Chapter Seventy-Two: Grain and Grass
He Anyue endured the pain and pulled out the thorns that she could reach, and then said embarrassedly, "Meng Lu... Iā" She was too embarrassed to speak, and her weak body was not able to support her to continue.
Meng Lu turned around and lowered his head, "I'll come." He squatted down and looked carefully at the staggered wounds and some of the thorns on He Anyue's smooth back, very distressed and guilty, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well." ā
"Nope." He Anyue shook her head, enduring Meng Lu's clumsy grip on her with the thorn strip embedded in the wound.
"Alright." Meng Lu looked for the surrounding grass and trees, pulled out some medicinal herbs and put them in his hands, crushed them, poured the grass juice on He Anyue's back, and then gently smeared them with his fingertips.
"Put on your clothes." Meng Lu didn't look at He Anyue again, "After you go back, don't bathe for seven days, and you don't need to wipe other injuries to recover." Meng Lu turned around and didn't think much about He Anyue.
"They already know that there is a shortage of grain and grass, and they must take action, we must hurry back and report to General He." Meng Lu heard He Anyue's voice trying to speed up dressing, and slowed down his tone, "What are you doing with a woman coming to the barracks?" ā
"Find my daddy." He Anyue fastened her buttons and staggered to her feet.
"Did you find it?" Meng Lu held He Anyue, who was still weak.
"Yes." He Anyue smiled and squinted her eyes at Meng Lu, "Will you help me keep it a secret?" ā
Meng Lu lowered his head, "I won't say it for a while." ā
He Anyue nodded, she didn't expect Meng Lu to keep her secret, but he also told his father at most, or Li Xuanwu.
Meng Lu watched He Anyue try to walk, stopped and picked up He Anyue. "I'll carry you on my back, hurry up."
"Yes." He Anyue nodded, quietly attached to his ear, and said softly, "Thank you, brother." ā
Meng Lu was stunned, it seemed that for three years, no one called him brother. Worry-free, okay?
"General, that's the way it is, there are spies in the barracks." Meng Lu knelt down on one knee and clenched his hands into fists.
He Fei frowned and nodded. "Where's the little military division?"
"My mistake hurt him." Meng Lu lowered his head in shame.
"What?" He Fei's stiff tone showed his uneasiness, "Is it serious?" ā
"There is no major life, just rest for a few days." Meng Lu explained what had happened and withdrew.
He Fei closed his eyes, knowing that there was a shortage of food and grass, and he was already an important person inside, he didn't want to doubt his henchmen, but he had to admit that he needed to reconsider who his "henchmen" included.
"Meng Lu..."He Fei whispered his name, and his mind was reminded of the first time he had seen him three years ago... Is his word worth believing?
On the other side, Li Xuanwu hurriedly ran to He Anyue's bedside, looking at her closed eyes and pale face, and suddenly panicked.
He stretched out his hand tremblingly and gently rubbed He Anyue's face. "How come you are like this in just one day?" With red eyes, he took He Anyue's hand.
"I'm not dead yet." He Anyue was awakened by his movements. was about to open his eyes and complain to him, but he was held in his arms.
"It's fine if you're okay." Li Xuanwu kissed He Anyue's hair. "I'm so scared that something will happen to you."
"It's fine." He Anyue obediently lay in his arms, "There is a spy in our military camp, do you know?" ā
"Don't worry about it, the general will take care of it." Li Xuanwu nodded He Anyue's forehead.
"No, I mean, most likely, they're not moving right now because their purpose isn't our barracks." He Anyue pulled down Li Xuanwu's hand and looked at him very seriously.
"It's the batch of military rations that are still on the way."
The two spoke in unison.
He Anyue nodded, "When we went to observe their hunting today, I was thinking about why they already knew that we were short of food and grass, and they didn't take the opportunity to attack us. The most likely reason is that they want to take advantage of the fire to loot our military rations, and then besiege us here and slowly clean it up. ā
Li Xuanwu frowned and looked at He Anyue, "Then you rest first, and I'll go to the general to discuss." ā
He Anyue nodded, "My body is fine, if the general asks, he will say that I will report to him tomorrow." ā
Li Xuanwu touched her chin. "Who said you're fine, you've lost weight here."
"After this time, I will definitely send you back to the capital." Li Xuanwu made up his mind and left the tent.
That night, Li Xuanwu didn't even have time to come back to see He Anyue, because the pigeon did not arrive at the barracks, indicating that the troops receiving the grain and grass did not arrive at the next destination on time, just as He Anyue predicted, the military rations had an accident.
Li Xuanwu led a group of troops out of the camp overnight and rushed to the post station. Naturally, there is no need for He Fei to worry, the thief is in the pair of people who receive the grain and grass, and the leader is the thief.
A week later, He Anyue's wounds were completely healed, and she didn't wait for Li Xuanwu to come back.
"Why hasn't he come back yet?" He Anyue was lying on her father's lap, with a bitter face.
"Don't worry, maybe it's just for insurance, I changed the road to go, so it was delayed, two or three days, two or three days at most." He Fei looked at his daughter every day and didn't think about it, just for that stinky boy, and he was very distressed.
"Good daughter, do you know who he is?" He Fei looked at He Anyue, and finally couldn't help but save his daughter who had fallen into the way.
"He's a prince." He Anyue nodded her fingers.
"Yes, so he can't love you alone, he will have a lot of concubines, intercourse girls, and even as long as he wants, he can build a three palaces and six courtyards in his mansion fiefdom." He Fei looked at He Anyue with a surprised face.
"Baby daughter, Daddy doesn't want you to go into that deep palace and become a person who can only live by the pampering of men, intrigue every day, and what if he doesn't love you in the future?" He Fei touched He Anyue's back.
"What can you do?"
He Anyue swallowed and looked at her father, "He said he wouldn't." ā
"He can say these sweet words to any woman, but promises sometimes don't mean much."
"He has a lady who has not passed through the door. The first beauty in the capital, Tang He. He Fei looked at his wavering daughter and continued to pressurize.
"Tang He?" He Anyue thought of the sister who recognized herself as a little girl, was that her?
I actually fell in love with her... Is it fair?
He Anyue shook her head, "He didn't tell me. She looked at her father with red eyes and cried aggrievedly, "He lied to me, he didn't tell me." After He Anyue finished speaking, she ran out.
"Baby..."He Fei couldn't stop shouting at He Anyue, who was out of control, and sighed. Better a finger off than always aching.
