Chapter 230 The General Is Not That Ruthless
When Xiao Ning woke up, Lu Li had just arrived.
It was obvious that he had been running all the way here and he couldn't even catch his breath.
Li Yuan stood beside her bed and called Lu Li over, "The general just fainted suddenly..."
As soon as Lu Li walked over, he met Xiao Ning's calm eyes.
The complexion is rosy and shiny.
Judging from his face, he looks very healthy.
Li Yuan also turned around at this time. Seeing Xiao Ning's eyes open, he asked in surprise: "General, are you okay? How are you feeling now? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Ning shook his head, "I'm fine."
"Whether it's okay or not, you'll have to see it first."
Lu Li said as he put down the large medicine box he was carrying, squatted down beside the bed, and reached out to pull her arm: "General, let me feel your pulse."
"I'm fine, no need to touch me." Xiao Ning got up from the bed, "It's just right that you're here. Go check on Shen Zhiyi. He's injured."
Li Yuan frowned when he heard this: "General, weren't you just considering putting him on trial? Why are you checking his injuries now?"
Besides, it was just a broken rib, it wouldn't be fatal.
While Xiao Ning was asleep just now, he heard someone say that the general seemed to have broken Shen Zhiyi's ribs when he was questioning her.
Xiao Ning was silent for a moment, then said, "He's in our hands anyway, so there's nothing we can do about it."
That’s true.
But why be so nice to him?
As the only person who knew the inside story, Li Yuan knew very well that Xiao Ning and Shen Zhiyi were not having an affair.
Therefore, it is even more confusing.
But Xiao Ning obviously didn't want to say anything more, so he could only suppress his confusion.
only……
"General, your health is the most important thing. Let the army doctor take a look at you first."
"I'm really fine."
Xiao Ning brought Lu Li to the barracks where Shen Zhiyi was being held.
Shen Zhiyi was still tied in the same position, his head tilted back, and he dozed off on the chair.
Hearing the noise, he straightened his somewhat stiff neck and squinted to look over.
Seeing Xiao Ning bringing Lu Li over, the corners of his mouth curled up.
"It seems the general is not so ruthless."
Xiao Ning ignored him and gestured for Lu Li to go and see his injuries.
After Lu Li finished reading, he said to Xiao Ning, "Two of them are broken."
After hesitating for a moment, he added, "I'm afraid tying it up like this won't be conducive to healing."
Hearing this, Xiao Ning signaled Li Yuan to untie him.
Li Yuan frowned, but still did as he was told.
After the restraints on his body were untied, Shen Zhiyi raised his numb arm, but failed to lift it.
He raised his head helplessly and looked at Xiao Ning: "I seem to be unable to move."
Xiao Ning looked at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan: “…”
He walked forward speechlessly and resignedly, picked the person up and moved him to the bed.
Lu Li took off Shen Zhiyi's shirt and used a cloth belt to wrap around his chest to prevent the chest from moving and causing the ribs to be dislocated.
He also prescribed some hemostatic and analgesic medicine.
"I'll have the medicine boy bring the herbs over later. Just boil them and take them daily."
"During this period, try to stay in bed and avoid upper body activities, otherwise the fracture displacement will cause more trouble."
Shen Zhiyi nodded and glanced at Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning looked at Lu Li with a warm smile on his face: "Thank you for your hard work."
Lu Li also smiled sweetly at Xiao Ning: "This is my responsibility, so why should it be hard?"
After talking, the two of them went out.
Li Yuan stood by the bed and stared at Shen Zhiyi.
Judging from the general's performance just now, it seemed that he was about to agree to interrogate Shen Zhiyi, but he suddenly fainted. After waking up, he changed his attitude.
Also, the general clearly likes Her Royal Highness the Princess, but sometimes he would stare at Shen Zhiyi in a daze with a look that could be described as lustful.
Li Yuan felt that there was something behind Xiao Ning's divisive attitude.
But he couldn't figure out the trick.
Shen Zhiyi noticed that Li Yuan was staring at him and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Li Yuandao: "Nothing, I was just wondering why Shen Jianjun left secretly last night."
Shen Zhiyi said: "Is it important? It didn't succeed."
Li Yuan: “…”
…
Xiao Ning left the barracks and watched Lu Li go away. He then pressed his chest and asked softly, "Are you satisfied now?"
The body is calm.
No one responded to her at all.
Xiao Ning sighed softly and turned back to his barracks.
In the afternoon, Zhang Zhi sent someone to report to Xiao Ning that there were troops stationed seventy miles away from Jinzhou!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ning glanced at the map and immediately determined the other party's current location and which direction they were coming from.
She stood up and said to her personal guards, "Pass the order and have all the generals come to me for a meeting!"
Li Yuan and others arrived soon.
Xiao Ning informed all the generals about this matter.
Since the war, information channels in various places have been cut off.
They had no idea about the situation of the rebels in various places, and similarly, the rebels had no idea about the situation on their side.
If you want to know anything, you have to find out on your own.
But Xiao Ning remembered the caravan of merchants that had escaped from the southeast that she had encountered before. The merchants said that there was a large rebel group over there, and those people never made things difficult for merchants and civilians.
As long as the merchants paid the toll, they could leave safely.
The people are treated even more leniently.
Therefore, many people were willing to join the army and follow them.
They occupied several cities and expanded all the way north.
Xiao Ning felt that they had most likely run into this team.
Li Yuan quickly reacted, "I heard that the leader of that rebel group is called Zhang Dashu."
Xiao Ning nodded.
"Just from the name, he's a typical farmer. Can he fight? And he made such a big scene..."
"There should be a military advisor."
"General, what should we do? Like before, should we send someone to scout out the situation first?"
Xiao Ning shook his head. "Before, the rebels were hiding in the city. This time, they are camping outside. If we get too close, we might alert them."
Li Yuandao said, "I heard that they treat the people very kindly. How about we disguise ourselves and go and investigate?"
Xiao Ning touched his chin and said, "That makes sense."
So Xiao Ning decided to take a few people to check out the other party's financial situation.
Li Yuan was the first to object, "General, you are the commander-in-chief, how can you take such a risk so easily?"
Xiao Ning: "Don't worry, I'm experienced and will definitely come back safely."
Li Yuan still disagreed.
Xiao Ning said, "You stay here to look after the house for us, and keep an eye on that guy surnamed Shen. Don't let him get away."
Li Yuan wanted to say something else.
Xiao Ning frowned and said, "I have made up my mind, no need to say more."
Li Yuan: “…”
Which commander goes out every day to gather intelligence?
Sometimes he couldn't tell who was the commander of the Xiao family army between him and Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning picked a few people to leave the city.
We first went to the camp where Zhang Zhi was stationed.
When Zhang Zhi saw Xiao Ning and the others dressed like farmers, he immediately guessed her intention.
He frowned and said, "General, are you going there in person?"
Xiao Ning nodded and said, "I have longed for this brother named Zhang. Let's go and see what kind of person he is."
If it was really like what the caravan said, that they were a good team that cared about the people, then she still hoped to sit down and have a good talk with them.
It would be best to resolve this matter without resorting to violence.
For example, recruit this team.
However, this assumption is based on the assumption that this team really did not harm innocent people as the caravan said.
