Chapter 231 A Nightmare

How long has it been since you had a nightmare?
After returning from the border, his dreams would always remain with scenes of fighting on the battlefield, heads being chopped off on the ground, and thousands of troops stepping over the broken corpses.

Peace was finally maintained, but no one knew that Jiang Shunxiao, known as the General of Hell on the battlefield, was actually haunted by nightmares at night.

Even if the enemy is killed, it is still a human life...

How long has it been since you had a nightmare?
Since returning home and getting married, his mind has been half occupied by certain things, and he rarely has nightmares anymore.

But just now, he dreamed of Rong Yi lying in his arms with his face covered in blood.

The person who killed her had a bloody face.

The words that lingered in his ears like a curse: "You killed my people, and now I will make your woman pay for it with her life!"

Then those people raised their knives and guns. They didn't dare to touch her. All the sharp weapons were aimed at Rong Yi and they threw them at her.

Do not!
Jiang Shunxiao tried his best to stop her, but the hand he stretched out seemed to be transparent, passing through the swords and guns, and then he watched helplessly as Rong Yi died in his arms.

He tried to hold her wound down like crazy, but there was too much and blood was left on the floor. Rong Yi's face was pale, she looked at him weakly and asked, "Why don't you save me?"

Then, wake up from the dream.

Jiang Shunxiao sat on the bedside with lingering fear, and a rare other emotion appeared under his eyes.

Having this dream at this time, could it be that Rong Yi, who fell into Zhou Ruiman's hands, was also asking him why he still didn't save her after so long?
Jiang Shunxiao didn't dare to think deeply about what would happen to a weak woman like her if she fell into the hands of the enemy. It was not that he had never seen the torture methods used by bandits, so he was even more frightened. Even if Aman secretly followed him, he would not I can guarantee that she will be safe.

Moreover, she is still a woman.

A woman who has no strength to restrain a chicken.

During the war, Jiang Shunxiao saw with his own eyes what happened to those girls at the hands of the enemy. He didn't want to see that kind of scene again in his life.

Therefore, his soldiers have a rule: do not bully the old and weak, and do not humiliate women and children.

But all he can do is to restrain his soldiers. In this world, the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle. From the bottom of his heart, he despises those cowards who take out their anger on women, but he cannot deny that this kind of phenomenon happens from time to time. With his own strength, he can't do it at all. Can't be stopped.

Jiang Shunxiao clenched his fists, knowing that he could not be reckless. He was not a [-] or [-]-year-old person who would disregard everything for his own selfish desires. He knew that Rong Yi was kidnapped, and he knew that he had to take a long-term approach.

But he also secretly told himself that if Rong Yi only suffered a little physical pain, he could still be a little more rational and not kill the Lion Army so badly.

But if they did something unforgivable to Rong Yi... A cold glint flashed in Jiang Shunxiao's eyes, and he would probably raze the entire Lion Army to the ground.

After leaning on the bed to calm down for a while, he got up and prepared to take a shower. Only then did he realize that his back was soaked in cold sweat. It was the cold sweat from nightmares.

……

After taking a bath, Jiang Shunxiao returned to the house and saw Qin Yun and Chang Le sitting in the house.

The three of them looked at each other, all looking bad.

Chang Le did not take a good rest after arriving in Xunzhou, but went out to inquire about news.

She always felt that Rong Yi was kidnapped and she had the greatest responsibility, so in order to alleviate her guilt, she did not dare to stop. If Rong Yi did not come back, she would not be able to rest at ease.

Regarding this matter, Jiang Shunxiao did not blame her and said that it had nothing to do with her.

But Changle had a straightforward and careful temperament. She took Jiang Shunxiao's words as comfort, and then she felt even more guilty.

But in fact, no one, whether it was Jiang Shunxiao or Qin Yun, ever blamed her.

Even though she has made many achievements among the Chang clan and has certain abilities, in the eyes of Jiang and Qin, she is just a child.

If a living person is lost, no one with a sense of responsibility will put the blame on a yellow-haired girl.

Changle looked at the two of them and told what he had learned during the day.

"I heard that the house of the richest man in Xunzhou now belongs to Zhou Ruiman. It is located in a busy and central street. Zhou Ruiman usually stays at the Lion Army headquarters, but in recent days he has been living in the mansion, listening to the mother-in-law who sells vegetables. He said that the maid in the mansion has to go out to buy fresh ingredients every day, and I heard that there are distinguished guests in the mansion."

"..."

"And this distinguished guest is a woman!"

Jiang Shunxiao put down the water glass that was already at his mouth and looked at Chang Le.

Qin Yu also frowned: "Female?"
