GBP Chapter 138 Opportunity
Chapter 138 Opportunity
The Kingdom of Xiti launched a surprise attack under the cover of night.
Although it caught them off guard, Qin Xuanyu had been on guard against this move, so many soldiers in the camp reacted quickly.
Jiang Qingyue stood at the rear, looking at the entrance of the camp. Flames soared into the sky, shouts of battle were deafening, and the clash of weapons made Jiang Qingyue face the cruelty of war for the first time.
As each figure fell, and drops of blood splattered, the scene was utterly shocking.
Jiang Qingyue disregarded everything else and quickly ran to the front to begin receiving the wounded soldiers.
While the battle raged on the front lines, Jiang Qingyue was desperately trying to save lives in the rear; everyone was racing against death.
At this point, Dr. Lin could not remain uninvolved and also joined in the treatment of the wounded.
The battle continued until dawn, when the sounds gradually subsided.
As dawn broke in the east, the sounds finally ceased, and all was quiet except for the sounds of people cleaning up the battlefield.
Jiang Qingyue wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, stretched her body which was tired and stiff from constantly saving people, and saw the sincere eyes of those people who were grateful. For some reason, Jiang Qingyue felt an unusual sense of satisfaction.
Yes, if they hadn't fought bravely against the enemy, how could the people have lived in peace and the emperor have sat comfortably on the dragon throne?
However, even so, the emperor disregarded the lives of soldiers and civilians for his own selfish desires, which is truly chilling.
After settling all the wounded soldiers, Jiang Qingyue lifted the tent flap and discovered that Qin Xuanyu was standing in front of it.
His armor was stained red with blood, and one of his shoulder sleeves had been torn in half, hanging loosely on Qin Xuanyu's arm.
This disheveled yet resolute Qin Xuanyu made it impossible to tell whether he was his own or the enemy's. His face was also covered in blood.
Seeing Qin Xuanyu like this, Jiang Qingyue felt a surge of anxiety and quickly went over to check on him with a worried expression, "Are you alright?"
Jiang Qingyue pulled Qin Xuanyu's hand away and looked him up and down, afraid of missing anything.
Qin Xuanyu replied indifferently, "It's nothing."
Jiang Qingyue immediately realized what was happening and turned her head to see Doctor Lin and the soldiers looking at her with puzzled expressions, especially Doctor Lin, whose expression had a somewhat meaningful look on his face.
"Ah, I wanted to check if Your Highness was injured. The initial examination showed nothing wrong, just some minor superficial wounds. He just needs to take care of himself."
Jiang Qingyue quickly explained, and then kept her distance from Qin Xuanyu.
After Qin Xuanyu left, Doctor Lin stepped forward, looking as if he had seen right through Jiang Qingyue.
In his eyes, Jiang Qingyue was playing hard to get; she claimed to be there to help treat the soldiers, but her real intentions were not what they seemed!
Hmph, a woman like that has no right to compete with me.
Thinking of this, Dr. Lin became even more arrogant.
"Doctor Lin." Qin Xuanyu's icy voice interrupted Doctor Lin's thoughts, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
"There is another group of people trapped. Several soldiers are too badly wounded to move. You will come with me to rescue them."
To be honest, Dr. Lin was very happy to hear such an order, which meant that Qin Xuanyu trusted him and was therefore giving him an important position. However, he did not want to accept it.
Because Qin Xuanyu's absence was a rare opportunity for him, if he left with Qin Xuanyu, then all his efforts over the past few days would be in vain.
Therefore, he hesitated. He wanted to suggest that he stay and let Jiang Qingyue go, but he also knew that if he took the initiative to suggest it, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
Therefore, although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to agree.
Therefore, just as he was about to agree to Qin Xuanyu's request, Jiang Qingyue stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, why don't you let me go?"
Dr. Lin wholeheartedly agreed in his heart. This woman really loved to show off, but he also had to thank her!
"You can't do it!" Qin Xuanyu refused without even thinking.
After saying that, he realized that his reaction might have been a bit too much, and continued to explain, "You are a woman, and you have been traveling a long way. Am I supposed to rush to rescue people, or do I have to have someone take care of you all the way? Isn't that just holding me back?"
Qin Xuanyu, realizing what was happening, immediately added.
In fact, he knew that keeping Dr. Lin alive was the best option, because that would give him a chance to take action and also give him a chance to act.
However, the road ahead is too dangerous, and the enemy may ambush at any time. If Doctor Lin is with him, the enemy may be more cautious. But if it is Jiang Qingyue, the enemy will definitely not let this opportunity pass. This is very dangerous. Therefore, Qin Xuanyu refused Jiang Qingyue.
"Your Highness, please don't look down on women. I can!" Jiang Qingyue said angrily, as if she was very indignant because she had been discriminated against.
How could she not know Qin Xuanyu's considerations? That's why she took the initiative to suggest going with him.
Therefore, both of them knew that this was an opportunity for Dr. Lin; one was worried about his safety, while the other was willing to give it his all.
Qin Xuanyu stared at Jiang Qingyue for a moment, and seeing the determination in her eyes, he remained silent.
Based on his understanding of Jiang Qingyue, once she made a decision, she wouldn't change it. This stubbornness made Qin Xuanyu shake his head helplessly.
"Yes, Doctor Jiang, you'd better not go. Since the Prince has asked me to go, then I will go!"
While Dr. Lin was putting on an act, she was inwardly urging Jiang Qingyue to persevere and for Qin Xuanyu to agree to her request.
As if the heavens had heard his prayers, Qin Xuanyu hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. "Alright, then you can come with me. But if you dare to hold me back, don't blame me for throwing you out on the road."
Qin Xuanyu pretended to be reluctant and let Jiang Qingyue follow. The two of them quickly left Doctor Lin's sight.
This is wonderful! It's like heaven is helping me!
Dr. Lin suddenly felt very grateful to Jiang Qingyue, because if it weren't for her, how could she have had this opportunity!
After Qin Xuanyu and his men left the camp, Doctor Lin kept looking for an opportunity.
Although he took some men with him when he left, many skilled soldiers remained in the camp to patrol and keep watch, and some soldiers guarded Qin Xuanyu's tent to prevent anyone from getting close. Doctor Lin couldn't find an opportunity to approach.
Damn it! Who are they trying to protect themselves from?!
Dr. Lin cursed angrily, refusing to believe that he couldn't find an opportunity to get closer.
At this very moment, Qin Xuanyu and Jiang Qingyue were already on their way to where the soldiers were trapped.
"You shouldn't have come along." Since the soldiers Qin Xuanyu brought were all trusted personal guards, he didn't deliberately hide his words.
"If I didn't come along, how would he have a chance? Isn't that right?"
