“Big brother. I’m fine. It’s just superficial injuries.
Zhong Yong saw his big brother’s concern about him and giggled foolishly. He only laughed as his vision darkened, and he fell to the ground.
“Someone, call the military doctor.
Xiao Zeyu hugged his good brother and ordered the soldiers to call the military doctor. He helped Zhong Yong to a chair and fed him the hemostatic medicine that Su Qing had given. After seeing that the bleeding had stopped, he checked his injuries and took Zhong Yong’s pulse.
At first glance, Zhong Yong only had a dozen external wounds on his body. The deepest wound was so deep that the bone could be seen, and the longest wound was more than a foot long. Despite being so heavily injured, He was still brave to kill the enemy. He was a fierce general.
Xiao Zeyu didn’t wait for the military doctor to apply medicine to his brothers first. Now, everyone in the Xiao family’s army had a portion of the medicine Su Qing had prepared for their wounds. The medicine she had prepared was very effective and would heal in one or two days.
The soldiers all privately talked about how the Young Mistress was immortal. Otherwise, how could she concoct such good healing medicine?
When the military doctor arrived, Xiao Zeyu had already cleaned Zhong Yong’s wound and applied medicine. The military doctor hurriedly went forward to bandage Zhong Yong’s wound.
Xiao Zeyu watched anxiously from the side with his hands behind his back. Fortunately, Zhong Yong’s body was strong, and the military doctor had finished bandaging him. He had also woken up from his coma.
As soon as Zhong Yong woke up, he thought of something important. He jumped up anxiously and rushed out, shouting,
“It’s bad, it’s bad.”
Xiao Zeyu pulled him back,
“Zhong Yong, where are you going?”
“The clothes Master asked me to bring you are still on that horse.
Zhong Yong slapped his thigh hard with a look of annoyance. When he left, he swore to his master to deliver the gift to his elder brother. In the end, he lost it because of his negligence.
■No, he had to get it back.’
“Forget it, it’s fine if you lose it.”
When Xiao Zeyu heard that Su Qing had made new clothes for him, he was also distraught. That was a New Year gift from Qing’er. It would be a pity to lose it.
However, he couldn’t send his good brother out to die just because of a piece of clothing. He could only feel inadequate in his heart.
“How can I face the Master?”
Zhong Yong had a long face, and the comers of his mouth drooped down as he looked about to cry.
While Xiao Zeyu consoled Zhong Yong, Long Ling outside the city looked at the grain that had been burnt to ashes and was exasperated. He raised his whip and whipped the soldiers in charge of guarding the grain,
“You bunch of trash, you can’t even stop three people?” Only after the soldiers were severely mutilated did Long Ling throw away the horsewhip in his hand and look at the impregnable Luo City with a dark
expression.
If that terrifying killing weapon was in his hands, would he still have to worry about being unable to take down Luo City?
Long Ling’s eyes flashed with determination. Since there was no food, he had to end the battle quickly. He ordered the generals who had just cleaned up the battlefield,
“Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy.”
Xiao Zeyu had just settled Zhong Yong down when his subordinate reported, “Reporting to Young Master, the Wan Clan Army has launched a fierce attack.” Xiao Zeyu had already predicted that after the rations were burned, the Wan Clan Army would attack the city like a mad dog, so he had made preparations. “Alright, do your best to defend the city. Don’t go out to fight.
They were outnumbered so that he would drag them to death. While Xiao Zeyu was leading the Xiao Family Army to fight a b.l.o.o.d.y battle, Su Qing was celebrating New Year’s Eve with her parents and relatives at Jingshi
Dao.
Xiaoying’s marriage had already been decided. Although her grandfather Qin Feng was reluctant to let Xiaoying marry into Tartan, he still agreed to his granddaughter’s happiness.
The wedding date was set for May, when spring was warm, and flowers were blooming. There were still a few months of preparation time. He wanted to prepare a generous dowry for his granddaughter and let Xiaoying get married grandly.
Xiaoying had no mother, so Yang Ruxue and Yang Rubing treated her as her family. They took care of all the embroidery work. Yang Rubing’s embroidery skills were not as good, and Yang Ruxue’s embroidery was considered top-grade, but it was still far from Su Qing’s. Su Qing’s double-sided embroidery had stunned her mother and aunt.
Su Qing did not tell her mother and aunt about her pregnancy. She was afraid they would not let her do anything and would not allow her to go to Luo City to look for Shuisheng, so she kept it a secret.
Little Chen had pestered Xiao Qi for the past few days. Even when Little Chen was sleeping, he had to hug her, afraid that Xiao Qi would disappear again if he let go.
Because of this, Xiao Qi couldn’t stay by her master’s side. Her lively, round eyes continuously begged Su Qing for help, hoping her master would save her. However, Su Qing felt she would only be at ease if Xiao Qi were by Xiao Chen’s side. Xiao Chen was too naughty now. He always sneaked out of the residence alone. She was worried that her brother would be kidnapped again.
On the surface, Jingshi Dao looked very safe, but there were hidden forces in reality. There were spies from the Imperial Court and spies from other countries in the city, so it was unsafe.
It was the new year. Su Qing made some fireworks. There were no such rare things in this era. Suddenly, they saw brilliant fireworks blooming in the sky. Everyone in the city looked up at the sky. It was so beautiful!
“Qing’er, it’s too beautiful. Give me one; I’ll let it go too.”
Luan Hong was as excited as a child. Even when she asked Su Qing for fireworks, she wanted to set them off.
On the other side, Xiao Chen was busy chasing. He ran after the fireworks with his short legs. His giggles made the night even more festive.
“Qing’er, what are you doing?”
Su Hanxuan saw a business opportunity. He would make a lot of money selling such a rare item.
“Fireworks.”
Su Qing handed the incense to Luan Hong and asked her to light the fireworks. She stood in the courtyard and admired the fireworks. It was rare to have such an auspicious and festive New Year’s Eve. The whole family was together. She suddenly missed Xiao Zeyu even more. Her heart had long flown to Luo City when she was at home.
Did Zhong Yong get the clothes to Shuisheng? Thinking of him wearing the clothes that she had made, Su Qing smiled. She gently stroked her belly. ‘If Shuisheng knew she was pregnant, would he be happy and lift her?’ The New Year pa.s.sed by quickly. On the fifth day of the New Year, Su Qing had eaten dumplings more than five times and suggested that she return to Mo City. Yang Ruxue couldn’t bear to let her go and held her hand tightly.
“Qing’er, accompany mother for a few more days. You’ve been gone for several months; Mother misses you.”
“Sister, don’t go.”
Little Chen hugged his sister’s hand and looked up at her pitifully. These few days, his sister had taught him martial arts, and he was learning it enthusiastically!
Su Qing looked at her brother’s big, clear eyes, and her cold gaze became gentle. She smiled and said,
“Sister will leave Xiao Qi for you, okay?”
Xiao Qi’s face instantly fell. When she heard that her master was leaving, she thought she had finally gotten rid of Little Chen. She did not expect her master to leave her still.
“Xiao Qi, you can practice martial arts with Little Chen.
Su Qing saw Xiao Qi’s face crumble and gave her an order with a straight face. Hearing that Xiao Qi would stay with him, Little Chen smiled happily. One of his front teeth fell out. His eyes widened instantly, and he held his teeth as he cried for his mother.
“Mother, mother, my tooth fell out.”
Lacking a tooth, Little Chen’s words were leaking. Su Qing was amused. The little guy was too cute. When the world becomes peaceful, she will keep her brother by her side and personally nurture him.
Su Qing didn’t let Xiaoying return to Mo City but let her stay in the Su family. Xiaoying liked the atmosphere in the Su family and was willing to stay.
When Su Qing returned to Mo City, a big surprise awaited her..
