Chapter 226 - Do You Need Any More Blood!
Tang Yue ran too fast. By the time he reached the city gate, he was already out of breath. He immediately saw the man in silver armor standing in the crowd. When he saw Tang Yue talking to the people around him, he calmed down.
As if he had sensed something, Crown Prince Zhao glanced over. His eyes focused as he squeezed through the crowd and walked towards Tang Yue.
Tang Yue stopped and watched him run to his side. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked, “Didn't I forbid you to come here?”
Tang Yue did not say anything. He did what he had always wanted to do. He hugged Crown Prince Zhao tightly and smelled the mixture of sweat and blood on his body. The cold armor cooled the heat on his body and made him feel very comfortable.
Crown Prince Zhao hugged him back and patted his back. He pushed him away a little and looked him up and down a few times. “Are you tired? I asked you to take you back to rest.”
Tang Yue shook his head. “No, I'll wait for you.”
Crown Prince Zhao did not insist. He held his hand and walked back to his previous position. The surrounding soldiers looked at them curiously. After all, it was rare for men to hug each other so openly.
Crown Prince Zhao's identity was not revealed, but everyone knew that he came from Ye City. Even City Lord Yang and City Lord Wang listened to him. Clearly, he was very expensive.
“That's a godly doctor. He was the one who treated me when I sent the captain there.” A soldier whispered to his companion.
“Did the captain really come back? He was shot in the chest by an arrow and was pierced through.” The other party said in surprise.
“Yes, I thought he would die for sure. However, the higher-ups had instructed me to send anyone who still had a breath on the battlefield to Jade Glory Street. I didn't expect that there would really be a godly doctor. When I came back, the captain was still alive. I also took out the arrow.”
“Godly doctor… It seems that there is only one person in South Jin who can be called a godly doctor, right?”
“Don't say it, I think so too. Especially when I saw him hugging that person just now. I'm even more certain. It must be…” The soldier made a gesture, but it did not mean anything. It was just that the soldier had miraculously understood it.
“It is…” The soldiers who had guessed Crown Prince Zhao's identity were shocked. They did not expect Crown Prince to come out of Qinyang City at the most critical moment.
At this moment, everyone's emotions were complicated, but without a doubt, everyone's confidence was raised to the highest level. Their morale instantly soared.
Crown Prince Zhao and Tang Yue did not feel anything about this. They walked to the middle of the generals and listened to their discussions.
The few of them stopped talking. Yang Feng and Wang Dingjun bowed and said sincerely, “Thank you for your hard work, young master.”
As Crown Princess, he could have stayed in the pavilion and enjoyed the fine clothes and food, but now he came to this place of trouble and stood behind them without caring about his safety.
As Crown Princess, he could originally turn a blind eye to death and guard the safest city lord's manor. No one would say that he was not, but he personally treated the injured soldiers. Not only did he bring enough manpower, but he also brought enough medicinal herbs.
Why didn't Yang Feng and the others sigh? How could they not be grateful?
“You two are too polite. This is what I should do.”
Crown Prince Zhao held Tang Yue's hand tightly and looked at him deeply. He turned to everyone and said, “The city wall must be repaired and reinforced overnight. The weapons on the city wall should be replenished in time. Although the enemy lost the first battle, they are not completely defeated. We must prepare for the second attack at any time.”
“Don't worry, Your Highness. These arrangements have been made beforehand. It's just that the soldiers are tired today. The guards at night might need to be rearranged.”
“There's nothing to do tonight. Let everyone have a good rest.” The enemy's casualties were at least ten times greater than theirs, so there was no way they would suddenly attack tonight.
Tang Yue also said, “Everyone is hungry and tired. Let's go eat and rest first. We can leave the matters here to someone else to supervise.”
The people in this city needed to be mobilized. At least, they did not need to worry about logistics.
“This subordinate will escort Mistress back.” Wang Dingjun asked someone to bring the horses back and wanted to go back with Crown Prince Zhao.
Tang Yue sat behind Crown Prince Zhao, hugged his waist, and pressed his face against his cold armor. “Let's go from Yu Rong Street. I still need to see those wounded soldiers.”
Not all of them would survive after the surgery. There were too many postoperative complications. No one knew if they could survive.
Yu Rong Street was still very lively. Many families who had relatives who joined the army heard that this was a place for the wounded soldiers, and they all came here. They looked around with some contradictions in their hearts.
Tang Yue left Crown Prince Zhao waiting outside the door. He changed into a white coat at the door and entered the house. He was so tired that he was lying down. He was snoring lightly. Another assistant was guarding the ward and testing the temperature of a few patients from time to time.
Tang Yue had told the patient that it was very easy for him to have a fever after surgery. If the fever did not subside, he had to inform him as soon as possible.
Tang Yue walked in quietly and saw a person lying on the bed. He turned around when he heard footsteps and recognized Tang Yue. That was why he stopped killing.
Tang Yue was shocked. This young man's eyes were scary. He did not look like an ordinary soldier, but he was wearing the uniform of an ordinary soldier. Could he be a hermit who had just been recruited?
The young man got up and moved aside. He asked Tang Yue to take a look at his brother. Tang Yue glanced at the blood bag hanging on the bed. It was almost empty, so he pulled out the needle.
The young man immediately pulled up his sleeves, revealing a bronze arm. Tang Yue took a glance and saw the bulging muscles and blue veins. He knew that this arm must be very strong.
“Do you still need blood? I do!” The young man had seen blood drawing today and knew what was going on.
Tang Yue shook his head with a smile. “No need. It's enough for now. Your blood has not been matched yet. It might not be suitable for him.”
Tang Yue checked the patient's condition. He was seriously injured. One of his arms was broken. There were several knife wounds on his body. His internal organs were also damaged. To be honest, he could not guarantee that this person would wake up.
Looking at the young man's anxious expression, Tang Yue could not bear to beat him. He said euphemistically, “His injuries are very serious. He is temporarily saved, but it will take at least three days to completely pass the critical period.”
The young man pursed his lips and nodded. “Thank you.” The person who was already dead came back to life. The young man was extremely grateful.
“Also, since you insist on staying by his side, you must ensure that your body is clean. You must change your clothes and shoes. You must wash your hands and face clean. It's best if you wash your hair clean as well. Don't bring any dirty things near him.”
Although the young man didn't know what was going on, he still agreed very carefully.
“If he has a fever in the middle of the night, go to the guardians. They will feed him fever medicine.”
“Understood.”
Tang Yue walked around and told the guards what to do before he went back. On the way, he told Crown Prince Zhao about the two young men and whispered, “They should be the same as us.”
“Oh? Do you think he is special?” Crown Prince Zhao's focus was different from Tang Yue's.
Tang Yue nodded. “Yes. First of all, he does not look like an ordinary soldier. Second of all, he looks like someone who has killed many people. He looks fierce and emotionless, except when he looks at his injured brother.”
Crown Prince Zhao was tempted. He asked Wang Dingjun to check the identities of the two men. If they were reliable, he could promote them.
Most of the generals in South Jin were old, and there were too few young generals. Crown Prince Zhao had trained all of them in the past few years. He only hoped that they would be able to produce a few handsome men.
“How are Zhao Sanlang and Noble Heir of State Duke Heng? I haven't seen them for a long time, and I don't know what they have become. I heard from Ya last time that her daughter almost doesn't remember what Father looks like.”
Ya gave birth to another daughter the year before she was born. She looked so cute that even Tang Yue wanted to carry her home to raise her. Unfortunately, she was not at home for the past two years, which made this family full of regrets.
But this was also something that could not be helped. Men had to contribute and protect their country. They had to sacrifice more than just time and family.
Tang Yue was glad that he had found a man who could fight with him on the battlefield and bleed together. He did not need to be a woman in her room. He could do nothing but wait and pray.
Crown Prince Zhao answered ambiguously, “You will see them soon. You will know when you see them.”
It was already late in the night when they returned to the Prefecture. Tang Yue took a casual bath and fell asleep. Crown Prince Zhao lit the oil lamp a little darker and wrote down the gains and losses of today's battle. This was what he had to do after the battle.
Tang Yue was woken up by his son the next day. When he opened his eyes, he saw Luoyuan secretly hiding his hands behind his back. He didn't need to think to know that it wasn't an illusion that his nose was itchy just now.
He turned around and held his son in his arms. Tang Yue asked in a nasal voice, “Where is your father?”
“He woke up early. He should be with Uncle Wang now.”
“Oh, what time is it?” Tang Yue asked.
“It's almost noon. Little Daddy, if you don't get up soon, I'm going to take off my blanket.”
“What?” Tang Yue did not expect that he had slept for so long. It seemed that he was tired after concentrating all day yesterday.
“Before Father left, he said that if daddy doesn't get up before noon, pull him up and let you sleep after lunch.” Little Luoyuan explained why he wanted to take off the blanket and pushed the blame to his dad.
Tang Yue pinched his nose, got up, put on his clothes, and ate lunch with his son. He then went to Yu Rong Street.
Little Luoyuan also wanted to go. This time, Tang Yue did not compromise. His son was too young, and Yu Rong Street was too sick. It was better not to go.
“Has Luoyuan learned how to act in a movie?”
Little Luoyuan's eyes lit up. He nodded fiercely. “Yes, but I have to show my father my first performance.”
“Okay, go back and prepare. I will come back tonight to appreciate your work!” Tang Yue hugged him and kissed him, then reluctantly handed him over to the servant.
