Chapter 52: Surprise Attack (2)
Just after bandaging the wound.
"How about it?"
Yin Yin asked anxiously.
"It's okay. You'll recover if you take a good rest."
"Thank you so much, Dr. Xue."
"You don't need to thank me, Princess. Compared to Prince Jing at that time, his condition is much better. It can only be said that he was lucky to be able to suture it in time, otherwise his arm would definitely be lost."
"No matter what, thank you for your hard work."
The reason why Xue Han was able to save the soldier's arm was, firstly, his medical skills, and secondly, he had a great advantage in time; the reason why Zhou Yan's situation was different before was, firstly, because his injuries were more serious, and secondly, he completely missed the best period for treatment. In the end, with the joint surgery of Xue Han and Wang Ye, his almost disabled hand was finally saved.
After this incident came to an end, Zhou Yan and his companions were slightly disrupted by the attack, and their progress slowed down. Shan Zhen, who had been chasing them all the way from Changcheng, was already approaching...
"General!!!"
A vanguard soldier came back from the front and ran straight to Shan Zhen. Seeing the vanguard soldier coming back, Shan Zhen immediately stopped the team.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the returning vanguard soldiers looking anxious, Shan Zhen guessed that something must have happened.
"General, we have found traces of a fight ahead. Judging it seems that Prince Jing and his entourage were attacked by assassins."
"What?"
Shan Zhen was shocked. Assassin? Could it be that those people hiding in the dark are taking action again? Who is the target?
"Take me to see it quickly."
"yes!"
Shan Zhen didn't dare to make any wild guesses. No matter who the assassin's target was, the consequences would be serious.
Shan Zhen went to the scene with the pioneer soldiers. When he arrived at the scene, other pioneer soldiers were investigating the scene. Looking at the large amount of blood, the bodies of the assassins and the weapons left by the officers and soldiers, it was obvious that Zhou Yan and his group were attacked. There were no bodies of officers and soldiers at the scene. Was there no casualties among Zhou Yan and his group? Or? Shan Zhen put these questions aside for the time being and walked to the bodies of the assassins carried out by the pioneer soldiers. He tore off their clothes and didn't seem to find anything that concerned him.
"Give orders immediately and catch up with Prince Jing with all your strength."
"yes!!"
After receiving Shan Zhen's order, a vanguard soldier immediately turned around to do it. Regardless of whether the assassin had something that concerned him, Shan Zhen knew that Zhou Yan and his men would be attacked again. Although he also knew that Zhou Yan had a lot of guards, he could not sit idly by out of concern for Yin Yin's safety.
at night.
Zhou Yan and his group were attacked during the day and were unable to reach half of the planned distance. They set up camp in a forest. A tent...
"how's it going?"
Seeing Xiuying just coming in, Yinyin, with a worried look on her face, hurried forward to ask about the situation.
"Don't worry, Princess. Lord Xue has already seen the injured soldiers . As for the dead soldiers, Prince Jing has already sent people to cremate them. Afterwards, their ashes will be sent back to their families."
"Yeah……"
After hearing Xiuying's answer, Yinyin was obviously relieved. It might be because she had been in a tense state, and suddenly relaxed, causing Yinyin to stumble and fall. Fortunately, Xiuying was quick to hold her up...
"Princess???"
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Yinyin perfunctorily talked about her relationship with Xiuying. With her support, Yinyin sat on the edge of the bed. Seeing Yinyin like this, Xiuying didn't think she was okay, so she didn't dare to let go of her hand...
"I'm really fine. I just felt a little dizzy because I suddenly felt relieved..."
"Princess!"
Xiuying deeply admired Yinyin's concern and consideration for others, and was speechless for a moment.
"By the way, where is Prince Jing?"
"I'm here."
Almost at the same time when Yin Yin finished speaking, Zhou Yan's voice was heard from the door, which made Yin Yin and Xiuying startled for a moment. Looking at the door, Zhou Yan had already lifted the curtain and walked in.
"I just happened to come and see how you were doing. I didn't expect you to come to me. What's the matter?"
"Those soldiers who died..."
"I have arranged for someone to send them back home tomorrow."
After hearing Zhou Yan's words, Yin Yin fell silent and lowered her head. While feeling sad, she seemed to have something else to say.
" Just tell me what you want. I will satisfy you as long as it is your wish."
Zhou Yan said he could do it, so how could Yin Yin not know it? It was Yin Yin who suggested to Zhou Yan to cremate the bodies of the soldiers who died during the day. Zhou Yan ordered people to carry their bodies forward without saying a word, which affected the formation and then cremated them in the camp.
"They all seem to be still young, there must be someone waiting for them to return home..."
"Well, don't worry, I have already ordered that the families of those people be compensated accordingly."
Compensation is what should be done. This is what Yin Yin failed to say. She didn't expect Zhou Yan to have done it. Should Yin Yin feel relieved? No, Yin Yin was indeed very relieved when Zhou Yan thought about doing this. However, she thought about the expressions of the families of the deceased when they received the news of their death.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Yin Yin frowning, Zhou Yan stepped forward to ask her, but Yin Yin still looked immersed in sadness, which only made Zhou Yan more worried. Coming to Yin Yin's side, Zhou Yan gestured to Xiuying, asking her to leave. Xiuying knew what Zhou Yan meant and left on her own accord. After seeing Xiuying leave, Zhou Yan turned his gaze back to Yin Yin.
"Yin Yin?"
“Those people…”
While talking to Zhou Yan, Yin Yin also spoke. Since Yin Yin had spoken, Zhou Yan immediately gave in and let Yin Yin speak first.
