Chapter 270: Shen Yunying's Thoughts
Zhao Xiaofei, who was sitting in the car, always felt something was wrong with his arm. It was dislocated and he felt like his arm would fall off at any time.
Seeing Zhao Xiaofei rubbing his shoulder from time to time, Shen Yunying said, "Mr. Zhao! You feel awkward the first time you dislocate your shoulder, and you always feel like it's not properly fixed. I also dislocated my shoulder when I was practicing martial arts as a child. After Master fixed it for me, I felt the same way as you!"
"Thank you Miss Shen for your treatment, otherwise my arm would probably be crippled! I don't want to have to use only my left hand for the rest of my life!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Sir, there's no need to thank me! You saved me too! If it weren't for you, I would have died from excessive blood loss." Shen Yunying recalled Zhao Xiaofei's surgery that day. She couldn't forget the focused look in his eyes. He used a sewing needle to sew up her wound, stitch by stitch. He then applied medicine and bandaged it. Finally, Zhao Xiaofei said, "It's a pity we didn't have good conditions. Otherwise, the scar could have been smaller."
Liu Fei ran over and saluted, "Staff Officer Zhao! I've found out that the town ahead is called Hongfu Town and there's no one there. We can rest there for the night!"
"Okay! When we get there, let's take a good rest first, and then find out where my wife and the others went!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
After Liu Fei confirmed Zhao Xiaofei's identity, he obeyed Zhao Xiaofei's orders. There were eighteen people in total, fully armed. The bullets and gunpowder were basically untouched, so the combat effectiveness was still good.
Liu Fang and the others, along with Shi Rui and his wife, didn't know where they had gone. But they should have gone to Hanzhong, so they could only walk towards Hanzhong while searching.
"Yes! I understand!" said Liu Fei.
"Let's do more investigations in the next few days to see if we can gather the defeated soldiers. The more people we have, the safer it will be for us to return to Hanzhong or Chengdu!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Yes! Sir! Do you want to raise a banner? This will make it easier!" Liu Fei said.
Zhao Xiaofei thought to himself: If I were just a staff officer, I would have raised the banner long ago. But I am a prince, and if I meet the rebels who know me, won’t I die faster!
"With just a few of us, what's the point of raising a banner? Let's wait until there are more people!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"I understand!" Liu Fei went down.
Seeing Liu Fei leave, Shen Yunying asked, "Master Zhao! With your status, if you raise the prince's banner, the fleeing soldiers around you will quickly gather. Why are you being so cautious?"
"How would I know which of these people are traitors? If we meet a group of people who are all traitors, we will suffer heavy losses, or even be wiped out! How did the prince lose at that time? He was defeated by these traitors." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"I didn't think it through!" Shen Yunying said with a guilty look on her face.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Xiaofei quickly said, "It's okay! You've never led an army before! Lady Shen is a woman as gentle as the breeze, she won't be bothered by such trivial matters!"
Shen Yunying completely regarded herself as Zhao Xiaofei's future concubine, thinking about helping her future husband share his worries.
Zhao Xiaofei thought Shen Yunying was a woman of the underworld, and she wouldn't mind him seeing her thigh. He was saving her, so he didn't think much of it. Instead, he wanted to tell her about the march and the battle, how to use the musket, and how the battle was fought.
As they walked and talked, they came to another dead town. At the entrance of the town stood a memorial archway with the words "Hongfu Town" written on it.
The same bleakness, the same gloom, the same desolation and horror.
Zhao Xiaofei felt a pang of fear in his heart, fearing that someone would jump out again. Although he had the protection of the Kenan Army this time, he was still worried. He only stayed at the entrance of the town and did not enter.
Liu Fei came over and said, "Sir! I've sent people to investigate, and there's no one inside! I've also personally checked the surrounding areas where we could set up an ambush, and there's really no one. You can go in without worry!"
Zhao Xiaofei thought to himself: That's right! You can't be afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake once! So he said, "Open the way!"
A dozen people slowly entered Hongfu Town and found a dilapidated house that had previously been an inn. Liu Fei cleaned up the house and let Zhao Xiaofei and Miss Shen live in the same room.
Zhao Xiaofei said, "Liu Fei! Miss Shen and I haven't married yet! Isn't it inappropriate for us to live in the same room?"
"Sir! She's just a concubine bestowed by the prince. There's no need to be like this!" Then Liu Fei gave Zhao Xiaofei a look that all men understood.
Zhao Xiaofei really wanted to slap himself in the face for talking nonsense about Miss Shen being a concubine given by the prince!
Liu Fei walked out of the door in a very servile manner and closed it tightly. Zhao Xiaofei turned around and saw Shen Yunying, his face full of embarrassment.
Shen Yunying said: "I know that Master Zhao was trying to save me! Master, there is no need to feel sorry!"
"Then, Miss Shen, I'll have to inconvenience you and let me sleep on the floor!" Zhao Xiaofei said.
Not only was there no decent furniture in the entire town, let alone the inn, but Liu Fei and his companions only found a few beds after searching for a long time. So Zhao Xiaofei couldn't even sleep on a chair, so he had to sleep on the floor.
Chen Yunying quickly stopped him and said, "The ground is cold! You should sleep on the bed too! I'll be on the right, and you sleep on the left!" After saying that, her face turned completely red, all the way to her ears.
"Oh! Thank you, Miss Shen!" Zhao Xiaofei was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything polite. It was so cold, and he didn't really want to sleep on the floor.
Zhao Xiaofei fell asleep quickly. He was too tired recently! And his physical fitness was no match for Shen Yunying. He was too weak!
Shen Yunying couldn't sleep at all. She felt a little funny looking at Master Zhao who was breathing evenly, sleeping peacefully and drooling.
In the dream, Zhao Xiaofei returned to the modern era. When he returned home, he saw Qin Baobao holding his son Zhao Qiji. Zhao Xiaofei said, "Where are you going, my dear?"
