The true and false lady's heart is waiting for the lady

"Go check on your brother. We need to reinforce the defense line. Fortunately, no civilians were injured today!"

Xie Dengji also felt fortunate. If the general had not already considered this, he felt that he would not be able to cope with it at all.

He fell into deep thought. When he was arranged to follow Luo Shijin here, it was to learn more knowledge and acquire more combat capabilities to protect the people.

However, he now understands that it is through repeated lessons that one grows up, and through repeated failures that one learns the enemy's habits. It turns out that brute force is not enough to resolve a war, and sometimes more strategy is needed. More support is needed. The civil officials in the court look down on the military generals, thinking that they are nothing but killing, that their words have no technical content, and that they are not helpful at all in dealing with politics! Today, he truly understands that military generals actually have to pay more than many people, such as forbearance and learning to control their emotions.

Luo Shijin was not as simple as he seemed to be. He was helped to reach his current position. But how could a young general who became famous at a young age need to rely on the help of others? It was just a manifestation of self-protection.

Perhaps, one day, when he fades away and grows to the point of being in decline, he will also need to cover himself up in this way.

He did learn a lot, but the most important thing was to learn how to protect himself.

After Luo Shijin brought Xi Ruoruo back to the post station, he invited a doctor in the city to take her pulse.

He was waiting outside the room. An Da looked at the injured young master and stared at An Ying. "Young master, should we let someone bandage your wound first?" An Da was also anxious because he was worried that the wound would get infected.

Luo Shijin glanced at An Da and did not rush to refuse, but looked in the direction of the room.

"Sir, Miss Ruoruo should be fine!"

An Da looked at Luo Shijin and comforted him. The next second, Luo Shijin saw the doctor coming out and hurried forward to ask, "How is it, doctor?"

The doctor was an old and elegant man, who was helped out by his apprentice. He looked at Luo Shijin and first smelled the familiar smell of blood, then returned to Luo Shijin's question: "It's okay, Miss Ruoruo took the drug, and it must be the violent shaking of the carriage that made her feel the pain in her body and wake up early. Under excessive tension, she received some mental stimulation, and she fell into a coma again before the drug was completely eliminated! Just rest for a few more days and you'll be fine."

"Thank you, doctor!" Luo Shijin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Xi Ruoruo was fine.

The doctor glanced at his apprentice, then looked at Luo Shijin and said, "The general is injured, we still need to clean the wound first."

The apprentice took the medicine box to the stone table on the side and took out the necessary medicines.

After Luo Shijin nodded to the doctor, he obediently walked up to the pavilion, sat down, and let the doctor's apprentice apply medicine and clean his wounds.

after dawn

Xi Ruoruo woke up from a nightmare, "No~"

After waking up, my whole body was covered in cold sweat.

After taking a few deep breaths, I finally calmed myself down.

Thinking of what happened last night, Xi Ruoruo reluctantly sat up from the bed. She was still a little weak and had difficulty sitting up.

"It's so shameful. A student of a prestigious academy actually had his food drugged and he didn't even notice it!"

She just felt that she had brought shame to the academy, but the image of herself hugging Luo Shijin and crying came to her mind, and she covered her face shyly.

"what!"

She seemed to be feeling aroused.

Thinking back to when he was fighting on the battlefield, he was really handsome and cool, giving people a feeling of strength and security.

"Xi Ruoruo, what are you thinking about?" Realizing that his thoughts were not right, he immediately calmed himself down.

I tried to get up from the bed and stood firm, but I couldn't stand firm and fell to the ground. At this time, I realized that I was bruised all over because of the violent bumps in the carriage. Not only did I not have the strength to stand steadily, but the pain was also very severe.

"Miss Ruoruo, are you okay?" Luo Shijin heard the noise outside the door and knocked on the door gently a few times, asking worriedly about the situation in the room.

Xi Ruoruo stood up from the ground with difficulty and responded to Luo Shijin at the door: "I'm fine."

"I've asked a maid from the general's mansion to take care of you. Is it convenient for you to come in?" Luo Shijin thought that a girl should have someone to serve her, so he went to the general's mansion early in the morning and selected a maid who knew some martial arts and was very self-conscious to serve her.

Xi Ruoruo listened, quickly tidied herself up, and walked over to open the door for them.

When the door opened, an exquisite face appeared. Although it was a little dark, it could not resist his charm.

"General Luo, is your hand feeling better? Thank you for yesterday!"

Xi Ruoruo remembered that last night, Luo Shijin injured his hand while trying to save her.

The serious and strict Luo Shijin became gentle when he saw Xi Ruoruo and said to Xi Ruoruo: "It's okay, it has been bandaged."

Xi Ruoruo looked at Luo Shijin's injured hand, which had been bandaged tightly. Deep in her heart, she felt instantly guilty and lowered her head to blame herself.

"I'm sorry!" Xi Ruoruo couldn't help but apologize.

Luo Shijin could see her self-blame and comforted her, "Before Mr. Ning Yu left, he entrusted Miss Ruoruo's safety to me. It is my fault that the lady was put in such danger. I should be the one to say sorry to the lady!"

"The general is not wrong, I was careless!" Xi Ruoruo hurriedly shook her head and said to Luo Shijin.

Luo Shijin looked at Xi Ruoruo. At that moment, Xi Ruoruo's heart was beating very fast.

"General!"

At this time, An Da appeared, "Miss Ruoruo?" and bowed to Xi Ruoruo.

Xi Ruoruo also nodded in response.

"What's the matter?" Luo Shijin suddenly became serious and asked An Da.

An Dadui said respectfully, "General, several generals have invited you to handle military affairs!"

"understood!"

After Luo Shijin's cold response, An Da turned and left.

"General, go ahead. Ruoruo is fine now!" Xi Ruoruo immediately told him not to pay attention to her.

Luo Shijin nodded slightly and couldn't help but said, "Miss Ruoruo, have a good rest today. I will come to see you later."

"Yeah!" Xi Ruoruo nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.

Before leaving, Luo Shijin glanced at the maid, and the maid knew very well what Luo Shijin wanted to express, so she bowed her head slightly and respectfully saw him off.

After Luo Shijin walked away under Xi Ruoruo's gaze, Xinla looked up at Xi Ruoruo and said respectfully, "I am the servant Xinla, sent by the general to serve Miss Ruoruo."

Xi Ruoruo came back to her senses after hearing Xinla's voice. She looked at Xinla and said, "I know you. You are from the Hippo tribe that General Luo rescued on the battlefield a few days ago! Your family was destroyed and you have nowhere to go?"

Xinla listened to these words, lowered her head instantly, and felt depressed.

"Xi Ruoruo, what's wrong with you today?" Realizing that what she said was not nice, she quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?"

"Miss Ruoruo, you are right to be angry. The people of the Hippo Tribe held you hostage and frightened you! I am not in the way!" Xinla was not sad about what Xi Ruoruo said. She knew that her family was destroyed and the tribe had coveted the Central Plains for a long time. She was also saved by the people of the Central Plains and given a chance to live, so she had no right to be angry.

"You are also a victim. I'm sorry! I shouldn't have hurt you with my words."

Wrong is wrong, Xi Ruoruo kept reflecting on her mistakes.

Xinla felt much better after hearing Xi Ruoruo's apology. At least her future master would be a reasonable person. She shouldn't be too sad, right?

"Come in?" Xi Ruoruo felt it was very awkward for the two of them to stand at the door. She said the wrong thing, but the other person didn't get angry, and she didn't know what to talk about.

"Yes, ma'am."

After Xinla came in, she dressed up Xi Ruoruo and watched her drink the medicine and eat the meal.

This is what she should do as a slave.

"Miss, you should just walk around the post station today. It's not very safe outside right now. The general has arranged guards to protect you at the post station! If you feel bored and want something, just tell me to prepare it for you."

Xi Ruoruo sat in the pavilion, looking up at the sky in a daze.

Xinla walked up to him and asked if he needed anything.

Xi Ruoruo came back to her senses, glanced at Xinla, then smiled gently and said, "I often like to be alone and daydream, you don't have to worry!"

"Don't call yourself a slave. People are not divided into high and low. I don't like the title of slave. From now on, you don't have to call me Miss. Just call me by my name."

Xi Ruoruo grew up in an academy and had never been served by anyone, so she was not used to this kind of life.

Xinla looked at Xi Ruoruo and said, "Yes, Miss."

Seeing that she still called herself "Miss", Xi Ruoruo smiled helplessly. She told herself that it was okay, and she probably wouldn't have much social interaction in the future, so she left here soon.
