Chapter 41: Funan City
Su Zhiyuan didn't expect that there were women in the barracks, seeing that her position was not low, and her strategy and martial arts were not bad, she admired it very much.
"It's rare to see a female general, you're really amazing!"
Shangguan Yan often messes around with men, and it is rare to see such a beautiful girl as Su Zhiyuan, who was actually blushed by such a simple compliment.
"Miss Su, General Su, let's hurry back to the city, in case that group of people finds out that they have been fooled and are outflanking back, we may all be finished."
Or the little scout just reminded them.
"Well, you're right, let's go first."
On the way, Shangguan Yan was sure that there were really only six of them, and when they saw such a big movement behind the woods, they thought that there were really reinforcements from a large army.
"Who of you just came up with a way to blow them up?" Shangguan Yan admired the person who could come up with this method.
"It's all Kite who thought about it, saying that I saw in a book that a general had done this before, and the situation was urgent at that time, and we could only take a risk." Thinking about it now, Su Linghao feels that his sister is indeed very smart.
"Really? You're so smart, Sister Kite, which book are you reading? I'd like to check it out too. Shangguan Yan also looked at Su Zhiyuan with red eyes, and her admiration was beyond words.
"Huh? None of you have seen it! ”
It turns out that this world has not experienced the history of the Three Kingdoms, so it is impossible to have a book like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Su Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed, and paused for a while: "The books I read are quite miscellaneous, and I can't remember what I saw in that book for a long time." ”
"Oh, Sister Kite is still hiding her secrets, but, General Su, I like your sister, she is good-looking and smart."
Shangguan Yan is also a self-acquaintance, although Su Zhiyuan didn't tell him about the book, she didn't care, but instead opened the topic with Su Linghao.
"Then you don't know, my sister has no mother since she was a child, and then she was frightened, and she couldn't hear or make a sound for a long time in between."
When Su Linghao thought of Su Zhiyuan's previous suffering, he couldn't help but feel secretly sad.
Shangguan Yan was also taken aback, and looked at Su Zhiyuan in disbelief: "Oh my God, then you can still read so many books, you are really amazing!" ”
Su Zhiyuan just shook her head lightly and smiled, and didn't explain, what could she say, saying that she was not without suffering?
Or that he is not the previous Su Zhiyuan, it is obviously not good.
can only cover up the past in this way, but the more this is the case, the more Su Linghao feels that she must have received a lot of extraordinary treatment, and she is even more distressed.
Seeing the gloom and distress in Su Linghao's eyes, Su Zhiyuan hurriedly opened the topic: "Sister Shangguan, how did you encounter those enemies?" ”
Shangguan Yan was a little embarrassed, glanced at Su Linghao, and saw that he didn't blame himself, so he said: "Today I took a group of people out to inspect the surrounding situation, but I didn't expect that I was not found when I was in the past, but I was actually found on the way back, my brothers and I struggled to escape, and we were still caught up here, to be honest, if you hadn't come in time today and scared them away, we would have become prisoners of the enemy today." ”
Su Zhiyuan was also secretly frightened, the situation just now was really terrifying, if they didn't arrive in time, or the enemy didn't believe her at all, it was estimated that all the people would suffer now.
"Be careful next time you go out, bring more people if you can." Su Linghao didn't mean to blame, but just said two words earnestly.
Because of this delay, it was already evening when they returned to the city.
In the end, there are defenders, and the city is generally much more lively than outside, but at night you can only see the houses on both sides of the street showing a little light, and the rest is pitch black.
Su Linghao explained: "There used to be a night market here, but after the outbreak of the war, it was stipulated that they must close the market when they arrived, so as to minimize the entry and exit of spies. ”
Su Zhiyuan said that he could understand.
She saw a group of patrols occasionally walking by on the street, and she knew more about Su Linghao and Sikong Mubai in her heart, and suddenly thought of Sikong Mubai, Su Zhiyuan was slightly stunned in her heart.
Because Su Linghao is the general of Zhenguo, he has his own general's mansion in this border city known as Funan City, Shangguan Yan's father used to be a deputy general under Su Linghao, and now he can't move because he is seriously injured, Su Linghao arranged for him to live in a small courtyard next to him, and he can discuss the current form of the battle together on weekdays.
After all, he is an old man who has been on the battlefield all his life, and sometimes the advice he can give is no worse than that of those staff officers.
Now Shangguan Yan is also following Su Linghao, she has excellent light skills and keen feelings, so she has always done a good job as a scout lieutenant under Su Linghao.
"Yanzi, come to my house to bandage it in a while, I see that the injury on your arm seems to be quite serious, don't fall into any illness." Su Linghao saw that the wound on her arm was oozing blood all the time, and she was still quite worried.
"Okay, lest my father talk about me again when I go back." Shangguan Yan smiled heartily.
Su Zhiyuan suddenly envied Shangguan Yan a little, she really lived out herself, so she could be so happy.
Back in the house, everyone was excited when they saw Su Linghao coming back, many people in his house were injured on the battlefield, such as Lao Ding, who was the gatekeeper, was lame with a leg, and there was no one else at home, so he lived with Su Linghao, usually watching the gate, cleaning the yard, and the third uncle in the kitchen, who also grew up in this city, Bai Xin, who raised horses in the backyard, was injured and blind in one eye on the battlefield, and his wife ran away with someone when he went home, and he couldn't figure it out for a while, and came back to Su Linghao.
So there are basically not a few people in his yard.
But they saw that Su Linghao was also grateful in their hearts, and after Su Linghao introduced Su Zhiyuan and He Zhenzhen to them, the third uncle and his wife hurriedly said: "Hey, there are still such two petites, hurry up, take a piece of the bacon I smoked a few years ago, and make something to eat for the two peters, really, we don't know that the general is coming back." ”
"I'm going to boil water, it's hard along the way, I'll clean up the guest room after eating and washing up after a while."
“……”
Seeing their excited appearances and their scramblings, Su Zhiyuan felt a kind of warmth for the first time, she looked at her brother, and finally understood the reason why he could stay here for so many years.
Of course, Su Linghao originally came to Funan City to fight for a future for his two younger sisters, but now he really can't leave.
Even if the war subsides in the future, he will not be able to return to the noble prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital.
Su Linghao went with them lively, and just ordered the military doctor to come over and help the group of injured soldiers examine their wounds.
Shangguan Yan's wound was personally handled by He Zhenzhen and Su Zhiyuan, Su Zhiyuan took scissors to cut the rags on her arm, only to find that the wound on her arm was so deep that it almost touched the bones, fortunately it didn't hurt the meridians, otherwise this girl would have suffered.
He Zhenzhen called hot water to help her clean the places where the blood scabs had formed, and Su Zhiyuan borrowed needles and threads from the military doctor to help her sew up the wounds.
Shangguan Yan didn't say a word from beginning to end, only beads of sweat the size of beans kept falling from her face, otherwise Su Zhiyuan almost thought that she really didn't hurt.
"Sister, don't you hurt?"
He Zhenzhen couldn't bear to look at it.
Shangguan Yan chuckled: "Heh, if you get used to it, it won't hurt so much, but Sister Su, you have good medical skills, it's this needlework...... Tsk......"
Seeing that she still had the strength to laugh at herself, Su Zhiyuan really admired her courage and perseverance.
After Su Zhiyuan and He Zhenzhen had dealt with the injuries on her arms and legs, Su Linghao took another set of her own cotton gowns and put them on for her, and at this time, the third uncle and his wife also simply cooked some meals.
"Yanzi, why are you injured today, I see that many of your guys have been injured, what's the matter?"
Although the third uncle doesn't know how to fight, he has lived in Funan City since he was a child, and what he likes most is to listen to them talk about war.
"Today," Shangguan Yan unceremoniously picked up a steamed bun first, bit down a large piece, chewed and swallowed, and continued: "Today we didn't alarm the group of grandchildren, but we didn't expect to be discovered by their Hai Dongqing when we returned to the city, more than 300 grandchildren caught up, we ran all the way, if it weren't for Miss Ben's vigorous posture, I guess you wouldn't have seen me!" ”
As he spoke, he took another bite of the steamed bun.
Seeing that she was still saying this, Su Linghao glared at her seriously: "Don't rely on your own light skills in the future, you will easily provoke them, if we don't pass by today, I'm afraid you really won't be able to come back." ”
"That's right, Miss Ben's life shouldn't be broken, but Sister Su, I really admire your brain, you can come up with such an idea, thank you so much today!"
Hearing this, the third uncle and Lao Ding hurriedly asked what happened.
Shangguan Yan told them again that a group of them were besieged and saved by Su Zhiyuan with that kind of deception, and everyone looked at Su Zhiyuan differently.
"It's really amazing, I thought that the coquettish guests from the capital were all ten fingers that didn't touch the spring water, but I didn't expect Miss Su to be a heroine among women!"
The third uncle's eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Su Zhiyuan.
"You're welcome."
Several people chatted while eating, and after eating, Su Zhiyuan and He Zhenzhen were sent to the room that had been prepared a long time ago, and there was really a bucket of bath water in each room.
Su Zhiyuan was grateful to them for taking care of him in his heart, which he had never felt in the Prime Minister's Mansion, even in his previous life, he had never had this kind of warmth, which made Su Zhiyuan even more determined that he should stay for a while longer, even if he couldn't help Su Linghao with anything, it was more comfortable to feel the environment here than returning to Beijing.
Early the next morning, as soon as Su Zhiyuan got up, Shangguan Yan came over, saying that she was looking for her to help change the dressing and bandage, but Su Linghao saw through it: "You just came here to eat, right, what did your father do this morning that you don't like to eat?" ”
Shangguan Yan spread his hands helplessly: "He is those things, I can't get used to eating horizontal and vertical, and the general has a pair of chopsticks for me, and I can't eat you." ”
After eating, Shangguan Yan pulled Su Zhiyuan and said: "I'll take you around after dinner, I happened to be injured in the past few days and want to rest, I see that you seem to be quite proficient in the art of war, it is better to go together to see the terrain here and our defense, and you can also give us advice." ”
This one......
Su Zhiyuan looked at Su Linghao and said secretly: This should be a military secret, is it really good to know it?
"It's okay, I also think you're quite talented, follow the swallow to have a look, come back and tell me what you think."
Su Linghao also agreed to let Su Zhiyuan go to see the terrain or something, from yesterday's incident, he had already seen that Su Zhiyuan's talent was very good, if it took a long time, maybe he could really give good advice.
"Okay, I'll go out for a walk."
Shangguan Yan saw that she agreed, so he brought her a set of his own very narrow clothes, the two of them tied up the cuffs and trouser legs, and brought a hat, Shangguan Yan put a short knife, a bow, and a bucket of arrows on their backs, and the two set off.
While climbing up the mountain, Shangguan Yan explained to Su Zhiyuan: "Funan City is dry and rainy all year round, but there is a kind of snake here, which is very poisonous, called tabby snake, the whole body is red, black and blue spots, no matter people or animals, as long as they are bitten, they will die nine times out of ten, and this kind of snake only lives in this vicinity, and it does not hibernate much, even in winter, as long as the weather is good, you can also meet them." ”
Su Zhiyuan looked at his tightly tied arms and legs, and finally understood the role of this thing.
