Chapter Eighty-Seven: Kindness

Gao Ding hurriedly stepped forward to check, but fortunately, the mouth did not hurt the artery, and Rao was bleeding nonstop. Gao Ding hurriedly handed the clay pot to his entourage, tore off the sleeve of his robe and bandaged the wound, and then ran to the village with the girl in his arms.

The villagers had been watching from a distance, and they panicked when they saw that the situation seemed to be changing. Later, I figured out that Gao Dingbian wanted to treat the girl, so he carried the girl into the house, cleaned her wounds, looked for herbs, and worked for a long time.

It took a while for the girl to come to her senses, and when she saw Gao Dingbian beside her, she asked, "Why did General Gao stop me from being martyred?" ”

Gao Dingbian said with a calm face: "If the war is not over, then I must continue to fight as a general, but the war between the country of silk and Goryeo is over." Enough people have died over the years, and I don't want anyone to die for this war again. ”

The girl burst into tears when she heard this, and said in a trembling voice, "Busan City is gone??????"

Gao Dingbian knew that she was not asking herself, but just sentimentalizing the people who had died. He said: "It is a virtue to be faithful to one's duties, but girl, you are still young, do you not care about your parents and relatives?" Besides, girl, are you so relieved? Entrust this matter to the next and go to death with peace of mind? ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl raised her head and was about to speak, but was stopped by Gao Dingbian reaching out for help. Because he saw that the wound on the girl's neck was bleeding again, it was clear that it was not appropriate for her to speak much now: "Talk about this later, or your wound will break open." I only did a simple treatment just now, and I don't see much effect on the herbs. If the girl does not dislike it, please go to Pyongyang with her to bury His Royal Highness the Prince. Moreover, there are accompanying military doctors in the army who can treat the girl's wounds, and Xioucheng is not far away, so if you feel unwell, you can recuperate there for a few days. If the girl wants to, she doesn't have to speak, just blink. ”

The girl lowered her head for a moment and agreed.

Gao Dingbian immediately ordered his entourage to rest for a while before returning to his team, and then took off his robe and gave it to the girl: "The army is full of men, and the girl's dress is too conspicuous, please put on this robe, and then find you some change of clothes when you return to the camp." ”

The girl silently took the robe and draped it over her shoulders, and walked out of the farmhouse with Gao Dingbian.

When the group returned to the team, it was already getting westerly, and Gao Dingbian arranged the girl in an ox cart and found a military doctor to treat her. There is no other medicine in this army, only the knife wound gold sore medicine is not lacking, and the girl's injury is not particularly serious, and the bleeding is stopped after being rebandaged. Gao Ding ordered someone to find some clean clothes for her, and arranged for someone to take care of her along the way in case she had the idea of dying again, and entered Xiou City after two days of marching.

After the army arrived at Xioucheng, there was enough food supply, plus Wang Hanxin and others who had to wait for the rear team, Gao Dingbian ordered the troops to rest for two days before leaving. It was then that he remembered the girl, and asked his men where he had placed her, and then ordered someone to visit the woman's room.

After these two days of recuperation, the girl recovered a lot, and after entering the city, someone served her to freshen up, and put on women's clothes again, although she was not called a stunning beauty, she was also a very elegant and beautiful girl. When the girl saw Gao Dingbian, she bowed and said, "The little woman has seen General Gao." ”

Gao Ding smiled when he saw it: "It seems that you are in good spirits, then I will rest assured." I have ordered the army to rest for two days, and if the girl feels unwell, she should recuperate here before she goes on the road. ”

"No, since the general promised to bury His Highness, the little woman should accompany her."

"What a stubborn girl. By the way, I haven't asked the girl's name yet. ”

"The little girl's surname is Song, and her real name is Qinghua. After entering the palace, the queen gave her the name Zijin, and the general called me Song Zijin. ”

"Qingqing Zijin, well, a good name. If you asked before the next question, I don't know if Miss Song still remembers? ”

The little girl naturally remembered. My family was originally in the north, my parents died when I fled, and then I entered the palace to do rough work, fortunately the queen's mother favored her, and I often taught with me, so I learned some etiquette. Therefore, the little woman is actually homeless, if it weren't for the fact that she still hasn't done this thing in her heart, I'm afraid that she would have died on her own. ”

"Then why does Miss Song trust Zai Xia so much? After all, in your eyes, you are a person from an enemy country. ”

Song Zijin smiled slightly and said, "If it were someone else, the little woman would definitely not believe it, but General Gao, you are different." ”

Gao Dingbian couldn't help but wonder: "Why does Miss Song look up to it so much? ”

Song Zijin said: "The general naturally doesn't remember that my village was ransacked by the general, and the whole village had their thumbs cut off, and I was the only one hiding outside the village." General, you found me, but let me continue to hide and not come out. ”

was said by Song Zijin, Gao Dingbian remembered in a trance that there was such a scene when he and Wang Hanxin led the cavalry deep into the territory of Goryeo to burn and loot. exclaimed: "Are you the little girl back then?" ”

Song Zijin nodded: "This matter is just a temporary kindness to you, the general, but I have always remembered what the general said at that time." At that time, although I hated you bandit-like army, I couldn't forget the helplessness and pain written on your face, general. Besides, thanks to your compassion, I was able to keep my thumbs. What the general said this time proves that I was right, although you are a notorious enemy general in wartime, but that is not something you are willing to do, and people like you, general, I can believe in your promise. ”

Gao Dingbian smiled bitterly: "Thank you girl, I am just a martial artist with blood in my hands, and I can let a Goryeo citizen say these words, but I feel disgraced." Over the years, he has earned fame and wealth, but he has become a murderer in the eyes of others. It seems that although we have occupied the whole territory of Goryeo, Yang Duhu has a long way to go to rule this land. ”

"Exactly. If you want to rule the country by force, the Goryeo people will never give up their resistance, unless you can put aside the attitude of conquerors and truly bring peace and prosperity to the people of this land. ”

Gao Dingbian couldn't help but look the girl up and down carefully when he heard these words: "Girl, your insight really makes you admire, if you hadn't reported your family, you would definitely suspect that you are the princess of Goryeo and not a palace maid." If you have to meet the emperor this time, you will definitely relay the girl's words to the emperor. ”

Song Zijin blushed when he heard this, lowered his head and said softly: "I hope that the general will do what he says." ”

Gao Dingbian saw Song Zijin's face like a peach blossom, this shy daughter's posture was something he had never seen in his seven-year military career, and he suddenly felt a warm current flowing somewhere in his heart, and quickly got up to say goodbye and retreated. When I returned to my bedroom, I couldn't calm down. He decided to find some wine to drink to calm his emotions, but unfortunately he lacked a drinking friend at the moment, and he couldn't help but think of his brother Wang Han Xinlai, and thought of what he had done, and his chest suddenly had mixed feelings.
