The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm

Chapter 699 Ridicule

Lian Yi's mood seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss, and all his tasks ended in failure.

She didn't know how to face such a result, and she didn't know how to explain to General Li when she returned.

The few people who had managed to escape from the raging fire were now sitting on the ground dejectedly, silent with each other.

They suffered multiple injuries and their throats were in unbearable pain from inhaling too much smoke.

Even the tears were evaporated by the heat, leaving only dry eyes and a face full of despair.

However, the enemy did not give up.

They stood not far away, shouting at these exhausted men, their words full of provocation and ridicule.

"Haha, I'll spare your lives and let you go back to tell General Li that next time we bring in food, we'll come and rob it again! You guys are so weak, you're nothing but a bunch of trash!"

Although these people were exhausted, the anger in their hearts was instantly ignited when they heard such humiliation.

They stared at the enemy with their eyes wide open, wishing they could rush up and fight them to the death.

However, their bodies were out of control and they had no strength to resist.

He could only stare at those triumphant enemies with eyes full of hatred, and listen to their continued sarcasm with gritted teeth.

"Use whatever means you have. Oh, by the way, you losers can only watch helplessly. Hahahaha!"

The enemy's laughter echoed in the air, like sharp blades, deeply hurting the hearts of these people.

Lian Yi's hatred for them was like a surging river, endless, but he could do nothing about it.

However, now is not the best time to seek revenge.

She knew very well that if she wanted to teach them a lesson, she had to cheer herself up first and then beat the crap out of them in one fell swoop.

The most urgent thing is to think carefully about how to cleverly blame Niu Xiaoni for this tragic ending.

Lian Yi slowly turned around and his eyes fell on the soldiers.

She knew very well that it would not be difficult to convince these people.

After all, shifting the blame for failure onto others can not only avoid overly harsh punishment, but also make them feel a little better.

At this moment, the soldiers were in an extremely low mood and easily instigated, which undoubtedly provided Lian Yi with an excellent opportunity.

Lian Yi held the red tassel spear tightly in both hands. She used all her strength to support her body, which was as heavy as a lead block, from the ground.

Every movement seemed so difficult, and her legs trembled uncontrollably.

But she still gritted her teeth and persevered, moving forward step by step.

Finally, she staggered over to them.

"Brothers..." Her voice revealed endless exhaustion and despair, "We've suffered a crushing defeat, and all of this... is all thanks to that Niu Xiaoni!"

Her words were filled with resentment and unwillingness. "She was the one who said the logistics troops would definitely pass through here and asked us to send troops to protect them. But what happened? We were ambushed by the enemy and suffered heavy losses!"

"At first, no one was willing to take on this mission. I was actually quite nervous, as it was quite difficult, but I was also worried that it would put General Li in a difficult position. After much deliberation, I gritted my teeth and accepted it."

"However, I did have a small request. I thought Niu Xiaoni was quite clever and had a lot of ideas. If we could have her join us on this mission, maybe she could help us think of solutions and offer some advice when we encounter problems."

"But who knew that this Niu Xiaoni is such a coward! She's only good at talking."

"The current situation is inextricably linked to her. When I return to the camp, I will report this to General Li. You must also accompany me. We must not let so many brothers sacrifice in vain!"

"If we just keep silent like this, we will bear all the responsibility for the defeat, while she will be safe and sound, unharmed!"

One of them coughed a few times, and his voice was a little hoarse, as if something was blocked in his throat.

He responded, "General Lian Yi is absolutely right. Niu Xiaoni's predictions were indeed very accurate. We cannot deny that."

"However, this matter was initiated by her after all, but she didn't come along. I'm afraid there's something wrong."

"Yes, you're right, there is indeed a problem." Another person echoed, his tone revealing a hint of doubt and worry.

Seeing this, Lian Yi felt secretly proud in her heart. She had successfully aroused everyone's suspicion and made them believe what she said.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, but she quickly returned to her serious expression.

"Niu Xiaoni, Niu Xiaoni, just wait and see. General Li can only be mine, and no one can take him away from me!"

Lian Yi secretly swore in her heart that her possessiveness towards General Li became stronger and stronger.

In this way, these people rode their horses, stopping and starting along the way, and their speed was much slower than when they came.

Some of them were seriously injured and would suffer unbearable pain if they moved even a little. They were also short of food and medicine, and there were few families along the way they could turn to for help.

The number of people left was already very small, and another seriously injured person unfortunately died on the way.

In addition, Lian Yi would say bad things about Niu Xiaoni in front of everyone from time to time, and these people's disgust towards Niu Xiaoni grew day by day. Now, whenever she was mentioned, they would grit their teeth and hate her.

After a long and arduous journey, they finally returned to the camp.

General Li stood at the entrance of the camp and saw their exhausted and wounded figures from afar.

He felt a sharp pain in his heart and his eyes became moist.

As they approached, General Li could no longer hold back his tears.

He looked at these brave soldiers, his heart filled with guilt and self-blame.

Lian Yi burst into tears and said to General Li in a trembling voice: "General Li, the brothers are..."

Before she could finish her words, she was choked with sobs and couldn't continue.

General Li suppressed his grief and comforted them, "You've worked so hard. Send them to the military doctor quickly. They must be treated well. There must be no mistakes."

However, some people had reached their limit and fainted before they even had time to reach the military doctor.

Seeing this, General Li was extremely anxious. He quickly ordered his men to carry the fainted soldier to a hospital for treatment.

General Li stood there, reflecting on this action with a heavy heart.
