Chapter 291
From a distance, he shouted, "Jinyao, why are you here?" You okay? ”
"I'm fine, how are you?" Su Jinyao asked anxiously as she urged the horse to rush over.
When I came closer, I saw that it was indeed Gu Xuebin who came back with a team of people. And the flickering fires were the pine branches they lit for illumination.
The march had been during the day, and the rescue had been carried out quietly, so their team had not prepared torches at all. It is estimated that these pine branches were temporarily used as torches for lighting.
The current number of this team is more than 2,000, and it should have been rescued by Gu Xuebin. But there was no shēn shadow of Chen Kuo among these people, and Chen Kuo brought with him 5,000 people, and now there are only more than 2,000 people, and the other half of them ......
Su Jinyao didn't dare to think deeply, only hoping that Chen Kuo would break through from other places with more than 2,000 other people. She just greeted him and came to Gu Xuebin to take a good look at him.
I saw that Gu Xuebin's silver armor was stained with blood again, and after the blood stains dried up, a red abstract "ornament" was formed on the battle armor, which was beautiful and pathetic.
And there was so much blood that he looked wet. So Su Jinyao couldn't tell whether Gu Xuebin was injured, or only stained with other people's blood, or whether there was his blood and someone else's.
Gu Xuebin saw Su Jinyao's worried gaze and comforted: "Jinyao, don't worry, I'm fine, I only suffered some minor injuries." The battle is not very fierce, but the war python is difficult to get rid of. ”
Speaking of this, Gu Xuebin's eyes darkened slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh. Then he said in a hoarse voice: "Chen Kuo took the other half of the soldiers and insisted on entanglement those war pythons, so that I could leave with these people." But Chen Kuo and they ......"
There was no need to say much about the rest of the words, Su Jinyao could already understand what would happen to Chen Kuo and the rest of the two thousand people.
This is war, this is the bloody lesson, victory or defeat built with human lives and bones.
In fact, after a war is over, there is no real winner, only those who hold the royal power will really benefit. And those soldiers who lost their lives, those families who lost loved ones, will always be left with only tragedy.
Su Jinyao's heart also trembled, and her mouth was even more stuffy.
Gu Xuebin took another long breath, reached out from the horse, shook Su Jinyao's arm, and then said, "Let's go, let's go back first." ”
On the way back, Su Jinyao didn't see the second prince again. Only where they met before, a large stain of blood was seen.
Su Jinyao's pupils shrank slightly, and the last words that the second prince said to her sounded in her ears again: "Your arrow, even if it is inserted in my (xiōng) mouth, I still say that I have a clear conscience for you." "Jinyao, if we have the chance, let's eat roasted sweet potatoes again."
Su Jinyao was a little dazed and a little worried, and she was even more suspicious that the second prince who could say such a feeling (xìng) really deceived her? Or could she no longer be deceived by him?
"Jinyao, what's wrong?" Gu Xuebin found Su Jinyao's distraction, but he didn't notice the blood on the ground, and he thought that Su Jinyao was silent because of the two thousand people who were left forever. Then he asked with concern: "Jinyao, I know you feel uncomfortable, but war is like this." ”
"Well, I'm fine." Su Jinyao raised her head and smiled reluctantly at Gu Xuebin.
But she didn't know whether she should tell Gu Xuebin about the encounter with the second prince (qíng) just now. On the way back, Su Jinyao became more and more silent. Not only because of the soldier who could never come back, but also because the words of the second prince always rang in her ears.
Even though there were too many suspicions in her heart, Su Jinyao felt that she could no longer find an answer.
But if there is really a day to meet again, and when two people sit together, can a meal of roasted sweet potatoes solve all the doubts?
Answer, Su Jinyao really doesn't know.
Gu Xuebin and his men soon joined up with General Sun and Chu Xiang. After Chu Xiang saw Gu Xuebin, he silently lowered his head.
Gu Xuebin's eyes darkened slightly, and the hand that grabbed the reins tightened and tightened, but he endured it and did not have an immediate attack.
Now that there were so many soldiers who had escaped death on their side (shēn), Gu Xuebin knew that now was not the time to pursue them. He could only order an immediate retreat and head towards the high ground from Qifengpo.
The army of the Cloud Dome Kingdom has already set up camp on this high ground according to Gu Xuebin's deployment before. When the dawn first appeared, Su Jinyao saw a camp bathed in the morning light.
From a distance, the camp was surprisingly quiet, as if it were asleep.
But Su Jinyao didn't dare to think about whether these people who had slept peacefully all night would become people who would never come back tomorrow.
There was always a faint pain in her heart, and Su Jinyao even had the illusion that if the second prince really used her, then the souls of those soldiers who lost their lives would definitely come to her for her fate. She's sorry for too many people.
Su Jinyao never thought that she who was once a killer would now feel deep guilt and self-blame because of the dead person.
"Jinyao, are you tired? Are there any injuries? Gu Xuebin jumped off the horse and walked over, gently pulled the reins from Su Jinyao's hand, pulled his horse with one hand, pulled Su Jinyao's horse with the other, and walked forward slowly.
Su Jinyao looked down and saw that the glow that had just come out was shining on Gu Xuebin's silver-white battle armor, but the traces of blood on the battle armor became clearer and more obvious.
"Che, I'...... A little scared. Su Jinyao spoke with a trill, she couldn't bear the pressure in her heart for the first time, and she wanted to cry.
Gu Xuebin was stunned, looked back at Su Jinyao on horseback, and felt a cramping pain in his heart. He wanted to protect her and take care of her in the palm of his hand, but now he let her see the tragedy and helplessness of the war, making such a strong woman have tears in her eyes, this kind of blow is a shame for Gu Xuebin.
"Che ......" Su Jinyao called him again, and then his son (shēn) crooked and rolled off the horse.
"Jin Yao!" Gu Xuebin hurriedly threw away the reins in his hand, and caught Su Jinyao, who fell off the horse, with both hands.
However, Su Jinyao had already fainted, lying softly in Gu Xuebin's arms, and the whole person became lifeless.
"Someone, go call the military doctor." Gu Xuebin panicked, he didn't know what happened to Su Jinyao.
He originally saw Su Jinyao coming to find him, and thought she was fine. But now it seems that she must have experienced something that caused the current situation to happen.
Gu Xuebin's self-blame increased again, hugging Su Jinyao tightly, he knelt on one knee, and didn't even dare to take another step. Because he was afraid that Su Jinyao was seriously injured, and moving even a little bit would cause her to be injured again.
Chu Xiang and General Sun, who were following behind, were also stunned. General Sun hurriedly said, "I'll call the military doctor immediately." Then he rode his horse and galloped back to the camp.
General Sun was terrified, and he thought that something had happened after Su Jinyao left alone (qíng) and he was seriously injured. If that's the case, then the prince (diàn) will definitely not easily bypass him.
At this time, General Sun fell into a deep self-blame, and he really regretted that after rescuing Chu Xiang, he did not send someone to follow Su Jinyao Sui (shēn) to protect him.
The military doctor was directly pulled by General Sun and brought over. It's the old military doctor's big disciple.
Gu Xuebin had already sat on the ground instead, holding Su Jinyao in both hands and letting her snuggle in his arms, but he didn't dare to move again.
Chu Xiang stood aside and was stunned, and his heart was even more mixed. It can be said that he knew in his heart that his recklessness had lost the lives of many soldiers, and even his friend Chen Kuo did not come back.
And this woman, who he looked down on very much at the beginning, even went to rescue herself regardless of her safety. Now seeing Su Jinyao fainting in Gu Xuebin's arms, Chu Xiang almost wanted to kill himself with his sword immediately.
The eldest disciple of the old military doctor got down from General Sun's horse, ran towards Su Jinyao quickly, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with Miss Liu?" Where did it hurt? ”
Gu Xuebin glared at him angrily and said, "If I knew, what would I do with you?" Check her up, no matter what, make sure to cure her. ”
"Yes, yes. The prince (diàn) was happy and angry, and his subordinates immediately checked on Miss Liu. As he spoke, the military doctor reached out to put his hand on Su Jinyao's wrist, frowned slightly after checking the pulse, looked at Gu Xuebin again, and stopped talking.
Gu Xuebin pressed (xìng) Zi and roared in a low voice: "If you have anything to say, say it quickly." No matter what her condition is, good or bad, I want her to be safe. ”
The military doctor hurriedly said: "No, please don't misunderstand, don't worry." Judging from the pulse, Miss Liu should be fine. ”
"What do you mean it should be fine?!!" Gu Xuebin's eyes widened, and the corners of his eyes were about to crack. "Only good or bad, nothing should or shouldn't." How exactly did you become a doctor? ”
"Yes, the subordinate said the wrong thing, don't choose the words, please (diàn) forgive the sin." The medic was so frightened that he was sweating and wiped his forehead twice with his hand.
The military doctor quickly pondered the wording in his heart again before he said: "The subordinate wants to say that judging from the pulse, Miss Liu is just overworked and stimulated, so she is mentally overwhelmed and faints." As for whether she (shēn) has any external injuries on it, it needs to be further examined. If so, it shouldn't have been too serious, as there was no blood loss, proving that the wounds weren't the cause of her fainting at the very least. ”
When Gu Xuebin heard this, he was slightly relieved. But he said nervously: "But what now?" What can I do to wake her up? ”
(diàn), maybe now is the time to let Miss Liu have a good rest, which is the best treatment for her. Wait until Miss Liu sleeps well, give her a dose of soothing medicine, and she will be fine after a few days of recovery. Speaking of this, the military doctor frowned again and said, "As for whether Miss Liu was slightly injured, I think...... (diàn) can you help her check it carefully? If it is a skin injury, I have some ointment here, which can relieve pain and stop bleeding, and it is very effective for wound recovery. ”
After speaking, the military doctor took out a few small bottles from the cloth pocket around his waist, picked out one of them, and handed it to Gu Xuebin. The reason why this military doctor said this was not because he wanted to be lazy and not give Su Jinyao an examination.
Instead, he looked at the tense situation under the prince (diàn), and knew that this Liu girl was extremely important to the prince (diàn).
In his current judgment, Miss Liu only had some minor skin injuries at most, if he would have stripped her for examination. Even if he is a military doctor, it is difficult to guarantee that the crown prince (diàn) will not be blamed.
It is better to send this person (qíng) directly to (diàn) and let him check it for Miss Liu herself, which is the safest thing (qíng).
Gu Xuebin looked at the small bottle in the military doctor's hand, reached out and took it and put it on his waist. looked at Su Jinyao who was holding her tightly in his arms again, and asked, "I carry her back to the camp now, will it affect her injuries?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay." The military doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead again and explained: "Miss Liu has no brain injury, her five organs are fine, and she has no fractures, so she is not afraid of moving." ”
Gu Xuebin was obviously relieved, so he slowly got up (shēn) with Su Jinyao in his arms. The cautious movements, the nervous and deep (qíng) eyes, as if he was afraid that the treasure in his arms would be lost.
When General Sun, Chu Xiang and the military doctor saw it, they all knew in their hearts the importance of this woman to the crown prince (diàn). No one dared to say anything, silently got out of the way, and walked all the way back to the camp after Gu Xuebin (shēn).
Most of the soldiers in the battalion saw their commander, the handsome and resolute prince (diàn), carrying an unconscious woman back to the camp and carrying him directly into the main camp tent.
But everyone knows that this girl is the new military doctor in the camp, and in order to save the soldiers who were besieged by the Qingfan people, she spent the whole night running and fighting with the prince (diàn) and General Sun.
The gossip and all kinds of peachy conjectures that should have been turned into praise and gratitude for a little woman. No one would make up a beautiful and bizarre story about a woman who is full of benevolence (ài) to help others.
In the tent, only Gu Xuebin was guarding Su Jinyao with a nervous expression, and he looked at the battle armor on her (shēn) and didn't know how to start. It's not that I won't take it off, but I don't dare to take it off.
Gu Xuebin was afraid that Su Jinyao (shēn) would have any injuries, but he couldn't do it without checking. He had no choice but to take off his armor first, then rolled up his sleeves, and was careful when he started to untie Su Jinyao's belt.
Stripped off Su Jinyao's coat and revealed the light clothes inside, Gu Xuebin didn't have any special throbbing at this time, but was even more worried, opened his eyes wide, and looked for her (shēn) through the clothes first.
didn't see any blood stains through the tulle, so Gu Xuebin was slightly relieved. Just as she was about to take off her saree and check for any bruises, Su Jinyao suddenly moved and woke up.
Gu Xuebin's hand was still on Su Jinyao's collar, and Su Jinyao's opened eyes met his, and both of them were extremely embarrassed for a moment.
"Jinyao, you, you woke up earlier than the military doctor expected." Gu Xuebin stammered, withdrew the hand that was on Su Jinyao's collar, and rubbed his hand on (shēn) rather helplessly.
Su Jinyao rubbed the sun (xué), slowly sat up (shēn), looked around and understood, and asked, "How long have I been dizzy?" ”
"It didn't take long, and it was just a cup of tea. I brought you back to check if there was a wound on your (shēn). After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he sat on the side (chuáng) and held Su Jinyao's (shēn) son, looked her up and down carefully, and asked, "What do you feel uncomfortable?" I'll call the medic to show you. ”
After speaking, Gu Xuebin took the coat he had just taken off from Su Jinyao (shēn), put it on her (shēn), and was about to get up (shēn) to call the military doctor.
"Che, don't go." Su Jinyao hurriedly went to Ragu Xuebin's arm, pulled him back, hugged his waist tightly with both arms, and said in a trembling voice: "Please stay with me for a while." ”
"Silly girl, I'll always be with you." Gu Xuebin also stretched out his arms to hug Su Jinyao, hugged her in his arms, and said softly: "I really shouldn't have taken you there, you are frightened." ”
Su Jinyao knew that Gu Xuebin was worried about herself, so she said: "No, the battle was not so tragic, it was the wolves attracted by Ah Ye that caused chaos and wiped out most of the Qingfan people. ”
"Then when you came to me alone, did you encounter some ambush?" Gu Xuebin thought about it, it should be that something happened when Su Jinyao came to find him alone.
Because if there was a problem between her and General Sun when they rescued Chu Xiang, General Sun would definitely know about it and come to him to ask for an explanation. However, General Sun also looked worried, proving that he didn't know that something had happened to Su Jinyao.
At least it proves that when Su Jinyao and General Sun were together, she was safe and sound.
But when Su Jinyao heard Gu Xuebin ask about this, her whole body trembled, and then she buried her head in Gu Xuebin's arms and stopped making a sound.
"Jinyao?" Gu Xuebin called her name again. But Su Jinyao buried her head tighter, and refused to make a sound like an ostrich or raise her head.
Gu Xuebin had no choice but to sigh, patted Su Jinyao's back, hugged her and sat on the (chuáng), and tightly protected her in his arms with his arms.
But Gu Xuebin's heart has been pinched together, and it is difficult to let go if he can't get an answer.
"Che, I'm fine. It's true. It's just that I've been running around for a long time, and I'm too tired. Su Jinyao rubbed her head in Gu Xuebin's arms again, and then closed her eyes.
With this nestled in his arms, Su Jinyao could feel comforted. But the questions that have been tugging at her heart have not been solved at all.
"Jinyao, no matter what happens, you have to tell me. I believe in you, protect you, and am willing to share everything for you. Gu Xuebin gently stroked Su Jinyao's hair and continued: "But if you don't want to say it now, forget it, I'll accompany you like this." ”
"Thank you." Su Jinyao took a deep breath and tried to close her eyes a little tighter.
After another while, Gu Xuebin felt that Su Jinyao's breathing in his arms was getting slower and slower, and then her (shēn) son sank, and she should have fallen asleep again.
Gu Xuebin hugged Su Jinyao but didn't dare to move, and hugged him for nearly half an hour. But the weather was too (rè), Gu Xuebin smelled the smell of blood on his (shēn) was so strong, for fear of soiling Su Jinyao's clothes, so he put her down gently, hurriedly turned out a (tào) clothes and went out.
