Chapter 472: Continue to defend, or switch from defense to offense?
Shang Ruyi's expression changed, and he immediately stuffed the packet of medicine back into Tu Sheer's hand, waved her hand to step aside, then reached into Yu Wenye's arms, and gently took out something thing.
It was the sachet that Yu Wenzui gave him.
Shang Ruyi took a deep breath, then untied the knot and looked inside -
It was empty inside!
Shang Ruyi was startled. He reached out and touched it twice more in disbelief. Indeed, there was nothing.
For a moment, she was a little confused. The sachet given to her by Yuwen Sui contained medicinal materials that could prevent the plague, but there was nothing in the sachet given to Yuwen Ye.
What does this mean?
Did he——
Just when her mind was in confusion, and she didn’t even know where to start to sort out these doubts, Tusheer’s words rang in her ears. Her voice was heard as she said cautiously: "Miss, there seems to be a hole underneath this sachet."
"Huh?"
Shang Ruyi was stunned and hurriedly turned the sachet over to take a look.
Sure enough, the seam at the bottom of the sachet was cracked, and the hole was quite small.
She was a little stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, she understood it - Yu Wenye always carried this sachet close to him, even when he went to the battlefield, and he never left it when he came to Fufeng. After many battles, almost life and death battles, it is not surprising that the sachet will be worn and broken.
Just——
She frowned and looked at the empty sachet, feeling even more confused.
Are there any medicines in this sachet?
If he didn't put it, doesn't it mean that Yuwen Sui knew in advance that they might encounter this serious disease when they came to Fufeng, but he only put the anti-plague medicine in his own sachet? !
Could it be that Yuwen was guilty of her——
Just thinking about it, Shang Ruyi immediately shook his head and shook the ridiculous thought out of his head.
impossible!
You must know that when she regretted her marriage and remarried, it not only embarrassed her in the Yuwen family, but also damaged the reputation of the prince of Shengguo. Yuwen Sui himself also said that in the eyes of the world, she was Shang Ruyi betrayed him.
In this case, how could he have extra emotions to treat himself well?
That is absolutely impossible!
So, he probably knew what Yu Wenye would go through in Fufeng, so he prepared these two medicine bags in advance, and the one he gave himself was just a convenience.
But——
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but think, if the medicinal materials that can prevent the plague were really put in, how could Yu Wenye contract the plague so easily, and even become seriously ill like this?
Just when her mind was in a mess, there was another soft knock on the door, and an old and weak voice came: "Madam."
As soon as he heard the voice, Shang Ruyi hurriedly stood up and greeted him personally.
The person standing at the door was none other than He Wenzhu, an old doctor who had been treating Yu Wenye before. Later, he was injured and comatose due to the fire, and could not wake up for several days. I saw him leaning on crutches, standing tremblingly at the door. When he saw Shang Ruyi, he immediately said: "Meet the general's wife."
Seeing him, Shang Ruyi felt happy.
Ever since they were rescued from the fire that day, He Wenzhu suffered the most serious injuries because of his age and has been unconscious. Shang Ruyi was busy dealing with the battle of Xue Xian, so he could only let Yin Changyue and the others leave him behind. He was recuperating in the government office, and someone was sent to take care of him. He originally thought that he would wait until the incident was over, and then find a chance to visit him, but he didn't expect that he could already get up.
Shang Ruyi hurriedly welcomed him in and asked: "Old sir, are you feeling better?"
Then He Wenzhu coughed twice, his voice still a little hoarse. But he was in good spirits and said with a smile: "These few days On that day, the old man was in bed to recuperate and has improved a lot. Today he is able to get out of bed. I came here specifically to thank my wife for saving my life that day."
Shang Ruyi's face heated up and he said hurriedly: " Strong words.”
In fact, if it weren't for them, He Wenzhu would not have suffered such a misfortune. He would have suffered such a crime at such an old age and almost lost his life.
He Wenzhu asked again: "How is the general's condition now? I still want to take a look."
Shang Ruyi said: "Okay, please."
Said After that, she led He Wenzhu into the inner room. Then He Wenzhu walked to the bed and first After looking at Yu Wenye's face, listening to his breathing, and checking his pulse, he turned to Shang Ruyi with a smile and said, "The general's pulse has calmed down a lot. He is indeed feeling well."
Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "That's good."
Then He Wenzhu stood up again, looked at Shang Ruyi, with a look of admiration on his face, and said: "I have also heard about Madam's heroic feat in resisting Xue Xian's army these past two days; I heard that Madam also reported it in advance I sent someone to prepare the medicine the general needs. "Madam, you are truly an extraordinary person."
Extraordinary person...
These four words made Shang Ruyi feel even heavier. Some.
She is not an extraordinary person, nor does she have extraordinary abilities. Otherwise, she would not have allowed others to calculate their every move and set up life and death hurdles, almost killing Yu Wenye.
And she can only deal with it and make up for it afterwards.
But at this time, she thought of something, so she said to He Wenzhu: "Old sir, I have something to ask you."
"I dare not ask you, madam, please tell me."
"If you wear a sachet to prevent plague - the one with the Can a sachet filled with herbs such as Peilan, Patchouli and Asarum completely prevent a person from contracting the plague? "
He Wenzhu thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No." Shang Ruyi opened his eyes. Big eyes: "Why?"
He Wenzhu smiled lightly and said: "There are generally two ways for ordinary people to contract serious diseases, the mouth and the nose."
As he spoke, he pointed to his mouth and nose, and then said: "That is, What you eat and drink, and what you absorb may be the source of bad diseases."
"..."
“Made sachets made of Peilin, Patchouli, Asarum and other substances may prevent people from inhaling air that carries serious diseases during vomiting, but if people drink water or eat food, they may contain harmful substances. If there is a serious disease, the medicine bag will be completely useless.”
“…”
Shang Ruyi was silent for a long time and murmured: "So, that's it."
She had guessed before that Yu Wenye's illness was caused by drinking the water from the Xiaolin River that was polluted by Jingguan. Plague, since it is drinking water, the sachet will not work.
That is to say, the sachet that Yu Wenzhen gave to Yu Wenye may also contain those medicinal materials. He did not treat himself specially.
Thinking about it, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at her expression of solemnity and relaxation at the same time, He Wenzhu didn't know why, so he only said carefully: "Why does Madam ask this?"
Shang Ruyi shook his head: "It's okay."
He Wenzhu was well-informed and seemed to be able to sense that there seemed to be many undercurrents hidden in the deep eyes of the general's wife, but since she didn't want to say it, As a civilian, he naturally couldn't ask any more questions and just nodded.
The two chatted for a while. After all, He Wenzhu was old and had just recovered. After talking for a while, he inevitably became weak. Seeing this, Shang Ruyi asked Tu Sheer to send him back to rest.
Not long after they left, Wuxue prepared some medicine and delivered it.
Shang Ruyi carefully fed Yu Wenye to drink, and was wiping the remaining concoction from his mouth when Dai Junliang and Yin Changyue came to see him.
Shang Ruyi welcomed them in.
After the two of them entered the house, they walked carefully to the inner room and looked at Yu Wenye. They knew that He Wenzhu had just come to check his pulse and said that there was no serious problem. Both of them were greatly surprised. Heaving a sigh of relief, Yin Changyue was even more overjoyed and said: "The general is about to recover, and this battle is a victory. It is a double happiness for us in Fufeng."
Shang Ruyi looked at him: "This battle is a great victory?"
Seeing her somewhat surprised look, Yin Changyue immediately smiled and said: "Madam, of course it is a great victory. We don't dare to deceive Madam."
Shang Ruyi hurriedly shook his head. Said: "I don't think you are deceiving. I only know that in yesterday's battle, we managed to hold the city gate, but - I don't dare to hope for a great victory."
At this time, even Dai Junliang laughed so much that his eyes rolled up and he said: "Madam ordered us to clean the battlefield yesterday, but because the battlefield was so big, we had to clean it for a whole day before we got the results."
Shang Ruyi looked at him: "If "What?"
Dai Junliang said: "Yesterday, we killed more than 80,000 enemies!"
"...!"
Shang Ruyi was surprised when he heard this. Eyes widened: "Really?"
Dai Junliang smiled and said: "Madam, this is the battle report that was just collected. We verified it again and again before we dared to report it to Madam. In a moment, we will also send it to Daxing with this number and report it to the court."
Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "This is great. ! "
Just now, when Yu Wenxin came to say goodbye to her, he told her that at least 80,000 Longxi Army troops were wiped out in yesterday's battle. She couldn't believe it. Besides, the figures for clearing the battlefield were not available. When she reported it, she thought Yu Wenzu was just saying it casually.
Unexpectedly, there were actually 80,000 people!
When they fought yesterday, they even avenged Xue Xian's previous killing of 80,000 Fufeng soldiers!
Dai Junliang continued: "This is only the number of enemies that were annihilated. In addition, we captured more than 4,000 people in Longxi, and some people who fell into the river could not be recovered. It is estimated that in yesterday's battle, Xue Xian's troops lost soldiers General, about one hundred thousand!”
“…”
“This is definitely a fatal blow to him!”
“…”
“Now, we only have A question——"
Having said this, Dai Junliang's joyful expression subsided slightly, and he said seriously: "What should we do next?"
The other party has suffered heavy losses and must be demoralized, so what should they do now? ? Should we continue to defend the city, or take the initiative?
When they thought of this, the three of them fell silent.
You must know that yesterday's victory was based on the response method based on the sixteen-word military order given by Yu Wenye before he fell ill. But now, the situation has changed, but what should they do? But it seems that it suddenly lost its backbone.
Should we continue to defend, or should we switch from defense to offense?
Just when the three people were silent and there was a dull atmosphere in the room, a very light and weak voice, but full of perseverance in the bones, suddenly sounded——
" Of course, take the initiative.”
