"Your Highness, do you mean that they should die?" Jiang Xun asked.
"As long as their deaths are meaningful, why shouldn't they die?" Huan Zhuo asked.
Jiang Xun and the others were furious, but they silently clenched their fists and endured. Li Feng couldn't care less. He didn't care that Huan Zhuo was a prince and said loudly, "Duan Of Silla, do you mean that the lives of us commoners are cheap?"
Huan Zhuo had never been contradicted in front of others before. His face was gloomy and he snorted. Before he could say anything, Chen Jing beside him said, "Commoners are not worth mentioning."
Li Feng heard this and slammed his hand on the table. A corner of the three chi thick wooden table was smashed off by him. The veins on his forehead bulged as he said, "Who are you talking about?"
Chen Jing was stubborn and self-opinionated because he won the battle between Hao Yu and Xiao Ze. At this time, he didn't care about Li Feng at all. "I'm talking about you. A bunch of boorish people pretending to be saints!"
Li Feng was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot. At this time, he couldn't care about anything else. He suddenly stood up and grabbed Chen Jing's collar. He clenched his fist and was about to hit him.
Everyone hurriedly stood up to stop him. He was very strong and struggled to break free. Chen Jing also didn't want to lose out. He also stretched out his fist to hit Li Feng. For a moment, it was chaos. Even the soldiers outside the tent were looking in.
"Stop!" A cold rebuke sounded. It had an irresistible power. Everyone stopped and looked over. They saw Yi Ling standing in front of the map with a cold face and gloomy eyes.
Everyone resentfully stopped what they were doing. Only Li Feng was still angry and tried to hit Chen Jing, who was separated by people.
Yi Ling saw this and scolded him again. He was furious, "Li Feng! Do you still have … "Before he could finish, he felt something sweet in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood, dyeing the map in front of him red.
Seeing this, no one dared to act rashly. Yi Lingjun's army panicked and hurriedly rushed forward to support him. "General, what's wrong with you! Nothing must happen to you! "
It was only now that everyone came to their senses and understood the severity of the situation. Yi Ling was the god of all the soldiers. Now that he had fallen, how were they going to fight the battle of Yin Province?
Huan Zhuo hastily raised his voice, "Call the military doctor! Call the military doctor! "
Yi Ling clutched his chest and fell back into the chair. In the blink of an eye, he was on the verge of death. He said intermittently, "Block the news."
Huan Zhuo also immediately understood. He no longer shouted for the military doctor. He immediately ordered people to disperse the soldiers who were watching at the door and sent people to carry Yi Ling into the bedchamber.
He secretly asked someone to call the military doctor over.
The military doctor in the camp had already heard the news, but he didn't expect it to be so serious. Although the news was blocked, there were still many people around Yi Ling's bed. When the military doctor saw it, Huan Zhuo couldn't wait to ask, "What's going on?"
The military doctor said with a heavy expression, "I'm afraid he's poisoned."
"Poisoned!" someone shouted.
"Is it serious?" Huan Zhuo continued to ask.
"There's no way to reverse the situation." The military doctor only left four words.
When Huan Zhuo heard this, he felt the world become dark.

When the news of Yi Ling being poisoned reached the rear camp, Gu Yan was talking to Chen Qiong outside the camp. The soldier stumbled in. When he saw Gu Yan, he bowed to the ground and cried bitterly, "Madam, Madam, the general has been poisoned!"
Although Gu Yan knew what was going on, when she saw the soldier's painful expression, her heart clenched tightly.
His entire body froze. Then, his vision turned black, and he fell head first into Chen Qiong's arms.
Chen Qiong and Zhao Shuyue hurriedly supported her and kept calling, "Sister, sister."
After a while, Gu Yan's eyelashes moved slightly. She slowly woke up and said, "I want to see him."
Chen Qiong didn't delay. He immediately asked Zhao Shuyue to help support Gu Yan and accompanied her to Yi Ling's tent.
There were soldiers guarding the entrance of Yi Ling's tent, but there was still a circle of people anxiously waiting for news.
When they saw Gu Yan coming, they took the initiative to make way. Jiang Xun was guarding in front of the tent. When he saw her from afar, he walked a few steps forward and bowed, "Madam."
Gu Yan asked, "How is it?"
Jiang Xun still didn't know what was going on. His face was pale and he was obviously very worried. However, his voice didn't reveal any trace of emotion. He said calmly, "Madam, you should go in and take a look."
Gu Yan nodded. She held Chen Qiong's hand and said, "Sister, don't worry."
Chen Qiong naturally understood what she meant. He thought that Yi Ling's life was hanging by a thread and that the two must have something to talk about. He didn't want to disturb her. He let go of her and said, "Sister, go ahead. I'll wait for you outside."
Gu Yan nodded and went into the tent.
Only the military doctor was in front of Yi Ling's bed. There seemed to be a lingering smell of blood in the air. When he saw Gu Yan come in, he bowed and made way.
Gu Yan sat down by the bed. She held his hand and called softly, "Yi Ling."
He lay there lifelessly with his eyes closed. The armor on his body had not been removed, but his hair was in a mess. His usually fierce face now looked much gentler, so fragile that it was frightening.
Gu Yan felt her heart tremble. It seemed that the person in front of her would really leave her. Tears welled up in her eyes. "Yi Ling, wake up." As she spoke, the tears in her eyes dripped onto his hand.
Yi Ling's heart softened when she gently held his hand. He heard her tearful voice. He wanted to comfort her, but he couldn't move. He could only gently squeeze her hand.
Gu Yan felt his movement and her heart calmed down. She turned around and asked the military doctor, "Will the general get better?"
The military doctor was Yi Ling's old subordinate. He had been involved in this matter from the beginning to the end. He didn't hide anything from Gu Yan. "Madam, don't worry."
Gu Yan's expression relaxed when she heard this. She stood up and bowed to the military doctor. "Thank you for your trouble."
The military doctor hurriedly waved his hand to help her up. "Madam, you can't. Madam, you have to continue acting. "
Gu Yan nodded. "I understand." She looked at Yi Ling on the bed, then turned and left the tent.
Jiang Xun saw her come out and hurriedly asked, "Madam, how is the general?"
Gu Yan's eyes were filled with tears. Her face was pale and her voice trembled. "The general wants you to go in." Jiang Xun saw her expression and his heart sank. When he heard Yi Ling calling for him, he didn't dare to delay any longer. He turned and entered the tent.

The day after Yi Ling fell ill, Li Feng was stripped of all his duties because he had a conflict with Chen Jing in public. He was forced to cook in the rear camp. Jiang Xun temporarily commanded Yi Ling's troops.
On the 10th of the 6th month in the 44th year of Hokuin, the Battle of Yin Zhou finally began.
That night, Xiao Ze sent out 20,000 troops to launch a surprise attack. They were discovered by the British Martial Army and the two armies fought 30 li outside of Yin Zhou City. When the news came, Huan Zhuo immediately sent Chen Jing to lead troops to support. Jiang Xun took advantage of the chaos to attack Yin Zhou City.
Gu Yan and Chen Qiong followed behind the army with the carriage that held the Imperial Consort Yi.
