The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 367 General Qi

"Is he often absent?"

"Yeah!" the soldier sighed.

"We were short of food before, and everyone had nothing to eat, so Military Advisor Xiao tried his best to get us food.

They robbed the barbarians of their food, dug up sweet potatoes from the mountains, and later went hunting and peeling tree bark from the mountains... In short, they tried every trick they could think of.

Besides that, we have to keep an eye on the barbarians' movements and guard against their attacks."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Ye Xinran sighed.

The soldier quickly said, "Being a soldier is what we should do. It's not hard at all.

As for the hardship, it was worse before Military Advisor Xiao came. At that time, the barbarians often came to test us. In order to prevent them from rushing through the Xixia Mountains, we were really on guard day and night and lived in fear.

Later, Military Advisor Xiao came to us and led us to win several battles, defeating the barbarians so badly that they retreated several miles away. Only then did we calm down a little.

It feels so good to win a battle!

If we hadn’t run out of food, we could have chased them all the way to Snow Moon City.”

"Because there is no food left, we have no choice but to retreat?"

Ye Xinran felt a little regretful.

"Yeah!" The soldier also lamented, "Without food, how can we attack the city without the strength? I was really angry at that time. If there was enough food, maybe we would have won by now!"

Seeing his indignant look, Ye Xinran could imagine how angry and desperate they were at that time.

The people on the front line are risking their lives, but the people behind are adding insult to injury to their own family.

The Third Prince’s faction deserves to die!

"Don't be angry. With your military advisor Xiao here, we will conquer Xueyue City sooner or later."

"That's true!"

The soldier scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Thank you for sending us food, Madam. Before you came, we had been eating boiled tree bark for five days. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't survive until next spring!"

"It's all thanks to King Rui!" Ye Xinran said modestly.

"I'm just a doctor, I don't have that much ability!"

"Madam actually knows medical skills?"

The soldier showed a look of surprise.

"Then Madam, can you treat my general?"

"What happened to your general?"

Speaking of this, the soldier became sad: "My general was shot by a poisonous arrow a few months ago, and the wound has not recovered yet.

We gave him all the herbs we could find, but the general's health never improved!

Yesterday the general said that when Military Advisor Xiao returns, he will let him take his place."

"Don't you have a doctor here?"

Ye Xinran asked.

"Yes! We have a doctor here!" the soldier said, "But Doctor Sui was giving the general poison to treat his injuries, and he accidentally sucked the poison into his stomach. A month ago, he... died."

"Such a powerful poison!"

Ye Xinran exclaimed.

"Damn barbarians, their methods are so vicious!"

The soldier said this with gritted teeth.

"Then take me to see it." Hearing that there was a patient, Ye Xinran couldn't sit still again.

When the soldier heard Ye Xinran say that she wanted to treat the general, he no longer remained reserved and immediately led Ye Xinran out of the tent.

Outside the tent, everyone was busy counting and storing the grain.

Xiao Huaian was commanding the soldiers brought by King Rui to provide a place for them and their horses to rest.

Turning back, he saw Ye Xinran coming out of the tent. He immediately came over to her and said, "Why did you come out? It's warmer inside."

"It has holes and is leaking air. How is it different from the outside?" Ye Xinran said, "Where is your general? I want to go and take a look."

Hearing Ye Xinran's words, Xiao Huaian immediately looked at the soldier he had arranged. The soldier hurriedly explained: "Madam said she knows medical skills, so I said the general was sick."

Xiao Huaian had issued a death order regarding General Qi's illness, and no one was allowed to spread the news.

So when he found out that his subordinates had told the news to others, his first reaction was anger.

The soldier looked at his expression and quickly begged for mercy: "I know I was wrong, I will accept the punishment tonight!"

Ye Xinran had a good impression of this soldier. Upon hearing this, she glared at Xiao Huaian and said, "Why, you can't even tell me? He knew I was your wife, so he told me."

Xiao Huaian was afraid that Ye Xinran would be angry, so he quickly said, "Others can't say it, but you can. Even if he doesn't say it, I will ask for the wife later.

Madam, please."

He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Ye Xinran continued to walk forward with him.

"Can't you even find a doctor here?" she asked as she walked.

Xiao Huaian was somewhat helpless: "The nearest city is more than seventy miles away from here.

After the Sui doctor died, General Qi was afraid that it would harm others again, so he refused to let anyone go to the city to find a doctor for treatment.

Moreover, food is in short supply and people are in panic everywhere. If the barbarians knew that the general was poisoned, they would probably lead their troops to attack directly.

Fortunately, I learned a lot about medicinal herbs from you before, and the herbs I found can still be maintained.

So General Qi strictly forbade anyone to tell this matter."

After hearing this, Ye Xinran finally understood why the doctor died but General Qi survived. It seemed that the herbs Xiao Huaian found took effect.
