When the princess gets married, the general must not flee

Chapter 155 Xichang Lebrun

In the main tent of Xichang, a man wearing a general's robe and with a rebellious face sat on the Luohan bed in front of the desk with a cold look in his eyes. His narrow and long phoenix eyes and high nose bridge all showed his exotic and charming appearance. His slender fingers tapped the armrest beside the bed from time to time, as if he was thinking about something.

This person was none other than Le Brun, the eldest prince of Xichang who had faced off against Ye Qi before.

"How could you be so patient that night!" Lebrun's sinister tone contained gnashing hatred.

Several attacks by them ended in failure, and Ye Qi showed no signs of sending out troops despite being harassed several times. Today's discussion of countermeasures also yielded no results, which made him extremely angry.

The generals standing on both sides in front of him were a little nervous. They stood aside without daring to make a sound, waiting for orders.

"Report!"

At this time, a report from outside the tent broke the tense atmosphere inside the tent. A young general hurried in, knelt down in front of Lebrun and said anxiously: "Your Highness, the Ye family army released our soldiers last night, and now they have returned to the camp!"

Upon hearing this, the generals on both sides looked at each other and then looked at Le Brun.

Lebrun opened his eyes and slowly stared at the young general kneeling on the ground, his eyes were cold.

"How are the soldiers' injuries?" Lebrun asked calmly, a flash of doubt in his cold eyes.

Spies have reported that they suffered heavy casualties in that battle. The generals have been killed and the wounded have been captured. The family army was famous for its ferocity that night, and now they have actually released their soldiers. We must be prepared for a trick.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the soldiers are in a critical condition, but they have been properly treated in the Ye family camp! Now they just need to rest." The young general reported.

"They released him only after treatment!" others whispered.

"Let their leader come in and answer!" Le Brun ordered. He wanted to hear what Ye Qi was up to.

"Yes!"

After the young general left, two less seriously injured prisoners slowly walked into the tent, one supporting the other, who was holding a square object covered with a military flag in his hand.

"Greetings, Your Highness!" The two men knelt down and saluted tremblingly. Although the person holding the things felt that it was against the rules, he was still reluctant to put the things on the ground.

"How dare you! What is that thing you are holding? Why are you not paying respect to His Highness according to the rules?"

A general standing next to Lebrun said with a slight anger, glancing at Lebrun with a flattering tone.

"General, this is General Pu's head!"

The soldier was slightly displeased after hearing this, but he did not show it and still answered respectfully.

Everyone was shocked and Le Brun frowned slightly. If the head had been stored for such a few days, it would have become rotten and smelly.

But he still had to show a look of regret, holding his breath for a moment, and said harshly: "The Ye family army was so vicious that they separated the heads and bodies of our generals, and asked you to bring them back to show off. It's really abominable!"

"We must remember this vengeance, and one day we will make that night pay double!"

"Yes!" The others bowed and praised, but no one asked to see General Pu's remains.

"Someone come!" Lebrun shouted to the outside of the door, "Send General Pu's head back quickly, bury him properly, and comfort his family!"

After the people came in and were about to take General Pu's head, the soldier couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, there is no need to rush to bury General Pu's head. Let their family members see him one by one for the last time before burying him!"

Everyone looked at him in confusion for a moment. If the corpse was not buried in time, it would rot and stink.

Seeing everyone's confusion, the soldier explained, "The Ye family army said that General Pu would rather die than surrender, and praised him as a good general with backbone. Therefore, their military doctors have embalmed his head to prevent it from rotting and decaying, so that we can bring it back as a keepsake!"

Everyone took a breath of cold air. It was not rotten or decayed. No wonder there was no smell now. It turned out that it had been processed.

"Open it and let us take a look!" Everyone was also curious.

The soldier curled his lips, stood up tremblingly, and carefully opened the box covering the Xichang military flag on the small coffee table in front of the desk, revealing General Pu's head.

Bai Xin had specially handled it for him, so seeing that General Pu only looked like he was sleeping, the people of Xichang were slightly surprised that it was well preserved, and it didn't look like they were going to take it back to show off.

Others couldn't help but feel a little strange in their hearts. If they died on the battlefield one day, it would be worth their life in the army to be treated with such courtesy when they returned home.

But Ye Qi was so cruel that he swung his sword so swiftly that it was obvious that General Pu's head and body were separated in an instant, which made them feel a little cold and fearful.

"When did the Ye family army become so merciful and cowardly that they actually let you go and let you bring back the general's head? Did you find anything strange in their camp?"

After Le Brun signaled them to take General Pu's head away, he continued to ask.

"The Ye Family Army fought fiercely. We were unable to defeat them for a long time and suffered heavy casualties. We didn't notice any difference, but the fireballs they used caused us to lose all our men in an instant. It was extremely tragic."

"Fireball? What is that?" Lebrun asked curiously.

"I think it was a kind of firearm of theirs. We attacked with fire, and they threw it into our fire. The sound was like thunder, and the thunder and fire shook us to pieces. There were heavy casualties!" When the prisoner recalled it, he has not yet recovered from the shadow of fear that night.

"The Ye family army actually has such powerful weapons?" Lebrun said coldly.

"Yes, that night, the thunder was deafening. How many brothers were beheaded and killed, and how many brothers are now disabled!" said the soldier, his body trembling slightly. He still felt unusually nervous when he recalled it.

"That night, our army did not kill the captives. We were lucky to be able to keep our lives. They also treated our wounded carefully and did not make us slaves. They let us go after our injuries healed!"

Although the soldier spoke in a calm tone, he was actually feeling grateful and thankful.

After hearing this, Le Brun looked grim. Ye Qi was known for his decisive killing. Although he would not kill those who surrendered, he had never heard of releasing prisoners.

Of course, the small country had long been annexed by him, and the original captives had long become citizens of the Dome Kingdom, and their whereabouts were unknown.

But he couldn't understand why their captives could return safely today.

"You acted so treacherous and cunning tonight. It would be strange if I could let you go back!" Le Brun murmured with a sneer.

Hearing what Lebrun said, the captive lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then thought of something and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, I remember that although Ye Qi fought bravely that night, he was blocked by a woman when he returned to the camp. Ye Qi seemed to be extremely fond of that woman and let her control him in everything. I think he was bewitched by the beauty and is now a little afraid of death, so he dared not attack despite the many harassments!"

"Oh? This is happening!"

Lebrun raised the corner of his mouth slightly and looked at him with a sneer.
