Chapter 386 Turnaround

Zheng Xun had seen the army that was loved and protected the country before the apocalypse, and she had also seen the chaotic state of the army and civilians after the collapse of the order in the apocalypse. Her feelings were different from everyone else's.

She now only wishes she could rush to the border; if she were there, she wouldn't allow this to happen.

But she is only one person, and she cannot be in two places at once.

Even though she wields almost supreme power and possesses some of the world's most formidable fighting strength, there are still things she is powerless to change.

Inside the Hezheng Hall, the oppressive atmosphere was almost overwhelming.

"General He... sob..."

Liao Hongsheng stared blankly in the direction from which the crying sound came.

It's Duan Yunfeng.

He wanted to laugh at him and tease him as usual, but when he opened his mouth, he found himself choked up.

Xu Bin covered his face and sobbed, while Jiang Weiguo looked up and wiped away his tears.

In the Hezheng Hall, there were some people who were too young to have ever seen General He before.

Some people had never met General He or had only seen him a few times.

Some of them once fought alongside General He.

Some people were punished by General He for causing trouble.

Regardless of past circumstances, at this moment, their sorrow resonated, simply because the person dying in the light screen was General He.

Their hero, the general of Dayong.

Compared to the impregnable city walls of Liaozhou, he was more like the backbone of Liaozhou.

Inside the light screen, He Wuyu's speech was interrupted several times.

But she was very patient.

Butler He's eyes were blurry with tears. Through the mist in his eyes, looking at her silent and calm demeanor, he seemed to see General He in his youth.

He finally couldn't hold back and started wailing.

Seeing that no one showed any sign of stopping, He Wuyu could only try to comfort them: "Alright, things may not necessarily come to that. Instead of crying here, let's go and make preparations. Also, take good care of the doctors. They are working very hard, so don't let them worry about anything else."

After everything was explained, He Wuyu looked up at the dark, cloud-covered sky.

After discovering her talent, her grandfather began to teach her everything he knew.

At that time, he held his young daughter behind the parapet, watching the stars.

"Look here, there is a star."

He Wuyu hugged his neck and looked intently in the direction he was pointing: "No, why aren't the stars shining? Is Grandfather seeing things?"

"No, it just won't be bright at this time of year."

He Wuyu trusted his grandfather's words completely and nodded without any doubt to show that he remembered them.

Grandfather chuckled: "Don't worry, war is not child's play. Many unexpected things can happen when you're on the march. Life is like a star. The person you think is dead may just be a star that has been temporarily extinguished. When they miss you, they will open their eyes to look at you."

At that time, He Wuyu did not understand what death meant, but his grandfather said that it was a lesson that every general had to face.

She is no longer the naive little girl she once was. Her grandfather, who was once strong and capable of lifting her up, is now thin and frail.

"General!"

Suddenly hearing the hurried footsteps and anxious shouts of Butler He, He Wuyu's heart skipped a beat.

"What's the matter?"

"Medicine! A commoner has brought a medicinal herb that the old general needs!"

Despite his agitation, Butler He clearly recounted what had happened.

He Wuyu instantly returned to the warm and pleasant feeling of a gentle spring breeze.

She turned and ran.

Upon arriving at the place where medicinal herbs were collected, they saw Zhao Huichun carefully holding a medicinal herb, while Doctor Yuan next to him was excitedly saying something.

Upon seeing He Wuyu approach, Zhao Huichun exclaimed excitedly, "Hard work pays off! General He, you've really found one!"

"Are you sure? Is it really correct?"

Knowing that she was emotional, Zhao Huichun and Doctor Yuan did not take her doubts to heart and emphasized, "It's true."

Even though there was only one plant, at least there was hope.

"They actually found it," He Wuyu murmured. "By the way, who sent the medicine?"

Dr. Yuan pointed to an old woman not far away: "It's Granny Lin."

He Wuyu remembered that this was the silver-haired old woman who had spoken up for her outside the pharmacy.

"Oh dear! Knowing that the old general needed these two medicines, I went back and mobilized the people around me to look for them. As soon as I found them today, I rushed to bring them to you. It's just a pity that I only found one plant..."

After hearing this, He Wuyu quickly walked to Granny Lin and knelt down: "Thank you!"

She tried to kowtow, but Granny Lin jumped back in fright.

"No, no, no, I can't accept such a gift!"

"You deserve it."

After being stopped, He Wuyu did not insist. She had not originally intended to repay the kindness with just this gesture.

"It's late tonight, Granny Lin, why don't you stay at the General's Mansion for the night?"

"That won't do, my chickens..."

"I'll send someone to help you feed them," He Wuyu said, holding Grandma Lin's hand. "The night road is dangerous. You've helped me so much. If I can't even let you stay for one night, I won't feel at ease!"

Hearing her sincere words, Granny Lin hesitated and said, "Then stay one night?"

"Okay, I'll have someone tidy up your room," He Wuyu said, relieved. He turned to look at Zhao Huichun and the others. "Let's go back first."

Although the herb could not cure the poison, it undoubtedly boosted everyone's spirits considerably.

Zhao Huichun and Doctor Yuan didn't dare to delay and hurried back to continue studying the prescription.

Judging that the time was about right, Zheng Xun also shifted the view of the light screen back.

Concerned about General He's condition, the Second Prince was very dissatisfied with Qi Yongji's untimely duel.

"He's gone mad, training troops in the middle of the night."

The sixth prince pulled his cloak tighter: "A dark and windy night is the perfect time to cause trouble."

At this moment, the competition inside the light screen has begun.

What reassured the Dayong people was that the Heguo people had not yet learned their essence, and what could have been a very interesting confrontation had turned into a farce.

Qiu Manyun felt bored and yawned: "Your Majesty, this is so boring."

Qi Yongji's lips curled into a smile, his tone enigmatic: "It'll get lively soon."

No sooner had he finished speaking than an unexpected event occurred.

The eleventh prince, who was directing the battle, took a bow and arrow from the person next to him.

The arrow was pointing towards his opponent, but he suddenly turned around, and the arrow shot towards the center of the ministers.

Then, the soldiers who had been fighting began to roar and hack and slash indiscriminately.

In the chaos, no one realized that the arrow was aimed at Diao De.

But Diao De had long known that something would happen in the palace today, so he remained vigilant.

As the eleventh prince turned around, he pulled an unsuspecting minister in front of him.

As expected of a member of the royal family, the seemingly unremarkable eleventh prince possesses such superb archery skills.

The arrow pierced the unfortunate minister's throat with deadly accuracy. Diao De's eyes widened in fury. Without thinking twice, he took off his official robes, which he was so proud of, and mingled into the crowd.

But arrows seemed to have a specific target in mind, relentlessly pursuing and killing him.

Wan Yao, Wu Qing, and others shared the same fate.
