As long as there is a water source nearby, several simple sheds will be built in the barracks for the soldiers to bathe.

When it comes to bathing, it's just a matter of putting a few big buckets and a few scoops in the shed. The soldier who was about to take a bath walked in, took off his clothes and drenched himself from head to toe several times with a water ladle, even if he had washed it.

Gu Xuebin (shēn) was the commander in chief and the prince (diàn), so he had his own small shed for bathing.

However, he did not have much extravagant bathing utensils, and the same two large wooden barrels were placed on the ground, and a water scoop floated in the buckets.

Because he was afraid that Su Jinyao would wake up and not find himself, Gu Xuebin didn't dare to leave for too long, so as soon as he entered the small shed, he quickly took off his clothes and poured water on the water scoop.

After pouring three scoops of water, Gu Xuebin heard hurried footsteps and came to the outside of the shed, and then before he could put down the water scoop in his hand, Su Jinyao tore open the curtain at the door and rushed in.

"Che, are you here?" Halfway through the call, Su Jinyao saw Gu Xuebin holding a water drop of water in Ziyi (shēn) and a water scoop in his hand, a little at a loss.

Su Jinyao's eyelids jumped twice, and the rhythm of the needle's eye was about to come out, and she hurriedly grabbed the water scoop in Gu Xuebin's hand, covered him with an important part, and said with a red face: "I'm sorry, I woke up and didn't see your person, panicked." I didn't know this was where you took a shower. ”

Gu Xuebin was speechless. When the two of them are intimate, "frank and honest" is also in the thick (qíng) ten, which is much more natural. But it was really really embarrassing to be suddenly barged in by Su Jinyao to see the light when she was taking a bath.

Su Jinyao waved her hand, her face was as red as a big red cloth, and she hurriedly retreated.

Standing at the door, Su Jinyao held down her "bang" beating heart, and suddenly felt relieved.

Perhaps in a moment of extreme tension for the god (qíng), a sudden embarrassment can dissolve the anxiety in the heart. With such a small episode, Su Jinyao actually felt that the previous guilt, self-blame and nervousness had dissipated a lot.

Su Jinyao looked back again, and said through the curtain: "Che, you will wash it out in a while, borrow it for me here." I also want to take a bath. ”

"Hmm." Gu Xuebin agreed sullenly, and then said, "Then now, Jinyao, can you leave a little farther?" You stand here, I, I can't wash. ”

"Haha, okay, then you can wash it well." Su Jinyao had only heard of someone who couldn't pee out when they were watched, but she hadn't heard of someone who couldn't be washed.

However, the heart (qíng) was a little better again, and Su Jinyao walked back with a smile on her face.

After walking a few steps, Su Jinyao suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly ran forward two steps but felt that the direction was wrong, so she turned around and ran a few steps in the other direction, and finally grabbed a soldier and asked, "May I ask, where is the stable?" ”

"On the northeast side." The little soldier pointed, and then asked Su Jinyao, "Do you need me to take Miss Liu over?" ”

Su Jinyao looked in the direction of his finger, and only saw rows of barracks tents, not stables at all. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'm sorry for you, take me over." ”

The little soldier led the way in front and brought Su Jinyao to the stable.

Su Jinyao pushed open the fence and ran in, and a horse boy was brushing her horse. Su Jinyao went over and said, "Let me ask, what about the pocket hanging on my saddle?" ”

Ma Tong saw that it was Su Jinyao, so he politely replied, "Hello Miss Liu." Your stuff is on a wooden shelf over there, and no one has touched it. ”

"Okay, thank you." Su Jinyao thanked her, ran to the front of the wooden shelf, and sure enough, she saw where she put her pocket.

Su Jinyao grabbed it and reached out to touch it inside. When she touched the cowhide mask that the second prince insisted on stuffing into her pocket, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she didn't want to trust the second prince anymore, Su Jinyao still felt that she couldn't easily lose this. Even if the second prince didn't tell the truth to herself, she had a hunch that this mask was definitely not simple.

After putting away her pockets, Su Jinyao walked back. Ah Ye didn't know where to run, and kept circling around Su Jinyao, wagging her tail really like a dog.

Su Jinyao then remembered that Ah Ye was really the biggest hero last night, so she squatted down and touched its head, and said, "Ah Ye, you are really amazing, I will bring you two big (ròu) bones when I eat in a while." ”

Ah Ye understood, and his tail wagged even more happily.

While Su Jinyao touched Ah Ye's smooth fur, Su Jinyao couldn't help but think of the soldiers who were rescued. She knew that she had been unconscious for a short time, but she had slept for another hour, and her temporary military doctor was too unqualified to take care of the wounded.

Su Jinyao hurriedly ran back, ran back to Gu Xuebin's tent and saw that he had changed his clothes, his hair was still wet, so he stood outside the tent and looked around, obviously finding that Su Jinyao was not in the tent and was looking for her.

"Che, I'm fine, just went to find my pocket." Su Jinyao raised the cloth bag in her hand to show Gu Xuebin, and then said, "I don't know how the soldiers who came back are doing, if there are any particularly seriously injured, I want to go and see them." ”

"Jinyao, you just woke up, don't go." Gu Xuebin pulled Su Jinyao back with a distressed face, and said, "I'm also worried about them, but you are a woman after all, not to mention that you have been running around for a day and a night, otherwise how could you faint?" ”

"I ......" Su Jinyao wanted to say that she was because she met the second prince, and what she couldn't get entangled in her heart was self-blame. But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed again, and said, "I'm fine, at least I'm still alive, and I can do far more than you think." ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao turned (shēn) and was about to run again, but Gu Xuebin pulled her again and said, "Jinyao, if you insist on going, at least eat something and go again." ”

Su Jinyao asked anxiously, "Then do you have a prepared meal here?" ”

Gu Xuebin shook his head and said, "I'll send someone over immediately." ”

Su Jinyao broke Gu Xuebin and grabbed her hand, and said, "Che, I'm going to take a look now, if I go a moment earlier, I can save one more person." The rice is here and I'll be back soon. ”

Su Jinyao said, "I'll be back soon", but Gu Xuebin waited for more than three hours. When Gu Xuebin went to find Su Jinyao with two steamed buns, he saw that she was full of blood (shēn), and the blood on her hands had dried up to seep into the cracks of her fingernails.

And she didn't have the intention of stopping, she still crouched in front of a soldier's board (chuáng) and used the dagger in her hand to debride him. With each few cuts, the silver needle stabbed in the soldier's position was twisted again. The silver needle should be used for pain relief, otherwise there are really few people who can be hard to go down with a dagger for debridement like this.

Gu Xuebin walked over and stood behind Su Jinyao's (shēn). didn't bother her, just quietly accompanied her.

It wasn't until Su Jinyao bandaged the soldier's wound and stood up (shēn) that Gu Xuebin called her softly: "Jinyao, can you rest for a while?" ”

"Not yet, there are still twelve people over there who need immediate surgery." After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she pointed to another tent, and then said, "I have already classified these wounded people, those who need timely treatment, those who can wait a little longer, and those who can be handed over to others." The twelve over there are also very urgent (qíng) situations, and I have to rush over there immediately. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao bypassed Gu Xuebin and ran towards the other tent she said. Gu Xuebin was really shocked by Su Jinyao's words, he was busy for more than three hours, and there were still twelve who needed immediate treatment? How busy is Su Jinyao?

No longer caring about the prince's (shēn), Gu Xuebin followed Su Jinyao to the tent.

When I lifted the curtain, I smelled a strong smell of blood, and the scene inside looked even more miserable. Blood, everywhere; People, snorting miserably.

It's not that I don't want to scream, but it's because I'm so weak that I can't scream.

The eldest disciple of the old military doctor squatted beside one (chuáng), his hands were also covered with blood, and the silver needles in his hands were a little bent.

As soon as he saw Su Jinyao coming, it was as if he had seen a savior, and he said anxiously: "Miss Liu, you are finally here." The bleeding has stopped, but the severed limb needs to be removed, and I ...... I can't do it at all. The one over there (chuáng) has fainted, and I'm just afraid...... Miss Liu, which one do you want to treat first? ”

After speaking, the senior disciple of the military doctor saw Gu Xuebin, who had come in after Su Jinyao (shēn), and quickly stood up (shēn) and called out, "Prince (diàn)."

Gu Xuebin waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, I'm just here to see the condition of the wounded." ”

Su Jinyao glanced back at Gu Xuebin, walked over and shook her head at him, and said in a low voice: "Actually, these are the most dangerous. I don't mean to leave them last, but their (qíng) condition is the most complicated, and I want to save the most difficult, but most hopeful, first, and then them. ”

After Su Jinyao finished speaking, Gu Xuebin understood. The classification that Su Jinyao said is not from difficult to simple, but according to the degree of treatment, which one is the most serious but also the most likely to survive, which one will be saved first.

As for those who were almost seriously injured and died, the situation was particularly complicated, so they had to be saved for the end. At this time, it is really a matter of doing one's best and obeying the destiny of heaven.

Gu Xuebin nodded silently, quietly put the steamed bun in his hand into his sleeve, and asked Su Jinyao, "What help do you need?" I can redeploy people. ”

Gu Xuebin would not heal his wounds, and his share would never allow him to do so. It's not that he doesn't want to save, but (shēn) also represents the supreme command of strategizing. If he only concentrates on small things like saving people, he is not suitable to be a qualified coach. Only when it is critical to make the best arrangements is what the supreme general should do (qíng).

And now, Gu Xuebin feels that all he can do is to find someone to help Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "Xiao Wu has done a good job, he will come back soon when he goes to get the medicine." After a while he cooperated with me, and we managed to do as many surgeries as we could. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao suddenly remembered something, and said to Gu Xuebin: "I sent that combo crossbow to the craftsman in the camp, hoping that he can make a few more according to this structure." If we do succeed, our weapons will be much more powerful. When you brought the crossbow machine back, did you see the production drawings of Tie Teen or something? If you have one, you can call the craftsman over and teach him face-to-face. ”

Gu Xuebin shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Jin Yao, there is only one Iron Hand Cen in the world, if the secret weapon he created is so easy to imitate and make, there will be no prestige for him." For more than 20 years, even if he has lived in seclusion, he has never been surpassed. ”

Su Jinyao shook her head when she heard this, and said, "Indeed, there are some things that can't be imitated no matter what. ”

Gu Xuebin said: "But I can release a message and gather skilled craftsmen from all over the world to try to improve the function of the crossbow machine, maybe in the near future, there will be a good combo crossbow made." Even if it can't compare to this one of Tie Shou Ceng, at least it can improve its power a lot. ”

Su Jinyao nodded and smiled after hearing this, and said, "Then bother the prince (diàn)." ”

As he was talking, Xiao Wu lifted the curtain from the outside and came in, and was also stunned when he saw Gu Xuebin, and then he was about to kneel down and salute.

Gu Xuebin waved his hand and said, "No courtesy, you follow Miss Liu to learn medicine to save people, you have a lot of merit, and now you don't have to be polite." ”

Xiao Wu thanked the prince (diàn), and Su Jinyao beckoned him to cooperate with him to operate on a wounded person. At this time, Su Jinyao really couldn't think of communicating too much with Gu Xuebin, whether it was concern or (qíng) sorrow, she could only press it in her heart.

Gu Xuebin looked at it silently for a while, and then put the two steamed buns on the table next to him in a clean handkerchief. Then he quietly withdrew.

Walking out of the tent, the head tilted westward again. Gu Xuebin squinted at the setting sun in the sky, and the shadow of a person riding on a horse kept flashing in his mind.

Last night, Chen Kuo led 2,000 soldiers to stay desperately, and he didn't hold those war pythons for long. Just as the surrounding grass shook again, and a war python was coming, Gu Xuebin saw a group of people standing on the hill not far away.

The man at the head of them (shēn) is tall and strong, and looks quite familiar.

Although the distance was a little far, and the other party still had a face protector, Gu Xuebin still felt that he should know the person on the hill.

That is, after that person appeared, the war python in the grass seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then stopped.

Gu Xuebinzhi saw that the person on the hill waved his arm to this side, and he seemed to have a handful of medicinal powder in his hand. As the smell of medicine powder in the air emanated, the war pythons hidden in the grass completely retreated.

It can be said that it was the Qingfan man standing on the hill who used medicine to drive away those war pythons.

And now that I think about it, Gu Xuebin compared such a tall and strong (shēn) person one by one, and found that that person was very similar to the second prince, Cang Qianmao!

"Could it be him? Has Jinyao seen him? Gu Xuebin hesitated, not knowing whether to ask Su Jinyao for clarification.

He always felt that if that person was really the second prince, he was wearing the clothes of the Qingfan people and wearing the battle armor of the Qingfan people, but why did he drive the war python away and make way for himself?

Just when Gu Xuebin hesitated repeatedly, General Sun walked over with Chu Xiang, who was tied up with Hun (shēn).

As soon as Chu Xiang saw Gu Xuebin, he knelt on the ground with a "plop" and said: "Your Majesty the Prince (diàn), Chu Xiang did not obey the military order and changed the deployment of the battle without authorization, which made General Chen Kuo and the two thousand brothers ......, Chu Xiang should die, and I specially asked the prince (Diàn) to deal with it under military law." ”

"If you know you're wrong, why are you here now?" Gu Xuebin looked at Chu Xiang coldly and said, "I thought that you should have come to apologize your sins a long time ago." ”

Chu Xiang said: "Under the prince of Qiyu (diàn), it is not that his subordinates do not come to ambush their crimes, but that his subordinates and Chen Kuo's brothers have not been settled. These brothers were born and died, and it is not easy for them to come back, and I can't leave them alone and come to sins for peace of mind. "Chu Xiang is right, only by coming to ambush can he feel at ease. But those who came back alive, he really can't leave it alone.

Every time he faced the soldiers who survived, but (shēn) were badly wounded, the guilt and self-blame made him feel worse than ever.

Therefore, enduring the heartache to settle the brothers is also a punishment for Chu Xiang. Now that everything has been arranged, Chu Xiang asked General Sun to tie him up and come to Gu Xuebin to apologize.

Gu Xuebin listened to Chu Xiang's words, and he also sighed in his heart. Yes, they are all brothers who were born and died, and now that they are separated by (yīn) yang, Chu Xiang's psychology will not be easy.

But military law is military law, Gu Xuebin is not without deployment, and before Chu Xiang and Chen Kuo went to war, he specially explained and explained, and now that such a thing (qíng) has happened, the loss is so huge, it must be investigated.

Therefore, Gu Xuebin said sternly: "Chu Xiang, (shēn) is a general who does not give military orders, and should receive forty military staffs; Stubbornness for self-use, causing heavy losses, leaving innocent brothers in danger, should be beheaded. Now I will first punish you with forty rods, and remove you from the post of adjutant, and take you into custody in the barracks; After the return trip, ask in public. ”

Even if Gu Xuebin is the crown prince, he can't ask the generals at will without the royal decree of the saint. Even if Chu Xiang's death penalty is unforgivable, he will have to wait for the emperor to be convicted by the emperor's cinnabar royal pen after he returns.

Therefore, he could only be beaten with a military stick first, and then taken into custody. And he was not given the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and after he went back, he would be unforgivable.

But when Chu Xiang heard such a result, his face showed a hint of relief, he lowered his head and pestle, and said, "Chu Xiang thanked the prince (diàn)." Forty military sticks, it's too little. ”

If it is an ordinary person, if he is beaten down with forty military sticks, he is afraid that if he does not die, he should be seriously injured. Although Chu Xiang is a military general, he was also injured when he was besieged by the Qingfan people before, and these forty military sticks are equivalent to taking half his life for him.

But his heart was full of sorrow, and he felt sorry for his dead brothers, and only wanted to die quickly. Now that Gu Xuebin didn't directly beat him to death, it is really a few.

Gu Xuebin sighed, waved his hand, and said to General Sun: "Pull Chu Xiang outside the camp gate and execute it in public." ”

"Yes." General Sun agreed and pulled Chu Xiang up from the ground. said: "Vice General Chu, offended." And they brought him out of the camp gate.

A wooden stake had already been erected outside the camp gate, Chu Xiang was stripped of his shirt and tied to it, and two soldiers in charge of the execution were holding military sticks and came to beat.
