They couldn't go back to the Longcheng camp because the tiger tally was in Liu Jin's hands. If they went back, Liu Jin would turn the tables on them. The few thousand of them were nothing. So they found a place to camp and discussed what to do next.
GongYimo was the only woman here. She lived alone in a tent.
Bai Ji also asked the military doctor to check on her. He said that she was in a coma because of poison. It seemed that she hadn't eaten for a long time. She was very weak. There were no fatal injuries. She might wake up in a few days.
Bai Qiyou twisted the handkerchief with water and gently wiped GongYimo's face. His movements were so careful as if he was afraid of hurting her.
He couldn't imagine that a woman like her, in front of tens of thousands of people, would be able to tell them to leave without batting an eyelid. He didn't know how she managed to escape, but when he saw her fainted under the tree, he knew that it wouldn't have been easy. Later on, when there were pursuers, she still told him to leave first to get help. For the first time in his life, he felt that he was so useless!
He called himself a man in vain. His father had told him when he was young that a man should have an indomitable spirit and should not run away in the face of battle. But tonight, he had violated both of those commandments. He was ashamed. He remembered clearly in his mind that when she used her inner strength to push him away, her red sleeves fluttering in the wind.
The sleeves were stained with blood. It should represent evil. But in his eyes, it was more holy than the white veil. It was more seductive …
Bai Qiyou's hand tightened. He couldn't remove the handkerchief on GongYimo's face. He didn't dare to look at that face again. When he looked at that face, he couldn't move his eyes away. He wanted to sink into it!
So he could only look at her waist that was wrapped hastily. Because of her last counterattack, her waist was once again badly mutilated. Bai Qiyou suddenly felt heartache. How could he feel heartache for a woman?
He didn't dare to think about it anymore. He quickly shook his head. He used a pair of scissors to cut the cloth on her waist and then carefully untied it. Sure enough, blood was still flowing. It was bright red, and it was a sharp contrast with her snow-white skin!
Bai Qiyou's eyebrows jumped. He suddenly felt that it was a mistake to bandage her because it tested his willpower too much!
But now, he was even more unwilling to let others bandage GongYimo. So he chanted the Clear Heart Mantra in his heart while bandaging her. When he was done, his serious face was covered with sweat. It was as if he had just fought a tough battle!
He was ready to leave after bandaging her, but GongYimo suddenly mumbled and then grabbed his hand.
Bai Qiyou's heart was not pure to begin with. With her taking the initiative, he only felt that the hand she was holding was burning. But when he wanted to pull his hand away, he … couldn't. Only he knew how much strength a person in a coma had.
.....................................
This kitten-like voice caused Bai Qiyou's serious expression to crack. His face turned red again. Even he didn't know what he was embarrassed about! . He must leave. If he stayed any longer, he would feel weird!
But this time, GongYimo really used some strength. She pulled him.
"Don't go … I'm in pain …"
She felt wronged. Even in her sleep, she pursed her lips as if she was going to cry.
Bai Qiyou's heart softened. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. But he still sat back.
You only feel pain now? What were you doing earlier? Weren't you very fierce and domineering? You even said that you wanted to show me what it means to be a woman who is not inferior to a man?
Bai Qiyou suddenly pursed his lips and smiled. How could those women who were not inferior to a man be compared to her?
Thinking of this, he was suddenly shocked. He didn't understand why his feelings had changed. Why … did he suddenly feel that he didn't hate women?
The next day, GongYimo woke up. She saw Bai Qiyou beside her bed. She was shocked!
"You're awake?"
His voice was a little hoarse. His eyes were red. The bandage on the wound on his face was removed. The wound was beginning to scab.
GongYimo looked at him puzzledly. "You watched over me for the whole night?"
She was really flattered. Didn't this guy see women as poisonous? But when she thought of how she was injured because of their Bai family, she felt at ease.
Bai Qiyou didn't answer her question. Seeing that GongYimo still couldn't move, he went out to get water for her to wash up. When she was washing up, Bai Qiyou went to bring breakfast. He was so considerate. GongYimo was stunned. Did this guy really become a slave?
GongYimo was puzzled. She drank some porridge and lay down again. After a while, two people came in.
Wen Yutian and Chang Zaide were a little embarrassed. After all, GongYimo was a beautiful girl. She was still recovering. It was not appropriate for them to come in!
But the situation was critical now. They couldn't care less.
They bowed and introduced themselves. Then, the two of them went straight to the point.
"Now that Longcheng camp is controlled by Liu Jin, we have discussed a few countermeasures. Please help us."
GongYimo nodded. She knew that the two of them were just trying to find a doctor in a desperate situation. After all, they didn't have many people now. Bai Ji was still unconscious. They felt helpless. And she had the highest status here. Naturally, they had to give her some face.
But GongYimo didn't agree with their plan. Because the chance of winning was too small. Bai Ji was unconscious. They couldn't even find out the whereabouts of the other half of the tiger tally, let alone fight back.
"Then what is your opinion, Princess?"
Chang Zaide humbly asked for advice. His attitude was very sincere.
GongYimo thought for a while. "Let's wait for two days. If Liu Jin comes in these two days, we will hide. First, I need to rest and recover. Second, we will see if General Bai can wake up …"
GongYimo said and coughed a few times. Her body was indeed very weak.
"… If General Bai can't wake up, I will borrow soldiers when I get better."
"Borrow soldiers?" Wen Tiantian glared. He looked very fierce. His voice was also very loud. When he spoke, it was like a large bell. "At this border, other than our Longcheng camp, who else has soldiers?"
Even if there were, those people were just ants trying to shake a tree!
GongYimo laughed softly. Her face was pale. But when she spoke, she had a calm and confident demeanor.
"You also said that this is the border. Longcheng camp is the garrison of Dai Yu state. Further north, isn't there Yu Qi's garrison?"
"You … you you …!"
Wen Tiantian didn't know what to say. Bai Qiyou and Chang Zaide were also shocked. They felt that her words were no less than a fairy tale!
Borrow soldiers from Yu Qi?
GongYimo seemed to have a well-thought-out plan. She comforted them. "Where there is a will, there is a way. Since I dared to say this to Yu Qi, they naturally have some confidence in me. Other than that, do you have any better ideas?"
