Si Hongjing’s face suddenly relaxed a lot.
If he could come, there would be medicine.
With medicine, the soldiers in the camp would have a chance to survive.
When he arrived, Yuan Ying was on a phone call with her best friend, Li Yuxin.
“Isn’t that 200,000-lumen flashlight I gave you able to light up the whole village! I watched the live broadcast, and even the opposite mountain could be seen clearly when the light was turned on at night!”
More than that.
Once the light was on, she practically became a god.
Yuan Ying muttered to herself, but said aloud:
“Of course, as soon as the light is turned on, the village chickens start crowing.”
Si Hongjing stood outside the door, recalling the bright, daylight-like light from yesterday, and was amused by her statement.
He knocked on the door twice.
Yuan Ying immediately found an excuse to hang up the phone and open the door.
She carefully observed Si Hongjing, who had taken off his armor and was wearing black clothes. His black hair was tied up high, his expression was calm but gentle. Without the air of battle, he looked somewhat like a young general.
“My place is quite remote, and the pharmacy doesn’t have much stock. I only managed to buy five boxes in total.”
“We are very grateful to you, Miss.”
“Just call me Yuan Ying.”
Si Hongjing called out Yuan Ying’s name, but his eyes still didn’t fall on her. Instead, he took out a full pouch of gold ingots from his pocket.
Yuan Ying roughly counted, there were at least twenty. She thought for a moment and said:
“I will help you buy as much medicine as possible.”
“Thank you, I will bring more money next time.”
“Bring some jewelry or something.” So many gold ingots were useless to her.
“Alright.”
Because many soldiers in the camp had infected wounds, and some had high fevers and were unconscious, Si Hongjing didn’t exchange many pleasantries with Yuan Ying. He opened the door and carried the boxes of medicine into his bedroom.
The physician, Sun, was summoned to the general’s mansion. Seeing the several large boxes of medicine, his worried expression was immediately replaced by a smile.
“First, give these medicines to the seriously injured soldiers to stabilize their conditions.”
The doctor was so excited that his voice trembled, and his eyes were filled with tears:
“This medicine is truly miraculous! None of the dozen or so soldiers who took the medicine yesterday developed a fever! Their wounds didn’t worsen either! If we could have a large supply of it, fewer children would die of illness in the military camp in the future…”
“I will find a way to get more medicine.”
“Good, good, good! With the General’s words, this old man can rest assured!”
The physician was frail, but at this moment, he carried two large boxes of medicine away with lightning speed. Even the servants of the general’s mansion who were also carrying boxes couldn’t keep up with him.
Si Hongjing watched his back, feeling somewhat emotional.
Inside the camp.
The soldiers didn’t expect the general to be able to obtain so much miraculous medicine so quickly, and they were all extremely excited.
Especially some of the seriously injured soldiers.
Their improved mood coupled with the right medicine made the treatment even more effective.
“When we recover, we’ll beat those Jurchen dogs until they run with their tails between their legs!”
“With the help of the gods, we will definitely be victorious!”
“With the gifts from the immortals, we will definitely be able to defend Dongping Pass! May Heaven bless Daqian!”
“With the help of the immortals, we will definitely be able to hold on until the supplies arrive!”
The morale of the entire army soared to unprecedented heights.
Especially after another day or two, when everyone’s conditions were under control and improving.
You’ll never believe why I moved to… Lucena CityMeetSingles
But Si Hongjing fell into deep thought upon hearing the last sentence.
Could Yuan Ying also help with the supplies…?
“Guo Bing!” Si Hongjing called out to the deputy general, his expression serious and urgent.
Deputy General Guo thought there was an emergency and rushed over in a panic.
But…
Their general asked in a serious tone:
“I remember you’re married, right?”
“Yes, this subordinate has two sons and a daughter.”
“Then tomorrow, go to the city and help me find some women’s hairpins and jewelry. Beautiful ones, the kind women would like!”
Deputy General Guo: …
How could the general talk about such a thing as if he were discussing state affairs?
Ah, no.
With the Jurchen army’s siege imminent, how could the general spend time on such things? He must have other plans.
“General, what do you need the hairpins for?”
“To give as a gift.”
“…”
After a few moments of silence, Deputy General Guo reluctantly accepted the order and left. The next day at noon, he gathered a lot of exquisite hairpins and returned.
Si Hongjing held a pile of hairpins and returned to the general’s mansion.
Deputy General Guo watched the general’s back and muttered to himself, could it be that the general was secretly hiding someone in the general’s mansion?
But Si Hongjing returned to the mansion but couldn’t come to the modern era as he wished.
The door opened, but what he saw was not Yuan Ying’s courtyard.
He regretfully put away the hairpins and returned to the camp. Before he could check on the seriously injured soldiers, someone came to report.
The enemy was attacking the city again.
Si Hongjing immediately led the soldiers to meet the enemy.
The Jurchen army stationed at Shuoguan originally intended to probe, so they didn’t send their main force.
Therefore, in front of the Daqian soldiers with high morale and high spirits, this team was simply not enough to watch.
In just half an hour, they wiped out the enemy, leaving only one or two survivors to go back and ‘report’.
“May Heaven bless Daqian!”
“Daqian will surely win!”
After many days, the Daqian army finally achieved a small victory.
The already high morale was almost bursting under the victory brought by the enemy.
They waved their flags, shouted loudly, and their eyes were filled with tears. The entire Dongping Pass seemed to have been revitalized.
But the situation in Shuoguan was completely different from that in Dongping Pass.
The Jurchen general looked at the three people who had escaped back and was so angry that he almost tore down the general’s tent.
“How is it possible that only three of you came back alive! With the military strength of Dongping Pass, it’s absolutely impossible!”
The team he sent out couldn’t take Dongping Pass, but they could definitely retreat safely. How could the entire army be wiped out!
“The military strength of Dongping Pass is very strong.”
“Their soldiers are all majestic and imposing, not like they are seriously injured!”
“So many people from Daqian fought bravely, like elite soldiers, and they kept shouting that they had immortal medicine, and they were not afraid of being injured at all…”
Immortals!
Immortals again!
The Jurchen general’s eyes were bloodshot.
He was clearly about to take Dongping Pass in the next few days, who exactly is this damn immortal!
“Three days later, this general will personally lead the army to attack the city! I want to see what abilities that immortal has!”
And the immortal herself was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror at this time, making strange movements and expressions from time to time, which were inexplicably familiar.
If there were Daqian soldiers present, they would definitely find that she was learning from their general!
Yuan Ying went to various pharmacies in the city early this morning to buy medicine, agreed on a time to deliver the goods to her door, and went home to feel life.
She loves acting and has taken countless acting classes, but with little effect. She is still stiff and rigid, lacks emotion, and has empty eyes. She is called a ‘wooden beauty’ by her haters who say she is nothing but a pretty face.
After suffering setbacks in filming, being backstabbed by her agency, and being cheated on by her boyfriend, she turned down all the announcements she could push and retreated to her hometown.
But unexpectedly, she actually gained some insight from yesterday’s bizarre experience, and her acting seemed to have improved.
The fire that had been extinguished in Yuan Ying’s heart suddenly burst into a small flame.
She originally wanted to do a good deed, but now…
She is determined to help Si Hongjing!
