Chapter 748 - 745: Urgent_1
Six years ago, Xiliang attacked the border of Jin Kingdom. General Zhou Buhui of the Bai family’s army led the troops under the order of Bai Qingyan’s grandfather to provide reinforcements. Bai Qingyan’s father, Bai Qishan, intended to train Xiao Ruohai and sent him along. Xiao Ruohai’s master, Shen Bozhong, worried about his apprentice’s first time in battle, requested to accompany them.
Later, Xiao Ruohai recklessly advanced in several skirmishes, seeking to earn merits, causing General Zhou Buhui to be hit by a poisoned arrow from Xiliang. On the night before the great battle, Shen Bozhong left the camp in secret to find an antidote for General Zhou Buhui and never returned. Everyone believed he went to the Xiliang camp to fetch the antidote and was killed.
In that battle, if Bai Qingyan’s father, Bai Qishan, had not arrived the next day with reinforcements of the Bai family army to take command, the outcome of the battle would have been uncertain.
Xiao Ruohai nearly lost his life under the enemy’s blade. To save Xiao Ruohai, Bai Qishan also took a sword blow from the enemy general on his shoulder.
Xiao Ruohai felt guilty about this matter to this day. He always believed that if he had not been reckless back then, General Zhou Buhui would not have been hit by the poisoned arrow, his master would not have gone looking for the antidote, the troops would not have panicked when the commander fell, nor would Bai Qishan have taken the blow to save him.
Bai Qingyan, coming back to her senses, stared at Li Mingrui. She knew Shen Qingzhu was eager to see her master, so she said, "Bring the old man here. I won’t take his life. I’m just very interested in his martial arts."
"I’m afraid the Princess of Zhen might be disappointed." Li Mingrui tightly covered his wound. "The old man, injured while saving my mother and me, has lost his memory and can’t answer the Princess’ questions."
So, he did lose his memory...
