CHAPTER 1111: 1189: ALSO A PERSON WITH A STORY

Dong Huiying looked at the unkempt Hong Fei, her face full of disapproval.

"Starting today, alcohol is forbidden, return to normal routines, this is an order! If you defy the order, you will be dealt with according to military law!!"

Hong Fei was startled for a moment, then this robust, stout woman, standing over 1.8 meters tall, surprisingly appeared like a little quail, trembling as she said, "General, I, I have erred!"

Dong Huiying felt some sympathy for her, but excessive drinking really cannot be tolerated. "If you continue like this, your body will collapse, and furthermore, you drink yourself silly every day, who knows which day you’ll suffer from alcohol poisoning. Alcohol, tiny drinks can bring joy, big ones harm the body. An occasional hangover might be tolerable, but being drunk every day and night, do you still want your body?"

"Your body, skin, and hair are received from your parents, just consider me meddling, but in any case, you must not touch alcohol again!!"

When Dong Huiying mentioned "body, skin, and hair received from parents," Hong Fei froze for a moment, and then some gloom flashed across her face.

Dong Huiying attentively observed Hong Fei’s expression, thinking to herself, it seems Hong Fei is also someone with a story.

Hong Fei wiped her face, then laughed bitterly, "Received from parents? Whatever debt owed them, I have repaid long ago."

Hong Fei recalled past events, why were they called "Ghosts"?

The General originally rescued over 200,000 people from Dajin’s massacre pit, they were grateful for the General’s life-saving grace, and sworn to be loyal only to the General for life, becoming the sharpest blade in the General’s hand.

But, during wars over the years, those people died off until the General’s departure from the Capital, the Imperial Court coup, and the rivalry between eight or nine factions.

They feigned death, becoming "Ghosts," because they already had no attachments, because these "Ghosts," apart from the General, had nothing else they couldn’t bear to part with.

No father, no mother. They were orphans, raised by the Imperial Court. As adults, she once searched for her relatives, wanting to know why her family abandoned her.

Later, she indeed found them, but was very disappointed. Allegedly when she was very young, falling ill made her family abandon her, and when she went back home, those people saw her achievements and shamelessly tried to ingratiate themselves.

Perhaps she lacked love since childhood, she forgave her parents for abandoning her back then, yet later, when the Eighth Princess aimed to purge those who had followed the General but refused submission, at the most desperate moment, she once tried to escape, but her family betrayed her.

Afraid of being implicated, they betrayed her, causing her to be captured.

As a result, regarding those so-called family members, her heart grew cold.

In short, these Eighty Thousand Souls were solitary, left only with full fervor and loyalty, solely for the General.

Dong Huiying gazed at Hong Fei for a while, then asked, "Regarding Luo Yang and Gao Jian, what do you think about their matter?"

Hong Fei was taken aback, then a trace of gloom crossed her face. It seems the General already knows?

She knelt down with a bang, her right fist thumping heavily on her left chest. "Subordinate knows wrong! Fallen into this predicament over such matters of affection, even burdening the General with worrying for the subordinate, subordinate deserves a thousand deaths!"

Dong Huiying, bewildered, said, "We are talking about your feelings now, what does that have to do with life or death? Get up already?"
