Chapter 219: Mr. Yunji, who is calm and composed, has ambitions
Su Rui didn't know whether it was because she was tired from the long journey or because she felt extra safe with Yun Ji by her side, but she slept until noon. In a daze, she touched the bed beside her and it was cold. It was obvious that the person lying there had already gotten up.
When I opened my eyes, I found a clean linen women's dress on the bedside.
This is an isolated city with few people around. There are no civilians in Changdu Pass. It would take a lot of effort to find such a set of women's clothing.
But since Yun Ji was so kind, Su Rui would naturally not let him down.
With her belly bulging, she changed her clothes a little awkwardly, washed up quickly and went out.
Although this place is considered a general's residence, it is just a larger house in the city center, with only two rooms in the front and back yards.
Before Su Rui walked out of the backyard door, she could already hear the sound of a meeting in the main hall of the front yard.
It wasn't that she intended to eavesdrop, but she had already come here and the guard at the gate had already seen her. It was not appropriate for her to move forward, but she would feel guilty if she retreated. So, she just sat down by the flower bed where there was no grass at all to "rest".
Fortunately, it’s not a secret, I just have to stay in Weicheng for the time being.
Firstly, the war was not over yet because the Dongyue Kingdom had not withdrawn its troops. Secondly, there were too many wounded soldiers. If they set out directly back to Changdu Pass, even though it was only a distance of 300 miles, not only would the movement speed be slow, but the wounded soldiers would easily worsen their condition and die.
Therefore, Yun Ji decided to stay in Weicheng temporarily, letting the wounded soldiers recuperate while waiting for Dongyue to take action.
However, the food supply route and the road back to Changdu Pass must be kept unobstructed and safe, and must be guarded alternately by both the Mobei Army and the Yanzhou Army.
The army in Mobei was led by Li Bin, the deputy general of General Tang, and the army in Yanzhou was led by Wei Chu.
However, Wei Chu was injured and would not recover for a while. Even if he insisted, Yun Ji still asked Li Bin to take people to take over first.
I 'rested' like this for a while, and after listening for most of it, the people in the front hall gradually dispersed.
Yun Ji turned around and walked towards the backyard, just in time to see Su Rui who had just stood up. He rushed forward and supported her with both hands.
Su Rui was surprised at his speed and nervousness.
It was clear that everything in the past seemed like a passing cloud in Yun Ji's eyes. To him, he was just a bystander, able to deal with everything calmly and indifferently. But now, a small action scared him so much that he couldn't suppress his emotions in his eyes.
"I'm just pregnant, and I'm not to the point where I can't even get up. You don't have to be so nervous."
Yun Ji also realized that he was subconsciously overly nervous, but he didn't show any sign of loosening his grip. "If you're too heavy and stand up suddenly, it's very easy for your blood circulation to stagnate, leading to dizziness. You'd better be careful."
She had never been in such a situation before, but Yun Ji knew medical skills, so Su Rui finally listened to him and did not refute him. Instead, she followed his support and walked inside and asked, "Didn't you find out?"
Su Rui knew that in addition to Dongyue and the wounded soldiers, there was also a reason in Shengjing.
Although everyone now knows that Prince Long is colluding with the enemy country, to make a judgment, we need evidence, sufficient evidence.
Now that Yun Ji has decided to stay here, it must be because he was unable to get much useful information out of the captives from Dongyue yesterday, and it would be pointless to return to the capital.
"Prince Long acts meticulously and only communicates secretly with the upper echelons. The lower echelons know nothing. Even the leader of this army is just following orders." Although it was expected, Yun Ji was still angry.
It wasn't just this time. There were also the years when Prince Long was guarding Changdu Pass. Those so-called close-fight battles that turned defeat into victory cost countless civilians and soldiers their lives before they built the steps for the Tang family to step onto the ladder of glory.
"How long do you plan to stay, Your Majesty?"
Since there is no evidence, we can only wait and see the reaction of the Lin family and Prince Long.
The defeat is inevitable. Stopping here is a threat to them to give an explanation. It depends on what they pay and whether Yun Ji can be satisfied.
"The fallen soldiers must not have died in vain, and the blood of the Yanzhou army must not have been shed in vain."
Su Rui understood that Yun Ji wanted to do his best to contribute to the Yanzhou Army, regardless of life or death, and to gain merit, so that he would no longer be reduced to a chess piece or weed that could be manipulated at will.
Moreover, one must hold power in his own hands, have enough say and decision-making power, in order to protect what should be protected, what can be protected, and what one wants to protect. Only then can one step by step take it back from the hands of those people today and change this broken and corrupt Great Zhao.
Mr. Yunji, who has always been calm and composed, has become ambitious.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?" Yun Ji asked while touching his cheek, feeling strangely looked at by Su Rui.
Su Rui shook her head, but her eyes were fixed on him. She said seriously, "I just feel that Mr. Yun Ji has become even more handsome after these few months of wind and frost. I can't help but look at him more."
Unexpectedly, Su Rui was teasing him, and Yun Ji's cheeks turned red instantly.
The light was just right at this moment. Even though he had gotten quite tanned these days, one could still see two red clouds spreading out, and the shyness and restraint in his eyes made him even more alluring.
Su Rui almost couldn't help teasing, but thinking about what was in her heart, she held back and said, "I'm just kidding. I just thought that since the prince has such plans, I also want to do my best."
"Although we have the food supply back now, we won't be able to gather all the herbs in a short time, and they will definitely do something about it. Although I don't know how to take pulses, I know acupuncture and incense making. I can go to the wounded camp to help with acupuncture and making incense pills."
Worried that Yun Ji wouldn't let her go because she was pregnant, Su Rui tried her best to justify herself, saying, "I'm not even seven months pregnant yet, so moving around isn't a problem. I'll just give instructions, and the acupuncture and treatment will be done by the military doctor."
"You promise?"
Su Rui didn't expect Yun Ji to give in so quickly.
It can be seen that there are indeed many wounded soldiers and the situation is not optimistic.
But no matter what, Su Rui saved herself from further talk and immediately nodded sincerely, saying like a well-behaved cat, "I promise, I will never break my promise."
Yun Ji was amused by her, "When do you want to go?"
"The sooner the better, why not now?" Su Rui said arrogantly.
Yun Ji knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he personally sent her to the wounded camp.
The wounded camp, although called a camp, is actually another large open space in the city. A series of sunshade sheds are erected with cloth, and underneath are broken beds, reclining chairs, and rocking chairs that were searched from various abandoned houses. These are considered rare and can only be used for the seriously injured. The rest can only be made of stones or benches with a door panel on top.
This is not enough. Those with minor injuries can only lie on the ground, and these minor injuries are only compared to those with serious injuries who are on the verge of life and death.
The three military doctors were simply too busy to handle the situation. They were spinning around like a top and were not enough to take care of the patients. Not only were there no medical care or medicines available, but the seriously injured were just waiting to die.
But who wants to die, especially now that hope is right in front of them. The hopeful eyes cannot be ignored, but no one dares to look them in the face. The powerlessness makes people feel like they are being fried in a frying pan.
Su Rui still had some impression of one of them. It was the soldier who served her food when she went to the Yanzhou military camp. At that time, his face turned red every time he looked at her. Now, his leg was broken, the blood could not stop flowing, and his face was as pale as paper.
