Chapter 25 Zhao Dabao

Last night, several military doctors took turns to rest for a while, but Xu Zhao was the only one who was busy from evening to morning. The only rest he had was probably stopping to drink some water.

After Shen Yu learned about it, she went to the healing tent and pulled Xu Zhao back to her tent.

Xu Zhao was inexplicably pulled out of the tent by Chen Yu. She was confused and shouted, "Let me go!"

Chen Yu kept a cold face and said nothing the whole time.

Along the way, patrolling soldiers saw the two people arguing on the road and stretched their necks to look.

Xu Zhao felt the gazes coming from all directions and had to shut his mouth.

Chen Yu said coldly: "Is there nothing to do?"

His voice was powerful and carried an unquestionable tone.

In an instant, all the soldiers who had been sticking their heads out retracted their heads and looked away.

Everyone can see that the prince is very angry at the moment, and they can't let themselves be affected by the prince's anger by reading gossip.

Back in the tent, Shen Yu said angrily: "I know you have a kind heart, but you also have to take care of your body!"

Suddenly, Shen Yu yelled at him and he was a little confused. "You are so fierce," Xu Zhao said feeling a little aggrieved.

Shen Yu was stunned, and his anger suddenly subsided by half. It was his first time to get along with a girl. He was used to getting along with the soldiers in the barracks on weekdays, and accidentally mistook Xu Zhao for a soldier under his command, so his tone was a little heavier.

"I'm sorry, I..."

Shen Yu was at a loss.

"I forgive you."

Xu Zhao wasn't actually angry, he just felt that Shen Yu's words were a bit harsh.

“I know my own body.”

She had experienced similar situations when she participated in variety shows before. She worked in the company during the day and stayed up late at night to cooperate with the filming of the program crew.

All I can say is that we are still young and our bodies can endure it.

"No matter what, you should rest now!"

Xu Zhao was pressed on the bed by Chen Yu. He turned and left, lowering the door curtain for Xu Zhao.

The cloth used to make the tent is very light-proof. After the door curtain is lowered, the tent instantly becomes as dark as night.

Perhaps it was because I was no longer worried and my nerves were no longer tense, so I lay down on the bed and fell asleep in a short while.

When she woke up again, the tent was still in darkness and she had no idea what time it was.

Xu Zhao stretched, yawned, and got up from the bed.

She pulled open the door curtain and found that it was already dark outside. A brazier had been lit in the military camp, illuminating the entire camp.

Xu Zhao first went to Chen Yu's tent, but when he didn't see him, he walked around.

We first went to the military medical camp, where many military doctors were still busy. However, there were no seriously injured soldiers at this moment. There were some wounded soldiers who were currently having their dressings changed.

Many of the wounded were injured in the chest and back. There were only men in the tents, so they didn't think much of it. In order to make it easier to change the bandages, they took off their shirts and exposed their arms.

The soldiers trained a lot on weekdays. Xu Zhao took a look inside and saw that they all had abdominal muscles.

Inexplicably, Xu Zhao suddenly felt that Shen Yu must also have abdominal muscles.

In ancient times, men and women were strictly separated. Xu Zhao was afraid of being misunderstood, so he left when he saw that Chen Yu was not inside.

As Xu Zhao was walking, he heard a noise outside the military camp, so he walked towards the outside.

There were many soldiers standing outside the military camp. Xu Zhao saw Shen Yu standing at the front. Behind him stood many neatly dressed soldiers. Each of them held a black bowl filled with an unknown liquid. Xu Zhao guessed that it should be wine.

There was a great noise outside the door. In front of Chen Yu was an altar. He held up the wine bowl in his hand and said, "Cheers to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country!"

He drank the liquid in the bowl in one gulp, and everyone behind him shouted in unison, "Salute to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country!" The sound was majestic and deafening.

Everyone drank it all in one gulp.

Xu Zhao didn't expect that they would collectively pay tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives after the war. Seeing this, her heart felt warm.

Chen Yu was still presiding over this "sacrifice" outside the tent.

Xu Zhao quietly walked a few steps into the military camp, not wanting to disturb Shen Yu outside the tent.

As soon as I turned around, I saw a man wearing the uniform of the Moon Country Army hiding in a corner. He didn't look very old, perhaps only fifteen or sixteen years old.

I didn't expect that I would join the army at such a young age.

Xu Zhao walked towards him. Seeing this, the little boy shrank back as if he had made a mistake, thinking that Xu Zhao would not be able to see him.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain.

Xu Zhao walked up to him after a while and asked curiously, "Why don't you go with them to pay tribute to the soldiers? Instead, you're watching from behind?"

There are many soldiers outside the military camp, but definitely not all of them.

Looking around, this was the only one peeking.

"I..." The little boy muttered for a long time but couldn't make any clear words. Instead, he took two steps back out of fear.

Xu Zhao was not in a hurry and asked patiently: "What's your name? My name is Xu Zhao, you can call me Sister Xu."

The best way to bring two people closer together is to exchange names first and then become friends.

Perhaps because she saw that Xu Zhao was very kind, she spoke boldly, "Sister Xu, my name is Zhao Dabao, and everyone in my family calls me Dabao."

"Dabao, then you must be the treasure of the family."

"Yes," Zhao Dabao nodded timidly, "I am the only child in my family. A year ago, the late emperor passed away, and the prince returned to the imperial city to mourn. Then a group of thieves from Mobei took the opportunity to sneak into the city, and my parents were ruthlessly hurt by them. Later, the prince took pity on my parents' early death and took me in. Seeing that I was young, he agreed not to go to the battlefield."

As he spoke, Zhao Dabao seemed to open up and described the situation of his family clearly.

"What a poor child," Xu Zhao touched Zhao Dabao's head, "The prince is a very good person. If you don't want to stay in the barracks when you grow up, you can talk to him. I think he will definitely arrange your future life."

The scene outside the military camp is still vivid in my mind. I wonder which country's prince would lead a group of soldiers to pay tribute to the dead souls. Swords are merciless on the battlefield, and which superior would care whether the souls of those who died on the battlefield can rest in peace.

Plus the time I’ve been spending with Shen Yu these days.

Xu Zhao did not think that he was a cold-blooded prince. He was flesh and blood, and he valued the soldiers on the border and the people in the city.

I think Zhao Dabao's experience must have been very painful for him.

The flame in the brazier swayed in the breeze, shining on Xu Zhao's face.

"Sister Xu, I want revenge. I want to avenge my parents and the generals who were killed by Mobei Kingdom!"

"What a good ambition! You should practice martial arts well and keep fit." Xu Zhao saw that Zhao Dabao had skinny arms and legs and thought that he might even have difficulty lifting a spear for use on the battlefield.

Zhao Dabao lowered his eyes, drooped his mouth, and whispered: "Sister, I'm afraid..."
