Chapter 297: Just to Deliver Medicine
Or maybe, they had deliberately exposed Shen Yu's identity.
A great general became blind and got entangled with a peasant woman.
This kind of story of a genius falling from grace is the most refreshing for those with dark hearts.
Wen Wan pretended to be shocked by Shen Yu's identity and raised her hand to gesture.
Someone understood what she meant and tentatively expressed her meaning.
"Are you asking if he is the famous general of the Duan Dynasty?"
Wenwan nodded.
Several imperial guards exchanged glances, and one of them replied, "General Shen, haven't you heard of him? The first-class general stationed at the border town who repelled countless Mobei invaders?"
He changed the subject, "Oh, by the way, he is not now. Now he is just a prisoner."
The naked insult fell into Wen Wan's ears, and she was so angry that her hands were shaking.
The man she cares about is willing to give up his feelings for her for the sake of the overall situation.
In the end, he still has to be laughed at by these people?
Then what about his fighting on the battlefield and his loyalty and righteousness?
Seeing Wen Wan's eyes gradually turn red, Chen Yu squeezed her hand imperceptibly and stuffed a small porcelain bottle the size of a thumb into her hand.
Shen Yu had a wooden face and tried to stand up with the help of his crutches.
Wen Wan, however, held his arm and pointed at Shen Yu's face to the imperial guards.
He Qing raised his eyebrows. "You mean, such a handsome man doesn't look like a general, but more like a male concubine in a brothel?"
Wen Wan just said that Shen Yu was good-looking, and only used gestures. How could there be a word like "male favorite"?
He Qing was just using her name to take the opportunity to label Shen Yu as a male favorite.
A cunning person has a murderous heart.
Wen Wan sneered in her heart, but did not show it on her face. She nodded in agreement to everyone.
In front of others, she pretended to be a peasant woman fascinated by beauty, and actually cupped Shen Yu's cheek and pinched it.
While laughing, she babbled a sleeping gesture to everyone.
Seeing this, He Qing's mocking smile became even wider.
"You mean, if he really is your male favorite, you'll sleep with him tonight?"
Wen Wan nodded again.
She couldn't stand being insulted by others.
But being teased by her is the joy between lovers.
Shen Yu turned away and raised the corner of his mouth behind everyone's back.
Looking at him from behind, everyone thought that he could not bear the insult from a peasant woman and turned away in shame and anger.
She was so ashamed that she couldn't be more ashamed. In fact, Shen Yu even rubbed her fingers secretly.
Wen Wan: “…”
You bastard, even at this time, you are still climbing up the pole.
Forget it, I can only pamper my own living ancestor myself.
No one else knows about the little actions between the two.
What's more, some people, who were just enjoying the fun, even started making mild jokes.
"Madam, you have good taste. However, even if General Shen is not a male favorite, you can still give it a try."
"Madam, haven't you heard the saying, 'When flowers are ready to be picked, pick them now, don't wait until there are no flowers left to pluck empty branches?'"
"That's right, ma'am, you're welcome. It's human nature for men and women to love each other."
“General Shen is in this state now. If Madam doesn’t dislike him, he won’t suffer any loss.”
A group of people started to make a fuss and encouraged Wen Wan to attack Shen Yu.
Wen Wan was now playing the role of a peasant woman with crude movements, so she did not have the shyness of a lady from a noble family when faced with these jeers.
She pretended to consider it.
A group of people began to direct the conversation to Shen Yu again.
"General Shen, you can't see, so you don't know that the lady in front of you is first-rate in appearance and has a hot body. She's even more eye-catching than the girls in the brothel."
“General Shen, this girl is not inferior to those concubines in your backyard, why don’t you consider it?”
"Yes, although it is in the wilderness, there is still a carriage that is relatively hidden. If General Shen wants to use it, we will oblige him."
This group of people really didn't take Shen Yu and Wen Wan seriously at all.
A down-and-out general and a lowly peasant woman, in their eyes, the two were a perfect match.
Seeing that these people were talking more and more outrageous, Shen Yu stood firm and blocked Wen Wan's hand.
"Madam, please respect yourself."
He said just this, and then walked forward with his crutch. After he was about five feet away, he groped his way to sit down at the roots of a tree.
He closed his eyes and leaned against the tree trunk. The firelight reflected on his face, leaving only loneliness.
Wen Wan turned her head to glance at him, her heart aching slightly, but she soon looked away.
After the excitement died down and the group of people had eaten and drunk their fill, they each found a place to rest.
Wen Wan stood up and walked to the back of the carriage. Taking advantage of the cover of the carriage, she took out a small porcelain bottle.
The bottle is only the size of a thumb, and once opened, you can smell a slight medicinal fragrance.
This kind of wound medicine must be very precious.
She touched the red mark on her neck and felt warm in her heart.
What a fool! Just for the sake of delivering medicine to her, he was willing to endure the verbal insults from this group of people.
The smile on Wenwan's lips gradually froze, and her eyes were filled with resentment.
"He Qing, you humiliated him today. One day, I will repay you a hundredfold!"
Thinking of this, she was reluctant to use the medicine, but hid it carefully in her arms.

Starting from the second day, the team accelerated its pace.
After a long journey of more than ten days, the group finally arrived at the territory of Fengcheng. As long as they continued along the post road, they would be able to enter the city.
He Qing was once stationed in Fengcheng, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the local boss here.
So after entering Fengcheng, they untied the rope on Wen Wan's wrist, because within the territory of Fengcheng, they were not afraid that Wen Wan would escape.
Even if she wanted to run away, she would be found by their people and sent back.
Wen Wan and Shen Yu had a tacit understanding and became more cautious in getting along with each other. In order to gain He Qing's trust, Wen Wan deliberately took advantage of the situation and humiliated Shen Yu several times.
From beginning to end, Shen Yu looked like he was enduring humiliation.

Yunqi Town is a small town in the south of Fengcheng. From here, going north is Fengcheng, and going east is a no-man's land.
When the group arrived at Yunqi Town, it was already so dark that they couldn't see their hands in front of them.
The post station had received a letter via carrier pigeon long ago and knew that He Qing and others were coming, so they made preparations early.
The other guests in the post station were driven away, and the general of the Fengcheng garrison personally led a team of light cavalry to wait at the door.
He Qing's back injury had almost healed, but he still didn't ride a horse, but took a carriage instead.
He pushed open the car door, stepped on the footstool to get out of the car, and raised his hand to take the wooden box handed to him by the young man.
Wen Wan stood aside and smelled a disgusting smell of blood in the air.
Then He Qing opened the box.
By the light of the lantern, I could barely see that the box contained a bloody hand.
The young general reported: "That guy was very stubborn. He was tortured to the point of being on his last breath, but he didn't say a word."
