MTL - Jade Without Fragrance-Chapter 287 Worry

   Chapter 287 Worry

   In this turbulent time, this victory is very precious, and the battle report was sent to the capital quickly.

   Emperor Tai'an learned about the capture of Wu Ye's nephew, the nephew of the Northern Qi general, and also knew that Qi Shuo had given the credit for this, and was seriously injured because of it.

   This nephew really surprised him many times.

   Emperor Tai'an felt a little emotional. When he sent the news to Prince Jing's mansion, he gave him a lot of rewards. He also pointed out two imperial physicians, and two days later, he accompanied the team of carriages to the north.

   It took a lot of time to go back to the imperial physician from the battle report. Whether or not Prince Jing could use the imperial physician is one thing, but it reflects the grace of the Holy Spirit.

   Princess Jing received the news that Qi Shuo was injured, and tears came out all at once.

   Qi Huan and Qi Qiong turned pale with fright, thinking about the worst.

   "Is something wrong with the father? Or big brother?"

   Princess Jing shook her bloodless lips and squeezed out a sentence when her children were about to die: "Your elder brother is injured..."

   "Where is the eldest brother injured? Is the injury serious? How did he get injured..." Qi Qiong kept asking with tears in his eyes.

  Qi Huan slammed the table: "Just say I should go!"

   "It's just that Shuo'er was injured because she captured a major general in Northern Qi, and her injuries are not serious..." Princess Jing was so heartbroken that she wished she could give birth to wings and fly to the north.

  The atmosphere of King Jing's mansion suddenly became extremely gloomy. As for Qi Shuo's credit, it was only the icing on the cake for the mansion, how could it be more important than his safety.

   Qi Qiong went back to the boudoir to cry, wiped her tears and went to the general's house to find Ah Hao.

   This battle report, which can be called a small victory, will soon be spread everywhere in the form of a mansion report, and the general's residence will know about it by then. Rather than wait until then, it is better to tell Ah Hao earlier.

   The General's Mansion and the Prince Jing's Mansion are so close together that they don't say they meet every day, but there are times when they meet every three or two days. After listening to the message from the doorman, it was just an ordinary meeting of friends for Lin Hao, until he saw Qi Qiong's uneasy look and snow-white face.

   "What happened to the county master?"

   Qi Qiong opened his mouth, his eyes reddened before he spoke.

   Lin Hao's heart sank and held Qi Qiong's hand.

   The other party's fingertips were cold, with a slight tide, which made Lin Hao have an ominous premonition.

   "County Lord, what happened?"

   "Ah Hao—" Qi Qiong finally couldn't control his emotions, and hugged Lin Hao with both hands, "There is news from the north that my eldest brother is injured!"

  Lin Hao's complexion suddenly changed, blood rushed to her heart, making her heart beat wildly: "Ashuo is injured? How is his injury?"

   Qi Qiong had tears in his eyes and shook his head: "I don't know the details, I just said that he was seriously injured when he captured a major general in Northern Qi..."

  Lin Hao's heart that was about to jump out of his throat slowed down, and his tone was a little strange: "Capture Qi general alive? Did the battle report that came back mentioned the identity of this Qi general?"

   "It seems to be called—" Qi Qiong thought about it and said uncertainly, "It seems to be called Li Li, I don't know if I remember correctly."

   "Is he the nephew of the Northern Qi coach Wu Ye?"

   "Yes!" Qi Qiong looked at Lin Hao with doubts, "How do you know, Hao? Could it be that the General's House has received the news?"

   You can see Ah Hao's reaction just now, he doesn't seem to know that eldest brother is injured.

"A Shuo sent me a letter before, and the letter mentioned the general situation of Northern Qi." Lin Hao made an excuse at will. In fact, she inquired about it after receiving the portrait of Wu Li, so she learned about the army of Qi who was fighting against the Zhou army. Some messages from generals with heads and faces.

  Ashuo's letter did not mention the identity of the young man in the portrait, but she analyzed the information obtained, and the young man in the portrait was probably the young general named Shuli, and the words of the little princess also confirmed her guess.

   "Is that General Qi, who is called Li Li, captured?"

   "I was captured, and the royal uncle also rewarded a lot of things." Qi Qiong said this, without any joy.

   And after Lin Hao was sure that Ori was captured, his tense heartstrings loosened.

   Now that her guess has been confirmed, Ah Shuo’s next step is to return to the Northern Qi military camp as a li. In this case, it should not be true that Ah Shuo was seriously injured.

   "Don't worry too much about the princess, Ah Shuo will be fine."

   Qi Qiong nodded indiscriminately, but he was not at all relieved.

   "Although the imperial uncle assigned the imperial physician to go north with the supply team, in terms of treating trauma, the imperial physician is not necessarily more experienced than the military physician..."

   Qi Qiong is not the kind of girl who talks a lot, but she couldn't help but keep talking in front of Lin Hao, as if this would ease her worries.

   Lin Hao held Qi Qiong's hand tightly: "The county master believes me, Ah Shuo will be fine."

   Qi Qiong pursed his lips: "Ah, you... don't you think about it?"

   After knowing that the eldest brother was seriously injured, countless frightening thoughts had already turned in her mind, and she could not control it at all.

   "Probably have a good heart, and my intuition tells me that Ah Shuo will be fine. You and the princess must relax and don't make yourself ill." Lin Hao endured a hot face.

   Ah Shuo definitely didn't want his family to worry about him.

   As for why nothing was disclosed about the news that was sent back, it is also very understandable. Once this kind of confidential matter is known, the consequences would be disastrous. Naturally, the fewer people know about it, the better.

   "Really?" Qi Qiong's crying eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, "That's great."

   When she got home, she immediately told Princess Jing what Lin Hao said.

   Princess Jing listened, and her heart was relieved.

   Although it sounds bizarre to hear something like that, but who doesn't want to listen to good words at this time, people are always more willing to believe in things that are beneficial to themselves, and even deceive themselves.

   Lin Hao was restless after Qi Qiong left.

   Reason felt that this was part of Qi Shuo's plan, but he couldn't help but think about it.

  The plan can’t keep up with the changes, what if you are seriously injured?

   Even if it is a minor skin injury, what should I do if it gets worse?

  He wants to go deep into the enemy camp, what if he is discovered?

  Lin Hao thought that Qi Qiong mentioned that the imperial physician would go north with the supply team, and even had the urge to go to the north.

   In the end, this impulse was suppressed by reason, turned into a thin thread wrapped in love silk, and stitched into the insole with a stitch.

  Heavy snow was flying in the north, dripping water into ice, and the fighting between the two armies was briefly halted because of the capture of Li Li.

  Kuno sent messengers to negotiate.

   "How many of our captured soldiers are to be exchanged for his nephew?" King Jing was furious after hearing the envoy's words, "No, that kid seriously injured my son, so he can't be so cheap!"

   General Xu couldn't help but persuade: "My lord, why don't we discuss it again?"

   Don't refuse it outright, it's a change of several people, so it won't hurt.

   King Jing waved his hand: "No discussion, a few ordinary soldiers will be exchanged for his precious nephew? Stop dreaming, unless—"

   "Unless what?" the messenger asked hurriedly.

   King Jing squinted at him: "Unless you add another 500 warhorses."
