"It's not impossible." Su Wanyan didn't refuse and led him into the main room.
There are quite a few people who need their dressings changed today, so it would be good to have someone to help.
Perhaps because Su Chien had lived in the capital since childhood, he was quick to learn anything. When it came to changing the dressings for the wounded, she only had to demonstrate once before Su Chien was able to master the technique.
Because she wasn't as busy as she had been the previous days, Su Wanyan worked slowly and methodically today, grinding medicine, changing dressings, and bandaging, radiating a calm and unhurried aura.
Su Chien would occasionally glance at her, mimicking her movements and helping her out.
"Sister, why don't you ask anything?" Su Chien finally couldn't help but ask.
Su Wanyan asked curiously, "What are you asking?"
"Ask..." Su Chien wanted to say something, but he couldn't get the words out.
Of course she wanted to ask about the prince. Wasn't she curious about what Yu Nanqing was doing?
She must know that he also went to the firewood pit. Now that he has appeared in front of her, she should be curious about where Yu Nanqing has gone.
Su Wanyan was naturally curious, but when she heard Su Chien choke on his words, she laughed and said, "You see, you actually know that this is not something to talk about, right?"
Not to mention that Yu Nanqing's plan is secretive, even if asked, Su Chien would definitely not be able to explain it clearly in a sentence or two.
Otherwise, Lü Cezhong would have told her long ago.
"I feel that my sister has become much gentler." She used to be more lively.
Is it because I'm tired from taking care of the injured these past few days?
"..." Su Wanyan looked at him speechlessly: "What do you mean? When have I ever been ungentle? Or when have I ever scolded you?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant, it's just..." Su Chien thought for a while before coming up with the next words: "Sister's tone isn't as cheerful as it used to be."
It seemed to quiet down all of a sudden.
"Aren't you tired?" Su Wanyan asked, amused.
"Huh?" Su Chien was stunned: "Sister! I'm not tired!"
"I'm exhausted!" Su Wanyan said speechlessly, "I'm not as energetic as you guys, who can fly over rooftops and stay awake for days without sleep. I'm almost collapsing from exhaustion these days, and you still expect me to be all smiles all day long."
She reached out and pinched Su Chien's arm: "Don't go too far!"
Su Chien pretended to dodge: "Sister! It hurts!"
"You can still cry out in pain now?" Su Wanyan laughed.
"Why did you come to the East Sea, sister?" This was a question Su Chien had always wanted to ask, but had never had the chance to.
Of course, it was to drug the East Navy and increase their chances of victory.
"Come and see." However, Su Wanyan only uttered three words indifferently.
Su Chien pursed his lips. A war between two countries couldn't be something as simple as just coming to observe.
But Su Wanyan was unwilling to say more, and Su Chien did not press her for details.
"No unauthorized personnel are allowed inside the Governor's Mansion!" Suddenly, a faint commotion came from the main courtyard gate.
Because of the distance, Su Wanyan couldn't hear clearly and didn't pay attention to it.
Apart from wounded soldiers, outsiders were generally not allowed to enter the Governor's Mansion.
However, a moment later, the guards said righteously, "No matter what reason you give, it won't work. If you have something to say, we can pass on a message to you when General Lü returns!"
Only the guards' voices could be heard, probably because the newcomer's voice was too soft to reach inside.
Su Wanyan couldn't help but ask, "What happened at the door?"
Normally, once the guards chase them away like this, no one will dare to approach. Today, they've run into a tough one.
"Please return, young lady! Don't force us to take action!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than another sound rang out.
Su Wanyan became even more curious. Was it a woman?
Su Chien said, "Sister, don't worry, I'll go take a look!"
When Su Chien came out of the Governor's Mansion, he was startled when he saw the woman standing at the door. It was the girl he had rescued from Xiaoyao Tower. She looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with brown hair braided into two braids with colorful ribbons. Her light-colored eyes looked like crystal amber in the sunlight.
Su Chien recognized the woman, but the woman was unaware of Su Chien's existence.
He asked, "What's wrong?"
The guard bowed respectfully: "This young lady says that our general saved her life, and she has come here to express her gratitude to him."
General?
Su Chien raised an eyebrow; it seemed she was still unaware of the prince's identity.
He and the prince sneaked into Qingxuan City and caused chaos at Xiaoyao Tower, presumably because she guessed it was related to the war between the two countries.
If she didn't know Yu Nanqing's identity, why did she guess that he was a general?
They even tracked them down to the Governor's Mansion.
Just as they were on guard, they heard the woman give a slight curtsy and say, "Young master, when your general was in Qingxuan City, he rescued me from Xiaoyao Tower. My father was so grateful that he brought several carts of grain and herbs to express his gratitude."
"Herbal herbs?" Before Su Chien could speak, Su Wanyan's voice came from behind.
"Sister!" Su Chien exclaimed anxiously, "Why did you come out?!"
The two guards at the door also quickly bowed and saluted.
She slowly walked out of the door, and upon hearing the word "herbs," asked curiously, "How many herbs are there?"
From the conversation just now, Su Wanyan deduced a general idea.
Lu Cezhong had been traveling back and forth between the military camp and Chengdao Island these days, and she had never seen this woman. Si Yang had been at the front line, so the general she was talking about could not possibly be Si Yang.
The only one left who could still be called a general, but was neither in the military camp nor on the front lines, was Yu Nanqing.
Of course, Su Wanyan had also considered whether it was another major general or vanguard, but since she had already come to the governor's mansion and addressed him as "your general," the "general" she had met must have great power.
There is no one more suitable than Yu Nanqing.
“There are three carts.” The woman quickly replied, seemingly realizing that Su Wanyan held some status.
"May I have your name?"
"Xiao Daya".
The name is quite unique; it must be the name of a native of the East China Sea.
"You just said, who saved you? Where were you saved?" Su Wanyan asked again.
"Your general is at Xiaoyao Tower in Qingxuan City."
Su Wanyan waited for a while, but seeing that the woman couldn't provide any further information, she realized that the woman didn't even know Yu Nanqing's name, let alone his identity.
She had seen Qingxuan City on the East China Sea map; it was the next city on City Island and one of the important hubs of the East China Sea.
Before coming to Donghai, she had analyzed Yu Nanqing's whereabouts with Xiao Chensheng, and during that time she suspected it was Qingxuan City. Unexpectedly, she guessed correctly by accident.
So, Yu Nanqing blocked the reinforcements from the East Sea in Qingxuan City; otherwise, the East Sea court would have reacted long ago after the fighting on the island had gone on for so long.
Su Wanyan's small hand clenched slightly in her sleeve. In this battle, the absence of any one link would have been fatal.
Yu Nanqing only brought 30,000 men, and it's unknown how many were lost after entering the saltwater. His infiltration of Qingxuan City must be fraught with danger, with enemies on all sides.
