Chapter 843 Hopeless City (111)
The weather at the border is so cold that it can chill your bones.
Mai Ding fell ill on the first night he came here. He lay on the bed unable to move. He was covered with three thick quilts and his attendants were heating hot water to keep him warm. Even so, Mai Ding was still shaking violently. , the whole face was abnormally white, the lips were chapped, and he was lethargic.
The medic knew it after just one look.
"He has a fever and needs to take a good rest."
When Mai Ding heard this in a daze, he forced himself to speak, his voice hoarse and unpleasant.
"I want to... return to the imperial capital and resume my life."
"If you go back like this, you may not be able to survive in the imperial capital. I'll cook some medicine for you. After drinking it, you can have a good night's rest."
The military doctor left the tent, and Madin was lying on the bed. His heavy eyelids were constantly fighting, and he struggled to speak.
"Where is the general?"
"I'm training troops outside. I heard from other people in the military camp that it's not peaceful outside right now. It's likely that many evil beasts will come around later."
When Mai Ding heard this, he finally opened his eyes, in disbelief.
"What now?"
The attendant shook his head.
"Seeing that everyone's expressions are very dull, it should be normal. The general must have made up his mind. You have a good rest, and I will go out to take a look later."
Mai Ding sighed deeply, thinking back on everything that had happened from yesterday to now. He thought that it would only take one sentence, but he did not expect that it would turn into this situation.
The weather at the border was a hundred times worse than he imagined.
Admiral Zhou Ye's temper was also beyond his expectation. There was no trace of anything related to women. He was arbitrary and authoritative in doing things, and he was domineering. At first glance, he seemed to be a stubborn person who didn't listen to the opinions of others.
It is difficult for a woman with such a personality to marry in the city. Even if she does get married, she will inevitably be disciplined by her husband's family. No matter how many thorns a woman has, she will be polished smooth and rounded by the trivial things in daily life.
But Zhou Ye was different.
There is something unique about her that other women don’t have. She is strong and resolute enough. Although it is a bit shameful to think so, Mai Ding has to admit that she can live in such a harsh and difficult environment for eight years, let alone a woman. It is difficult for a strong and strong man to do this. Zhou Ye was able to conquer half of Longka's country by himself, and he was able to come to this barren and desolate land to guard the border during the heyday of his glory.
Who can have such perseverance and character?
Mai Ding was the middle-of-the-road person in that discussion. He didn't know whether Zhou Ye was ambitious, and he didn't want to know.
He always protects himself wisely and doesn't care what the female admiral on the border wants to do as long as it doesn't involve his own interests.
But now, he is in it himself.
He put himself in his shoes and felt everything here.
Recalling the warm environment of the imperial capital, the luxurious palaces, and the stable life of the people who stayed open at night, he could no longer stay away from the matter.
All of this was unimaginable more than ten years ago.
And what about Zhou Ye, who created these lives for them, and the brothers under her who were going through life and death?
He saw the food last night.
Each person has a rice box, and the box contains rice and vegetables that are as frozen as ice cubes. They are heated and eaten in a hurry with hot water.
The same goes for the living conditions of soldiers.
Even the most ordinary families in the city are hundreds of times better off than them.
Why would she give up all her glory and wealth to come here?
For rebellion?
Mai Ding would still believe it if he hadn't cut it here.
After seeing it, he became suspicious.
Everything in front of him had to make him suspicious.
