Chapter 138 Do you regret following me?
Jing Qishan said calmly: "Xuan's husband used to be my comrade-in-arms. He died in front of me, with half of his head chopped off by the enemy."
Li Yujiao was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's normal for people to die on the battlefield. If they want to kill you just because you're alive, then wouldn't that mean everyone will just die?"
Jiang Li explained to Li Yujiao: "But they all thought that no one should die in that battle. It was an obvious trap, but Brother Qishan still rushed forward."
Jing Qishan did not deny it.
Jiang Li asked again: "Brother Qishan, who gave you the order for the charge? Was it... General Ding?"
Jing Qishan covered his chest and said, "Don't mention the past. Jiang Li, you must be tired after running for so long. Why don't you go back and rest first?"
Jiang Li looked at the wound on Jing Qishan's chest with concern, and Jing Qishan added, "Don't get in the way of me and my wife being together."
Well, Jiang Li left immediately.
They were the only two people left in the room.
It was already evening and candles were burning in the house, providing dim light that illuminated the furniture inside.
This courtyard is quite remote and all the furniture is old. I guess a concubine or something lived here before.
However, given Jing Qishan's position, it would be good enough to be assigned a small courtyard.
She suddenly felt a little lost.
Jing Qishan couldn't help but pull Li Yujiao over and asked her, "Do you regret coming here?"
Li Yujiao gave a bitter smile: "Now that I'm here, there's no point in regretting it."
As they were talking, the housekeeper who had brought them in before came in again. He asked outside: "General Jing, Madam Jing, Madam Song asked me to bring you some medicine for external injuries."
Mrs. Song must be General Song’s wife, so Li Yujiao went out to greet her and thanked the housekeeper.
When I came back and opened the medicines, I found that they were all ancient powders and ointments for treating external injuries.
Li Yujiao had all these things in her space, so she put them aside.
"Mrs. Song also lives here?" Li Yujiao asked Jing Qishan.
"Yes, she lives in the main courtyard. When the city of Lin was at war, she set an example by coming here to be a military dependent."
"What about Xuan?"
"Her husband died, and she probably has nowhere to go, so she stays here and does odd jobs."
Li Yujiao asked again: "Today when I was waiting for you outside, a man named Ding lifted my curtain. I felt that he was very rude."
When mentioning Ding Qi, Jing Qishan's eyes were filled with hatred.
"If you see this person again, stay away from him and don't provoke him."
"Why? Do you have a grudge against him?"
"He is Madam Song's biological brother. He grew up with General Song and Madam Song and they have a deep relationship. All my previous military achievements were attributed to Ding Qi. The mistake I made last time was also caused by Ding Qi."
Li Yujiao couldn't help but ask: "How can such a person still hold an important position in the military camp?"
Jing Qishan sneered: "Where there are people, there is the martial arts world, and where there is the martial arts world, there are human relationships and worldly affairs."
Li Yujiao asked: "So when you come back this time, are you still going to listen to that guy named Ding?"
"Now that I have a higher position, and I gave General Song a brilliant plan before, I believe that when the military merits are counted in the future, they will be counted on me."
Li Yujiao, however, had some concerns.
She remembered that the original book mentioned that after Jing Qishan recovered from his injury and returned to the barracks, he did make great contributions, but he was soon harmed by his colleagues and was forced to leave the barracks for a while.
Could this colleague be Ding Qi?
……
Before dark, the housekeeper came over again and asked them if they wanted to eat.
It turns out that the military camp’s family quarters provide meals, so if you don’t want to cook yourself, you can go to the big kitchen to get meals.
After all, there are few family members accompanying the army, and those who can come are determined to live and die with their husbands.
After running around for so long, Li Yujiao didn't want to cook anymore, so she took two large bowls to get some rice.
The food was just average, with one steamed bun, a bowl of porridge, and some pickles per person.
When Li Yujiao went there, she saw women queuing up. Some of them were dressed elegantly, while others were dressed roughly. In short, there were all kinds of women.
Later someone said, "Mrs. Song is here!"
The women in the queue consciously made way for her.
Li Yujiao saw a dignified and simple woman coming out with a bowl in her hand. In response to everyone's request to give up their seats, she was not polite. After getting some porridge, she walked away with the bowl in her hand, smiling.
Being able to eat the same thing as everyone else was already a great honor for her. Why would anyone care whether she queued or not?
When it was almost Li Yujiao's turn, she explained to the person in charge of distributing the food: "There are two people in my family."
Before the person distributing the food could say anything, a woman behind him said sarcastically, "Oh, you lost the war and still have the nerve to eat in the family compound. If it were me, I would go kill the enemy right now!"
Li Yujiao looked back and saw a woman in blue looking at her sarcastically.
She didn't want to have a conflict, so she endured it.
As a result, when she was walking back with the porridge, the man stretched out his leg towards her and tried to trip her, but fortunately she discovered it in time.
She glared at the woman in blue and said, "Don't go too far. If you have any objections, you can go to Madam Song and see if she will allow me to eat."
Seeing Li Yujiao's fierce look, the woman in blue knew that she was not easy to bully, so she said, "Go quickly, we don't want to see you!"
Li Yujiao brought porridge and buns back to the room, then put the porridge heavily on the table and sat on the bed sulking.
Seeing this, Jing Qishan couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
"The women in the yard are too much!"
Jing Qishan probably guessed what was going on. He was silent for a while, then said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you to come here to suffer and be wronged with me."
Li Yujiao said, "You're already here, what's the point of saying this now?"
Jing Qishan walked to Li Yujiao, took her into his arms, and said, "Don't worry, I will make them respect you, admire you, and envy you sooner or later."
Li Yujiao's depression suddenly disappeared a lot. She pushed him away and said, "Let's eat quickly. I'm hungry."
……
Jing Qishan was going to the military camp the next day.
Li Yujiao wanted to stop him, "You were stabbed last night, why are you going to the military camp so soon?"
Jing Qishan said: "This minor injury is not a big deal. Besides, we don't have to fight today. We are just discussing strategy. Also, I may live in the military camp during this period. You have to take care of yourself."
Li Yujiao was a little unhappy: "It's a relief for you to leave. I'll stay and help you clean up the mess."
Jing Qishan held her shoulders and said, "My dear, I believe you have the ability to handle troubles. Those women in this house can't bother you."
Believe this again!
Li Yujiao said, "You should leave quickly. Take the medicine given by Madam Song with you. If there is any problem with the wound, you can apply it."
"My lady, take care." Jing Qishan wanted to kiss her, but she pushed him away.
"You go!"
