Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Later, Sui Gang and the remaining soldiers returned to the camp and stayed in the tent where Lu Hao's body was placed for a long time before leaving.

After dark, Dong Jiafu brought food in.

Lu Siheng was kneeling in front of the coffin, burning paper money, and he didn't even look up when she came in.

Dong Jiafu put down her things and bowed to Marquis Zhongjing, whom she had never met before but was not a stranger to her.

Then she brought the food to Lu Siheng and said, "Eat something. You haven't eaten for a whole day."

Lu Siheng turned around and pulled the corner of his mouth, "I have no appetite. I've made you work in vain."

Dong Jiafu looked at his smile, which was uglier than crying, and sighed, "Don't try to be strong if you feel sad."

Lu Siheng looked at the coffin and asked, "Why can't he just trust me? He has the confidence to escape from Ao Ye unscathed. Why does he have to solve the problem in this way?"

"I think he doesn't want you to take risks. That's what people who love us do. They always protect us from harm in the way they think is right."

Lu Siheng retracted his gaze, added some paper money to the brazier, and after a moment of silence, asked, "How is Miss Du?"

"I had just visited her when I came here. She took medicine and went to sleep. She has a good physical condition. Her wound should be almost healed after a few days of rest." Dong Jiafu observed his expression, "You seem to care about her a lot."

"She was shot by an arrow because of me."

Dong Jiafu was very surprised when she heard this, and then she said, "It seems that Miss Du is just harsh in words, but she is a good person. That arrow was still very dangerous. If it was off by an inch, even Hua Tuo could not save her. You should go see her when you have time."

"I would rather be shot myself than have a woman block an arrow for me on the battlefield." Lu Siheng changed his words and said, "After all, she was injured for me. I will go and thank her in person."

"Go ahead and do your work. I want to be alone for a while."

Dong Jiafu stood up and said, "I'll leave the food here for you, eat a little."

There are still many wounded soldiers outside, and Dong Jiafu has to treat them.

Lu Siheng stayed in the tent all night. After dawn, after repeated persuasion from Sui Gang and others, he finally agreed to go back and rest.

On his way back, Lu Siheng looked at Du Manting's tent and changed direction.

He stood outside the tent and said, "Miss Du, is it convenient for me to come in?"

Du Manting's voice soon came from inside, "Come in."

Lu Siheng entered and saw her leaning on the bed with an empty bowl of medicine beside her.

He walked over and stood not far away, "Are you feeling better?"

"Much better, thanks to you for pulling out the arrow for me in time."

Although she didn't feel anything at the time, when she thought that he was the one who pulled out the arrow, Du Manting suddenly felt a burning sensation on the wound.

"Why did you block the arrow for me?"

"Don't get me wrong. I just can't bear to see so many people in Beidi playing dirty tricks on you, and Ao Ye, that despicable villain." Du Manting spoke quickly, "I didn't save you on purpose. If it was someone else in that situation, I would do the same. After all, we are all brothers on the same front."

Lu Siheng looked calm, "No matter what, you were injured because of me. If there is anything I can help you with in the future, just let me know. You should take good care of your injuries. I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."

Du Manting turned her head to look at his departing figure and blocked the arrow for him. She actually wanted to prove to him that she didn't need anyone's protection on the battlefield and could even protect others.

If it were any other time, she would have said to him with great pride: See, it's not certain who needs protection.

But his father had just passed away, and he looked very tired, so she couldn't say those words.

Dong Jiafu slept for a few hours and got up early in the morning to continue working.

After being busy for half a day, Sui Gang came over and said, "Miss Dong, someone outside the camp is looking for you. He said it's your elder brother."

"Brother?" Dong Jiafu was stunned. Could it be that her elder brother came to see her?

She quickly put down the work in her hands and ran out full of anticipation.

Cui Qiyan saw her on the other side, thought something had happened, and immediately followed her.

Dong Jiafu saw a person standing outside the camp from afar, and the familiar figure made her eyes warm.

"Brother!" She rushed over, tears of joy filling her eyes, "It's really you!"

Dong Jiabai looked at her with a smile, "Afu, I'm relieved to see that you are okay."

"How did you find this place, brother?"

"I received Jialin's letter and learned about my mother's illness. I also knew that you came to Xizhou to look for medicine. I was worried and wanted to help you find medicine. I went into the city in the morning and looked for a few inns. I met Maofeng and learned from him that you were here."

At this time, Cui Qiyan also came over, "Master Xiao Dong, long time no see."

Dong Jiabai only knew from the letter that besides Mao Feng, her senior brother also came with Dong Jiafu, but he didn't expect that Cui Qi Yan was also there.

"Lord Cui, long time no see. Before I came here, I heard that the Northern Di had raided Xizhou City. Yesterday, they came again, and our Great Yin soldiers won a beautiful victory. Could it be that Lord Cui was the one who led the troops?"

Dong Jiabai just thought that he was sent by the emperor for this matter.

"Master Xiao Dong has misunderstood. The one who was ordered to lead the troops to fight the enemy was Master Lu, the deputy commander of the Internal Affairs Department," Cui Qiyan glanced at Dong Jiafu and said truthfully, "I came with Afu to look for medicine."

After hearing his words, Dong Jiabai pointed at the two of them in disbelief, "You, you guys..."

Dong Jiafu glared at Cui Qiyan, then pulled Dong Jiabai and said, "Brother, you've worked hard along the way. Come in and have a drink of water."

Dong Jiabai pointed to the two carriages behind him and said, "When I came here, I knew there was a war in Xizhou City, so I prepared some medicinal herbs and food, which should be useful to the army."

Sui Gang, who was standing nearby, immediately stepped forward upon hearing this and followed Cui Qiyan's greeting, "Master Xiaodong is truly a timely help. This is what the army needs most right now."

"Who is this?" Dong Jiabai asked.

"Brother, this is General Sui, the deputy commander of the Xizhou Army." Dong Jiafu introduced.

"General Sui, you are too kind. We prepared in a hurry. The few things I brought are just a drop in the bucket for the army."

Sui Gang shook his head, "Alas, Master Xiao Dong, please don't say that. I am very grateful to you for thinking about our Xizhou Army when you came to see Miss Dong."

"General Sui is too polite."

Cui Qiyan spoke at the right time: "General Sui, I'll leave the things that Lord Xiaodong brought to you. I'll take him in first."

"Yes, yes, yes, Master Xiaodong, please."

Dong Jiabai left two followers and followed Dong Jiafu and Cui Qiyan into the military camp.

After learning about the story of Marquis Zhongjing, Dong Jiabai went to pay his respects to him first, and then met Tan Hao.

Tan Hao was also very surprised to see Dong Jiabai, "There is chaos outside, and Master Dong actually came here."

Dong Jiabai bowed and said, "Thank you for taking care of Afu along the way. You also took care of my mother's illness."

"No, no, I didn't do anything."

After the greetings, Dong Jiafu took Dong Jiabai to a tent where no one was there to talk.
