Chapter 430 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 41
When Zhou Shengchen and his group arrived, they did not see the Northern Barbarian soldiers.

All I saw was the gate of Yongcheng after the war, with corpses scattered all over the ground and a pungent smell of burning fire.

The place is devastated and full of holes.

For some reason, Zhou Shengchen felt filled with fear in his heart, and he even didn't dare to enter the city in front of him.

At this moment, someone called "Master" not far away, and the voice sounded very familiar.

When Zhou Shengchen looked over, he saw Xie Yun, who had scars on his face but was smiling excitedly.

Including Ling Xi, who was following behind Xie Yun and looked gray with scars of war on his face.

Zhou Shengchen's dark eyes moved slightly, and his heart, which had been hanging on the cliff, finally returned to the shore safely.

He jumped off the horse and walked towards Xie Yun.

Xie Yun thought that his master wanted to talk to him, and was about to greet him excitedly, but unexpectedly his master walked straight past him and went to Ling Xi who was behind him.

Xie Yun was stunned for a moment, and then he saw his master come forward and hug Ling Xi.

As if he understood something, a mischievous smile flashed in Xie Yun's eyes. He walked to Feng Qiao's side and gave that side to his master and Ling Xi.

It was not until Zhou Shengchen held Ling Xi in his arms and felt Ling Xi's soft and warm body that the fear and uneasiness he had been feeling along the way finally subsided.

No one knew that although he had been calm along the way, he had already thought about the worst possible situation thousands of times in his mind.

He couldn't imagine whether he would go crazy if something really happened to Ling Xi.

Fortunately, she is fine.

When Ling Xi was held in Zhou Shengchen's arms, she was able to deal with it calmly.

However, feeling Zhou Shengchen's rapid heartbeat in his chest, Ling Xi's heart couldn't help but move.

At this moment, she was a little attached to this embrace and was reluctant to let go.

So, she gave in to her impulse and leaned into Zhou Shengchen's arms without pushing him away.

On the smoke-filled battlefield after the war, in front of everyone in Nanchen Palace, the hug between Zhou Shengchen and Ling Xi seemed to be the closest their hearts had ever been in the nine years since they had known each other.

In the end, it was Ling Xi who pushed Zhou Shengchen away first, but she pushed with too much force and accidentally touched the wound on her hand, causing her to hiss softly.

Zhou Shengchen then let her go and asked nervously, "What's wrong? Where are you hurt?"

Ling Xi shook her head: "It's okay."

Zhou Shengchen saw the bandaged area on her hand before she did, so he pulled up her hand and asked, "Is your hand seriously injured?"

Ling Xi pursed her lips and smiled: "It's okay, just a minor injury."

Xie Yun immediately started to tear Ling Xi apart from behind, shouting, "Master, she's seriously injured, her hand is almost broken."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shengchen wanted to take off the handkerchief that was used to bandage her, but was stopped by Ling Xi.

Ling Xi looked at him and said, "Let's solve the problem in Yongcheng first. We have captured the group of northern barbarians. How to deal with them depends on your opinion and the opinion of the Yongcheng garrison commander."

"Xiao Yu, Tian Xing." Zhou Shengchen turned around and immediately called their names.

Hong Xiaoyu and Zhou Tianxing immediately clasped their fists and said, "Master, I'm here."

Zhou Shengchen: "Immediately clean up the battlefield in Yongcheng, find out how many casualties there were in this battle, and calm the people in the city. Also, prepare the defense of Yongcheng to prevent the northern barbarians from invading again."

Hong Xiaoyu and Zhou Tianxing: "Yes, Master." Wang Jun and his party entered Yongcheng. Because the governor of Yongcheng died in the city, they temporarily stayed in the governor's mansion.

While entering the city, Xie Yun kept talking to others about how powerful Ling Xi was.

It was said that she was very good at archery and could kill one northern barbarian soldier with one arrow, and her arrows never missed their targets.

Hong Xiaoyu and the others listened to Xie Yun with a smile. After the great battle, the presence of such a group of family members finally made Xie Yun relax after being nervous for a long time.

Feng Qiao still quarrels with Xie Yun. The two have always been like this, a pair of bickering lovers.

After hearing what Xie Yun said, Zhou Shengchen naturally understood where Ling Xi's hand injury came from.

Continuously drawing the bow and shooting arrows would naturally cause injuries to someone as weak as Ling Xi.

After entering the governor's mansion, Hong Xiaoyu and Zhou Tianxing started to do what Zhou Shengchen had instructed them to do.

Ling Xi was dragged away by Zhou Shengchen, and she didn't even have the chance to refuse.

Behind them, Xie Chong, Xie Yun and Feng Qiao were all looking at them with smiles.

In the room, Zhou Shengchen asked someone to bring the medicine box.

Ling Xi was forced by him to sit obediently beside the small couch, waiting for Zhou Shengchen's action.

Ling Xi's hand had been roughly bandaged by Xie Yun, but after all, a battle had just ended at that time, and Xie Yun was not a careful person, so the bandage was naturally not very good.

But Ling Xi didn't think too much about it at the time and just found a handkerchief to wrap it up.

At this moment, Zhou Shengchen took off the handkerchief covering the wound, revealing the wound that was originally covered with skin and flesh. It had turned red and looked more serious.

The moment he saw the wound, Zhou Shengchen's eyes sank.

For a moment, his chest felt stuffy and painful, and he felt both distressed and angry.

The words he said naturally carried a tone of reprimand: "Why are you so careless? What if this wound hurts somewhere and leaves sequelae in the future?"

Although he said that, Zhou Shengchen's actions were extremely gentle.

He wet the handkerchief with water, wrung it dry, and gently wiped her wound, not daring to use any strength for fear of hurting Ling Xi.

Ling Xi's hand was held by Zhou Shengchen. His hand was very warm, which made Ling Xi a little greedy.

She stared at Zhou Shengchen's smooth profile and spoke softly:

"You know my archery accuracy. At that time, Third Senior Brother was in a critical condition, so I had to use all my strength to shoot. Now I am only slightly injured, but I saved so many royal soldiers and shot the leader of the Northern Barbarians to death. Shouldn't you praise me?"

Zhou Shengchen looked up at her and saw that she was so badly injured but still so heartless that he laughed in anger:
"Do you still think you're doing well?"

Ling Xi smiled and replied, "Yes, Senior Brother Xie Yun said that I am the greatest contributor to this battle. Your Majesty, you must reward me well."

After wiping the wound, Zhou Shengchen took another bottle of medicine and gently sprinkled the powder on Ling Xi's wound.

After sprinkling the powder on the wound, Ling Xi felt that the medicine was somewhat stinging to the wound and could not help but frowning.

Noticing Ling Xi's expression, Zhou Shengchen slowed down his movements.

"Do you feel the pain now?"

After Zhou Shengchen bandaged Ling Xi's wound, Ling Xi stared at her perfectly bandaged hand and said to Zhou Shengchen in admiration: "Your Highness, your bandaging technique is very good. It's the technique of a very qualified doctor."

Zhou Shengchen's eyebrows softened: "Thank you for the compliment, Doctor Ling Xi."
