Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 623
Chapter 623 A Pause in the War
At the beginning of the year.
After Yun Xiao bandaged this batch of wounded people, she did not rest for a long time, causing her face to turn pale.
Unable to endure the persuasion of the soldiers and military doctors, Yunxiao had to leave the barracks first and return to her tent.
After returning to the tent, Jiang’er had already instructed people to prepare everything for Yun Xiao’s bath.
Thinking that she still had to return to the barracks later, Yunxiao did not want to bathe. However, she thought that she wanted to see Er Xiao. In addition, her body was really tired, so she agreed and went into the clean room to bathe.
Her body was soaked in hot water, and the pores of her limbs and bones seemed to be clamoring. Yun Xiao could not help but yell.
Perhaps it was too comfortable to soak in the bathtub. Yun Xiao was tired for a day and fell asleep in the bathtub just like that.
Outside, Jiang’er saw that Yun Xiao hadn’t come out for a long time, so she gently entered the clean room. When she saw Yun Xiao leaning against the edge of the bathtub and sleeping, her cold gaze was filled with admiration.
He asked someone to bring another bucket of hot water and gently add it in to keep the temperature in the bath bucket so that Yun Xiao wouldn’t get cold.
After leaving the clean room, he saw Xiao Xi walking around worriedly. Hearing Jiang’er’s footsteps, he immediately ran over and asked with a worried expression, “Sister Jiang’er, what happened to sister-in-law? Why hasn’t she come out yet?” Logically speaking, Yun Xiao had already entered the clean room for a long time, so she should have already come out. After not coming out for such a long time, Xiao Xi was very worried.
“The princess is just too tired. Let the princess rest for a while. Little master, go back and lie down first. The medicine in your eyes hasn’t been removed yet.” Jiang’er saw the worry on Xiao Xi’s face and comforted her.
Hearing Jiang’er’s words, Xiao Xi heaved a sigh of relief and whispered, “It’s good that sister-in-law is fine.” Afraid of waking Yunxiao up, Xiao Xi followed behind Jiang’er into the tent. But hearing the commotion everywhere, Xiao Xi’s nerves couldn’t help but tense up. “Big sister Jiang’er, are we going to win this battle?” Although she had never seen it with her own eyes, she could hear so many footsteps clearly.
Jiang’er nodded her head, her cold gaze filled with confidence. “Your Highness and Concubine will definitely not lose!”
After Xiao Xi returned to the tent, he did not listen to Jiang’er’s words and lay down to rest. Instead, he asked for incense candles to pray for peace.
…
Yun Xiao slowly woke up and pinched her eyebrows. She looked around and remembered that she was not in the barracks now.
The warm bath soup was still the same. Yun Xiao washed a few times before leaving the bath tub. After putting on her clothes, she saw Liu’er respectfully walking in. She looked at Yun Xiao with a worried expression, “Princess, are you alright?”
Yun Xiao nodded. She was just too tired. After soaking in the bath for so long and sleeping for a while, her spirits were still much better. “How was the battle outside? Has Your Highness sent a message?”
“Your Highness sent someone to deliver a letter.” Liu’er handed the letter to Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao opened the letter and saw that there were only a few words on the blank paper, “Take care of yourself and rest.”
The few words made Yun Xiao feel warm in her heart. The exhaustion of the whole day disappeared at this moment.
Bring Liu’er back to the tent, Yun Xiao first checked Erxiao and Xiaoxi, then sat down in front of the table to grind ink and write, wrote the letter, and bound it so that Liu’er could deliver the letter to Rong Jin.
On the battlefield, Rong Jin’s entire body was stained with blood. The moon-white robe was even more dazzling with a faint stench of blood. Those blood spots were as dazzling as red plums blooming in the snow.
Liu ‘Er did not dare to look at the faint-looking man, but respectfully handed over the letter in her hand.
Rong Jin opened the letter. There were only two words on the blank paper. However, these two words gave Rong Jin a gentle light on his warm face.
Just because the letter clearly said, “Wait for you.”
Thinking of Yun Xiao waiting for him to return from the barracks, Rong Jin’s heart was filled with warmth. If not for the importance of this battle, he would have already left the battlefield, hugged that petite person in his arms, and kneaded her into his heart.
Never before had Rong Jin felt that time was so long.
However, at this moment, a soldier dressed in blood rushed in and bowed in Rong Jin’s direction. He said with an ugly expression, “Your Highness, the troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty have increased their offensive again.”
Rong Jin furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. Then, he looked outside through the open curtains. The night was getting denser and denser, but under the countless torches, it was as bright as day.
A gust of cold wind blew over, causing the flames on the torch to tremble undetectedly, and it also dispelled the warmth that had only been obtained with great difficulty from the tent.
Rong Jin frowned and waved at the soldier, “You can go down first.”
When the soldiers walked out, Rong Jin sat on the table and milled ink to reply to Yun Xiao’s letter.
The moment he handed the letter to Liu’er, a faint smile appeared in Rong Jin’s eyes, hoping that she would understand what he meant.
After Yun Xiao received Rong Jin’s reply, she immediately opened it. A few large words leapt onto the paper, “It’s getting cold, remember to add clothes.”
Yun Xiao put down the letter and hurriedly walked out of the tent.
The maids and brooks in the room did not know what Bai Yunxiao was thinking, why did they leave the tent?
Yun Xiao walked to the entrance of the tent and looked at the pitch-black night sky. A dark cloud completely covered the already dim moon. A gust of cold wind blew over, causing Yun Xiao to shiver undetectedly.
Liu’er held the cloak and draped it over Yun Xiao’s shoulders, not saying anything.
But at this moment, the corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth rose slightly.
She took out the token in her arms and said to the secret guard who was guarding the door, “Pass on my orders and send all the winter clothes prepared in the barracks to the soldiers. In addition, the winter clothes on the battlefield must be sent immediately to ensure that all the soldiers can get winter clothes in half an hour.” The so-called things were the cotton-padded jackets and trousers worn in battle.
It was now November. Although the weather had turned cold, it was not time to wear winter clothes. Yun Xiao’s order caused everyone in the room to be slightly stunned.
However, these hidden guards were all left behind by Rong Jin for Yun Xiao. Before Rong Jin left, he instructed them to obey Yun Xiao’s orders when he wasn’t around.
The hidden guard did not dare to hesitate and immediately accepted the token, spreading Yun Xiao’s orders.
Seeing the Dark Guards leave, Yun Xiao looked at the sky again.
The moon was still obscured by the dark clouds, and there was no intention of coming out of the clouds.
The cold wind blew the candle flickering in the room.
Yun Xiao turned around and looked at the time. She first went back to feed Er Xiao some breast milk, then pulled up the creek that could not bear to fall asleep and removed all the medicine from her eyes.
The little girl’s heart was extremely pure. In addition, she was extremely tired today, so she did not wake up after being tormented like this.
After dealing with a few small matters, Yun Xiao put on her cape and brought Liu’er and a few hidden guards out of the tent again.
When Yun Xiao saw that the soldiers had already been assigned a certain amount of time, and the people who were transporting winter clothes and distributing things to the soldiers who stayed behind were in good order, there was no chaos at all. When she saw this, a trace of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
After patrolling the entire barracks, Yun Xiao saw a group of wounded soldiers being sent over again. A strong smell of blood came from them. Yun Xiao frowned undetectable.
No one knew that after experiencing the scene of blood flowing into a river the moment she died in her previous life, Yun Xiao, who had awakened from her rebirth, was very displeased with the smell of blood. But now, she completely concealed her displeasure and entered the barracks again, dressing the wounds of the soldiers.
Even though there were already a lot of military doctors, with Yun Xiao’s help, there were even some lightly injured soldiers who would treat their wounds themselves, but because there were too many wounded, these people were simply not enough.
Yun Xiao stood up and looked at the countless injured soldiers. She frowned slightly. She had to think of a way. Otherwise, many soldiers would not be rescued and a series of illnesses would become more and more serious.
Yun Xiao thought for a moment, and then ordered a small team of 1,000 people to be dispatched. Then, she ordered a military doctor to teach the 1,000 soldiers how to bandage their wounds.
These soldiers had always lived a life on the tip of their knives. They had some foundation for dealing with wounds. With the guidance of military doctors, they learned quickly. In just fifteen minutes, they were almost able to deal with some simple wounds on their own.
With the help of these thousand soldiers, dressing the wounds was much easier.
Many soldiers’ wounds had been treated in time, so this time, the casualties in the West Vietnamese army were very few compared to the soldiers in the East Jin Dynasty.
However, this time, there were many soldiers who were transferred back from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so much so that for a while, the two armies were locked in a stalemate and there was no outcome.
After dealing with all the wounded in this wave, Yunxiao was not used to the smell of blood in the tent and walked out.
Unexpectedly, just as he walked out of the tent, he saw small snowflakes floating in the sky.
Because of the snow, the surrounding temperature plummeted, so much so that even though Yun Xiao was wearing a cape, she couldn’t help but shiver because of the contrast between the indoor and outdoor temperatures.
Because it was snowing, there was no need for Yun Xiao to instruct. The people who stayed in the barracks had automatically put on their winter clothes. The soldiers who were puzzled about giving out winter clothes earlier now looked at Yun Xiao with more gratitude.
If it weren’t for the princess’ foresight to send out her winter clothes earlier, they would probably have been frozen.
Seeing that the soldiers who stayed behind did not show any signs of illness, Yun Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Rong Jin reminded her, otherwise this snow would really freeze many people.
Yun Xiao had no doubt as to why Rong Jin could predict whether it would snow or not. After all, in her heart, Rong Jin had always known astronomy and geography from above. Adding on the moonlight and wind direction today, she could deduce it.
Seeing the snowflakes outside the tent getting heavier and heavier, Yun Xiao revealed a faint smile. If this snow was heavy enough, then the war between East Jin and West Vietnam would end as quickly as possible.
After all, fighting on snowy days was already difficult, and regardless of which side it was, it would increase the mortality rate.
However, Yun Xiao did not expect that Zhou Jingyan would actually use the cover of the heavy snow to lay down a future problem that could destroy the heavens and destroy the earth for the West Yue army.
