Chapter 444 Shen Ruzhou doesn’t see him at all
At noon, the trumpet of victory finally sounded in the military camp.
Shen Ruzhou and Shen Mu looked at each other and smiled, quickly put down the medicine bowl in their hands, took a thick fox fur cloak and went to wait in front of the tent.
There is still heavy snow like goose feathers outside, and Shen Ruzhou's red dress stands in the cold wind, looking particularly vivid, bright and dazzling.
After more than a day of fierce fighting, the soldiers were already exhausted and dragged their heavy steps towards the military camp.Xiao Chenyan was also exhausted, sitting on the horse with a tired expression, shaking his body with the rise and fall of the horse's hooves.
As soon as he entered the camp, his tired and tired eyes were attracted by the bright red color, and he instantly became more energetic.
Shen Ruzhou held the thick fox fur coat in his hands, standing on tiptoes and looking out anxiously, his face full of concern and expectation.
Xiao Chenyan was a little stunned, and he felt in a daze that Shen Ruzhou, whose heart and eyes were full of him, was back again.He forced himself to sit up straight, his mouth curved, his eyes full of warmth.
After entering the military camp, Xiao Chenyan hurriedly jumped off his horse and saw Shen Ruzhou smiling at him. It was like a warm current flowing through his body. The fatigue caused by fighting the enemy in the ice and snow disappeared instantly.
Seeing Shen Ruzhou running to greet him, Xiao Chenyan hurriedly stepped forward, his voice filled with unprecedented tenderness, "It's so cold, why don't you wait in the tent?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Ruzhou passed him by, as if he hadn't seen him at all. He walked directly in front of Shen Chumu, raised his hand and put the fox fur in his hand on his body, his eyes full of concern: "Brother , you are back, I am worried to death. Let me see if you are injured..."
As Shen Ruzhou spoke, he checked carefully and felt relieved after making sure that Shen Chumu was intact.
Xiao Chenyan stiffened his body and stood on the spot, even holding his hands in a hugging posture. At this moment, he could only take them back in embarrassment.
He turned around and looked at Shen Ruzhou with a gloomy look. He took a deep breath and endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back anymore: "Don't you have eyes? I am standing in front of you, don't you care... "
Before he finished speaking, Shen Ruzhou went to the back of the team without looking back.There were many wounded soldiers there.
Shen Ruyi was so focused on calling for military doctors to help treat the wounded soldiers that he didn't notice Xiao Chenyan at all.
Xiao Chenyan was ignored again. The anger in his chest had nowhere to vent, and his face was terrifyingly gloomy.
Jun Wu was busy trying to console her, "Your Majesty, the Princess is a medical student and has always been kind-hearted. She is currently busy treating wounded soldiers, so maybe she didn't hear what you said."
"Huh, even if she heard it, it's not necessarily..." Xiao Chenyan was filled with sadness and did not continue.Her long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, looking coldly at Shen Ruzhou's busy figure not far away. At this time, she was gently helping the wounded soldiers bandage their wounds, and she whispered comforting instructions.
The expression in Xiao Chenyan's eyes became complicated. She treated strangers soldiers better than herself, and he felt even more uncomfortable.
In the evening, Xiao Chenyan sat in front of the case, twirling his pen and carefully writing a memorial to be sent to Kyoto.At this time, the scouts sent urgent information from the front line.Xiao Chenyan reached out to take it and opened it. His pupils suddenly shrank and his expression became serious.
Jun Wu, who was grinding next to him, realized that something was wrong. He leaned closer to take a look at the information. After just one glance, his lips trembled in panic and he said, "The King of Northern Liao actually led the troops to the expedition himself."
Xiao Chenyan's eyes were dim and unclear. He tapped his fingers on the table. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "The King of Northern Liao has assembled an army of fifty thousand to attack us. According to their marching speed, how long will it take to arrive?"
After hearing this, the scout thought for a moment and replied: "About ten days."
Ten days?Time is so tight.A fierce look flashed across Xiao Chenyan's eyes, this was bound to be a tough battle.
Although he had a large army at hand, he didn't have much experience in leading troops in combat. When he encountered such a strong opponent, he felt really unsure.
He raised his hand to let the scouts retreat first, and paced back and forth in the camp with his hands behind his back.
Jun Wu was still in panic and couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty, this time Bei Liao is coming fiercely, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with. Why don't we return the military power to General Shen and return to Beijing first."
"No. I will never return without success." Xiao Chenyan made up his mind, stopped, picked up the information on the desk again and looked at it, and after a while he said: "Send someone to the hinterland of Beiliao to inquire about the information. The king wants to know clearly every move of the King of Northern Liao."
"Yes." Jun Wu accepted the order and retreated.
Xiao Chenyan sat back at the desk and looked through the imperial newspaper. In the month since he left Kyoto, King Yu had not been idle at all, wooing courtiers and currying favor with the emperor. He had reversed his previous defeat and was very likely to make a comeback. sign.
The situation in Kyoto does not allow him to stay in the north for too long. The current battle can only be fought quickly.
After thinking about it, Xiao Chenyan still couldn't figure out how to deal with the King of Northern Liao, so he decided to ask Shen Mu for advice.
Xiao Chenyan walked out of the camp. In Shen Mu's tent not far away, the lights were bright, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.
He walked up to him in three steps at a time, opened the heavy curtain and went in.Inside, Shen Chumu was talking vividly about how he killed the enemy heroically. Shen Mu leaned on the bed and listened carefully, his face full of love and pride.Shen Ruzhou on the side showed a rare glimpse of the coquettishness of a young daughter, holding her father's arm and listening obediently, her eyes full of admiration for her brother.
Seeing Xiao Chenyan come in, the warm smile on Shen Ruzhou's face instantly turned into smoke and disappeared, replaced by a cold and indifferent face.
