Hong Yu nodded slightly. This method was feasible. "That's also possible. If you can avoid staying up late, try not to. Only by eating well and sleeping well can you have the energy to face the next challenge."
It was called a challenge, but Wang Yanzhou seemed to be intentionally helping him. He had already informed him that he didn't need to go into battle at all, but would just organize everything from the back. If anything happened to him, he could just come out and fill in. When he first heard Wang Yanzhou talk about this, he thought the world was just joking, but who knew it would actually turn out like this.
...The next morning, at the Tianshu Tower camp, morale soaring thanks to the Beimo army's arrival, Yunhe, after meeting Hudu, took a detour to Zhiyoulin and hadn't returned yet. Xiahou Chun, unwell, was resting peacefully in his own quarters, and for a moment, Xiahou Qing felt a little unaccustomed to the somewhat deserted tent.
Soon, someone came to report the latest situation. "Pavilion Master, we just received news that most of the people sent to Qingliang Valley died on their way back to report, leaving only one person alive. He didn't say a word after returning because of his severe injuries."
Xiahou Qing knew that the only people who would dare to attack his people in Tianshu Tower were probably the ones across from him, but he still asked casually, "Have you found out who did it?"
The visitor replied, "Pavilion Master is wise. It was definitely not the Qilin Guards who did this. According to the survivor who just died, the one who attacked us claimed to be the building's gatekeeper."
Xiahou Qing was slightly taken aback. He had previously suspected that there was a traitor in the building, but he had never been able to find out. It seemed that this person was the author of all the rumors that were circulating in Tianshu Tower. He was also the instigator who caused the martial artists under his control to inexplicably escape his control. "Interesting, but both sides suffered losses tonight. It seems that Wang Yanzhou will not act rashly and send people to attack the military camp in the future. Everything has been negotiated in Beimo now. Is the military rations for Qinghe County safely on the way?"
The person reporting the news knew Xiahou Qing was going to ask this question before he even entered. Although he seemed to be in a good mood recently, he was still a little nervous when he heard such a thing. "Not yet. The earliest we can leave is tomorrow, and we expect to arrive three days after departure. I have already ordered them to rush here day and night."
Xiahou Qing nodded slightly and added, "Tell them to be careful on the road. If they encounter a stranger traveling alone and claiming to be from Tianshu Tower, they should kill him without mercy, without replying. We must ensure the safe arrival of the military rations."
"I understand. In addition, we have collected some information from the Khan of Beimo Hudu. Please take a look at it, Master." As he spoke, the visitor presented the urgent report he had just received.
Xiahou Qing put down the document in his hand, glanced at the contents of the note, and smiled contemptuously. It was just a minor unexpected incident with Shangguan Bing'er, nothing serious. "I thought it was a big deal, but it's just a woman. Has Tiger City heard about this?"
The visitor replied, "They probably don't know yet. This news was relayed by our insider stationed next to Shangguan Bing'er. It's said that the people at Beimo Villa are worried about the impact it will have on Tiger City on the battlefield, so they've suppressed it for the time being."
Xiahou Qing then ordered, "Even though it's just a woman's matter, she's the princess of Beimo after all. Keep the good news secret. I don't want anyone to make a fuss about this at this critical moment."
...Back in Beimo, after a face-to-face meeting with Xiahou Qing and his men, they finally entered combat readiness. At dawn, Wei Xian was found unconscious near the sentry post and rescued. Although his injuries were not serious, he remained in the tent to rest at everyone's suggestion.
After finishing their morning patrol and artillery inspection, Boss Yang and the captain of the guard went to the tent where Wei Xian lived. As soon as they entered, they saw Wei Xian lying on the bed with his eyes open, wondering what he was thinking.
Boss Yang asked with concern: "How is your injury? Are you okay?"
Seeing that these two hard-to-fool people had finally come to him, Wei Xian quickly got up from the bed and said, "My head and eyes still hurt a little, but it's okay now. I can accept the mission immediately."
The captain of the guards asked directly, "I saw you two had a good relationship earlier. Why did he suddenly knock you out and leave?"
Wei Xian explained innocently, "I don't know why. If I hadn't gotten up that night, I wouldn't have gotten hit for no reason. But if I hadn't gotten up, I wouldn't have known he'd actually try to escape. He doesn't look like the type to desert a battlefield. Could he be a spy?"
The word "spy" immediately struck a chord with Boss Yang and the captain of the guard. After exchanging a glance, the captain patted Wei Xian on the shoulder and said, "...Don't worry about this matter. Focus on healing your wounds and get a good rest. We have a fierce battle tomorrow, and the artillery must not fail."
Boss Yang immediately suggested, "Captain, something like this has happened to our people. The artillery will be put to great use tomorrow at the earliest, or the day after tomorrow at the latest. Starting tonight, you and I will take turns guarding the artillery. I'm worried that something like this will happen again and cause panic among us."
The captain of the guards nodded and said, "That's what I thought, actually. Okay, you should have a good rest. We won't bother you any more. Time is short. You have to return to work tomorrow."
Wei Xian said with a grateful expression, "I understand. Please rest assured, Boss and Captain."
What Boss Yang and the captain of the guard had just said to Wei Xian, whether intentionally or unintentionally, had been leaked. Since they could spot the subtle differences in the artillery, they could also see something was wrong with the wound on Wei Xian's face. After leaving the tent, the two of them simultaneously turned back to look at the tent door. The captain of the guard whispered, "...Have someone keep a close eye on this guy inside. I don't think this is that simple."
...In the Qingliang Palace, it was impossible to hide the fact that Tang Chen was bedridden from the people in the palace; however, the people in the palace have always been known for their tight-lippedness.
Liang Shuyi was not feeling well and could not help much. At most, she stayed by Tang Chen's side, feeding her medicine and talking to her when she woke up. Jiang Wanying and Xihe agreed that a good mood was beneficial to the body. Moreover, Tang Chen was in such a state that she probably wanted her child to be with her.
