Chapter 57: I've Been Waiting
This is the real war.
Even though I have experienced several battles myself, none of them are as memorable as this.
hovering on the edge of life and death, he was forced to kill the beloved horse that grew up with him, saw the tragic death of his companion who got along with him day and night and became more and more affectionate, and saw Xu Nan almost die for himself.
Compared to this battle, the first few times were like playing at home.
The seedlings' tears soaked the pillow.
The curtain was lifted, and Maruko walked in.
He frowned slightly, sat down beside her, and probed her forehead: "Do you feel anything uncomfortable?" ”
He Miao didn't answer, she was uncomfortable anywhere, especially in her heart.
Yuanzi picked up the medicine bowl to feed her: "Drink, you are not lightly injured." ”
He Miao finished drinking the medicine and asked, "How is our general?" ”
She was talking about Xu Nan.
Yuanzi has never felt that the words "our general" are so harsh and ugly like this time.
He frowned and replied patiently: "It's okay, the wound is a little infected, but he is in good health and should be fine." ”
He Miao said, "I want to see him." ”
Yuanzi couldn't help it: "It's fine if he doesn't need you to see it!" ”
All of He Miao's negative emotions suddenly exploded: "I'll go and see what's wrong with him?" He saved my life! ”
She struggled to get out of bed, but Yuanzi pushed her over on the bed and said sharply: "He Miaomiao, do you dare to try again?" Believe it or not, I'll kick you out of the army right away? ”
"You dare!" He Miao roared back fiercely, pulling at the wound, grinning in pain.
Yuanzi sneered: "Why don't I dare? Here I have the final say! After losing the battle, so many lives were lost like this, isn't it time to find the reason? What's a tantrum like that? Did I put you on the battlefield? Female generals? Laugh at...... Do you think that a good murderer is a general? ”
He taunted her mercilessly, without mercy.
He Miao listened motionlessly, without saying a word.
Yuanzi frowned and looked at her carefully, could it be that he said too hard, and she couldn't stand the blow?
He Miao suddenly cried: "Huahua is dead!" It was my fault. ”
Yuanzi patted her on the shoulder, let her cry, and waited until she had cried enough before saying, "You rest first, and send you back to the station early tomorrow morning to recuperate." ”
He Miao slept wiltingly, always dreaming of the little flower horse, and cried wet the pillow in the dream.
When Yuanzi got out of the tent, he went in the other direction.
Xu Nan was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and opened his eyes when he heard the sound.
Yuanzi asked coldly, "This is the first time you have lost a battle?" ”
Xu Nan said lightly: "The third time." ”
"The worst defeat, 5,000 men and horses, died less than 500." Yuanzi's tone was straight: "You were injured to save her?" ”
Xu Nan didn't answer.
Yuanzi said harshly: "Because of her, will the reinforcements arrive faster?" ”
Xu Nan pursed his lips and said after a while: "No, the minister is not so boring." ”
"Not? Isn't it good that you shoehorned an inexperienced person into the vanguard ranks? Yuanzi sneered: "Are you helping her?" Or are you ruining her? ”
Xu Nan raised his eyes and looked directly at him: "She is very talented. She may not be comfortable now, but as long as she gets past this hurdle, she will impress everyone. led her into the team, but I didn't want to see an extremely talented person buried in the deep palace compound. ”
"How did you know she would be buried?" Yuanzi punched him in the face: "This is for you for her parents." ”
Xu Nan was beaten and rolled off the bed, looked at Yuanzi arrogantly, did not fight back, and did not admit defeat: "Does Your Highness still want to fight for yourself?" After all, if you lose this time, your face will be ugly. ”
Yuanzi didn't continue to move, and said proudly: "No need. I will take responsibility for this defeat. ”
He strode out and no longer looked at Xu Nan.
The next day, Yuanzi pleaded guilty to His Majesty the Emperor, assumed all the responsibility for the defeat of the battle, and begged for compensation for the wounded soldiers who died in battle, without mentioning Xu Nan in the middle.
His Majesty the Emperor unceremoniously scolded Yuanzi, fined him and beat him with a stick according to military law.
The soldiers who survived were all silent.
In fact, they don't really fear and admire Yuanzi, the young prince, they all feel that he is relying on his parents, born different, and high.
That kind of psychology is like killing a seedling covered in blood, suddenly seeing a clean round all over his body, and then thinking that he is an alien.
Because they're inherently different.
But at this moment, they had a subtle psychological change, feeling that the prince was their own prince.
When the news arrived, He Miao happened to go to visit Xu Nan.
Xu Nan's face was still very pale, and he squinted his eyes and said, "He punched me, saying that he hit your parents." ”
He Miao lowered her head.
Her situation, Yuanzi has been hiding it from He Lingyi and Bai Luoluo.
He came to the rescue of the vanguard that day, and he was also met with a lot of opposition.
But he said that a man cannot be without blood, and the duty of a coach is not only to coordinate and command, but also to be able to save his subordinates from danger.
Everyone thought that he was trying to establish his prestige and buy people's hearts.
In fact, she knew that he was more for her.
Sweet and sad, this is her mood at the moment.
Xu Nan said: "If you do something wrong, you have to try your best to make up for it as soon as possible." My injuries won't heal for a while, I'm going to the rear to form a tiger army, and your injuries will also be healed, will you go? ”
He Miao said very seriously: "This defeat is because you misjudged the situation, and I did not play a staff role. Assemble a tiger army together, start from scratch, become a real general on the ground, and avenge them together. ”
Xu Nan said: "Then let's go together." ”
He Miao went to say goodbye to Yuanzi: "I'm leaving." ”
Yuanzi asked her, "If I keep you, will you stay?" ”
He Miao shook his head: "No." I want to avenge Flowey, and I want to avenge my comrades. ”
"With Xu Nan?"
"Yes, I'm going to start from scratch."
There was obvious disappointment and sadness in Yuanzi's eyes: "Will you fall in love with him?" ”
"Not now." He Miao said calmly: "I like you very much, but if I stay with you, I can't do what I want to do to the fullest, and you can't fully exert my hands and feet, so I have to leave." ”
Yuanzi was speechless for a while, and finally smiled: "Okay, I've been here for so many years anyway, you're still so young, and I'm very young, you can take your time." ”
He Miao's eyes flashed: "Are you going to wait for me?" ”
Yuanzi lowered his eyes and looked at her: "I've been waiting." ”
He Miao smiled slightly: "I don't know how long you can wait for me, but I'm very honored and happy." ”
They are all still very young, they have seen very few people and things, and no one can say what kind of people they will meet in the future and how their minds will change.
