Chapter 78
Chapter 78
Since the founding of Dafeng, Dongdu has been peaceful for more than 20 years and there has never been any unrest. There was a sudden mutiny tonight and no one could react.
In the middle of the night, people gathered on the street. The guests didn't even bother to watch the opera. They all walked out of the restaurants and teahouses, looking in the direction of the inner imperial city, talking among themselves.
The gate guards are already patrolling the streets.
The common people gathered around and asked what was going on inside, "Officer, have the thieves been subdued?"
The officer reassured everyone, "They are just traitors, there is nothing to be afraid of."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and someone asked, "What kind of thief is so bold that he dares to rebel under the emperor's feet? The emperor's reputation is obvious to all. What kind of evil intentions does this person have? He wants to plunge the people of Dafeng into war again..."
"Yeah yeah......"
The officer didn't answer this time. "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. He is definitely a thief. Go back quickly. Which is more important, life or watching the fun..."
Seeing that the soldiers started to drive people away, the crowd slowly dispersed.
Two people walked out of the crowd, still discussing, "How many people in the current dynasty can lead troops to break into the city gate quietly? I heard that if it weren't for the people from the Ma Junsi who blocked the people at the inner city gate in time, it would be hard to say who would win and who would lose tonight..."
"There are a lot of rotten things here at the Xingmen, none of them are useful. It's really unlucky to rely on only 300 people from the Ma Junsi to fight..."
Wen Shu's heart was on the tip of his tongue, and he dared not listen any more. He let go of the curtain and urged the person in front of him, "Uncle Wen, hurry up."
Seeing her nervous expression, Aunt Qing comforted her, "Don't worry, madam, your son-in-law will be a lucky person."
After hearing all this, Wen Shuse couldn't feel relieved anymore. His voice changed tone with anxiety. "Aunt, if anything happened to him, how could I live in peace in this life? If I had known last night, I would have gone into the house and said everything I needed to say."
Wen Shuse regretted so much that her intestines turned green. "There is no other woman like me in the world. First, I stabbed him with a knife, and then I drank a pot of wine the other day, which almost angered him to death." The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was sorry for him. "If he can come back safely this time, he can do whatever he wants. I will never force him again."
Aunt Qing continued to persuade her: "Madam, please don't blame yourself for now. Your son-in-law is very smart. He was able to escape intact from the prince's territory before. Now he is under the feet of the emperor of Dongdu, how could he get into trouble..."
Having said that, when the carriage arrived at the military camp, Aunt Qing couldn't help but feel scared when she saw the wounded coming in and out and the scene was chaotic.
Wen Shuse got off the carriage and hurried into the room. As soon as he gave Xie Duyu's name, he saw the guard with a sad face. Without saying a word, he led the person in.
Wen Shuse's legs went limp.
Along the way, I encountered several waves of stretchers covered with white cloth. I wanted to look but didn't dare to, for fear that once the white cloth on the stretcher was removed, I would see my husband's face.
The arrow on Xie Shao's shoulder had been removed, disinfected, applied with medicine, and bandaged. Although there was no injury to his vital parts, some physical pain was inevitable.
The man lay in bed and closed his eyes tiredly, but his wound hurt and his head was throbbing, so he couldn't fall asleep at all.
Min Zhang was also injured. After knowing that Xie Shao was fine, he went downstairs to find a military doctor to bandage him, while Zhao Huai stayed behind to guard the door.
Just as he pushed open the door and went out with a basin of blood, he heard some noise in the corridor. He looked up and saw a guard leading a young lady hurriedly coming down the hall.
Although it was the middle of the night, the military camp was full of lights and it was as bright as day.
The young lady was wearing a snow-white skirt, a burgundy floor-length belt, and cut ice silk. She walked past a pile of messy swords and guns, her skirt swaying in the wind, like a fairy jumping out of a painting.
Zhao Huai was stunned. He knew who it was without having to guess who could find this place in the middle of the night.
Previously, the people under him had heard that the newcomer Xie Duyu was already married, and they had discussed privately what kind of young lady could be worthy of the leader's peerless beauty.
Now that I have seen it, I finally understand that I am still inexperienced.
There really are young ladies in this world who are worthy of the master, one is pretty, the other is beautiful. God is indeed partial, and all the favors fall on the boss.
When he saw someone approaching, he came to his senses, quickly retracted his gaze, stood respectfully, and called out, "Madam."
Wen Shuse didn't bother to answer him. She stared at the basin in his hand with a look of extreme sorrow. Before Zhao Huai could react, she rushed in and cried, "My dear, I'm late..."
Before Zhao Huai could remind him, the person had already gone in and just stood there in shock.
Almost at the moment the young lady opened her mouth, the person lying on the couch inside opened his eyes immediately, but closed his eyes again the moment someone broke in.
At this time, I probably didn't expect the young lady to come. I didn't plan to tell her because I didn't want her to worry, but she came anyway. I actually felt relieved and expectant.
In the valley of South City, he was in danger. The moment she came to find him, she excitedly threw herself into his arms and cried bitterly.
Now that I'm so seriously injured and lying here, I don't know what will happen to her.
But he is so anxious, he must be worried.
Money, fame and fortune are valuable, but compared to a living life, they are too insignificant. If the suffering I have endured can bring back her conscience, it will not be a loss.
As the saying goes, you will only cherish something when you lose it. When she experiences the feeling of losing herself again, she will think of his goodness and reflect on how inappropriate the words she said to him were.
Zhao Huai was afraid of disturbing his rest, so he only left one lamp in the room, and the bed was placed against the wall, making the light even darker.
After Wen Shuse entered the room, he looked around before finding the person. At first glance, that face was the most obvious one on the body.
Too white.
Wen Shuse was really scared this time and cried. She tiptoed forward, trying to give herself courage. Even if she really saw the King of Hell, he was still her husband and would not harm her. But she was also afraid that he would not wake up. She trembled and moved to the bedside, not daring to look. She closed her eyes and grabbed his arm, shaking it, "My dear, wake up, open your eyes and look at me..."
After calling for a long time, the person on the couch didn't move.
After he touched the person, he seemed not to be so scared anymore. He opened his eyes and saw the face clearly from close up. It was really bloodless. Even the lips were white and cracked. He sobbed even harder, "My dear, don't scare me. Don't you have a lot of knives hidden on you? Last time on the boat, you cut the assassin's throat with a "click". You looked so majestic. I still remember it. In Nancheng, even the prince couldn't do anything to you. How come you fell into such a big fall this time and fell into the gutter..."
Hearing the crying, the young lady was so grief-stricken that she probably really thought he was dead, and continued to hug him and rock him, "My dear, I am your wife, please don't abandon me, I was wrong..."
My brain was almost shaken by her, but I tried to hold my breath, waiting for her to continue talking about where she went wrong.
But before he could continue, he was suddenly slapped twice on the face.
Xie Shao was extremely shocked. He had never expected that the young lady would be so cruel as to kill him even though he was already in such a state. After the young lady pinched his arm twice, he finally couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "Don't scream, I'm not dead yet."
The young lady stopped talking in an instant, even her crying, and stared at him blankly, waiting for him to open his eyes.
Both cheeks still hurt, and so did his arms. Xie Shao really didn't want to look at her. He opened his eyes but didn't glance at her face. He no longer had any hope. "I'm sorry, I disappointed you by not dying."
How could he think like that?
Wen Shuse quickly shook his head, his heart panicking, not knowing why, he blurted out, "No, I just want to know how to address you, my dear..."
Xie Shao was stunned for a moment, then he looked over. The young lady looked even more radiant after not seeing her for a day. Then he understood what she meant from her innocent big eyes.
The young lady was vindictive and heartless. Even when she was about to die, she didn't let him go and even stabbed him in the heart.
Apart from her drunken misconduct, the two hadn't had a good conversation for several days. Now that they had spoken, it seemed like the situation was making matters worse and would never get better.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to poison her to make her mute or poke my own ears out to make them deaf.
My chest felt tight and my breathing became rapid.
Wen Shuse seemed to realize how life-threatening his words were, and quickly apologized, "My dear, don't be angry. No matter what your last name is, you are still my dear."
She should stop talking and let him fend for himself.
He turned his head away and stopped looking at her, nor did he want to talk to her anymore, for he was afraid that he might not die from the prince's arrow, but would be killed by the young lady's mouth.
Wen Shuse was extremely happy, knowing that her husband was not dead and was still alive and well made her happier than anything else.
Regardless of whether he was willing to pay attention to her or not, she started to busy herself and considerately took care of him, "Are you thirsty, my dear?"
Without waiting for his nod, she considerately placed a pillow under the back of his neck to prop him up, carefully handed the cup of water to his mouth, and whispered, "My dear, don't drink too much at once. Take your time and don't choke. Moisten your lips first..."
After feeding him the water, she asked him again, "Are you hungry, my dear?" Without waiting for his answer, she stood up and left the room. She quickly came back and found two peaches from somewhere. She peeled them with a knife, cut them into small pieces, and stuffed them into his mouth one by one. "Are they sweet?"
The young lady's attentiveness temporarily alleviated the psychological harm caused by her mouth.
Suddenly I realized that as long as she didn't talk, she wasn't such a bad person...
"I know my husband is in pain and can't sleep. When I was a child, my brother had a fight with someone and was stabbed in the back. He screamed in the middle of the night and insisted that I stay by his side and talk to him. He said that as long as he heard my voice, the pain would be gone. Later I found out that I read to him for half the night, but he didn't listen at all and fell asleep a long time ago..."
After experiencing a life-and-death experience and being at the gates of hell, his body was too weak. Listening to the young lady's voice, the pain seemed to gradually subside and he became more and more sleepy.
An unknown amount of time had passed before Wen Shuse, noticing the fatigue on her husband's face, stopped talking and moved slightly closer to look at the gauze wrapped around his chest. The blood had seeped out layer by layer, and the injury was no less serious than Pei Qing's last one.
It must be very painful.
She raised her hand and used her small palm to fan him gently and slowly.
I don’t know if it worked, but my husband finally fell asleep.
It was a long night. When Xie Shao opened his eyes again, it was already bright outside. The pain in his chest was particularly obvious when he woke up. He turned around to call Min Zhang in, and was surprised to see that the young lady was still there.
The man was lying on his bed, sleeping soundly.
The half of the face that was pressed on the arm had been deformed. At this time, the mouth was slightly open. Although the mouth was small, the lips were rosy and plump.
Look at that silly look, he must have been lying there all night.
My heart suddenly felt warm. In several life-and-death situations, the young lady was always by my side. Compared with this friendship, everything that happened before seemed nothing to worry about.
I even had the thought of despising myself.
So be it, she is snobbish. Which girl is not snobbish? At worst, I will try my best to satisfy her in the future. It is not bad to get this moment of reward.
The babies are here, woo woo woo, I went to get my shoulders done today, they are a little short, I will give you 100 red envelopes~
