After Zhang Zhaoci finished speaking, Xu Di, who was lying there unable to move, said weakly, "Mother, I want to eat too."
Zhang Zhaoci said with a smile, "What do you want to eat? You should eat something light for the next few days. People who have suffered internal injuries should not eat too much oily food."
Xu Di and Xu Rao were among the last to evacuate. While running down from the city wall, they lost their footing and fell, displacing some of their internal organs. Fortunately, they managed to protect their heads. Xu Rao, however, was not so lucky. He fell down with Xu Di and hit his head. It was only thanks to the desperate efforts of the guards that the father and son were brought back. Otherwise, they might have become prisoners of the Northern Di.
Those things are too painful to recall. Zhang Zhaoci feels that the fact that her family can be together now is the luckiest thing. She's injured, but she can recover slowly; it's not a big deal.
Xu Rao also woke up, but dared not open his eyes. As soon as he opened them, he felt dizzy and nauseous. He knew he had suffered a concussion. With his eyes closed, he asked softly, "Honey, when will I get better? It's so uncomfortable."
Zhang Zhaoci said, "Take it easy and let him recover. You guys are really lucky this time. Otherwise, we would be an orphan and a widow. My newborn son would have no father or brother. We are lucky that we can recover and have a postpartum period in a tent together."
Xu Rao said, "Then you can prescribe me some medicine, will that help me recover faster?"
Zhang Zhaoci said, "Then you have to wait for me to recover properly. I just gave birth. I was busy all day before giving birth, and I almost didn't have the strength to give birth. I fainted after giving birth and had to be carried all the way here in the cold wind. Old Xu, I am an older mother, and my body is very weak now."
Xu Rao quickly begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, please stop talking, I feel more and more nauseous, I want to throw up."
Qingmiao had already pulled a ceramic basin out from under the bed for him, saying, "Third Master, you can just vomit into this basin."
Xu Rao couldn't hold it in any longer and started vomiting into the basin. She hadn't eaten properly for two or three days, so there was nothing left in her stomach to vomit. In the end, she even vomited bile. The feeling was just too unpleasant.
After Xu Rao finished vomiting, Qing Miao quickly took the basin out to clean it up. The tent wasn't big, with three beds inside, and with all these people, the filth couldn't be left inside without timely cleaning.
It wasn't until midnight that Wei Lang finally dealt with the Northern Di people. He had actually made private contact with the fourth prince of the Northern Di. The fourth prince wasn't very prominent in the Northern Di royal court, but he was the most cunning and patient of the five princes. Although the Northern Di had connections with people in the capital, Wei Lang used his private connections to meet with this prince named Haswula directly near Yanmen Pass.
Haswula's mother was a maid in the Northern Di royal court. After the Northern Di king forced her to sleep with him, Haswula was born.
Unlike the other princes, Hasula did not have a powerful maternal family and was bullied from a young age. However, Hasula gradually tempered his character through these hardships. When he came of age, the daughter of the chief of the largest tribe in the Northern Di royal court insisted on marrying him and brought a generous dowry.
After Hasiula got married, he slowly began to plan his succession to the throne of the Northern Di. His brothers fought each other openly and secretly because of their powerful maternal or in-law families. Although his in-law family was also very powerful, he always remained indifferent and was an inconspicuous figure. But it was this inconspicuous figure who caught Wei Lang's eye.
After making contact with Haswula, Wei Lang helped stop Uliji inside Yanmen Pass. The Northern Di royal court had been criticized by the various tribes of Northern Di because Uliji and his elder brother Tan had led the elite troops of Northern Di deep into Daliang. They were their most promising sons, and now they had gone with them. No one knew if they would ever return. If it were for their own tribe, no one would have any complaints, but this time everyone could see very clearly that it was purely for the sake of the Fifth Prince.
Hasiula used this opportunity to launch a coup, forcing the Northern Di King to hand over power and placing his brothers under house arrest. He then announced that he would negotiate with the Liang garrison at Yanmen Pass to release the captured Northern Di soldiers.
With the current low birth rate, coupled with the impact of various diseases and natural disasters, every country takes population very seriously. Originally, it was thought that those people were going to die after being arrested, but who knew that they could be released again? This was a pleasant surprise, and with this, Hasula won over a group of people.
After Wei Lang finished his business, he came to the Xu family's tent. The Hexi County was in ruins because of the people led by Wuliji. Now, how to resettle the people who were evacuated from the Hexi County is still a big problem.
Looking at the Xu family, Wei Lang felt great admiration and said, "Lord Xu, I will submit a memorial to the Emperor to recommend you for merit. Your family has made tremendous contributions to Yanmen Pass."
Xu Rao waved his hand; his concussion was still very serious, and he didn't even want to open his eyes.
Wei Lang said, "Lord Xu, I came here to discuss with you how to settle our people. The weather is cold now, and it's not a good idea to keep living in tents. There aren't enough barracks either. What do you think we should do?"
