As the sun sets in the west, the green expanse stretches across the frontier.
Smoke rose from the cooking fires in the military camp, despite the great victory against Jinlou.
Moreover, they have returned to Qingyan's original border, and patrol teams can still be seen everywhere in the military camp.
There was very little gossip; the only sounds were shouts and the clashing of weapons during drills.
The sound of the patrolmen's well-trained and orderly footsteps, along with the occasional neighing and hoofbeats of warhorses, drowned out the noise.
Training ground
Because the battle at Jinlou was fought so brilliantly, the soldiers' morale was soaring.
Although it had been half a month since the capture of Jinlou, the soldiers' high spirits remained undiminished.
"General."
"General." "General."
Wherever Xiao Ji went, all the soldiers looked at him with absolute awe and absolute obedience.
They were different from those who had never been on the battlefield; in their hearts, generals were like gods.
As long as the general is there, they feel at ease!
As long as the general is there, they are not afraid of death!
As long as the general is here, Qingyan will not be defeated!
Xiao Ji was a cold and aloof man, but he responded to each one of them. Although it was just a simple nod and a glance, it was enough for these soldiers.
After inspecting the military camp, Xiao Ji returned to the general's tent. By then, it was completely dark, and night had fallen.
"General, your subordinate has come to change your dressing." A voice came from outside the tent; it was the army doctor.
Xiao Ji put down the military treatise. With Shang Changge not by his side, Xiao Ji reverted to his original demeanor, the cold-blooded and ruthless general, and succinctly said: "Enter."
The frontier is not like the capital. The capital is prosperous, while the frontier is poor and desolate. The weather is also different. The weather in the capital is slowly warming up, but the frontier is still cold.
A cold wind blew in, and a burly military doctor came in carrying a heavy medicine box in one hand and a small pot of steaming hot bone broth in the other.
The army medic was a burly man with a loud, rough voice: "General, please try this bone broth I brought."
Drinking this will warm you up and will also help your arm injury heal faster.
After speaking, she quickly changed Xiao Ji's bandage. Xiao Ji's left arm was injured, with the spear piercing through and damaging the tendons and bones, resulting in a terrible and hideous wound.
Xiao Ji didn't even frown. The military doctor, a hot-tempered guy, cursed and swore in his rough voice as he changed the dressing.
"That son of a bitch, Prince Jinlou, is treacherous and ruthless. Look at this..."
Xiao Ji stared at the horribly gruesome wound, his eyes darkening. A flicker of emotion crossed his sharply defined brow as he thought of something, and he asked:
When will I recover?
The military doctor shook his head: "How can a broken bone heal properly? I told you that you'd probably lose all strength in your arm in the future. Have you forgotten?"
Thankfully, it was only your left arm that was injured. If it were your right arm, how would you wield your weapon...?
As they were talking, the army doctor suddenly realized what they meant, exclaimed "Ah!" and said in a moment of enlightenment:
"You mean this wound? It won't be long. With the medicine I've prepared, you'll definitely be healed before you return to the capital. However, a scar is inevitable..."
Xiao Ji's brows relaxed; the scars were insignificant. The little rascal had seen and kissed all the scars on his body; he would only feel pity, not fear.
The little rascal wasn't afraid of the wound, but this time the wound was too ugly for his princess to see.
The medic kept rambling on and on. Despite being a rough-around-the-edges guy, he was surprisingly knowledgeable about relationships.
It was obvious that the general didn't take the injury seriously, so he used Shang Changge to persuade Xiao Ji.
"General, you need to take care of this injury on your arm and the other hidden injuries on your body. My medical skills are not good enough to treat you."
"After you return to the capital, you must find a skilled doctor to examine you one by one, so as not to worry Princess Anguo."
"Just don't try to hide it anymore. Didn't you yourself say that you and Princess Anguo would get married?"
You can't hide this from your spouse forever, even if you live together day and night after marriage. It was one thing if you didn't plan to start a family before, but...
Now that you're planning to get married, you must take care of your health. Only by staying healthy can you grow old together with Princess Anguo, right?
Xiao Ji took these words to heart.
