Bian Ruohan's mouth was agape, and he didn't know what to say.
Lu Heng said in a low voice, "Do you see it? This is the environment you're living in now. The people in the military camp have to scrimp and save on water, but you want to take a bath? Bian Ruohan, are you born with a silver spoon in your mouth, or are you born extraordinary? What makes you special compared to others? You eat well, live well, and use good things, but you don't do anything. Now you want to take a bath? Believe it or not, I'll throw you into the desert! "
Bian Ruohan trembled all over, not knowing whether it was from fear or from the cold. The weather in March was bitterly cold in the desert. Bian Ruohan had never experienced such hardship before. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak again.
Lu Heng looked at Bian Ruohan and easily recalled the Qin Yining incident.
They couldn't hide from their pursuers and had no choice but to walk into the desert. At the time, Qin Yining was like a heroine, not showing any fear. She was even calmer than a grown man. She was only in her teens at the time. She already had such a temperament. The arrogant Bian Ruohan today was like an immature child compared to the Qin Yining back then.
Such a strong contrast made Lu Heng feel indignant. This marriage wasn't what he wanted, but in the end, it fell on his head. The woman he wanted was probably not fated to be with him in this lifetime.
His family was destroyed, his life wasn't going well, and he was annoyed whenever he saw Bian Ruohan. In addition, he had used all his wealth to fund the Tatan war, and his life was in Si Qin's hands. Under these blows, Lu Heng's patience was almost completely worn out.
"Bian Ruohan." Lu Heng squatted down and grabbed Bian Ruohan's hair, forcing her to look at him.
At this moment, he didn't care how many people were looking at him from behind. He no longer cared about maintaining his image as the head of the family. He gritted his teeth and moved closer to Bian Ruohan with a twisted expression.
"If you know what's good for you, you'd better not cause me any trouble. This is not the time for you to throw a tantrum. If you don't listen, then I can only send you out. "
"Send, send me out?" Bian Ruohan's eyes lit up with hope.
She had had enough! This man didn't have her in his heart. He was always so fierce. In this military camp, she could only stay in the tent. She couldn't go out and have her own requests. As long as she made a request, she would end up like this.
She really didn't know why she had to stay here and suffer.
Seeing Bian Ruohan like this, Lu Heng's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Yeah, I'll send you out. But now the army is pressing down on the border, the Tatan army is routed along the way, Da Zhou's troops and horses are everywhere, to send you back to Da Zhou is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. But here. "Pointing at the deserted desert behind him, Lu Heng's smile became even gentler.
"Here, no one will stop you. I'll bring you money and your favorite jewelry. I'll send you in, okay? "
The anticipation in Bian Ruohan's eyes froze and gradually turned into fear. She shook her head repeatedly, ignoring the fact that her hair was still in Lu Heng's hand. "No, no, I won't make so many requests in the future. You, you don't …"
"Are you scared?" Lu Heng chuckled, his handsome face turning even paler.
Bian Ruohan's eyes widened in fear.
This Lu Heng was like a demon that could eat her alive at any time. She couldn't help but be afraid.
Lu Heng slowly let go of Bian Ruohan's hand and pointed at the desert. "Do you know, that desert. Someone once took the initiative to walk through it. When the pursuers forced them to the point of no return, they would rather die in the desert than become a burden to others. "
Lu Heng's voice became exceptionally gentle, completely different from when he threatened Bian Ruohan.
Although Lu Heng didn't name anyone, Bian Ruohan knew that Lu Heng was talking about Qin Yining.
"In your heart, she's so good. Even if she's thinking about another man, you still treasure her."
"Yes." Lu Heng turned around and sneered. "Even if she stabs me with a knife, I'm willing to do it. As for you, don't even think about comparing yourself to her.
”
"You! But if you don't like me, why did you marry me?! "
"What a joke. If it wasn't for the Emperor's matchmaking, do you think I would have married you?"
Bian Ruohan had already thought about these answers. She just didn't expect that when the truth was revealed, it would be so despairing.
When she thought about how Lu Heng treated her, she even felt that her marriage, her bitter struggle, her desperate struggle to win his favor, her struggle with Qin Yining, and her scheming against Lu Heng, was all a joke.
Bian Ruohan burst into tears. "Lu Heng, you're not human!"
"Don't cry. There's a lot of water here. If you cry too much, you'll run out of water. There won't be enough water for you to drink. "
Bian Ruohan was so angry that her whole body trembled. She covered her face and ran to the tent, crying.
Lu Heng stood at the edge of the slope with his hands behind his back. He took a step back. There were still a few weeds under the snow. He took a step forward. The desert was completely deserted and unchanging.
Whether he went forward or backward, he seemed to have reached a dead end.

The war between the Tatars and the Great Zhou was getting more and more anxious. In the middle of the fourth month, the troops and horses led by Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu had already surrounded the Tatars, completely cutting off the Tatars' capital city's reinforcements, cutting off the entire Tatar army's escape route.
The Tatan people were naturally fierce and good at fighting. Now that they were forced into a dead end, they fought with the determination to die. They were so fierce that it made people gasp in amazement.
The battlefield was filled with the smell of blood. Soldiers were fighting with their lives on the line. They spoke different languages, but the anger in their roars was the same.
Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu sat upright on their horses. They waved their swords and spears and charged into the enemy camp.
Si Qin was wearing grey armor and a red tasseled helmet. He held a Tatan Curved Sword in his hand. He gritted his teeth and led his men straight towards Pang Xiao.
"Come, let me see the power of your Prince Zhongshun, Da Zhou's War God!"
Pang Xiao laughed coldly. He raised his sword and urged his horse forward, fighting with Si Qin.
Ji Zeyu shook the reins and looked around. He could clear away any sneak attacks for Pang Xiao.
In the Tatan camp, Lu Heng, Lu Wenru, and Bian Ruohan were already under the protection of their guards. They planned to take advantage of the chaos to escape.
However, there were footprints of Da Zhou's soldiers everywhere in the camp. This time, it was as if Da Zhou's soldiers had directly stepped into their camp.
The sounds of fighting and killing did not stop. The ground was littered with broken limbs. Bian Ruohan's eyes widened. Despair spread in her heart.
Would she be able to leave this chaotic battlefield alive?
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault!" She cried as she was pulled away by her guards. She could not stop complaining.
