Chapter 735: Trembling Inside
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Northern Barbarians were good at riding, and they wielded curved blades.
Their curved blades were specially used for charging on horses. At one time, they were successful on the battlefield. Later, the Great Zhou Dynasty invented the Zhanmadao, which was used to restrain the enemy’s curved swords. Finally, they had a certain advantage on the battlefield.
Yin Huaixi said, “1 obtained it from Harmon. Compared to the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are many types of weapons. The Northern Barbarians are better at using curved daggers. This dagger is the ‘sincerity’ that he sent over after I fought and won against him. It’s the best weapon of their race. The Northern Barbarians reward martial arts experts. The strength of the weapons they wear is also a symbol of their strength. The best weapon is in the hands of the bravest warrior. The dagger that Harmon offered me represents respect. ”
Yu Youyao stared at him. “You even fought with Harmon? When did this happen? Why haven’t I heard Yin Qi mention it? Are you hiding something from me?”
Realizing that he had misspoken again, Yin Huaixi felt suffocated. “Before making the deal with Harmon, the two main generals will fight to test each other’s strength before deciding how to proceed with the subsequent deal. I didn’t ask Yin Qi to tell you because I was afraid that you would be worried.”
When Yu Youyao heard this, she understood that Yin Huaixi had taken the initiative and gained the upper hand in this transaction. It must be related to this battle.
She thought about it for a moment, then thought of a question. “Are you hurt?”
Yin Huaixi shut his mouth and said nothing.
Yu Youyao rolled her eyes at him. “Don’t think you can get away with pretending to be mute. If you weren’t injured, why would you be afraid that I’d worry? Do you think I’m a fool?”
“No, no.” Yin Huaixi quickly said, “My arm was injured but it’s fine already.
Harmon lost an arm, and he’s in a worse state than me.’
“I’m asking about you. Who cares if Harmon’s injuries are serious or tragic? Don’t think about anything else.” Yu Youyao glared at him, and even her tone was angry. “Was your injury bad?”
Yin Huaixi subconsciously wanted to say that it wasn’t serious.
Yu Youyao glared at him again, making him retract the words that were about to come out of his mouth. Yin Huaixi gulped and really became mute.
However, it angered Yu Youyao. “You don’t want to lie to me. You just want to hide it from me, right? If it was just a small injury, why would you be afraid that I would worry? In the exchange between the two armies, Harmon lost an arm. Although you didn’t fight with your lives, you definitely fought with your bodies at stake, right?”
Yin Huaixi lowered his head. “It was a little bad, but I’ve recovered now.”
“I didn’t ask you to make excuses.” Yu Youyao was furious, but she glared at him. “Roll up your sleeves. Let me see where you’re injured.”
Yin Huaixi obediently rolled up his left sleeve. His skin was fair, and the muscles on his arm were smooth. His thin muscles covered his firm arm, making him look very strong.
Yu Youyao immediately saw an abrupt scar on his arm. It ran from his shoulder to his elbow. The wound had already healed, and the scabs on it had just fallen off. The color of the wound was faint, and it was even a little pink. It did not look scary. However, at first glance, such a thick and long scar made her heart skip a beat.
She took a deep breath, and her eyes welled up with tears. “Does it hurt?”
Yin Huaixi was originally a little smug. It was not in vain that he had insisted on applying the scar removal medicine for a long time after his injuries recovered. The originally hideous wound did not look that scary.
At this moment, Yu Youyao’s eyes turned red. He was a little flustered. “I’m fine now.”
Yu Youyao sniffed and held back her tears. She knew that swords had no eyes on the battlefield. There will be many such situations in the future.
Her fingers trembled slightly, and her fingers couldn’t help but cover the new scar on Yin Huaixi’s elbow. “Did you hurt your muscles and bones? Although an injury like this seems to have healed, because the wound is too deep, the damaged flesh inside hasn’t completely recovered. If you don’t nourish it, as time passes, it will cause hidden injuries. You know that almost every soldier who has been through hundreds of battles and has been on the battlefield for a long time has hidden injuries. When they were young, they gave their lives to the country to protect the country. When they became old, they fell sick and handed their illnesses and pains to their families.”
On the battlefield, injuries were inevitable.
She wouldn’t make requests for him to stop. To Yin Huaixi, it wouldn’t be concern, but a burden. On the battlefield, Yin Huaixi had to be responsible for the thousands of soldiers under him.
He shouldn’t have to answer to her.
She was only using this method to tell Yin Huaixi to take care of his body and not get injured easily. Even if he was injured, he couldn’t ignore it just because his injuries weren’t fatal.
If he was injured, he should treat it well. He shouldn’t leave the internal injuries in his body, let alone bring the root of the illness to his family.
Yin Huaixi lowered his head. The little girl’s sharp fingers were as smooth and fair as suet jade, gently rubbing the new tender flesh on his elbow with a slight itch.
It was as if when the wound had just scabbed over, there was a layer of hard blood on the outside, but the flesh inside was slightly itchy. He couldn’t scratch it. The itch entered his flesh and rushed into his heart.
It made his heart itch uncontrollably. “l didn’t hurt my muscles and bones. During this period of time, I’ve been applying medicine. I’ve also taken one of the Essence Nourishing Pills you made every day before bed as you instructed.’
The Essence Nourishing Pill had the effect of strengthening the foundation and nurturing the essence. After taking it for a long time, it had the effect of strengthening the body and extending one’s life. It was called the “Small Heaven Protection Pill.’
Yu Youyao was a little relieved. “l made some blood nourishing pills earlier. Take some back and eat them. Take one every morning for three months. If you don’t feel any discomfort, you can continue taking them. It won’t conflict with the medicinal properties of the Essence Nourishing Pill.” He must have lost a lot of blood after suffering such a serious injury.
Yin Huaixi naturally listened to her. “I’ll listen to you.”
Yu Youyao’s lips curled up as her fingers moved away from Yin Huaixi’s arm.
“In the future, don’t hide it from me when you’re injured. Although I can’t help much, 1 can still treat your injuries, brew medicine, prepare incense, medicinal cuisine, nourishment, and so on to help you recover and fight on the battlefield again.”
Yin Huaixi said gently, “I’ve underestimated you.”
Yu Youyao stroked the pink new flesh with her fingers. “l know that you’re afraid that I’ll worry. Actually, more than worried, it’s…” When the words reached her lips, she suddenly sensed that something was amiss. She quickly lowered her eyes and swallowed them. “But I know that every injury you suffer is your pride and glory as King Yue Fei. I should be proud of you.”
Yin Huaixi suddenly held her hand and asked, “What is it?”
Yu Youyao looked up in a panic and glanced at him. She only felt that in his eyes, there was a dazzling galaxy that no one dared to look at directly. She quickly lowered her head. “No, nothing..”
