The three generals are still alive, which is the greatest comfort.

The soldiers in the city buried their dead brothers deep in the mountains, making it seem like an empty city. If there were still Xinrong people who were dying, they would kill them one more time, which could be considered as revenge for a brother.

One morning, Ning Rongzhang stood at the front, looking at the graves emerging one by one in the deep mountains, and poured three cups of wine. All the soldiers who were still alive after him burst into tears.

Among these people are soldiers who followed him to the Western Frontier and soldiers who have been stationed in Linan all year round. But no matter where they came from or who they are, at present, they are heroic spirits who protect the Dali Dynasty and should be worshipped by the people of Dali after their death.

Li Huaize and Ji Yuanzheng were still in a coma. Although everyone felt uneasy, since Doctor Baili said that everything was fine, they would just wait and save them when they woke up.

Linan City was empty, and there was not much food left. The people sent by Wei Zheng were still on the way, so they simply organized their troops and set off.

The soldier pushed a carriage with a broken shaft, and several people gathered around and asked, "Ma Liu, can this be repaired?"

The soldier named Ma Liu glared at him, unhappy, and said, "I was a carpenter before I followed the prince into the army! What do you think, should I repair it?"

A few people laughed and helped each other to build a few more carriages so that they could push the wounded who had difficulty moving.

Ma Liu had good skills and fixed it in about two or three quarters of an hour. After tying up the horses, it became a carriage that could run again.

Several people were busy carrying the two generals who were still unconscious onto the carriage, while the rest of the people were taking dry food and driving horses. After a rest, the team set off towards the rising sun, carrying the pain after the battle.

Ji Mengshu was in Ji Yuanzheng's carriage, watching over him all the time. In the battle of Linan, his brother was seriously injured again, but from now on, Dali should be able to have peace for a long time.

"Cough, cough! Cough!"

"Brother!"

Suddenly, they heard rapid coughing and wheezing sounds coming from inside the carriage. Hongye, who was sitting in the front, heard the sounds through the carriage wall and said, "Miss, is the young master awake? I'll go call the doctor over."

Baili Yan was dozing off when she heard Hongye calling her anxiously through the window pane. She ignored the fact that she had not slept well last night and forced herself to go to the carriage at the back.

Lifting the curtain, the man in the car looked much calmer. He took my pulse and said, "Nothing's wrong... Just drink some water."

Hongye then handed the water bag over. The warm liquid flowed along Ji Yuanzheng's lips and tongue into his mouth, and he swallowed it instinctively.

Ji Mengshu's eyes were red, and she said, "Miss Baili, I wonder when my brother will wake up?"

The carriage was shaking slightly and was not moving very fast. Baili Yan covered the man with a blanket and said, "The general was seriously injured and shot in the chest. If you hadn't rescued him in time, he might not have survived. As for when he would wake up... it depends on his luck."

Ji Mengshu swallowed back her tears, thinking that fate was playing tricks on her. The previous life caused the current life, and what Lan said was true.

"But no matter what, thank you Miss Baili for your help."

"If Dali can really welcome a wise ruler, then the people I saved will not be in vain."

The sunlight outside the window pane was sometimes hidden and sometimes bright, but the surroundings were always silent. I didn't know how many days I walked before I met the imperial guards sent by Wei Zheng on the way.

"Your Highness!" A sudden loud voice woke up the drowsy Ji Mengshu. She lifted the curtain and looked out the window through the window pane. Hongye also leaned over with a relieved smile on her face, "Miss, the people sent from Shangjing have arrived. We are saved!"

Following the imperial guards was Li Huaixiang. She rode over, swinging the reins, and hurriedly dismounted, "Second brother, is there anything wrong?"

Hongye said nothing, pointing to the carriage road ahead, "General Li was seriously injured and is still in a coma."

Li Huaixiang felt a little more at ease after knowing that the person was still alive and had a miracle doctor by his side. There had been frequent wars in recent years and countless people had died on the battlefield. Those who were able to get out alive were considered lucky.

After being escorted by the imperial guards, they had better food, but due to the wounded, the team still did not move fast.

After several days, when the medicinal materials were almost used up, they finally reached the imperial city of Shangjing. After the battle of Linan, they could be considered to have escaped death.

It was already late at night, and the imperial city should have been locked. But who could stop the soldiers outside the city? Wei Zheng had not slept for the first half of the night, and now he was standing outside the city gate facing the wind. He saw the guards on both sides holding torches coming from afar, and he was almost overjoyed.

"Oh! You are finally back!" Wei Zheng saw that the person leading the way was Ning Rongzhang, so he rushed up to him and hugged him without waiting for Ning Rongzhang to get off his horse and stand firmly.

"Hiss——" A gasp with muffled pain sounded in Ning Rongzhang's ears. He covered his chest and took two steps back. Wei Zheng then came to his senses and quickly let him go.

"Ah...Ah Zhang, are you okay?" In the light of the fire and the night, the man in front of him looked a little pale. Wei Zheng almost cried out to the sky. He quickly pulled the carriage and the imperial physician from behind, "Quick! Help the regent to enter the palace!"

Late at night, the carriage wheels drove along the road into the palace, which was brightly lit.

Several imperial doctors carefully placed the injured on the couch and treated them carefully. Baili Yan pounded her arm, thinking that she had nothing to do here. She was the only doctor on the journey, which was really exhausting.

Wei Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and watched the imperial physicians reviewing the patients one by one. He thought that he would not be able to sleep well today.

"How is General Ji?"

The imperial physician bowed and said, "General Ji's two arrows in the chest were the most serious, but fortunately they were treated properly. Now he only needs to change the dressings every day and rest."

Without waiting for Wei Zheng to ask again, the imperial physician continued, "As for General Li, his leg injury is serious. In my opinion, this right leg..." He was cautious in his words, but Wei Zheng understood a little.

Ning Rongzhang walked out of the room, and the imperial physician greeted him hurriedly, "Your Majesty..."

"How's his leg?"

The imperial physician looked sad and said, "General Li's leg...I'm afraid it will be crippled."

-

The palace servants were busy tonight, and almost all the staff of the Imperial Medical Bureau were mobilized to treat the wounded. Ning Rongzhang sat quietly by the lake, with the hem of his clothes swaying slightly.

The human voices were far away from him at this moment, and the noise was outside him.

There was a faint sound of footsteps behind his ears. With his usual instinct, he glanced over with hawk-like eyes. Ji Mengshu paused and stood behind him.

"What are you thinking about?"

"A general dies in a hundred battles, and a warrior returns after ten years. Ah Shu, I can still hear the sound of horses' hooves breaking through the city gate."

Ji Mengshu didn’t know what they had experienced during those days, but the blood flowing like a river in Linan City must have been a nightmare for everyone.
