The next day, Dongfang Hao was about to lead his troops into battle. Chu Qingxuan, dressed in armor, nimbly mounted her horse and said, "I'll go with you."
Dongfang Hao looked at Chu Qingxuan with a stern gaze.
"You only need to be in logistics; that's a military order."
Chu Qingxuan asked, "What happens if I disobey military orders?"
Dongfang Hao frowned. Had he spoiled her too much? She even dared to disobey military orders.
Seeing Dongfang Hao's grim expression, Chu Qingxuan changed her tune and said, "Military orders are absolute, I will obey."
Chu Qingxuan dismounted and watched helplessly as Dongfang Hao rode away.
Seeing this, Yue Jinyun came over to comfort Chu Qingxuan, "General Dongfang has been fighting for many years, he will be fine."
Chu Qingxuan nodded, "I hope so."
The location of this battle is strategically important, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Dongfang Hao is at a disadvantage, and if he fails, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Chu Qingxuan's concerns were not unfounded.
Dongfang Hao's mission was to cross the canyon, rendezvous with the reinforcements outside, and bring back supplies. This canyon happened to be the border between the Chu Kingdom and the Long Kingdom.
When Dongfang Hao passed by, the entire canyon was eerily silent.
It's just too quiet.
Dongfang Hao stopped the group and glanced at the canyons on both sides, quickly realizing something was wrong.
"Retreat!" Dongfang Hao decided immediately.
At that moment, a deluge of arrows rained down, causing heavy casualties among the soldiers.
Dongfang Hao was also injured.
He hid behind a rock, with arrows constantly shooting in his direction.
"General, what do we do now?"
Dongfang Hao said, "Let's retreat. Since they were able to ambush us here, I guess the reinforcements have already run into trouble."
"Find someone to escape and have them come to meet us. They won't let this go after we escape."
This time, Dongfang Hao suffered heavy losses.
Dongfang Hao rode his horse back and forth, while Chu soldiers on horseback pursued him until someone came to his aid.
The Chu people were few in number, and upon seeing the large army of the Long Kingdom, they immediately retreated.
Chu Qingxuan was one of them. Upon seeing Dongfang Hao, Chu Qingxuan immediately rode her horse closer to him. When she saw the wounds on Dongfang Hao's body, her expression immediately darkened.
His sharp gaze fell upon the Chu soldiers.
Dongfang Hao also saw Chu Qingxuan and called out, "Qingxuan..."
Dongfang Hao's voice was weak, clearly indicating that he was injured. When Chu Qingxuan looked at Dongfang Hao, he was too weak to stand and lay down on the ground.
Warhorses came and went around him. Chu Qingxuan dismounted and ran towards Dongfang Hao. Other soldiers also saw the injured Dongfang Hao and ran over to help.
"General, are you alright?"
"Take the general back first!"
This time, Dongfang Hao was truly injured.
Dongfang Hao lay on the bed, his face deathly pale. Beside him sat the old military doctor, his brows furrowed and his head shaking incessantly.
Long Yao asked, "Doctor, how is he?"
The old military doctor put down Dongfang Hao's hand and said, "Your Highness, General Dongfang is fine. It's just that the arrow had a sleeping potion on it, which can make people fall into a coma. He will be fine in a few days."
Others: "..."
Then why do you look so serious?
Is this just an attempt to scare people?
Chu Qingxuan looked at the old military doctor with disdain.
Long Yao nodded, then said, "We must cure General Dongfang."
The old military doctor clasped his hands in salute and replied, "Yes, sir!"
After the old military doctor left, Long Yao looked at Chu Qingxuan and said, "He's in your care now."
