Chapter 118 The General is Just Too Lazy to Argue with Women

Xie Lingyun helped with the last step of bandaging last time. It only required a simple tying, but he was probably afraid of hurting Zhao Cheng's wound, so he moved more gently.

Unexpectedly, early this morning, the gauze all fell apart, causing Zhao Cheng to have another fever in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, the wound was treated well and there was no infection. However, Xie Lingyun was scolded by Jiang Qingyue.

At that time, Zhao Cheng saw clearly that his majestic and final general could only utter two words in front of his cousin.

Zhao Cheng really forgot which two words they were, but he just remembered that after he said them, he was scolded by Jiang Qingyue again.

After that, Xie Lingyun remained silent and didn't say a word.

Zhao Cheng has followed the general for more than ten years. From the time when Xie Lingyun was a young man just entering the battlefield to the current powerful general who intimidates four countries, this is the first time he has seen the general so cowardly.

No, how could the general use the word "cowardly" to humiliate someone?

The general was just too lazy to argue with a woman.

Well, that should be it.

"Lieutenant General Zhao's injuries have healed well, but he needs at least half a year to recover and return to the battlefield. It's best not to lift anything heavy during this time. I'll make you some other medicine when we return to Yanjing, and you should be able to recover faster by then."

Zhao Cheng thanked Jiang Qingyue and wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw Xie Lingyun's expression, he shut up tactfully.

Because he still had a low fever, Jiang Qingyue gave him two more injections.

After finishing the treatment, he put away the needle and left.

From beginning to end, Xie Lingyun didn't say a word.

He didn't say anything, and Zhao Cheng didn't dare to say anything either. He just smiled secretly when Xie Lingyun turned his back.

"why are you laughing?"

Zhao Cheng quickly straightened his eyes and shook his head to deny it.

"General, you heard me wrong. I didn't laugh."

Xie Lingyun glanced at him sideways, his eyes frighteningly cold.

"I originally thought that once your injuries were better, I would try to get you to the city so you could be reunited with your wife and children. Now it seems that you don't want to go back?"

"think!"

Zhao Cheng had long missed his wife and children.

He licked and smiled.

"General, calm down. I was just thinking..."

Before Zhao Cheng finished speaking, the guards outside the tent shouted with joy.

"General, Guard Cang Yi and the others are back."

Xie Lingyun walked out quickly, and Zhao Cheng hurriedly shouted from behind: "General, handkerchief!"

He grabbed a handkerchief and covered his face with it, then quickly walked out.

Sure enough, a line of horse-riding soldiers came over there, and the one at the front was Cang Yi.

According to the plan, they should have arrived two or three days ago, but for some reason they were delayed until now.

Just as Xie Lingyun was about to go over, he saw a familiar figure running over not far away.

His eyes darkened.

Why is she so excited about Cang Yi's return?

But when they got closer, Xie Lingyun saw that it was Yuxiao who came back with Cang Yi and the others.

"Miss."

Yuxiao was just about to give the Jade Maiden Grass that she had found with great difficulty to Jiang Qingyue, but Jiang Qingyue stopped her.

"Are you injured?"

Yuxiao shook her head, "No."

Jiang Qingyue nodded, took Yuxiao and walked towards the tent.

Seeing Xie Lingyun coming over, he shouted to him, "I'll tell you to stay away from the medical tent and put on your face towel quickly."

She only had time to say this hurriedly, without even looking at him, and then left with Yuxiao.

Cang Yi led the officers and soldiers to dismount and saluted Xie Lingyun.

"General."

Suddenly, the unanimous voices were like the roar of mountains and drums, shaking the entire outside of Yanjing City.

Chu Hean, who heard the noise, stood in front of his tent, lifted the curtain to look outside, and then put it down casually.

With just a few of us, is it necessary to create such an imposing scene of a massive army?

What a waste of time.

The people who were still able to move stood up and stared at the officers and soldiers with curiosity.

"Is this the Red Flame Army led by General Xie? How majestic!"

"I heard that this team of only a few dozen people once recaptured a city that had been occupied by the Beili Kingdom for many years in one night, and they became famous in one battle."

Suddenly, all the people became excited and told the rumors they had heard.

When the Gentiles among them heard these words, their expressions changed.

Losing a city in just one night is an insult to the Beili Kingdom!

The people were talking incessantly, praising the bravery of the Red Flame Army.

Xie Lingyun glanced coldly at the few people hiding at the back who were whispering to each other, then calmly withdrew his gaze.

He called Cang Yi to another place, but before he could open his mouth, Cang Yi started to apologize.

It turned out that a heavy snowstorm blocked the road, so they were delayed for a day.

When they arrived at Yanlai Mountain, they met Yuxiao who was looking for medicinal herbs. Cang Yi and his friends had walked through the snow and were extremely tired, so they rested on the spot. He took two people with Yuxiao into the mountains to look for medicinal herbs, so they were delayed for a few days.

Xie Lingyun's eyebrows furrowed. "You guys went with them too? How many herbs did you find?"

Cang Yi gritted his teeth and replied, "Five."

Only five plants of Jade Maiden Grass?

More than a dozen people are infected here every day, and more than a dozen people become seriously ill.

Several people die almost every few days.

I also heard that many of Chu Hean's guards had already fallen.

If this continues, everyone here will probably be infected with the plague in less than half a month.

"Is there anything suspicious on the road?"

Cang Yi shook his head.

“No.”

Xie Lingyun glanced at the closed city gate in the distance, then looked at Chu Hean's account book, and suddenly sneered.

Zhang Ze, Concubine Wan...

"They're already at the door. I don't believe they're not anxious."

After arranging Cang Yi and his group, Xie Lingyun went directly to Jiang Qingyue's tent.

In the tent, Yuxiao was handing her the jade maiden grass she had found.

"That's all, is it enough?"

The moment Xie Lingyun's voice came, Yuxiao quickly saluted.

He gestured for Yuxiao to leave.

Yuxiao first glanced at Jiang Qingyue, and when she nodded, she retreated.

Xie Lingyun chuckled, "She is already yours."

Jiang Qingyue asked back, "Isn't this the one my cousin the Crown Prince sent me? From the day she came to my Yuehuaxuan, hasn't she been mine?"

Xie Lingyun frowned slightly.

"How did I offend you?"

Jiang Qingyue was confused, "What?"

Xie Lingyun took two steps towards her and looked down at the woman in front of him.

It was a well-behaved white rabbit yesterday, but today it suddenly became like a cat that only likes to scratch people.

"You've been acting so aggressively since you changed Zhao Cheng's dressing this morning. Jiang Qingyue, how did I provoke you?"

Jiang Qingyue was obviously stunned, then chuckled.

She was indeed angry, but not because of Xie Lingyun.

She was giving him a dark look only because she was in a bad mood and was looking for an excuse to vent.

But Xie Lingyun asked this question so seriously, as if he had really bullied him.
