Mu Wenhai overheard Su Renzhong's words from inside the tent and became even more curious.
Judging from this, the two had known each other for a long time. But how could Su Renzhong have met any woman at the border, and be so familiar with her?
Mu Wenhai then thought of the time when Su Renzhong had been missing for half a month and returned covered in injuries.
Could it be that Su Renzhong encountered some accident during his disappearance and was rescued by this girl, thus developing feelings for her?
Just as Mu Wenhai was imagining the wonderful scene of a beauty saving a hero, Su Renzhong had already come out of the tent at some point and was standing in front of him with his eyes half-closed.
"Ahem~" Mu Wenhai felt guilty under Su Renzhong's probing gaze and quickly coughed, "How is she? Is the girl seriously ill?"
Su Renzhong glared at him and pulled him aside: "You stand guard at the door for me, guard her, and don't let anyone in except the military doctor."
Su Renzhong turned to leave as he spoke, but Mu Wenhai quickly grabbed him again: "No, what's the point of me looking at your own woman if you don't even want to?"
Mu Wenhai's words, "your own woman," instantly softened Su Renzhong's expression: "I have something to do, could you look after her for me? I'll be right back."
Su Renzhong left after speaking, while Mu Wenhai was completely stunned.
He just said "your own woman," and Su Renzhong didn't even refute it. What does that mean?
This proves that she really was Su Renzhong's woman.
Thinking about it this way, Mu Wenhai was genuinely happy for Su Renzhong.
After all these years, Su Renzhong is almost thirty, and he finally has a woman.
But what's wrong with this woman? How could her injuries be so severe?
Mu Wenhai was genuinely worried that something might have happened to the woman Su Renzhong had gone to so much trouble to find, so he called over several military doctors to inquire again: "What's wrong with that woman inside... what's her condition? How badly is she injured?"
The military doctors were surprised that even General Mu was so concerned about the girl the General had brought back. They dared not neglect their duties and immediately reported, "That girl was stabbed in the chest, and the wound was poisoned. However, the General treated it in time, and we only managed to treat it slightly better. Although her external wound is serious, it has not damaged her heart. The most serious injury is to the back of her head. We also stitched up the external wound to the back of her head, but we are too weak to help with the internal injuries to her brain!"
Mu Wenhai frowned, not expecting the girl's injuries to be so serious: "I just heard you say that she might not make it?"
The military doctors sighed and said, "It depends on the girl herself. If she can wake up in time, her life will be fine. If she doesn't wake up in three days, then it will be dangerous."
Mu Wenhai understood; it seemed the situation was indeed very critical.
In such a critical moment, why didn't Su Renzhong stay by their side? What was he doing running off like that?
He waved to the military doctors: "Alright, you can continue preparing the medicine. Make sure to use the best medicine!"
Since they're going to retreat anyway, the good medicine can be given to this girl to prevent her from losing her life because she didn't receive the good medicine.
"Yes." Actually, even without Mu Wenhai's instructions, the military doctors, seeing how much their general valued this young lady, dared not neglect her and had already brought out their best medicine.
Just as the military doctors were about to leave, Mu Wenhai remembered something and pulled them aside to ask, "By the way, what does this girl look like?"
"This..." The military doctors seemed to have collectively imagined some wonderful scene, and they all showed expressions of fascination.
The expressions on their faces confused Mu Wenhai: "What's wrong with you all? What's with those expressions?"
The military doctors came to their senses.
"beautiful!"
"So beautiful!"
"Absolutely beautiful!"
"As beautiful as an angel!"
The military doctors gave their answers all at once, but their answers were surprisingly consistent!
...The answers from the group left Mu Wenhai completely bewildered.
A bunch of ignorant fools, what do they mean by beautiful, as beautiful as an angel?
Mu Wenhai also knew that these people in the military camp would not see a female creature all year round, and if a woman was brought over, they would say she was beautiful.
She's probably only slightly more pleasing to the eye than the average woman, yet they're already using terms like "as beautiful as an angel" to describe her.
Mu Wenhai waved at them dismissively, and the military doctors then withdrew.
The military doctors left, but Mu Wenhai remained standing guard at the entrance of Su Renzhong's tent.
It's clear that Su Renzhong values this girl highly. Since she's been entrusted with this task, he has to take good care of her.
Just as Su Renzhong was about to ride his horse out of the camp, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the camp gate: "General."
Su Renzhong frowned and glanced at the soldier.
The soldier immediately reported, "General Xiliang came to our camp earlier, saying he wanted to see you."
Upon hearing this, Su Renzhong immediately asked nervously, "When did this happen?"
"It was during the day today, around dusk, not long after you left the camp." They should have reported this when the general returned to camp, but he rushed in like a gust of wind, and they didn't have time to report it.
Afterwards, they went to the general's tent and saw many military doctors inside, but they didn't dare to disturb them rashly, since it wasn't anything important anyway.
Su Renzhong frowned. What did the Western Liang general want with him at the military camp? Could it be about Duanmu Junyu?
Perhaps this person discovered that Duanmu Junyu was missing, or perhaps Duanmu Junyu told this person that she wanted to meet him, so she came to him instead of Duanmu Junyu.
Did she say anything?
"She saw our camp packing up and asked if Dong Chu had withdrawn its troops. We didn't dare answer directly, but she seemed to know we had withdrawn. She also said that Xi Liang had withdrawn its troops as well, and asked us to tell you that Xi Liang and Dong Chu would fight another day. After saying that, she left." The soldiers didn't dare to miss any information and told everything in detail.
Su Renzhong felt a pang of pain when he heard that Xiliang had also retreated.
It was she who gave the order, and she really did withdraw her troops. But just when things were about to be resolved satisfactorily, this happened.
With a heavy heart, Su Renzhong turned his horse around and galloped towards the Xiliang army camp.
The military camps of Dongchu and Xiliang were not far apart, and Su Renzhong arrived at the Xiliang military camp half an hour later.
The place was in complete disarray, with not a single tent left. It seemed that the Western Liang had truly withdrawn their troops, and withdrawn completely.
Su Renzhong circled the camp once, then turned his horse around and headed towards Xiliang.
Since the person who harmed Duanmu Junyu was her relative, he wouldn't seek revenge on her privately. That person should still be left to Duanmu Junyu. Now that Duanmu Junyu is unconscious, he's just going to Xiliang to find out the situation on her behalf.
