"Xiao Huaijin?" Rida Muzi looked at the person in front of her. Her gaze was uncertain.
"Fei Nu."
Fei Nu appeared behind him. Xiao Jue handed He Yan to him. "Take them down."
Fei Nu supported He Yan. Song Taotao climbed up and followed behind. The two of them arrived at the arena. There were people all around them. Fei Nu asked He Yan, "Can you still hold on?"
He Yan nodded.
"Sit down first." Fei Nu helped her to sit under a tree. "The doctor will be here soon."
"Doctor?" He Yan was puzzled. The Liangzhou Guards only had one female doctor, Shen Muxue. At this moment, she was being stared at by the Qiang soldiers. Beautiful women always attracted attention in the military camp.
She looked up at the arena.
On the arena.
"Didn't you want to spar with me?" Xiao Jue casually drew his sword. His black eyes looked at the person in front of him. He smiled slightly and said, "Go ahead."
Rida Muzi asked, "Are you Xiao Huaijin?"
Xiao Jue smiled. "It's the real deal."
Everyone knew that Da Wei had two famous generals. General Fengyun Xiao Huaijin and General Feihong He Rufei. However, just as He Yan had never fought with the Southern Barbarians, Xiao Jue had never fought with the Western Qiang people. He had heard of his reputation, but it was his first time meeting him face to face.
He had never seen Xiao Jue's real appearance, and the news he had received before was that Xiao Jue had gone to Zhangzhou. It was impossible for him to come back here in the time it took him to travel from Zhangzhou to Liangzhou.
However, the sword in his hand … did not look like an ordinary sword.
Seeing that he did not move, Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows. "Are you afraid?"
Rida Muzi sneered, "You're just putting on an act!" She raised her saber and charged forward.
However, the young man did not move at all. The sword in his hand was so cold and sharp that it was unstoppable. His movement was like a falling flower sweeping across, breaking the curved blade. It was so fast and fierce that it dazzled everyone who saw it. Rida Muzi's morale had already been broken when he fought with He Yan earlier. At this moment, he was even more unable to cope with the situation and was forced to retreat. The Autumn Drinker Sword pierced straight into his chest.
"Commander!" His subordinates cried out in alarm.
Rida Muzi retreated backward. He was not stabbed in the chest by Xiao Jue, but his armor was cut open and he was picked up by the tip of the sword. In an instant, his chest was no longer covered by armor.
"Warriors of Xi Qiang?" Xiao Jue smirked and mocked, "That's all there is to it."
Rida Muzi was burning with anger, but he could tell that he was not Xiao Jue's match from the exchange of blows just now. The Liangzhou Guards were full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. He Yan was one of them just now. How could a new recruit be so capable? Who knew if there were others? There was no need to continue the sparring on the training field. This time, he had suffered a double loss. He had lost two of his favorite generals and his subordinates had seen him in such a sorry state. Now that his morale was low, any further delay would only cause more trouble. His main task was more important.
He turned his head to look below the stage. But … why was there no movement?
The young man elegantly wiped the blade of his sword and looked at him with a faint smile. "What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for the report of the ambush by the Wulu River? "
Rida Muzi was shocked and slowly raised his head.
"Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed." Xiao Jue chuckled. His eyes were indifferent.
"Ke Muzhi!" Rida Muzi quickly retreated and shouted, "Granary! Granary! "
"There's no news." His subordinate's voice carried a hint of panic. "Commander, they're not back yet!"
Xiao Jue was slightly stunned.
Below the stage, someone laughed.
Rida Muzi looked towards the source of the voice and saw the culprit who almost caused her to fall just now. That black-clothed youth called He Yan revealed a pleased smile. Her voice was already very weak and soft, but her words were still so annoying. She said, "Secretly setting fire to other people's granary, this kind of behavior is too despicable. That's why there are archers ready there. Commander, your subordinates won't be able to return."
They were already prepared?!
Rida Muzi suddenly realized that something was wrong. He had prepared early and thought that he could reel in the net now. Little did he know that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. He thought that he was the mantis, but he didn't know that there was an oriole behind.
He had been tricked!
He was afraid that Xiao Jue's trip to Zhangzhou was fake. The Liangzhou Guards' inability to withstand a single blow was also fake. Everything was fake. Everything was to trick them. The spy here had been exposed long ago!
"We've been tricked! Let's go! "He shouted to the people below the stage." There's an ambush by the river! "
Ambush? The soldiers of the Qiang tribe were confused. Weren't the ambush by the river their own people? They wanted to capture all the Liangzhou Guards' recruits in one fell swoop. But what did this mean …
"Since you're here," Xiao Jue looked at him. "Don't leave."
Rida Muzi gritted his teeth and held his scimitar in front of him. At this point, the morale of the Western Qiang tribe was low and they had fallen into a trap. The only thing they could do was fight to the death. However, there was hope as long as he was alive. If he could escape, he would definitely have a chance to make a comeback in the future!
"Warriors!" He raised his scimitar. "Kill them! Kill them all! "
The soldiers behind him all raised their scimitars and started a massacre. They fought with the Liangzhou Guards' recruits. Someone secretly set off a signal. The chimney flew up and exploded in the air.
Rida Muzi turned around, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to escape.
As soon as he turned around, he felt someone press down on his shoulder.
"Want to run?" At this moment, the young commander-in-chief's facial features were stunningly beautiful. However, his smile was indifferent. "Can you run?"
They began to fight.
At this moment, they suddenly heard a deafening sound in front of them. Following the sound, they saw an army rushing over from the direction of the Wulu River. They were all dressed in black armor and black clothes. The person at the front was riding a horse and held a war flag with the word "South" written on it.
"It's the South Prefecture Soldiers! The Nine Flags Battalion! "
"The South Prefecture Soldiers are here!"
He Yan could barely keep her eyes open. To prevent her from being hurt in the chaos, Fei Nu supported her and retreated. He Yan could only take a quick glance.
An endless stream of South Prefecture Soldiers came from the river as if they were endless.
"Reinforcements are here …" Before she fainted, she looked in the direction of Xiao Jue. There was only one thought in her mind.
"So … this was his plan."
This was a tragic war.
Rida Muzi was not stupid enough to only lead a thousand soldiers to provoke the Liangzhou Guards. He only occupied the village closest to the Wulu River and crossed the river overnight to set up an ambush. If the recruits of the Liangzhou Guards could not hold them off and wanted to retreat, they would be like lambs in a tiger's den.
However, man proposes, God disposes. Rida Muzi probably did not expect that when he was "sparring" with others at the training field, the ambush by the Wulu River did not go well. He originally thought that all the recruits were around the training field. However, for some reason, there was a crossbow team hidden in the forest by the Wulu River. When the Qiang people appeared, they fired their arrows. The Qiang people were confused and started to fight with the recruits. Then, Xiao Jue, who was not supposed to return at this time, suddenly appeared and brought ten thousand South Prefecture Soldiers with her.
Ten thousand soldiers of the Southern House against ten thousand Qiang soldiers would not be an easy victory. However, if the Liangzhou Guards recruits were added with high morale and the invincible Nine Flags Battalion, they would be invincible.
The situation that was originally thought to be a sure win was turned around in an instant.
Rida Muzi's trusted subordinates had all died in battle. He knew that he would not be able to escape today and did not want to be a captive. Thus, he slit his own throat and committed suicide.
With the death of their leader, the remaining Qiang soldiers quickly abandoned their armor and fled like rats.
It ended faster than expected.
The training field of the Liangzhou Guards, the foot of Baiyue Mountain, beside the horse path, and by the Wulu River were all corpses. In this battle, the Liangzhou Guards also lost many recruits. The most tragic ones were probably the patrolling soldiers who were secretly killed last night. Next was the crossbowmen by the Wulu River. The Qiang people were the first to clash with them.
The living and lightly injured soldiers helped clean up the battlefield and carried out the corpses of their comrades. The heavily injured were sent to the medical hall and treated by Shen Muxue and her servants.
Xiao Jue walked out with Shen Han following behind her.
"Uncle!" Cheng Lisu was brought over by Chi Wu. She rushed over and said in a frightened voice, "Why are you only back now? You scared me to death. I thought I was going to die here today! "
Before Xiao Jue could say anything, Cheng Lisu saw Shen Han behind Xiao Jue. She thought about how she had suffered at Shen Han's hands a few days ago. Now that her elder was here, she immediately complained, "Uncle! Shen Jiaotou, if it wasn't for Brother He, that Blockhead would have started a massacre in the Liangzhou Guards. Brother He helped us, but in the end, Shen Jiaotou locked him up in the dungeon! It's too unfair! "
"Dungeon?" Xiao Jue glanced at Shen Han. "What happened?"
Shen Han felt a headache coming on. He replied, "… It's a long story. The situation was urgent, so I didn't dare to confirm He Yan's identity."
"You even accused him of murder! In the end? In the end, you captured Brother He and released the real murderer! My big brother has forgiven you and saved you today. You will have to apologize to him later! "
"Enough," Xiao Jue scolded. "Chi Wu, take Cheng Lisu back."
"Eh? Uncle, where are you going? "
"I'm going to change my clothes," Xiao Jue ignored him and said to Shen Han, "Follow me. I have something to ask you."
He had rushed back in a hurry. He had not slept or rested. He had just experienced a fierce battle, so his body was covered in blood and dust. As soon as he returned to his room, he quickly bathed and changed into a clean set of clothes. Just as he walked out, he bumped into a young man in white.
This young man was about the same age as Xiao Jue. He had delicate features and a gentle demeanor. He always had a smile on his face. His clothes were embroidered with a red-crowned crane playing in the water. In the middle of winter, he held a folding fan and waved it gently. He did not mind the cold at all.
When he saw Xiao Jue, he smiled and said, "Are you injured? Do you want me to take a look? "
Xiao Jue raised her hand to stop him. "There's no need. There's a dying man next door. Take a look at that one."
"Oh?" The young man looked at the room next door and revealed an unwilling expression. "I, the White Divine Physician Lin Shuanghe, have only ever treated women. You are already an exception. We haven't seen each other for a few years. You want me to break the rules as soon as you arrive. Now you even want me to treat your soldiers? How am I any different from those doctors on the streets? "
Xiao Jue asked, "Are you going or not?"
Lin Shuanghe opened his fan with a "shua" sound and said reservedly, "Let's go."
Shen Han heard this and was surprised. This gentle young man was actually the White Divine Physician Lin Shuanghe? Lin Shuanghe treated He Yan? If that was the case, then the relationship between He Yan and Xiao Jue was not ordinary. Thinking about how he had locked He Yan up in the dungeon, Shen Han could not help but have a headache.
This time he had really poked a hornet's nest!
The few of them went to He Yan's room together. Inside, Song Taotao was sitting in front of the bed and wiping He Yan's sweat. He Yan still hadn't woken up. The mattress under his body was dyed red with blood. No one knew where he was hurt. Song Taotao wanted to help, but in the end, she didn't dare to act rashly. Shen Muxue was treating the seriously ill in the clinic and couldn't leave. Seeing Xiao Jue bring a young man over, she immediately said happily, "Second Young Master Xiao!"
"The doctor is here." Xiao Jue said, "You can leave."
Song Taotao looked at Lin Shuanghe and was stunned for a moment. "Young Master Lin?"
Shuo Jing was not small, but it was not big either. Song Ci and Lin Shuanghe's father knew each other. They had met before and could be considered old acquaintances.
"Miss Song, long time no see." Lin Shuanghe waved his fan. "I'm here to treat this little brother."
"But you aren't, aren't you …" Song Taotao hesitated.
"It's true that I only treat women." Lin Shuanghe sighed. "But I was entrusted by someone, so I'll make an exception. This is the only time, and it won't happen again."
Song Taotao still wanted to say something, but Xiao Jue said to her, "Miss Song, if you have nothing else to say, please leave so as not to delay the doctor's treatment."
"… Okay." The little girl got up and left. Xiao Jue closed the door behind her. Song Taotao looked at the closed door and suddenly realized something. Wasn't Xiao Jue still inside? How could he not delay the doctor's treatment if he was inside?
How could it be like this!
In the room, Lin Shuanghe walked to He Yan's bed and put his suitcase on the small table. As he opened the suitcase, he said, "What is this brother's background? How could he live next to you? Is he very skilled? He looks a little thin. "
Xiao Jue said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Lin Shuanghe disagreed. "You didn't have to ask Miss Song to leave just now. It seems that she likes this brother very much. Even if she were to watch from the side, she wouldn't be in the way. Why did you have to ask her to leave and make her anxious outside? "
Xiao Jue was speechless for a moment. "You think too much. I asked her to leave because I didn't want to scare you."
"Scare me?" Lin Shuanghe asked curiously. "Why would I be scared? It's not like it's a difficult disease. "As he said this, he reached out to take off He Yan's clothes.
Xiao Jue stopped his arm.
Lin Shuanghe raised his head. "What?"
"Take his pulse first."
"He's injured? What pulse? I know what's wrong with one look. I have to bandage the wound first! "
Xiao Jue glanced at him. "I said take his pulse first."
"Xiao Huaijin, what's wrong with you now?" Lin Shuanghe was confused. "Are you going to control how I practice medicine now?"
"Are you going to do it or not?"
"Take it, take it, take it!" Lin Shuanghe was suppressed by Xiao Jue's gaze and had to take He Yan's pulse. As soon as he felt the pulse, his expression changed. At first, he couldn't believe his own feelings, so he checked twice. Finally, he looked at Xiao Jue. "She's …"
Xiao Jue raised her eyebrows. "That's right."
Lin Shuanghe jumped up. "Xiao Jue! You're keeping a mistress in your house! "
Xiao Jue frowned and looked outside. "You're so loud. Are you afraid that not enough people know?"
"Others don't know. Who knows now?" Lin Shuanghe asked in a low voice.
"It's just the two of us. Fei Nu."
"This little sister is not bad." Lin Shuanghe was used to calling all the girls "little sisters". He looked at He Yan in a different light. "I was wondering why you let her live next door. It turns out that you have an ulterior motive. What's the relationship between you two? We haven't seen each other for so long. You finally have a girl you like? Why didn't you tell me? Where is she from? Why did she come to the Liangzhou Guards? It must be because of you, right? You too. Of course a girl needs to be hurt. You sent her to such a remote place to suffer. Are you even human? "
Xiao Jue couldn't take it anymore. "Are you done? If you say more, she'll stop breathing. "
"How can you curse a little girl like that?" Lin Shuanghe scolded him. "Come here and help me take off her clothes. Find a piece of cloth to cover the rest of her body. Only her waist is exposed."
Xiao Jue almost thought that he had misheard. "What did you say?"
"Come and help. Although the doctor doesn't have parents, I wouldn't care so much if she was just an ordinary girl. But she's your person. Of course you have to take it off. Otherwise, if something goes wrong in the future, you'll hate me and cause trouble for me. "
"What do you mean she's my person?" Xiao Jue's veins throbbed. "I have nothing to do with her."
"You're living together. What do you mean you have nothing to do with her? Since you already know her identity, you must have a close relationship. Hurry up. I just checked her pulse. Her condition isn't good. She's very weak. "Lin Shuanghe urged him." I'll clean her wound with hot water first. Her wound is on her waist. "
Xiao Jue thought about the blood on his hand when he helped He Yan up. He took a deep breath and walked to He Yan's side. After washing his hands, he slowly undid He Yan's clothes.
He turned his head and looked at the other side. He didn't look at He Yan. Even so, he couldn't avoid touching He Yan's body. The skin under his hand was delicate and smooth. It was completely different from the skin of the men in the military camp. It was also at this moment that he seemed to realize that He Yan was indeed a girl.
This person was usually lively and lively. She called the Liangzhou Guards brothers. She also had a straightforward personality. She was even better than the men. Over time, even though he knew she was a girl, he still treated her like a man.
His mind flashed back to that night when he discovered He Yan's identity as a girl at the county magistrate's manor in Liangzhou City. Yin Qiu had cut up his clothes. At that moment, he realized that the body that usually looked strong and unparalleled was actually covered with such white skin.
It was so fragile that it couldn't withstand a single blow.
He pulled a thin blanket from the side and wrapped He Yan's upper body in it. He reached out to untie her belt. As soon as he started, he was surprised. He Yan's belt was a bit too tight. Was it because girls like to be beautiful? Looking at this person's usual behavior, it was impossible.
He untied the belt and instantly felt his palms become wet. He Yan's mattress was stained red. Lin Shuanghe also stopped joking. He reached out to check and was stunned. He said solemnly, "She has a knife on her body."
Xiao Jue asked, "What?"
Lin Shuanghe took out small golden pliers and silver needles from the box. He used the pliers to gently probe inside. On the mattress, He Yan furrowed her brows. She seemed to be awakened by the pain, but in the end, she didn't wake up.
The pliers carefully pulled out a thin blade from the wound on her waist.
Xiao Jue's eyebrows twitched.
Lin Shuanghe said, half ruefully and half admiringly, "This little sister is really strong!"
Xiao Jue looked at the blade that had been thrown into the plate. It was thin and sharp. She always carried this thing on the martial arts stage? When did she get it? Did she stab it when Rida Muzi fought with her? Or did she stab it before that? If it was before that, in the previous two matches, every time He Yan fought with someone, the blade would pierce deeper. It was as if she was cutting her own flesh. The pain was indescribable. If a normal man couldn't endure it, how could He Yan endure it? Xiao Jue still remembered that when she arrived, the young man's face was even smiling. She couldn't tell that there was anything wrong. He had fooled everyone.
Liars were used to putting on an act, but if she had to lie to herself, she would be a little pitiful.
"What's the background of this girl?" Lin Shuanghe asked Xiao Jue as he cleaned He Yan's wound.
"The daughter of the Gate Commandant."
"The Gate Commandant?" Lin Shuanghe's hands paused. "Why is she here? Because of you? "
"You're thinking too much," Xiao Jue sneered. "To build a career."
"What?"
"She said it herself." Xiao Jue looked out of the window.
Lin Shuanghe mulled over her words for a while, but he still couldn't figure out what she meant. He said, "This girl is really amazing. She can endure things that normal people can't. I've been a doctor for so many years and have treated countless women, but this is the first time I've seen someone like her."
Lin Shuanghe took out a clean white cloth and bandaged He Yan's wound. His heart was filled with emotions. The number of women he had treated in Shuo City was uncountable, and there were all kinds of strange illnesses. Some thought that the birthmark on their forehead was ugly and asked him to remove it. Some were weak since they were in their mother's womb and asked him to prescribe them to nourish their bodies. Some were married for many years without children and asked him to prescribe them. Some were not favored by their husbands and asked him to create some nourishing recipes to nourish their skin.
Those who could afford to hire him were mostly women from wealthy families. They had never suffered in terms of their bodies. Therefore, he was used to seeing the rich and powerful in the world. The scar-ridden dog's tail grass was especially special.
"What's your relationship with her?" He asked.
Xiao Jue said, "We have no relationship."
"If you didn't have a relationship, would you take care of her like this? Even I am being ordered around by you. "Lin Shuanghe shook his head and said," Forget it. What do you plan to do with her in the future? "
"Deal with her?"
"Don't think that just because she's wearing your recruit's uniform, she's really your recruit. I think she's a pretty girl, but look at how she's been tortured. You can't let her stay in your camp as a recruit forever, right? Why don't you send her to Shen Muxue and let her be Shen Muxue's assistant? She can stay by your side and won't have to go to those dangerous places. This girl is weak and delicate. She should be taken care of in the house. You're good. You're ruthless. You're ruthless. "
"Weak?" Xiao Jue was amused by his words. She smiled and said slowly, "Before I rushed back, she had just chopped off the heads of two Xi Qiang people."
Lin Shuanghe was speechless.
"If I came back a little later, she would have chopped off the third one."
Lin Shuanghe's hand that was bandaging her wound trembled. After a while, he laughed and said, "… Then it's really true that the real person doesn't show off. Hahaha."
