t even handle military affairs. Yet, the general did not come to see him immediately upon returning. I feel so sorry for Deputy General Yuan!
“Deputy General Yuan, should I invite him over?”
Deputy General Yuan’s anger erupted when he heard the suggestion, and he roared, “Don’t you dare!”
Soldiers here are infected with the disease and carried out to the other quarantine area every day. How can this brat think of inviting the general here?
“You brat! Are you crazy? Why would you ask the general to come here? Do you want to die?” he cursed.
“Uh…” The soldier was rendered speechless by Deputy General Yuan’s words.
They had already been quarantined here and could not leave. Entering was not easy either.
“That was wrong of me. Deputy General Yuan, what should we do now?”
Deputy General Yuan pondered for a moment and replied, “Let’s wait. The general will send word.”
Everyone in the military camp probably knew Xue Ling had escaped. The general must have known too. He would definitely make arrangements, right?
…
Meanwhile, the deputy generals saw Xue Ling, who had been brought back by Qian Jiyun, and surrounded her. They did not even think of greeting their general.
