Last night, the military doctors took turns to rest for a while, but Xu Zhao was the only one who was busy from evening to morning. His only rest was probably to stop and drink some water.

After Shen Yu learned about it, she went to the healing tent and pulled Xu Zhao back to her tent.

Xu Zhao was inexplicably pulled out of the tent by Shen Yu. She was completely bewildered and shouted, "Let me go!"

Shen Yu kept a cold face and didn't say a word the whole time.

Along the way, patrolling soldiers saw the two men arguing on the road and stretched their necks to look.

Xu Zhao felt the gazes coming from all directions and had to shut his mouth.

Shen Yu said coldly: "Is there nothing to do?"

His voice was powerful and carried an unquestionable tone.

In an instant, all the soldiers who had been sticking their heads out retracted their heads and looked away.

Anyone could see that the prince was very angry at the moment, and they couldn't let themselves be affected by the prince's anger by reading gossip.

Back at the tent, Shen Yu angrily said, "I know you have a kind heart, but you also have to take care of your health!"

Suddenly Shen Yu yelled at him and he was a little confused. "You are so fierce," Xu Zhao said feeling a little aggrieved.

Shen Yu was stunned, and his anger suddenly subsided. It was his first time to get along with a girl. He was used to getting along with the soldiers in the barracks on weekdays, and accidentally mistook Xu Zhao for one of his own soldiers, so his tone was a little harsh.

"I'm sorry, I..."

Shen Yu was a little at a loss.

"Forgive you."

Xu Zhao was not actually angry, he just felt that Shen Yu's words were a bit harsh.

"I know my own body."

She had experienced a similar situation when she participated in a variety show before. She worked in the company during the day and stayed up late at night to cooperate with the program crew in filming.

All I can say is that I am still young and my body can endure it.

"No matter what, you should rest now!"

Xu Zhao was pressed on the bed by Shen Yu. He turned around and left, lowering the door curtain for Xu Zhao.

The cloth used to make the tent is very light-proof. When the door curtain is lowered, the tent instantly becomes as dark as night.

Perhaps it was because I no longer had anything on my mind and my nerves were no longer tense, so I lay down on the bed and fell asleep in a short while.

When she woke up again, the tent was still in darkness and she had no idea what time it was.

Xu Zhao stretched, yawned, and got up from the bed.

She pulled open the door curtain and found that it was already dark outside. Braziers had been lit in the military camp, illuminating the entire camp.

Xu Zhao first went to Shen Yu's tent, but when he didn't see him, he walked around.

We first went to the military medical camp. Many military doctors were still busy, but there were no seriously injured soldiers at this time. There were some wounded soldiers who were having their dressings changed.

Many of the wounded were injured in the chest and back. There were only men in the tent, and they didn't think much of it. In order to make it easier to change the dressings, they took off their shirts and exposed their arms.

The soldiers trained a lot on a daily basis. Xu Zhao took a look inside and saw that all of them had abdominal muscles.

For some reason, Xu Zhao suddenly felt that Shen Yu must also have abdominal muscles.

In ancient times, men and women were strictly separated. Xu Zhao was afraid of being misunderstood, so he left when he saw that Shen Yu was not inside.

As Xu Zhao was walking, he heard a noise outside the military camp, so he walked out.

There were many soldiers standing outside the military camp. Xu Zhao saw Shen Yu standing at the front at a glance. Behind him stood many neatly dressed soldiers. Each of them held a black bowl filled with an unknown liquid. Xu Zhao guessed that it should be wine.

There was a great commotion outside the door. In front of Shen Yu was an altar. He held up a bowl of wine and said, "A toast to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for their country!"

He drank the liquid in the bowl in one gulp, and everyone behind him shouted in unison, "Respect the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country!" The voice was majestic and deafening.

Everyone drank it all in one gulp.

Xu Zhao didn't expect that they would collectively pay tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives after the war. Seeing this, her heart felt warm.

Shen Yu was still presiding over this "sacrifice" outside the tent.

Xu Zhao quietly walked a few steps into the military camp, not disturbing Shen Yu outside the tent.

As soon as I turned around, I saw a man wearing the uniform of the Moon Kingdom army hiding in a corner. He looked young, probably only fifteen or sixteen years old.

I didn't expect that he would join the army at such a young age.

Xu Zhao walked towards him. Seeing this, the little boy shrank back as if he had made a mistake, thinking that Xu Zhao would not be able to see him.

Unfortunately, everything is in vain.

Xu Zhao walked up to him a moment later and asked curiously, "Why don't you go with them to pay tribute to the soldiers? Instead, you're watching from here?"

There are many soldiers outside the military camp, but definitely not all of them.

Looking around, this was the only one peeking.

"I..." The little boy mumbled for a long time but couldn't make out what he was saying. Instead, he took two steps back out of fear.

Xu Zhao was not in a hurry and asked patiently, "What's your name? My name is Xu Zhao, you can call me Sister Xu."

The best way to bring two people closer together is to exchange names first and then become friends.

Perhaps because she saw Xu Zhao was very kind, she spoke boldly, "Sister Xu, my name is Zhao Dabao, and everyone in my family calls me Dabao."

"Dabao, then you must be the treasure of the family."

"Yes," Zhao Dabao nodded timidly. "I'm the only child in my family. A year ago, the late emperor passed away, and the prince returned to the imperial city to observe mourning. Then, a group of thieves from the Mobei Kingdom took the opportunity to sneak into the city. My parents were ruthlessly harmed by them. Later, the prince took pity on my parents' early death and took me in. Seeing my young age, he agreed not to go to the battlefield."

As he spoke, Zhao Dabao seemed to open up and described the situation of his family clearly.

"What a poor child," Xu Zhao patted Zhao Dabao's head. "The prince is a very kind person. If you don't want to stay in the barracks when you grow up, you can talk to him. I think he will definitely arrange your future life."

The scene outside the military camp is still vivid in my mind. I wonder which country's prince would lead a group of soldiers to pay tribute to the dead souls. On the battlefield, swords are merciless. Which superior would care whether the souls of those who died on the battlefield can rest in peace?

Plus the time I've been spending with Shen Yu these days.

Xu Zhao did not think that he was a cold prince. He was flesh and blood, and he valued the soldiers on the border and the people in the city.

I think Zhao Dabao’s experience must have been very painful for him.

The flame in the brazier swayed in the breeze, shining on Xu Zhao's face.

"Sister Xu, I want revenge. I want to avenge my parents and the generals who were killed by the Mobei Kingdom!"

"Good ambition, then you should practice martial arts well and exercise well." Xu Zhao saw that Zhao Dabao had thin arms and legs, and he thought that he would have difficulty even lifting the spear used in the battlefield.

Zhao Dabao lowered his eyes, drooped his lips, and whispered, "Sister, I'm afraid..."
