Crossing the Sword

Chapter 154: Appeasement

Ye Shisan reluctantly loosened the restraints on Sun Qing and handed her to Ling Fei, saying: "I'll leave this prisoner of war to you. I don't care whether you recruit him or behead him. But there is one thing I should tell you. He was caught by me because he was betrayed by Song Yi, and he was knocked unconscious by Song Yi. Maybe this can help you defeat the enemy. By the way, there is also this black flag." As he said that, he was about to hand over the Tianming flag.

"No need for that. You can keep what you seized." After a pause, he seemed to remember something and said, "Don't change the subject. Their trap is so obvious. You should be able to see it, right?"

Ye Shisan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "So what if he could see it? The victim is real after all. Can we just watch him die just because we know it's a trap?" As he spoke, he took out the Autumn Fan and gently waved it, returning to his previous appearance as a weak scholar, and flew towards Wen Song's healing tent.

Ling Fei didn't say anything else, shook his head with a wry smile, and followed behind Ye Shisan. He also thought that if he had been in his place at the time, he probably wouldn't have ignored it. Although he was absolutely sure that the other party couldn't do anything to him, think about it, isn't Ye Shisan also sure? After all, the result determines everything!

But thinking of Ye Shisan's courage to curse Zhuanxu in person, he began to doubt whether Ye Shisan's rescue was due to his absolute confidence in himself or simply because he thought it was the right thing to do. Thinking of this, he shook his head again. How could he possibly see through someone that even the Black Emperor couldn't figure out?

Back outside the big tent, the four flag chiefs were already waiting. Seeing the two men come back and capture a prisoner, they were not surprised. Because in their minds, their commander Ling Fei was almost omnipotent and they didn't need to worry at all. It would be strange if they were injured by those jumping clowns on the other side.

Compared to the battle situation, Ye Shisan was more concerned about Bai Yu and the girl he had just rescued. After landing, he did not forget to pretend to be cool and asked the four people, "Where are Yu'er and the others?"

Among the four, He Yang, who got along best with Ye Shisan, immediately replied, "They are all fine. Miss Liu has gone to bed, and they are all in Princess Baiyu's tent." Baiyu was a girl after all, and was not allowed to enter the military camp. However, Baiyu's identity was really special, so Ling Fei set up a tent for her alone, and no one was allowed to enter without permission, including Ling Fei and Ye Shisan.

Seeing that Ye Shisan had nothing to do, Ling Fei invited him, "Songxi, I'm trying to save Sun Qing now. Maybe I can get some important information from them. If you don't have anything else to do, come and listen. Besides being a friend, I also have a fierce side. Don't regret it if you miss it."

Ye Shisan knew that Ling Fei was afraid that he would be bored, so he nodded with a smile, which was considered as his agreement.

In the central army tent, a young man named Zhang Lang, who was wearing foreign clothes, was brought up. He thought that the other party would find a way to force him to confess, but he unexpectedly found that his wife, Sun Qing, was also in the tent. But she had fainted now. Ye Shisan sat opposite her, supporting her palms, and Ling Fei sat behind her, pressing his right hand on her vest. Not knowing what the two were doing, Zhang Lang immediately shouted angrily: "What did you do to Qing'er? Let her go!"

Of course, the two would not listen to him. Ye Shisan took the time to smile and said, "I really don't know how you survived in such a dangerous profession as a bandit. Before we even asked you, you admitted that you had a special relationship with this girl. But don't worry, we are just helping her heal her wounds. She was injured by your boss Song Yi."

Zhang Lang smiled coldly and said, "I've always heard that General Wu Xing is an upright person, but I didn't expect that he would use such a boring trick to sow discord. Do you think I will believe you enemies, or the leader I have been working with for several years?" There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, but he didn't dare to curse. After all, he was still afraid of Sun Qing when he saw that he was in the hands of the two men.

Ye Shisan would not argue with him, and continued to use the water energy and Ling Fei's wood energy to help Sun Qing heal. Sun Qing was really seriously injured, because Song Yi had completely abandoned this subordinate when he betrayed her, so he was merciless. If he left her to fend for herself, she would probably not survive for more than three days.

But Ling Fei's wood energy is the most helpful energy for restoring life, and with Ye Shisan's pure water energy as an aid, the healing effect is definitely considerable. Even Sun Qing's current injuries have been stabilized by them. As long as they take care of it in the future, it won't take long for her to recover. Now all the two have to do is to work hard to wake her up first.

Ye Shisan shook his head slightly and said, "This is your subjective mistake. The options you face are not, believe us or believe Song Yi. It’s, believe Song Yi or believe your wife." After saying that, the two of them had completed the last big cycle and each ended their practice.

Zhang Lang listened to Ye Shi's confident words and began to doubt his previous judgment. Then he fixed his concerned eyes on Sun Qing. As long as Sun Qing woke up, all the answers would be revealed immediately. Between a leader he didn't know and his beloved wife, who was more trustworthy, anyone would choose.

As Ye Shisan and Ling Fei expected, Sun Qing woke up slowly after they finished their practice. The first thing she saw was Ye Shisan, who was sitting opposite her and had returned to his scholarly appearance. After a slight flash of surprise in her eyes, she asked calmly, "Did you save me? Thank you."

When he saw Sun Qing waking up, Zhang Lang said anxiously: "Qing'er, you're awake! Are you really okay?" He wanted to rush over, but he was tied up by the special ropes of the Five Elements Flags, and two flag captains held him down, so he failed.

Sun Qing was also delighted when she heard Zhang Lang's voice. Although she had always believed that Ling Fei was upright and would not abuse prisoners of war, she was still delighted to see that Zhang Lang was fine. However, she was still very weak at the moment, so she could only smile and nod to Zhang Lang and said, "Brother Lang, I'm glad you're okay."

Ling Fei originally wanted to use his aura to force the other party to tell him what he wanted to know. But seeing that Ye Shisan actually adopted a gentle approach, he also said, "What you should do now is to tell us your name. Also, tell Zhang Lang how you got hurt."

Sun Qing thought of Song Yi's ruthless palm, and also thought of Ye Shisan using his own blood to attract the blood demon in order to save his companions. Comparing the two's actions, he was in a good position. He closed his eyes and shook his head, saying leisurely: "Brother Lang, I now know what kind of person Song Yi is. He actually used me as a sacrifice to escape! Cough..." When he was angry, he aroused the internal injuries that had just healed, and coughed up a small mouthful of blood.
