Chapter 999 Arrive in Jinzhou
In the tent, Yu Youyao’s crisp smile was heard from time to time, and before you knew it, a cup of medicinal porridge had bottomed out, and half of the dried mushroom soup had been drunk.
Yu Youyao couldn’t eat it anymore, Yin Huaixi took a candied Qingjin fruit and stuffed it into Yu Youyao’s mouth. Seeing her eyes lit up, the corners of her lips couldn’t help bending.
“I’m fine.” Yu Youyao said firmly.
After tossing for a whole day, I am afraid that even the bones will fall apart. How can I eat a little and it will be fine? The silly girl was clearly comforting him.
Yin Huaixi smiled: “Let Chunxiao massage you with ointment and sleep again.”
“Okay.” Yu Youyao nodded.
After Yin Huaixi left, Chunxiao entered the tent with hot water.
In the wilderness, the conditions are simple, and it is very good to have a pot of hot water. Yu Youyao is not picky, she simply washes up, and let Chunxiao squeeze her body with ointment. Yu Youyao died on the spot.
Fortunately, the effect of the ointment was good. After the massage, a burst of sweat broke out on my body, but I felt a lot more relaxed and my body felt a little more comfortable. I fell asleep unexpectedly.
The curtain of the tent was lifted, and Yin Huaixi was not at ease after all.
Seeing that she was lying on the couch, hugging the quilt and having already fallen asleep, there were still tears on her plain face, and her eyelids were still swollen. Even when she fell asleep, her eyebrows were slightly twisted.
The tip of her heart twitched slightly, and Yin Huaixi bent over to help her tuck the quilt, and then took off her cloak and put it on the quilt.
He reached out and stroked her eyebrows, looked down at her sleeping face for a while, and left the tent quietly after a while.
Chunxiao stayed outside the revenue.
Yin Huaixi lowered her voice and explained: “I light a soothing incense in the house, it’s very cold at night in the wilderness, don’t let the small stove in the tent go out, Mrs. Tang needs to change it every hour, both hands and feet, it’s hard to travel these days. , you pay more attention, if she is uncomfortable, come over and report, don’t let her temper.”
Yu Youyao learned to forbear when she was a child. Don’t look at the small temper before, but after rushing the road for a day, she gritted her teeth and held on, and even in front of him, she didn’t say a word of pain or tiredness.
Chunxiao responded quickly.
In the middle of the night, Yu Youyao was awakened by the sound of a wild beast.
Chun Xiao said quickly: “Miss, don’t be afraid. People are afraid of beasts, and beasts are also afraid of people. There are more than 1,000 people in the road, and the beasts must also seek benefits and avoid harm. The howling is just to deter you, you can sleep for a while.”
Yu Youyao nodded with a pale face.
But how can not sleep.
At this time, Yin Huaixi lifted the curtain and entered.
A gust of cold wind poured in, Yu Youyao shrunk in the bed, slapped her neck, and felt cold all over.
“Don’t be afraid,” Yin Huaixi said in a low voice, “the beast won’t go down the mountain, just sleep for a while.”
The screams of the beasts came and went, and they were very scary. Even though they knew that the beasts would not go down the mountain, they still felt scared in their hearts. Yu Youyao’s hand stretched out from the bed and hooked his fingers: “I’m not afraid now.”
Yin Huaixi frowned, pulled the quilt, and covered her hand: “Why are your hands so cold? Is it not warm inside the quilt?”
Yu Youyao shook her head: “Mother Tang is still hot, have you been staying outside the tent? I’m fine, it’s the first time I’m camping in the wild, and I’m not used to it.”
It was she who slept unsteadily. After being awakened by the sound of the beast, she tossed and turned on the bed, and the heat in the bed was dissipated after a toss.
“Go to sleep, when you fall asleep, I’ll go to rest.” Yin Huaixi said softly.
Yu Youyao hurriedly closed his eyes and hooked him not to let go. It was probably because the smell of soothing incense in the room was too strong, and it made people’s eyelids dizzy.
Before dawn, Chunxiao woke up Yu Youyao and pinched her body with ointment. Her body was still sore, but it was not as uncomfortable as yesterday.
After a brief grooming, Xia Tao entered the tent with a food tray, a bowl of rock sugar tremella soup, two buns, and a boiled egg.
“The Jiamo was baked by His Highness himself. His Highness said that if you eat liquid food on the road during the day, you will be very hungry, and your body will not be able to stand it, so you need to eat something full.”
Although the food is a bit crude, the buns are crispy and crispy. The roasted mushrooms inside are fragrant and tender. They taste delicious and not greasy. Sweet and refreshing.
Dawn is approaching, the world is still dark, and on the eastern horizon, a bright and dazzling morning star shines in the sky, and the army leads the way to the light under the guidance of the morning star.
In the evening three days later, the army finally arrived at Jinzhou City.
Yu Youyao lifted the curtain of the car, the towering city wall, mottled by war, looked tall and stern, with an inviolable sacredness and vicissitudes.
Since ancient times, Jinzhou has been a battleground for military strategists. It is the most powerful barrier to resist foreign invasions and protect the rule of the Han people. There are countless battles in this city-state.
At this time, Jinzhou has been under complete martial law.
The gates of the city were closed, and the number of troops guarding the city on the city tower was three times higher than before. The sentry towers and arrow towers on the city walls were all guarded by special personnel.
Almost all the birds that flew through this sky were shot by the long-range archers who were in charge of sentrying.
The arrow towers are also equipped with large arrows. This type of arrow requires multiple people to pull together. The range is farther than that of bows and arrows, and the power is greater than that of bows and arrows. It can send more than a dozen arrows in a row.
In the battle of defending the city, more than a dozen daggers and the soldiers defending the city fired arrows at the same time, and they could send out hundreds of arrows in an instant, forming a short rain of arrows. The offensive trend has taken the lead.
“Open the door!” With Yin Huaixi’s order, the huge lacquered iron gate made a dull thunderous roar, and then slowly opened.
The army walked through the streets, and wherever they went, the people fled and cheered.
Contrary to Yu Youyao’s expectations, Jinzhou City, as a frontier fortress, was not as desolate as he imagined. The shops were open for business, and people came and went around. It seemed leisurely and calm, a lively scene.
The upcoming war does not seem to have any impact on the people of Jinzhou.
Yu Youyao was very puzzled.
Her doubts were quickly answered for her.
“King Wu Mu led his army to Jinzhou. Is there going to be a war in the north? What should we do?”
“Eighty percent of them are going to fight. The people near Fuxin City have begun to move to Jinzhou in batches. Recently, there are many more people in the city.”
“There are wars everywhere, and I don’t know when it will be the end of this day.”
“I’d rather be a peace dog than a troubled world.”
