Though Hope Is Slim, We Must Try
The medical officers heard the weak cough and immediately gathered around Wei Jinghai, carefully examining his injuries. They breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no serious problems.
They also felt more admiration for Jiang Yimian in their hearts. If she hadn’t arrived in time today, they probably wouldn’t have realized the problem until the toxin in Wei Jinghai’s body had spread throughout his body.
Seeing that Wei Jinghai was awake but looked weak, Xie Yu only said, “General Wei’s body has not yet recovered. Everyone, please leave first and come to see General Wei tomorrow.”
With that, she took a step out of the courtyard.
Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian were also preparing to leave, but Wei Jinghai stopped them.
“Lord Lu and Jiang Girl, please stay. I have some questions I want to ask you.”
Wei Jinghai was supported by Jiang Qingyuan and leaned against the head of the bed. Although his face was pale and he looked weak, the fortitude in his eyes could not be concealed.
That was the look that only someone who had been on the battlefield and struggled in piles of dead people for many years could have, as if he had seen through everything, but still had something he wanted to persist in his heart, an eye striving and working hard toward that goal.
After only the four of them were left in the house, he said, “Although I haven’t been awake for the past few Days, I could hear you talking. I know almost everything about what has happened in the Yamen recently.
If it weren’t for Lord Lu and Jiang Girl, I’m afraid I would have died already. Thank you both.”
As he said that, he was about to salute the Two People.
Lu Cijian and Jiang Yimian quickly stopped him.
“General Wei, you are too polite. You are a great hero respected by everyone in Great Jin. It is our duty to protect you.”
Wei Jinghai only smiled, his Line of Sight falling on Jiang Yimian’s face. After a while, he said, “You and Qingyuan do look very similar.”
Especially between the eyebrows and eyes, the similarity can be seen very clearly.
But the same pair of eyes, on two people, give people different feelings.
Jiang Yimian raised her eyebrows and looked at the tall figure standing beside her and said, “Now do you believe that I am your Younger Sister?”
More than one person has said that the Two People look alike these Days, but Jiang Qingyuan just pretends not to hear it and does not respond to it at all.
Every time she sees him, she has to remind him that he has no Younger Sister. It’s hard to say whether it’s more annoying or more helpless.
The person in her Memory is clearly not like this now. More than a year of battlefield life has really changed too much.
If Parents saw him now, she didn’t know whether they would be happy or sad.
However, she felt relieved in her heart. If Jiang Qingyuan treated her the same way as in her Memory, she would be afraid that she would not be used to it.
Now that he has Amnesia, she doesn’t have to worry about how to get along with him.
Jiang Qingyuan rarely denied it, but he didn’t answer. He just glanced at Jiang Yimian before talking about other things.
“General, all the Qingnan Refugees have been settled now, and there are people from the Censorate here in Yuncheng Prefecture, who will wait until several Villages are rebuilt before returning to the Imperial Court.
You don’t have to worry about the Flood. Now the people from the Ministry of Works are organizing the Common People to build a Flood Discharge Reservoir and rebuild the Riverbed, so I think the Flood in Qingnan will not be so serious next year.”
Wei Jinghai breathed a sigh of relief and only said, “That’s good. Then I can feel at ease when I return to the Imperial Court.”
Lu Cijian thought for a while before carefully asking, “General Wei, when you met with the Chu Prince when the Rebellion happened a year ago, did you notice anything Abnormal?”
Few people survived that Rebellion, so it is really difficult to know the Truth. He can only start with Wei Jinghai first.
After all, he is also considered a participant and should know more than him.
Wei Jinghai was stunned. His Line of Sight fell on Lu Cijian. Seeing that he didn’t seem to be joking, he said after a while, “What Abnormal do you mean?”
The incident a year ago seems far away and not far away.
Many details have been completely forgotten in the many Nervous battles on the Battlefield, but there is one thing he remembers clearly.
Lu Cijian thought for a while before simply telling Wei Jinghai about finding the batch of Weapons.
Wei Jinghai paused for a long time before realizing what he meant. “Are you saying that the reason why the Rebel Army was able to capture several Prefectural City so smoothly back then was because of that Weapon?”
He had thought about the reason for this before, but in the end, he had left it behind in the War. Now that he thought about it again, there were indeed many Problems.
The Garrison Troops back then were not weak, and the Military Force of several Prefectural City combined completely overwhelmed those Rebel Army, but the Bear Fruit was such a tragic defeat.
Even if these Garrison Troops were usually lax in training, this must not be the main reason.
If it was really defeated by Weapons, then there are too many conspiracies involved.
Lu Cijian nodded. “This is just my guess. There is no Evidence yet. I just want to ask General Wei about some details from back then.”
Wei Jinghai was in Silence for a while before saying in a deep voice: “When I rushed to Yu City back then, the Chu Prince had already led troops to attack the City for many Days. There were heavy casualties. The Soldiers who came to support from other Prefectural City were all dead. Only the army he led was with him.
If I hadn’t arrived in time, I’m afraid they would have died at the hands of the Rebel Army.”
At that time, the Situation was critical, and even the Common People of several Prefectural City were conscripted by the Rebel Army.
He didn’t have time to think too much, quickly integrated the Soldiers, led the crowd to attack the City, and gradually drove the Rebel Army back until he captured several Prefectural City that had been occupied.
Because the Rebel Army cunningly fled to the Border, and it happened that Tuyuhun was harassing several City at the Border, he then had the action of leading troops to the Border.
The handling of several Prefectural City occupied by the Rebel Army was all handled by the Chu Prince and some Officials of the Imperial Court. He didn’t know much.
Lu Cijian frowned, only feeling that the matter was difficult. The Chu Prince made a decision when he learned that Wei Jinghai was leading troops, and he must have killed all those who knew the inside story.
If he wants to thoroughly investigate the matter back then, he can only slowly investigate in several Prefectural City to see if there are any people still alive.
Although the Hope is slim, he still has to try.
After asking clearly what he wanted to know, Lu Cijian didn’t stay any longer. After saying hello to Wei Jinghai, he left the House with Jiang Yimian.
The Two People had just walked a few steps when they saw Chen, the Imperial Physician waiting not far away.
Chen, the Imperial Physician looked a little downcast. His originally radiant eyes were also dimmed. When he saw the Two People, he quickly stepped forward to salute. There was also a bit of a wry smile on his face, “Lord Lu, can you let This Official have a few words with Jiang Girl alone?”
Today’s incident was too sudden, and he felt like he was dreaming at the moment.
Lu Cijian looked at Jiang Yimian and nodded. Then he walked a few steps away, but not too far away, so he could see the Two People’s Shadows, but he couldn’t hear what the Two People were saying.
Jiang Yimian looked at the person in front of her who seemed to have aged ten years overnight, and only said, “What do you want to say to me?
If you want to talk about Liu Zixun, then there’s no need. His current Result is the best.”
