Chapter 164: Bet
As soon as Zhong Mingyue entered the house, she smelled a strong smell of medicine.
Although I am used to caring for the wounded these days, I still shrugged my nose.
Shi Yanyuan heard what the military doctor said, he was half-sitting on the bed, and he was gently hammering the wall with the back of his head in annoyance, and he didn't know that it hurt.
"Don't you want your head when you hurt your feet like that?"
Shi Yanyuan had injuries all over his body, and the injuries on his feet were fixed by the military doctor, but his face and hands were oozing blood.
She took the medicine box on the side and began to look for the ointment, and when she found it, she immediately sat down on the side of Shi Yanyuan's bed, gently pulled his hand to her knee, and gently applied the medicine while blowing a cool breeze on the wound.
It seems that he is afraid that he will hurt him with too much strength.
Shi Yanyuan's original irritable mood was slightly relieved, but he still looked at the front helplessly and said, "Now like this, is it really the will of heaven?" ”
Zhong Mingyue didn't raise her head, and even glanced at him.
"It's clear that you're distracted and don't pay attention, what are you doing to blame the sky? How innocent it is. ”
God didn't distract you.
Shi Yanyuan's melancholy that had just risen was suddenly slapped back to the present world.
He licked his lips and sighed, "But now, when will I be able to return to Kyoto City?" You have also seen what Uncle Huang is like these days, if it drags on any longer, I'm afraid..."
As he spoke, Zhong Mingyue had already bandaged the wound on his hand for him, and then looked at the abrasion on his cheek, changed a bottle of ointment and continued to apply the medicine.
I don't know if it's because the ointment is too irritating or because Shi Yanyuan's skin is too thin, and he gasped as soon as the ointment touched his cheek.
Squeamishly shouted to Zhong Mingyue: "It hurts." ”
"Does this hurt? And go to the battlefield. ”
Shi Yanyuan pursed his mouth: "Isn't it like I can't get on?" ”
Zhong Mingyue hooked her lips: "It's just right." ”
"What did you say?"
At this moment, many thoughts crossed Shi Yanyuan's mind.
even thinks that Zhong Mingyue is looking forward to him dying in battle, so that he can go to find other little white faces?
But I've accompanied him to the prison and suffered so much, so I shouldn't have done this kind of thing, right?
Shi Yanyuan's face was a little pale, and he showed an expression of disbelief when he looked at Zhong Mingyue.
Zhong Mingyue couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw this, and explained, "I mean, you can rest if you're injured." ”
In order to speed up the progress these days, Shi Yanyuan has hardly rested well, fighting with people on the battlefield every day, and it takes two or three days to come back every time, and the armor on his body is stained with blood.
To be honest, Zhong Mingyue felt a little sorry for him, but at the same time, she was faintly envious in her heart.
She is a martial artist, and it would be nice if she could also go into battle to help him.
But from the very beginning, this person felt that she was a woman, and that she should stay in the rear to take care of the wounded, and although she felt that it was unfair, she did not object.
Because she also knows that there are too many injured people now, it is good that she can make him worry-free.
But now that he is injured and can no longer go to the battlefield, Zhong Mingyue has a glimmer of hope in his heart.
She applied the last bit of ointment to his wound, and when she turned to pack the medicine box, she hesitated: "Yan Yuan, I... I want to say one thing to you. ”
Shi Yanyuan was still thinking about how to explain to Uncle Huang, but when he heard Zhong Mingyue's serious voice, he couldn't help but become serious.
"You say."
Zhong Mingyue packed up the medicine box, but she didn't dare to look back at him immediately, but turned her back to Shi Yanyuan, took a deep breath, plucked up her courage and said, "I think... Go to battle on your behalf. ”
Shi Yanyuan's mind suddenly 'buzzed', and everything became blank.
In his ears, he could only hear Zhong Mingyue saying that he was going to go to the battlefield for him.
There was hardly the slightest hesitation: "No." ”
Zhong Mingyue turned her head to look at him at this time, she didn't expect this to be the case, so she wasn't excited, but just asked him: "If I don't go, who else do you think?" ”
Now there are no more generals in Changyongguan.
What's more, he is still the crown prince, and he is the backbone of the entire Changyong Pass, and now that the backbone is injured and falls, the morale will inevitably be greatly weakened.
How could such an army win the battle against the Southern Turks?
But Shi Yanyuan still gritted his teeth and said: "I said no, no, no." ”
"Then you tell me why."
Shi Yanyuan turned his head and was silent for a long time without answering her.
Zhong Mingyue stubbornly raised her head: "Do you think that I am a woman so I can't go to the battlefield?" You think from the bottom of your heart I can't fight like you men, do you? ”
Shi Yanyuan raised his eyes, as if he wanted to explain, but in the end, he turned into a sentence: "You also know that you are a woman, and that is not the place you should go." ”
"Where should the woman go? Should it be in the back house? Zhong Mingyue's eyes suddenly turned red, but she didn't want to be seen by Shi Yanyuan, so she immediately turned around and wiped away her tears.
She turned her head sideways to look at Shi Yanyuan with her peripheral vision.
"I'll make a bet with you."
Shi Yanyuan frowned, looking at her at a loss.
Listen to her: "If I lead the soldiers to win the Southern Turks, you promise me one thing." ”
After a pause, he calmly turned to look at Shi Yanyuan, with rare warmth in his eyes.
"When it's over, will you let me go?"
Shi Yanyuan's throat seemed to be filled with cement, he looked at Zhong Mingyue blankly, his eyes seemed to be mosquitoes, and he couldn't help but want to shed tears.
He tried desperately to control this emotion, but the more he restrained it, the more huge the feeling became.
Obviously Zhong Mingyue was smiling, standing in front of him, but Shi Yanyuan felt that she was so far away from him, and she was planning to leave him.
He opened his mouth, and it took a long time before he choked up, "You... You are the wife I am marrying, where do you want to go except by my side? ”
"You can go anywhere."
Zhong Mingyue seemed to think of something happy, and grinned lightly: "You can go to the desert, you can go to the snowy mountains, you can go to the grassland, why can't you go to the big world?" ”
She restrained her smile again: "I don't want to be trapped in that side of the world for the rest of my life, I don't want to be people and things in the deep palace day after day, I have too many things I want to see, I have too many curiosities to answer, I have to go and see, right?" Otherwise I will regret it for the rest of my life. ”
"But you and I are husband and wife!"
Shi Yanyuan suddenly endured the pain and stood up, he trembled and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted Zhong Mingyue to hold him.
But Zhong Mingyue looked at his hand and was stunned for a long time.
Finally, he shook his head: "Yan Yuan, have you forgotten?" Our marriage contract was given by your father, I never thought about who I wanted to marry and be anyone's wife, I just wanted to be Zhong Mingyue. In the end, Zhong Mingyue's eyes were also red.
She looked at Shi Yanyuan with tears in her eyes and smiled: "Let's make a bet, if I lose, I will admit that I don't have the ability to see the freedom in my heart, but if I win, you let me go, okay?" ”
