Chapter 1790: If You Had Told Me This Earlier…

The next step was to settle down and count the casualties. Ning Shu first treated Chen Li. The arrow was still stuck on his body, so she picked the arrow out with a dagger. She sprinkled the wound with some medicinal powder before bandaging it.

Chen Li’s tanned face turned pale with pain.

Because of using excessive force earlier, Ning Shu’s four limbs—no, her whole body was sore. She could barely move, but there were several soldiers in need of her help. Ning Shu grabbed handfuls of powder and pressed them on their wounds.

“You know how to treat wounds?” said General Liu in surprise when he saw Ning Shu treat someone.

Ning Shu wiped the sweat off her forehead. “I know a bit.”

“If you had told me this earlier…”

Ning Shu: →_→, he wouldn’t have made her lift the wooden ram?

In the end, anyone who did extraordinary things had determined hearts and was callous. Their wills were as hard as iron. General Liu’s gentle appearance was only misleading. He wouldn’t even blink twice while sending people to death.

“What medicinal materials do you need? I just found a batch of medicinal materials from the government office. You can tell me whatever you need,” said General Liu before leaving in a hurry.

When everything settled down, Ning Shu was so tired that she couldn’t even lift up her hands. She said to Chen Li, “Brother, I’m going to take a rest.”

Ning Shu leaned against the wall and closed her eyes to rest. When she woke up, Chen Li was guarding by her side, and his clothes were draped over her.

When Ning Shu moved, she almost let out a moan. Her whole body was extremely sore.

Ning Shu asked, “How many people died this time?”

“Thirty, ah…” said Chen Li, his face pale because of the blood loss.

“We can only step up the troops’ training,” said Ning Shu. War was a meat grinder, not to mention unspeakably cruel.

“General Liu said that the troops will stay in Dazhou for some time. He said that Dazhou will be developed as the national capital,” said Chen Li.

This was staking a claim as a king.

His plan was to first capture Dazhou and then gradually eat up the land around the city.

This was good. Carrying a hoe and a rake wouldn’t get them far. They had set up regulations.

“General Liu said that once things calm down, we will be rewarded.” Chen Li said, “Speaking of which, we are also lucky. We fought in a big battle as soon as we arrived.”

Ning Shu understood the general’s intention. No wonder General Liu wanted them to do such a dangerous thing as lifting the wooden ram. They had to show their loyalty.

“General Liu and the others went out to hunt down the deserters. I was injured, so there’s no way I could go,” said Chen Li.

“It’s fine. This small amount of credit doesn’t matter. There will be many opportunities in the future,” said Ning Shu indifferently. They had just stepped foot in this land, so it was not good to be in the spotlight too much. Besides, Dazhou was just a small place. There would be many more battles in the future.

Early the next morning, the people who had gone out to hunt down the deserters returned. The breakfast this time was made up of big white steamed buns stuffed with meat. The whole army enjoyed this treat.

It was the first time Ning Shu had eaten such a good meal since leaving home. Eating it with meat broth was beyond delicious.

Ning Shu only ate one steamed bun, though. She gave the other one to Chen Li. She ate fasting pills earlier and was not hungry at all. All the food she ate was just a symbolic meal.

After all, anyone who could live without eating food would be a monster.

“You eat it.” Chen Li didn’t take the steamed bun and said, “You’ve gotten thinner. Eat more.”

“I’m full. You can eat it.”
