Chapter 204: Ask me, Sit down

Doctor Wu didn’t know that Lin Chujiu had already guessed Xiao Tianyao’s plan. So in order to persuade her, Doctor Wu cracked his brain to describe the tragic life of front-line soldiers.

“w.a.n.gfei, you don’t know how those 300,000 soldiers were living bitterly in the hands of the emperor. Eminent Xu was fair and won’t deliberately sacrifice them all, but the people above those soldiers treat them bad and unfair. They only have given them the worst armors and weapons.”

In order to make Lin Chujiu understand the situation of the 300, 000 soldiers in the war, Doctor Wu explained the situation with further details: “Those soldiers have a sword in their hands, but the blade can’t even penetrate through their enemies armor. It can’t cut. The spears in their hand also easily get breaks. How will those soldiers successfully kill their enemies on the battlefield?”

“The armor they wore was the old armors from the previous years of war. The armor that w.a.n.gye had specially created for them was taken by the emperor and was given to his own soldiers. The emperor let them wear the old and tattered armors. Fortunately, it’s not winter. Otherwise, who knows how many of them will die from colds.”

When Doctor Wu said those words, his eyes become red: “w.a.n.gfei, I admit I came to you because w.a.n.gye has ordered it. But, I followed because I also want to do something for them. I didn’t go in and out in the barracks like them. But, most of those soldiers called me, grandfather. Many of them were only 16 and 17 years old. I treated them like my own grandchildren from the bottom of my heart. So, I will not be sad if they died fighting on the battlefield protecting our country. I will feel proud of them. However, if they died only because of lack of proper armors, weaponry, and medicines, I really cannot accept it.”

Doctor Wu didn’t hesitate to show his sadness and despair. He also didn’t care about losing his face in front of his apprentices and just sat on the floor: “w.a.n.gfei, you don’t know how cruel the emperor is. People say our emperor was not hungry in power, but actually, he was very hungry. There was a total of 500, 000 soldiers on the battlefield. But only his 200, 000 soldiers eat well every day. Only his soldiers have the latest armors and sharpest weapon. But, they only stay on the rear side, waiting to get the glory.”

“On the other hand, w.a.n.gye’s 300,000 soldiers have tattered armors and useless weapons. They also don’t have enough foods. They only eat three bowls of porridge every day. With such a harsh condition, how could they even wield the weapon in their hands?“

“Once the battle was over, the emperor’s 200, 000 soldiers only has small injuries. But the doctors treated them well and give them wound dressings. The herbs were also constantly used by them, even though n.o.body even experiences a broken leg. While w.a.n.gye’s soldiers, they cannot get any medicine. As if it means, if they survive, they were lucky. But if they died, they deserve it.”

“w.a.n.gfei, you don’t know this, but the pile of corpses buried in the pit of the barracks. They were w.a.n.gye’s soldiers that didn’t get a timely treatment. They didn’t get any medicine, so they died. They shouldn’t have died… …”

When Doctor Wu said those words, he began crying. The several apprentices on the side also began sobbing… …

Lin Chujiu admits that her heart become soft because of Doctor Wu’s words, but… …

A batch of medicine to treat those 50,000 injured soldiers?

“This thing, let me think about it.” It’s not that Lin Chujiu doesn’t want Doctor Wu to accomplished his task, but she was scared of her own situation. So after saying those words, she left in a hurry.

“w.a.n.gfei, w.a.n.gfei…” Doctor Wu busily chased after Lin Chujiu. But, Lin Chujiu walked fast and disappeared.

At night, Zhuangzi was extremely quiet. There were no lights everywhere. The forest turned the outside, a place that no one can go to. So, Lin Chujiu reluctantly returned to her room.

Inside the room, Xiao Tianyao was already waiting for her to come. He just finished bathing, so his long hair was untied. The dim light of the candle made his cold atmosphere look warmed. Under the candlelight, Xiao Tianyao’s eyes also look a bit soft than usual.

Pretty handsome face, soft thin lips, calm and gentle eyes, n.o.ble and graceful behavior… …

This man looks so d.a.m.n good!

Xiao Tianyao’s deep eyes made Lin Chujiu’s heart beat so fast, and she couldn’t help but utter: “w.a.n.gye,” She knew that this man would be staying in this room.

And tonight, she can’t hide.

“Your back.” Only simply words came out from his mouth, but a person couldn’t help but feel warm.

A man who was overbearing, cold and proud, occasionally showing his gentle side can really intoxicate a person.

“Mmm, I’m back.” Lin Chunjiu admitted that she was hopeless. Facing Xiao Tianyao’s rare tenderness really made her forgot that he almost killed her. And she couldn’t lose her temper right now.

“The hot water is ready, go and take a bath.” Xiao Tianyao’s tone was not strong, but a person couldn’t help but follow.

There was no other person in the room. Lin Chujiu could only serve herself and take a bath. Well, she really doesn’t need someone to serve her.

Lin Chujiu’s hair was long and thick, her towel cannot absorb water, so she had no choice but to wipe her hair for a long time. But still, her hair was somewhat wet.

Lin Chujiu was not lazy, nor impatient. But, she really doesn’t want to spend the rest of her time wiping her hair. Anyway, now the weather was warm, it will eventually dry after an hour.

Lin Chujiu returned to her room with a wet hair. Xiao Tianyao who stayed in his original position looked up and saw her appearance. Then, he frowned his eyebrows and ask: “Why you didn’t dry your hair?”

The water from Lin Chujiu’s hair wet her coat and got affixed to her body. Exposing some things that shouldn’t be exposed. Lin Chujiu didn’t notice it, but Xiao Tianyao saw it at a glance.

Is this woman trying to seduce him?

In fact, she doesn’t need to do this. As long as Lin Chujiu speak her mind, he can consider cooperating with her.

“I’ll wipe it later.” Lin Chujiu was not used staying in the same room as Xiao Tianyao. Fortunately, she was wearing a long ancient dress, otherwise, she will be more uncomfortable.

Forget it, I’ll go outside!

Lin Chujiu ignored Xiao Tianyao’s existence. She took an outer coat in the wardrobe, put it on and ready to go.

“Where are you going at this late hour?” Xiao Tianyao turned his wheelchair and stopped in front of Lin Chujiu. His black eyes showed a hint of disappointment.

Lin Chujiu didn’t look at Xiao Tianyao, and only whispered, “I’ll go out to wipe my hair.”

A person needs to go outside to wipe her hair? Is he an idiot to believe that?

Xiao Tianyao pointed his finger at the dresser and said with displeasure: “Sit down!”

“Huh?” Lin Chujiu thought she heard wrong, so she looked down at Xiao Tianyao.

Xiao Tianyao’s eyes look so gentle to the point she felt like drowning.

She felt like, in Xiao Tianyao’s eyes, she was like an unreasonable child. Causing endless trouble. But Xiao Tianyao was willing to accommodate all her willfulness…

This feeling is terrible.
