Chapter 1387 The Maid's Great Turn 27

Before Prince Chen could think about it, a deafening drum sound came from afar.

Everyone in the army was startled; it was the sound of drums signaling an enemy attack.

Prince Chen had already walked towards Su Yan, but he retracted his feet in an instant, turned around and walked out.

The soldiers gathered urgently, and the King of Chen ordered his troops to fight at any time.

The tense atmosphere was on the verge of breaking out. Zhang Ruonan was also in the army. As a logistics soldier, her main task every day was to cook.

The main reason is that she can't be any other soldier except a logistics soldier.

She saw the soldiers around her gathering urgently and she grabbed someone at random to ask what happened.

The man looked at her, quickly said "enemy attack" and ran away.

Zhang Ruonan thought that as long as she came to the battlefield, she would have room to perform.

However, this was not the case at all. She didn't know who to turn to for news on the battlefield. Even her husband only knew the information that everyone knew, and nothing more.

She was like a headless fly in the army, knowing nothing and unable to come up with any ideas.

When she chats with people every day, they are wary of her as if she were a spy.

When she watched TV and read novels before, the heroines in the stories could easily find the commander-in-chief and present a plan to him, but she didn't even know where the commander-in-chief lived.

It was impossible to get close to her. If she left her post without permission or took a few more steps, she would be questioned and asked to exchange secret signals.

She was afraid that she would not be able to get the code right and be caught as a spy.

It's too difficult. Cooking, washing vegetables and doing the dishes every day take up all her time. She has no time or freedom to do other things. She is basically working here for free.

She also told her husband that she didn't want to do it anymore. After all, her husband was a military general and he still had the power to mobilize soldiers.

However, the difficulty lies in the fact that in order to allow her to join the army, I had to use my connections and finally took up someone else's place.

If she quits now, wouldn't that harm the person she replaced?

That would be treated as a deserter, so her husband decisively rejected her.

"It's tiring to be a logistics soldier, but you don't have to go to the battlefield, so there's no danger. If you quit, the substitution will be exposed. Do you know how strict the Prince's jurisdiction is? This kind of thing is never allowed to happen. It's a violation of military discipline, and the punishment is either fifty lashes or beheading on the spot."

Zhang Ruonan said with a sad face: "Do I have to cook here until you finish the war?"

Xue Kui nodded and said firmly: "You were the one who insisted on coming here at all costs. I told you long ago that the military camp is not a place for trifling. But you said you had a brilliant plan. Now tell me, what is your brilliant plan?"

Zhang Ruonan: "How can I come up with a good plan if you don't tell me anything?"

Xue Kui: "What else do I need to tell you? The enemy has an army of 800,000 soldiers approaching. Even if we add the reinforcements, our army can barely make up 500,000 soldiers. With such a huge disparity in numbers, we are facing each other at Jiayu Pass. What else do I need to say about this situation?"

Zhang Ruonan: "What about the situation on the ground, the situation of the other side's commander, the weather, and the food and grass of both armies?"

Xue Kui: "If I knew this much, I would be the commander-in-chief commanding the entire army."

Zhang Ruonan: “…”

Xue Kui knew from the look on her face that she had no good ideas, and now he didn't want to hold her responsible anymore. He just wanted her to be a good fireman in the logistics department.

"I warn you, don't cause me any trouble, or I won't be able to protect you."

Zhang Ruonan wanted to cry but had no tears. Why was her life so difficult? It was so difficult to stand out from the crowd.

On the other side, the two armies had their first official confrontation. Prince Chen led his troops to attack, and the sound of fighting resounded through the sky.

Su Yan stood on the city wall, looking at the battle in the distance. People seemed very small inside.

Su Chengye stood beside Su Yan and also watched the two armies fighting.

Su Yan: "Why didn't you go with Prince Chen?"

Su Chengye: "Prince Chen said I am not qualified."

Su Yan: "Pfft, indeed, if you go out, he will have to divert his attention to protect you."

Su Chengye said angrily: "I don't need anyone's protection."

Su Yan: "Do you think King Chen will let you take risks? After all, you are the only bloodline of his master."

Su Chengye: "Everyone has to die, some are heavier than Mount Tai, some are lighter than a feather. As long as I think it is worth it, I will die without regrets."

Su Yan smiled and didn't respond.

Su Chengye asked in confusion: "What are you laughing at?"

Su Yan asked seriously: "The emperor wants to kill you. Maybe everyone in your Su family was killed by the emperor. Do you still want to work for him?"

Su Chengye said with disdain: "I am not working for him. I am working for the people of Jin. Every citizen has a share of responsibility for the fate of a country. I am working for the country, not that damn emperor."

Su Yan looked at him with admiration. Very good. He already sneered at the imperial power in his heart, which proved that he was really insightful.

Su Yan handed him a peace amulet and said, "Wear it, wear it close to your body, and don't take it off even when you take a bath. It has been blessed and will protect you."

Su Chengye took it suspiciously, and looked it over. It was just an ordinary amulet. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "You still believe in this thing?"

"Anyway, just wear it if I tell you to. Stop talking nonsense."

Su Chengye smiled and stuffed the amulet into his arms: "Thank you, no matter if it is useful or not, it is your thoughtful thought, I will definitely keep it carefully."

The two seemed to be chatting leisurely, but they were also paying close attention to the battle situation.

The battle lasted until dark, when both sides called off the battle.

A large number of wounded were sent to the rear of the military camp, and Su Yan also helped suture their wounds and provide treatment.

The military doctors were still unfamiliar with suturing before, but after this experience, they could thread the needle very quickly.

Thanks to Su Yan's timely teaching of suturing techniques and the method of extracting alcohol, very few of the wounded died and most of them survived.

Prince Chen's gratitude to Su Yan was beyond words.

After a busy day, Su Yan raised her head and twisted her waist and neck, and King Chen stood beside her quietly.

"Thank you so much this time. I seem to owe you more and more."

Su Yan smiled and said, "Then just owe it to me. I'm not in a hurry."

Prince Chen: "Sometimes, I always wonder if you are sent by God to help me, always appearing when I need you."

Su Yan: "Maybe."

It is your merit that brought us together, Su Yan added in his heart.
