Chapter 269 Women Are As Good As Men
"What are you afraid of?" Song Yanxi asked instead of answering, "Aren't you still here?"
Even if there was an accident, she had knockout drugs on her, so she could save her life at the critical moment.
That’s all, but there’s no need to explain it to them in too much detail.
After hearing her say this, everyone agreed.
Only Cheng Duan felt ashamed. There were more than a dozen grown men around, but they had to rely on a weak woman like her to scare away the Liang people.
He strode to the two corpses and looked at the two arrows that hit their hearts right in the center, feeling frightened.
This... using the word "weak woman" may not be appropriate.
With such good accuracy, even the best archers in the army would be ashamed.
An ordinary woman, let alone doing it, would probably be so frightened that her legs would go weak and she would be unable to walk even if she just watched from the side.
It turns out that what those old guys in the army said was true. Women are as capable as men and are no weaker than men.
Seeing that he didn't move, Song Yanxi reminded him, "We have to leave here quickly, otherwise something bad will happen."
Huang Feng said, "These beasts not only have sharp ears, but also good noses. Its companions will soon find us."
Pulling out the arrow effortlessly, Cheng Duan wiped the corpse's clothes and said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? No matter how many come, they will die."
Huang Feng said quietly, "None of the twenty people who came to support us survived."
Cheng Duan froze, and there was murderous intent in his eyes as he looked at him.
He asked coldly, "Then why are you still alive?"
All the people who came to rescue were dead, but the people who were originally trapped are still alive. How ridiculous is that?
Although the other ten people didn't say anything, they all clenched their fists, with anger in their eyes.
They were brothers who had been through thick and thin with them, how could they all be gone in just one day?
Sensing everyone's subtle hatred, Huang Feng's already ugly expression suddenly became even uglier. He pursed his lips and said, "We didn't run into the brothers who were supposed to pick us up before."
"Stop talking nonsense!" someone said angrily, with tears clearly flashing in his eyes.
He pressed on, "If you hadn't run into them, how would you know they were in trouble?"
Huang Feng pointed in a direction not far away and said, "There's a pool over there. I saw it when I came out to look for reinforcements. My brothers are all in it."
His voice gradually softened, and he added gravely, "I counted them. There are exactly twenty of them, not one less."
"You're talking nonsense! Brother Long and the others are all very skilled, how could they all be gone?"
Song Yanxi frowned and said, "Maybe it's poisoning."
"It's poisoning."
Huang Feng explained, "I left in a hurry and only had time to check on the two brothers. They had no external injuries, only blackened lips and nails."
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and took out a purse from his chest.
Someone rushed forward, snatched it away, and said in a trembling voice, "This was embroidered by Sister-in-law Wu for Brother Wu."
Cheng Duan couldn't bear it, so he quickly walked up to Song Yanxi and asked in a low voice, "Princess, can we..."
"cannot."
Just two simple words, and everyone's eyes turned over.
There is anger, confusion, and even more helplessness after realizing that one is powerless.
But no one asked why not.
Because everyone understands what is more important right now.
Even though Cheng Duan had hesitated for a moment, after hearing what Song Yanxi said, he just silently handed the arrow in his hand to her.
When Song Yanxi got the music needle, she carried Huang Feng on her back without saying a word and continued on her way.
The others followed, leading their horses, without saying a word along the way.
Under Huang Feng's guidance, the group finally found the cave after many twists and turns.
In the cave, Lin Tingfeng, whose upper body was stripped naked, looked as red as a freshly cooked shrimp, and steam kept coming out of his body.
He lay quietly on the ground, unconscious.
The soldier who brushed past him had a broken arm, and the two men next to him who had injured their legs were twisting the handkerchief together. When they caught a glimpse of Song Yanxi's figure out of the corner of their eyes, they almost cried with excitement.
They knew that their general was saved.
But Song Yanxi just took a look from a distance and didn't take a step forward. She just took out a porcelain bottle from her bag and handed it to Cheng Duan.
He said in a cold tone, "Open his mouth and feed him one pill. If the fever persists, feed him another pill after an hour."
Huang Feng, who had regained some strength, listened from the side, frowning, "Princess, the general's condition is so serious, is just this small pill enough?"
Song Yanxi walked in quickly, without even turning her head, and said, "If you can do it, you can treat it."
Huang Feng's face darkened, and he said in a voice that everyone could hear: "I am not a military doctor, how can I treat the disease?
The general is the princess's husband after all, so even if he doesn't need acupuncture, the princess should still care about him..."
Song Yanxi interrupted coldly, "If you like, I'll give you the position of General's Wife."
"This... this is outrageous!"
Huang Feng was so angry that he stuttered. He suppressed the urge to faint and said seriously, "I am a man. How can I be the general's wife? Such absurd words are better left alone in the future."
Cheng Duan rolled his eyes and said bluntly, "I think your injuries are too minor. You still have time to teach the princess how to do things. Why do you have the right to meddle in other people's business?"
Huang Feng almost fainted when he heard this.
He had already lost too much blood and now felt extremely dizzy. He unconsciously said, "This person is really stupid."
Cheng Duan immediately laughed, and even nodded in agreement, before saying, "Everyone in the army knows that Cheng is a reckless man, without a brain."
"You..." Huang Feng's eyes turned black and he fainted.
He happened to be sitting against the stone wall in the cave. Except for his eyelids closing, he looked no different from before.
Cheng Duan thought he was angry and simply ignored him because he couldn't answer him, and he immediately perked up.
Afraid that Huang Feng couldn't hear him, he even deliberately took a few steps forward and chuckled, "Captain Huang, why are you mute? Is it because the wound on your body hurts so much that you can't open your mouth?"
He was about to say something when someone next to him reminded him, "General, the captain seems to have fainted from the pain."
"That's impossible." Cheng Duan decisively denied, "He was just talking to me."
As he spoke, he reached out and poked Huang Feng's wound.
Seeing that he just frowned and didn't wake up, Cheng Duan said with a sigh, "He really fainted. He's so small and he's going to the battlefield. He's better off hiding in the background and being a dog-headed military advisor."
"General, don't dare say that. I heard that Captain Huang is quite skilled and has saved General Lin several times on the battlefield. He is very brave."
Hearing Lin Tingfeng's name, Cheng Duan turned his head and took a look, saying with disdain: "Your body is so clean and white without even a decent scar, and you still have the nerve to say that you have been to the battlefield.
It's true that a general leads his soldiers like him. If they are all like this, how can we fight a war?"
As he spoke, he was about to take off his armor to show the people below his medals of bravery that he had received over the years.
Before he could unbutton his clothes, he heard Song Yanxi's voice coming from inside the cave, "Feed him the medicine first."
Cheng Duan was about to lament that she was still soft-hearted when she continued, "Don't burn people silly."
