When Yang Yun opened his eyes, it was already dark . His eyes swept across the room and stopped when he saw a familiar silhouette across him, leaning on the chair, watching intently .

His first thought was that he must be dreaming . He fell into a daze and shut his eyes . When he opened his eyes again, the person was still there, watching him . It looks like he wasn't dreaming .

"You're awake . "

Yang Yun tried to sit up and groaned when his body ached all over . "Why are you here?" His voice was hoarse .

The young general stood up and poured a cup of water before he handed it to Yang Yun . "My sister wants to know when you wake up . "

He leaned on the bed and accepted the cup from the General . He drank the water slowly as he tried to process what was happening to him .

He was on a rescue mission to save the Minister of Personal's son and a few other merchants . They almost succeed to sneak the captives out when one of the bandits noticed them .

A fight broke out between his team and the bandits . During this fight, to save one of his teammates, he slipped on the slippery ground and fell down the cliff . He didn't know what happened after .

Yang Yun looked up to the General again . "Mingyue is here?"

Xiao Xian answered him with a nod .

Yang Yun grimaced . He knew that Mingyue would be worried when she heard the news that he was injured . "How long have I been unconscious?"

"Two days . " Xiao Xian took a seat on the chair again . He watched Yang Yun in silence as if assessing him . "I send you on a rescue mission, not to annihilate the bandits," he spoke .

"We have no choice," Yang Yun said . He unconsciously clenched his hand into a fist . "There were too many of them . If we didn't fight them, the captives might not be able to escape safely . "

"Vice Fei Liu already explained everything to me," the young general said . "But I still think that what you and your team did in the mountain was reckless . "

Yang Yun opened his mouth and bit his lips when no words came out .

He should have expected that the General's Vice would have reported everything to him . After all, Vice Fei Liu did tag along to monitor his team . He does admit that some of his decisions during the rescue mission were a bit reckless .

"I should congratulate you for rescuing the Minister's son . His Majesty was happy to hear that the mountain bandits won't be causing any misdeed for the time being . "

Yang Yun stared at the man in front of him . Even though the General was congratulating him, it doesn't feel like he was happy .

Jiang Xiao Xian stood up and walked towards the bed . He lifted his hand and patted Yang Yun on his head . "I'm glad that you and everyone else returned alive . "

Then, he turned around and exited the tent, leaving Yang Yun dumbfounded .

To have the General treating him kindly like this was too strange .
