Chapter 308: Parting again, Zhao defeats Hu!

It was not until dawn that the guards and soldiers finished cleaning up the battlefield. Nearly two hundred Wei soldiers were killed in the battle, and almost all of the remaining eight hundred were wounded, more than a hundred of them seriously injured. Such casualties were already quite heavy for them, after all, they were all cavalry. The only thing worth being happy about was that thousands of Western Hu people were all dead, and the war horses they left behind were also a considerable fortune.

"We have wiped out all the Western Hu people who broke into the counties. No one should break in again in the short term. You should have a good rest. I will wait for you in Dafeng County."

After cleaning up the battlefield, it was time for them to return to Dafeng County. The lightly wounded soldiers were fine as they could ride their own horses, but the seriously wounded were more troublesome. After discussion, Wei Chengyi left 300 cavalrymen and the guards to escort Shen Xiangwan and the wounded, while he himself went ahead with the remaining cavalrymen and captured war horses.

"Ah."

Nodding, ignoring the soldiers' gazes, Shen Xiangwan leaned forward, stood on tiptoe and pecked him lightly on the lips. Now was not the time to be sentimental. After this damn war was over, they could be as affectionate as they wanted.

“Remember to rest!”

Wei Chengyi felt warm in his heart, but he also reminded her worriedly that she had not rested all night, and neither had he.

"You too, meditate and recover when you have time."

"Ah."

After taking one last deep look at her, Wei Chengyi jumped on his horse and said, "Let's go!"

"Yes!"

At his command, thousands of cavalrymen waved their whips in a well-trained manner. Shen Xiangwan stood on the official road and watched them go. Even though she could no longer see them, she did not return to the carriage. Yuan Yue, who was following her, sighed helplessly and stepped forward and whispered, "Madam, we are not far from Dafeng County. We will arrive at noon at the latest."

Then you and the Second Master will be able to see each other again. Yuan Yue did not say the latter part of the sentence. She did not have anyone she liked, and she could not understand the relationship between the Madam and the Second Master at all. She did not understand why they were so sad when they were just separated for a while. Besides, when the Madam and the Second Master were busy in the past, didn’t they often not see each other for a whole day?
Turning his head to look at her, Shen Xiangwan said unhappily, "Don't be so imaginative. I'm not that clingy."

You don't need to guess what's going on in her mind. Does she look like the kind of person who would die if she doesn't see him for a while? The reason she didn't move just now was that she felt that the Wei family army was too difficult and she was thinking too much.

"Well, ma'am, how about we go back to the carriage?"

Knowing that he had misunderstood, Yuanyue couldn't help feeling embarrassed and could only make the suggestion with a dry laugh.

"Ah."

Looking at the empty official road again, Shen Xiangwan sighed deeply and turned to walk towards the carriage.

Because of the seriously injured soldiers, their carriages increased to nearly twenty, and the speed was undoubtedly slower. Shen Xiangwan was still in a carriage with Mu Yunran, but the difference was that they had one more passenger, the soldier with a broken arm. It was not that they did not want to move him out, but mainly because there were not enough carriages. The medical boys even had to squeeze into one carriage with ten people.

“Hmm…suck…”

A groan escaped from the unconscious soldier's mouth and he subconsciously moved his broken arm, which made him gasp in pain. His tightly closed eyes suddenly widened and beads of sweat instantly covered his forehead.

"Don't move. Your hand will take a few days to recover."

Shen Xiangwan, who was sitting cross-legged on the mat and practicing the Taixuan Heart Sutra, slowly opened his eyes. This is the good thing about being a martial artist. After a short recovery, the fatigue from not sleeping all night was almost completely gone. Compared to that morning, he felt much more energetic.

"Well...my hand..."

After she said that, the soldier finally remembered his hand. He lowered his eyes and saw that it was actually well connected to his body. He tried to move his fingers and they moved freely. His eyes suddenly widened like bells: "Husband, Madam, I...I...my hand...is it...really connected?"

He never dreamed that his wife would actually help him reconnect his arm. Excitement was not enough to describe his mood at the moment. If possible, he even wanted to get up and cheer. He was not a useless person. He could still go into battle and kill more Western Hu people!

"Well, the operation was successful. He will be fine in ten days or half a month."

Seeing this, Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but curl her lips. What a simple man, he still wanted to kill the enemy even in this situation? However, no matter which era it is, it is because of passionate soldiers like him that the people can live and work in peace. They are worthy of respect, and it is worth it for her to secretly bring him into the space and try her best to save his hand.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you ma'am!"

The soldier was so excited that he was about to stand up and kowtow to her, but Shen Xiangwan stopped him quickly: "No need to thank me, you are my husband's soldier, which means you are also my soldier. I should save you. If you must thank me, then when you are ready, help me kill a few more enemies."

She used the word "enemy" here instead of the Xihu people. It seems that there is no difference, but in fact it is a double entendre. Their enemies are not just the Xihu people!
"Yes, Madam, rest assured, I will kill all those damned Xihu people!"

Speaking of the Western Hu people, the soldier no longer stuttered, his eyes filled with hatred and murderous intent. Until now, the tragic scenes of the villages massacred by the Western Hu people would still automatically emerge in his mind. God knows how angry he was when he saw with his own eyes a toddler being thrown to death. Those Western Hu people are simply not human beings, they are fucking beasts!

"Um...what are you talking about?"

Mu Yunran, who was resting on the cushion, rubbed her eyes sleepily, her voice somewhat hoarse. Shen Xiangwan took out a water bag filled with spiritual well water from the space and handed it to her while the soldier was not paying attention: "Nothing, just chatting."

"Oh."

Nodding, Mu Yunran took the water bag, tilted his head back and took two big gulps.

"Madam, who is this lady?"

The soldier then noticed her presence and looked a little embarrassed.

"Her name is Mu Yunran, she is Yan Junling's wife and also a military doctor." Seeing that he blushed innocently, Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but laugh: "By the way, what's your name?"

"what?"

The soldier was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Reporting to the Madam, my name is Zhao Pohu, the Pohu who defeated the Hu people."

"Zhao Pohu? What a good name."

Raising her eyebrows, Shen Xiangwan admired sincerely. She was really afraid of those names like Erdan, Goudan, and Tiedan. She couldn't even find anything to complain about them, right?

"My father named it. He read a few books when he was young and said that he hoped that one day the imperial court would be able to defeat the barbarians and make Chenzhou as peaceful and prosperous as other prefectures."

Unfortunately, his father died of illness. After he had finally raised money to bury him, he saw that the Wei army was recruiting soldiers. Thinking of his father's frequent words about hoping the imperial court would defeat the Hu people, he joined the army without hesitation. After all, he was the only one in the family, and no one would be sad even if he died in battle.

"Yes, I promise that no matter whether it is Chenzhou or other border states, there will be a day when the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe!"

The wishes of the people are really simple. As long as there is no war and they can have enough food and clothing, that's enough. Unfortunately, the Tianqi Dynasty cannot do it, and the dog emperor is even more unwilling to do it!

After witnessing the battle between their cavalry and the Western Hu people, where they were outnumbered, she felt heavy in her heart, just like when she saw the disaster victims in Binzhou and other places. She wanted to do something for them, but for now, there was very little she could do. A determined light flashed across her watery eyes. They must take control of the entire Chenzhou as soon as possible.

"Ok!"

Although he felt it was unlikely, Zhao Pohu nodded anyway. The Second Master and his wife were both good people, and they were capable and willing to be kind to soldiers and civilians like them. Regardless of whether it was possible or not, he was willing to believe that they would really lead them to defeat the Hu people and let the people live a good life.

"Zhao Pohu, how is your hand? Can you move your fingers?"

After drinking the water, Mu Yunran finally felt like she was alive again. While asking the questions, she had already squatted down and held Zhao Pohu's hand. If she hadn't been too busy last night, she would have definitely watched how Wanwan reconnected her broken arm.

“Yes, yes…”

Suddenly being stared at by her, and still holding his hand, even though he knew that she was a military doctor and was simply concerned about his injuries, Zhao Pohu couldn't help but blushing.

"Really? Can you move for me?"

Not noticing anything strange about him, Mu Yunran stroked his arm again, still holding his hand with her other hand.

Shen Xiangwan, who was watching from the side, held his forehead in silence. If Yan Junling saw this, he would probably be jealous.

"it is good···"

Zhao Pohu nodded subconsciously and moved his fingers.

"It really moved, Wanwan, his fingers really moved."

Seeing this, Mu Yunran couldn't help but exclaimed, it was amazing, after the broken arm was reconnected, the arm could actually move freely. If she had the chance in the future, she would definitely ask her in detail how she did it.

"You'll be able to do it in the future."

Shaking his head with a smile, Shen Xiangwan was talking nonsense in a serious manner. It was impossible for a broken arm to regain consciousness immediately or even move the fingers. Moreover, even if it healed in the future, the broken arm would no longer be able to exert force and could only do some simple work at most. On cloudy and rainy days, the sutured area would still hurt slightly.

"When you have nothing to do some other day, tell me in detail how you reattached the broken arm."

Nodding, Mu Yunran tightened her hand with Zhao Pohu's. When she looked up, she saw that his face was flushed. She subconsciously reached out and touched his forehead: "Do you have a fever? Is it caused by the wound?"

"Hahaha···"

Seeing this, Shen Xiangwan couldn't hold back any longer, holding her belly and laughing. How come she didn't realize Yun Ran was such a talent before? You are a woman, and a very beautiful woman at that. You hold the hand of a man who is obviously not married, and touch his arm. It would be strange if you didn't blush. Fever? What on earth was she thinking?
"What are you laughing at?"

Mu Yunren frowned unhappily but still didn't react.

"Um, Madam Yan, can you let me go first?"

Looking at them back and forth, Zhao Pohu asked embarrassedly with a red face.

"Huh? Sorry, I didn't mean to do that."

"Hahaha···"

Mu Yunran looked down at her hand belatedly, her pupils shrank, and she realized what she had done. She quickly pulled her hand back, and her beautiful face suddenly became redder than Zhao Pohu. Shen Xiangwan, who had been trying to hold back her laughter, laughed even more exaggeratedly. The guards outside the carriage looked at each other, none of them understood what she was laughing at.
