Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

Whether she could meet Captain Xia, who was here too, was still unknown.

Ignoring the bitterness in her heart, Ye Jian untied the rope for Zhou Yijin and asked her to lie down gently. She then instructed Zhou Yijin to take a deep breath to see if the pain would get worse.

Partial pain was the most obvious symptom of a broken rib. At the same time, she would cough. Ye Jian heaved a sigh of relief. Yijin hadn’t coughed so far, and she didn’t feel any pain when she took deep breaths.

”It’s probably just a soft tissue bruise. There are no broken ribs,” Ye Jian said in a low voice with a relaxed smile.

Zhou Yijin even tried to turn her body. After confirming that there was no obvious pain, she heaved a sigh of relief. ”It looks like the benefits of long-term dancing training are evident. My bones are more flexible than ordinary people.”

Liu Le, who had regained her senses from wondering how Ye Jian could move normally, couldn’t help but laugh as she cried. It seemed to be true. Besides bruises, her bones were fine.

The two of them smiled. The smile in Ye Jian’s eyes got deeper.

There was a bitterness in Zhou Yijin’s smile that Liu Le didn’t have. She raised her hand and touched Ye Jian’s face carefully. She rubbed it a few times. Zhou Yijin then pounced into Ye Jian’s arms as tears fell from her eyes.

It was alright if she got beaten up, but what about her sixth cousin-in-law?

That bastard had stepped on her sixth cousin-in-law’s face and taken photos of her.

That was the biggest humiliation.

”I’m sorry, Sixth Cousin-in-law. I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have sent you a message. If I hadn’t done that, you wouldn’t have needed to suffer with us.”

She didn’t dare to sob too loudly. She was afraid that they would attract the attention of the guards outside. Her shoulders twitched, and her tears came streaming down. They instantly wet Ye Jian’s chest.

Ye Jian’s soft and firm voice came from above her head. ”You asked me for help, which means that you believe me. Even if you hadn’t sent me a message, I would’ve still come to save you if I found out through other means.

”Stop crying. If you continue crying, you’ll drench my clothes.. Also, don’t you find it dirty? I haven’t changed my clothes for a few days. Don’t you smell the sourness?”

In the end, Ye Jian made a joke. Zhou Yijin wanted to laugh, but she wanted to cry even more. She buried her entire face in Ye Jian’s shoulder and said in a low voice, ”That’s good. I haven’t washed my face for a few days. I can wash my face if your clothes are wet.”

”Let’s go out and wash our faces with clean water. Let’s not wash our faces with tears… Washing our faces with tears is…” There was a slight rustling sound outside as if something was dragged away. Ye Jian’s gaze turned sharp before she could say the word ’dirty’. She held Zhou Yijin’s shoulders and let her leave her arms. She placed a finger to her mouth and made a shushing gesture.

Then, Ye Jian quickly rolled a few times to hide at the edge of the door to the dungeon.

Someone was gently prying open the iron chain. Ye Jian slowly leaned over and looked outside. When she retracted her gaze, there was a bright light in her eyes. This person was definitely not from Qin Maosheng’s side. Since that was the case, then the soldiers who were here to save them must be here!

Although she had a guess, Ye Jian still asked in a low voice, ”Who is it?”

”Cloud Leopard…”

The dark figure spoke in a low voice as he gently pried open the iron lock. Just as he was about to pull out the iron chain, the team member in charge of keeping watch outside said hurriedly, ”Someone’s here!”
