"To conceal this matter, send half of your troops to reinforce them. All personnel in the city are to be prepared. We will begin our attack ten days later."
"In addition, tell her that we will not bring useless women to the battlefield. She must be fifty miles away from the frontlines, and I will pass the news to her. Also, ask if there are any candidates who have seen the Military Strategy Team fighting, and bring them over immediately for that woman to choose from."
"Yes." The soldiers left in a hurry. The surrounding officers were all slightly dissatisfied with what Lai Xuan had done. "That woman is just an outsider. How can she be so trusting?"
"Then you can find a trustworthy and capable advisor." The next city was two hundred miles away from here, and it was even richer than this place. There was a lot of water and food, and as long as they could take it down, they would be able to break out of this urgent situation.
It was a pity that the city was impregnable. This morning, Ai Yan had already ordered his troops to protect the city.
Within five days, all the things they had to do were piled up in a mountain.
In the dead of night, Gu Daiyan and the ghost were assigned to a shabby house. As long as they could see through the broken roof, they would be able to see the stars in the sky.
Although the ghost was injured, it still slept on the ground, only having a thin layer of bedding.
Gu Danyan was lying on the bed in the innermost room, curled up in the blanket she had brought along with her. She could not sit still because of the shouting coming from the infirmary, so she changed her clothes and got up, only to see the ghost in the darkness open his eyes: "You are very sensitive to the smell of blood right now."
"I hope my child can sympathize with his mother as a doctor." Gu Danyan squatted down with some difficulty and placed a few bottles of medicine beside the ghost, "Go to bed. I will come back to sleep during the day. If no one changes the medicine on your back, then wait for me to come back."
"Alright." The ghost nodded and moved to make way for her to help the doctor.
When Gu Liuyan hurried into the clinic, she was stopped by a few doctors. The kid who had consulted her before shouted: "Miss is very powerful, why didn't you let her come in and help?"
The adults were all ashamed of trying to reason with the child. They rubbed his head and said, "This is not only a young lady, but also a prince or an adult. His status is honorable."
Due to her identity, these doctors never dared to let His Highness, who was pregnant, take the risk.
"My identity is not honorable at all. I'm just a doctor right now." The smell of blood was not that bad anymore. Gu Pingyan rolled up his sleeves and pushed the man in front of him away, then glanced at the soldier who had been shot in the leg and shoulder. He placed one of his hands on the soldier's head: "Relax your body, feel pain and discomfort.
She quickly finished her sentence and waited for the soldier to confirm before she made her move.
At the beginning, the doctors were very careful and tried to help, but in the end, they were unable to do anything about it.
The two teenage kids were basically by Gu Daiyan's side, helping her get the herbs, fetching water, and helping people clean up their wounds. The most important thing was to wipe the sweat off Gu Daiyan's forehead and remind her to relax a bit.
Having been busy all the way until the sky turned white, when Lai Xuan came to check, she saw Gu Liuyan sitting in the corner, helping people to remove the infected part. She cut off the piece of meat with the knife that was only as long as her palm and spoke with conviction, "You will live well."
She was used to comforting her patients, more so than showing a frown.
"General Lai Xuan, she insisted on coming to help." The guard at the entrance hurriedly said, "We'll be careful …"
"Do as she says, but don't give up three meals a day." Lai Xuan left without even looking back. She faced the phantoms as she walked towards him. After staring at them for a long time, she opened her mouth and said, "You're right, this kind of woman is truly something that many men would worry about."
"Thanks to a man's desire to protect." Phantom: "But those who fall in love with this kind of woman are monsters. It seems like you aren't."
Lai Xuan raised her eyebrows and left with her men.
As the ghost walked further in, he thought to himself that perhaps even Lai Xuan himself had not realized how much he envied Gu Danyan's talent and abilities, especially her attractive personality.
Entering the hospital, Gu Daiyan had already finished bandaging someone's wounds. When she saw the ghost coming over, she only turned around to look outside and said, "It's dawn."
"Come back and get me some medicine and something to eat." Ghosts couldn't even touch his injured back.
"Okay, wait a moment." Gu Liuyan's expression did not change as she opened her mouth to speak. With an indifferent expression, she washed her hands before leaving with the ghost. She held the ghost and asked: "Did the carrier pigeon arrive last night?"
"One came an hour ago." The ghost took out a small bamboo tube from his bosom and handed it over to her. "That team of one thousand will arrive at the city in two days. Not only that, the prince has also given his order."
"How do you know what orders Duan Chengxuan gave?" Gu Danyan looked at him in disbelief. Since when did ghosts and gods become so powerful?
However, when he unfolded the letter in his hand, what entered his eyes was Duan Chengxuan's calligraphy — — this carrier pigeon was sent by Duan Chengxuan.
"It's my turn to punish you."
With just a short sentence, Gu Pingyan did not have the time to open up another piece of paper. He only raised his hand and caressed his cold cheek: "I am giving birth to his child, but why do I feel that he will really fix me with these words?"
Phantom also looked at her deathly pale side face, and suddenly laughed. "I already said, only Your Highness can eat you alive."
In the depths of the forest, Duan Chengxuan leaned on a tree trunk, and the military doctor that accompanied him helped bandage his wounds.
Cheng Shan was in a very sorry state as he commanded the men to set up camp here. The smell of blood in the forest lingered in the air for a long time, and soldiers had already carried the dead wild boars over, preparing to spend the night there.
"The men sent by Duan Guolao are quite skilled." Duan Chengxuan looked at the fine cloth covering his wound and asked Cheng Shan, "How's the situation in Sky Flame City?"
"The empress's actions have been exposed, including her slandering the empress, taking control of the imperial government, and even the fact that she had military power and was prepared to go straight to Sky Flame City. But now, even if there is evidence, she can't drag the ninth prince down with her." Cheng Shan half-knelt on the side as he handed over the dried food and water.
"Where's Yan'Er?" Duan Chengxuan took a sip of water, and the ruthlessness in his eyes became even stronger.
"The first battle was a great victory, and even the demons sent a message back. Your Highness, she …" Although the child inside is very precious, but still busy, and become very sensitive to your past... Very much so. " The two successive pauses allowed Duan Chengxuan to understand the meaning behind it.
Originally, there were some things that were difficult to make up for.
"In that case, I won't be too close to her." The ruthlessness in Duan Chengxuan's eyes was finally covered up by guilt. "But if I see her risking her life, don't even think about it!"
