Chapter 755 Foolish Questions
Longjing wanted to continue complaining, but was stopped by a single sentence from the pockmarked face, and suddenly felt that what he was doing was meaningless.
Binglan was such a pitiful girl. She waited faithfully for ten years, only to be less memorable than the old lady who fried tea oil noodles in the alley...
"Fine," Longjing patted her chest. The young lady had taught her to be kind to others and to treat Wang Binglan better in the future, at least in terms of attitude.
“I brought Xiaohe here because I value her efficiency and want her to learn something from Doctor Yan.”
Lin Yuesha ate until she was half full, then washed her hands with a handkerchief and asked about Yan Yan's whereabouts.
According to what Doctor Liao said, the group encountered several groups of men in black chasing them on their way from the capital to the northwest. As a result, Yan Yan, the only one who did not know martial arts, suffered a lot and even ran to a coffin to hide, lying with the skeleton.
Even a doctor couldn't stand it.
"When the war broke out in the Northwest, the foreign soldiers slashed their swords with a notch, causing heavy losses to our side."
Xiao Qi has found craftsmen to make weapons, but due to the tight schedule, they cannot mass-produce them. Some soldiers can only use old weapons, which puts them at a disadvantage.
Yan Yan only slept for one or two hours each day, spending the rest of her time either sewing for the soldiers or teaching women who knew how to sew.
However, the effect was not obvious.
“Those older women, whether shy or seemingly brave, screamed in fright when they saw the wounded soldiers, and in the end, it was all in chaos and had little effect.”
Therefore, Yan Yan has set her sights on men who are bold and agile.
Despite the numerous difficulties, we must rise to the challenge and solve them step by step.
"By the way, Baozhu is injured. Don't tell Gu Yi yet, so as not to distract him."
Lin Yuesha sighed. She was in Qincheng, and for the time being, she hadn't yet felt the cruelty of the war. Prices in Qincheng had risen by 20% compared to the previous few months, but were currently relatively stable.
"good."
Xiao Qi nodded in agreement, but what he didn't mention was that they had lost contact with Gu Yi.
The border town has fallen, and the foreign tribes have occupied the frontier, but they have been met with resistance from the people. In the past few days, the city has been filled with bloodshed as the foreign tribes have slaughtered the people. The two sides are engaged in a fierce battle.
Gu Yi requested to lead a group to infiltrate the border and work with the local people to drive out the foreign tribes.
The foreign army numbered two to three hundred thousand, but the people on the northwestern border numbered more than a few hundred thousand. The entire population was mobilized for war, and they refused to be slaves of a conquered nation. Rising up in resistance might not be an impossible task.
This mission was dangerous, but Gu Yi was familiar with the border town, so he had no choice but to take the risk.
"I suddenly thought of a question."
Lin Yuesha took a sip of her juice and asked, "If Gu Yi finds out that Sister Baozhu is injured, seriously injured, will he come to see her?"
"No, military orders are absolute."
Gu Yi, who served in the military, was extremely particular about rules and regulations. With the war in full swing, he was focused on seizing the territory of the Great Qi and had long since forgotten about personal feelings.
Lin Yuesha was not surprised by the result. She thought that Baozhu could understand Gu Yi, but she was still disappointed.
When faced with a greater cause, one is always the one who is abandoned, but why should one do so?
"And what about you, what's your choice?"
Lin Yuesha pressed for details and realized she cared a lot about the issue.
"No one curses themselves, just be nice."
Xiao Qi stood up and patted his little sister's head. "Be good, don't make a fuss."
"I'm serious, so you should answer honestly and tell me what's on your mind."
This is a matter of attitude. Even though I know I'm the one who's going to be sacrificed, I can't shake the feeling.
"return."
Xiao Qi answered without hesitation.
This is not a problem for him, nor does it require him to worry about it.
Even if it leads to defeat in the war and the slaughter of civilians?
Lin Yuesha rubbed her eyes and stared intently at the pockmarked face's mouth. He seemed to have said he was coming back; she hadn't misheard.
"Come back, without considering anything else."
Did the defeat in the war and the massacre of civilians have anything to do with him? His original intention was simply to protect his family.
Twenty years ago, he was born without this ability. His parents and the entire Qi family were killed tragically. Twenty years later, how many relatives does he still have?
War is an unavoidable force of nature. He has no interest in territory or position; he only wants to protect his family, nothing more.
"So, don't ask silly questions like that anymore, because you'll get the same answer anyway."
Xiao Qi glanced at the sky outside, stood up, and said to Lin Yuesha, "I've arranged a few bodyguards for you. They're nearby, and they'll come out on their own if needed."
After giving all the instructions, Xiao Qi went out. Before mounting his horse, he instructed his men to send a message to Wang Binglan to the Northwest.
Just as Xiao Qi mounted his horse and left the hospital, Wang Binglan, who had received the news, chased after him with disheveled hair, shouting, "Brother Qi, wait!"
"Watch your form of address."
Facing anyone other than Lin Yuesha, Xiao Qi remained calm and corrected Wang Binglan.
"My lord."
Wang Binglan ran to the horse's head, blocking Xiao Qi's path with both hands, and said bitterly, "Why did you transfer your subordinates away from Qincheng? Was it for Lin Yuesha?"
Xiao Qi was very impatient; Wang Binglan's words implied a questioning tone.
Ten years ago, Wang Jinhu saved the brother and sister, and he has been loyal to them to the death ever since. He also trusts Wang Jinhu's sister in the same way.
He gave instructions, but Wang Binglan outwardly complied while inwardly disobeying. If she simply didn't want to serve Jiang Baozhu, he could tolerate it, and even replace her with someone else.
Wang Binglan's mistake was that she made things difficult for Lin Yuesha.
If it weren't for Bai Cha and Longjing coming to complain, he wouldn't have known that Wang Binglan was stirring things up behind his back.
Originally, his younger sister didn't trust his pseudonym. He saved her several times before she showed him any favor. Now, he's been wiped out by some insignificant person who suddenly appeared.
“I’ve been in charge of military supplies procurement. If I go back to the Northwest, I’ll need to find someone to take over the supplies.”
The northwest was windy and sandy, and war raged everywhere. Wang Binglan didn't want to go back; staying in Qincheng was much more comfortable.
"Didn't you take it upon yourself to find manpower?"
Xiao Qi squinted at Wang Binglan. He hadn't gone to settle scores with her, but instead, she had come to his door.
Time was of the essence, and he was in a hurry to leave, not wanting to waste time talking to irrelevant people.
The only patience they had was out of consideration for Wang Jinhu.
"Lin Yuesha came to you to complain?"
Wang Binglan was furious. Lin Yuesha was a despicable person, a smiling tiger. She seemed to care about nothing on the surface, but she tripped her up behind her back.
We've only been in Qincheng for two days, and already so many strange things have happened.
She's not afraid of her ten-year relationship with Brother Qi!
"My lord, Lin Yuesha is scheming. She doesn't say anything openly, but she makes things difficult for me in secret. She..."
If Lin Yuesha complains, Wang Binglan will do the same.
"Does she need to trip you up?"
Xiao Qi stared intently at Wang Binglan, as if he had heard a joke, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "She is my wife, and also your mistress."
It is only right for a master to order his servants around, and he can decide their lives and deaths. Isn't it ridiculous to say that he is trying to trip them up?
"You and she aren't married yet, who knows if something might happen..."
As soon as Wang Binglan finished speaking, she felt something cold brush against her cheek, and she instinctively covered her face.
