Chapter 192 Commitment
In Tumu Fort, Chen Xi had a rare good sleep. When he woke up from his sleep and felt that his spirit had recovered, he realized something was wrong.
Although his consciousness was still drowsy, he still opened his eyes and faced the colors that made him feel confused. Then the vision in front of him became clear. It turned out that the "stove" in his arms was just a person, and a soft and fragrant woman. It was Yunliu, who had been helping him walk around for the past few days.
"Hmm? Cough cough..."
Chen Xi wanted to say something, but when he wanted to clear his throat, a stream of air conditioning poured into his mouth, but he couldn't help but cough violently.
He suffered from very severe wind and cold. If he hadn't supported it in one breath, he wouldn't have been able to persist until now.
Yunliu did not fall asleep. When she heard the sound, she raised her head and saw Chen Xi coughing heart-wrenchingly. She quickly reached out to help Chen Xi straighten her body. Then she found something and quickly tidied up the clothes on her front, but it still couldn't hide the place that could make her daughter's shy family.
When she sat up, the underwear in front of her had been basically tidied up, and it still covered the seductive place.
"grown ups!"
Yunliu's voice at this time was not as simple and concise as before, but seemed a bit charming and affectionate. When Chen Xi heard it, he naturally felt a little more tender in his heart.
Chen Xi coughed a few times and looked over. He saw Yun Liu sitting shyly, her skin exposed outside showed red and white colors. He did not turn his head to look aside, because he was not a young man who was ignorant of the world, and he had long been used to the things in front of him.
Chen Xi asked, "What do you do?"
Yun Liu then quickly left the bed, put his coat on his body, tidied it up, and said, "My lord has been running around for days, and his body is also infected with the cold. Now the city lacks the necessary medicinal materials and conditions. I... I want to use my body to warm up my body. I am abrupt and deserve to die!"
As he said that, Yunliu knelt on the cold ground regardless of her thin clothes.
Chen Xi quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Get up and talk... Cough cough, I don't want to be sick myself, and I will also make the people around me sick!"
"Yes, sir."
Yunliu was worried. She didn't understand Chen Xi's attitude, so she could only hope that Chen Xi would not blame her. She did not expect that her "active dedication" would be exchanged for Chen Xi's mercy.
Chen Xi struggled to sit up and tidy up his clothes a little, but he still coughed continuously.
Chen Xi covered his mouth with one hand and coughed, and gestured to Yun Liu with the other hand, asking Yun Liu to bring him water. When the sheepskin water bag was presented to Chen Xi, Chen Xi leaned over his mouth to suck, and found that it was actually hot water inside.
"Sir... drink slowly!"
Yun Liu looked at Chen Xi, her eyes full of tenderness.
Chen Xi drank water, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "This Tumu Fort is indeed not suitable for you women living in. Thank you for your hard work!"
"Sir, don't work hard!" Yunliu felt warm in her heart when she heard Chen Xi's concerning words. No matter how tired or hard she was, she felt it was worth it.
Chen Xi turned around and looked at it, asking, "Where is Xier?"
Yun Liu replied: "Xi'er is boiling water for adults. The boiling water is what she prepared for adults. When adults get up... there is hot water to wipe their faces and even cleanse their bodies. Adults don't have to be too frugal. When you just went to bed, the sky suddenly changed. As the north wind whistled, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it soon started to snow again!"
Chen Xi was not happy when he heard this, but was a little anxious. He came down from the ground regardless of not wearing too much clothes on his body and arrived at the door of the dormitory. As he opened the wooden door of the room, a bitter cold wind poured in. He did not pay attention to the bone-broken coldness. In front of him was a piece of snow, with messy snowflakes everywhere, presenting a scene of an ice and snow world.
"well!"
Chen Xi closed the door, sighed long, and said, "I thought I could calm down today when I saw the sun in the morning. Who knew that it would be heavy snow again, and the soldiers would have a hard time."
"Give me instructions to sort out all the wood and forage in the city, and then peel off the seized cloth and sheepskin coats and robes that were disinfected with boiling water to supply them to the officers and soldiers. We must ensure the warmth needs of the officers and soldiers, and at the same time we can eat hot soup rice!"
Before, Chen Xi was worried about the water source and dietary supply in the city, but at this time he was even more worried that there was not enough firewood.
The middle of winter this year came much earlier than usual. Chen Xi did not expect that this would be the case. There is no need to worry about drinking water in the city for the time being, but what followed was that the amount of firewood in the city was not large, and some of them were used in construction fortifications. At this time, Chen Xi was afraid that there would not be enough firewood to make fire and open the stove.
"Yes, sir, I will give you instructions now!"
Despite his hard work, Yunliu quickly tidied up his clothes and picked up the men's clothes and put them on his body. He was about to go out, but Chen Xi grabbed his hand.
Yun Liu's body seemed to suddenly froze, and he was at a loss, and he didn't know what to say.
Chen Xi smiled and said, "Yunliu, thank you so much. If I could return to the capital, I would not let you and Xier down!"
"Thank you... sir!"
Yunliu felt mixed feelings when she heard Chen Xi’s promise. This was the sentence she most wanted to hear in her life, and it was the warmest and happiest sentence she felt after hearing it.
"Ahem!"
Chen Xi was still coughing non-stop, so he had to let go and sit back in front of the bed. Yun Liu came over to tidy up his clothes, and the two left the dormitory one after another.
When he came to the hall in front of the command post compound, Zhang Yong seemed extremely anxious alone. Although he knew that the Ming army won another victory last night, he knew that the Tatars had not withdrawn at this moment. From the analysis of all aspects, at most he would defeat the Tatars and attack the city once.
When Zhang Yong saw Chen Xi coming in, he immediately stepped forward to stop Chen Xi and asked, "Mr. Shen, how is this battle going on?"
Chen Xi was sitting down coughing and reluctantly replied: "Make do it!"
Zhang Yong was angry and annoyed and said, "What does it mean to make do with it? Lord Shen, this win means to win, and loss means to lose. You go back to rest after the war, and no one is allowed to disturb you. And all the generals and officials are not showing up outside the city. Our family doesn't even know what the situation is. How do you say this in the report to the court?"
Chen Xi looked at Zhang Yong with half-squinted eyes and asked, "Eunuch Zhang, do you care a lot about the report to the court now?"
Zhang Yong was speechless when asked. At this moment, Tumu Fort was equivalent to an isolated island, and he couldn't protect himself, so how could he care about writing a war report to the court?
Even if I write it, I can't give it out.
Zhang Yong stammered and said, "Looking back... I still need it!"
Chen Xi turned his head and said, "Let's talk about it when you need it. Eunuch Zhang went back and rest first. I am very busy today and I have no time to tell you in detail!"
"The war has been over. What else can Lord Shen be busy with? Can you tell us about it?"
Zhang Yong was a little anxious. After a battle, he didn't even know the result of the battle. He didn't dare to go up to the city to check it out, for fear of being shot down by the Tatar crossbow.
Chen Xidao: "I want to prepare for today's decisive battle. Can Eunuch Zhang be satisfied with this answer?"
Zhang Yong hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
Chen Xi took out such an excuse, and he just thought Chen Xi was upset and didn't want to talk nonsense to him, so he stood aside consciously.
