Jian Shicai walked slowly to the edge of the cliff and watched carefully: "Who knows which road can reach the bottom of this cliff?"

A soldier next to him watched with a torch for a moment, shook his head: "The terrain here is complicated, I don't know how to get there. General, although this is not very high, he can't see the bottom. If he falls to the bottom, there will be no way to survive. Don't worry, he will definitely die!"

Jian Shicai nodded: "That's right, just know that he is dead, and there is no need for us to collect his body. By the way, throw all the nearby corpses and let them bury them with their commander. In this way, they can walk together on the road to the underworld and will be less lonely."

...

Jiang Lie originally looked at death as if he was home, but in the process of his whereabouts, he recalled the events that had happened in recent years like a revolving lantern. When he was only meter away from the ground, he recalled the scene of the day of marriage.

"Yesterday, he attacked Bei'an and protected the country, and tonight he went to Nan to settle down and became a family" - this is a couplet written by Jiang Lie at the gate of Prince Gang's mansion. When writing the couplet, he used his hands to spray out a weak downward flame to maintain the balance of rising and falling.

With a flash of inspiration, Jiang Lie used his last trace of strength to release a cluster of faint flames. Within a distance of more than meter from the ground, he used the cluster of small fire to buffer the high speed accumulated from top to bottom.

After landing gently, Jiang Lie was exhausted and closed his eyes in a daze.

...

When Jiang Lie woke up slowly, he slowly opened his eyes and saw himself lying in a natural cave.

This scene is quite similar to when I first traveled to the Bone-Eating Continent.

Jiang Lie wanted to get up, but he couldn't use any strength. He was still hurting slightly, but what could be seen with his naked eyes was that he was no longer wearing a helmet and armor, and was wrapped in bandages.

"You're awake!"

A young woman's silver bell-like sound came into Jiang Lie's ears.

Jiang Lie was about to turn his head, but was stopped by the young woman-"Don't move, I'll help you up!"

So Jiang Lie was helped and sat up and leaned against the stone wall.

In front of Jiang Lie, a tall young woman, wearing a white robe covered with blood and stains, with long black hair scattered behind her head.

After looking closely, Jiang Lie found that although the woman's face was stained with traces of war, her skin was fair, her facial features were upright, her bright eyes were bright and bright, and her pair of ears were particularly cute like an elf. Roughly speaking, this young woman was only about sixteen years old.

Jiang Lie was very familiar with the young woman's white robe. This was the outfit of the Xiangjun military doctor. Many of the Xiangjun military doctors were women, equivalent to the angel nurse in white, which was a major feature of the Xiangjun.

If nothing unexpected happens, Jiang Lie was rescued by this young woman, but why a military doctor in the Elephant Army wanted to save a commander of the Lion Flame Army made Jiang Lie confused. After all, his dress, including his waist tag and sword, was neatly placed aside, and his identity as the commander of the Lion Flame Army should be obvious.

Jiang Lie gasped gently and asked softly: "You saved me?"

The young woman nodded: "I saved you."

Jiang Lie couldn't understand the motive for this move and asked in confusion: "Do you know who I am? Why did you save me?"

"Of course I know who you are. Your waist card is clearly written on it. The commander of the Royal Lion Flame Army of the Divine Lion Army." The young woman pointed to the waist card that was placed on the ground aside, "Your surname is Jiang, your name is Jiang Lie. You are the biggest enemy of the Xiangmei Empire's Western Expedition Bandit Army."

Jiang Lie's doubts increased as the woman's answer: "Since you know that I am your biggest enemy, why do you still need to save me?"

The young woman responded, "As a doctor, I, Ma Jingjie, never had the truth that I would never save you. When I found you, you still have energy. Since you still have energy, I can't save you. Like those who are not angry, I can't save you even if I want to save you. Although I'm just a dead horse to treat you, fortunately your armor is of good quality, your wounds are not deep, and there are no vital injuries. So I just put some medicine on you and tied some bandages, and you will be alive. Of course, it's true that you have good physique and have shed so much blood. Your lips are white and you can still speak. If someone else had a wound like you, you might have died long ago."

Jiang Lie's doubts were relieved by a small part, and he also learned the young woman's name by the way, and asked casually: "Your name is...Ma...Ma Jingjie?"

"Yes, my surname is Ma, my name is Ma Jingjie. Jing is the character "女" and add a blue green color next to the character "女" and Jie is the character "女" and add a fast right half of the character "女" "Master of the doctor is kind and has a one-sided purpose. The purpose of saving you is to be a different one, which is that I need your help."

Jiang Lie frowned: "You need my help? What do you need me to help you? What can I help you?"

Ma Jingjie stumbled and said, "I... need you to protect me and my life."

Jiang Lie blinked his eyes: "Why should I protect you? You are my enemy, you are the military doctor of the Xiangmei Army, and you are incompatible with our Lion Flame Army."

"Without me, you don't know how many times you can die. I saved your life, and you should also guarantee that I can live. In this way, we will be equal." Ma Jingjie said and held up the Pingxue Sword on the ground. "To put it nicely, I am asking you to protect me. To put it bluntly, I am forcing you. If you don't agree to me, I will kill you. With your current state, even a child can easily kill you. After all, you are a big military officer, and you will definitely be able to weigh the pros and cons."

Jiang Lie thought, "This girl is really scheming, but what she said makes sense. She saved my life and is my benefactor. Even a drop of water needs to be repaid. The kindness of life should be repaid even more. It is natural to repay the kindness of gratitude with a gratitude. However, I am a clay bodhisattva crossing the river now, and I cannot protect myself. I am afraid that I have the will but lack the strength."

"Then I will definitely agree to you. Besides, protecting you and protecting me are actually the same thing. You are a doctor. If I have any wounds that are inflamed, which wounds are cracked, and where there is a need to change the medicine, you must understand it better. I am powerless by myself." Jiang Lie said seriously.

Ma Jingjie smiled slightly: "You are very sensible. No wonder you can be a great commander, no wonder you can beat our bandit army like the Mei Empire to breathe."

Jiang Lie immediately had another doubt: "No, why are you under this cliff?"

"I was running for life, like a headless fly, and I don't know why I escaped here." Ma Jingjie said, pursing her lips, "The stronghold where I was originally was attacked by a certain unit of the National Army. The army abandoned the stronghold and evacuated it in an orderly manner, leaving our military doctors and wounded alone. My surname is Ma. Among our military doctors, I only have my surname Ma, and I can ride a horse, so I ran away on a horse...and they... can only die..."

Jiang Lie sighed and said, "Actually, our Lion Flame Army treats prisoners preferentially. As long as you are willing to surrender on your own initiative, you will never take your life. But unfortunately, you are more stubborn than the other, and you are all ready to die, and none of them are willing to be prisoners. As for this point, I really admire you from the bottom of my heart."

Ma Jingjie nodded: "This is the education we have received since childhood, that is, we cannot surrender voluntarily, and we cannot be captured by the enemy, otherwise it will be a great humiliation. Soldiers must have backbone."

Jiang Lie sneered: "What a pity, a pity, a group of backbone people launched an aggressive war and became invaders."

"Invader?" Ma Jingjie sat on the ground and asked, "Have you ever heard a saying called "Bone-Eating No Reasonable Battle?"

Jiang Lie didn't know what Ma Jingjie was selling in the gourd, so he nodded: "I know the bone-eating war without righteousness. Of course, I know. This sentence means that there is no justice in the war on the bone-eating continent."

Ma Jingjie nodded and said, "You are right. There has never been any justice in the war on the Bone-Eroding Continent. You think we are invading, but we never think we are invading. You think you are defending, but we never think you are defending. The reason you think we are invaders is because you think we have occupied the territory of Qiuyi Kingdom, but do you think the so-called territory of Qiuyi Kingdom has been theirs since ancient times? It is not like this. If you want to say that invaders, carp traces, divine lions, Qiuyi, and Xiangmei, there is no country that is not an invader."

Seeing Jiang Lie's eyes dull, Ma Jingjie continued: "A long time ago, there was no country on the Bone Erosion Continent, only countless tribes. Each tribe has its own totems, carp traces, divine lions, rosy oaths, and elephants. It was just four of the countless tribes that were more powerful. How big can a tribe have? How did those four tribes develop into four empires? It relies on annexation and expansion! Your divine lion kingdom was also the divine lion tribe that was the divine lion tribe that had annexed countless small tribes through your so-called "invasion" and developed into the current divine lion kingdom."

Jiang Lie didn't know how to refute it for a moment, nor did he want to refute it. He just sighed and said, "Military orders are like mountains, but unfortunately the soldiers can only obey orders. I know you don't like war, but you can't help it, and I can't help it. How old are you?"

"Sixteen." Ma Jingjie responded and asked again, "Where are you? Have you gotten married?"

Jiang Lie nodded: "It's long since I got married. I have a wife and a son at home. You are only sixteen years old, so you probably haven't gotten married yet, right?"

It’s not a bad idea to ask this question. After all, in feudal society like the Bones-Erosion Continent, there are many people who get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

Ma Jingjie shook her head: "No, I have been studying medicine since I was a child, and most of the people I deal with are patients, and I have never dealt with any men."

"Oh, you have only seen female patients?" Jiang Lie suddenly realized.

Ma Jingjie shook her head again: "Not that, patients are both men and women, but in my eyes, there is no big difference between men and women as patients. There is only a pile of meat in my eyes, and there is no difference between genders."
