Chapter 30 The Prince is so calculating
Du Wanwan stretched out two fingers, placed them on his pulse, and felt it carefully. The pulse did show internal injuries, but they were not very obvious.
She put away her fingers, raised her chin and pointed at the other hand. Ye Tingxiao still said nothing, rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his left hand and handed it to her.
Although the girl in front of him was young, her medical skills were very good and the medicine she prescribed was excellent. With her treating him, he believed that his injuries would heal quickly.
"You have internal injuries, but they have almost healed. You will be fine after resting for a while. You don't need to take medicine."
Ye Tingxiao pursed his lips and said, "I am not qualified to rest. I must find the main force of the Qizi Army. The ones who came tonight were the vanguards, or a small part of the vanguards. The main force has not arrived yet."
"You're a scout?" Du Wanwan asked casually, "Is there no one left in Liang County? Do they want you, the son of Pingyang Marquis, to be a scout?"
Hearing her say the word "scout", Ye Tingxiao's heart was suddenly filled with shock. A village girl actually knew about the official positions in the army.
Who is she?
"How do you know about scouts?" Ye Tingxiao was shocked. "You know what scouts do?"
Du Wanwan laughed again, mockingly: "Although I am a country girl, I do know something. A scout is an intelligence officer who gathers information about the military situation. Ye Tingxiao! Can you stop being so suspicious and just tell me whether you are a scout or not?"
Hearing her calling out his name with confidence, Ye Tingxiao's heart trembled as if it was hit by something.
It turned out that his name sounded so sweet and pleasant when it flowed from her lips.
With a slightly hot face, Ye Tingxiao told Du Wanwan very seriously: "I am not a scout."
After thinking for a moment, he decided to tell the truth, in case she really settled down in Liang County in the future and she found out that he had lied to her, making it difficult for them to get along when they met.
This girl was very special and he couldn't afford to offend her. Moreover, she had saved his life and helped him improve his internal strength. To him, she was his benefactor.
"I came here secretly to gather information. For Liang County, protecting the enemy is not the first line of defense, but the second. Logically, people from Liang County cannot come here to gather information on the enemy without permission."
After Ye Tingxiao's explanation, Du Wanwan seemed to understand it a little bit. To put it bluntly, it was the same as the division of war zones in later generations. The southern war zone could not go to the northern war zone to do whatever it wanted, otherwise it would be a violation.
For some reason, Ye Tingxiao unknowingly regarded Du Wanwan as a friend he could confide his sincerity to, and was willing to tell him some unknown things.
I guess he himself didn't realize this and unintentionally said something he shouldn't have said.
His identity, his whereabouts, and what he needs to do are all confidential and cannot be told to anyone casually, otherwise it will cause huge trouble.
But he told the girl in front of him everything, as if just to gain her trust.
"Liang County?" Du Wanwan took out the small bamboo card and handed it to Ye Tingxiao. "Did you give me this in the first place because you wanted me to go to your hometown?"
"Yes!" Even though his thoughts were exposed, Ye Tingxiao didn't think it was a big deal. Instead, he admitted it openly, "With your medical skills, if you go to Liang County, you can open a clinic and support a whole family."
Du Wanwan played with the bamboo cards in her hand, thinking for a moment, then sneered, "The prince is really good at calculating."
Ye Tingxiao's expression froze, and he felt that Du Wanwan's words simply made him feel ashamed. In front of her, his little thoughts had nowhere to hide.
In addition, he had begged for the potion before, so he was plotting against her.
"Sorry!" Ye Tingxiao stood up and saluted Du Wanwan. "The young lady's medical skills are truly amazing. I admire the young lady's talent, that's all. I don't really want to plot against the young lady."
"Don't call me girl all the time. It's not good if people hear me." Du Wanwan saw that Ye Tingxiao was sincere and didn't insist on this question. Instead, she warned him, "Call me Du Dalang from now on."
"good!"
Ye Tingxiao bowed to Du Wanwan again, and then sat next to her. After all, they were all men, so there was nothing wrong with sitting closer.
Du Wanwan is a modern person, and she grew up in the army with a group of rough men. She doesn't think there is anything wrong with Ye Tingxiao sitting so close to her.
Instead, he asked him with interest: "Have you found the main force of the Qizi army?"
"No." Ye Tingxiao shook his head. "The vanguard found several groups of people, all of whom came to investigate the situation. They are the same as the ones you encountered. It's easy to kill them, but burying them is a hard job."
Seeing that everyone was digging a hole to bury the bodies not far away, it was indeed not an easy task, so Du Wanwan did not respond immediately.
"Why did the Qizi army launch a large-scale attack on Wei?" Du Wanwan asked a question that she had never understood.
She had only been here for a few days, and she was a country girl, so she didn't understand the outside situation very well. Now that Ye Tingxiao was here, Du Wanwan wanted to find out.
Ye Tingxiao thought for a moment and introduced to her the current national strength and situation of the Wei Dynasty.
"Our Great Wei Kingdom is located between the four kingdoms of Beifang Zi, Nanjiang, Xilong, and Dongchen. The land is fertile and the products are abundant. Beifang Zi is experiencing drought this year, and many places have no harvest, so they encouraged the army to come to Wei to plunder. This kind of situation basically happens every few years, but the scale this year is a bit bigger."
Du Wanwan said slowly, "It turns out that the war was caused by hunger."
Suddenly hearing someone talk about the national war so interestingly, Ye Tingxiao couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You are right, it is caused by hunger." Du Dalang! I didn't expect you to be so humorous.
Du Wanwan tilted her head to look at him and was surprised: "Is it so funny?"
When asked so bluntly, Ye Tingxiao quickly stopped laughing and said seriously, "No, no, it's not that funny."
Seeing how obedient he was, Du Wanwan covered her mouth and laughed, thinking that this guy was really funny. She wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
She just asked a question and it was nothing serious, but he immediately became serious, as if he was very afraid of her.
"The people are buried, but what are you going to do with the horses?" Du Wanwan asked, pointing to the many horses that were pulled together by the villagers.
Ye Tingxiao took a look and said: "I will arrange for someone to send a message to the nearby garrison, and they will come to receive it."
Du Wanwan nodded: "That's good. If we leave so many horses alone, they will attract the attention of the Qizi Army. The villagers don't dare to take them on the road. If they are found out, they will definitely die."
After saying that, he stood up and stretched out his hand to Yetingxiao: "Since you helped everyone tonight, I'll give you a pot of water. Give me the water bag!"
Ye Tingxiao untied the water bag from his waist and handed it to Du Wanwan, saying with a double meaning: "Thank you! I believe that anything from Du Dalang must be good."
