Chapter 891 National Master
Today's battle was short, but the fatal thing was that there were a lot of casualties.
Shen Qingqian didn't know about the minor injuries, but she knew about the serious injuries just by looking at the fact that there was no room left in their tents. This showed how brutal the battle was.
"Sixth Miss, do you think they'll attack again?" Xiao Sun asked as he wiped his hands after treating the wounded. "We've injured so many people today. If there's another battle, the Military Medical Department won't be able to handle it all."
Shen Qingqian's eyes darkened slightly. "They have been preparing for so long, I don't think they will give up."
Because Shengze is here, the person on the throne will definitely be unable to sleep or eat, and will definitely try every means to get rid of him.
If Liang Cheng insisted on not using gunpowder weapons, the battle would probably be much more difficult. It all depends on their decision.
After working for most of the night, Shen Qingqian walked towards her tent at dawn.
Even though she had the magic spring water, such high-intensity mental exertion was very tiring. At this moment, she didn't even want to eat breakfast and just wanted to fall asleep.
But she had only taken a few steps when a figure blocked her way.
"You can't go without breakfast after a hard night."
Sheng Ze's voice rang in his ears, and the next moment, Shen Qingqian's hand was held by him.
Shen Qingqian lowered her eyes to look at the two people's tightly clasped hands hidden by the wide sleeves, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.
This guy is really something. He always wore tight clothes with narrow sleeves in the army, but just to hold her hand in public, he changed into a wide robe with big sleeves.
"Your work is done." Shen Qingqian looked him up and down and found that he was in good spirits and there was no sign of fatigue on his face. It seemed that he did not take action last night.
Sheng Ze hummed, "The enemy retreated. The imperial court did send a capable person this time."
Some things should be said briefly. Since they are capable people, the withdrawal is only temporary. What awaits the Hubei Northern Army may be a more severe war.
"So you really don't use gunpowder weapons?" Shen Qingqian asked with a raised eyebrow.
Sheng Ze paused for a moment, then quickly continued forward, "It depends on the situation."
He was not foolish enough to sacrifice the lives of his soldiers to fulfill his benevolence and righteousness. Now he was just giving the other side a chance. In addition, the training of the Hubei Northern Army had indeed been a bit slack in recent days, so he might as well take the opportunity to teach them a lesson.
Lessons learned through blood always help people grow.
Hearing him say this, Shen Qingqian felt relieved.
When the two of them came to the kitchen, Sheng Ze naturally let go of his hand.
Many people around greeted the two of them. Xiao Sungang, holding the freshly made porridge, turned around and saw Shen Qingqian, and asked with a smile, "Didn't the Sixth Miss say that she didn't want to eat this morning? Did you remember what the master said and come here again?"
Shen Qingqian nodded calmly, "Yes, I remembered what Doctor Hu said about the benefits of eating breakfast, so I decided to come over and drink the porridge before going back to rest."
Sheng Ze lowered his eyes and gave her a look with a half-smile, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he handed her the bowl of porridge and said, "Then eat more. I'll give you a full breakfast today."
Shen Qingqian raised her eyes, glared at him secretly, took the bowl and turned away.
Sheng Ze also followed her with a bowl of porridge, shaking his head and laughing. This girl really can't stand being teased.
Jing He was discussing the future battle with others when he heard his subordinates report, "General, the Grand Master is here!"
"What?" Jing He stood up suddenly, his eyes full of surprise, "Really, the Imperial Master?"
This national teacher was appointed after Sheng Zhan ascended the throne. He always wore a golden mask when he appeared in public. No one knew his true appearance. One could only guess from his tall and handsome figure that the national teacher was not very old.
