Chapter 22: The Night of the Barracks
After Chen Ge went out, Wei Yuan sat with a gloomy face for a while, and then raised his voice: "Chuan Lu, Vice General." β
Immediately, there was a powerful answer from outside, and then a sound of footsteps was heard in the distance.
It didn't take long for Lu Wen to arrive at the commander's tent and salute Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan pondered for a while and said, "Find someone to keep an eye on Mrs. Chen, and report to me immediately if there is any situation." Also, find someone to go to Xunyang secretly to find out what kind of person she was in the past, she is a deep girl, when did she learn this skill of practicing medicine and saving people. β
Lu Wen immediately said, "Yes." β
After a pause, he said with some hesitation: "Didn't the lord read the letter that Ling Guan sent you beforehand?" Steward Ling once said in the letter that he also felt that Mrs. knew how to treat medicine was a bit abnormal, and he had already investigated it once, and the maid beside Mrs. said that Mrs. had been very interested in this kind of books since she was a child, and although she had no experience in actually treating people, she had read a lot of medical books.
Some time ago, for some reason, Mrs. Wu fell in love with Dr. Wu in the city, and worshipped him as a teacher. β
Wei Yuan didn't speak, but his face slowly sank.
He had read Ling Fang's letter, but the paragraphs about the woman were all in a hurry.
He was already disgusted with her, and it should be said that he didn't want to have anything to do with any woman in the world if he didn't have to.
What's more, she was married by Xie Xing, who knows if there is any careful thinking about Xie Xing behind this marriage, he is not surprised that there is anything abnormal about that woman, and he doesn't bother to care, but he just gives it to Ling Fang to deal with.
If he hadn't met the woman face to face today, he would have been so angry by her audacity that he wouldn't have thought of investigating her himself.
Seeing Wei Yuan's face, Lu Wen was taken aback, and secretly scolded himself for not opening which pot to mention, knowing that the prince didn't like his wife, how could he pay attention to everything about his wife? Hurriedly bowed his head and saluted: "Then the subordinate will go down to arrange it first." β
It's just that I feel a little pity inexplicably.
On the street today, seeing that woman saving a little baby so disregarding her image, Lu Wen's heart was not untouched, and when he saw that a woman could do it to this extent, at least it proved that she was a good-hearted woman.
It's also very bold.
Such a woman, he thinks that it would be good if she could become the mother of his own children.
It doesn't matter if she is Xie Xing's person or not, everyone is married anyway, if the prince has a heart, will he be afraid of what kind of storm a little woman will set off? The prince is not the kind of mediocre man who will be seduced by women.
After waiting for a long time, are you still worried about whether you can pull your wife's heart over? His mother once said that a woman is the easiest person in the world to satisfy, and all she wants in her life is a husband who knows her warmth and coldness, a child who respects her and loves her, and a warm and stable home.
But......
Looking at the unangry and self-righteous look of his own prince, and the obvious boredom in his eyes, Lu Wen was silent, and felt that the word knowing her warmth and coldness was absolutely not suitable for the monarch!
It's just that why the prince hates women so much is also a mystery that has plagued him to this day.
Wei Yuan couldn't help but think of the aggressive and eloquent appearance of the woman just now, and the fire in his heart couldn't help but burn again, snorted lightly, picked up the military report on the case again, and said with an unkind face: "Stand down!" β
β¦β¦
The other side.
After Chen Ge arrived outside the camp tent, a young soldier immediately stepped forward and took her to a relatively small, but clean and tidy camp tent not far away, and gave her a bucket of hot water to bathe.
In the end, he brought a set of clean clothes, blushed and said: "Madam, the camp is simple, and the subordinates have only received the order of the lord to go to the city to buy a set of women's clothes, and I don't know if it is suitable for the lady." β
The outfit was obviously carefully chosen, the materials were excellent at a touch, the top was a fresh turquoise, with a light yellow pleated skirt, which looked fresh and elegant, not too conspicuous.
Chen Ge took it with some surprise, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Thank you, I like it very much." β
Originally, a female mosquito in the barracks could hook those young men with strong blood to take a look, but when he saw such a beautiful woman smiling at him, the little soldier's face suddenly turned red to the base of his neck, and he stammered: "Madame likes it...... That's it! β
After speaking, he saluted and quickly turned around, but he was caught off guard and suddenly hit a pillar behind him.
Chen Ge: "......"
The young man suddenly turned red at the root of his ears, and hurriedly quickened his speed and left the place as if he had fled.
After he left, Chen Ge took a careful bath and simply tidied himself up.
Immediately, the soldier came again and brought her dinner.
This time, he was so nervous that he didn't dare to raise his head.
Chen Ge was a little funny, thought about it, and said, "Thank you, have you eaten?" β
Xiao Bing was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but raise his head, looked at Chen Ge with a touched face, and nodded heavily.
"Eat! Mrs. Xie cares! β
I didn't expect Mrs. Junhou to care about whether a little soldier had dinner or not! Madame is really beautiful, gentle and kind.
Woo, what a natural match with their lord!
After the soldier finished bringing her food, he left.
Dinner was simple, even a little rough, a bowl of vegetable soup, a bowl of large pieces of beef, and a bowl of white rice.
Chen Ge saw the beef that was bigger than the palm of her hand, hesitated for a moment, picked it up and tried to bite it.
Hissβso hard that it almost burst her teeth.
In desperation, she could only tear off the meat little by little, and after eating a few bites, she felt that it was too troublesome, so she simply ate a bowl of rice with the bowl of hot soup, barely full.
After dinner, it was completely dark outside.
Now that autumn is getting stronger, the sky is getting darker and darker.
Chen Ge sat alone in the tent, listening to the noise coming from outside from time to time, hesitated for a while, opened the curtain and walked out.
The barracks were full of sergeants, and under the warm bonfires, they were either patrolling, eating, or gathering to talk and laugh, enjoying the rare peace and tranquility after the war.
Some people even hold a simple lute, casually humming unknown tunes from their hometowns, and the intermittent music carries the joy of ending a great war, as well as a vague longing for a distant hometown.
Such an atmosphere made Chen Ge's heart warm slightly.
Although the man has a somewhat violent temperament, the military camp under his rule is strangely warm and harmonious.
It's just that she obviously stands out too much in a group of big men, as if a bright and delicate flower suddenly grows in a gray land, and even in this dim light, it is like a magnet that instantly attracts everyone's attention.
Fortunately, the organic soldier suddenly thought of who she was, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and the stunned group of big men suddenly came back to their senses, and hurriedly followed suit, and did not dare to stare at her openly.
But I still can't help but sneak a look.
Chen Ge could only deal with the past with a smile, and then, in order not to cause a commotion, she specially picked some roads with fewer people.
She's just bored in the camp and wants to come out and go around.
Who knew that as he walked, he came to a large camp tent with bright lights.
There was still some distance away from it, and Chen Ge heard the wailing and cries of pain coming from inside, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, feeling something, and speeding up his steps and walking over.
It was indeed a camp for the wounded, and in a huge tent, it was crowded with people, and there were seven or eight doctors interspersed with it, but it was obvious that there was a shortage of manpower, and some people were in pain and cried out again and again, but they could only wait for the doctors next to them to finish their work before they could save him.
