Chapter 142 Young Hero Yang Yanzhao
The topic finally shifted to the border war. Faced with the silly princess whose words and actions were unconventional, Yang Yanzhao didn't know how to respond, so his eloquence had the opportunity to show off.
He talked about how the soldiers on the front line fought bravely and how they fought desperately to achieve this victory with a smaller force and defeat the powerful enemy.
There was no glory and pride on his face of a young hero who had accomplished great deeds and returned victoriously.
Instead, when he talked about the number of casualties and their names, his face was filled with grief and solemnity!
Luo Li and Yang Yanqi also felt sad when they heard this.
The people in the rear only knew how to celebrate the victory with joy, while the court officials in the rear only argued about how much reward to give to the meritorious soldiers. Some with ill intentions opened their eyes wide and tried to find fault with everything, while some black-hearted people even peeled off layer after layer of skin from the military supplies and pay and bit off piece of meat to put into their pockets.
No one could understand the bitter cold endured by the soldiers stationed at the border all year round, and no one could imagine the tragic and heroic scenes of the soldiers fighting the enemy with blood. The names of the dead and wounded soldiers reported one by one would only make people sad and heartbroken if there were relatives among them, otherwise they would just be a string of numbers.
Luo Li looked up at Yang Yanzhao and asked, "General Yang, you said that most of the soldiers who died on the front line died from injuries?"
Yang Yanzhao nodded, "Yes! Except for the special situation of being surrounded by the enemy, when the two armies were fighting, about 60% to 70% of the soldiers who died were those who died from their injuries.
All the leading generals understood this situation, but they were powerless to do anything about it."
Luo Li thought about this era of cold weapons. It turned out that the death rate when two armies fought was far lower than the injury rate.
Simply because there was no effective anti-inflammatory drug, the death rate among soldiers from bacterial infections in their wounds was too high.
I thought about the dozen or so boxes of anti-inflammatory drugs in the space and made some calculations in my mind.
"General Yang, you and your son led the soldiers to fight bravely at the border to defend the country.
It is because of your hard work that we, the people behind you, can sleep peacefully and enjoy a wonderful life.
How about this! When you leave, I will give you a little gift, something that can save your life when you are seriously injured and cannot be cured! "
[Something that can save lives at a critical moment when a person is seriously injured and cannot be cured? Isn't that a panacea that can bring the dead back to life? ]
Yang Yanzhao was half-believing and half-doubting, but he appreciated it and bowed, thanking the Princess Qin for her kindness to the soldiers on the front line.
King Qin Zhao Defang, who was eavesdropping next door, was moved!
I immediately thought of the magical powder that the princess would give to patients after performing surgery. Uncle Ghost Hand said that the magical powder was a panacea that could bring people back to life after trauma and infection. It should be a treasure that only exists in the fairy world.
[I should have eaten this before. I didn’t develop a high fever despite such a serious injury.
My princess is a fairy who sympathizes with the people and cherishes the lives of the soldiers on the front line.
If the princess performs a magical act, how many soldiers wounded in battle will be saved by the medicine powder she takes out? 】
After eavesdropping for a long time, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin no longer felt any jealousy or sourness in his heart. Instead, he felt only warm emotion and admiration for the princess!
He knew that after this meeting, the princess would definitely not like the straightforward and boring Yang Yanzhao, and would never choose him as the next choice. There was only Kou Zhun left, and the king would be able to see him on the day of the palace examination!
Yang Yanzhao knew the identity of the Princess of Qin and no longer worried that his sister would be abducted by a playboy, but he still didn't want to keep her for dinner.
After saying goodbye and walking out of the room, I just went down to the first floor when a familiar voice whispered in my ear, "General Yang, the prince is waiting for you upstairs."
Yang Yanzhao recognized the voice as that of Yun Yi, the leader of the shadow guards beside the King of Qin.
He paused and looked around warily, but didn't find any suspicious eyes. He pretended to go to the counter downstairs to ask the shopkeeper for more wine and food. After whispering a few words with the shopkeeper who was fiddling with an abacus, he personally took a jar of wine from the shopkeeper's hand and turned around to walk upstairs.
Pushing open the door of the No. 2 private room, Yang Yanzhao saw the familiar figure and his heart was warmed!
He took a few quick steps forward and bowed, very cleverly lowering his voice a bit, with a hint of excitement in his respect: "Your Majesty!
Long time no see, Yan Zhao missed you very much."
Qin Wang Zhao Defang stood up and walked over, holding his arm affectionately, and lowered his voice, "No need to be polite! Come and sit down."
The two people spoke in a furtive manner, as if they were guilty of something, which made the shadow guards hiding in the dark make faces at each other and giggle.
The King of Qin looked at Yang Yanzhao's somewhat excited expression and smiled gently, "Have you met the princess I asked for marriage? What do you think of her?"
Yang Yanzhao was a little flustered!
Then he looked up at the King of Qin with a clear and frank gaze, and said without any guilt, "I have met you! Didn't you hear the conversation between me and the princess here with your own ears?
The princess is straightforward, intelligent, and articulate... She is definitely not a fool who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun as rumored." Yang Yanzhao paused, thinking that her articulateness was a bit sharp, so he decided not to continue praising her.
The King of Qin raised his eyebrows in a very arrogant manner, showing off a bit, and lowered his voice to be somewhat magnetic and hoarse: "How can the person I adore be a real fool?
My princess is the most beautiful woman in the world, one and only!"
[Humph! I'm telling you how much I care about the princess and how much I adore her. If you dare to have any inappropriate thoughts about her, I'll skin you alive!]
Yang Yanzhao was a little surprised! He could only smile along with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin for no apparent reason.
I pondered over it secretly in my heart!
[The prince actually loves and cherishes the princess who is known for being stupid so much?
I just spoke disrespectfully to the princess, will the prince be angry and blame me? Next time I see the princess, I must be more respectful and reverent. 】
The King of Qin asked in detail about the specific circumstances of the war and praised the bravery and decisiveness of the Yang father and son.
Yang Yanzhao humbly said in a low voice, "Your Highness, thank you for the compliment! With your intelligence support, can't my father and I be as good as gods in military planning?
With the addition of the more than 1,000 elite Fire Cloud Cavalry soldiers that you personally selected for His Royal Highness the King of Wei, the fighting power of our Yang Family's Fire Mountain Army is now far superior to what it was before!"
The King of Qin nodded and solemnly warned: "You must conceal the identities of those soldiers.
Although we are doing this for the stability of the Song Dynasty's border, if the emperor knew about this, it would be a catastrophic disaster!"
Yang Yanzhao's expression was stern!
"I will keep in mind the prince's teachings!"
Thinking of the magic medicine that the princess was going to give to the soldiers on the front line, Yang Yanzhao must not be careless and waste it. He must not let him leak the princess's secret because of his lack of attention.
The King of Qin pondered for a moment, then solemnly instructed: "What the princess wants to give you is an extremely precious healing medicine, the kind that can bring the dead back to life at a critical moment.
It is also the princess's love and compassion for the lives of the soldiers on the front line. You must cherish it and keep it secret!"
Only then did Yang Yanzhao completely believe that the elixir the princess was going to give him was truly a life-saving elixir in this critical moment when his injuries were not healed.
Although he was wondering why the princess had such a magical medicine, he did not ask where the magical medicine came from, but bowed to the man next to him in gratitude!
He turned around and looked at His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, and solemnly promised: "I will keep your instructions in mind! Yang Yanzhao would like to thank the princess for her kindness on behalf of the soldiers on the front line."
In front of Yang Yanzhao, Prince of Qin Zhao Defang asserted his sovereignty over the princess, reminded him again about the matters on the front line, and then sent him away.
After Yang Yanzhao finished his whispered conversation with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, he went out and observed his surroundings like a thief, then secretly slipped out of Hesheng Tower and returned home hungry.
After eating and drinking his fill, Yang Yanqi picked up the tea and took a sip.
He looked at Luo Li with a smile and asked, "How is it? Is my second brother, this young hero, pleasing to your eyes?"
Luo Li did not give the man’s sister, the matchmaker, any face, and shook her head to tell the truth: “The handsome young hero is indeed worthy of his reputation.
However, your second brother is a bit pedantic in his honest character, and lacks an interesting soul.
He must be a hero who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and who would fight for the Song Dynasty with his life. I don't want to suffer with such a hero and live a depressed life!
My dream lover should be handsome, smart, brave, humorous, steady, lively, and know how to enjoy the fun of life.
Having the ability to protect me, he also puts me first in his heart, pampers and cares for me, knows my mind and understands me..."
Luo Li was thinking and talking, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Yu Li next to her.
"Miss, there is no other man like you are talking about except His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin!"
Luo Li was stunned for a moment! Then she scolded Yu Li angrily: "Yu Li! What do you know, you little yellow-haired girl? Don't be a pimp for me!"
His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, who was eavesdropping next door, praised Yuli with great joy in his heart.
"Yu Li is a very good judge of character. If I have the chance, I will definitely give her a generous gift as a matchmaker."
Yu Li muttered in a low voice, unconvinced: "Miss, the good man you are talking about is His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, isn't he?"
Luo Li glared at her fiercely, and she didn't bother to lecture this patient who really had a brain disease.
Siyu also stood up for Yuli with a clear conscience, "Miss, although Yuli has no brains, she has a sharp eye. Miss, you can't find another dream lover in this world except His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin.
Miss, you should not be so greedy and look at other men in the future, lest His Royal Highness the King of Qin gets angry and you miss the best man in the world."
Luo Li was almost so angry that she had a heart attack. She really spoiled the maids around her. "Siyu! Yuli! Are you two itching for trouble? I really spoiled you!"
The young lady's angry threat made the two maids shut up obediently, but the two maids, knowing that they would not be beaten even if they were itchy, silently persuaded the young lady in their hearts.
[Well, Miss, the dream lover you mentioned is definitely not the second one in the world except His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin.]
Luo Naocang looked so angry that he was embarrassed, which made Yang Yanqi couldn't help but laugh, "Luo Naocang, it's normal that you don't like my second brother when you have the precious pearl of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin in front of you.
Oh! ... I heaved a sigh of relief. I will never dare to stick my neck out for my friend again, risking being punished by His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, and secretly pimping for you. "
After being persuaded and reminded by the two maids, Luo Li's heart was beating wildly, thinking of the handsome face of Qin Wang Zhao Defang, who was so handsome that he could bring disaster to the country and the people, and his tender care and love. It's not the two maids' fault for being so talkative. The dream lover that this lady is talking about is really carved out of the mold of Qin Wang Zhao Defang.
Luo Li, with a hot face and a beating heart, said firmly: "You don't need to pimp me. I will definitely meet my dream lover when the time is right."
