Chapter 168 Soft Words
It was late summer and early autumn, and there was still a slight heat in the air. Although it was almost noon, Bai Xin, lying in bed, could not sleep due to the slight pain in his heart after chanting the hexagram.
He got up, took the palm-leaf fan, walked out of the room, sat on the swing chair in the yard, fanned himself intermittently, looked at the bright night sky, and was slightly dazed.
It has been nearly ten days since Ye Qi took over Gubo City. Although news is sent back every day, they haven't seen each other for more than ten days. Bai Xin is still a little anxious. He doesn't know how their fortifications are going and when they will be able to come back.
The sounds of cicadas and frogs interweaved, making the night even more desolate. At this time, a few dogs barked, and Bai Xinxin trembled slightly. She stopped fanning herself with the palm-leaf fan and listened carefully, but she felt that it seemed to be her own illusion. She chuckled, took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and continued to appreciate the twinkling stars.
Suddenly, he discovered that there seemed to be something strange outside the courtyard. Bai Xin came to his senses and stared at the gate. Not long after, a broad and handsome figure, shrouded in the silvery moonlight, appeared outside the gate.
Bai Xin stood up quickly, not knowing how to react for a moment. When the person entered the courtyard and saw the beautiful figure standing under the moonlight, he couldn't help but stand there in a daze.
Bai Xin's eyes were filled with joy. He trotted over to the man, looked at him, and asked softly, "You're back?"
The man stretched out a hand, grasped her slender waist, and held her tightly up. He stared at her deeply with his starry eyes and responded softly: "I'm back!"
"I miss you!" Being held by him, Bai Xin raised her hands to support his face, lowered her head and gave him a light kiss, she murmured with a trembling voice, her eyes were filled with mist, brighter than the stars.
"I miss you too!" Ye Qi responded softly.
He stared at her for a long time, his eyes were affectionate and bewitching.
"Why did you come back so late?" Bai Xin looked at him reluctantly and asked with trembling lips.
"I won the battle and I'm anxious to ask my wife for a reward!"
After saying that, he quickly carried Bai Xin into the room.
"General, you are cheating. Naturally, I have to ask His Majesty for a reward...!"
Bai Xin's dissatisfied and angry tone came from the room, lingering in this beautiful night.
"How can the reward from your majesty compare to the madam's..."
"General..."
The sweet whispers are drowned in the long night.
The sky was fading, and Bai Xin just wanted to close his eyes and rest, but the person next to him seemed restless.
"The general has no self-control!" Bai Xin muttered in dissatisfaction with his eyes closed.
"As a husband, I have to ask my wife for a reward!"
"It is also to punish Xin'er for her repeated disobedience!"
"And we have to get the princess's interest back!"
"It's not enough!"
Ye Qi leaned close to her slightly red ear and said vaguely. He was very satisfied with his masterpiece and couldn't help but lower his head to continue to capture the alluring fragrance from her body.
"The general is the worst. He holds a grudge like that!" Bai Xin felt a little itchy because of him. She turned her head away and said coquettishly with dissatisfaction.
"Thank you for the compliment, madam!" Ye Qi chuckled and teased her even more proudly.
"General, you are so bad, how come no one noticed it before?" Bai Xin opened his eyes and glared at him.
"The water in the moat is cold, so it can naturally calm me down." Ye Qiye stopped what he was doing and looked up at her. His eyes were like the water in a lake in the dark night, deep and unfathomable, but full of charm.
"Ah, then why doesn't the general continue to maintain that iron-like will?" Bai Xin asked him with innocent eyes.
"When I meet Xin'er, even my iron will can break me down!"
The starry eyes met his, and he couldn't help but lean over and whispered: "Madam, I am defeated in front of you!"
After saying that, he pressed his lips against hers, just briefly tasting her lips, but soon he lost control again.
Bai Xin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he was not the only one who was defeated.
It was already bright when Bai Xin woke up slowly, but she was too lazy to get up. She lay limply on the bed, annoyed that Ye Qi didn't let her rest all night, but she could still get up and go back to the camp at dawn. After struggling for a long time, she finally got up, washed and prepared to go to the medical camp.
Ye Qi brought back a lot of wounded prisoners this time, and it was said that there was also the eldest prince of Xichang. She had to go and see what was going on.
When she finished packing, besides Xier and Miner, Li Ze was also waiting for her outside the yard.
"General Li must have had so much fun that he actually wanted to come back?" Bai Xin looked at him and teased.
"Hey, that's what you said. I will always be second to you in rifle, right?" Li Ze looked at her and raised his eyebrows and said shamelessly.
"That's enough, you're becoming more and more shameless!" Bai Xin said with disdain while smiling.
"Hehehe..."
The two girls couldn't help laughing after hearing this. They thought it would be more cozy for them to be together.
A few of them chatted and laughed, and soon they walked to the prisoner camp in the medical camp.
The camp gate was heavily guarded. In addition to the courtyard wall, there were also several layers of barbed wire fences outside. In addition, the courtyard wall was also covered with iron spikes, so it was basically impossible for anyone who entered to escape. Therefore, the captives did not need to be shackled within the courtyard wall and were free to move.
However, the space is limited after all, and most of the seriously wounded prisoners are concentrated together, while the lightly wounded are locked up and separated. However, the compartments here are separated by wooden pillars, so everyone can see each other, and they all sleep on large bunk beds.
Of course, there was one exception, and that was Lebrun. Ye Qi was kind enough to arrange a single room for him.
He lived in a single room, and his soldiers were sleeping on the right bunk bed. Although they could not serve him closely, they were still respectful to him through the fence.
On the left are the two Nanliang spies whose legs were blown off. Although Nanliang was afraid of Xichang, seeing that everyone had become prisoners today, the two Nanliang people who had saved their lives basically turned a blind eye to Lebrun, and even secretly felt a little gloating when they were captured.
When Bai Xin went in, the military doctors, as well as Xia An and Xia Xiang, were treating the prisoners' injuries in an orderly manner.
Bai Xin had already dealt with the previous captive, so she went straight to where the newly delivered wounded were last night.
"His injuries are quite serious. It seems that he was kicked in the internal organs by a horse, and his arm was bitten by a rifle?"
Bai Xin came to a prisoner who was almost unconscious, and asked Xia An while turning over his wound to observe it.
"Yes, he has been injured for half a month. He should have been sent back first, but he encountered some obstacles. The general took him to Gubo City. I only gave him conservative treatment to reduce inflammation and fever."
Xia An explained to Bai Xin, glancing inconspicuously in the direction of Le Brun behind him.
"This is the attendant of the eldest prince of Xichang. He said that he wanted to die beside the eldest prince, so Ye Qi let him follow. He was seriously injured but still managed to hold on for half a month. He is a very patient person!"
Li Ze leaned closer to Bai Xin and spoke in a low voice.
Bai Xin nodded in understanding and was about to continue observing the injury when suddenly, a cold curse and the sound of something falling to the ground came from behind him.
"How dare you! How can lowly women like you touch my body?"
