As the old saying goes, wisteria flowers will not bloom for a hundred days, and the shaky peaceful days in the war will not last forever. Bai Zhi had anticipated this, but she did not expect that this day would come so soon.
She was changing the dressings on a wounded soldier when she saw Wei Fuguang's driver hurried over and asked for a moment to speak. Once outside, the driver lowered his voice and said, "Master Wei has received orders from King Jing to lead the entire city out of Wu, starting from the west. He wants me to ask Miss Bai to go to the east gate first. There are fast horses waiting for her at the gate."
Bai Zhi only sighed briefly, then accepted the fact without much resistance. She nodded and said, "I'm going to pick up my younger brother and sister first."
"Please hurry up, young lady. The big stone formation is about to collapse."
Bai Zhi frowned and said, "The big stone formation is to prevent enemy attacks. Recently, the war has reached the doorstep of the barbarians. How could the big stone formation collapse?"
The driver shook his head: "I'm not sure about that."
The less rumors there are, the more serious the situation. Bai Zhi didn't waste time thinking about it. She immediately took off her bloodstained coat and rushed to the Yibingshangfang. But before she could run a few steps, she was grabbed by a soldier who was rushing over with a wounded soldier on his back. "Are you Bai Zhi?"
Bai Zhi knew she was here to seek medical treatment when she saw her appearance, so she tilted her head in the direction of Doctor Jiang and said quickly, "There's a doctor there, go find her, I have something urgent to deal with."
Unexpectedly, the sergeant didn't let go, and a faint voice came from her back: "Don't go that way..."
"Don't go that way? What's that way?"
The soldier leaned slightly to the side, showing Bai Zhi the face of the person on his back. "Qiao Wanwan said you are her good friend. You should deal with her first. Don't go outside the city. A group of barbarian soldiers raided the Great Stone Formation today, and there are many barbarian soldiers lying in ambush outside the city."
Bai Zhi took a closer look and saw that the person covered in blood on the soldier's back was indeed Qiao Wanwan!
The voice that spoke just now was so hoarse that she didn't recognize it at all.
Bai Zhi's head suddenly buzzed and her head pounded. She slapped her head twice, forced herself to calm down, and said hurriedly, "Follow me!"
The sergeant followed closely.
There weren't many wounded soldiers at the Sick and Injury Center today, so Bai Zhi found a quiet corner to settle Qiao Wanwan. She stripped her clothes and cleaned her wounds from head to toe. Fortunately, Qiao Wanwan's injuries were only horrific; they were actually minor, non-fatal flesh wounds. The most serious was the wound on her leg. Bai Zhi cut through the layers of blood-soaked gauze, revealing deep enough to reveal the bone, and the wound had already begun to ooze pus.
Bai Zhi patted Qiao Wanwan's face twice and raised her voice, "Qiao Wanwan! Wake up! Don't sleep!"
The force was quite strong, and two loud slaps woke Qiao Wanwan up. She turned her head with difficulty to look at Bai Zhi, her bloodshot eyes wide open as she gasped, "Reporting the base... The barbarians attacked the stone formation..."
Bai Zhi sighed, then lowered her voice to soothe him, "Don't worry about it. King Jing just issued a major order for the entire city to avoid the battle. He said the stone formation is about to collapse. I guess the garrison has already known about it."
Qiao Wanwan nodded weakly, then lay back down with peace of mind. The soldier carrying her said, "Since that's the case, we can't stay here anymore. Please give her some simple medicine, and I'll take her to the neighboring county later."
Bai Zhi skillfully cleaned the wound, applied medicine, and bandaged it while asking, "What's your name?"
"Ji Feilan."
"Miss Ji, there's a fast horse prepared by Lord Langwei at the south city gate. I'll write you a note later. You can take Qiao Wanwan and ride that horse to leave Wu County."
Ji Feilan paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "This is considered desertion. You are Qiao Wanwan's good friend, so please keep it a secret for us." Then she immediately began to take off her armor, so skillfully that Bai Zhi was a little surprised. She had thought that the soldiers defending the city were all people like Qiao Wanwan, loyal and righteous men who could remain unmoved even under the blows of knives and axes. She had thought that it would take some talking, but Ji Feilan agreed to it so easily.
Sure enough, when Qiao Wanwan heard the word "deserter", she struggled to get up again: "I won't leave... Feilan, can you be a little more promising..."
Ji Feilan was unmoved: "General Zhu ordered me to take you to the Sickness and Injury House to recuperate. Now that the Sickness and Injury House is gone, I have to escape first as a last resort."
Bai Zhi thought to herself, Bingshangfang is still here.
Qiao Wanwan opened her eyes wide: "...Why should we run away now that the Sickness and Injury Workshop is gone?"
Ji Feilan glanced at her and said, "It's not worth dying here. Recover yourself and die on the battlefield."
Qiao Wanwan was momentarily speechless. Bai Zhi rummaged through the boxes and found two ginseng roots. She pried open Qiao Wanwan's mouth and forced them in: "Chew them up and swallow them."
Ji Feilan asked Bai Zhi, "Will lying down for another stick of incense be enough?"
Bai Zhi tore off a piece of cloth, dipped her finger in Qiao Wanwan's blood and wrote a few words, then handed it to Ji Feilan: "The night is long and dreams are many, let's go now."
The two exchanged glances and worked together to pick up Qiao Wanwan. They stripped off the bloody armor and wrapped a relatively clean sheet around the ripped and ripped garment. Qiao Wanwan was so weak she felt like a thousand pounds. Bai Zhi tossed her around in a sweat, but Ji Feilan handled her effortlessly, lifting her up and carrying her on her back.
Perhaps it was the two ginseng roots that had taken effect, Qiao Wanwan suddenly regained her strength and grabbed Ji Feilan's collar tightly. "I'm Qiao Wanwan, the marching captain of the Weizhou garrison. If I run away, it's the same as dying here."
Ji Feilan: "Of course..."
Qiao Wanwan interrupted, "How could the common people trust a soldier who had escaped halfway? Feilan, put me down."
Ji Feilan didn't move. She glanced at Bai Zhi and found that she was looking at Qiao Wanwan with a very complicated expression, seeming a little angry, but also a little compassionate.
After a moment of silence, Bai Zhi sighed, "Ancestor Qiao, what is more important than saving your life?"
Qiao Wanwan suddenly curled her lips in a scoundrelly manner and said, "I want to be a general."
"What the hell?"
"I want power, Baizhi. I want to be a general. When I was in the Marquis' Mansion, you thought I was useless, beat me, and made me a monster. Have you forgotten?"
Bai Zhi blinked her eyes. She really had no recollection of it.
Qiao Wanwan continued, "We were both lucky to be able to escape from the Marquis' Mansion without being implicated. After finally finding freedom, you began to live your life of idleness and idleness. Suddenly, the barbarian went crazy and ruined your good life. Don't you hate it?"
How could I not hate him? Bai Zhi thought to herself. Every time she thought of that bastard Ge Zhen, her teeth almost broke.
"My good days are now. Although I am on the edge of a knife every day and I may die any day, I am calm. In the mansion, I have delicious food and drink every day, and there are people to serve me no matter what I do. But I am confused."
Qiao Wanwan had spoken too much and too quickly, so she couldn't help but cough twice. After catching her breath, she continued, "No sugarcane is sweet at both ends. I can't be calm and afraid of death at the same time."
Bai Zhi held it in for a long time and said dryly, "If I die, I won't even have the chance to be at peace."
"I still say that if I run away from the battlefield, I'd rather die now."
Ji Feilan shook her head and added, "Stubborn donkey."
