Chapter 179
The night was dark, the city of Nankang was ablaze with fire, and the flag of Yuzhang was flying on the wall.
Nankang City was filled with the smell of blood and desolate air after the war. After dusk, crows would circle above the city or perch on the top of the city walls, giving people a chilling feeling.
Under the firelight, the soldier fell asleep holding the cold blade.
Yu Ying and other military doctors treated the seriously injured soldiers. Captain Gu came over and arranged ten military doctors to treat the seriously injured soldiers of the surrendered army.
By the time all the seriously injured were treated, it was already midnight.
Military doctors are also human beings. After more than a month of long journey, they have witnessed too many separations and deaths, and have been imprisoned for more than ten days. They are already exhausted.
We have been rescuing people for several hours now, and several people have fainted.
Even though there are still many seriously injured soldiers, they have to rest because of their limited energy.
Military doctors are precious and should not be wasted.
Captain Gu waited in front of the east city gate for the young military doctors to bandage the seriously injured soldiers, and then told them to go back and rest, and continue after three hours.
After saying that, the pale and tired young military doctor didn't care about the dirt and immediately collapsed on the ground, not even having the strength to lift his hands.
Yu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and felt weak all over. As soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy. Her body was shaking, but she was supported by a steady force the next moment.
"Go sit aside for a while and drink some water."
The voice sounded beside her ears. Yu Ying raised her head and looked at Fu Wei, who was still wearing the same armor as today, knowing that he had not rested either.
"Okay." His voice was a little hoarse due to the fatigue from several hours and not having a drop of water.
After Fu Wei helped her to the side, he took off the bamboo tube from his waist, opened the lid and handed it to her.
He said softly, "There's sugar in it."
Yu Ying took it and took a small sip. The cold water was sweet and it felt soothing as soon as it entered her throat.
She drank half a tube of sugar water and regained some of her spirit. After handing the bamboo tube back to Fu Wei, she glanced at the soldiers around her who were tortured by pain, and her heart felt heavy and depressed.
Not only she is like this, but all the young military doctors are the same.
Fu Wei closed the bamboo tube and looked at his wife.
Seeing her looking at the soldiers silently, he understood that she was feeling bad, and reached out his hand to pat her back gently with empathy.
Yu Ying gently leaned on Fu Wei's shoulder and said sullenly, "I really hate war."
No one likes war.
"After Nankang, I'll have someone send you back to Yuzhang."
Yu Ying shook her head: "I hate it, but I don't want to escape."
After a pause, he added softly, "I can still bear it."
Captain Gu on this side glanced at the crowd, trying to see where the only female military doctor was, but inadvertently saw a familiar back.
Did I see it wrong?
No, you read that right, it’s Fu Wei!
Why is he here?
He was actually sitting with the only female military doctor in such an intimate manner. Wasn't it true that he only had eyes for his wife? Why did he suddenly...
Suddenly I figured something out, and the look of surprise gradually cleared up.
Female military doctors were almost unheard of in the military, and he had been amazed to see him today, but he had a lot of things to deal with and hadn't given it much thought.
Now that I think about it carefully, I remember that this female military doctor is very respected by other young military doctors. The one who can be respected by these young military doctors must be the division commander.
He should have thought of it earlier. There are many female doctors studying medicine. He has only heard of one female doctor, and that is Fu Wei's wife.
He smiled but didn't disturb the couple.
The other military doctors were exhausted. Even though they were curious about who was supporting the gentleman, they did not have the energy to get up and ask.
The soldier helped the military doctor up, took him aside, and brought him warm sugar water.
After drinking a bowl of warm sugar water and resting for a while, I regained some energy.
Wei Yong walked over with weak hands and feet, looking warily at the man next to the gentleman.
After just one glance, he noticed the man's difference and seemed to understand something, so he called out, "Mr. Fu."
Fu Wei nodded at him: "Thank you for your hard work."
Wei Yong didn't say anything and returned to his original position.
After a short rest, the soldier led the doctor to the nearest inn.
Several inns near the city gate have also been requisitioned.
Any situation involving injured soldiers nearby can be dealt with immediately.
Fu Wei helped Yu Ying into the inn.
Since Wei Yong had made Fu Wei's identity clear to other military doctors, no one was curious about their relationship anymore.
As soon as they entered the guest room, someone brought hot water and food to the military doctors.
Yu Ying was tired, so she took a shower to wash off the smell of blood on her body.
When he came out from behind the screen, there was no sign of Fu Wei in the room.
She glanced at the food on the table, but didn't rush to eat it. Instead, she sat at the table and waited for him to come back.
He should just be out for a while. If he doesn't come back for a long time, he will give an explanation.
Sure enough, half a minute later, Fu Wei came into the room from outside, smelling damp. He had also changed into a set of cloth clothes and had obviously washed up.
He glanced at the untouched food on the table and asked, "Why don't you eat first?"
Yu Ying: "I want to wait for you to eat together."
Fu Wei walked to the table and sat down, poured a cup of tea, put two pairs of bamboo chopsticks into the cup and rinsed them briefly, then took them out and placed a pair on the bowl in front of Yu Ying.
Yu Ying picked up the bamboo chopsticks, and Fu Wei put a piece of meat into her bowl: "I'm sorry for making you suffer over the past month."
Yu Ying looked up at him and smiled faintly: "How do you know I've suffered? The head of Muyun Mountain knows you and me, and he hasn't treated me unfairly."
"It's a long journey, the mountain roads are difficult to navigate, the world is in chaos, and there are many unexpected events along the way. How can this not be considered suffering?"
Yu Ying lowered her head and said helplessly, "When I was in Yuzhang, I always felt that the world was peaceful. After leaving Yuzhang, I realized how cruel this world is."
He sighed softly and started eating.
No matter how much you feel sad about the passing of time, it will not change anything and will only add to your troubles.
Fu Wei understood his wife's temper and she didn't need too much advice from others.
He kept putting food into her bowl.
Both husband and wife were exhausted. After their meal, they went straight to bed without digesting the food.
Embracing each other on the couch, it wasn't cold yet in this late autumn in Lingnan, but it was a bit stuffy. She pushed him away: "Have you hugged enough?"
"not enough."
The heart that had been empty for months was finally filled tonight. Fu Wei's heart, which had been empty for a long time, finally felt satisfied. How could he let go now?
Seeing that he refused to let go, Yu Ying didn't let him go. After leaning against his chest and listening to his heartbeat for a while, she asked, "After Nankang, are you going directly back to Yuzhang, or somewhere else?"
Fu Wei: "Rest for three days. The wounded and five thousand soldiers will stay in Nankang. The rest of the soldiers will follow the general's orders and leave the city."
Where they were going should be a secret, so Yu Ying didn't continue to ask.
"We haven't taken Cangwu yet, but we have taken Nankang. This news will definitely reach the imperial city within half a month. Even if Nankang rebels and the Yuzhang army suppresses it, by the time the news reaches the new emperor, no matter what excuse they use, it will be clear in his mind that Yuzhang has rebelled. Therefore, we must speed up the conquest of Lingnan within this half month."
Yu Ying found a comfortable position in his arms, surrounded by the familiar scent of cedar, and fell drowsy.
"You don't need to tell me so much. Wherever the army goes next, our military doctors will go there."
Noticing the deep sleepiness in her voice, he patted her back from time to time: "Go to sleep."
"Um……"
He just agreed, but after a moment, he heard the sound of long and gentle breathing in his arms.
Fu Wei pecked her lightly on the forehead, then closed his eyes and fell asleep beside her.
*
The morning light shines through the window sill into the house, making it very cool.
When Yu Ying got up, Fu Wei was no longer by the bed.
She got up, stretched her slightly sore arms in front of the bed for a moment, then walked to the window, pushed open the gap and looked down at the street.
The streets were still filled with soldiers, with no sign of civilians.
Just after a quick wash, someone knocked on the door, reminding him that it was time to continue treating the injured soldiers.
The seriously injured soldiers yesterday have been sutured and bandaged, but if the injured soldiers do not receive timely treatment, they will become seriously injured.
Yu Ying didn't dare to delay. She tied her hair into a bun, wrapped a headscarf around her head, took the medical kit and left the house.
Almost all the military doctors had arrived in the lobby and were having breakfast.
Wei Yong saw Yu Ying and came over: "Sir, Mr. Fu asked me to tell you this morning that he probably won't be back during the day and will be back in the evening. If he comes back late, let you rest first."
Yu Ying looked at him in surprise: "My husband came to see you?"
Wei Yong touched the back of his head and nodded: "I found it. Let me take good care of you, sir."
In fact, he was also asked to be on guard against the fifth leader of Muyun Village and not let that person harass their master.
He also specifically explained it to Mr. Fu.
Along the way, the bandits kept pestering him, but the gentleman never gave them a word.
Mr. Fu believed it and did not blame his wife.
It seemed that Mr. Fu did not vent his anger on Mr. Wang because of the bandit, which made him feel relieved.
He knew that the woman was married, but he still kept pestering her.
What about the Fifth Boss? A bandit is a bandit, his morals are not right!
*
Today, before dawn, Fu Wei got up and went to discuss matters with Zhou Yi.
After resting for three days, they immediately set off for Guiyang County, followed by Lingling County.
They attacked Nankang City, and the two county governors were both in the city. Like the Nankang City governor, they were now under house arrest in Nankang City.
Originally, the two prefects had already surrendered to the Nankang prefect and raised the banner of rebellion. Now that Nankang City had been captured, as birds choose trees to roost in, and ministers choose masters to serve, it only took a few persuasions to subdue them.
Now we just need to gather the troops and gather them in Yuzhang.
When Fu Wei arrived at the meeting room, the fifth leader of Muyun Village was also there.
Seeing this man, Fu Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
This guy is extremely shameless. Even though Ah Ying ignored him, she couldn't stand the gossips from the crowd. What was originally the gangster's fault might become her fault in the end.
The fifth boss saw Fu Wei and took a look at him. He found that he was dressed differently today than yesterday. He was wearing a dark cloth robe, which made him look tall and handsome. He looked like a young man from a wealthy family who was waiting to die studying, but he had the natural air of a Confucian general, which made him extraordinary.
As a man, why is there such a handsome appearance? It's not masculine at all!
Fu Wei didn't know what this man was thinking. He only saw that his face suddenly became cold and gloomy. He stepped over the threshold with an unpredictable look and entered the meeting hall.
Zhou Yi saw that the two had different auras, and after hearing what Captain Gu said in the morning, he felt helpless in getting the two to shake hands and make peace.
It's really hard to interfere in matters of the heart. Besides, no man is magnanimous enough to chat and laugh with his wife's admirers.
It was a turbulent time, and it was not appropriate to clash with the people of Muyun Village. Fu Wei was not a sentimental person, and as long as he kept a close eye on the Fifth Master and prevented him from doing anything out of line, he would know his limits.
After hearing Captain Gu say that the Fifth In Command was pestering Madam Yu, Zhou Yi gave orders to assign more people from Muyun Village to handle affairs, and to call them whenever there was something to discuss, so that the Fifth In Command would not have the free time to pester anyone else.
