The governor was extremely sad, and felt that all his worries were in vain. He yelled, "Chen Xue! You have caused me so much trouble - I cannot stand with you -"
While he was fighting with someone while holding Lu Yun, he stumbled and his face had a subtle, slightly strange expression.
This person still hasn't figured out who Chen Xue is? Could it be that he really likes Chen Xue?
…
Something happened in Luoyang City. In the middle of the night, the guests who came to the banquet were drunk and unconscious. The chief secretary of the prefect's mansion led the servants to wake up the guests one by one, but it was useless. The wine was too intoxicating, and the prefect took a concubine, a once-in-a-century event, so everyone was drunk. The soldiers of the Southern Kingdom were mixed in with the guests, servants, and the lowly people who served wine. Half of the soldiers in the prefect's mansion were drunk, and less than half were sober, but they could not stop the soldiers of the Southern Kingdom. They watched helplessly as the leader of the other side took their prefect and fled out of the mansion, heading south.
The chief secretary questioned his subordinates: "Who is that person? Why did he appear in our prefectural government, but no one knew about him?"
"Don't tell me you've never seen someone with a face like that!"
The subordinates also said bitterly: "As you said, this man is very handsome. If we really saw him, we would definitely remember him. We don't remember him, so of course we have never seen him before."
"We don't know when he entered the palace."
"Also, Madam Chen, Chen Xue... is also missing. When I was rescuing the Lord just now, I seemed to have heard something about 'affair'..."
The chief official looked at him fiercely, his eyes were cold and sharp, and the talkative people naturally shut up and dared not say more. The governor's mansion gathered troops in the middle of the night, and the general stationed in Luoyang was awakened in the middle of the night. When he learned that the governor and the fire and medicine master were gone, his face suddenly changed, and he slapped the chief official in the face.
The Chief Secretary was speechless and dared not say more.
The generals gathered their troops and chased out of Luoyang Prefecture - "Pass the order! Light the signal smoke! All nearby troops gather and chase southward!"
"We can't let the Southern Spy return to the Southern Kingdom! We can't let our Master fall into their hands."
"Notify our main forces to put pressure on the county towns in Nanyang and intensify the offensive! It's a critical moment, don't hide your tricks anymore. If we don't do our best, we will lose!"
The North wants to win this war, but it faces an embarrassing problem. They are not as financially strong as the South. They need to take advantage of the winter, when the South's army is weak and the North's army is strong, to break through the other side's defense line, seize the opportunity, negotiate with the South, and take away the land from the South. The North can't afford this war... fire. If the Medicine Master disappears, this will be their second big defeat!
Your Majesty will be furious.
Quick, quick, quick! Seize the moment and seize the opportunity!
…
The Northern Army's offensive suddenly increased significantly, and several large county cities asked for help, claiming that the Northern Army was attacking the city. Starting from the night of heavy snow, it became extremely crazy.
The war report was sent to the Wei generals, and they all asked for help, asking for troops and food. The counties wanted to resist, but they were short of reserve resources. They could only squeeze the noble families, but the noble families did not have much food in stock, and they had to support their children, so there was constant friction between the soldiers and the nobles.
At the same time, the common people also began to starve.
All resources were given priority to the army, but as time went on, the county town was trapped in heavy snow for several days, and problems with resources began to arise everywhere.
General Wei was troubled and didn't know how to deal with the crises that broke out everywhere. At this time, Luo Yan, who had returned to the South, and his cousin Luo Lingyu rushed back and forth, explaining to people everywhere and helping General Wei to ease the conflict. They helped General Wei a lot, and Luo Lingyu encouraged General Wei many times, hoping that the army would hold on for a while longer.
General Wei gnashed his teeth and said, "Damn it, the northerners are a bunch of lunatics. They are not afraid of being buried in the snow even when it snows so heavily, and they still want to fight. How can I be afraid of you? Get out of here, let's fight!"
"Stop asking me for soldiers and food... Can you fight? I'm just asking if you can go to the battlefield! As long as you have a breath left, you have to crawl to the enemy and bite them in the ass. Do you understand?"
"Everyone, cheer up! The enemy's attack suddenly intensified. Something must have happened to them. Lieutenant General Lu's plan succeeded! Lieutenant General Lu is coming back soon. We will win!"
The situation is tense, and everyone is encouraging each other, hiding their anxiety.
Luo Lingyu was still helping in the rear of the army, and together with other noble ladies, she treated the wounds of soldiers who had retreated from the battlefield. The girls in the same tent with her had been working hard for several days, their faces were pale, and their hands holding scissors were shaking slightly. They took turns to come, and they were already so tired; Luo Lingyu, however, lived in the barracks for ten hours out of twelve hours a day in order to be the first to know the news from the front line.
The usual excessive attention to detail of a lady was now forgotten.
My heart gradually became numb, and I just kept stopping the bleeding, changing the gauze, applying medicine...
Luo Lingyu rubbed her eyes, which were red from staying up late, and suddenly heard the girl next to her exclaim, "Oh no."
The kneeling girl raised her eyes and looked over. Seeing the girl's hands covered in blood, she turned her head in shock and said, "Sister Luo, we have run out of gauze and ointment. If another patient comes, how are we going to bandage him?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other girls nearby looked at the remaining herbs, then became panic-stricken and said that there were not enough medicines.
Luo Lingyu's mind was blank: "... aristocratic family..."
The girls glanced at her and said, "We are rich and powerful, but we are not a doctor. We have already paid for the medicine we can pay. If you keep asking, we won't be able to pay."
The girls had some complaints about Luo Lingyu. There was a lot of comparison between women. They might not always be impressed by Luo Lingyu, but when conflicts broke out, they would only dislike her even more. In the past, Luo Lingyu would try hard to reverse the situation, but now she was like a broken jar, and she had to do whatever they thought.
Because the Nanyang family has been severely exploited recently, the girls who can read and write and come to the military camp to bandage the wounds of the wounded are all from noble families. Luo Lingyu is on the side of the army, and it is their family that is being exploited, how can they be happy? They looked over and saw Luo Lingyu pursing her lips, and her heart was hit by a heavy iron hammer. Luo Lingyu was a bit nervous, and she couldn't help but panic at this moment. Luo Lingyu was about to think of a solution when the curtain was lifted.
