In the Forbidden Army's camp, inside Zhao Junchen's tent, Xu Qingyan's body was red, swollen and hot. He was lying unconscious on the bed, but he was still moaning in a low voice. His head, neck, shoulders, etc. were all tied with bleeding white cloth.
Zhao Junchen stood in front of Xu Qingyan's bed, looking at Xu Qingyan's appearance, his face seemed cold and solemn, and his expression seemed dull.
At the same time, a general of the Forbidden Army who participated in the previous kidnapping plan was softly explaining to Zhao Junchen the whole story of Xu Qingyan's injury and coma.
"... After hearing that He Yu was about to instigate the Hujiazhuang farmers, Brother Xu quickly led people into the room to control the situation, but no one expected that He Yu's injuries had already improved, and he had been pretending to be himself.
His legs and feet were still inconvenient, and the wooden house was extremely cramped, with no room for escape. So He Yu suddenly attacked, and Brother Xu was caught by him...
...but Brother Xu was extremely brave at that time and directly hit He Yu's nose with the back of his head. However, He Yu is also a brave man. Although he was caught off guard and was hit by Brother Xu, he still managed to fight with his remaining strength and use his hands.
Mu Zhu stabbed Brother Xu several times in succession, causing serious injuries to Brother Xu's face, shoulders, and neck...
...And wait until early this morning, when Brother Xu saw the Forbidden Army soldiers rushing into the dense forest, he knew that your cabinet minister had begun to implement the backup plan. He had to disguise himself as a fellow Forbidden Army soldier who had just rushed into the dense forest as soon as possible...
...But he was worried that the blood scab on his body had begun to condense and the people in Liaodong Town would see the flaw, so he directly tore off all the blood scab on the wound with his hands, causing the wounds to bleed profusely again, pretending to be
New injuries, and then explained to the people in Liaodong Town that these wounds were caused by accidentally falling into a trap when he and the Forbidden Army soldiers rushed into the dense forest...
... However, Brother Xu's injuries were already serious. After tearing off all the blood scabs this time, his vitality was severely damaged, and the injuries were aggravated again. Although the people from Liaodong Town were successfully transported to the lake, it was still very difficult.
He quickly developed a high fever, and his wounds also showed signs of suppuration. He fell into a coma not long after leaving the dense forest..."
As he spoke, the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army had an expression full of admiration. He felt that Xu Qingyan's tenacity and bravery were far stronger than those of ordinary soldiers.
Whether it was resisting without fear of death after being held hostage by He Yu, or tearing off the blood scab from the wound with his own hands in order to cover up the flaws, these things are not something ordinary people have the courage to do.
Not only the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, but also all the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army who participated in the kidnapping plan were convinced of Xu Qingyan after witnessing this series of events with his own eyes.
After saying all these things, the Forbidden Army soldier suddenly knelt down beside Zhao Junchen, lowered his head and sobbed and apologized: "The low-level people and others did not do things well. Not only did they almost allow He Yu to escape, but also affected Zhao Junchen's plans, and they did not
We are able to protect Brother Xu, but all this is due to the incompetence of others such as those in humble positions, so please punish me, Minister Zhao!"
After Zhao Junchen was silent for a long time, he said slowly: "Get up, you don't need to apologize at all. You are not responsible for this series of things! If you insist on talking about it, being held hostage by He Yu and allowing He Yu to find an opportunity to escape, all
It's because Xu Qingyan is responsible for his own lack of thinking... And Xu Qingyan's current injury and coma is all because I have been pushing him too hard and too hard..."
At this point, Zhao Junchen's tone finally fluctuated. He seemed to have a hint of self-blame, but he seemed to be commenting calmly. He continued: "I have always hoped that Xu Qingyan can become my right-hand man. He is my right-hand man."
The general acquaintance has been with me since he was a child, and he is the person we trust the most. If his ability and scheming grow, we will naturally be able to relax a lot...
Because of this idea, we have been trying to force him to grow up as quickly as possible, putting him under too much pressure! Especially this time, we have actually prepared many back-ups in advance, just to prevent the occurrence of the plan.
However, I did not tell Xu Qingyan these back-up plans. Instead, I emphasized to him many times that the mission he performed was the key to the success or failure of this series of our plans. If he failed in the mission, we would not be able to leave Liaodong Town alive.
…
Therefore, when he saw that his mission might fail, he fell into madness and completely forgot about his own life and death! That's why he fought with He Yu desperately, so he didn't care about himself
His injuries are all caused by this pavilion. If anything happens to him next, it will be entirely my fault!"
These words seemed to be addressed to the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, and they seemed to be spoken to himself.
After saying that, Zhao Junchen closed his eyes, and finally he couldn't help but a hint of pain flashed through his expression.
After experiencing this series of events, Xu Qingyan will most likely break through, become completely mature, and his mind and means will be greatly improved, becoming Zhao Junchen's real right-hand man.
From this aspect, Zhao Junchen's idea of catalyzing Xu Qingyan's growth can be considered a successful realization.
But the premise is...Xu Qingyan can survive by chance and successfully survive the disaster in front of him!
In this era, there were neither anti-inflammatories nor medicinal disinfectants. Suppuration and inflammation of wounds was by no means a trivial matter, and the mortality rate was extremely high.
Under such circumstances, Xu Qingyan is more likely to die directly from the wound and inflammation than to survive and grow rapidly.
As long as you are human, you will have feelings, even Zhao Junchen is no exception.
Since coming to this era, the relationship between Zhao Junchen and Xu Qingyan is undoubtedly the deepest.
This kind of feeling is not only friendship, but also includes a part of family affection. Only in front of Xu Qingyan, Zhao Junchen's mentality is the most relaxed, and he can take off part of his mask and guard a little.
Seeing Xu Qingyan lying unconscious on the bed still moaning softly, obviously in extreme pain, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but feel regretful.
He would rather Xu Qingyan not grow up at all and still be a pure incompetent villain as before, rather than Xu Qingyan risking his life and enduring great pain just to become what he expected.
But now, it is useless to talk about these things.
There are only two things that Zhao Junchen can do now. One is to try his best to save Xu Qingyan, and the other is... to sleep and rest.
It had been three days since those Liaodong cavalry launched the mutiny. Zhao Junchen had hardly had any rest, not even a chance to sleep. Now he was also on the verge of reaching his limit, his mind was dizzy, and his body would feel exhausted from time to time.
Zhao Junchen now really wants to stay with Xu Qingyan and take care of him personally. Even if he can't play any role, he can still feel at ease... but he knows very well that he can't do this.
Wu Yingxiong will appear on the stage soon. Zhao Junchen must keep a clear head and sufficient energy to continue to promote his plan. There is no time and energy left to be distracted, otherwise Xu Qingyan's efforts will be in vain.
Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen first summoned several military doctors responsible for treating Xu Qingyan, and from his groggy head, he tried his best to extract some superficial medical knowledge from later generations, such as wiping wounds with wine, and
For example, feeding salt water to replenish physical strength, etc., I gave these military doctors some detailed instructions.
Afterwards, Zhao Junchen took a deep look at Xu Qingyan, who was still unconscious, took a deep breath, and then turned around and left with heavy steps.
