Chapter 434 Why am I sick?

Author: Leng Qingshan

The originally quiet night became chaotic again.

Shang Ruyi immediately made Yu Wenye lie down on the bed, and asked Wuxue to get a cold water towel. She originally wanted to ask her to call a doctor immediately, but Yu Wenye, whose breath was getting hotter, reached out and stopped her.

He half-closed his eyes, which were a little red due to the heat, and said solemnly: "It's already this time, please stop making trouble."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi suddenly became angry - what's the fuss?

It's obvious that he has a fever, so what's wrong with calling for a doctor? Even if he usually doesn't care about his own body and carries all the minor ailments, but now he's in Fufeng, and there's Xue Xian watching him outside.

General, how can you care so little about your body?

Just when Shang Ruyi was about to argue with him, Yu Wenye frowned and said in a deep voice: "I am a general. It would be bad to spread the news at this time."

"..."

Shang Ruyi was startled, but he finally came to his senses.

Yes, he is a general.

Moreover, he was the general who had just won a great victory, repelling tens of thousands of Xue Xian's troops and restoring confidence to the soldiers and people of Fufeng. Now he is the spiritual support and hope of everyone here!

If news of his illness spread at this time, not to mention that if people outside the city knew, it would immediately give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of it. If only people in the city knew, these people would inevitably feel panicked again and become discouraged.

lose confidence.

But——his illness cannot be ignored.

Shang Ruyi thought for a while, then turned to Wuxue and said: "Go to Dai Junliang and tell him to ask a doctor to come -"

Hearing this, Yu Wenye frowned. Although the low-grade fever made him more dizzy and his body felt a little soft, he still wanted to stand up to stop her. But before the words came out, he heard Shang Ruyi say: "Follow her."

They said, I'm sick."

"..."

"Remember to tell them that I caught a cold while playing drums on the tower. When the doctor comes, he will keep me company for a few more days. The doctor cannot leave the official office until I recover."

Wuxue immediately said: "This slave understands."

After saying that, he turned around and ran out.

Shang Ruyi then turned back to look at Yu Wenye, who was raising his upper body on the bed and looking increasingly pale: "So, are you relieved?"

"..."

Only then did Yu Wenye let out a long breath.

Fell back on the bed.

After just this tossing, he seemed to be a little softer, and the breath he exhaled was hot. Even if he was still a little far away from him, Shang Ruyi felt a little hot where the wind blew on his cheek.

But in this moment, he seemed to be much more serious than before.

So, she immediately took the towel Woxue sent and soaked it in cold water, twisting it to moisten it, and then began to wipe Yu Wenye's cheeks, red neck, and hot palms, and said softly: "You also know that you are

A general has a great responsibility, so he should not despise his own body. If you fall ill, who can the people of this city rely on?"

"..."

Yu Wenye said nothing.

The towel soaked in cold water wiped the hot skin, and the stinging feeling made the already weak man even more intolerable. He could only grit his teeth and endure it, and remained silent for a long time before whispering: "I just feel weird."

Shang Ruyi looked up at him: "What's strange?"

"Strange, why am I sick?"

"..."

"Why would I fall ill at this time?"

Shang Ruyi was angry and funny. He took the towel and soaked it in water. After twisting it, he wiped his palms and said: "Who can avoid getting sick if you eat grains? Besides, you haven't been well these days."

I have had some rest; today, not only did I have such a big battle with Xue Xian, but I also rode my horse into the river, and my whole body was soaked."

"..."

"How can you not catch a cold?"

Although she said so, Yu Wenye's brows furrowed even tighter and he said solemnly: "But, I shouldn't be sick either."

"..."

"In the past, I have encountered times when I was more tired, colder and hotter than now. I have never been sick."

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but glare at him.

This man's body is indeed strong, but what's even tougher is his mouth.

The more Yu Wenye spoke, the more unwilling he seemed to feel. The body that had been lying on the bed began to move again. Shang Ruyi was so anxious that he could only throw away the towel, sit on the edge of the bed and reach out to hold his shoulders, and then bent

He lowered his waist, put his forehead against his, and pressed him down.

"...!"

Yu Wenye took a breath.

However, the hot breath emanating from his body still made Shang Ruyi's heart burn when he was so close. Her face could not help but turn slightly red. She looked down at the man whose eyes were red due to a low-grade fever, with a rare glimpse of his face.

Her eyes, which were extremely fragile, began to flicker.

For a moment, the two people who were so close to each other felt some unspeakable emotions.

However, no one moved again.

It's as if I'm afraid that if I touch something at this moment, it will be irreversible.

After a long silence, Shang Ruyi pressed her forehead against his, and their eyes looked closely at each other. She said softly: "Just take good care of your health, okay?"

"..."

"The people of this city depend on you...and so do I."

"..."

"I'm more worried than anyone else about you not getting well."

Yu Wenye's originally weak breath suddenly became thicker.

Even his breath was a bit hotter than before, blowing over Shang Ruyi's cheek and almost turning her face red.

He slowly raised his hand.

He seemed to be trying to wrap his arms around the slender waist of this little woman, but after a moment of silence, he reached out to her shoulders and gently pushed her away.

"...?"

Shang Ruyi was stunned and looked at him with wide eyes.

Yu Wenye's face seemed to be a little red, but he turned his face to one side and his eyes flickered: "Don't let this happen to you."

"..."

Seeing him like this again, Shang Ruyi felt that his face was getting hotter.

She silently sat back on the bed, picked up a towel and soaked it in water, and continued to wipe the sweat on his body. Yu Wenye stopped fussing and just let her take care of him quietly.

The night gradually passed.

The next morning, the morning light dewed slightly, and the Xiaolin River, which had flowed quietly all night, finally washed away the blood redness of the previous day and returned to its original appearance of clear water. The breeze blew across the river, and the sparkling waves continued to shine under the sun.

of shining.

But the next moment, these calm waves were broken.

A horse and a horse galloped from a quiet distance, and soon they rushed to the bottom of the city tower. The man on horseback took out the token at the top of the city tower. The city gate immediately opened wide, and a group of people and horses came out to greet them.

The leader was none other than Mu Xian.

And the soldiers who came back from outside the city were the soldiers he had stationed along the upper reaches of the Xiaolin River to monitor every move on the other side. As soon as he saw Mu Xian, the man immediately got off his horse, raised his hands to Mu Xian and said, "Brother."

"Why are you back?"

Mu Xian frowned, feeling something vaguely: "Could it be -"

The man panted and said: "Xue Xian has led tens of thousands of troops and is preparing to cross the river."

"What?!"

A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Mu Xian's face, and his brows suddenly condensed into a knot - Xue Xian is going to cross the river again and come to attack Fufeng?

However, they just lost for a while yesterday. Although it was not a complete defeat, their morale would at least be low for a while. In addition, there were certain battle losses. Under normal circumstances, they would have to rest for at least a while before continuing to fight.

.

Why, I just finished playing last night and I have to come again early this morning?

The man was obviously galloping back all the way. At this time, he was out of breath and said intermittently: "I left a few brothers on the shore to continue to monitor their actions, but they have too few people to destroy them.

There is a pontoon bridge to cross the river, and the Xiaolin River is not wide, so it is not difficult to build a pontoon bridge. They should be coming over soon."

"..."

"Brother, what we are going to do now is-"

"The general made it very clear yesterday. The most important thing to do against Xue Xian this time is to hold on, consume their food and grass, and wear down their will..."

Mu Xian muttered and repeated this sentence, and then immediately said: "Hurry up and inform your people, tell them not to act rashly, and stay away. Remember not to conflict with Xue Xian's men head-on."

"yes!"

The man only took a breath, then immediately got on his horse again, turned the horse's head and left the city.

Mu Xian had already turned his head and ordered: "Close the city gate immediately, and I will inform the general now!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers guarding the city responded hurriedly. Some of them had already walked to the tall city gate and immediately closed the heavy and tall city gate.

But just when Mu Xian turned around and was about to go to the official office, a group of people stopped in front of him.

Walking at the forefront was none other than Song Yu, the general manager of the march this time.

I saw this man wearing armor and carrying a long knife at his waist. He walked out of the city majestically. He stopped Mu Xian and said coldly: "What's going on?"

Mu Xian remembered the dispute with him last night. Although his face was not good-looking, after all, he was only the deputy general beside Yu Wenye. He could only salute the marching general manager, and then said: "Sir Song, we have just reported military information.

, my subordinates need to go back and report to the general immediately."

"oh?"

Song Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's the military situation? Let me hear it."

Although Mu Xian was a little impatient, he couldn't turn around and leave at this time. He could only hold back a breath and said in a deep voice: "The spies from the front reported that Xue Xian led tens of thousands of troops to build a pontoon bridge and prepare to cross the river. The target should be Fufeng again.

"

When Song Yu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

When the lieutenants around him heard this, they all looked impatient and said, "You've come at the right time!"

"Master Song, we can't let them escape this time."

"Yesterday's battle was abandoned halfway, which is simply a shame for our army. Mr. Song can't let Xue Xian think that Fufeng is just a city made of clay!"

Listening to these people talking nonsense and not knowing what to say, although Mr. Mu didn't want to pay attention to them at all, he couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Yesterday in the meeting hall, the general made it very clear. Yesterday's battle

It’s just to restore the confidence of Fufeng’s army and people, but Xue Xian’s 300,000 troops are so powerful that it’s not appropriate to have a head-on conflict. Our best way is to hold on to the city and consume their strength—”

Before he finished speaking, Song Yu interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

Song Yu glanced at him with a sneer from the corner of his eye, and said coldly: "Sure enough, a useless general can only lead useless soldiers."

Mu Xian's brows suddenly tightened: "What did you say!?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several other lieutenants around Song Yu rushed forward and surrounded him. They all looked ferocious and said fiercely: "What did you say again?"

"How dare you talk to Mr. Song like this?!"

"Master Song is the general manager of the march, what kind of thing are you!"

…

Mu Xian's two hands hanging by his side were already tightly clenched into fists, and the veins on the backs of his hands were bulging out, and he was almost about to swing out uncontrollably, but then he looked ahead and folded his arms, looking at himself with a sneer.

Song Yu, he gritted his teeth and finally endured it.

After all, he is just a lieutenant general.

But this marching general is an official of the imperial court. If he conflicts with his people, it will be a violation of military orders in the army. Not only will he be punished, but Yu Wenye, his commander, will also be implicated.

He let out a deep breath, and then said: "Everyone, please stop accompanying me. I want to report this matter to the general immediately!"

After saying that, he had to walk past several people.

But as soon as he lifted his feet, he heard Song Yu say coldly: "Open the city gate and immediately send 30,000 troops and horses to follow me on the expedition!"

"...!?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Xian stopped hurriedly and turned to look at him: "Master Song, this - this is absolutely impossible!"

Song Yu said coldly: "No? I am the marching general appointed by the imperial court. Like your general, I have the authority and responsibility to send troops. Why, just allow your general to fight blindly at the gate of the city yesterday.

, and finally gave up halfway, but I was not allowed to send troops to kill the enemy?"

"..."

"Are you soldiers of the imperial court or spies from Longxi?"

I didn't expect him to be able to confuse right and wrong so much. Mu Xian's hand tightened again, but he still had patience and gritted his teeth and said: "Master Song, Chief Manager, of course you have the authority to lead troops on an expedition, but you can't.

The general had already made arrangements yesterday, and he wanted us to——"

"Shut up!"

Song Yu suddenly showed a ferocious look and said fiercely: "I don't want to listen to your nonsense now, let alone what Yu Wenye arranged. Since ancient times, battles have been won by winning, not by dragging them out. He has no ability.

, then let him stay in the official office, stay in his wife's arms and be his coward, I want to go out into battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious service to the court!"

After saying that, he waved his hand: "Bang the drum and accept the challenge!"

His lieutenants had already been ready to make a move. When they heard his order, they immediately got on their horses and led the soldiers and horses in the city to begin to assemble in formation. After receiving his order, they began to beat the drums on the tower.

Immediately, rumbling drums sounded from the city tower, and the tall city gate was completely pushed open after a long and hoarse neighing sound.

Song Yu got on his horse, his eyes red with excitement, and raised his hand to the soldiers gathered behind him.
