That was because his subordinate had died without being able to touch her.

“Devil, she’s a devil!” He muttered in fear. He’d only die if he charged ahead to fight her. So he could only escape… even though he’d die going back to his master too.

The leader slowly retreated. When Lin Yuelan wasn’t paying attention, he quickly turned around and started to escape.

Just when he thought that he could escape, a large tree branch fell and hit him on his neck. No one knew why the tree branch fell.

Little six and little twelve were so surprised that their jaws dropped.

Although they were afraid of this sudden turn of events, they knew that it was very beneficial to them.

If the leader died, no one in the capital would know that they had survived.

They could then conceal their identities and wait for an opportunity to avenge their general.

When they thought of the general, they immediately turned their heads and looked at the general lying on the ground. His breath was unsteady. Their hearts sank again.

“General!” The four soldiers cried out.

…

Lin Yuelan rolled her eyes when she saw the men crying. She pouted and said nonchalantly, “Why are you crying now?”

Although little twelve was called little twelve, he was the youngest among the group. He was two years younger than Little Six. He was only fourteen years old. He was still a big child.

When he heard Lin Yuelan, he immediately cried and shouted at her, “Do you have no sympathy? The general is about to die. Can’t we be sad? General, don’t worry. Little twelve will definitely avenge you.” As he spoke, he grabbed one of Jiang Zhennan’s hands and continued to cry.

Guo Bing was the oldest. Among the four, he held the highest military position. Two streams of tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes. He clenched his hands into fists, and his eyes were filled with hatred as he said, “General, don’t worry. I swear to heaven that I will avenge you and make those people pay for what they did!”

“General, we will definitely avenge you!” The others echoed.

“Hey, is the masked uncle going to die?” Lin Yuelan asked evenly.

“Shush!” Little Twelve roared at Lin Yuelan angrily.

Lin Yuelan glared at him. Little Twelve was seriously injured. At that moment, he fainted.

Guo Bing and the other two were stunned by what Lin Yuelan did next.

She kicked Jiang Zhennan’s thigh. “Hey, masked uncle, are you okay? If you don’t wake up, your subordinates will cry their hearts out.”

Then, they saw the general, who they thought was dead, move his fingers. The eyes under the mask slowly opened.

Guo Bing’s and the others’ mouths opened wide. What was going on?

The poison had reached their boss’ heart, and he was beyond redemption. There was no saving him.

However, he suddenly could move his hands and open his eyes. What made them even more surprised and excited was that they could actually hear their boss speak.

Jiang Zhennan’s voice was hoarse, magnetic, and a little weak. He thanked Lin Yuelan very sincerely, “Miss, thank you!”

Just now, when he thought he would close his eyes and bid farewell to this world forever, a drop of liquid suddenly flowed into his mouth.

As soon as the liquid entered his mouth, he instantly felt the numbness in his body slowly ease up. He thought it was unbelievable.

He knew he was suffering from heart-eating poison. Even the divine doctor, Wu Yazi, might not even be able to concoct an antidote.

However, that drop of liquid was clearly an antidote. It flowed through his body and cleansed the poison.
