The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

"Your Majesty." Ji Wei then saluted the Li Emperor on the dragon throne. "I heard that Bei Tan was invading, so I returned overnight."

Emperor Li kept laughing and said, "I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back." Then he looked at his legs and asked, "Your legs..."

"It has been cured." Ji Wei didn't say much.

Emperor Li thought it was Doctor Zhang Xuanhu who had been treating him. After all, it had been Doctor Zhang who had been treating him for several years. He did not care and just said happily:

"Good! Since you are safe and sound, I will appoint you as the General of the Northern Expedition, give you the Tiger Seal, and immediately summon your troops from the command platform to the border to defend against the enemy!"

When Ji Wei was wearing armor and reviewing the generals on the platform, Jiang Ningning was already in the provincial capital and told Xiao Yan that Ji Wei had returned to the imperial capital.

Jiang Ningning: "Mr. Ji returned to the Imperial Capital as soon as he heard about the war. Fortunately, his leg has fully recovered. I also secretly used my healing power to cure all his hidden ailments."

Mr. Ji is truly worthy of being the protector of Dayan. He will not give up an inch of land. Even if his leg injury was not there, he would probably go back immediately when he heard about the war.

Jiang Ningning added, "Before he left, he revealed his identity to me. He said he was the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and that he wanted to die on the frontier, regardless of whether there was a war or not. It's clear that he would never come back, safe or not. I hope he's alright."

Xiao Yan could only say now: "Let's pay more attention to news from the north in the future."

Jiang Ningning nodded. She naturally didn't want Mr. Ji to die like this. If they could save him, they would definitely rush over to save him.

Jiang Ningning added, "When Mr. Ji left, I also asked him why he hadn't been guarding the border before. Logically speaking, even though he had a lame leg before, it didn't affect him that much, so he wouldn't have completely retired. He actually came to our Dengping County."

After a pause, he continued, "Mr. Ji said that he was not only lame in one leg, but both legs were broken, and he was also shot in the chest by an arrow. He was only breathing his last when he was carried out from among the many corpses on the battlefield.

Later, thanks to Dr. Zhang's dedicated treatment, not only was his life saved, but his legs were also healed and he no longer needed to use a wheelchair or crutches.

But he was only breathing his last breath at that time, and he was the only male in the Ji family. So the emperor ordered him to come back from the border and no longer let him guard the border.

Later, even though he no longer needed a cane, the emperor did not allow him to return to the frontier.

But he was unhappy with the civil servants in the capital and didn't want to see them. It happened that Doctor Zhang's hometown was in Dengping County, and he wanted to go back to Dengping County, so he also came to Dengping County.

Then he entered Honghu Academy as a martial arts teacher."

Xiao Yan finally understood why his master had not been stationed at the border before, but was in Dengping County.

……

Ji Weidu went to the battlefield, and Zhang Xuanhu also closed the door of his clinic and went to the battlefield.

Before leaving for the battlefield, Zhang Xuanhu handed Jiang Ningning a few medical books and said to Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan:

“I didn’t plan to come back either. I was originally a military doctor, and too many people died in every battle. I couldn’t save them all before.

Even if you use both hands, can prescribe medicine, or even do two things at once, it will be useless. You really can't save so many people.

Besides, I am already this old now. If I can still do my best for Da Yan, I will die without regrets."

Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan didn't know what to say, they just bowed to Doctor Zhang very solemnly: "Doctor Zhang, you are so righteous."

Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan naturally sent two guards to follow Doctor Zhang and protect him.

When they arrived at the military camp, one of them followed Ji Wei and protected him.

And if Ji Wei, Doctor Zhang and others had any life-threatening matters, he would come back quickly and tell them.

Ji Wei originally did not allow outsiders to enter the military camp, but Doctor Zhang was naturally different. He was a military doctor and they had always been partners.

But seeing that the people were sent by Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan, and Doctor Zhang also said that Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan were very filial and were afraid that something might happen to their master, Ji Wei kept the two guards.

Little did they know that Beitan Kingdom had indeed produced a talented general. In addition, Ji Wei had been away from the military camp for nearly ten years, so there were many cowards in the camp, and even traitors. Even if Ji Wei fought to the death, he could not repel the Beitan army and recapture the city.

Even on this day, Ji Wei was ambushed.

Forced into a deserted town.

The dry food they brought with them had been eaten up, and the small town was surrounded by the Beitan army, with no way in or out. The number of people on both sides was huge, and they only had 2,000 soldiers...

The soldiers were all in despair...

Ji Wei was not the kind of person who would just stand there and wait for death, and seeing this situation, he suddenly remembered that when he was teaching his apprentice Xiao Yan the art of war, Xiao Yan drew inferences from one example and believed that 'a besieged city must have a gap'.

I think that if you want to besiege a city, you have to leave an exit so that the enemy won't have to fight to the death and become more brave than before, which will make it easier to defeat the enemy.

Now the Beitan army has surrounded them, leaving them no exit. If they fight to the death, won't they have a chance of survival?

Thinking of this, Ji Wei immediately shouted: "Soldiers, if we wait here, we will die too. Why not fight our way out? If we can't survive, we will die!"

The soldiers naturally responded immediately: "We will obey the general. If we cannot survive, we will die! If we cannot survive, we will die!"

Sure enough, the city gate was opened and everyone rushed out.

As expected, everyone is braver than before.

After all, everyone believes that they are going to die, so killing one is a gain.

This made the Beitan army somewhat discouraged, and they kept giving way and retreating.

The two thousand soldiers led by Ji Wei indeed broke out of the encirclement, and later met the Ji family army coming to rescue from the base camp. The Beitan army was afraid of being lost, so naturally they did not dare to chase them.

But in the end, all of them were injured, and their injuries were serious.

The Ji family army sent Ji Wei and these soldiers back to the base camp, and Zhang Xuanhu quickly treated them.

Seeing that Ji Wei was hit by arrows again, and several times, and even had a deep cut on his back, bleeding continuously, Zhang Xuanhu was naturally shocked and hurriedly pulled out the arrows to stop the bleeding.

Ji Wei asked Zhang Xuanhu to treat Cai Laosan first.

Cai Laosan is the bodyguard that Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan placed next to Ji Wei to protect him.

Because he was following Ji Wei, he was also surrounded in the small town, so naturally he couldn't rush back to report the news to Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan.

But he knew his mission as he fought his way out. He blocked many arrows for Ji Wei and was even pierced through the shoulder blade by a spear. He was bleeding profusely and his life was in danger.

Cai Laosan, however, was hanging on to his last breath and refused to let Zhang Xuanhu save him first, but instead asked him to save the great general Ji Wei first.

"Don't push it away! I'll save you all!" Zhang Xuanhu shouted angrily. He held two ginseng slices in each hand and stuffed them into Ji Wei and Cai Laosan's mouths, trying to keep them alive.

Ji Wei was still able to stay conscious. He noticed that the guard who was protecting Zhang Xuanhu was not there, so he asked, "Why is Zhuo Laoqi not here?"
