Chapter 306 A wonderful rejuvenation
On the East China Sea Island, the sea breeze, carrying a salty and humid air, blows freely between the camps.
Murong Ling'er is now a highly respected military doctor in the barracks, but there is a difference between men and women in the barracks, so she still chooses to live with the convicts on the island.
Not only did Murong Ling'er's identity change, but Chu Lingfeng also gained a place in logistics with his own abilities and became a logistics soldier.
Every day, they go out before dawn and return home late at night. Their days are fulfilling and busy.
At this time, the situation on the island became increasingly tense. Those rampant pirates united various forces, sharpening their knives and vowing to take over Donghai Island.
For a time, the people on the island were in panic, the soldiers were on guard duty, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it was suffocating.
On that day, Murong Ling'er was working with two military doctors, Chen and Wang, in a makeshift medical tent, racing against time to treat the wounded.
"Miss Murong, the general has woken up and invites you over!" Li Zhong hurried into the medical tent with an unconcealable joy on his face.
"The general is awake?" When Doctor Chen heard this, his originally exhausted face instantly glowed with light, and even the wounded lying beside him in pain showed relieved smiles.
Before this, General Chen was seriously injured by an arrow and was in critical condition. The entire army was in panic. If it were not for several deputy generals who gritted their teeth and held on, the morale would have plummeted.
Murong Ling'er followed Li Zhong and walked quickly towards the main tent.
Inside the tent, in front of the desk, General Li, dressed in plain clothes, was concentrating on wiping his sword with his head down. When he heard footsteps, he raised his head with a sharp gaze.
"General, Miss Murong is here." After Li Zhong brought the person in, he stood straight aside, without looking around, like a silent statue.
General Chen was a burly man, more than eight feet tall, with muscles all over his body that showed endless strength. His eyes were large and bright, his gaze as sharp as cold stars, and just a glance from him could make people feel the full sense of oppression. He was worthy of being the supreme commander of this land of exile.
He looked at Murong Ling'er in front of him calmly, and saw that she had a calm expression and generous manners, and did not show any fear in front of him, the general.
The two men's eyes met. One was majestic and solemn, with an oppressive aura; the other was calm and composed, with fearlessness in his eyes.
"Miss Murong, thanks to your miraculous healing skills, you saved my life. I am grateful for your kindness." Chen Yue spoke first, a gentle smile appearing on his face, trying to ease the slightly serious atmosphere.
Murong Ling'er nodded slightly, with an attitude neither humble nor arrogant. She was neither complacent about saving the general nor trying to please him. She was still as silent and taciturn as ever.
Chen Yue's injuries had not actually healed completely, but the war outside was urgent and he really couldn't sit still. The battle outside was so fierce at this moment that he had no time to rest and recuperate.
If he had not just learned about the imperial court's troop mobilization, he would have ignored his injuries and rushed into battle to suppress the pirates.
Chen Yue didn't care about Murong Ling'er's attitude. He turned around and ordered Li Zhong: "Go, bring a chair for Miss Murong so she can sit down and talk."
Li Zhong immediately obeyed the order and soon brought a chair and gently placed it behind Murong Ling'er.
In fact, he was full of doubts.
He didn't understand why the general didn't summon them earlier when he clearly knew the identities of Miss Murong and Prince Chu, but instead let them work on the island like ordinary convicts.
If Miss Murong had not saved the general's life this time, I'm afraid the general would not have easily seen her.
Li Zhong didn't know that Chen Yue had his own difficulties.
He knew in his heart that there must be hidden secrets behind the Chu Palace's collaborating with the enemy and treason, and it was definitely not as simple as it seemed. Now the Chu Palace only had the Prince of Chu as the sole heir, and the Huo Marquis Mansion, which had always had close relations with the Chu Palace, had also fallen.
Anyone who can overthrow these two major forces in a short period of time must have a complex and unfathomable force behind him.
He was just a small general and did not dare to easily intervene in such a fight. If Murong Ling'er was not his savior and he was definitely not an ungrateful person, he would not pay too much attention to the situation of these people on the island.
Thinking of this, Chen Yue said, "I heard from Li Zhong that you volunteered to stay in the barracks and serve as a military doctor. The barracks are full of rough men and the living conditions are difficult. If there's anything you're not used to, just let me know. I can help you find an easier job."
"Thank you for your kindness, General Chen, but I think the current arrangement is good enough. There's no need to trouble you to make special arrangements." Murong Ling'er rejected General Chen's proposal without hesitation.
She had fought hard to get the position of military doctor. Although she was now exiled here, she had never thought of wasting her life here. The identity of a military doctor allowed her to move freely in the barracks, making it convenient for her to do many of her planned things.
Chen Yue didn't expect that she would refuse so bluntly. He had been planning to arrange a good place for her that was both relaxing and safe, but this was a bit unexpected.
He was slightly stunned, then nodded thoughtfully, and felt even more admiration for this seemingly weak but determined woman.
"Since the young lady has made up her mind, I will not force you. If you encounter any difficult problems in the future, please don't be polite to me and just speak up." Chen Yue had a gentle smile on his face and his eyes were full of sincerity.
"Thank you for your understanding, General. Ling'er will remember it in my heart." Murong Ling'er raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a just right smile, without any intention of taking the opportunity to seek benefits for herself or others.
When Murong Ling'er turned and left, Chen Yue's tense nerves relaxed instantly, and the pain in the wound came again like a surging tide.
His body shook uncontrollably and his face turned pale in an instant.
"General!" Li Zhong was quick-witted and quick-handed. He rushed forward and held Chen Yue firmly.
"Help me to the bed! I really can't hold on any longer." Chen Yue's voice was full of fatigue, and every word he said seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
Li Zhong was full of worry. He carefully supported Chen Yue and walked slowly towards the bed.
The general's injuries were extremely serious, and the severity of his injuries was shocking. Being able to escape from the extremely dangerous and hellish gates of hell was a miracle among miracles and a blessing in disguise.
However, at this moment the war situation was urgent and the military situation was burning, and there was no time to lose. Faced with such a tense and fierce situation, the general had no time to take care of his own injuries, and it was even difficult to spare a moment of quiet recuperation.
In Li Zhong's eyes, even such a earth-shattering event as the sky falling down seemed insignificant and not worth mentioning compared to the general's health.
At this moment, he looked at Chen Yue, who was lying on the hospital bed, extremely weak. He saw that the general's face was as pale as a piece of thin paper, without any blood at all.
Seeing this scene, Li Zhong's heart was instantly tightened, as if there were millions of ants gnawing at him. He was extremely anxious but helpless.
So, he stayed by the bedside without moving, his eyes never leaving the general for a moment, not even daring to blink, for fear that if he was careless, those insidious and elusive pirates would seize the opportunity to sneak in quietly and attack the general again, causing irreparable consequences.
