As night falls, the stars dot the deep sky, and the silver light shines on the land that has just experienced a fierce battle.

Inside the simple temporary hospital in Xiaozhai, the dim light illuminated Wang Li's focused profile. His hands moved skillfully on the wounded, and every touch was a respect and salvation for life.

Zheng Yu'e stood quietly by, her eyes fixed on Wang Li's every move, with indescribable emotions surging in her heart.

Zheng Yu'e also often fought and had seen all kinds of wounds. Seeing Wang Li being confident no matter how serious his injuries were, she became even more obsessed.

She was used to seeing life and death, but she had never seen such a calm and skilled doctor. Wang Li treated every wounded person without reservation. His eyes were firm and full of faith, as if telling the world: As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will never give up.

Many seriously injured soldiers could not be saved in the past. You have to know that in this era without antibiotics, the survival rate of battlefield wounded is generally between 20% and 50%. Zheng Yu'e knew this, but with Wang Li, it seemed that they could all be saved.

The personal soldier next to her gently pushed her and made a saliva-inserting gesture to remind her, and only then did she pay attention to her image at all times.

The people outside would first carry in the people from Liangshan and Hongtaoshan, and then carry in the government troops. When the government troops were carried in, Xiao Biaozi would stop them, and the soldiers carrying the wounded would say, "Master Biao, these are wounded, they are all right." Xiao Biaozi would jump up to check before letting them in. When he went up, he would accurately find the sharp weapons one by one, which was more useful than the security checks in later generations.

Most people on Liangshan called him Master Biao. Only a few people like Wang Li, Hong Qi, Li Kui etc. could call him Xiao Biaozi. Even Du Fu had to call him "Master Biao".

Wang Li didn't know what was going on outside. He just focused on performing the operation and didn't care who the injured person was.

They were busy until late at night. Zheng Yu'e and several of her personal soldiers also held candles until late at night. When the people next to her wanted to take their turn, she refused.

Until the last wounded was sent away, Ji Er said that he was dead. Before he had time to talk about Zheng Yu'e, Wang Li fell asleep on the operating table.

Everyone was startled for a while, until they heard even breathing and slight snoring, they breathed a sigh of relief. Apprentice An Daoquan whispered, "Don't make any noise, Master Uncle is asleep, find a quilt quickly."

From beginning to end, Wang Li did not see Zheng Yu'e holding the candle. Wang Li was busy performing operations, one after another. At most, he saw his nephew helping him and Hua Baoyan and Ji Er wiping their sweat. How could he have time to see who was holding the candle?

Of course, Zheng Yu'e did not blame him, but became more obsessed and covered Wang Li with a blanket. Hua Baoyan also noticed her at this time and was confused at first, wondering who was stealing her job?

Only after seeing it clearly did she recognize her. She had seen Wang Li's painting of Zheng Yu'e, and the connected eyebrows were easy to recognize. She walked over to her respectfully and bowed, "Hello, sister!"

Zheng Yu'e looked at her, nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go for a walk!"

Her voice was soft and kind, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, bringing a sense of tranquility and warmth. It was obvious that both parties knew who the other was.

The two walked side by side to the outside of the small village. The breeze in the night blew gently, bringing a touch of coolness and tranquility.

In this land that had just experienced a life-and-death struggle, the figures of the two women appeared particularly gentle under the moonlight. Their conversation echoed in the silent night, as if telling each other's stories and emotions.

Zheng Yu'e said to Hua Baoyan, "Is he always like this?"

Hua Baoyan nodded and said, "Brother Li is always like this. It seems like he has endless things to do. Only when he is painting can you see him relaxing!"

Zheng Yu'e stammered, "There must be a lot of women who like him, right?"

Hua Baoyan knew what she wanted to say, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister. He said he would only marry the two of us in the future and would not provoke anyone else!"

"Bah! Who wants to marry him? You believe what men say. What kind of cat doesn't steal fish?" Zheng Yu'e said shyly. He thought of his father who often looked for different women and retorted instinctively.

Hua Baoyan said quickly: "No, Brother Li is not that kind of person. Even the number one guild master in Tokyo... " She quickly stopped talking here. Although she hated Zhao Yuannu, she would not betray her. Hua Baoyan was still young, and Zheng Yu'e got her words out of her in no time.

Zheng Yu'e quickly asked, "What do you mean, the number one leader in Tokyo?"

Hua Baoyan shook her head to indicate that she couldn't tell anyone. Zheng Yu'e comforted her, "Don't worry, sister. We are a family, not strangers. Tell me, and I won't make things difficult for you, right?"

When Hua Baoyan heard the word "family", she told her everything about Zhao Yuannu, and even how she was saved by Wang Li. She seemed to feel that Zheng Yu'e could be trusted.

After hearing this, Zheng Yu'e was completely relieved, and she said to Hua Baoyan with concern: "Sister, you are injured, go and rest quickly, I will take care of your brother Li..."

The two returned to the hospital. Hua Baoyan also set up a bed nearby and lay down to sleep. Zheng Yu'e moved a chair and sat next to Wang Li. As she watched, she also fell asleep beside Wang Li. The personal soldiers put a quilt over her and brought in a brazier. Then they took turns to rest. It seemed that Zheng Yu'e also wanted to see her young lady lying next to Wang Li like this.

Those who didn't rest would occasionally doze off, and only Xiao Biaozi was vigilantly guarding Wang Li.

The next day, Wang Li woke up and saw a strange yet familiar woman lying beside him. He recognized her at a glance.

Without disturbing her, he gently got up and covered her with the fallen quilt. Only then did he see her face clearly. She didn't seem so ugly. He looked at her figure, which was also good, with standard long legs. Seeing her big feet that were a size 42, Wang Li felt more at ease.

He nodded with satisfaction and looked at Hua Baoyan who was lying on the other side before walking out. Zheng Yu'e's personal soldiers also saw the whole scene and were even more delighted to see Wang Li nod.

Wang Li called out Zheng Yu'e's personal soldiers for questioning, and they respectfully called him "son-in-law", which satisfied Wang Li. When he heard that Zheng Dadang had contracted pinworms and was still behind by water, he anxiously went to Xu Guanzhong to explain the matter.

At this time, the battlefield had been cleaned up and the fallen soldiers had been buried, waiting for Wang Li to come back for burial. He was a Taoist priest, and he said that day was an auspicious day. That day was...

The bodies of the officers and soldiers were also embalmed and buried, waiting for people to claim them. The soldiers of the First Division of the Cavalry and Infantry Army who participated in the battle yesterday also woke up one after another, and Wang Li walked to the parade ground and blew the assembly call.

The people of Liangshan quickly dropped everything and ran to the training ground. Such daily training had formed muscle memory. Even the wounded soldiers in the inpatient department had to struggle to get up, and only stopped when hurriedly scolded by the nursing staff.

Zheng Yu'e woke up when the bugle sounded. She asked her personal guard, and the guard told her that Wang Li had woken up. She felt shy.

After that, when she came out, she saw the people on Liangshan running quickly in one direction.

I found a soldier on guard who didn't run away and asked him what happened.

The guard obviously guessed who she was, and immediately straightened up and said, "Madam, this is the sound of the assembly call!"

"What is the assembly call?"

"Madam, the assembly call is the call for the soldiers to assemble, which is similar to the beating of drums to gather the generals, but we are officers and soldiers assembling together. We need to assemble in one cup of tea (five minutes) from the time the call is sounded."

Zheng Yu'e asked in shock: "If you are fast asleep, can you gather and finish in a cup of tea?"

The soldier on guard explained honestly: "We couldn't do it at the beginning, but we got better later."

"What if I wear armor?"

We don't have much armor at the moment, I haven't worn it, so I don't know. But I do know that it takes two cups of tea to wear armor.

Shocked Zheng Yu'e asked about some punishment regulations and was even more shocked to learn that they had been training for less than two months. She said goodbye to the guards and walked towards the parade ground. When she arrived at the parade ground, she saw the neat square formation of Liangshan soldiers and Wang Li making an impassioned speech.

"Brothers, this time we lost 427 people and 692 people were injured. Among them, 134 people were seriously injured, including our newly joined brothers from Hongtao Mountain. There were more than 6000 officers and soldiers. Except for two who escaped, we killed 2923 of the rest and captured 3601 people, including the governor of Jeju and three generals.

Since ancient times, if you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred of your own. However, our Liangshan Army, with simple equipment and a small number of people, fought against the Jeju Imperial Army, which is famous for its good fighting skills. I am very proud of this record. As the saying goes, "Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in war!" I hope you brothers will remember it!

"Long live Liangshan, long live the leader!"

Amid the shouts of the soldiers, Wang Li announced the disbandment...

Wang Li told Xu Guanzhong some more things, and then came to Zheng Yu'e, "Miss Zheng, this is not right, my wife, this is not right either."

Wang Li was confused about the titles of that era and didn't know whether to call Zheng Yu'e "sister" or "wife". This awkward situation made people around him laugh.

Zheng Yu'e said sweetly, "Call me my wife!"

Wang Li smiled foolishly and said, "Well, my lady, I have to go pick up Uncle Zheng right away. How about leaving the stronghold to you?" His current appearance was in sharp contrast to his wise and heroic appearance just now.

Zheng Yu'e was surprised and asked, "Are you going now?"

Wang Li regained his composure and nodded, saying, "Yes, uncle is suffering from pinworms. This disease cannot be delayed. Saving lives is like putting out a fire. I have to go quickly!"

"Well, we'll go with you."

"Well, the stronghold is left to you. You, Military Advisor Xu, and my brother should guard the stronghold. I will lead the others!"

"Okay, then you be careful! I'll wait for you in Liangshan." Zheng Yu'e stopped arguing and said shyly.

"Ok!"

Wang Li didn't care how Zheng Yu'e and Wang Lun introduced themselves. He dragged Du Fu over and handed him to him, then left with the medicine box on his back. Zheng Yu'e stopped him, straightened his clothes, put a cloak on him, and called Ye Conglong and two female soldiers to follow Wang Li.

It was Ruan Xiaoqi who led his men on a boat, followed by Li Jun and a naval battalion. Zheng Yu'e watched them until the boat disappeared before following Du Fu back.
