The man's voice was hoarse, and his face was full of surprise, but he still lowered his voice with great restraint.
"General! Have the border guards come in?!" He was a little anxious, "There is gunpowder in the city. Is everyone okay?"
Qin Rushuang didn't have time to elaborate with them, so she just said, "Qian Ertong was caught by them and was tortured. Two people came to help me carry him in in the yard!"
"I have figured out the direction of the gunpowder and mechanisms in the city, and have passed the news to the prince. You guys wait here with me until all those people are arrested before coming out!"
After Qin Rushuang's reminder, everyone discovered that Qin Rushuang was wearing the clothes of a Dayan woman.
If you look closely, you will see that her appearance has also changed a lot. It seems that in order to save them, a person lurked in.
After dragging Qian Ertong to the cellar, Qin Rushuang touched Qian Ertong's forehead again. It was already extremely hot.
She ordered the two soldiers: "Is there any water? Find some water to cool him down! We can't let the burning continue like this. People will be burned to death tomorrow!"
The soldiers were also anxious, and two of them even had red eyes.
On the day of the incident, they were almost completely wiped out by the gunpowder explosion, and only a few of them were left, barely surviving.
They had no chance to escape, so their first thought was to protect the people around the general, so they all wanted to cover Qian Ertong's escape.
But although Qian Ertong was scared at that time, he was very clear in his heart.
He knew what kind of hellish torture awaited these soldiers if they were captured, and he could reveal his identity, and maybe these women would use him as a bargaining chip to let him live a few more days.
He was extremely determined, as long as he lived, the lady would definitely come to save him!
So when life and death were at stake, the soldiers watched helplessly as Qian Ertong gave up the chance to escape and used himself as bait to lure the women to catch him.
And they, under the cover of Qian Ertong, hid in the cellar and eked out a living.
During these few days in the cellar, their moods were extremely torturous. They were sad, anxious, and even... guilty.
Yes, guilty.
When the general took over the border guarding army and sent a merchant from the Chamber of Commerce to manage military supplies and logistics, they were all very unconvinced.
Although they were just logistics soldiers, they were also tough men and did not want a businessman to lead them. Even before that day, they only regarded Qian Ertong as a popular person next to the general, who could only flatter him.
That kind of.
However, it wasn't until the real moment of life and death that Qian Ertong's bravery burst out, making them feel that they had misunderstood others.
Even among the soldiers in the military camp, in such a life-and-death situation, how many of them can be as clear-headed and brave as Qian Ertong, who is willing to risk their lives for a chance in exchange for their escape?
Being captured...that would be more painful than death!
It's because they underestimated Qian Ertong.
But their anxiety and regret can only be hidden in their hearts.
There are so few of them that it would be impossible to rescue Qian Ertong!
We can only cherish this life saved by Qian Ertong, and wait until the day when the army rescues him, and then thank Qian Ertong properly.
After Qin Rushuang heard what they said, she had mixed feelings in her heart.
Qian Ertong's bravery and decisiveness surprised her.
At the beginning, she decided to let Qian Ertong manage military supplies and logistics. She really just didn't want to let others control the food and grass matters, and didn't want others to pinch the lifeblood of her march.
But she didn't expect that Qian Ertong would do everything she arranged under such great pressure and being squeezed out by the people around him.
Even at such a critical moment, the lives of these border soldiers were saved.
If in the past she only regarded Qian Ertong as an important person around her and her right-hand man, then now...
She should probably regard Qian Ertong as a member of the border guard army.
He is also considered a soldier.
As time passed by, the sound of fighting came from the city, accompanied by rumbling sounds from time to time, which should be the sound of gunpowder or a mechanism being triggered.
Qin Rushuang was worried. She was afraid that the soldiers of the border guard had violated the agency. She was also worried about whether the picture she drew was correct.
But she can't do anything now.
She could only wait, she had to stay by Qian Ertong's side and not put Qian Ertong in danger again.
This night is destined to be extremely long.
It was not until the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone in the city that the noise outside finally subsided.
The soldiers on the side were even a little in disbelief, "General... is it over? Can we go back...?"
Qin Rushuang's worried heart was half relieved. She nodded to the soldier, "You guys are optimistic about Qian Ertong. I'll go out and check the situation."
The soldier stood up quickly and said, "General, why don't I go? How can I let you risk it?"
Qin Rushuang waved her hand, "You guys have been hungry for several days, how can you still have the strength? Just stay here, I will be back soon."
Qin Rushuang carefully walked out of the courtyard. The street was very quiet.
After a while, the sound of footsteps was heard, and Qin Rushuang hid behind the door vigilantly. Until she saw the soldiers of the border guard, the other half of her heart dropped.
"I'm here!"
The soldier suddenly raised his head: "Princess! Great! Your Majesty is sending us door to door to find your hiding place! Those Dayan women are tough. No matter how we ask, they will not reveal your whereabouts!"
Qin Rushuang was stunned for a moment.
They didn't say it probably because their bones were hard...
They really didn't know where they were going.
The situation was urgent at that time, and the leading woman only ordered the money to be hidden. She herself did not say where to hide it.
Qin Rushuang said to the soldier, "Go and tell the prince quickly that Qian Ertong has been seriously injured and ask him to send a military doctor over. He has a high fever and is unable to move."
The soldier left the rest of the people around the courtyard to guard him while he rushed to tell Xie Xun the news.
When Xie Xun learned that both Qian Ertong and Qin Rushuang were safe, he felt relieved and quickly called the military doctor.
In order to take care of Qian Ertong's safety, he always carried the military doctor with him.
The military doctor went to the courtyard where Qian Ertong was located and followed the instructions all the way to the cellar.
As soon as he saw the environment in the cellar, he frowned and said, "Hurry up and move the person to a clean and ventilated place! The cellar is not breathable, and the air is turbid and humid, which is very harmful to the wound!"
When the military doctor saw the injury on Qian Ertong's leg, he took a deep breath and was speechless for a long time.
After a while he said: "This man... is a man."
After handing Qian Ertong to the military doctor, Qin Rushuang did not relax even a moment.
She knew that Qian Ertong's injury was very urgent and it was best to treat him as soon as possible. It wasn't that she didn't trust the military doctors, but she believed in Mu Duo more.
She called Ying Er and ordered: "Hurry up and pick up Mu Duo. I'm afraid Qian Ertong's condition may change."
Ying Er didn't ask any questions and immediately took the order and left.
Xie Xun, who was on the side, never took his eyes away from Qin Rushuang from the moment he saw Qin Rushuang.
She has lost weight, her face is haggard, and her eyes are black and blue. She must have suffered a lot these past few days...
Xie Xun saw that she felt distressed because of Qian Ertong's injury again. The feeling of pity in his heart finally turned into anger and was directed at the Dayan woman.
"I have found the woman who hurt Qian Ertong, what do you want to do with her?"
