Chapter 786 If you lose, I will start a fight to see you off to the grave!

Lingchu, with Jiang Yubai's anger at having seen through everything, rushed back to Nanyun.

The lucky military doctor he brought back was trembling with fear all the way, and the tragic scene of the General Hussar's serious and difficult-to-treat injuries replayed in his mind countless times.

Before meeting Xu Yu, my anxious heart was beating fast in my chest.

Even a three-year-old child knows that the General of Cavalry is the most capable and meritorious official under the young prince, and his achievements are unmatched.

The effective flood control and protection of the Jiangnan area is an unprecedented achievement.

With his merits exceeding those of others piling up, the news of Xu Yu's old injury recurring spread. Even the old prince who was far away in the Lingnan Royal City came to inquire about it, worried that Xu Yu's old injury would not heal and would leave him with future troubles.

The military doctor was afraid that his skills were not good enough and he would ruin Dongliang's future. When he saw Xu Yu, he subconsciously held his breath and concentrated on taking his pulse.

Half a cup of tea passed.

A cup of tea passed.

A fine bead of sweat formed on the doctor's forehead. He withdrew his hand and looked cautiously at the pale-faced Xu Yu. "General, please forgive my impoliteness, but I dare to ask, are you feeling so worried and frightened that you can't eat or sleep at night?"

The sound of Xu Yu's coughing seemed to be cut off.

Sangzhi pursed her lips with mixed feelings.

In fact, Xu Yu always ate well and slept soundly. He could eat six steamed buns as big as a fist in one meal, and also have three bowls of porridge to go with it.

Now that the risk of being swept away by the flood in my sleep is gone, things outside have gradually become clearer.

It seemed as if Xu Yu wanted to make up for all the losses of the past few days at once. Lately, he has become an idle person with nothing important to do. His biggest priority is to eat, drink and sleep well.

If Sang Zhixia remembered correctly, Xu Yu had just eaten four baked buns, a plate of steamed dumplings, and drank two bowls of soup in the morning.

He also slept well last night.

If Chen Jing'an hadn't come to interfere at noon, he would probably still be lying in bed, unwilling to move.

The people in the room fell silent.

The military doctor said with a worried look on his face: "General, you are young and strong and can eat well. Sleeping well is to nourish your qi and blood."

"The meridians are blocked, the internal organs are stagnant, and I can't eat or sleep. If this continues for a long time, it will be very difficult to heal the old injuries, and it's not..."

The military doctor stopped talking abruptly and dared not say anything more.

Xu Yu put on a brave smile and said slowly, "Just say whatever you want. I can handle it."

The military doctor said sadly, "General, you are not destined for longevity."

“Cough cough cough…”

Xu Yu choked on his breath and coughed until his face turned redder. Seeing this, the military doctor quickly reached out and grabbed Xu Yu's hand again to carefully feel his pulse.

A moment later, the military doctor who had come from afar walked out with a worried look on his face, carrying his medicine box.

Xu Yu finally stopped coughing and looked at the silent Qi Lao with a complicated expression: "In your opinion, my life span is..."

"The scourge will last for thousands of years."

Mr. Qi said coldly, "Don't worry, you still have a long life ahead of you."

As long as Xu Yu doesn't commit suicide on his own initiative, he won't die.

Xu Yu felt relieved after hearing the definite words. He patted his stomach and lay down contentedly, saying lazily, "Then I'll continue to recuperate."

Sang Zhixia: "..."

Although he said he was recuperating from his injuries, Xu Yu was actually not injured at all.

This guy was just pretending the whole time.

Sang Zhixia thought of what Lingchu had said and said delicately, "The young prince..."

"He knows what's going on."

Xu Yu closed his eyes and said nonchalantly, "Zhizhi, I'm gradually withdrawing my military power due to my injury. It's good for both him and me. It's something that both of us are happy to see happen. Don't worry."

At most, it would just cause Jiang Yubai, who knew the truth, to smash a few more sets of teacups.

Just fall.

As the ruler of the world in the near future, will he still need these few things that feel good when thrown?

Xu Yu didn't care at all about Jiang Yubai's anger, which he had nowhere to vent. He just played with Sang Zhixia's fingertips and said, "After all, a military doctor has come, and there are many people inside and outside who will spread the word. If I want to complete the whole stunt, I probably will have to lie down for a while."

Xu Yu said these aggrieved words, but the corners of his mouth kept rising silently.

Sang Zhixia couldn't help but laugh and said, "I don't see how aggrieved you are, but I advise you not to lie down for too long."

"otherwise……"

"If someone pulls you out of bed, puts you in a sack and beats you up someday, don't blame me for not warning you in advance."

Although the flood is over, there is still a lot of work to be done.

Xu Yu had just taken control of the coveted Jiangnan water town. There were many people who were eyeing this place openly and secretly, and there was a lot to do.

If Xu Yu quits his job, the remaining work will be handed over to someone else.

It’s hard to say what the others think, but as far as Sang Zhixia knows, Chen Jingan, who is like a millstone turning in circles, has jumped up and down more than once.

If Chen Jing'an gets angry, he will really take action.

Xu Yu curled his lips in disapproval and said lazily, "Military generals only care about siege strategies and don't care about the people's livelihood."

"I do all the work, both light and heavy, so what's the point of having so many civil officials?"

Xu Yu pinched Sang Zhixia's fingertips and said, "Isn't Mr. Xue arriving tomorrow?"

"Once Mr. Xue arrives, the rest of the matter will naturally fall into place."

If he wants to retreat, he can't just retreat on his own.

When Mr. Xue comes, he can use the excuse that everyone has their own expertise, and then stay for a while under the pretext of recuperating from his injuries, and then he can retire with Sang Zhixia.

Xu Yu's plan was quite good, but it was a pity that people who were too thoughtful often made mistakes.

For example, Yuancai.

And the 30,000 troops Yuancai brought to fight the flood.

During the all-out flood control efforts, the number of casualties was reduced to the lowest possible level thanks to effective response strategies.

The people Yuancai brought even had the rare opportunity to eat a full meal, which they would never have dared to imagine under normal circumstances, because they participated in flood relief.

But now that the flood is over, the enemy and friendly camps that were once regarded as nothing still need to be distinguished.

To this day, Yuancai has never said a word about surrendering.

But Xu Yu was so busy pretending to be sick and weak that he completely forgot about it.

After dinner, Xu Yu thought he could lie drunkenly on the lap of a beautiful woman and read some idle books lazily.

However, Sang Zhixia was busy with business affairs and had to go out temporarily, and the book he had just read was cruelly taken away by Chen Jingan.

Chen Jingan bared his fangs, looking as if he wanted to eat someone, and sneered, "Remember to be on time for your appointment tomorrow at noon."

Xu Yu: “…”

Xu Yu looked at the book that had been snatched away and said with a dull face, "No, when did I ever say I wanted to challenge Yuan Cai to a one-on-one martial arts competition?"

"you……"

"You what?"

Chen Jing'an fiddled with the book in his hand and said bitterly, "Our Cavalry General has been taking it easy these past few days. Has he forgotten any of his work?"

"So, we poor souls are born to be like this, turning the millstone around, and the mundane things of this world are of no concern to you?"

Xu Yu felt that what Chen Jing'an said was really harsh, but who knew that Chen Jing'an had prepared something even more inhumane.

"Don't be afraid. This is our territory. Yuancai even brought his men to eat all the good things your wife had. Would he dare to beat you to death in one go?"

"Keep your heart in your stomach and be brave."

Chen Jing'an patted Xu Yu's shoulder hard and said in a resounding voice, "He won't kill you."

"Go fight!"

"If you win, I'll host a banquet for you!"

"If you lose, I'll start a fight and end your life!"
