Chapter 789 Selling the Dog

Lin Yuesha took a sip of tea and asked Bai Cha, "Did my cousin leave any instructions before he left?"

"Lord Xu is completely unaware of this matter and is still watching the spectacle unfold with Young Master Zi."

Bai Cha thought about it carefully. Master Xu wanted to eat the pastries and meat shumai made by his young lady, and he mentioned it several times.

At first, she was afraid of Lord Xu because he often had a cold face. However, when Xu Da was tricked by everyone and still laughed foolishly, she felt that he was like a silly roe deer, and the distance between them suddenly decreased a lot.

"The wind howls, the Yi River is cold, the hero departs, never to return."

Lin Yuesha recited a sentimental poem with deep emotion: "A true man can achieve great things, not just through force, but also through his looks."

"This servant thinks it's unlikely that the city lord's daughter would take a fancy to Lord Xu, since Young Master Zi went along with her."

With glittering gold, who would want silver?

"That's not necessarily true. Some people just happen to prefer my cousin's type."

Compared to Xu Da, Zi Yuan is an insignificant outsider, so Lin Yuesha must stand on Xu Da's side and cheer him on.

"But Young Master Zi's appearance is unparalleled. He has the same looks as Lord Xu."

Ziyuan was the most beautiful person Baicha had ever seen. She possessed purity, elegance, allure, and even aloofness and nobility. Her face was so versatile that no one could match it.

"Does that mean people with poor eyesight aren't allowed?"

Lin Yuesha slapped the table. What's wrong with Bai Cha, that maid? Why does she have to argue with her?

White Tea: ...Alright, my young lady wins.

Lin Yuesha didn't see Qi Heng all morning; she went to the camp to help out.

Lianqiao has already mastered the skills and has sent letters to the sisters in Qincheng. I believe Yu Qiuniang and her people will arrive soon.

"Sister Yue Sha".

Bai Youran's leg had just started to heal and she couldn't do heavy work, so she quickly threaded a needle and was making a pair of leather boots, which were quite large.

"It was made for Brother Yang."

Bai Youran held it up carefully. It was made of several layers of cowhide that she had sewn, with wool added inside. It was not only warm, but also prevented her feet from getting wet when walking on snow in winter.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​making boots?"

Lin Yuesha took the pair and thought that she should make a pair for Qi Heng, since his size was similar to that of her stepbrother.

"Don't take it personally, he saved my life, and I'm doing this to repay his kindness."

Bai Youran explained in a low voice, her face flushed.

Lin Yuesha was full of questions. Did she say something? Anyway, as for Bai Youran, she only needed to maintain a superficial relationship. She didn't like women with many thoughts. The fact that they got along well now was only because Bai Youran had reformed and because of Doctor Yan.

"It was another fierce battle just now. We carried down hundreds of wounded soldiers, and Dr. Yan and the physician came to help!"

When a soldier came to call for help, Yan Yan and Lian Qiao immediately carried their medical kits and ran back to the camp.

"If we don't have enough manpower, I'll go help too!"

Lin Yuesha was originally there to teach the cooks how to make instant noodles, but she couldn't do that right now. She had experience in sewing, so she could fill in for them.

Yan Yan had about twenty men under her command, but that was far from enough to deal with several hundred soldiers.

Everyone was busy treating their wounds, their foreheads covered in sweat.

"Those with serious injuries, send them to me and Doctor Lian!"

Yan Yan shouted and found a tent, where she and Lian Qiao went inside.

Lin Yuesha was assigned to several wounded people, including a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old. He had a cut on his arm from a knife, but the cut wasn't very deep and it was still bleeding.

Lin Yuesha first tied her arm tightly to stop the bleeding, and then used fire to sterilize the needle.

Without anesthesia, the young soldier was sweating profusely from the pain, but he didn't cry out.

"If it hurts, just yell it out. It's okay, I know it hurts a lot."

Lin Yuesha tried her best to move quickly to reduce the time the soldiers suffered.

"I can't shout."

The young soldier gritted his teeth and shook his head.

His mother said that he would rather die than be a slave to a conquered country. He joined the army not simply for a meal, but to help the villagers live a better life.

His home was on the border, where it had already been occupied by foreign tribes.

"If I shout it out loud, it will affect morale and I'll be laughed at."

After the young soldier finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and remained silent until Lin Yuesha finished stitching.

The next group of injured people who came in only groaned softly. Even the one with the most serious injury, who had a broken arm, didn't utter a sound. They were all men of courage and spirit.

Lin Yuesha was deeply moved, and she felt a strong urge to do something for these people.

The busy work continued until dusk. Smoke rose from the campfires, carrying the aroma of meat.

The military supplies supplied by Qincheng have arrived, and the soldiers can finally have some meat to replenish their energy.

Back in the bridal chamber, Lin Yuesha's body felt as if it had been run over; her arms trembled so much she could barely lift them.

"Miss, the camp has cooks to prepare the food, why are you doing it yourself?"

Cooking in a large pot is difficult, and the young lady can't match the soldiers' physical strength, so she's exhausted and can't straighten her back.

Bai Cha massaged Lin Yuesha, loosening her muscles and bones, which made Lin Yuesha feel a little more comfortable.

"Moonlight Veil".

In the Northwest, there were no such customs as in the capital. Before Madam Xu entered the house, she called out in the courtyard.

"Auntie, I'm here."

Lin Yuesha quickly sat up, just as Madam Xu entered the room.

"I heard you were exhausted during the day, let me give you a massage."

Madam Xu waved her hand, signaling Bai Cha to step aside, and she would take over herself.

"ah!"

After Madam Xu started working on her, Lin Yuesha immediately felt soreness all over her body. Once the soreness subsided, she was able to lift her arm.

"That's amazing!"

Lin Yuesha shook her arm and quickly thanked Madam Xu.

"You've never seen war before, girl. You've had a tough time."

Madam Xu loved her soldiers like her own children. When she heard that Lin Yuesha had helped for a whole day, she was very pleased. She loved Lin Yuesha and had not misjudged her.

"There's so little I can do; you're the one who's working so hard."

Lin Yuesha declined a few times, not wanting to exchange pleasantries with Madam Xu. She knew that Madam Xu must have something to discuss with her since she had come to visit.

"Dog and Demon went to Wu City. Just now, the envoy from Wu Kingdom sent a reply saying that the city lord's daughter has taken a liking to Dog."

Madam Xu was overjoyed. She wanted to go to Wucheng herself, but the other party was wary of her identity and wanted Daqi to send a woman to discuss the matter in detail.

What should we talk about?

Lin Yuesha pointed to herself and asked, "You want me to go?"

Going is fine, but she can't make the decision herself.

In addition, Lin Yuesha suspected that her mouth was blessed. She casually said it, and it turned out that the city lord's daughter really had a problem with her eyesight. She rejected Ziyuan and took a fancy to Xu Da.

"Whether to negotiate a price and sell the dog depends on Wucheng's sincerity."

Madam Xu's eyes gleamed with shrewdness as she began to make her own calculations.

No matter how you look at it, you're not losing money. You sell your son, gain a daughter-in-law, and soon you might even have grandchildren.

Furthermore, it would also allow Wucheng to open its gates and release people, so that both sides could jointly reclaim the northwestern border of the Great Qi.

Although she was the one who benefited, Xu Da was her own son, and since he had sacrificed himself for the country, the price absolutely could not be lowered.
