Chapter 171: New Enemies 2 (2/2)

”NO!” They all exclaimed in unison.

”There is no need for that!”

”We are okay with it!”

”Yes, no need, no need!”

”General is the best!”

”General Li is truly a jade general blessed by the gods themselves. I am struck speechless by his poise and grace!”

Lu Yaozhu rolled his eyes as he heard their nonsense. ”This is about to get out of hand, please leave. Your flattery has me wanting to jump into the ice water lake”.

”oh... Please don't!”

”Yes, think of sister in law even if you don't think of us”

”Yes General shouldn't think like that, you are so kind. If you do this, who knows how the next General his majesty sends will be”

Lu Yaozhu didn't reply. Instead, he shook his head, pulled the reins of his horse and quickly rode away.

THE MEDICAL TENT, THE MILITARY CAMP OF NORTHERN WEI.

The tent was very active with the military doctors and their helpers running around the room.

Quickly! Carry him into the room!” Su Liya instructed as two soldiers carried their injured teammate in a wooden stretcher. They each held month ends of the stretcher as they walked into the camp. The injured soldier was heavily injured, he hissed as the stretched shook. Blood dripped from his open wound leaving a long trail of blood from the war front to the camp.

Su Liya was seated in front of the medical tent, quietly taking in some early morning Sun when the soldiers began to come in with the injured soldiers. She stood as soon as the two men came into her sight just outside the gate. She ran her hand through her thigh, straightening the stained apron tight around her.

Su Liya traded in her delicate soft silk long gowns and skirts for more work-friendly clothes. The right leg of the soldier on the makeshift stretcher was bent in an awkward direction. Su Liya immediately sent them into the tent to the doctor's station.
