Chapter 102: Chapter 45: Finally Met My Own People!

Shen Ruoxi tightly gripped the treasure sword, the piercing cold light shimmering on the blade exuding an intimidating chill.

In just a moment, over a dozen people swiftly appeared before her.

“Marshal!” Several people urgently shouted and were about to rush towards Jun Moling without regard for anything.

However, the Dragon Roar Sword in Shen Ruoxi’s hand suddenly swung horizontally, forcibly blocking their path!

The morning light spilled over her slightly disheveled hair without diminishing her unparalleled beauty in the slightest.

Everyone looked at the woman in front of them, wondering to themselves, who exactly is she? Why did she suddenly appear here?

Was it she who saved the marshal?

The leader, a graceful man in his forties, with a face full of urgency, said, “Miss, was it you who saved him?”

“Indeed!” Shen Ruoxi replied crisply, her voice clear and determined.

“What is his condition?” The graceful man was nervous, his gaze locked on the wounded on the ground, sweat barely visible on his forehead, showing his inner anxiety and unease.

“No threat to his life.” Shen Ruoxi’s voice was cold and calm, yet it seemed to carry a reassuring strength.

Upon hearing this, the man seemed to let go of a heavy burden in his heart and took a long breath, even though he was extremely anxious at the moment, he still tried to maintain a gentle attitude as he said, “Miss, please put down the treasure sword, let’s not hurt the peace, he is one of us, we must take him away!”

Shen Ruoxi’s eyes turned slightly cold, pointing the sword tip at the newcomer, full of vigilance between her brows, she sternly said, “Who are you? Wanting to take him away? Shouldn’t you ask if my sword agrees first?”

“We are troops of Dayi Country, I am Zhai Wen, miss, regardless of which country you belong to, since you saved our marshal, I will never make things difficult for you!” Zhai Wen’s voice was steady and powerful, attempting to dispel Shen Ruoxi’s guard.

Zhai Wen, this name was somewhat known to Shen Ruoxi, he was the teacher of Prince Zhan, Jun Moling, famous for his wisdom and strategies, being the right-hand man of Prince Zhan.

But at this moment, she dared not be careless, the battlefield situation was complex and volatile, should these people be Beichang’s enemy soldiers in disguise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“How can you prove you are troops of Dayi Country?” Shen Ruoxi’s gaze was openly vigilant, the treasure sword in her hand still steadily held in front, showing no intention of retreat.

Zhai Wen frowned, his expression slightly troubled.

The soldier beside him couldn’t hold back, stamping his feet anxiously, “Military Advisor Zhai, no need to talk nonsense with her, just snatch the marshal back directly.”

“Presumptuous!” Zhai Wen’s gaze was full of authority as he coldly reprimanded the soldier, who then fell silent, daring not to say more.

Zhai Wen thought to himself, since this woman not only saved the marshal but also protected him like this, she should not be treated rudely.

He steadied himself and said to Shen Ruoxi, “Miss, you can see we are wearing the military uniforms of Dayi Country, the badges on our bodies are also clear to identify.

Moreover, our concern for the marshal is something not easily feigned.”

Shen Ruoxi remained unmoved, her gaze piercing, scrutinizing the people before her.

Zhai Wen seemed to recall something, suddenly patting his thigh, saying, “I have a waist token to prove my identity.”

Saying that, he swiftly took out a waist token from his chest and handed it to Shen Ruoxi.

Shen Ruoxi’s expression was solemn as she carefully examined the waist token. After confirming it was correct, she finally relaxed and said, “I was rude earlier, but please understand my caution, I am Shen Ruoxi, my father is Shen Yushan.”

“You… are the daughter of Loyalty Marquis?” Zhai Wen’s expression was full of surprise, his gaze revealing disbelief.

“Yes, I went to the military camp yesterday; why did you not let me in?” Shen Ruoxi frowned slightly, asking inquiringly.

Zhai Wen felt a pang, this matter was really a long story.

The marshal was indeed too willful, and the intertwined grievances in this involved Shen Ruoxi closely!

In those years, the entire Shen Family Army was annihilated, the culprit was Beichang Country’s Third Prince Chunyu Che.

This matter was like a thorn deeply embedded in the marshal’s heart, causing him immense pain.

He was always thinking about avenging the Shen Family Army someday!

Just yesterday, their army received news that Chunyu Che was escorting provisions to reinforce Bin City.

The usually calm and steady marshal lost his usual composure and calmness upon hearing this, insisting on personally intercepting and killing Chunyu Che.

Eventually, the provisions were destroyed, and Chunyu Che was personally killed by the marshal.

However, what was puzzling was, for some unknown reason, the marshal suddenly returned to the enemy camp, resulting in his severe injuries and unknown whereabouts.

In the absence of the main commander in the army, no one could be allowed to enter the military camp casually; this was a military rule.

So they stopped Shen Ruoxi from entering the military camp.

Fortunately, now that the marshal was fortuitously rescued, it was a blessing within misfortune.

“I should call you Mrs. Xiao, right! This place is not safe to stay longer, let’s return to the military camp and talk in detail.” Zhai Wen’s tone was urgent.

Shen Ruoxi did not specifically mention the dissolution of her marriage with Xiao Chengyi, she just nodded slightly, saying, “We must leave here quickly; besides, the marshal also needs a safe place to recuperate, let’s move quickly!”

Several people hurriedly stepped forward, gently lifting Jun Moling.

Just then, a soldier with an anxious expression hurriedly came over, shouting, “Military Advisor, small groups of Beichang stragglers were discovered nearby.”

Shen Ruoxi’s eyes instantly turned cold and resolute, saying, “You all take the marshal back to the military camp immediately, I will cover the retreat!”

Upon hearing this, Zhai Wen’s eyes turned red.

Because of a traitor’s betrayal, they fell into an ambush; it was her father’s words to cover the retreat, and the two thousand Shen Family Army was entirely wiped out.

Moreover, their heroic fearlessness in choosing death over capture was shocking.

Now, how could he let the Loyalty Marquis’s only bloodline cover the retreat and face unknown risks!

“Mrs. Xiao, you are skilled in medicine, the marshal needs you at this moment, leave this to me, and go with them swiftly.”

Shen Ruoxi thought for a moment and found it reasonable.

Jun Moling was the commander of the entire army; if he had an accident, Dayi Country would surely be defeated, which was exactly what Beichang Country was desperately trying to accomplish by killing him.

He absolutely could not have anything happen to him.

“Military Advisor Zhai, be careful, we are leaving first!”

“Go!”

Shen Ruoxi led four or five people, hurriedly carrying Jun Moling away quickly.

As soon as they returned to the military camp, everyone was surprised, not knowing where this suddenly appearing woman came from.

However, upon hearing that the marshal was severely injured, everyone’s thoughts were immediately occupied by him.

Soon, the military doctors in the camp rushed over.

Jun Moling’s wounds reopened in several places, but fortunately, the topical medicine Shen Ruoxi applied on him was top-notch, so only a little blood oozed out without any major concerns.

The military doctors in the camp were generally quite good at their craft, but upon seeing the injuries of the marshal and the treatment already administered by Shen Ruoxi, they couldn’t help but feel admiration.

This woman’s medical skills were far superior to theirs.

For a moment, curiosity and admiration for Shen Ruoxi welled up among the military doctors.

Upon seeing Jun Moling’s condition stabilize, Shen Ruoxi’s tense heart finally calmed down, but she then started worrying about Zhai Wen.

Until they returned, she did not feel relieved, dragging her tired body back to the tent prepared for her to rest.

That night, she was mentally and physically exhausted, and after washing up, she leaned on the couch and fell into a deep sleep.

She awoke to the gentle call of a female soldier, who respectfully said, “Mrs. Xiao, the marshal has woken up, he invites you to his tent.”

Shen Ruoxi responded and hurriedly tidied her wrinkled clothes and rushed over.

Sure enough, Jun Moling was already awake, though his face remained pale without a trace of blood, yet his immensely attractive eyes were cold and sharp.

He glanced at Shen Ruoxi before directly addressing Zhai Wen, “Teacher, find a few experts in the army to escort Miss Shen back to the Capital City.”
