After being busy for half a night, Chu Xingchen's voice became hoarse. Lingzhou walked over and said, "Your Majesty, please take a rest."
Chu Xingchen shook his head, "I'm not tired."
Seeing wounded soldiers on TV is completely different from seeing so many wounded soldiers in reality. The military doctor has assigned them catgut and has also taught them about suturing, but they are not familiar with it. Let Chu Xingchen see it.
It's even more worrying.
"I'm going to collapse soon, but I'm not tired yet."
Lingzhou bent down and picked up Chu Xingchen. The injured soldiers' eyes lit up as they sobered up. They began to whistle for a moment. Halfway through the whistle, they suddenly remembered that it was His Majesty and suppressed it again.
Tianliu looked at this scene and stamped his feet anxiously, Chief, why don't you come back yet!
Lingzhou carried Chu Xingchen to the temporary tent set up nearby, "Let's have something to drink and eat first."
Lingzhou gave Chu Xingchen water and dry food, and after watching her take them, he also sat next to her.
"On the battlefield, you must conserve your physical strength, eat and sleep when you have the opportunity, so that you can survive."
He didn't look like he was gobbling it down, but he was eating it very quickly.
His face was dirty and completely different from the past. This was the battlefield and territory he was familiar with.
As if silently saying 'Welcome to my world'.
Chu Xingchen was so numb that he no longer wanted to speak. He looked at the bonfire lit outside the tent and then at the stars in the night sky. In the night wind, the words "desert smoke" suddenly flashed in his mind.
Ling Zhou saw that her hands were shaking slightly and knew that it was the sequelae of excessive exertion and maybe fear.
Lingzhou stuffed the remaining half of the pancake into his mouth, stretched out his hand to pull her over, and pressed the acupuncture points skillfully.
"Your Majesty was very powerful today. He even shot Chen Ruoshui. I heard he killed several people. It was his first time on the battlefield that he could kill an enemy without crying. If you were my soldier, I would definitely promote you.
"
Chu Xingchen: "Promote me to be a hundred-year-old husband?"
Lingzhou let out a laugh, "How is it possible? I didn't expect that Your Majesty, you are so ambitious that you only want to be a hundred-year-old husband. Ten-ten-year-old husband is almost enough."
Chu Xingchen: "......"
She pulled her hand away angrily.
Lingzhou didn't care, and handed her the familiar wine bag, "Drink it, and you won't think too much after drinking it. It was my first time to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and I had nightmares at night. My father had no choice but to let him go.
I drink."
"At that time, I didn't know that children can't drink. They will make them dizzy and stop having nightmares."
"Your Majesty, this is a secret. Don't tell others."
This is the truth behind his habit of carrying a wine bag.
"What a secret."
Chu Xingchen did not refuse. She really needed wine today. She took a few sips and said, "Lord Grim, lying drunk on the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times."
"Good poems, Your Majesty is very talented in literature."
Lingzhou took the wine bag and took a few sips himself.
Chu Xingchen: "I can only recite this poem, I didn't write it."
Lingzhou: "...I carried it well."
Chu Xingchen laughed, and the two chatted for a few words. After Chu Xingchen drank the wine, he relaxed and soon fell asleep.
Lingzhou looked at her look and moved closer to her, just enough for her to lean on his shoulder.
"Your Majesty, who did you think of just before we came?"
When you are in danger, who do you miss the most and worry about the most?
"Zhou...zhou." Chu Xingchen muttered two words and fell into sleep completely.
Lingzhou was silent, then whispered, "Actually, it's okay."
Because the person who is by your side at this moment is me.
Afraid that Chu Xingchen would catch a cold at night, Lingzhou sat for a moment and gently carried Chu Xingchen back to his tent.
Lingzhou, who had to have Chu Xingchen under his nose to feel relieved, sat half asleep in front of the bed for half the night.
Chu Xingchen was awakened by a nightmare. When he woke up, he saw Ling Zhou guarding his bedside, and his heart was filled with confusion.
As soon as she stood up, she immediately woke up Lingzhou and pulled out half of the knife in an instant.
After he came to his senses, he sent the knife back and said, "It's not yet dawn, Your Majesty can take a rest."
"I've rested, but you should take a rest."
Just as Chu Xingchen finished speaking, Bao Jian's cautious voice sounded outside, "Little General."
"Come in."
Bao Jian came in to report that some of the rescuers from Northern Xinjiang were cleaning up the battlefield, while others were chasing Chen Ruoshui, but there were people on the road to meet Chen Ruoshui.
When they passed a village, they also discovered something unusual. The village was empty of buildings, as if it had been looted, and there were some blood stains.
The village was not far away, and he was worried about other forces. Lingzhou finally decided to send Chu Xingchen to a safe place and go to see the situation in person.
He has the heart to protect the people of Da Chu. In situations like the one in the village, he has often taken action when he came to them to ask for help.
Before dawn, Chu Xingchen was escorted by Lingzhou to the nearby beacon tower. Compared with other passes, this place was much smaller, but the beacon tower building was built very high and solid, and there was also a post station.
This inn was mainly used as a place for officers who conveyed military intelligence to board and change horses on the way. Lingzhou was familiar with this place and could trust it.
"Your Majesty, you rest here. I'll go take a look. If anything happens, light the beacon and I'll be back soon."
The wounds on Chu Xingchen's body were not treated, and there were even some blood stains on his face. The area had been cleaned up. I was very sure that there was no danger this time, so I wanted Chu Xingchen to take a good rest.
"Okay, then you must pay attention to safety."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lingzhou went out holding his helmet, the red hairband on his head fluttering in the wind.
Chu Xingchen cleaned himself up and felt alive, and those who surrendered among the private soldiers were finally accounted for.
"Your Majesty, they are indeed private soldiers established by the Lord Protector."
As for why more than ten years have passed, they are still loyal to the Protector and there are no traitors, and they are still dedicated to saving Chen Ruoshui. According to their explanation, it was because the Protector was their benefactor and they were brainwashed.
Later, Gu insects were used.
The protector of the country reused a person from the state of Wu, and he got the blood poison.
This kind of blood voodoo is much lower level than the love voodoo or mother-child voodoo, but it is useful and easy to control.
The antidote to the blood poison must be taken every year, and the most important medicine in the antidote is blood. Only the blood of the Protector's Mansion and his descendants can relieve the suppression of the blood poison.
After the death of Lord Protector, they were bound to die, but then Chen Ruoshui was born.
From the time Chen Ruoshui was born, he underwent injections and bloodletting every three months for medical treatment, so they were able to survive.
They cannot betray and cannot live without Chen Ruoshui, otherwise they will be dead.
This is the real reason why they have been protecting Chen Ruoshui secretly, and even committed actions such as robbing prisons.
They must save her, and after they are rescued, they must listen to Chen Ruoshui. After all, life and death are in her hands.
Chu Xingchen didn't say much about this. Anyway, the situation was almost settled. She was just worried that Ling Zhou never came back.
She couldn't sleep either, so she asked Yingying to find Lingzhou.
Shadow rushed back quickly, "Your Majesty, Ling Jun is rescuing people..."
After hearing this, Chu Xingchen immediately stood up and rushed to find Ling Zhou.
Not long after she left, the dusty Zhou Buyan arrived at Fengsui.
