Hurt my loved ones? I'm not guarding this country's borders anymore!

Shen Jinglong's warhorse did not slow down.

"Shen Jinglong, the King has ordered you to stop immediately!"

A majestic voice rang in Shen Jinglong's ears.

Zhuque's eyes narrowed: "Commander Long, it's Zhuge Tianming!"

Zhuge Tianming, the Chief Inspector of the Northern Border, was appointed by Heaven to inspect the world.

Shen Jinglong's gaze was deep, and he paid no attention to it.

"Commander Long..." Zhuque said with some worry.

After all, the Dragon Patrol Envoy represents the face of the king.

"Shen Jinglong! Do you have any respect for military law? Do you have any respect for the ruler?"

"I'm saying this one last time, stop immediately!"

"Otherwise, as the Northern Border Dragon Patrol Envoy, I have the right to surround and kill you!"

Seeing that Shen Jinglong did not answer, Zhuge Tianming roared angrily.

Finally, Shen Jinglong stopped in front of the Dragon Patrol Envoy.

"Zhuge Tianming, three years ago, the Northern Border Patrol Envoy's residence was assassinated by assassins from the Northern Bear Kingdom. I saved forty-eight lives of you, the Northern Border Patrol Envoy."

Zhuge Tianming's expression softened slightly. He remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Shen Jinglong, I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. What is it that you must leave the Northern Border at this time?"

Shen Jinglong's voice was filled with grief: "What happened? I, Shen Jinglong, have served my country for so many years, risking my life countless times, yet I can't even protect my own family!"

"My sister was abused, and she committed suicide!"

"Zhuge Tianming, if you don't stop me today, I, Shen Jinglong, will owe you a favor."

"If you stop me, I could save your life back then, and I can get it back now!"

Zhuge Tianming was stunned and lost in thought.

He hadn't expected that Shen Jinglong's reason for leaving the Northern Border would be this.

However, he received news that Shen Jinglong's family was safe and sound in Cangcheng.

Suddenly, Zhuge Tianming understood.

Someone is targeting Shen Jinglong!

But... the nation's command is hard to disobey!

"Shen Jinglong, I will send someone to investigate your sister's matter thoroughly. You..."

"Snapped!"

A whip cracked near Zhuge Tianming's ear, taking away a lock of hair from his temple.

Zhuge Tianming's pupils contracted; he knew there was no room for negotiation!

"Chief Inspector, should we surround and kill him?"

One of the dragon patrolmen raised his spear with a livid face.

Zhuge Tianming gave him a cold look: "Let him go."

"Chief Inspector, the King has given an order..."

"I told him to leave!" Zhuge Tianming roared.

"I will take full responsibility for any charges against me!"

After saying that, he ordered the patrolling officers to disperse and let Shen Jinglong leave.

Shen Jinglong's eyes flickered slightly, but he said nothing and quickly left.

"Shen Jinglong, I've repaid your life."

Zhuge Tianming looked at the black dot that had disappeared to the south and sighed softly.

……

Cangcheng, Bingmasi.

With a solemn expression, Sima Nantian, the general of Cangcheng, hurriedly led his men to the north gate of the city.

He had just received a message from his superior via carrier pigeon, informing him that a deserter had fled the northern border on horseback, and that he was ordered to lead his troops to kill the man and his horse.

After deploying his forces, Sima Nantian stood ready for battle.

Before long, two black dots appeared in his field of vision.

As the distance closed, Sima Nantian waved his hand!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Arrows shot towards Shen Jinglong and Zhuque.

"not good!"

Faced with a dense barrage of arrows, Suzaku's expression changed drastically.

What followed was endless anger.

Commander Long has risked his life in the northern border, and now, within the Dragon Kingdom's borders, there are still people who dare to point swords and arrows at them!

Facing the dense rain of arrows, Shen Jinglong's expression was icy as he drew a black spear from the side of his horse.

With a single wave of his hand, a black spear shield appeared in front of the warhorse, blocking all the arrows.

This!

Sima Nantian watched all of this in shock.

How is that possible!

The soldiers of the Military Command were stunned for a moment. They only reacted when Shen Jinglong and Zhuque rode up to them. They all took out their spears and formed a spear formation, ready for battle.

Zhuque rode past Shen Jinglong, glaring angrily at the soldiers of the Military Command.

As one of the four most famous generals in the Northern Territory, Suzaku is not only exceptionally strong but also a renowned cold and beautiful woman.

The soldiers of the Military Command, who had formed a gun formation, instinctively pressed their gun tips down.

Sima Nantian turned deathly pale the moment he saw the Vermilion Bird.

He had a bad feeling.

When Sima Nantian saw the man behind Zhuque, his pupils dilated violently.

The soldiers from the Military Command came to their senses, their faces solemn, their hands gripping their guns firmly, and they stood motionless, facing Zhuque and Shen Jinglong.

"Insolence!" Suzaku said with a stern face, looking at the crowd before him.

"As soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom, how can we point guns and arrows at our own people! Who is in charge? Step forward!"

If it weren't for Commander Long's impenetrable pistol and shield, they would have been riddled with holes in that terrifying scene just now!

Having fought against the Northern Bear Kingdom in the North for so many years without dying, it would be too humiliating to die by an arrow from one's own people!

"Put down your gun!"

Sima Nantian snapped out of his daze, took a deep breath, and walked out.

He saluted Shen Jinglong: "Former Sima Nantian of the Canglang Legion greets Commander Long!"

Zhuque's face darkened immediately when he saw that it was someone he knew.

He went up and slapped her.

"Stop." Shen Jinglong suddenly spoke.

"Commander Long!" Zhuque looked at Shen Jinglong in confusion.

Shen Jinglong shook his head, and Zhuque angrily lowered her hand.

"I never expected you to come to Cangcheng after retiring from the military."

Shen Jinglong looked at his former subordinate and nodded.

Sima Nantian was somewhat excited: "Commander Long, I have always missed the days when I charged into battle alongside you. If it weren't for my failing health, I would have definitely followed you to destroy the Northern Bear Kingdom!"

As he spoke, Sima Nantian hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Commander Long, what brings you to Cangcheng all of a sudden?"

Shen Jinglong glanced at him indifferently. "What, can't I come?"

Sima Nantian waved his hands repeatedly. He originally wanted to ask why his superiors said Shen Jinglong was a deserter.

But he stopped himself from saying it, feeling there must be some misunderstanding!

How could Commander Long be a deserter?

"Prepare a horse for me."

Shen Jinglong looked at the familiar city, a complex expression in his eyes.

"Yes!!" Sima Nantian immediately agreed and had his precious horse delivered to Shen Jinglong.

Shen Jinglong replaced his and Zhuque's exhausted warhorses with Sima Nantian's prized steed and charged into the city gate.

"Sir, are we just going to let them leave like this? We've been instructed to do so..." Sima Nantian's deputy asked hesitantly after Shen Jinglong and his companion left.

Sima Nantian gave his deputy a deep look.

"Do you really think someone who has guarded the northern border of the Dragon Kingdom for years would be a deserter?"

"Do you really think a commander who single-handedly protected millions of people in the North would desert?"

The deputy lowered his head, but still spoke up: "But, sir, if the higher-ups blame us, we..."

Sima Nantian waved his hand: "Remember, we are soldiers first and foremost."

"The infighting among those people up there has nothing to do with us."

"Suzaku, where is my sister now?"

In the car, Shen Jinglong asked Zhuque.

Zhuque replied, "Commander Long, give me a quarter of an hour!"

Soon, Zhuque made contact with her people in Cangcheng.

"General Long, your sister is at... the mortuary."

boom!

Shen Jinglong's precious horse suddenly knelt on the ground, its limbs shattered!

His eyes were bloodshot, and his bloodshot pupils stared blankly at Zhuque.
