A military commander pointed at Gao Lan, who was tied to a large banner in the center of the camp, and brainwashed his subordinates about loyalty to the emperor.
As for the bloody Gao Lan?
Yes, you used to be our commander, but now? You are just a first-level prisoner.
Gao Lan's heart was bleeding as he watched groups of Qingzhou troops pass by him, scorning and insulting him.
Oh my God! I, Gao Lan, was loyal to the Yuan family and stained the battlefield with blood. What did I get in exchange for it in the end?
Do you think I am a traitor just based on a letter?
Why, why don't you listen to my excuse?
Letters and even seals can be forged!
I, Gao Lan, am so loyal to the Yuan family, can't Yuan Tan feel it?
However, Gao Lan was now tortured to the point where he could not speak.
If it wasn't for the purpose of letting him suffer a few more days of torture to vent his anger, Yuan Tan would have killed Gao Lan long ago.
Now, looking at Gao Lan, who could only drink one meal of sewage every day, Yuan Tan's heart was filled with joy.
Rebellion, this is the consequence of betraying my master!
On the third night when Gao Lan was declared a traitor, Yuan Tan's army camp was at night.
At midnight, after even the patrols had found a hiding place and slept soundly, a sneaky figure quickly came to the large banner bundled up in the center of the camp.
"General Gao, little Lu Renjia was begged by General Gao on the battlefield.
Even the little ones don't believe what they say. However, the little people speak softly and are really unable to defend the general.
Now, when I heard the news, Yuan Tanming said that at noon, the whole army would rush to take the general's sacrificial flag to boost the army's prestige.
Therefore, the young man risked his life to help the general out of trouble.
You, run away quickly!"
While talking, Lu Renjia had already cut off the reins binding Gao Lan one by one.
Through the moonlight, Gao Lan saw clearly that the person in front of him was indeed a Qingzhou soldier. As for the truth of his words, Gao Lan had no way of proving the truth.
After all, as a commander, Gao Lan had saved too many Qingzhou soldiers in battle formations.
And now that this person was able to risk his own life to save him, he would not deceive himself no matter what.
No matter what, in my current situation, there is nothing worth being deceived about.
After being tied up for three days, Gao Lan finally got out and felt extremely sore all over.
But under the current situation, there is no time for him to rest and recuperate.
After all, he is a soldier and his physique is much stronger than the average person.
After getting used to it, Gao Lan was able to support himself.
"General Gao, come quickly, follow me, the younger one has already figured out the route.
If you walk out from here, no one will notice."
In order to rescue Gao Lan, Lu Renjia naturally made some preparations, and the safe route had already been discovered.
Picking up the single sword Lu Renjia prepared for himself, Gao Lan said nothing, nodded silently, and then left quickly with Lu Renjia.
"Who!
No! Gao Lan escaped, hurry up, shoot the arrow!"
However, God's calculation is not as good as man's calculation.
A soldier on patrol at night got up because he needed to urinate, but happened to see Gao Lan fleeing.
Under his shouting, the soldiers in charge of night patrol woke up one after another without saying a word. They responded with a hail of arrows to Gao Lan who fled the Qingzhou camp.
"General, please go quickly, I'll delay you for a while!"
Realizing that the defenders had been alarmed, Lu Renjia raised his sword and turned around, shouting at Gao Lan.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Immediately, a shower of arrows struck, and Lu Renjia was hit by several arrows. However, after they landed, he saw Gao Lan's figure disappearing from his field of vision, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
General, you saved Lu Renjia’s life, and I will give it back to you!
Gao Lan, who was running wildly all the way, was already in tears.
After many years of military service, Gao Lan didn't know that Lu Renjia, who was in the rear, would definitely not survive.
Unexpectedly, after spending half my life as a soldier, I was saved by a man whose life I had not known before.
Already seriously injured, and relying on only a mouthful of sewage to survive for days, Gao Lan's physical strength was already exhausted.
After running wildly for several miles, Gao Lan finally gave out, his vision went dark, and he passed out in a forest.
"My son! My son! You finally woke up."
When he woke up again, Gao Lan felt as if he was in a dream.
Just because, in front of him, he turned out to be his old mother whom he had not seen for many years.
"Mother, why are you here?"
After drinking some water, the burning feeling in his throat subsided a little, Gao Lan quickly asked Mrs. Gao a question.
"Son! It's Lian'er. Lian'er is here to pick up my mother.
We avoided officers and soldiers all the way, so we took the mountain path. We never thought that we would meet my son here.
But, why were you so seriously injured? What happened? My poor son, how much have you suffered!"
While explaining and crying with distress, Mrs. Gao finally gave Gao Lan a rough idea.
Lian'er? Pick up your mother?
After thinking about it carefully, Gao Lan understood.
This, this, the letter in Yuan Tan's hand is real!
Oh my god! Why is this happening? Could it be that this is a divorce plan by the Chu army?
Yes, this must be a divorce tactic used by the Chu army!
But what if he understands it now? Yuan Tan saw that he was about to kill him and then killed him. Can he still explain it? Obviously he can't.
Looking up, Gao Lan saw Qinglian standing beside her so nervous that she was shaking all over.
This must be the Lian'er mentioned in the mother's letter, right?
She is indeed a pretty girl, but it's a pity that she is a spy of the Chu army.
Thinking of this, Gao Lan clenched the sword in his hand.
But just as he was about to attack Qinglian, Mrs. Gao's words came again.
"Son, now that I see you, my mother's heart has fallen to the ground.
I never imagined that Mrs. Yuan could be so ruthless. If Lian'er hadn't risked her life to protect you all the way, I'm afraid my mother would never see you again."
It turned out that after Qinglian escaped with Mrs. Gao, she still alerted the men in black and other spies.
Not knowing Qinglian's intentions, the men in black decided to chase Mrs. Gao and kill her.
Along the way, Qinglian risked her life to get here with Mrs. Gao.
Why can Qinglian defeat the man in black? After all, this is also a secret agent of the Chu army. As a swallow, general fighting skills are also something that need to be learned.
After hearing Mrs. Gao's words, Gao Lan put down his single sword.
Unexpectedly, she was the one who saved her mother?
Mrs. Gao didn't know, so how could Gao Lan not know.
I'm afraid the person who is chasing Mrs. Gao is not someone from the Yuan family, but a spy from the Chu army, right?
Looking at the pale Qinglian, Gao Lan knew that this little girl was afraid that he would expose her.
After all, this is the first time Gao Lan has seen Qinglian, and why has he ever married her?
"Let's go, Lian'er, let's take mother to Chu State together."
For Gao Lan, given the current situation, surrendering to the Chu State is probably the only way out.
As for Qinglian? She burst into tears when she heard Gao Lan's words.
