Yuwen Sheng raised his arm to give the order, his eyes dark and sinister: "Listen up, everyone! The woman who was abducted by the Julu Kingdom is my wife, Yuwen Sheng's wife, the wife of the Grand General of Ye Kingdom... She is me, the one they swear to protect to the very end."
The Xuanjia Army behind Yuwen Sheng was a formidable force, their steel-like bodies forming an invincible power.
"Black Armored Army, heed my command!"
His words carried such weight that Wang Zebang and Wei Yao were terrified.
——
Julu border region, Guanxian County
Mo Ye captured the group of barbarian cavalrymen and interrogated them, then took Zheng Quchi back to the border camp.
Disgusted by her blood-covered appearance, he called for someone to change her clothes.
The soldier who had just entered the tent rushed out a moment later, his face flushed with embarrassment. He stammered, "Sir...Sir, she...no, she's a woman."
Mo Ye belatedly realized this, and his lips twitched: "It's all her fault for not being womanly enough. I had completely forgotten about it."
Mo Ye isn't exactly a good person, but he wouldn't stoop to such a despicable act as to ruin someone's reputation while she's unconscious.
He sent people to nearby towns and villages to find a capable woman, preferably someone older who knew how to take care of people.
Seeing how concerned Mo Ye was about Zheng Quchi's affairs, even to the point of personally inquiring about who to arrange, the soldiers in the camp were very curious. They knew that Sima was good-looking, but his personality had some problems, and he had never had any close female companions. This was the first time such a woman had appeared... so they started spreading rumors.
"Have you heard? The seriously injured woman they brought back is Sima's lover in Ye."
"Really? What does he/she look like?"
"I haven't seen it, but the boy has. He said it has dark skin and is quite small..."
"So you're saying she's not pretty? Then Sima has taken a fancy to her?"
"Who knows? Maybe she's good at that."
"Stop talking dirty. Our Sima isn't that kind of person. You can't just focus on a woman's appearance. She must have other outstanding qualities."
"I think it's definitely true. Just the fact that she's taken a liking to our Sima clan makes me think she must be extraordinary..."
Inside the tent, the woman, her hair disheveled and wrapped in a blanket, had a flushed face but pale lips. She was delirious with fever, her whole body burning hot, yet she remained unable to regain consciousness.
After taking the girl's pulse, the military doctor pondered for a moment before asking the person standing beside him, "Sir, do you want to wake this girl up, or save her life?"
That's quite an artful way of putting it.
Mo Ye stretched out his long legs and sat down next to her, his dark eyes untamed and wild: "Don't try to play these word games with me. I want her to live and then answer all my questions soberly."
Upon hearing this request, the military doctor hesitated, muttering to himself, "Oh, that's difficult."
"What do you mean? You can't cure her?"
"In fact, the whip marks and hidden weapon wounds on her body are not that serious if they are treated in time. It's just that they have been left untreated for too long. She has lost too much blood, which has caused yang deficiency and yin excess, and internal fire to damage her body. The most fatal thing is the palm strike to her chest, which severed half of her heart meridian. She can live, but how she will live is uncertain."
When Mo Ye saw that her injuries were indeed as Yuwen Sheng had said, and that she wouldn't live much longer, his face turned extremely pale.
If Zheng Quchi really died in his tent, wouldn't Yuwen Sheng laugh at him to death if he found out?
"Would that bring her back to her senses?"
"Yes, but it's best not to for now. Waking up now will only cause her to lose her last bit of energy. Only by strengthening her foundation can she replenish her essence. As long as she is well cared for, she will naturally wake up."
Mo Ye didn't care whether Zheng Quchi lived or died, but he had devoted so much time and energy to that thing, and he couldn't be content if he didn't get what he wanted.
"Then we should get some expensive medicine to keep her alive; she can't die now."
"Actually... if Sima Ken feeds her the precious elixir that the king gave you, she might be able to recover after a few more days of good medicine and careful nurturing," the military doctor advised.
However, Mo Ye had no such intention: "Ha, how precious are the rare pills? Does she even deserve them?"
Upon hearing this, the military doctor exclaimed, "Hey, isn't this rumor that this woman is Sima's lover?"
His lover was about to die, yet he couldn't bear to part with some external things.
So it turns out that Sima not only has personality problems, but his character is also questionable.
Ugh, what a scumbag.
——
Not long after the medicine was given, Zheng Quchi slowly woke up. It was evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the gaps in the curtains. The warm but not glaring light made her feel dazed for a moment.
She was also deeply surprised by the fact that she was still alive.
She found herself lying in a tent and thought that Yuwen Sheng had taken her back. But to her surprise, someone lifted the curtain and stepped in. The tall and imposing figure was someone she had never expected.
"Why is it you?" she whispered.
Mo Ye raised an eyebrow and gave a strange smile: "Who do you think it is? Yuwen Sheng?"
Upon hearing the name, Zheng Quchi felt a chill creep through her body. Then, recalling her past, her heart sank uncontrollably. The feeling of sinking to the bottom was like being in a weightless state, causing her to experience dizziness, discomfort, and disorientation.
Why is it Yuwen Sheng who is Liu Fengmian?
This kind of thing is more absurd and frightening than the sun revolving around the earth, Sun Wukong embroidering with his magic needle, or Superman wearing his underwear inside his clothes.
"Who told you to daydream in front of me?"
Mo Ye walked to the bedside, reached out, forcefully grabbed her chin, and turned her face around.
