Chapter 95: Welcome to Ningzhuo 3 (2/2)

”How are you still seating up, this looks very painful. How did you fight with all that pain” she looked up and was surprised to see his lips tug up. ”Are you smiling, at a time like this!”

”Why can't I laugh, you keep forgetting what I do for a living. You have a full view of my upper body, surely you have noticed all my scars. What injury haven't I experienced on the battlefield, I have a high pain tolerance” he seemed to be in high spirits as he said that.

'What a weirdo' she thought as she dropped the clothes back in the water after cleaning around the wound and poured a little alcohol on another clean white cloth while muttering some swear words followed by ”The Emperor is an asshole, even with his sacrifices the foolish emperor send him down here to die”.

There was a tick smell of strong alcohol as she opened the jar and poured the liquid spirits on the clean cloth. She soaked the clothes with some alcohol and paused for a few seconds, ” brace yourself, this could hurt ... a lot”. She glanced at him when she said that to get his response. He nodded and shut his eyes, expectantly.

Even with her warning and his preparation, he hissed as she placed the cloth on his wound, ”sorry, bear with it”. She disinfected the open wound as soon as she could and pure some medicine on it before wrapping long rolls of bandage around the wound.

She glance briefly at the cut on his thigh and then gazed up at him as of to ask 'should I help you clean that'. Lu Yaozhu understood her actions but wanted to tease her and said ”what is wrong wife, want me to remove my trousers too. I guess you are out to give this general a good look down. Want to check if you got a good deal?”

Su Liya”s cheek heated up at his words, she stepped back and looked down at her foot cautiously. ”No no, I will leave that to Yu Tao” she placed the white cloth aside and stood straight, while Lu Yaozhu chuckled.

She wanted to run out of there out of embarrassment but a sound of horse hops made her stop. She placed at Lu Yaozhu and asked ”are we expecting any guests?”

Lu Yaozhu's expression got colder, ”no”

Su Liya glanced at the entrance of the tent ”it can't be that the bandits called some reinforcement before they died?”

”I doubt it but one can not be so sure”, He picked up the clean shirt placed on the bed by Yu Tai and pulled it on. Then picked up his sword next to the bed and walked to her. He limped a little as he favoured his injured left leg. He pulled her to stand behind him when a shadow appeared at the entrance to the tent.
