Gu Jinke sat quietly in the night all night. When it was almost dawn the next day, he spread out the crumpled letter paper in his hand, folded it, placed it on the candle flame and slowly ignited it, watching the ashes fall bit by bit.
After instructing his subordinates to sweep away the ashes on the table, Gu Jinke took a shower, changed his clothes, and then walked out with a cold look. Another busy day of dispatch begins.
Recently, a group of male logistics personnel have emerged in the army, organized by the husbands and families of some military women. They are mainly responsible for taking care of the wounded soldiers who have been rotated out of the army, or other trivial matters such as washing, mending, etc.
There are limited medical officers in the army, but many wounded soldiers. Medical officers can only focus on those who are seriously injured and in critical condition. However, swords and guns are brutal on the battlefield, and the soldiers participating in the war have more or less other non-fatal injuries on their bodies, which cannot be treated in time. If the weather was hot, the wound would have been infected and festered long ago, but the weather was cold, so the wound was delayed by the slow rate of festation. However, the wound also healed more slowly. In addition, the military situation was urgent and the soldiers were not well rested, which was even more torturous and greatly affected their combat effectiveness.
He can't even take care of himself, let alone wash and mend clothes. Originally, there were people cooperating in the army to mend and wash the uniforms, but the rotation on the battlefield was fast, and the clothes were torn and dirty even faster. The demand suddenly increased three or five times, and the people cooperating were simply miserable. Originally, they wanted to let these soldiers wear whatever they wanted, but they were injured again, and they didn't want these dirty clothes to get infected. It was difficult to find people at that time, so those who cooperated outside had to bear the consequences.
There were even a few extreme ruffians who quarreled and had conflicts with the soldiers who were cooperating with them.
Gu Jinke saw all of this and had originally prepared to let the soldiers be self-reliant, organize small teams, and take care of each other in order to prevent the situation from getting out of hand and causing the army to become overbearing and overconfident, thus delaying military intelligence. Unexpectedly, some men suddenly emerged and took full charge of the matter.
Moreover, because they are relatives of the army, they can get familiar with the soldiers more quickly, do things efficiently and effectively, and are easily accepted by the soldiers. But in just one or two days, it already looked pretty good.
And because of their similar status, the soldiers in the army are very protective of them.
This is a case of starting from a small matter and seeing the big picture, and it has curbed many things.
When Gu Jinke heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, raised his eyebrows, smiled and shook his head. This saves them a lot of trouble. Then I heard from outside that Li Yuxin and Qiao Xi wanted to see me, and they came together.
These two people actually bumped into each other!
Gu Jinke nodded in surprise and went to meet him. As soon as he sat down in the hall, he saw two men with different temperaments, each in fluttering brocade clothes, walking in hand in hand, both with smiles on their faces, bowing to Gu Jinke: "Your Highness!"
Gu Jinke looked at the two of them, still a little surprised: "How do you know each other? Why do you seem to have a good relationship?"
They actually came together arm in arm, smiling.
The two men looked at each other, and Li Yuxin smiled and said, "We met by chance on the street, had a great conversation, and became friends right from the moment we met."
Gu Jinke: ...This fate is quite special.
She didn't intend to go into details, but the fact that these two people got along so peacefully was beyond her expectations.
After all, the first time Qiao Xi met Jiang Mo, Xue Luan and others in Qingcheng Mansion, the tit-for-tat confrontation seemed like yesterday.
The two of them didn't care about Gu Jinke's surprise and directly stated the purpose of their visit: "We are here to see His Highness on official business."
Gu Jinke nodded: "I wonder what it is?"
She also knew that the two men were not ignorant of the seriousness of the matter. If they had any private matters, they would wait until she returned to the courtyard or left the military camp before coming to see her. As for the fact that he would go straight into the military camp to ask for a meeting, he must have official business to attend to, which is why she summoned him for a meeting without hesitation.
Moreover, looking at the appearance of the two people, she could roughly guess what was going on, and then comparing it with what had happened in the past two days, she had a rough idea in her mind.
As expected, Qiao Xi said, "In recent days, Master Li and I have hit it off. Seeing the intense war ahead and countless women sacrificing their lives for our Great Jin, we naturally admire them very much and feel deeply moved. We also want to do what we can for the war."
"It's just that we couldn't help with the war at the front. Later, we heard that there were many wounded soldiers in the barracks. Due to the limited medical officers and manpower, they were not properly treated and resolved, and they suffered from injuries and illnesses. We felt even more guilty and wanted to help."
Li Yuxin nodded and continued, "So I discussed it with Master Qiao and felt a little embarrassed. After all, we couldn't do the backyard shopping to take care of it. But one day when I was strolling around, I met a married young man sitting at the door with a look of longing and worry on his face. On a whim, I went up to him and asked him the reason for his sitting there."
"Later, I learned that he had just married a soldier. This soldier had just gone to the battlefield. His husband missed his wife so much that he couldn't sleep at night. He didn't have the mood or desire to take care of the household affairs. He quickly became thinner. There was another widow next to him. His first wife was also a soldier. After his wife died, his life was very difficult. He suffered a lot and couldn't find a job to make a living. He also aged quickly."
He and Qiao Xi looked at each other and said, "We both feel sorry for the families of these soldiers! They are so respectable! There are so many families and male relatives like this in this border city. One person cannot help them. However, the wounded soldiers in the barracks have no one to take care of them. These families are waiting in vain and have a hard life. It is better for us to help each other."
"These attentive families take care of the wounded soldiers, and they get food in the barracks. They see the soldiers every day and are not afraid of being bullied by others. If the wives at home take turns to be the wives, they can also relieve their homesickness."
Gu Jinke nodded, but Qiao Xi frowned, "It's just that everything is fine at first, but conflicts will arise over time. Young Master Li and I have good intentions, but we are afraid of causing trouble for Your Highness as time goes on. It's better to discuss a set of rules with Your Highness right now, and regulate this matter in detail. We should follow the rules in the future to avoid any trouble in the future, which will lead to resentment."
He spread out his palms and counted carefully: "First, the military camp is an important place. The identities of those entering and leaving must be verified first to prevent spies from sneaking into these people and provoking our soldiers. Second, these people are men after all, and most of the people in the military camp are women. There must be boundaries between them..."
Gu Jinke smiled and clapped his hands: "Come here, bring the writing brush and ink!"
These two people were really thorough in their work. Not only did they help her solve a big problem, but now they were actually worrying about the future and came early to eliminate the trouble at this time. It was really...
She lowered her eyelashes to hide the genuine gratitude in her eyes. In fact, if they just made this happen, Gu Jinke would be grateful in his heart. In two days, he would definitely have someone draw up a set of rules to prevent any future troubles from this matter, but it was up to them to do it themselves.
When someone looks ahead for you and is willing to take care of you later, and you are treated sincerely and well protected by someone, what else can you be dissatisfied with?
Gu Jinke found a few more respectable soldiers among the wounded, and then picked out a few with good reputations among the military families who came to help. They came to the tent together to discuss and listen, and then slowly replenished the troops.
Gu Jinke had thought about it before, and Li Yuxin and Qiao Xi had a clear idea of what was going on before they came to see Gu Jinke. The military families and the wounded soldiers had also spent a few days together and discovered the problems. They confirmed, supplemented and revised each other. Instead, they worked all night and spent more than a day to formulate a detailed set of regulations. After verification, it was announced throughout the military camp to let everyone know about it.
After finishing the work, Gu Jinke dismissed the others. He saw that the two men who had kept him company all night were exhausted. They had big dark circles under their eyes and their eyelids were a little swollen. They had been enduring a little and yawning continuously. There was a gentle smile on their faces, and he felt a little distressed, but he quickly held it back.
She ordered her subordinates to prepare the carriage and horses, and called the two men, "Let's go, I'll take you out, and go back to the mansion to rest first."
Both of them felt that their appearance was not good at the moment and did not want to show this side of them to Gu Jinke. They tried hard to cover it up and pulled the hood of their cloaks down to cover their faces.
It's not that they insisted on staying up all night to impress Gu Jinke or anything, but this matter should be resolved as soon as possible. Resolving it early would free up Gu Jinke to do other things without wasting her time, and it would also prevent the evil spirits in the military camp from causing any trouble. After all, they were the ones who started the trouble and were supposed to help Gu Jinke solve his problems. They couldn't do something bad and ignore the consequences, leaving a big mess for Gu Jinke and causing trouble.
Hearing Gu Jinke's call, they all nodded and walked out. The carriage was already waiting there. Gu Jinke stood aside and watched two people being supported into the carriage. Then they leaned against the wall of the carriage in a daze and soon fell asleep.
Gu Jinke waved his hand, and the carriage drove steadily and slowly towards the city. Gu Jinke himself mounted the horse and escorted the two back on one side.
She hadn't had a rest for two days, so it was a good opportunity for them to go back and have a good sleep.
But when they arrived safely at the courtyard, they found that the two of them were already fast asleep, leaning against each other, sleeping soundly. It was hard to call them, so Gu Jinke could only call the servants in the courtyard to come and carry the two of them back to rest.
But I didn't expect that the two of them were very vigilant, so the waiter carefully separated them. He was ready to carry Li Yuxin, who was sitting on the periphery, down from the car. However, the noise was a little loud when he carried someone. As he moved to the door of the car, Li Yuxin quickly woke up and saw someone was trying to carry him. His hands were faster than his brain and he slapped the person, making him stagger. He then quickly kicked him, causing him to fall to the ground.
But he himself was also on the edge of the carriage, his body swaying, and with this force, his body leaned forward and fell straight under the carriage.
All these things happened in just a moment. When Gu Jinke heard the noise and turned around, he had been thrown to the ground by Li Yuxin, and he himself fell straight to the ground.
Gu Jingke: ...
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment, and turned around to dangerously grab Li Yuxin's arm. Li Yuxin also smelled her scent in an instant, and instinctively clung to her, hooking one hand around Gu Jinke's shoulder, and wrapping his legs around Gu Jinke's legs, and said in a daze: "Your Highness, save me, someone wants to carry me and sell me!"
He spoke in a low voice, and before Gu Jinke could explain, the other servants around him finally reacted.
"Ah!" was heard, and a group of servants hurriedly tried to help the servant on the ground.
The noise was quite loud and it woke up another person who was sleeping soundly in the carriage. Thinking something had happened, he rubbed his eyes, quickly leaned out to look, and asked anxiously, "What happened?"
There was still some confusion in his eyes, and he fixed his eyes on the person he cared about most, looking at Gu Jinke. Outside the carriage, Gu Jinke was seen standing straight as a pine tree, holding Li Yuxin's arm with one hand and supporting Li Yuxin's waist with the other. Li Yuxin entwined herself around His Highness like a vine, mumbling something, and then a slight smile appeared on Gu Jinke's face.
From a distance, they looked like a perfect couple, deeply in love.
Gu Jinke and Li Yuxin seemed to have heard Qiao Xi's question and turned to look.
Three people, six eyes meeting.
Now, all the sleepiness, tiredness and confusion disappeared. Qiao Xi looked at this scene, pursed his lips slightly, and then slowly revealed a smile.
