Riding the Pheonix Chapter 446: The Defeated Soldier


Ming Wei has been feeling uneasy lately, so she made a fortune telling.

Ning Xiu glanced at it twice: "This hexagram is very dangerous."

Mingwei frowned and put away the copper coins.

"Are you doing this for your junior brother?"

Mingwei nodded.

Ning Xiu also frowned.

Yang Shu is on the front line. No one can say anything about the war. What if something happens...

Just as I was thinking this, I heard rapid footsteps coming from outside.

Ning Xiu called to the soldier: "What happened?"

The soldier replied: "A group of our troops was attacked by barbarians. Now they are retreating. There are many wounded. We have to respond quickly."

Ning Xiu immediately looked back at Mingwei.

Mingwei tightened her lips and then said: "Go and have a look."

It was already dark, and the two of them walked out of the city gate, and there was already a lot of noise outside. The soldiers stationed on the gravel **** quickly ran forward and lifted the wounded off their horses one by one.

There was also a logistics officer who loudly commanded: "Quickly, the wounded go this way, and the horses are led over there. The seriously injured are in front, and the light ones are behind."

Military doctors followed closely and conducted preliminary examinations of the wounded.

"This one is dead, carry it away."

"This is a minor injury, take him to the shed."

"This injury is too serious and needs to be treated immediately..."

Mingwei picked up a soldier and asked, "Which branch is this? Who is the general?"

The soldier was a little confused: "I don't know, I just know that Liangchuan retreated."

Mingwei and Ning Xiu looked at each other and felt a thump in their hearts.

The last letter Yang Shu sent back was about his trip to Liangchuan.

After half a year of fighting, he has been able to lead an army on his own. Since he was sent there, there would be no more teams.

Mingwei turned around and ran out, grabbing each of the wounded to look at their faces to see if there were any Yang family generals she was familiar with.

It was hard for her to recognize her face, it was dark, her breath had changed after half a year, and she was even more panicked.

Ning Xiu caught up and shouted: "Don't worry, the seriously injured are all in front. If you don't see them, it means they are fine..."

Mingwei also knows that although the predictions she made previously are dangerous, there is still hope. But those who didn't see him couldn't control their panic.

"Axuan!" Ning Xiu suddenly shouted.

Mingwei turned his head to look, and sure enough he saw Ah Xuan, who had taken off his helmet, standing there talking to someone.

Hearing Ning Xiu's voice, Ah Xuan and the person who spoke turned their heads together.

Mingwei's breathing stopped suddenly.

The man's armor was covered in blood and stains, and he had a tattered cloth tied to his arm. He also took off his helmet, but for some reason, most of his bun was loose. He looked unkempt and very embarrassed.

Because of this, Ning Xiu didn't recognize him just now.

He looked over here, with a big smile on his blood-stained face, which made the cinnabar mole on his forehead even more obvious.

Then, he ran towards this side.

Mingwei felt a gust of wind blow by and he was hugged.

The strength was too great, and the armor made her feel uncomfortable, but her heart calmed down.

The smell of blood was so frightening that it almost choked her.

But she didn't push away.

It has been half a year, and they have never been separated for so long.

After a while, Yang Shu finally let go and said, "I wanted to give you a surprise, but why did you come out?"

Before Mingwei could say anything, he suddenly screamed strangely and covered his head: "I haven't washed myself yet! Quick, quick, quick, turn around and go back! I'll find you later!"

She saw such an ugly look, his image as a young man!

Ming Wei smiled slightly and was pushed away by him obediently, saying, "Then I'll go back and wait for you."

"Yeah, yeah, let's go."

Seeing Ming Wei leave, Ning Xiu wanted to leave too, but was stopped by Yang Shu: "Brother, come and help! I don't have enough manpower."

Ning Xiu looked at him indifferently.

"What are you doing standing still? Lao Fang is in trouble this time. His leg is broken and I don't know if he can put it back together." Yang Shu rambled, "Don't you have some secret pills? Give it to him quickly. One pill, hang on to your life first. Oops, look what I’m going to do? Time is running out, and human life is at stake!"

Ning Xiu twitched his lips and followed Ah Xuan expressionlessly.

Forget it, he looked away anyway, it was just differential treatment.

……

The gravel **** was busy for half the night.

It wasn't until dawn that Mingwei saw Yang Shu who had taken a bath and changed clothes.

After half a year of not seeing him, he has changed a bit. The facial features are more angular and the skin is roughened. Fortunately, it wasn't easy to tan. When I changed back to regular clothes, I felt more heroic and not rude.

“I’m back, it’s a blessing in disguise this time!”

Mingwei grabbed his arm first: "Are you injured here?"

Yang Shu groaned and let her untie his clothes: "It's okay, it's not a serious injury. It has been sewn up."

As expected, Mingwei saw that the inside was bandaged, but there was a lot of blood seeping out, and the wound was quite large at first glance.

"Are there any other injuries?"

"No, no. I'm very lucky. I have very few injuries. Except for this, everything else has been cured long ago."

Mingwei touched it again to make sure he wasn't talking nonsense, then stopped.

"What's going on? You were attacked?"

As he was talking, a voice came from outside, but it was the cook bringing some noodles.

Yang Shu drooled looking at the bowl of noodles ~IndoMTL.com~ rubbed his hands and said: "Wait a minute, I haven't eaten anything all day, wait until I finish eating."

"Okay."

Mingwei sat at the table and watched him eat noodles.

This bowl of noodles is not delicious at all. It is just ordinary boiled noodles with a few green vegetables, no eggs, and no broth.

However, he ate it with great enthusiasm, as if it was some rare delicacy.

Mingwei couldn't help but think of the first time she met Young Master Yang.

At that time, he was enjoying fine wines and delicacies. It would be nice to give him a look at such expensive dishes. How could he have imagined that one day he would hold a bowl of boiled noodles and eat so happily.

After a large bowl of noodles went into his stomach, Yang Shu let out a sigh of satisfaction.

“After eating military rations for half a year, I even forgot the taste of noodles.”

Ming Wei felt sad after hearing this and stepped forward to hug him.

She was standing and he was sitting, just holding him in her arms.

Yang Shu was very happy and whispered: "I can give you a hug, it's worth all the hard work."

Mingwei had already let go and asked him: "What's going on?"

"Oh..."

Yang Shu touched his nose and told his experience. He was indeed in Liangchuan, and he was indeed attacked. It was Nasu who attacked him. The two sides fought hard all night. Seeing the arrival of reinforcements from the other side, he had to retreat with his men.

Liangchuan was not far from the gravel slope, and there were too many wounded, so he simply came back.

"That's it."

Mingwei asked him again: "How is the war going? Can we make a breakthrough before winter?"

When mentioning this issue, Yang Shu frowned again: "I really don't know about this. The Holy One is unwilling to send us more troops and horses, so it's not that easy to deal with! If we add another hundred thousand, I think we are safe, but it's a pity..."
