Chapter 359 I'll Bite You to Death
Dugu Yu fed Qin Qingyao porridge while calmly saying, "It's nothing major military matter. It's just that the Yanling Army's barracks need to be relocated. I'll ask your third brother to take some of the brothers to check it out first."
"Relocation? Why do we need to relocate when this place is fine?"
Dugu Yu said as a matter of course, "I've been here for too long, and too many outsiders know about this place, so it's inevitable that there will be some trouble."
"Also, the training ground here has outdated facilities that can no longer meet their daily training needs. Therefore, it would be better to replace it."
"Oh." Qin Qingyao nodded, not quite understanding. This kind of serious matter was not something she could interfere with, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Dugu Yu saw Qin Qingyao finish a large bowl of porridge obediently, and was happier than if he had eaten all the delicacies. He wiped her mouth and asked, "Are you full?"
"Yeah, I'm full."
"I'll go see if your medicine is ready. Go lie down on the bed for a while and don't run around."
Qin Qingyao had a face full of bitterness and hatred, "Can I go for a walk?"
"No, the military doctor said you must not touch the wound. You are not allowed to get out of bed until I come back!"
Qin Qingyao really wanted to roll her eyes. Her injury was on her chest. She was walking around, not crawling. How could she touch the wound?
But she also knew that Dugu Yu was worried about her, so in order not to cause him trouble, she had to compromise, "Then come back and accompany me soon, I'm so bored alone."
Dugu Yu kissed Qin Qingyao gently on the forehead and said, "I'll be back within an incense stick of time. I promise."
Dugu Yu handed the bowl and spoon to his subordinates as soon as he went out, and then asked Jin Feiang to go and check on Qin Qingyao's medicine in person, while he himself went to Qin Yuelin's tent.
In the past half month, Qin Yuelin has lost a lot of weight and looks very haggard.
At first, Qin Yuelin saw that his younger sister was injured so badly, he really didn't dare to go over to see her. He was afraid that he would show something that would arouse Qin Qingyao's suspicion, and he was afraid that he would not be able to help but let her know that something had happened to the Qin family, which would irritate her and kill her.
So after Qin Qingyao woke up, he could only stand outside the door for a while at best to listen to her talking to Dugu Yu, or wait until she fell asleep and then go in to take a peek.
Seeing his sister's complexion getting better day by day and finally out of danger, Qin Yuelin felt relieved.
But at this time, he wanted to see Qin Qingyao, but Dugu Yu did not allow it.
In fact, from the very beginning, Dugu Yu had no intention of letting Qin Yuelin meet her.
Qin Yuelin knew what Dugu Yu meant. Whether in public or in private, he should listen to Dugu Yu.
Because he knew how worried Dugu Yu was about his little sister, and he knew what Dugu Yu had done for Qin Qingyao. He didn't even show up at the funeral of the previous emperor, and he didn't care about the new emperor's ascension to the throne.
Qin Yuelin didn't need to go out and ask, he knew how people in the world would criticize the once powerful King Wu Ling, a great general with great military achievements. They must have thought that Dugu Yu wanted to rebel.
But in fact, he was just guarding his princess, that's all.
He served Qin Qingyao day and night, so how could he have the time to plot a rebellion? He even learned to cook and make medicine by himself. He didn't even care about or want the title of the king of a different surname or the great general. How could he possibly want to rebel and become emperor?
Qin Yuelin accepted all of Dugu Yu's arrangements. Although he was also worried about Qin Qingyao, he believed that if there was only one person in the world who could take good care of her, that person would definitely be Dugu Yu.
Even if he was Qin Qingyao's biological brother, he could not do even one tenth as well as the prince.
Dugu Yu didn't let Qin Qingyao know the situation in Yulin City, and didn't let her know that the Qin family members were in the Heavenly Prison and their future was worrying. Qin Yuelin had no choice but to cooperate.
He had also made up his mind that no matter what happened in the future, he, as the son and brother, should be the one to take charge, and he should not drag his younger sister into it.
With the prince around, he felt relieved. Qin Yuelin believed that even if the Qin family was really doomed this time, at least, their youngest son had the prince, and at least their Qin family and she would be safe, and that would be great.
"Ling Jingyu ascended the throne two days ago and issued an edict invalidating the military talisman in my hand and handing over the command of the 200,000 troops in the Northwest Camp to Lu Chengxu."
"How could this happen? Is the prince going to..."
Dugu Yu sneered, "Don't panic. This isn't your first day in the military camp. Do you think the military token that can command 200,000 soldiers is something you can just throw away or replace with a new one? He won't be able to execute it in three months!"
"Then what are your plans, Your Majesty?"
"You must immediately count your men and horses, and at midnight tonight, lead three battalions of brothers to the southwest to find a new place to stay."
Three battalions, that is, 3,000 people, which is three-fifths of the Yanling army.
Qin Yuelin looked at Dugu Yu in disbelief. Now the Yanling military camp was surrounded by Yang Tingxiao's troops. If they left at this time, wouldn't they be trying to break out?
In this way, the charge of rebellion is a foregone conclusion!
"General Yang's place..."
"That's why I let you go out at night. He's not in the army for the time being, so the security outside shouldn't be very strict. It would be best if you could sneak out. If you have to, then do it."
"yes!"
Dugu Yu took out a wooden box and handed it to Qin Yuelin. "Here is the military token that Ling Jingyu declared invalid. Take it, and when you go out, send someone to find the whereabouts of Prince Duan, and then give this to him."
"Prince Duan? But His Royal Highness Prince Duan is not..."
"Dead? Do you believe it?"
Qin Yuelin, “…”
"A idiot like Ling Jingyu could ascend the throne. If he really dies so easily, then I'll just assume I misjudged him. Besides, your eldest brother is missing. Once you find Prince Duan, maybe you can find his whereabouts."
"Yes! I understand."
Dugu Yu didn't believe from the beginning that Ling Jingxuan would die, and Qin Yuefeng's disappearance was the most direct proof. He believed that Qin Yuefeng must have helped Prince Duan escape.
However, Qin Yuefeng probably didn't expect Ling Jingyu to be so ruthless and directly capture the entire Qin family. That's why he left and never showed up again.
They must be looking for an opportunity to counterattack now. Under the current circumstances, Ling Jingxuan is definitely a thousand times more anxious than Dugu Yu.
However, a lot of the forces he had secretly cultivated had already been destroyed by the prince. Even if there were still people in the dark now, it might not be possible to mobilize them in time.
Dugu Yu had planned to return the 200,000 soldiers and horses to the late emperor a long time ago. Now that he is giving them to Ling Jingxuan, it can be regarded as returning them to their original owner. The prerequisite is that His Royal Highness the Prince Duan must not disappoint people!
As soon as Qin Yuelin left with the military token, Jin Feiang came over with a medicine bowl, "Your Highness, the princess's medicine is ready."
Dugu Yu returned to the tent with the medicine bowl and saw Qin Qingyao lying obediently on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze, her legs kicking around dishonestly, and she kicked the quilt to the ground.
Hearing the movement at the door, she turned her head, showing a big smile, and sat up suddenly, "Husband, you are back."
Dugu Yu saw her actions and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, "I told you not to do that. It will hurt the wound!"
"Oh." Qin Qingyao lowered her head and twirled her fingers to admit her mistake, like a child waiting for criticism from her parents.
Dugu Yu couldn't bear to see this, so he walked over and touched her head. Qin Qingyao frowned when she smelled the medicine. She didn't want to drink it because it was too bitter.
But she had already made Dugu Yu worried, and she didn't want to bother him anymore, so she pinched her nose and took a gulp. After drinking it, her whole face wrinkled, which made Dugu Yu feel very distressed.
I quickly brought her the prepared honey water and said, "Come, rinse your mouth first."
"Oh, honey, my wound is almost healed. You don't have to worry about me all the time. Also, how long do I have to drink this medicine?"
Dugu Yu looked at Qin Qingyao very seriously and said softly, "The military doctor said that you have injured your heart and lungs. Do you know how serious that is?"
"Your injury isn't just the scar on your chest. What really worries me is somewhere invisible."
"I know these medicines are bitter and hard to drink, but in order to truly heal your body and avoid any aftereffects that will cause you suffering in the future, can you hold on for a few more days?"
Qin Qingyao looked at Dugu Yu's gentle and serious eyes, and suddenly her nose felt sore. She put her arms around Dugu Yu's neck and leaned on his shoulder, not wanting him to see her red eyes.
She had seen how Dugu Yu had been going through the past ten days, and she would never forget it. She believed that no one else in the world could treat her as well as Dugu Yu did.
The injury was on her body, but Dugu Yu was so sad that he felt like he was going to die. She was also very scared. She didn't want him to worry anymore, so she was always very obedient and wanted to recover as soon as possible.
That's why she kept emphasizing that she was fine, because she didn't want him to continue worrying about her.
However, considering how much Dugu Yu cares about her, he will probably be worried about this scar for the rest of his life. How can it be so easy to comfort her?
Qin Qingyao was moved, but she said in a muffled voice, "Now you know how I feel when I see those wounds on your body. How could anyone not take care of their body like you do?"
"The kingdom belongs to the Ling family, and you are mine. You are not allowed to risk your life to conquer the world for others!"
"good."
Dugu Yu answered very straightforwardly, but Qin Qingyao was not satisfied with it. She still lay on Dugu Yu's shoulder and poked his shoulder with a finger.
"And this, if you dare to block a knife for someone else and get yourself hurt again, I'll bite you to death!"
Dugu Yu recalled the time when he blocked the knife for Lin Xiafeng, but he could no longer clearly recall the situation when he was injured. He only remembered that when Song Xunyi helped him to the carriage, Qin Qingyao said to him with a cold face, "Get out."
At that time, he was just a little stunned and didn't take it too seriously, but when he thought about the scene now, he felt a chill all over his body.
