Chapter 178
Yu Ying was placed under house arrest, but she was not treated badly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Knowing the relationship between Yuzhang and the Zhou family, she had nothing to worry about. She just ate and slept, conserving her energy and waiting for the handover.
In the past few days, the fifth boss would personally deliver meals every day, as if he was trying to please them.
Yu Ying knew that this person had bad intentions, so she kept sternly speaking to him.
That evening, the fifth master brought over some evening food and said outside, "Tomorrow morning, we'll take you to Yuzhang to exchange for silver. The journey will be difficult due to the mountain roads. Madam, please rest well so that we can continue our journey tomorrow."
After a while, Yu Ying still said "Thank you for the reminder".
After the people left, Yu Ying began to ponder.
Are they really going to send them back to Yuzhang?
Or did he "miss" Lord Zhou and his men on the way under the pretext of sending it back to Yuzhang?
There are two situations at present.
Or be sent back to Yuzhang.
Or send them to Zhou Yi and Fu Wei.
In either case, they will be fine.
Thinking of this, Yu Ying stopped worrying about it and went to bed early so that she could continue her journey tomorrow.
I had initially thought that Wei Yong and the others would all look haggard, but when I saw them again, apart from looking a little disheveled, they seemed to be in good spirits.
The people in Muyun Village let Yu Ying and other students stay together and did not make any other arrangements.
When Wei Yong woke up, he was already in the prison van. Seeing that Yu Ying, who was in the same van with him, was safe and sound, he finally believed the thieves' words that they would not touch them.
Wei Yong complained to Yu Ying, "I don't know what these thieves are up to. They drugged our food last night!"
Yu Ying finally understood why they were in such good spirits.
The leader of Muyun Village has gone to great lengths to ensure that they can return the jade intact.
Wei Yong looked around, but found only the military doctor, and no one else. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his face turned pale. "Didn't those thieves say they were only after money? Why are we, the elite soldiers escorting us, the only ones here?!"
Yu Ying thought to herself that they were probably lying in wait or had gone back.
She remained silent, and Wei Yong thought she was also frightened and dared not say anything.
After they had been riding in the prison van for a while, they were driven out and, tied with ropes, were led one after another up the mountain road.
Seeing the winding and rugged mountain road, everyone remembered the half month they had to sleep in the open air, and their faces were filled with despair.
We have to take the mountain road again, it would be better to kill them!
But no one dared to say the words of killing them, for fear of being killed.
Yu Ying remained silent all the way.
It’s not that I don’t want to talk, but the more I talk, the more mistakes I make. Anyway, just follow me and you’ll be right.
As they walked, everyone realized that it was indeed the mountain road back to Yuzhang. After all, when they detoured to Nankang, they seemed to have taken this mountain road.
During this period, some people planned to escape, but the security was very strict and almost every move was discovered.
After many days, people began to feel strange.
Surrounding Yu Ying, they said, "Even if these thieves are after money, they have tried to escape us time and time again. They have only threatened us verbally, but have never actually taken action."
Yu Ying also showed a hint of doubt: "It's true that he's been too kind to us."
Seeing his master agree, Wei Yong hurriedly said, "Sir, you agree, right? These thieves are quite strange. Even during the days they were captured, their cells were relatively clean, they had their meals as usual, and even had some meat occasionally. Is this how they treat their hostages?"
Another person said, "That's definitely not the case. Previously, a wealthy family in Yuzhang was robbed by bandits. The women were tortured beyond recognition, and all the men except the master were killed. Even the master returned covered in wounds and emaciated."
Everyone was silent.
I always feel that the lives of these "hostages" and "hostage tickets" are too comfortable.
They thought the thieves were strange, but they couldn't figure out why they did that. But what they were sure of was that their lives were not in danger, so they temporarily gave up the idea of escaping.
It took them half a month to go around Nankang, but because the bandits were familiar with the mountain roads in Lingnan, they thought they could get around Nankang and enter Luling in about ten days.
However, when passing by the high hills in the distance of Nankang County, thick smoke could be vaguely seen rising from the city.
The Nankang prefect has rebelled. If there is thick smoke, there will definitely be war!
"Should we get away?" someone asked the thief.
After spending a few days with these bandits and not being abused, the young military doctors were not as afraid of them as they were at the beginning.
The fifth in command glanced at the little boy who came over to ask him questions. He remembered that the man seemed to be called Wei Yong, who was good friends with Fu Wei's nephew and was very protective of his master.
He was not just someone else, but a student that Madam Yu valued the most. The Fifth Boss crossed his arms and looked at the thick smoke in the distance, wanting to talk more.
He asked, "Aren't you curious about who attacked Nankang?"
Wei Yong shook his head repeatedly: "Not curious, not curious."
Saving your life is important.
The masked Fifth Master suddenly smiled: "But I'm quite curious."
Wei Yong:?!
Yu Ying, who was not far away, heard this and looked at the thick smoke in the distance, as if she understood something.
The Fifth Master suddenly said, "Let's go to Nankang and see if there's any chance of finding a bargain."
Hearing the thieves say this, someone shouted, "Are you crazy?! We just had a battle, and we don't know whether they are people sent by the court or other traitors. We don't even know who will win or lose, and you dare to come close? Are you risking your lives?!"
"We are just thieves, what are we afraid of?" The Fifth Leader turned to the others and asked with a smile, "Brothers, don't you agree?!"
A group of people laughed loudly and responded: "Yes, we are thieves, what are we afraid of!"
The Fifth Master pushed Wei Yong and said, "Let's go. Stop talking nonsense."
Even though I was extremely reluctant, the situation was overwhelming and I had no choice but to follow them.
The military doctor was forced to follow them down the mountain to Nankang.
Even if someone wanted to break free and escape and didn't want to die with them, they were still under strict surveillance as always.
After walking for about two days, they stopped when they were about to reach Nankang City, and the fifth boss sent people to investigate.
While waiting, seeing that they were almost at Nankang, the Fifth Master, unwilling to give up, said to Yu Ying in front of everyone, "I admire you very much. Why don't you reconsider and divorce Fu Wei, follow me into Muyun Village, and enjoy wealth and glory with me from now on?"
Every day they heard such shameless words of stealing people's girlfriends, and there was no coercion. Yu Ying's students were angry but did not dare to confront them head-on. They just kept a close eye on their teacher to prevent the thieves from taking advantage of them.
Wei Yong stood in front of the master and glared at him: "The master is already married. You bastard, your words are frivolous. Don't even think about getting involved with him!"
The Fifth Master ignored these young military doctors and looked straight at the expressionless woman: "Don't think about it, I'm much richer than your husband."
After being confessed to so many times, Yu Ying was able to respond expressionlessly: "Not considering it."
The fifth boss made a "tsk" sound and said nothing else.
When the investigators returned, the fifth in command went to talk to the spies.
After Wei Yong saw the people leave, he said to Yu Ying, "Sir, don't be fooled by the frivolous words of these thieves. If they dare to do something dirty, I will fight them to the death even if it means risking my life."
Yu Ying nodded: "I won't be influenced by him, and you shouldn't be influenced by him either. He was just speaking frivolously. If he wanted to do something wrong, he would have done it long ago."
Wei Yong was also very puzzled and muttered quietly, "These people are really weird."
While muttering, the Fifth Master made an agreement with the spy and turned around and said, "Continue to Nankang."
The military doctors were in despair.
Maybe you don't want to exchange them for money, but for your future?
They had only studied medicine for a few months and their abilities weren't great, so why was it worth pursuing a career in them?!
I am afraid that once they reach Nankang City, the rebels will kill them directly.
Nankang had just fought a war, and their skills would surely allow them to save their lives.
Having said that, rather than saving their own lives, they feel that being loyal to others is betrayal.
It felt like there were two fires burning in my heart, one was about saving my life, the other was about betraying my master. The front side was painful, and the back side was even more painful.
The fifth boss glanced at those young boys, and then looked at the woman he loved but who was already taken.
The closer they got to Nankang, the more they seemed to have lost their souls. Madam Yu, on the other hand, remained silent the entire time and was very calm.
She is indeed the extraordinary woman he has chosen, because she is able to keep her composure.
Yu Ying didn't know that the Fifth Boss had been praising her all the way, she only knew that there was someone she wanted to see in Nankang City.
When they arrived outside Nankang City, the fighting had ended and the corpses were gone, but the smell of blood was still strong and the blood on the ground could not be covered up.
The broken weapons are still lonely and forgotten on the battlefield, and no one knows where their owners are now.
When Yu Ying and his group were traveling from Yuzhang to Lingnan, they saw many scenes of massacres or wars.
I have seen scenes that are bloodier and more unbearable to watch than this, and now I am no longer frightened. What I feel more in my heart is the sadness brought by the war, and the sorrow of hundreds or thousands of lives lost in the blink of an eye in a war.
There were fifty military doctors in their group, and more than two hundred people escorting them.
There were more than 200 people, and everyone was so tall as if they had taken some medicine. Even the shortest one was very strong.
As they approached Nankang City, someone suddenly said, "It's the flag of the Yuzhang Army!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up at the wall of Yuzhang City. It was indeed the flag of the Yuzhang Army!
Their hearts suddenly couldn't take it anymore.
He was captured, imprisoned, and almost sent away as a gift of surrender. His heart was torn between saving his life and betraying his master. He was in great pain. Now, he suddenly saw the flag of the Yuzhang Army and didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Yu Ying knew that their emotions were like a roller coaster, full of ups and downs. After this incident, anyone who hadn't collapsed would probably be of great use.
She couldn't be too calm, lest she arouse suspicion, so she stared blankly at the military flag on the city wall, looking confused.
Some people were crying loudly, while others were confused.
The gates of Nankang City were closed, and suddenly someone appeared outside the city. Countless archers on the city wall drew their bows and aimed at the outside of the city gate.
On the city wall, someone shouted, "Who is outside the city?"
The people of Muyun Mountain responded, "The fifth leader of Muyun Village in Muyun Mountain, Lingnan, knew that Zhou Lang of Yuzhang would fight here, so he sent the military doctor of Yuzhang to surrender."
After hearing this, those who were crying forgot to cry and were all confused.
Send them here...
surrender?
*
The victory or defeat of the battle of Nankang was clear.
After a short rest, Zhou Yi called his subordinates to discuss matters in the main hall of the Nankang prefectural government.
Just as the people below were about to report, he glanced at everyone, raised his hand, and asked, "Where are Prefect Shen and Mr. Fu?"
As soon as the voice fell, Fu Wei's voice came from outside: "The subordinate is here."
A moment later, Fu Wei, wearing armor, entered the main hall with Prefect Shen and bowed to Zhou Yi.
At this time, Prefect Shen was terrified. He had just experienced a war and was still in shock.
He hasn't led troops for more than ten years. Even after the war, he still couldn't calm down and his face didn't look very good.
Zhou Yi looked at Prefect Shen and asked, "Is everything alright, Prefect?"
Although he was still trembling with fear, he didn't want to lose the battle. Besides, he had also made great contributions, so he straightened his back and said, "Nothing."
"It's good that nothing happened. If Lord Shen hadn't pretended to surrender to the Nankang governor, we wouldn't have been able to capture Nankang so easily."
Fu Wei suggested that they pretend to be defeated and retreat into the mountains, then go around to Nankang via the mountain road, while Prefect Shen pretends to surrender and enter Nankang, so that they can attack the city from both inside and outside.
The rebellion in Cangwu County was known not only to the other eight counties in Lingnan, but also to people outside Lingnan.
Among the governors of the northern and southern counties, Governor Shen was known as a mediocre person who did not fight for anything. He was forced to rebel this time. If he could have a big tree to rely on, he would surrender without hesitation.
As soon as the Yuzhang army was defeated, he immediately led 500 people and a batch of grain that he said was seized from the Yuzhang army to surrender in Nankang City.
The number of people is not that large, so it is reasonable to use them as guards.
The Nankang prefect wanted to first occupy several counties close to the Lingnan border, as well as nine counties in Lingnan, a total of fifteen counties, and then he would lead his troops north and be invincible.
There seemed to be nothing wrong with Governor Shen's surrender this time, and the number of people coming was completely within a controllable range, so they were allowed to enter the city.
But he never expected that the people he brought into the city were almost all Yuzhang soldiers who were supposed to retreat to the mountains, and there was also a Fu Wei.
Although Prefect Shen felt that his contribution was considerable, he did not dare to take credit for it: "It was all Mr. Fu's plan, the general's good leadership, and the contributions of the soldiers. I only played a small role."
Last year, they were in a superior-subordinate relationship between the county magistrate and the county magistrate of the affiliated county, but they did not expect that their status would be reversed in just half a year.
What concerned him most was that Zhou Yi's transformation was so natural, as if he had never worked under him.
For a moment, Governor Shen suspected that his previous respect was all fake.
He was just suspicious. He was also flexible. He served the court, but the court was unreliable. Now he had to change the dynasty, but the new emperor still wanted him dead. Now he could save his life by paying tribute to the Zhou family. It was just a matter of serving someone else.
Zhou Yi was not surprised that Governor Shen did not want to offend anyone.
Having served as a county magistrate under him for four years, I have already figured out what kind of person he is.
Prefect Shen is like a smooth stone. He will never take risks unless his life and interests are in danger.
"After this is over and the Duke's great cause is accomplished, we will then reward him according to his merits."
The soldiers under his command were not surprised by what he said.
The previous emperor was fine, but few people could obey the new emperor, so they felt at ease, not to mention that the new emperor almost cut off their food supply.
After a few soothing words, Zhou Yi looked at the person who was about to report: "Everyone is here, go ahead."
The man said, "We've already done the reckoning. Over 1,300 soldiers have been killed and buried as Mr. Fu instructed. Over 800 seriously injured are also being treated. The minor injuries have yet to be counted."
"Also, the Nankang governor has been captured, and almost all of the Nankang officials have surrendered. We are now sending people to take inventory of the grain depots."
"What are the casualties among the surrendered troops?"
Fu Weiying said: "It is about the same as our army. Now more than 10,000 surrendered soldiers have been put under guard."
Zhou Yi frowned slightly and asked, "Have all the doctors in the city gathered?"
"We have found fifteen doctors and about thirty medical assistants in the city, and they have all been sent out to treat the wounded."
Fu Wei seemed to know what Zhou Yi was thinking, so he spoke: "The surrendered soldiers are also seriously injured. If you send someone to treat them now, you can also win over the people's hearts."
As soon as Fu Wei finished speaking, someone immediately disagreed: "Save them and let them attack us again? Besides, we don't have many military doctors. You have to be very kind-hearted to sacrifice our own troops to save the surrendered troops."
Fu Wei replied calmly, "The surrendered troops will eventually be taken back into our army. If we don't subdue them now, when will we?"
After that, he turned to Zhou Yi and said, "General, you might as well send two doctors to the enemy camp to treat the seriously injured first. After all, our attitude is on the surface. Our army treats surrendered soldiers well. If we fight in other counties in the future, it will also make it easy for the enemy to surrender."
"That sounds nice, but there are only so many military doctors and physicians, and we have so many wounded. If we need to save them, we should save our own people first and then the surrendered soldiers."
Zhou Yi actually favored Fu Wei's opinion, so he said, "The greatest contribution to the capture of Nankang this time goes to Mr. Fu. Captain Ji, please consider what he just said carefully before discussing it."
Captain Ji wanted to continue speaking, but seeing that everyone was silent and no one agreed with him, he felt angry.
Although Lang Jiang was indeed right in saying that Fu Wei had made the greatest contribution, he also had a point. We cannot stand on Fu Wei's side just because of his contribution.
While he was hesitating, someone suddenly came to report that the Lingnan Muyun Village had come to surrender and brought with them the fifty military doctors sent from Yuzhang.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi exchanged a glance with Fu Wei without changing his expression.
——You came at the right time.
But because the governor Shen entered Nankang City by surrendering, and they were able to capture Nankang with the help of internal and external forces, and now someone else came to surrender, it is hard not to doubt the authenticity of the surrender.
Captain Ji asked, "Have you confirmed that he is indeed the military doctor from Yuzhang?"
"It's confirmed. No fewer than three soldiers have identified their sons as being among them, and one of them is the son of the military doctor."
"We were in need of a military doctor, and the people from Muyun Village sent one to us. This is such a coincidence, so coincidental that it seems like they had already deployed."
"Yes, it's such a coincidence that it seems like a fraud."
The others who had not spoken out to join the argument just now actually joined in this time.
Zhou Yi said nothing, and told the person who came to report that he would go out and wait.
The extra people left before he spoke calmly, "The people of Lingnan Muyun Village are loyal to the Duke of the County."
Everyone was stunned and wanted to speak, but it seemed that nothing they said would be appropriate.
If the one he was loyal to was the Duke of the County, then did he have the intention of rebelling long ago?
How can they say this?
They have already rebelled now, no matter whether he was loyal before or surrendered now!
"I let them into the city. No one has any objection, right?" Zhou Yi looked around and saw that no one spoke, so he called the people outside.
"Let them enter the city and give the military doctors a half-hour's rest. After they have eaten something and drunk some water, immediately send them to rescue people."
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Send two veteran military doctors and five doctors to the surrendered troops."
He glanced at Captain Ji and said, "Now that we have more people, we can always send some of them over."
Even if there are more people, they won’t be enough. Besides, they are just rookies who have just started out and may not be able to handle the important task!
But it was obvious that Lang Jiang was determined to stand on Fu Wei's side, so he reluctantly lowered his head and said, "I have no objection to what Lang Jiang said."
The group entered the city.
The military doctor looked at the medical box handed to them by the bandits and guessed that they had already planned to surrender.
Since you've already planned to surrender, why bother scaring them?!
Thinking about how they had been frightened for so many days, they were filled with hatred and anger for a moment, but when they saw the city was full of wounded people, their hatred and anger were completely replaced by heartache.
After getting the medical kit and quickly drinking a sip of water, she followed her husband to save people without any hesitation and adapted very quickly.
Captain Ji was worried that the young military doctors would be frightened, so after coming out of the prefect's mansion, he hurried to the city gate.
The seriously injured soldiers could not move and could only be temporarily settled near the city gate.
When I arrived at the city gate, I didn't see the chaos I had imagined. Instead, I saw young military doctors between fifteen and twenty years old, cleaning and stitching up the wounded with a serious and well-trained look.
His calmness was totally unlike that of a rookie who had just started his career and was appearing on the battlefield for the first time.
If he hadn't told them that they had just come from Yuzhang, he would have thought they were old military doctors who had been with the army for several years.
If someone came and asked Wei Yong and the others if they were afraid.
The answer is fear.
But what he was afraid of was not the bloody scene, but the fear that he was not good enough in medicine and could not save people.
Even if they experienced a lot along the way, what was trained was only their courage, not their practice.
But nowadays they no longer practice with pork, but actually sew the needles into human flesh.
But they have seen too many dead people along the way and don't want to see anyone die again. Even if they don't want to, they can't change much, but they can do their best to save as many people as possible.
When Yu Ying entered the city, she immediately joined other students in the rescue efforts and had no time to think about where Fu Wei was.
Fu Wei, Zhou Yi, and two other people met with the fifth leader of Muyun Village.
The fifth in command entered the hall, saluted Zhou Yi, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Fu Wei.
Fu Wei looked at him and felt that the other party had a hint of ill intention, but it was not strong.
He briefly wondered if he had seen this person before, but there was no such person in his memory.
After looking at each other for a few moments, Fu Wei nodded slightly at him.
The Fifth Master secretly rolled his eyes at him, then said to Zhou Yi, "The elite soldiers who escorted the fifty military doctors have returned to Yuzhang. Fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission and returned the military doctors unharmed."
After Fu Wei rolled his eyes, he secretly wondered what grudge this person had against him so that he could be on guard.
When Zhou Yi dealt with Mu Yunzhai for the first time, he did not look down on them just because they were once fierce bandits.
After a few pleasantries, he asked, "Master Muyun sent the Fifth Master to bring the military doctor here. Did he have any other instructions?"
The fifth leader bowed and said, "The village is ready for battle at any time. We are at the command of the general. We are under the order of the village chief to stay in front of the general and obey his orders."
"The battle is over, and there's nothing else to do for now. You've traveled all the way from Xiping, so rest first. Once everything is settled at the front, we can discuss matters in the evening."
After saying that, he turned around and ordered people to find a place for them to rest in the prefectural mansion.
Before the fifth boss left the hall, he took another special look at Fu Wei.
His ambiguous look was too obvious for the other people in the hall to ignore.
After the people left, Zhou Yi asked, "Mr. Fu, have you ever had any dealings with the Fifth Master of Muyun Village? If so, I won't blame you. Just tell me straight."
Fu Wei shook his head: "No, this is the first time I've seen you."
Captain Gu said, "That's puzzling. When he came in just now, the way he looked at you seemed a bit..." He frowned and thought for a moment, "hostility."
Fu Wei said, "I don't know why either. Let me find out more carefully to see if there is any misunderstanding."
Zhou Yi: "Indeed, if there is any misunderstanding, it would be better to clarify it as soon as possible."
The truce had just ended, and there was still much to do in the city. They had to be wary of the surrendered troops, who might still harbor resentment and start another uprising, while also trying to appease the people in the city. No one had time for idle chatter.
After saying a few words about the fifth leader of Muyun Village, Fu Wei withdrew to appease the people.
First, a new emperor ascended the throne, bringing about a world of upheaval. Then, the governor of Nankang rebelled and proclaimed himself king. Just a month later, the Yuzhang army invaded Nankang again. The people of the city were now like frightened birds, terrified and staying indoors, fearful that any further unrest would drive them mad.
Fu Wei led people to shout in every street and every alley.
The war has ended, and General Zhou of Yuzhang promised not to destroy houses, kill innocent people, steal ill-gotten gains, or rape women.
Although the call was made, the people were worried and no one dared to step out of their homes.
The common people also needed a transition period. They would not dare to go out for three to five days. When they had no rice, no food, and no water at home, they would naturally find ways to go out and find food.
Once it happened, there would be a second time. After so many times, seeing that the Yuzhang army had no intention of harming anyone, they naturally believed that they would not harm the people.
When Fu Wei was patrolling from the North City to the South City, he met Captain Gu who was there to comfort the wounded.
When Captain Gu saw Fu Wei, he stopped and chatted for a few words.
Fu Wei inquired about the wounded's condition. Captain Gu said, "The young military doctors sent from Yuzhang may not look very old, but they are all well-trained. They don't look like rookies, but rather like experienced military doctors. Your wife is really capable."
Being praised for his wife, Fu Wei seemed to share the same feelings as Rong Youyan. Despite the originally solemn situation, there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
"My wife is capable, but she can only teach them skills. They are so calm, I think they must have experienced a lot along the way."
Sect Leader Zhou had the people of Muyun Village rob them, to ensure that they would be sent to Nankang safely, and also to train them to have the courage to deal with any situation.
Captain Gu said helplessly: "You are not modest when praising your wife."
Fu Wei: "It is true that my wife is capable, so I don't need to be modest."
"Hearing your praise like this, and seeing those young military doctors bandaging the wounded with such skill, I really want to come and visit you and your wife when I return to Yuzhang."
Fu Wei agreed: "Then I will respectfully await your arrival, Captain."
Captain Gu nodded and said, "By the way, we shouldn't have close ties with the leader of Muyun Village whom we just met at the prefectural governor's mansion."
Fu Wei raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why do you say that?"
Captain Gu frowned and said, "Just now, when I was checking on the wounded at the city gate, I saw him surrounding a woman. I thought she was his wife, but I heard from others that she was single and that she was married. Yet, he was constantly trying to pry her away, trying to convince her to divorce her husband and follow him. Such a shameless person is not worth associating with."
"I guess when he saw you at the prefectural governor's residence just now, he was jealous of your excellence, so..."
Before he could finish his words, a soldier beside him reminded him, "Captain Gu, it's getting dark, and you haven't checked on the wounded who surrendered yet."
Captain Gu looked at the sky. The sun was moving westward and it was time to set the mountain. It was indeed getting late.
"I won't tell you this, but you should never become close friends with that person."
After giving the instructions, he hurriedly took his people away.
Fu Wei turned his head to look in the direction where Captain Gu left, frowned slightly, and looked suspicious.
All the soldiers are men, and the people in the city are worried about their safety and dare not go out of the gate. Where did the women come from?
Was this woman actually seen by Captain Gu at the wounded soldiers' place at the city gate?
After a moment's thought, Fu Wei suddenly raised his gaze and looked towards the city gate, with some guesses in his mind.
He turned around and ordered other soldiers to continue shouting words to reassure the people in the city, and then took two people and walked quickly to the city gate.
*
Born into a bandit family, he has some skills in bandaging wounds.
The fifth boss also brought his people to help, and then he helped bandage the wounded beside Madam Yu.
His mouth never stopped talking.
Yu Ying ignored him completely. She was already exhausted and sweating profusely.
Seeing this, the chattering Fifth Master paused, pulled Wei Yong over, wiped the blood off his hands, and handed him a clean handkerchief: "Wipe the sweat off your husband."
Wei Yong was completely bewildered, but seeing the sweat dripping down his master's face, he didn't dare to think too much. His voice was a little hoarse from not drinking water for a long time, and he said, "I'm sorry, sir."
Then he wiped the sweat from Yu Ying's forehead and chin, not daring to be too offensive, so he just wiped it roughly.
After wiping it, he took the handkerchief and did not return it to the Fifth Master, fearing that this man was a wretched man who kept the handkerchief and thought about it day and night.
After taking the handkerchief, he continued to treat the wounded in a hurry.
The medical box contained spare sutures and hemostatic drugs. In addition to the medical box, the people from Muyun Village also brought their previous wound medicines and medicinal materials from their homes.
The fifth boss watched Wei Yong take the handkerchief and secretly glared at him, but did not ask for it back, which was annoying.
"Madam Yu, look at this. You've been in the city for nearly two hours now, and it's almost dark. Your husband hasn't even come to see you. It's obvious that you're just an ordinary person in his heart. Is it worth it for you to be so devoted to him?"
Yu Ying frowned slightly, not wanting to reply. Suddenly, a cold voice rang out, "Whether it's worth it or not is a matter between us two. The Fifth Master is being too mean to ruin someone's marriage like this."
Yu Ying paused in her stitching and, like the Fifth Boss, turned to look at the source of the sound.
Fu Wei wore the armor of an ordinary soldier, but because of his outstanding appearance and tall and straight figure, he looked different from others.
There was a tear in the armor, and the hair, which was originally neatly tied, became a little messy after the battle.
It should have been embarrassing, but the Fifth Boss always felt that there was a certain beauty of battle damage.
This man does have a good look.
Yu Ying glanced past the people beside her and met Fu Wei's eyes.
Fu Wei was originally the fifth in command of Leng Ning, but when he met Yu Ying, the coldness in his eyes instantly disappeared.
Yu Ying saw that Fu Wei did not look injured. Even though the couple had a lot to say, they just nodded to each other and turned back to continue stitching the wounded man.
She was exhausted both physically and mentally, her hands and feet felt like they were no longer her own, and she was only holding on with one breath. She absolutely could not let it go at this moment.
Fu Wei didn't bother her. He just glanced at the Fifth Master and said unkindly, "Fifth Master, can you please have a word with me for a moment?"
The fifth boss raised his eyebrows, stood up and walked towards him.
After approaching, he smiled provocatively: "Why, are you so angry that you want to warn me?"
Fu Wei glanced at Ah Ying who was still moving her hands, then looked back at him.
"My wife is exhausted. Please don't disturb her and let her finish her work first."
He didn't expect that Fu Wei would only say this to him, and the Fifth Boss showed a bit of surprise.
Suspiciously asked, "Aren't you angry?"
Fu Wei glanced at him and asked, "Who are you angry with?"
The Fifth Master pointed at himself, then at Yu Ying: "Me, her."
"You have nothing to do with me, why should I be angry?"
He looked directly at the person before him, speaking slowly and calmly, "Besides, my wife is both beautiful and talented, so it's normal for her to be coveted. But if I were to irritate every single one of them, wouldn't I be so pissed off that I'd die?"
The fifth in command frowned.
Suddenly I felt very annoyed with this person.
It can be said that he doesn't care about his wife, but the look in his eyes when he looks at her is full of tenderness, which is not concealed at all, and he cannot ignore it even if he wants to.
After a long silence, he asked, "You've been in town for so long, why didn't you come and take a look?"
"No one told me my wife was coming."
"Who are you trying to trick?"
Fu Wei: "I wouldn't lie to you."
After that, he turned around and ordered the soldier: "Go prepare hot water. Remember to boil it. When it gets cold, send it to the military doctor."
After giving the order, he looked at Yu Ying, walked up to her, cut a little gauze from her medical box, and gently wiped the sweat off her face and neck.
Fu Wei didn't say a word to her. After wiping his sweat off his face, he stood up and walked back to the Fifth Master. He bowed and said, "I still have some government affairs to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, he looked at his wife, then turned and left.
The fifth in command stood there with a gloomy expression.
The couple didn't say a word, but it seemed like they had said a thousand words.
He always felt that there was no wall that could not be pried up in this world, and only those who were insincere or gave up halfway could not pry it up.
But just at that moment, he had a feeling that he didn't want to admit.
This couple seemed to be surrounded by a solid wall of iron and steel. No matter how hard someone used a hoe to pry, they could not move it at all.
Realizing this, the fifth in command frowned and suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Fu Wei is blessed by God for having such good looks and brains, so why should he be given another beautiful woman?
Could the world be any more unfair?
I sighed, but had to admit what my uncle said.
He has no self-awareness at all.
He is young, handsome, smart, able to fight in the battlefield, and he trusts his wife wholeheartedly.
If he were a woman, as long as he was not blind and had a clear mind, he would probably choose Fu Wei.
