Chapter 165: It's always easy to stir up his emotions
Soon, the wailing of bandits could be heard from above.
"It's Wufeng! Wufeng is here with three teams to rescue us!" someone shouted.
"Brother Chen, we are saved!" The deputy excitedly grabbed Shen Duo's hand.
Shen Duo, however, had mixed feelings.
He acted on his own and almost killed his brothers, but Yun Ji had secretly asked Wu Feng to bring people to follow him and clean up his mess.
Shameless!
He is so shameless.
But if we continue to stay here, we will be dragging our brothers to death.
So, even though Chen Duo felt unhappy, he no longer resisted and cooperated with Wufeng and others to be pulled out of the deep pit, put on a cart, and was taken all the way back to the military camp.
His eyes were blinded by the raw pepper and he could not see clearly for a while, so he was placed in the room to rest.
And everything is as usual.
There was no punishment, no complaints, and even his meals were prepared according to the standards for a patient.
The more this happened, the more uncomfortable Shen Duo felt.
Finally, after he could see clearly again, he rushed into the command post.
The people below were reporting the situation to Yun Ji. When they saw Chen Duo rushing in, they all looked out.
Fearing that he was here to cause trouble for Yun Ji again, his colleagues were about to speak up to dissuade him, but Yun Ji raised his hand and said, "I summoned Deputy Commander Shen. You can go down first."
Upon hearing this, everyone retreated.
Chen Duo looked at Yun Ji, who was sitting behind the desk and was as calm and approachable as usual. He tried to speak several times before asking, "Why did you save me?"
"Assisting each other on the battlefield is what we should do, and it's what I should do."
As a commander, he should naturally take charge of the overall situation, but as an opponent, he should not.
"You didn't have to save me."
"What about you?" Yun Ji asked back.
If it were him, would he save Yun Ji?
meeting!
Even if he was dissatisfied with Yun Ji, felt that Yun Ji had taken away the position that should have belonged to him, and felt that he was just a useless person, they were brothers in the same military camp after all. How could he allow bandits to kill him just for personal grudges?
But, he would make Yunji suffer a little and teach him a lesson.
But Yunji didn't.
It was already the limit of what Wufeng and Team Three could do to arrive at that time. After all, they were too close. If he discovered it by then, he would definitely be even more confused, and the bandits would also find out.
Yun Ji had no personal grudges against him, and he had never even thought of using his brothers to teach him a lesson.
He can't be considered Yun Ji's opponent at all, there is no comparison at all.
Even though he understood it in his heart, Chen Duo was still too awkward to express his gratitude. He only asked in a low voice, "Then why don't you punish me?"
"Leading the team to suppress the bandits was originally your duty. However, you made a mistake in command, but you still found the bandits' hideout. The recent bandit problem around Yanzhou has been completely eliminated. Your merits outweigh your faults. After your injuries have fully healed, you will receive thirty military sticks as punishment."
Thirty military sticks, what kind of punishment is that?
They also excused him by saying that it was just a command error.
"No! This is not enough! I have let my brothers down. Instead, I shall be demoted and fined at least fifty military sticks and one year's salary."
"If you demote me, who should be promoted?"
Yun Ji's question left Chen Duo confused.
He only thought about the penalty he deserved and didn't think about who should take his place.
Although his position was deputy and his official rank was not high, he was a key figure in the Yanzhou military camp.
Although the Yanzhou military camp is semi-directly under the emperor's jurisdiction and other forces are not allowed to get involved, nothing is absolute.
There were also many people in the camp waiting for an opportunity to act. As for the situation in Shengjing, although Shen Duo did not have the brains of those civil officials, he knew that this would be a time to fight for power and profit.
The emperor sent Yun Ji to Yanzhou to protect him.
Someone has taken his place, and if someone wants to harm Yun Ji, it will be a big trouble.
He can't repay kindness with enmity, otherwise he would be a bastard!
"Okay! I, Chen Duo, am convinced by you. I will remember this kindness in my heart. From now on, I will listen to you. If you point east, I will hit east. I will follow you."
Yun Ji nodded, which was considered as his agreement.
This made the passionate Shen Duo frown. He had finally said these words, but Yun Ji still looked calm.
"Your Highness, I want to ask you, have you always been so indifferent? Is there nothing that can cause any change on your face?" Chen Duo was really curious.
Yun Ji thought about it.
He was indeed like this most of the time. The habit he had since childhood made him not to express his emotions, and after years of seclusion, it was extremely difficult for anything to cause him to be upset.
Except...Su Rui.
Ever since she appeared, she could easily stir up his emotions.
I don’t know how she is doing in Beijing.
"Ah Qiu!"
The cold air made Su Rui sneeze repeatedly. The two stoves were burning brightly, but even wrapped in a thick quilt, she still felt cold all over.
"Concubine, why don't we find a doctor to take a look?" Luo E was worried that Su Rui would get herself hurt by enduring so much.
Su Rui shook her head.
At this moment, she could not call a doctor. To be more precise, she could not open the door of the Marquis's Mansion and let anyone in.
Snow disasters were everywhere, and Shengjing was not spared. Even though officials at the foot of the imperial city did not dare to embezzle, the common people at the bottom were always the group that would not be protected.
The heavy snow crushed many people's houses and many people froze to death within a few days.
In order to prevent the evil people from outside the city from entering, all the city gates were closed. There were only three low mountains in the city, and the trees on them were not enough for the people in the entire city, so they had been cut down long ago.
Some people chose to gather together for warmth, some with connections entered the government-run refugee camps, and some gathered outside the rich people's mansions. If the rich people got out, they would run away. When they found an opportunity, they would break into the house and rob coal and supplies, causing several bloody incidents.
The government sent people to arrest them, and they caught some of them, but there were some others that could not be caught no matter what they did.
These people were not looking for rich people, but those who were bold enough to wander around the residences of officials.
Everyone knows whether they are real people or fake people.
More and more people were gathering around Prince Yong's mansion.
At the banquet, she spilled wine on Prince Long. Although it was a slap in the face of Prince Long, a dignified prince could not hold a grudge against a mere concubine like her.
However, Yun Ji was not in the capital at the moment, and there were not many soldiers in the palace. If the evil people with bad intentions were forced to rush into Prince Yong's palace, burning, killing and looting, and then seeing Su Rui's beauty, they might do something else, it would be understandable.
Therefore, after Su Rui met Yue Heyun that day, he closed the gate and gathered everyone in the West Garden. Zhuiyue and the other four brought their own team of palace soldiers, who patrolled in shifts for twelve hours a day.
Now is a critical moment. If she asks a doctor to come because of her illness, it may give others an opportunity to break through.
This disease was strange, it was just a cold. In the past, she would prescribe medicine herself and fumigate the acupoints to get better. But this time, her stomach disease was severe. She vomited everything she ate, and the medicine was no exception.
Helplessly, I can only rely on fumigating the acupoints, but the effect is very slow, and my body is very tired and I am particularly afraid of cold.
Just when I was thinking about whether to add more ingredients to the incense, Xiaoru walked in from outside with a huff.
"Who has offended you again? Your face is about to explode." Luo E asked jokingly.
"It's all those people from outside. Their mouths stink worse than a toilet. They burned a fire in our back alley until it was black, and they still say that the snow disaster was caused by our concubine."
