Chapter 682, Brain Sickness
Xiao Yeyang had a special status, and Wu Jingyi didn't dare to act like a governor. If that guy didn't give him face, he would be humiliated. So, he took a detour and went to find the commander Xue Xiangchen first.
Seeing Chu Gang bringing Wu Jingyi over, Xue Xiangchen snorted in annoyance.
The distribution of supplies to the Jinling Guards is actually separate from that of the army. Because the Jinling Guards have a special mission, they can obtain supplies locally on their own.
It’s easy in other places, you can always get something, but here is the border where supplies are scarce.
Stealing their supplies, including life-saving medicine, isn't this deliberately causing trouble?
Not to mention Xiao Yeyang, even he didn't want to give Chu Gang a good face.
Chu Gang looked at Wu Jingyi awkwardly and winked at him, asking him to help speak.
After all, he was from the military, so Wu Jingyi couldn't ignore him. He smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries with Xue Xiangchen, then scolded Chu Gang harshly: "This guy is just a big rough guy. Look, he is also anxious to save the soldiers, so don't bother with him."
Xue Xiangchen knew that Wu Jingyi would definitely meet the emperor this time, so he immediately complained to him: "General Wu, we are not stingy. Ask General Chu yourself, how much help have we given him before? No matter how hard or difficult it was, when did we say anything?"
"We all think that we are working for the emperor and the court, so we should help each other as much as possible."
"The war is tense, and we're worried too. Look, everyone in the Jinling Guards is working from dawn to dusk, doing their jobs."
"When the army isn't fighting, the soldiers at least have some time to rest, but we Jinling Guards don't have that. In order to quickly recapture the two captured cities, punish the rebels, and drive out the Tatars, we're constantly on the move."
"Commander Wu, you know how dangerous Jinling Guard's job is. Every time they go out, they have to worry about their lives, and getting injured is commonplace."
"As for other supplies, if the army is in trouble, I will tighten my belt and save some to support the soldiers, but I can't do that for medicine. Once the Jinling Guards are injured, they are all seriously injured. Without medicine, they will not be able to survive."
As he said this, he snorted and glared at Chu Gang in dissatisfaction.
"General Chu was very rude. He took away most of the medicine. Now our Jinling Guards are short of medicine." Fortunately, Xiao Yeyang and the Yan brothers are in the team, otherwise, he would really have to worry about supplies.
Wu Jingyi looked at Xue Xiangchen, who was complaining to him, with a headache, and quickly interrupted him: "Chu Gang knows he's wrong. Isn't he coming here in person to apologize? Okay, for my sake, let's just let it go."
Xue Xiangchen snorted and said nothing more.
We still have to give face to the commander-in-chief of the Five Armies.
Wu Jingyi coughed lightly and said, "I came here this time to ask you for a favor."
Hearing this, Xue Xiangchen immediately looked alert: "What help?"
Seeing him like this, Wu Jingyi was speechless: "There is a general in that army who was seriously injured. I would like to ask your doctor Ge to go over and take a look."
Xue Xiangchen looked at Chu Gang: "Is the wound infected and you have a fever?"
Chu Gang nodded sadly and quickly argued for his men: "I was wrong about what happened before. I'll do whatever you want to me, but can you please save the people first? Kou Yaowu was a brave man. Since he joined the army, he has been stationed at the border and killed many Tatars. It's a pity that he died of illness like this."
Xue Xiangchen was not one to ignore the seriousness of the situation. Chu Gang had already called Wu Jingyi over, which showed that the situation was indeed critical. However, he still said, "You took most of the life-saving medicine for wound infection last time. The Jinling Guards have used some of it recently, so there's not much left. Doctor Ge is keeping a close eye on it and won't use it easily."
"Doctor Ge is not from the Jinling Guard. He was hired by the Yan family to look after Lord Xiao and the brothers Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao. I can't command him. All I can do now is take you in to see him."
Chu Gang knew about this and nodded quickly: "When you meet someone later, you have to help say something good about him."
At the same time, Doctor Ge was sitting in the dining room with Xiao Yeyang, Yan Wentao, Yan Wenkai, and several Jinling Guard captains, preparing to eat.
As soon as the kitchen boy put the food on the table, Xue Xiangchen came over with Wu Jingyi and Chu Gang, followed by Wu Dingbai.
Xiao Yeyang received the news as soon as Wu Jingyi and Chu Gang arrived. He had just returned from a business trip and was tired and hungry. He nodded to Wu Jingyi and the other two, then picked up the black rice porridge and started drinking it.
Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai didn't dare to do so, but they didn't do anything else. They just stood up and bowed, then sat down and started eating.
There are not so many rules at the border where the war is tense.
This time, in order to explore the communication methods between the Eight Kings and the Tatars, they relied on ginseng tonic pills to ambush on the grassland for seven days and seven nights. During this period, they hardly ate anything and were so hungry that their chests were sticking to their backs.
Nowadays, when I see food, I must eat it first as a sign of respect.
The other Jinling Guards were a little afraid to move, but seeing Xiao Yeyang, Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai eating calmly, they finally couldn't stand the hunger anymore, and after paying their respects, they also started to eat voraciously.
Xue Xiangchen knew that Xiao Yeyang and his men were starving, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing that Xue Xiangchen didn't say anything, Wu Jingyi also kept his mouth shut.
Although Chu Gang was anxious, Wu Jingyi and Xue Xiangchen didn't say anything, so he could only wait.
Wu Dingbai was no longer calm. He stared at Xiao Yeyang who was eating in the main seat as if no one was around, and thought to himself that Xiao Yeyang was still the same Xiao Yeyang as a child. Although he had grown more capable, his arrogance remained the same.
Commander Xue is his immediate superior after all, and his father is the Left Commander-in-Chief of the Five Military Commandery. In the capital, these two people are also the objects that the princes are vying to make friends with. He has to admire Xiao Yeyang for ignoring them so much.
Wu Dingbai looked at Xiao Yeyang. There was still a trace of his childhood between his eyebrows. But...how could a child of the royal family live such a rough life? The unshaven face was unimaginable, but why did he eat like he was in a war? He looked like a refugee who hadn't eaten in several lifetimes.
Slowly, a look of sympathy appeared on Wu Dingbai's face.
Before coming here, he felt a little jealous and dissatisfied when he heard his father always praising Xiao Yeyang for how outstanding he was. But now that he has seen Xiao Yeyang with his own eyes, he is no longer jealous. On the contrary, he feels very sympathetic towards him.
This guy looks so haggard, and you can tell at a glance that he hasn't had a good life in these years.
Poor child!
You should know that Xiao Yechen's life in the capital was quite comfortable. He went to school with the princes, and made friends with top nobles. He drove luxury cars or BMWs every day, and lived a very comfortable life.
And what about Xiao Yeyang?
Wu Dingbai glanced at the Jinling Guards who were busy eating in the room and shook his head. They were all rough and uncouth and had no manners at all when eating. If these people were in the capital, they would definitely be on his list of people to refuse to have any contact with.
Alas, I heard that it is very dangerous to be a member of the Jinling Guard. Xiao Yeyang, a royal family member, actually chose to be a Jinling Guard!
That's right, Prince Ping made Ma his wife, and now Xiao Yechen has the opportunity to compete with him for the title of prince. Xiao Yeyang has not been filial to Prince Ping in these years, so the position of crown prince may not fall on him.
In this case, we have to work hard to perform well.
Alas, poor thing!
Having practiced internal martial arts, Xiao Yeyang's five senses are sharper than those of ordinary people. In addition, Wu Dingbai's gaze is too strong, and he cannot ignore it even if he wants to.
After drinking two bowls of black rice porridge and feeling less hungry, Xiao Yeyang looked over. When he saw Wu Dingbai looking at him with sympathy, he felt sorry for Governor Wu. It seemed like his son was mentally ill.
