Chapter 396: The Benevolence of the Healer

Ye Heng thought of all kinds of possibilities in his heart, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He suddenly realized that he was so afraid of death now! If he died, what would happen to his lover, brothers, teachers and friends? What would happen to his parents who he hadn't looked for yet? They must be looking forward to being reunited with him, and what would they do if one day they came back and they were no longer alive?

Scenes of the past came to mind, and Ye Heng finally understood how sad and helpless the old priest was when he repeatedly told him, and how deep his love was!

"No matter what, you have to live well!" This was what the old priest told him the most, and now that he thought about it, Ye Heng finally really felt the teacher's good intentions.

"City Lord, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, although I'm a soldier, I really hate wars. I really don't want anything to make a career and soar. My biggest wish now is to accompany General Peng to deal with some military affairs like before, to accompany my family after work, to eat, chat and walk together, or to teach my children to practice martial arts, and to find a few friends to drink and brag in my spare time...... In short, there are a lot of things that can be done, but I don't want to fight!" Gao Lang looked at the city and said with emotion.

"If we can live, we will definitely live the life you want!" Ye Heng said affirmatively.

"I think it should be okay, but in this situation, facing rebels who are several times our size, isn't it too extravagant to say this?" Gao Lang smiled a little self-deprecatingly.

"When people live, they always have some thoughts, not to mention that we have not reached the most desperate time. Ye Heng said with blazing eyes. This sentence is not only for Gao Lang, but also for himself.

"Brother Ye Heng, I find that you are really suitable to be the city lord! You can always give people hope unconsciously, even if you encounter a dangerous situation, as long as you are there, everyone will not panic, ordinary people really don't have this kind of temperament! If we can defend Pingcheng, how about you stay and be our city lord all the time?" Gao Lang suddenly asked.

"I'm afraid not, I have my own things to do. Ye Heng refused, "I have to find my parents, it's not that I don't want to stay in this city." ”

"It's not a conflict, as long as everyone knows that you are still our city lord. I and Li Quancan handle the affairs of the city, you don't need to do everything yourself, just wait until you find your parents and come back to continue to be your city lord. In fact, as long as you are there, the military and civilians in the city will have a sense of security. Gao Lang said.

"But I am only an expedient measure to be the lord of this city, not canonized by the imperial court, once the war is over, the imperial court will not necessarily recognize my identity. Ye Heng said with a smile.

Gao Lang was stunned for a moment and said, "I will find a way to do this!"

"General Gao, don't think about it, let's call everyone to rest and eat, I always feel that the rebels will not be so easy to defeat the army, we must not relax!" Ye Heng said cautiously.

"Well, Han Kaiyuan is not so easy to deal with, who knows if he will brew any conspiracy, let's hurry up and rest. After Gao Lang finished speaking, he immediately arranged a certain amount of military guard, and the rest of the people let them hurry up and eat and rest.

The men in Heijo have been busy today, because they know in their hearts that the war does not know when it will end, and they must be able to serve the soldiers at any time. And in order to resist hunger, the pot has been slowly simmering beef, bones, roasting whole sheep on the fire, hot soup at any time, steamed buns and steamed buns in the steamer non-stop, all kinds of cakes in the pot, when it comes, there are hot things to eat.

Compared with the rebels, the soldiers of the Pingcheng Army were in a much better mood, although they also had casualties, but many of them were wounded, and they were all sent to the rear for treatment in time, and the proportion of deaths was not very large. This is the advantage of the defenders, since ancient times, there are very few cases that can capture the city without blood, if the defender is determined to exhaust to the end, the siege party can only be said to be a miserable victory even if it wins in the end.

The defenders of Pingcheng retreated to rest, many people had an appetite to eat, and the people who came and went to the city to deliver food were very busy, and they were divided by everyone after picking up a load or taking a basket of food. The person delivering the food immediately returned to the room and continued to pick up the food.

The soldiers, covered in blood stains and dirt, put down their weapons, grabbed delicious and warm food, and devoured them one by one. For the soldiers who have fought for a day, if they are not dead, and the comrades around them are still alive, there is nothing to ask for. However, when exhausted they eat the stewed soft pieces of meat, gnaw on large bones, and bite into the roasted golden mutton, the enjoyment of taste buds delights them, their hungry bellies slowly bulge, and the satisfaction of eating makes them re-energized.

The reason why Pingcheng's food is so good is entirely thanks to Ye Heng's stealing of the rebels' grain and grass before, for the soldiers who are desperate on the battlefield, apart from victory, what can comfort their souls more than a delicious meal? Compared to the food of the rebels, the Pingcheng soldiers and civilians enjoy a luxurious feast!

The first thing to solve in the emergency transfer of food from the rebels is the problem of food and clothing for the soldiers, and as for the quality, it is not something that can be considered now. You must know that Ye Heng stole the amount of the rebel army for three months with 80,000 troops, and when the army was hungry for two days, where did they care about whether the food was good or not, as long as they could not be hungry, it would be very good.

The soldiers of the rebels ate on warm but coarse food, swallowing with difficulty, and their mouths were full of bitterness. Despite this, the supply for each person is very limited, and for most fighters, they can only eat half full. Many people looked blank, and it could be seen from their expressions that they were not very satisfied with the food, but forced themselves to eat it in order to survive.

Half an hour passed quickly, the sun was setting, and the sky was getting darker. Ye Heng and Gao Lang looked around the city together. Love Book House

Seeing the arrival of the two, the soldiers immediately stood up and saluted, although they were dirty and couldn't see what they looked like, but judging from the expressions they showed, they were very excited.

The two of them were relieved to see that the gap in the city wall had been blocked, and a large number of boulders had been added to the city to block the back.

After descending the city wall, the two went straight to the place where the wounded were healed. The wounded were placed in the best compound in the city, which turned out to be the residence of the richest man in the city, with numerous houses and beautiful surroundings. It's just that after the war in Gupingzhou, the family left early to avoid trouble, leaving only a few servants to guard. It's just that after the richest man left, the servants divided up the valuables that he didn't come and took away, and fled as they went, leaving only a little girl to guard the huge mansion.

The maid later approached Gao Lang and asked for something to do for her, and she was willing to give the key to the mansion for the defenders to use. As soon as Gao Lang discussed with the generals, he set the mansion as a place to treat the wounded, and the maid was placed in the room by Gao Lang to help. After the people in the room knew the origin of this Yahuan, they admired her approach very much and took great care of her, and this Yahuan was none other than the beautiful and white girl that Ye Heng had seen twice today.

Ye Heng listened to Gao Lang explain the ins and outs of the matter, and immediately had a good impression of that girl. However, Ye Heng still felt that something was wrong, and said: "General Gao, a maid ring gave our master's house to us privately, if his master comes back afterwards, will she be embarrassed by her master after she finds out?"

"He dares!" Gao Lang blew his beard and glared at him, "When Pingcheng was in danger, all of them ran away, and no one stayed to guard their homes, if we didn't guard here, after the city was broken, his house would not have fallen into the hands of the rebels, and he dared to come back? Or the rebels burned Pingcheng with a fire, and the whole city became a ruin, where did he find his house? We are now used to house the wounded, this is to accumulate virtue and do good deeds for him, and he dares to embarrass Xiaoru, I can't spare him first!"

"Also, such a kind girl, if she is wronged because of this, I can't agree. Ye Heng said with a smile.

"Having said that, if we can hold Pingcheng, can we still watch Xiaoru continue to make maid rings for the Zhang family? I will directly leave him in the City Lord's Mansion to do things, and I will never treat her badly. It's just that the past City Lord's Mansion was ordered to be demolished by me, but it doesn't matter, let's build another one when the time comes!" Gao Lang patted his chest and said.

When the two came to the mansion that Gao Lang said, they saw a plaque hanging on the very grand gate, with two big characters "Zhang Zhai" written on it. At this time, the door was open, and from time to time there were wailing and screaming inside, and the medical staff were running back and forth in the hospital, very busy.

"City Lord, this is it. Gao Lang said and introduced Ye Heng into the mansion, and when the two of them were going through the corridor to go to the courtyard of Erjin, they were stopped by a doctor and said to them: "Please stop, the rear is a place for the treatment of seriously injured people, please don't rush in!"

"This is our city lord, we are here to visit the wounded, and we have no other intentions. Gao Lang said very politely.

"I know that the two of you have just come down from the battlefield, and they are covered with filth, and they will inevitably carry unclean things, and I am afraid that they will be passed on to the wounded, which will not be conducive to their treatment, please understand!" said the doctor, neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Gao Lang wanted to say something, but was blocked by Ye Heng, and he said to the doctor: "I don't know what you call it, let's come, first, to visit the wounded, and second, to see what you lack and what you need, we will find a way to provide it." ”

"My surname is Xing, thank you very much for your kindness, then I will say it bluntly, we are short of medicine, lack of good medicine to treat muscles and bones! In this war, many seriously wounded people are injured muscles and bones, although we are military doctors, we usually reserve a lot of medicine to treat injuries, but for seriously injured soldiers, the effect of treatment is not very good. I know that there is a bit of a dilemma for you two to say this, and now that the army is in chaos, where can I find medicine? I am just in a hurry, and I am just outspoken, so don't take it to heart!" said the doctor.

"Doctor Xing, the wounded soldiers, please you! We can't get out of the city right now, and we really can't help it. Gao Lang said ashamedly.

"General Gao, I also know that it is difficult for me to be strong, but this day I have seen that one by one the seriously injured people have not received the best treatment, I am too anxious in my heart, and I am a little unpleasant to speak, I hope you don't mind!"

"How many years have we worked together, who doesn't know who, how can I mind? I originally wanted to take the city lord to meet Elder Wang, seeing that you are so busy, then we won't go in. Gao Lang said that he was going to take Ye Heng away.

Ye Heng stopped General Gao and said, "I have some medicine here, I don't know if I can use it." ”

"City Lord, what medicine do you have?" Doctor Xing hurriedly asked.

"Wine, medicinal wine soaked in martial arts tiger bones. Ye Heng replied.

Doctor Xing gasped and said, "I'm tired of waiting here for a while, I'll go and invite Elder Wang!" After speaking, Doctor Xing ran into the inner courtyard like a gust of wind.

After a while, the doctor surnamed Xing ran out with an old man with half-white hair, and the old man said loudly as he ran: "City Lord, take out your medicine and wine for the old man to see, if there is indeed such a thing, I am sure to cure many seriously injured soldiers!"
