Chapter Ninety-Eight
The moon and stars are scarce, the light is beginning to appear, and the night sky is clear. After dinner, the camp was brightly lit, and the soldiers recuperated in their tents, and all fell silent except for the occasional shuffling of footsteps from a few patrolmen. At this time, An Ruiqi walked into the barracks silently with Ning Yue in his arms, and the guards saw him with a solemn expression, knowing that he didn't want to make a noise, so he didn't come forward to salute, but bowed to him slightly, An Ruiqi smiled back with gratitude, and walked straight to his camp. After placing Ning Yue on his soft couch, An Ruiqi hurriedly ran out of the camp tent and personally invited Xiaoyan to come and treat Ning Yue. He stood outside the tent anxiously and waited for a long time, and finally walked out of the tent with a smile, the two lines of tears were not dry, and he barely squeezed out a smile, telling him that Ning Yue's injury was not serious, and he would be able to heal after a few days of rest, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked to Ning Yue and sat down, quietly looking at Ning Yue's sleeping face, and was reluctant to look away for a long time. It's just that how can the news of An Ruiqi's return to the camp be hidden from An Ruixiang, the commander of the current pioneer battalion, before An Ruiqi sat down for a while, An Ruixiang rushed in violently, and just wanted to open his mouth to blame, but saw An Ruiqi bowing his head to him with a wry smile, looking begging for mercy, and then seeing Ning Yue on the side falling asleep, large and small medicine bottles scattered all over the ground, he suddenly understood in his heart, and when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it again. Ning Yue was as close to him as the sister next door, and she was the second brother's sweetheart, so seeing her injured, she naturally couldn't bear it. Lest it disturb her recuperation, he glared fiercely at An Ruiqi, and then left silently. An Ruiqi did not move to follow, but continued to guard Ning Yue calmly, until he returned with the boiled decoction with a smile, and then he walked leisurely to An Ruixiang's tent. Knowing that Ning Yue was safe and sound, and now that he was carefully protected by the Shadow Guards within reach, An Ruiqi was in a happy mood, and what happened to him was just a passing cloud, even if he had to bear the bitter fruits of the past, he was willing to do so.
"Major General, this commander has been waiting for a long time!" Seeing An Ruiqi coming indifferently, An Ruixiang scolded in a stern tone, his eyes full of hatred for iron and steel.
"Please calm your anger, because I don't worry that Yue'er is alone in the tent and has no one to take care of her, so I have delayed coming to receive my sin. Ruiqi knows that he will be punished for several crimes, and it is difficult to escape a heavy sentence, please don't have any scruples, as long as he enforces the law impartially and sentences according to the law, I will never complain. After speaking, An Ruiqi knelt on his knees and looked at An Ruixiang with a firm and sincere gaze.
After hearing this, An Ruixiang's eyes burst into raging anger, and he reprimanded loudly: "Do you know that leaving your post without permission should be punished according to the law!" Do you really have the audacity to think that I will not punish you? The sound was as loud as thunder, resounding in the sky, and in an instant, the entire barracks were stunned, and the people in the camp tents poked their heads out to see what was happening. As soon as the words came out, An Ruixiang began to regret it. blamed himself for being too excited for a while, and now he has alarmed others, if this matter leaks out, I'm afraid that the second brother's life will really not be saved...... He restrained his anger, frowned and looked at An Ruiqi, and continued in a low voice: "Fortunately, you came back early, these two Japanese commanders have the right to go out to inspect the enemy's situation, you can't act arbitrarily in the future, I can only cover up for you this time!" ”
An Ruiqi knew that his eldest brother had doted on him since he was a child, but he never expected that he would actually turn his back on the principle of righteousness for himself, which really made him feel guilty and moved. The last general will do his best in the future to serve the commander, if there are two hearts, heaven and earth will not tolerate it! ”
An Ruixiang saw that An Ruiqi rarely flattered himself, although it was just some clichés, it was also very useful to him, he laughed with satisfaction, regained his usual composure, and said earnestly: "Second brother, it is natural for you to be good to Xiaoyue, but it is too much to give up everything for her." Father has always valued you, of course, he doesn't want to see you miss a good future for the sake of his children's private affairs. You have been wise since you were a child, how could you not know that valuing her so much will only make her father, who doesn't like her humble background, even more disdainful of her? In the future, if you want to marry her justifiably, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult......"
"What the eldest brother said is very true, but Ruiqi has identified her in this life, no matter what obstacles there are, she will never give up, even if the person in front of her is her father...... At that time, I hope that my eldest brother will help me say a few kind words, so as to fulfill my sincerity. ”
Facing An Ruiqi's clear and bright gaze, An Ruixiang sighed helplessly and replied: "I am your eldest brother, naturally towards you, but my father's temper is also as stubborn as yours...... It's hard......"
In the middle of the ring, the two sat opposite each other with sad faces, silent. Seeing that it was late at night, An Ruixiang flicked his hand and asked An Ruiqi to go back to rest, while he continued to read the military book in front of the case.
An Ruiqi came out of the camp tent, and suddenly remembered the mortally wounded war dragon, for some reason, his heart throbbed, so he anxiously rushed to visit him. As soon as he entered the camp, he saw that Shen Yidao and several of his brothers were surrounding the couch of the war dragon, and they all looked at the war dragon lying on the couch with a worried face, breathing rapidly. Next to the couch lay a basin of muddy water, which had long been dyed red, and the blood-colored gauze that had been thrown to the ground was enough to cover a bookcase, and the situation was shocking. The gray-haired military doctor who was over half a hundred years old had blood stains on his hands and clothes, and in the face of the dying injuries in front of him, he could only sigh for the war dragon and was helpless.
"How's the boss's injury?" An Ruiqi asked softly.
When everyone heard this, they came back from their sorrow, and the doctor hurriedly stepped forward and replied respectfully: "Back to the words of the young general, the big boss was injured by a sharp blade and many vital points, and now the blood is not stopping, and there is a high fever, the condition is dangerous, and the subordinates have not mastered their skills, I am afraid that they will not be able to return to the sky......"
Hearing the doctor's words, Shen Yidao couldn't hold back the grief in his heart anymore, and roared angrily: "If the big boss has three longs and two shorts, I want everyone in your pioneer camp to be buried together!" His big red eyes stared straight at the doctor, which was terrifying.
The doctor was so frightened that his hands and feet were weak, if An Ruiqi hadn't helped him quickly, he would inevitably fall to the ground.
"Please rest assured, Brother Shen will definitely look for famous doctors everywhere, and he will never let the big boss make any mistakes." An Ruiqi stood up in front of the doctor, met Shen Yidao's threatening gaze, and said calmly. The determination in his tone convinced Shen Yidao, so he stopped pestering and turned around to continue to take care of the war dragon.
