Zhao Changqing fought and advanced, waving away the weapons of the crowd, still striving to charge towards the carriage.
In the chaos, he swayed.
It seemed that the spear in the Wuhuan man's hand had succeeded and pierced him.
He Youyou couldn't stand it anymore.
Forget it, if it really comes down to a life-or-death situation, I'll just drag him into the space with me!
Thinking of this, He Youyou abruptly lifted the carriage curtain: "Zhao Changqing! I'm here!"
Zhao Changqing, who was on horseback, suddenly turned his head and his eyes met hers instantly.
He pulled on the reins, turned his horse around, broke free of the encirclement, and galloped towards her.
He Youyou climbed out of the carriage and stood on the carriage shaft.
The Wuhuan people hadn't expected there to be a woman in the caravan, and they all looked at each other in surprise, stunned for a moment.
In that short time, Zhao Changqing's horse had already reached He Youyou.
He stretched out his long arm, picked up He Youyou, and placed her on the horse.
He held his halberd horizontally in front of him, protecting the two of them.
He Youyou didn't have time to argue with him at the moment, and just stared intently at the Wuhuan man in front of her.
As soon as they rushed up, he immediately pulled Zhao Changqing into the space.
Thinking of this, she grabbed Zhao Changqing's wrist.
Zhao Changqing's arm was already across her waist and abdomen, so she could easily grab it at that moment.
As if sensing the strength with which she gripped him, Zhao Changqing assumed she was nervous and afraid. He lowered his head slightly, smiled, and said, "Don't be afraid. I can hold them off for a moment. Reinforcements will be here soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, sure enough, chaotic hoofbeats and sounds of fighting came from all directions.
General Sun and Deputy General Chen, who had been flanking from both sides, along with the Left Guard who had followed behind, all arrived at that very moment.
Zhao Changqing wrapped his cloak tighter around himself, covering He Youyou, who was sitting in front of him, completely.
He Youyou's view was completely blocked.
All I could hear were the sounds of charging, fighting, clashing weapons, wails, screams, and the thud of horses hitting the ground...
A stench of blood gradually filled the air...
“Zhao Changqing…” she called out from inside her cloak.
"Um?"
"Don't hurt my caravan brothers."
"Don't worry, they're fine." Zhao Changqing's deep voice came through the cloak.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the surroundings gradually quieted down.
Two generals and the left guard came forward to greet them.
General Sun, known for his bluntness, immediately began to complain: "Commander, how could you be so reckless? You charged forward all by yourself! What if something had happened..."
Zhao Changqing interrupted him calmly, saying, "I will lead the vanguard, and the two generals will join forces to encircle and annihilate the enemy. What's wrong with that?"
"You... sigh!"
Several hundred elite cavalry escorted the caravan back to the Youbei camp.
He Youyou was held in Zhao Changqing's arms the whole way.
On the way, she tried to persuade Zhao Changqing to let her down, since she had a carriage to ride in.
But he was rejected.
He said coldly, "Don't make a sound."
"Why?" He Youyou asked, dissatisfied.
"If there are women in the army, morale may suffer."
"I don't want to go to the military camp. You can take us to a nearby military town, and we'll find an inn to stay in on our own."
"It's late, and we have nowhere to go. Let's go back to the camp first."
So, He Youyou was taken back to the camp without any explanation.
With the left guard's intervention, the caravan members and their goods were properly settled and found a place to stay in the camp.
Zhao Changqing's tent was divided into two rooms, one in front and one behind, by a screen.
The front is for office work and meetings, and the back is for sleeping.
After making arrangements for the caravan, the Left Guard came in and reported to Zhao Changqing.
Upon seeing He Youyou, he bowed and greeted her, "Madam."
Then he turned around and went out.
They went out...
Throughout the entire process, there wasn't even a hint of surprise or gossip on his face.
He Youyou tentatively asked, "Young Master Zhao, shall I stay here with you tonight?"
"Hmm." Zhao Changqing squatted down, holding a pair of iron tongs, and made the fire in the charcoal brazier burn even brighter. "Come here to warm yourself by the fire and drive away the cold."
Alright.
He Youyou walked to his side, squatted down, and reached out her hands to warm them on the charcoal brazier.
He continued to probe: "If I stay here, where will you sleep tonight?"
Zhao Changqing suddenly stopped using the pliers in his hand: "I'm here too."
He Youyou: ……
“Young Master Zhao, don’t you think it’s inappropriate for the two of us…” He Youyou pointed a finger at Zhao Changqing, then at herself, “to stay in the same tent at night?”
Zhao Changqing turned his head to look at her, his gaze as clear as ever: "I don't think so."
After saying that, Zhao Changqing stood up, walked to the bed, and began to take off his clothes.
She watched helplessly as Zhao Changqing took off his cloak and began to remove his armor.
After removing his armor, he began to remove his outer robe.
This person is indeed very informal.
"Young Master Zhao..."
Zhao Changqing finally spoke up: "I'm injured, come and bandage me."
He Youyou then remembered that when he rushed over, she did feel as if she had been stabbed.
Cough cough, so it turns out she needed to have her wound bandaged.
Yes, they were injured while trying to protect themselves, so it's only right that they help bandage their wounds.
She quickly got up, went to his side, and asked with concern, "Where are you hurt?"
Zhao Changqing's armor could protect his shoulders, chest, back, and waist.
Only the area under the ribs is unprotected.
The injury was to the side.
Zhao Changqing had already taken off his outer robe, and He Youyou saw a hole in his inner garment under his left side, which was stained red with blood.
