Mingwei has always felt uneasy recently, so she made a divination.
Ning Xiu glanced at it twice: "This hexagram is very dangerous."
Mingwei frowned and put away the copper coins.
"Are you doing this for your junior brother?"
Mingwei nodded.
Ning Xiu also frowned.
Yang Shu is on the front line. No one can say anything about the war. What if something happens...
Just as I was thinking this, I heard rapid footsteps coming from outside.
Ning Xiu called the soldier and asked, "What happened?"
The soldier replied: "A group of our troops was attacked by the barbarians. Now they are retreating. There are many wounded. We must rush to respond."
Ning Xiu immediately looked back at Mingwei.
Mingwei pursed her lips and said, "Go and have a look."
It was already dark, and the two of them walked out of the city gate. There was already a lot of noise outside. The soldiers stationed on the gravel slope quickly ran forward and lifted the wounded off their horses one by one.
There was also a logistics officer giving instructions loudly: "Quickly, the wounded go this way and the horses are led over there. The seriously injured are in front and the lightly injured are in the back."
Military doctors followed closely and conducted preliminary examinations of the wounded.
"This one is dead, carry it away."
"This is a minor injury. Take him to the shed."
"This injury is too serious and needs to be treated immediately..."
Mingwei picked up a soldier and asked, "Which branch is this? Who is the general?"
The soldier was a little confused: "I don't know, I just know that Liangchuan retreated."
Mingwei and Ning Xiu looked at each other and felt a thump in their hearts.
The last letter Yang Shu sent back mentioned that he was going to Liangchuan.
After half a year of fighting, he has been able to lead an army on his own. Since he has been sent there, there will be no other troops.
Mingwei turned around and ran out, grabbing the wounded and looking at their faces to see if there were any Yang family generals she was familiar with.
It was difficult for her to recognize her face, it was dark, and she couldn't remember her breath after half a year, which made her even more panicked.
Ning Xiu caught up and shouted: "Don't worry, the seriously injured are all in front. If you don't see them, it means they are fine..."
Mingwei also knew that although the prediction she had made earlier was dangerous, there was still hope. But she couldn't control her panic when she didn't see him.
"Axuan!" Ning Xiu suddenly called out.
Mingwei turned his head to look, and sure enough he saw Ah Xuan, who had taken off his helmet, standing there talking to someone.
Hearing Ning Xiu's voice, Ah Xuan and the person who spoke turned their heads together.
Mingwei's breathing suddenly stopped.
The man's armor was covered in blood and stains, and he had a tattered cloth tied to his arm. He also took off his helmet, but for some reason, most of his bun was loose. He looked unkempt and very embarrassed.
It was precisely because of this that Ning Xiu didn't recognize him just now.
He looked over here, with a big smile on his blood-stained face, which made the cinnabar mole on his forehead more vivid.
Then, he ran towards this side.
Mingwei felt a gust of wind blow by, and she was hugged.
The strength was too great, and the armor made her feel uncomfortable, but her heart calmed down.
The smell of blood was so frightening that it almost choked her.
But she didn't push away.
It's been half a year, and they have never been separated for so long.
After a while, Yang Shu finally let go and said, "I wanted to give you a surprise. Why did you just come out?"
Before Mingwei could say anything, he suddenly screamed strangely and covered his head: "I haven't washed myself yet! Come on, come on, turn around and go back! I'll find you later!"
She saw such an ugly look, his image as a young man!
Ming smiled slightly and was pushed away by him obediently, saying, "Then I'll go back and wait for you."
"Yeah, yeah, go quickly."
Seeing that Ming Wei had left, Ning Xiu wanted to leave too, but was stopped by Yang Shu: "Brother, come and help! I don't have enough manpower."
Ning Xiu looked at him indifferently.
"What are you doing standing still? Lao Fang is in trouble this time. His leg is broken and I don't know if he can put it back together." Yang Shu babbled, "Don't you have some secret pills? Give him one quickly.
Hang on to your life first. Oh, look, what am I going to do? Time is running out, and human life is at stake!"
Ning Xiu twitched his lips and followed Ah Xuan expressionlessly.
Forget it, he looked away anyway, it was just differential treatment.
…
The gravel slope was busy for half the night.
It was not until dawn that Mingwei saw Yang Shu who had taken a bath and changed clothes.
After not seeing each other for half a year, he had changed a bit. His facial features were more angular and his skin was roughened. Fortunately, he got tanned easily. After changing into regular clothes, he felt more heroic and not rude.
"It's a blessing in disguise that I'm back!"
Mingwei grabbed his arm first: "Is it hurt here?"
Yang Shu said nothing and let her untie his clothes: "It's okay. It's not a serious injury. It has been sewn up."
Sure enough, Mingwei saw that the inside was bandaged, but there was a lot of blood oozing out, and the wound looked quite long.
"Are there any other injuries?"
"No, no. I'm very lucky. I've been injured very rarely. Except for this, everything else has been cured long ago."
Mingwei touched it again to make sure he wasn't lying, then stopped.
"What happened? You were attacked?"
As he was talking, a voice came from outside, but it was the cook bringing some noodles.
Yang Shu looked at the bowl of noodles and drooled: "Wait a minute, I haven't eaten anything all day, wait until I finish eating."
"good."
Mingwei sat at the table and watched him eat noodles.
This bowl of noodles is not delicious at all. It is just ordinary boiled noodles with a few green vegetables, no toppings, and no broth.
However, he ate the food sparingly, as if it was some rare delicacy.
Mingwei couldn't help but think of the first time she met Young Master Yang.
At that time, he was enjoying fine wines and delicacies. It would be nice to give him a look at such expensive dishes. How could he have imagined that one day he would hold a bowl of boiled noodles and eat so happily.
A large bowl of noodles went into his stomach, and Yang Shu let out a sigh of satisfaction.
"After eating military rations for half a year, I even forgot the taste of noodles."
Mingwei felt sad after hearing this and stepped forward to hug him.
She stood while he sat, just holding him in her arms.
Yang Shu was very happy and whispered: "I can give you a hug, all the hard work is worth it."
Mingwei had already let go and asked him: "First tell me what's going on?"
"oh……"
Yang Shu touched his nose and told his own experience. He was indeed in Liangchuan, and he was indeed attacked. It was Nasu who attacked him. The two sides fought hard for a whole day, and when he saw the reinforcements coming from the other side, he had to bring some people with him.
Back away.
Liangchuan was not far from the gravel slope, and there were too many wounded, so he simply came back.
"That's it."
Mingwei asked him again: "How is the war going? Can we make a breakthrough before winter?"
Mentioning this issue, Yang Shu frowned and said: "I really don't know about this. The Holy Father is not willing to send us more troops and horses, so it's not that easy to deal with! If we add another hundred thousand, I think it should be stable, but it's a pity..." (To be continued)
