Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1298: Chapter 1299: Not a Single One Left

Ye Zhi told An Jing not to worry, so An Jing thought Ye Zhi’s injuries must really be of no serious concern, but she didn’t expect that Ye Zhi would fall into a coma due to excessive blood loss and has not woken up until now.

An Jing urged the new recruits to go back to sleep quickly, as they still had to continue their usual training tomorrow.

After the new recruits had all left, An Jing then said to Gong Juechen, ”You shouldn’t worry too much either, the fortunate will naturally be looked after by the heavens.”

Looking at Gong Juechen, whose demeanor was different from his usual jovial and teasing nature, now showing only concern for Ye Zhi, and knowing she wasn’t very good at comforting people, An Jing felt that saying that much was already her doing her best.

In fact, she was also very worried about Ye Zhi.

Ye Zhi was her comrade in arms, and now that Ye Zhi was lying there like that, how could she possibly not worry?

Gong Juechen didn’t show whether or not he was comforted by An Jing, he just looked at Ye Zhi on the bed for a long while, and then with a jesting smile asked, ”Who injured her?”

Seeing Gong Juechen reverting to his jesting demeanor, despite being so familiar with it, An Jing inexplicably shivered.

After a pause, she said, ”It was the bandits from Everlasting Mountain. Ye Zi was protecting Feifei and Ting Shu as they left, handling those five bandits alone, and then, she got injured.”

”What about those five bandits?”

”One was killed by Ye Zi, the rest, they probably ran off.”

Gong Juechen didn’t ask anything more, nor did he continue with his teasing smile, his peach blossom eyes kept watching the person on the bed.

Xiao Changyi stood beside An Jing, staying with her for a while, then he said, ”Jing Er, you should go and rest. You have to train troops tomorrow, Ye Zhi told you not to worry because she wants you to train well. Don’t let her wake up and get angry with you.”

An Jing thought that standing guard here would be pointless, so she obediently left Gong Juechen’s tent.

Gong Juechen did not sleep at all, he just sat beside the bed, watching over Ye Zhi until midnight when all was quiet.

”Zhizhi, I’ll step out for a moment, I’ll be back very soon.” He paused, ”I hope when I return, you’ll also be awake.”

After whispering those words, Gong Juechen squeezed Ye Zhi’s hand, then got up and left the tent.

At the entrance of the tent, the soldier who had been following Gong Juechen was lying on the ground, it was unclear whether he had fainted or fallen asleep.

Without even glancing at the soldier, Gong Juechen walked straight out of the military camp,

And that night, nobody knew that someone had left the women’s military camp.

As soon as Gong Juechen left the military camp, he headed south until he entered a grove. Using the faint moonlight, he walked to a large banyan tree, and then, Gong Juechen stopped.

Just as he stopped, three dark figures suddenly leaped down from the banyan tree.

The moment the three figures leaped down, they all knelt on one knee and saluted with fists in front of Gong Juechen, ”Your subordinates greet the Building Master.”

Gong Juechen didn’t look at the three dark figures, he just stood with his hands behind his back, tilting his bewitching face upwards, gazing at the beautiful crescent moon above. After a while, he cornered his mouth into a smile that was not quite a smile.

His lips parted slightly, and his Bloodthirsty aura fully emerged: ”No one from the bandits on Everlasting Mountain is to be spared.”

”Yes!”

...

Gong Juechen was only away from the military camp for an hour, and within that hour he returned. Upon his return, seeing Ye Zhi still lying unconscious on the bed, the color in his peach blossom eyes dimmed.

”Zhizhi, would you wake up, please?” Gong Juechen sat back down by the bed, grasping one of Ye Zhi’s hands tightly in his own, his tone gentle but carrying a plea born from the fear of loss. ”If you wake up, I promise to correct my blunt ways, not to annoy you anymore, alright?”
