Live up to the breeze and the bright moon

Early in the morning, Liu Xi, who was full of exhaustion, grabbed the servant who came to deliver the morning laundry and asked, "Is General Xu awake?"

"The general was ordered out of the city last night due to an emergency situation."

Was there a military emergency last night?Liu Xi recalled that he did hear a noise after he was stopped back to the house when he was leaving last night. Could it be that there was a military report at that time. "Then... what about His Royal Highness?"

"His Highness also went out with the general last night."

Huh, Liu Xi finally let go of the heart that has been hanging around all night, it's fine if you don't see it, it's fine if you don't see it...

After washing in the morning, Liu Xi, who was eating breakfast, suddenly remembered that Xu Ye was not there, how could he enter the place where the wounded and sick soldiers were placed?Do I want to stay here and wait for Xu Ye to come back?However, in matters such as military affairs, no one could tell how long it would take for Xu Ye to come back. Wouldn't his painstaking efforts to come to Mincheng be in vain?

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, "Is Mr. Liu in the house?"

Liu Xi immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks and replied, "In the process, please wait."

Opening the door, a man dressed in military uniform clasped his hands and fists to Liu Xi, "Young Master Liu, the final general is strict, and under the order of General Xu Ye, please hurry up and heal the wounded soldiers."

……

The place where wounded and wounded soldiers are housed in Mincheng is called Cheng'an Institute. I heard from Yan Ming that there are not many doctors in Mincheng. Now that the front line is fighting, all the doctors who are needed have been transferred to the front line. Recently, Cheng'an Institute There is not a single doctor in the hospital, and the wounded sent from the front line are currently unhealed, so this important task naturally falls on Liu Xi's shoulders.

"General Yan, I heard that General Xu left the city overnight, but the situation at the border is in crisis?" After getting rid of the crisis of meeting Li Yu, Liu Xi's relaxed mood did not last long, and he began to unconsciously worry about the situation on the front line.

"Yes, there was an urgent report last night that Prince Rong Di personally led an army to attack the Gucheng and Minnan Second Pass. The Gucheng Pass is in a hurry. Last night, the Lord General urgently summoned all the generals to discuss countermeasures. The general should have rushed to the battlefield by now."

"...Does the general know if His Highness the Crown Prince has also gone there?"

"Of course, the purpose of your Highness's personal campaign on behalf of His Majesty is to strengthen our army and boost morale. Wouldn't it be meaningless for His Highness to stay in Mincheng at this critical moment? We can fight the enemy bravely with the same hatred!"

"That's right..." Liu Xi muttered in a low voice. According to Li Yu's temperament, even if he could stay in Mincheng, he would ask to go to the front line. "But why did the general stay in Mincheng instead of following General Xu?"

Yan Ming smiled helplessly, "The last general wants to follow General Xu around, but the general ordered me to stay and assist the young master. It is a fate that cannot be violated."

"Ah...so that's the case, this...I'm ashamed, I didn't expect to drag the general down." Liu Xi secretly disgusted himself for asking such a stupid question.

Seeing Liu Xi's apologetic expression, Yan Ming immediately comforted him, "My lord, there is no need to apologize. The healing of the wounded is a major event in the army and war. It is my wish to be able to do things for my brothers. You can heal your lord. If there is anything you need, just ask the general. Cooperate anytime."

Liu Xi cupped his hands, "Thank you, General."

……

Every day, new wounded patients were brought to the Cheng'an Institute. Liu Xi was alone in making diagnosis and treatment day and night, but he was still too busy.Although Yan Ming asked some servants to help him, he still had to do the diagnosis and treatment himself.

For the past ten days, Liu Xi, who could only rest for an hour or two every day, felt that he could not hold on any longer. When feeling his pulse, his hands kept shaking, and it was difficult to feel the pulse accurately. What is the medicine? The feeling of heart palpitations is often accompanied by shortness of breath, and I have to gasp for breath, and my eyes are often dark...

"Brother, it's time to change the medicine." Liu Xi brought the wound medicine he had personally ground to a wounded soldier who was nearly half a century old, and called softly.

"Oh~ it's Mr. Liu," the elder brother opened his eyes and saw Liu Xi, he quickly stood up and lifted the sackcloth covering his injured left leg so that Liu Xi could apply the medicine. .”

"How do you feel?" Liu Xi sat down, untied the entangled cloth belt on his brother's leg, and examined it carefully.

"Thanks to my lord, it doesn't hurt very much." The old brother said gratefully, seeing Liu Xi's eyes wandering, he asked casually, "My lord's complexion is so bad, you must not have had much rest."

"It's okay." Liu Xi replied weakly, and with all his energy, he carefully applied the medicine to the old brother's calf that had been cut off with a sharp knife and exposed the bones.

A few wounded soldiers lying on the bed next to them were chatting,

Bingjia: "I don't know what happened to the siege of the old city?"

Soldier B said to Soldier C: "Didn't you come from the old city two days ago? How was the war when you left?"

Bing C: "I didn't destroy our prestige, I really feel it. I heard that this time the barbarian princes from outside the Great Wall led the army in person, and it was not the usual formation of casually coming and fighting. I was watching on the city wall. In the dark, there are savages with disheveled hair, and their eyes are all glowing red, as if they want to eat people."

Soldier: "Hmph, you're scared to pee your pants by them, aren't you?"

Bing C: "You! I don't have the same knowledge as you when I see that you are injured."

Bingjia: "Rong Di's army is pressing down on the border this time, and a hard fight may be inevitable. But don't we also have His Highness the Crown Prince personally recruiting, I heard that His Highness personally puts on the clothes, brothers, why are you afraid of some barbarian prince?"

Bing C: "That being said, His Royal Highness is only one person, and we still rely on us to fight for our lives in battle. Hey, I said, it's not that I'm afraid of barbarians, haven't you heard? Our army's current strength near Sanguan It’s less than half of Rongdi’s. The reinforcements brought by His Royal Highness are only a small part, not enough at all. The troops ordered by the emperor to be dispatched from neighboring counties have not arrived yet. I think it’s good that they can arrive after the battle.”

Bing B: "Where did you hear it? Why don't we know?"

Bing C: "This is a confidential matter, let you know that the military will not be shaken. You just know it, and don't talk about it outside."

Bing B: "If the disparity in strength is so great and other reinforcements cannot be counted on, there is really no chance of winning."

Bingjia: "In the past dynasties, it is common to win more with less. I hope that the Lord General and His Royal Highness can find a strategy to defeat the enemy."...

Liu Xi finished applying the medicine to the older brother, and re-tied the cloth belt, "Brother, you rest first, and I will change the dressing at this time tomorrow."

"Hey, thank you son, thank you very much." The old man put the sackcloth on his lap again, and nodded his thanks to Liu Xi.

Liu Xi smiled feebly, and as soon as he walked out with the medicine box in hand, he bumped into Yan Ming head-on.

"Young Master! The Last General is looking for you, hurry up and follow the Last Future!" Yan Ming led Liu Xi to the outside of Cheng'an Office without any explanation.

"General Yan, this is... I still have a few medicines to change..."

"Shu Mo was ordered not to say anything, the young master will know when he arrives." Yan Ming's tone was serious, Liu Xi didn't ask any more questions, and followed Yan Ming on his horse and left.
