Little Wu was stunned.
He had been with the Prince from the beginning to the end, how would he know about the logistics troops.
"How about I ask Master Yuan to take a look?" Little Wu asked.
"Never mind, Yuan Wenkang is also tired from deploying troops today, let him rest. I will personally go to the logistics camp to check on the casualties today," Xiao Jinxing said righteously.
Little Wu dared not expose the Prince.
If the Prince wanted to see the Princess, he should just say it outright, rather than searching for a grand-sounding excuse.
Little Wu followed Xiao Jinxing’s pace to the logistics camp.
At this mont, all the soldiers on the frontline were resting, yet it was rather peaceful.
The logistics troops, however, were extrely busy.
There were wounded soldiers everywhere.
Accompanied by cries of pain, utterly unbearable.
Xiao Jinxing, sowhat restrained in his heart, had never truly experienced war, and it was hard to imagine just how horrific it could be.
He walked through the wounded with Little Wu.
Then he finally saw Ye Qichi, noticed that she wasn’t wearing any armor; after all, the heaviness of the armor would hinder her movents and make it inconvenient for her to walk. Not just her, all the hundreds of military doctors were also in black casual clothes, with a white cloth tied around their arms, featuring a red cross in the middle—a creative idea from Ye Qichi, stating that with this symbol, they could be quickly identified as military doctors, even in the chaotic battlefield where it was difficult to recognize faces, one only needed to recognize this pattern.
It must be said.
This small innovation really made a big difference in the military.
Xiao Jinxing just watched Ye Qichi focused on treating the wounded.
The soldier in front of her had been struck by an arrow, and now needed the arrow pulled out.
The soldier was barely breathing, "Princess, if I die, please make sure my parents back ho are well taken care of, so that they can have a better life in their later years..."
"You will not die, win the battle, take the victory bounty, and go back to repay your parents yourself," she said.
"Princess..."
"Believe , you will not die," Ye Qichi encouraged.
The soldier nodded vigorously, as if truly inspired, and firmly said, "I will not die, I still have to kill enemies, to protect my country..."
"You are amazing," Ye Qichi gave him a smile.
The next mont.
She swiftly removed the arrowhead from the soldier.
The soldier "ughed" in pain.
The sudden pain caused him to vomit.
Ye Qichi covered the bleeding wound, and simultaneously had the soldier turn his head to prevent the vomit from blocking his throat, then skillfully treated his wound.
Even in the sowhat unclear darkness, she could still swiftly administer treatnt.
She aid to minimize the suffering of the wounded and save as many people as possible when ti allowed.
"Keep talking to him, don’t let him fall asleep," Ye Qichi instructed the soldier’s assistant nearby.
"Yes," the soldier hurriedly complied, "Little Niu, wake up, think of your parents, they are still waiting for you at ho, you can’t fall asleep..."
Ye Qichi was fully focused.
In this mont, her eyes only saw the task of saving lives and assisting the injured.
Having treated one wounded soldier, she moved on to the next.
The injuries Ye Qichi was treating were all critical.
The slightly less severe injuries were handled by other military doctors.
"Let’s go," Xiao Jinxing did not disturb Ye Qichi.
He always felt that he shouldn’t interrupt.
He shouldn’t delay her from saving lives.
The frontline was filled with countless deaths and injuries, utterly cruel.
The logistics showed him the warmth of humanity.
This was true unity.
So charge into battle to kill enemies, disregarding their own lives; others save lives and never give up.
Xiao Jinxing left.
Little Wu followed behind and suddenly couldn’t help but say, "The Princess seems to be shining with light."
Xiao Jinxing was slightly taken aback.
Ye Qichi, who was treating wounded soldiers, was actually covered in dirt all over her body, hands, and even face with bloodstains and gri, yet her slender and upright spine, her firm and gentle voice, truly resembled a sun that could radiate light and warmth.
Xiao Jinxing’s lips curled into a smile.
In his heart, deeper thoughts arose.
Xiao Jinxing returned to his own tent.
At the entrance, Bai Mowan was waiting for him.
"Brother Xiao," Bai Mowan watched his returning steps and asked, "Where have you been?"
Instinctively, he did not want to tell Bai Mowan that he had gone to see Ye Qichi, feeling that it would upset her, and he didn’t want to see her upset.
But the lie that he was about to say suddenly paused.
Then, withholding his feelings, he said, "I went to the logistics military camp."
The smile on Bai Mowan’s face subtly changed.
She thought that Xiao Jinxing had just gone around the camp to check on the soldiers’ condition.
However, she didn’t expect him to have gone straight to Ye Qichi.
She kept her displeasure hidden, smilingly said, "How is the logistics? There must be many wounded soldiers; it must be busy, right?"
"Very busy," Xiao Jinxing replied, "so I just took a look and ca back, as I didn’t want to disturb their rescue efforts."
"Yes," Bai Mowan smiled.
Her smile was sowhat forced.
"Did you want to see about sothing?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
"Nothing in particular, just couldn’t sleep so ca to see if you were sleeping. If not, I thought we could go to the front line together to comfort the soldiers," Bai Mowan said.
Xiao Jinxing nodded, "Let’s go."
It would be good to personally comfort and check on the conditions in every camp.
Xiao Jinxing and Bai Mowan, along with their personal soldiers, rode horses through the camps, boosting the soldiers’ morale.
Having visited all the camps,
"Should we go check on the logistics military camp again? Even if it’s busy, we should pay more attention to the soldiers and the wounded," Bai Mowan suggested.
Xiao Jinxing agreed.
They arrived at the logistics military camp.
It had been at least an hour, and everyone was still busy.
Upon seeing them,
everyone imdiately wanted to salute.
Only Ye Qichi glanced up, then continued treating a wound.
"No need for a salute, everyone keep busy. The Prince is only here to check on everyone, not to disturb your rescue operations." Bai Mowan’s crisp voice, carried a hint of authority.
Before the soldiers, Bai Mowan in her armor looked equally commanding and imposing!
All the soldiers obeyed and continued their rescue efforts.
Xiao Jinxing dismounted the horse and randomly comforted so soldiers.
Then, he walked to Ye Qichi’s side.
Bai Mowan naturally followed him.
Ye Qichi was stitching up, the soldier in front of her had a sword cut on his chest that nearly took his life.
"How is the injury?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
"Fairly good," Ye Qichi replied indifferently.
Her voice was slightly hoarse.
It must be cold?!
The night temperature had already dropped below zero.
"My Prince..." The soldier being treated endured his pain, wanting to salute Xiao Jinxing.
"Don’t move," Ye Qichi ordered coldly.
The soldier dared not make any careless moves.
Xiao Jinxing said, "No need for a salute."
"Thank you, my Prince," the soldier struggled to say, and did not forget to add, "Thank you, Princess."
"Don’t talk, save your strength," Ye Qichi advised.
However, the soldier couldn’t help himself, "The Princess is a great benefactor, I am eternally grateful for your kindness! I will surely stay at the frontier and sacrifice my life for the country!"
