Chapter 033
While Qiao Wan outside the house was still thinking, Qiao Rui inside the house began to deliberately perfunctory and slowly transferred the conversation to other places.
Qiao Wan did not dare to stay for a long time due to her guilty conscience, and her doubts about acupuncture were replaced by the news she had just overheard.
After returning home and lying on the couch, Qiao Wan looked at the dark night with watery eyes, carefully recalling the discussion her parents had just had.
It turns out that the eldest sister almost married Sun Ce...
Long Xiang, who seemed to be "stupid", actually thought of so many things that he seemed to be unable to compare with...
Will Sun Ce really rebel?
Who will the eldest sister marry in the future?
Who will be my husband?
...
Countless questions lingered in her ears, keeping thirteen-year-old Qiao Wan awake all night. She didn't close her eyes until the morning light fell outside the window.
Although Qiao Rui was drunk last night, she acted like a normal person the next day and took Qiao Rui out after breakfast.
Arriving at the camp outside the city, Qiao Rui found that there were many people sitting outside Long Xiang's tent.
When I got closer, I realized that they were soldiers brought back by Long Xiang. These people sat cross-legged on the ground without saying a word.
"Father, this is..." Qiao Min looked curious.
Qiao Rui didn't know what he meant, so he frowned and told Li Tun: "Go over and ask. You'er will come into the tent with me."
"only."
Li Tun nodded and clasped his fists, while Qiao Yi followed Qiao Rui.
After entering the tent, Qiao Min looked around and saw Long Xiang lying on the couch in the corner, his injured back covered with linen.
"General, Young Master..."
Tang Wei took care of Long Xiang all night. He had been taking a nap by the couch when he noticed a noise and woke up.
Qiao Rui pointed at the sleeping Long Xiang and asked, "How is he?"
Tang Wei clasped his fists and replied: "Sima was hot and cold last night. Later he came to the doctor and gave him some decoction. He fell asleep soon after dawn..."
"It's easy to get cold and fever after serious injuries. The doctors in the camp are very experienced. I have prepared some effective wound medicine at home. I will give Yunqi some more rubs."
After Qiao Rui said this, he turned around and signaled, and Qiao Rui untied the wooden box he was carrying.
"I would like to thank the general on behalf of Sima..." Tang Hui held the wooden box with both hands.
After hearing this, Qiao Rui shook his head repeatedly, "Don't call me Army Sima again in the future. The Lord is gracious and will not impose any additional punishment, but Yun Qi will be demoted from Army Sima back to Quhou."
"The general will save it."
Tang Wei lowered his head and clasped his fists in salute, thinking that Yun Qi's guess was indeed accurate, and he got through with twenty blows of military sticks.
When Qiao Rui saw Tang Yu bowing his head, he thought that the other party was in a low mood, so he comforted him with words: "Yun Qi descended back to Quhou, and there are only a hundred soldiers left under his command. The current size of Qubu can no longer accommodate two Quhou. I will give him some words of comfort."
How about you change places?"
"No need, we are all guilty of this battle. Since Yun Qi has been demoted to Quhou, the last general should naturally be demoted together and become an officer. The other officers will be demoted to the leader of the team, and the leader of the team will be demoted to the leader of the fire..."
"Forget it..." Qiao Rui nodded and sighed.
Tang Wei pretended to be sad and said to himself: "It's a pity that Feng Zhong..."
"The dead cannot be resurrected. You have to be more open-minded. In addition, the families of the fallen soldiers should not receive compensation, but I will slowly find a way and let them wait patiently for a while." Qiao Rui patted Tang Yi on the shoulder.
Tang Wei shook his head gently: "General has done too much for us, so don't take on the responsibility of caring for us anymore. Yun Qi has already told us that our surviving comrades will be responsible for taking care of the families of our fallen brothers..."
"this..."
Qiao Rui was surprised after hearing this. He lamented that although Long Xiang's ability to command troops was poor, he was quite capable of winning people's hearts.
Thinking of the soldiers sitting quietly outside the tent, Qiao Rui couldn't help but ask: "Who are those people outside..."
"Yunqi took the initiative to take responsibility and receive the punishment. The soldiers felt sorry for him, so they spontaneously sat outside and waited."
After Tang Wei answered, he added: "Are there many people?"
Qiao Rui said calmly: "About a hundred people."
"That means they are all here. General, please don't be offended. They will disperse when Yun Qi wakes up and gives the order." Tang Wei smiled slightly.
Qiao Rui stroked his beard and nodded, thinking that at least in terms of prestige, Long Xiang was a bit like Long Yuan, or even better.
"Go and uncover the linen, and I'll see how it's hurt."
"only."
Tang Rui cupped his fists and turned around to lift the linen cloth, while Qiao Rui followed Qiao Rui and stepped forward to take a look.
Through the gap between Qiao Rui and Tang Hui's body, Qiao Liu saw the devastated back.
Yesterday I heard my mother and eldest sister talk about it, but I had no idea in my mind. Now that I saw it with my own eyes, Qiao Miao almost vomited her breakfast.
Qiao Zhi saw that there was no good spot on Long Xiang's back. He wiped clean the blood-stained skin like cracked earth. The flesh in many damaged areas was rotten. The blood clots and the fragments of clothes were bonded to form scabs. Some of them could still be seen faintly.
Thread.
"It's a heavy blow. I have to lie down for a while when the clouds rise..." Qiao Rui sighed while stroking his beard.
Tang Wei nodded in agreement: "I have been straining my muscles and bones for a hundred days, and I shouldn't be able to do anything this year..."
"Aren't you just following someone's wishes?" Qiao Rui smiled slightly.
"Ahem...water...water..."
Long Xiang woke up by chance, and Tang Wei's body was immediately agitated, and he hurriedly went to get water.
After a while, Tang Hui returned to the couch with a water bowl.
Qiao Rui glanced at his son beside him and ordered: "You have been busy all night, let Miao'er do this for you..."
"How can we let the young master..." Tang Hui didn't know what to do.
Under his father's sharp eyes, Qiao Yu held the water bowl in Tang Yu's hand with both hands and said sincerely: "Yun Qi and I have had a master-servant relationship for two years, so now it's time to give him a bowl of water."
Tang Wei did not dare to disobey, and cooperated to move Long Xiang forward, letting his head hang in the air to the side of the couch to drink water.
Qiao Wan squatted down with the water bowl, brought it to Long Xiang's mouth with one hand, and whispered: "Long Yunqi, the water is here, drink it quickly."
Long Xiang's body hurt when he moved, and he could only lie down and drink water like a beast. But after taking two sips, he suddenly stopped and closed his eyes in great pain. Beads of water instantly formed on his forehead, and then beads of sweat dripped onto the arms of the bridge walker.
"Aren't you drinking water? Why is it still dripping?"
Qiao Miao lowered his head and looked up, only to find that Long Xiang's forehead was covered with sweat.
Long Xiang saw Qiao Miao squeeze out a smile and replied with difficulty: "Master, you touched my wound, hiss..."
"Huh?" Qiao Ren was startled and backed away.
Tang Wei hurriedly supported it from behind, took the bowl and said: "It's better to be in the end."
Qiao Rui on the side stroked his beard and laughed: "Yun Qi is really a good man. If someone else had suffered such a serious injury, he would have been suffering from the ouch for a long time. Miao'er should set an example by this."
"Huh? Can't you scream out in pain?" Qiao Nian looked confused.
Qiao Rui said seriously: "Of course you can, you can scream as miserable as you want, but you won't get respect in the army. Do you know why the soldiers outside are sitting in silence?"
"Why?"
"It's because of Yun Qi's personal charm, his unshakable character, his fearlessness of life and death, and his courage to take on responsibilities. Which of his subordinates wouldn't want to follow him?"
"oh..."
Long Xiang, who was on the couch, heard the conversation between the Qiao family and his son, and said to himself, General, you can praise me any more. I have been insisting on it. If I hadn't used the spiritual diversion method, I would have been screaming for days.
Star Master has a tutorial in Linglingqi. After Long Xiang was injured, he followed the same example and forced himself to recall the Sakura Country action movie. It turned out to be somewhat effective.
Long Xiang changed the topic: "Uncle Wei, our people are sitting outside meditating? Why don't you rush back to sleep? If you can't sleep, you go to train. They really have no time, heh..."
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Long Xiang's voice, Tang Wei immediately became nervous again.
"I was too excited when I spoke just now, and the wound may have been injured..." Long Xiang closed his eyes and frowned.
Tang Wei helped Long Xiang back to his original position and warned with a heartbroken look: "Then don't say anything..."
"It's okay if I don't say anything. Get the people outside quickly. It's unbecoming to sit outside the tent..."
