As soon as she was nervous and worried, the pain of the wound on her shoulder blade suddenly intensified, and she couldn't help frowning slightly.

The wounds on the battlefield in ancient times were different from those of modern times, not to mention the lack of anesthesia technology, and the wounds caused by arrows were larger than those of bullets left in muscles or bones. In order to remove the barbed arrow and clean the wound, it is even necessary to go through the process of enlarging and burning the wound, and you can imagine the pain that the injured person has to endure. Moreover, all this happened to such a small body with a weak physique. The pain and exhaustion Zuo Ying felt in this body were obviously more than ten times that of before.

In addition, now that there are one accident after another, the battle situation is urgent, and the whole situation is not optimistic, which makes Zuo Ying suffer physically and mentally.

"Your Majesty, please focus on the dragon body." The military doctor who was waiting beside her saw Zuo Ying's worried expression and hurriedly said.

Zuo Ying took a deep breath and eased her strength, "You don't have to wait here, go and treat the injured soldiers, I'm fine here." ”

The military doctor did not dare to resist the order, but when he left the emperor's side, he was afraid that she would have a word in case and ordered Helan Chu, who was serving here, to take his guilt. At Zuo Ying's insistence, he left the carriage.

"Report-" After some time, another outpost came to report, "A group of men and horses suddenly appeared in the front of the enemy army, and they turned against the enemy. The front of the enemy army was already in disarray. ”

When Zuo Ying heard this, she couldn't help but feel a burst of surprise.

The great significance of the defection of the enemy army to the dynastic army was not the number of defectors, whether these defectors could go into battle to increase their military strength, but in this way, the enemy army could be thrown into chaos. affect their morale. As soon as the morale of the enemy army collapsed, the chances of the dynastic army being able to win were much greater.

"Who did it?" Zuo Ying asked through the curtain.

"It's not clear." The Sentinel replied.

"Revisit." The sentry agreed, and rode away.

After a while, Tanma came again.

"Newspaper - Half of the enemy front has been rebelled. is turning against the war. The first person is a white young man in his twenties. ”

Such a description is almost the same as not saying it at all. But Zuo Ying also knew that when the two sides were already in close combat, the sentry could only rely on his own eyes to observe the situation. It is not possible to gather information very comprehensively, and to be able to know that the situation has turned around is already great news.

The dynastic army was surrounded on both sides and fought hard; The thieves of Ziyang City were trapped in the center and had no way to retreat, fighting to the death, and the tragedy of the battle can be imagined. The two armies fought until the sun was about to set, and then the main force of the thieves was annihilated, and several generals were beheaded. The rest of the men disarmed and surrendered.

When the good news came, Zuo Ying suddenly felt relaxed, and suddenly felt that her body was a little weak after fighting the pain for a long time.

After a while, Zuo Ying heard the sound of energetic horses' hooves outside from far and near, and soon Helan Chu's voice came from outside.

"Your Majesty. The enemy army has abandoned Ziyang City, and our army is pursuing the rest of Ziyang City and a group of bandit leaders. Please escort Your Majesty into the city. ”

"Good." Zuo Ying shook up his spirit and said: "After entering the city, I will reward the soldiers for their meritorious deeds." ”

At this time, another voice came from outside the carriage.

"Your Majesty......"

This voice is gentle and pleasant, which is familiar to Zuo Ying, but it is so dreamlike that people can't believe it. Zuo Ying's heart couldn't help but tremble.

"Scarlet Feather, please see Your Majesty." Again, the voice was real.

"Yu'er?!"

The moment the soldier lifted the curtain, Zuo Ying really saw the familiar figure with a slender body, fair skin, and a handsome face like a portrait, it was the one she thought had died in Ziyang City!

"Your Majesty." Helan Chu said: "In the first battle, Scarlet Feather plotted against the enemy army in the enemy army, and made great contributions, which greatly increased the morale of my army. ”

Only then did Zuo Ying know that the "white youth" described by the outpost just now turned out to be Scarlet Feather.

"Scarlet Feather, Your Majesty has a wound on his body. You go and be careful first. Helan Chu said in a deep voice: "The defective troops you lead, this seat will reward and appease them according to what you promised just now." ”

"Master Xie!" After thanking Dade in gratitude, Scarlet Feather boarded the carriage.

As soon as he got into the car, Scarlet Feather knelt at Zuo Ying's feet again, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty...... Scarlet Feather's rescue is too late...... Your Majesty's Wounded ......"

Looking at Scarlet Feather, who was reunited after parting, and listening to his almost choked voice, the joy in Zuo Ying's heart could not be concealed.

"Yu'er." Zuo Ying stretched out her uninjured arm and cupped Scarlet Feather's drooping face.

His eyes were full of excitement, and the joy of the reunion was full of tears. Her fair face was flushed at the moment, as if she was trying to suppress serious tears. But his tears still burst out of his eyes the moment he raised his head and looked at Zuo Ying, and flowed down his cheeks and from his cheeks.

He wanted to turn his face sideways, so as not to let Zuo Ying see his tears, but he was reluctant to turn his face sideways - grasping every second to see the haunting face in front of him clearly, carefully, and in detail, it was the biggest greed in his heart.

Zuo Ying held Scarlet Feather's face and gently wiped away the tears on his face with her fingers, "Yu'er, I thought you were dead...... I ......"

There was a violent jolt in the carriage, interrupting Zuo Ying's words. That sudden upheaval also broke Zuo Ying's wound, so she couldn't help but let go of the hands holding Scarlet Feather's face, and let out a low groan, and her body involuntarily leaned to the side.

"Your Majesty, how are you?" Scarlet Feather didn't care about etiquette, so she quickly got up and sat down beside Zuo Ying, carefully supporting her.

"I'm fine." Although she said so, Zuo Ying had already clenched her teeth in pain, and leaned weakly on Scarlet Feather's shoulder, "It's fine that you're back." ”

Scarlet Feather held Zuo Ying in his arms, if it weren't for her injuries at the moment, he knew that this must be a moment that would make him extremely happy, but now looking at Zuo Ying's uncomfortable appearance, and he didn't know what to do to alleviate her pain, his heart was as uncomfortable as being ripped off a piece of flesh.

Zuo Ying's eyes widened, although he couldn't see Scarlet Feather's expression, and he didn't hear him speak, but he could already guess his distress.

"Yu'er, where are you all these days? Why is it among the enemy forces? Tell me about it. She said weakly, trying to distract Scarlet Feather and dilute her pain.

"Back to Your Majesty," Scarlet Feather said cautiously in Zuo Ying's ear: "Scarlet Feather was seriously injured by thieves and fell into a coma on the street on the night she separated from Your Majesty, but fortunately she was rescued by a girl - that is, the little Fu'er girl we met outside Ziyang City - fortunately she rescued her, hid Scarlet Feather in the abandoned mansion, healed Scarlet Feather, and sent water and food every day, Scarlet Feather was able to live to this day and meet His Majesty." Scarlet Feather was trapped in Ziyang City, and when he heard that His Majesty had successfully escaped, he couldn't wait for His Majesty to return to His Majesty's side every day, and he couldn't wait to grow wings and fly outside the city walls. I only hate the thieves and soldiers to guard it tightly, and the city is closed for half a month, so that Scarlet Feather can't do what he wants. ”

Scarlet Feather's voice came softly and gently in her ears, and her love was as sincere as the whisper in the ear of a person in love, which made Zuo Ying's heart surge. She recalled that night when she fled in Ziyang City, in order to buy her time to escape, Scarlet Feather fought alone with dozens of thieves, and the white clothes on her body were stained with blood, she still couldn't help but feel a faint pain in her heart, but she felt that this moment was precious and emotional.

"Yu'er, you've suffered. This little Fu'er has made a great contribution, and I must reward her well. Zuo Ying raised her head and looked at Scarlet Feather and said, "How are the injuries on your body now?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Scarlet Feather's injuries have healed. Your Majesty, please, don't worry. Scarlet Feather lowered her eyebrows and said: "Miss Xiaofu'er introduced a few fellow uncles and brothers who strayed into the thief camp to Scarlet Feather, so Scarlet Feather secretly plotted with them to defect to Scarlet Feather. This time the thieves went out of the city, and Scarlet Feather also got the news from them in advance, and then mixed in with the army with their help, and happened to participate in this rebellion. ”

"It seems that this little Fu'er's contribution not only saved you, but also indirectly helped our army win this crucial victory." Zuo Ying smiled and said, "Where is she now?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty," Scarlet Feather continued to whisper, "Little Fu'er girl is now in Ziyang City. Before leaving the city, Scarlet Feather arranged her in a safe place and waited for our army to enter the city victoriously. ”

Zuo Ying could faintly hear that the relationship between Scarlet Feather and this little Fu'er was extraordinary, as if there was already some kind of tacit understanding and deep connection. In fact, even according to common sense, a seriously injured young man was taken care of for most of the month by a young girl who brought water and food every day, and took care of him warmly for most of the month.

But this time, I don't know if it's because of her weak body and bad spirit, Zuo Ying didn't have the slightest intention of making fun of it, but she didn't know why she felt faintly sour in her heart.

"That's good," Zuo Ying didn't reveal her inner feelings, "After entering the city, you bring her to see me, and I will be rewarded." ”

Scarlet Feather said with a little joy: "Scarlet Feather first thanked Your Majesty for the grace of Miss Xiaofu'er." ”

This thank you made Zuo Ying's judgment more solid.

By the time the dynastic army entered the city, it was already dark.

The vanguard troops had already advanced to the city to sweep away all kinds of hidden dangers that might be lurking, completely controlled the four city gates, and cleaned up the Taishou Mansion again, before welcoming Zuo Ying into the mansion.

Because it was too late, the various departments counted the damage, discussed the merits and reported them layer by layer, and they didn't have time to report to Zuo Ying for their meritorious deeds, so Zuo Ying was able to rest for one night first, and then meet with the generals tomorrow to commend them.

"Your Majesty, Scarlet Feather and Miss Xiaofu'er are asking to see you outside the door." The doorman came to Zuo Ying's bedroom and said respectfully.
