Ling Qi shook his head, "Second Uncle, Xiao Yan didn't come."
Because he didn't see Ling Ba's figure either.
He frowned.
"I estimate that Ling Ba escorted him back to Baiyang."
My inner hope was shattered once again by cruelty.
He and Qiu Dafu were equally hopeful that Qiu Yan would come to treat the general's illness.
Qiu Dafu sighed. He wanted to find his eldest niece, but he didn't know where she was now.
"Hahaha... Brother Yuan, you've finally arrived!" A rough laugh rang out from not far away.
Captain Yuan finally arrived, and he was also excited.
As they approached, the carriages came to an abrupt stop.
Ling Qi, Ling Yun, and Ling Zhi immediately went to check the gunpowder that Captain Yuan had brought.
"So many, and they're all finished products? Captain Yuan, you guys are amazing." Ling Qi was extremely excited.
He glanced again at the horses beneath the six hundred soldiers, and a question arose in his mind.
He knew they had taken all the horses with them when they returned.
He stepped forward and stroked the lead warhorse.
"Where did these horses come from?" These horses are of excellent breed; they are clearly top-quality warhorses.
Ling Yun and Ling Zhi also became curious about the horse.
The moment Qiu Dafu saw the gunpowder, his eyes, which had been gloomy for many days, finally lit up.
Thinking of his wife far away at home, he made a decision: he would go home regardless of whether the general woke up or not.
Liu'er is still waiting for him at home.
Liu'er must resent herself a lot.
He turned and went back to his tent to say goodbye to the general.
At this moment, with Captain Yuan returning with gunpowder, most of his worries were relieved.
"These horses..." Captain Yuan had no idea where Miss Qiu had gotten such fine warhorses.
They traveled at breakneck speed. "We have a lot to do with Miss Qiu Yan," Captain Yuan said, glancing around.
"I knew it was her." Ling Qi secretly praised. Ling Yun and Ling Zhi didn't have much of an impression of Qiu Yan, but seeing the horse at this moment, they also secretly praised her.
"Where is the general?" Captain Yuan asked.
Upon hearing the name of the general, the smiles of Captain Qin and the others vanished.
Ling Yun and Ling Zhi lowered their heads silently as they pulled the gunpowder-laden carriage, preparing to take it to a safe place.
Inside the tent, Gu Qian lay quietly, still not awake.
The old military doctor was beside him, extremely anxious and worried.
Thanks to the general's own wound medicine, and also thanks to his good constitution,
If it were an ordinary person, they would have perished long ago.
Qiu Dafu brought over a warm handkerchief and wiped Gu Qian's face.
I lifted the covers and glanced at the bruises on his left arm—bruised, swollen, and red.
He sighed and lowered his eyes.
"General, General!" Led by Ling Qi, Captain Yuan rushed into the tent and saw the general's peaceful yet pale face as he slept.
Qiu Dafu stepped back and silently went to brew the medicinal soup.
"What's wrong, General?" Captain Yuan looked at Ling Qi and saw Ling Qi shaking his head helplessly.
Qin Colonel: "To cover our retreat, the general was pursued and attacked by thousands of troops from the Western Qin with fire."
The general lured their army away, but was then hit by their artillery fire and seriously wounded.
"A general all alone? Facing thousands of troops, and they even have artillery fire?" The general is truly formidable.
Commander Yuan was both surprised and furious, but his admiration for Gu Qian only grew stronger.
After slowly examining the general's injuries, he was furious: "These scoundrels!"
He stood at the head of Gu Qian's bed.
"General, you will definitely be alright."
He carefully took out an exquisite wooden box from his pocket.
"General, this is a gift from Miss Qiu."
