Chapter 217 Exiled Prisoner Faints
"Your Highness, please come inside!"
Bogda immediately led the eldest prince into the military tent and gave him the main seat.
The eldest prince did not stand on ceremony and sat down directly. Then he had someone bring another chair so that his uncle could sit next to him.
"Your Highness, what are you doing here?"
Bogda's joy at seeing his nephew had completely faded, and he looked at the eldest prince with displeasure and asked.
The situation in the capital is currently turbulent, and there are many competitors for his nephew. He really shouldn't be here at this time!
The eldest prince's initial joy faded considerably when he thought about things at home.
He looked at his uncle with displeasure and muttered, "It's all because of Father. He says I'm not doing my job properly and keeps urging me to get married and take concubines, but I don't like any of those women. I'm so annoyed."
"I heard that my uncle has won great victories on the front lines and has already reached the heart of Dayong. I wanted to come here to see for myself. Moreover, I heard that the women here are mostly gentle and talented."
"My father always says I have no talent, so why don't I find a woman with exceptional talent to take back to me? In the future, she can use her brain and I can do the work, wouldn't that be a match made in heaven?"
"Hehe, Uncle, don't you think I'm incredibly clever?"
Bogda was stunned by his nephew's astonishing words.
What a brilliant mind!
Marrying a woman from another ethnic group, and a woman from another ethnic group who is exceptionally intelligent—with your IQ, aren't you afraid of being stabbed in the back and sold off in the middle of the night?
It must have been the eldest prince who listened to the nonsense of one of his underlings, which is why he traveled all this way.
But they've already arrived, and it seems they don't intend to go back until they achieve their goal.
Bogda felt helpless.
"Alright, Your Highness, you must be tired from your journey. Go back to your tent and rest. We can discuss other matters later. Your uncle still has military matters to attend to," Bogda instructed directly.
The eldest prince was already exhausted and had no objections. He immediately led his subordinates back to rest.
"Xiongta and Wuen, you two must take good care of the eldest prince during this time and ensure his safety at all costs!"
"Yes, Your subordinates obey!" Xiongtawuen replied in unison.
Early the next morning.
Bagtu and Satai led an army of 100,000 to Cangzhou Prefecture and launched another fierce attack.
When Commander Huang saw that the Northern Barbarian army had brought 100,000 troops to attack the city, he couldn't help but feel a little heavy-hearted.
The Northern Barbarians were much stronger than the Dayong people.
The fighting power of this 100,000-strong army is comparable to that of the 150,000 elite troops of the Great Yong Dynasty.
Moreover, this is not even the full strength of the Northern Barbarian army.
There are at least 100,000 troops still waiting to be moved.
If an army of 200,000 were to launch a powerful attack, Cangzhou Prefecture would certainly not be able to hold out for more than a few days!
What worries Commander Huang the most is that the capital city is slow to provide supplies of grain and military pay.
Not only would the city's food and supplies not last long, but even if they wanted to buy more food, they wouldn't have enough money!
This battle is destined to be an unimaginably difficult one!
I really don't know what kind of garbage is in this dog emperor's brain!
Even at this point, you're not worried at all!
.
The exiles walked for two hours under the scorching sun.
The prisoner who was injured a few days ago has not yet fully recovered.
Even though Mu Wanjun had treated the prisoner's injuries beforehand.
However, without medication and due to the constant travel, the injuries could not heal at all, and in severe cases, they even showed signs of worsening.
Especially today, when we are traveling during the hottest part of the day.
Even healthy people can't stand it, and the wounded are even more likely to collapse from exhaustion.
"Hurry up and walk faster! Do you think walking so slowly will shorten the distance or something!"
The yamen runners also had to travel under the scorching sun.
When they were agitated, they would often whip prisoners to vent their emotions.
"Officer, please stop hitting me! I... I really can't walk anymore... Please let me rest for a while..."
The voice just fell.
Chen Zhiheng's vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
The constables thought the man was faking it, so they lashed him twice more with their whips. When they found that he was no longer moving, they stopped.
Guo Xiaodong squatted down and slapped the prisoner's cheek hard. Finding that the man really didn't react, he frowned and walked to the front of the line to report to Xue Bufan.
"Boss, a prisoner has fainted. I took a look, and he's injured. He looks like he's about to die. What should we do?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Bufan glanced back at the stopped procession, dismounted in displeasure, and went to check on the prisoners.
"The team will stop and rest for 15 minutes."
The prisoner's family members were already anxiously surrounding him and weeping.
"Get out of the way, where is he injured?" Xue Bufan asked coldly.
Chen Zhiheng's pregnant wife knelt on the ground with difficulty and kowtowed to Xue Bufan, begging for forgiveness.
"My lord, my lord, please save my husband! He was stabbed in the abdomen by an assassin, and his condition has worsened. He's dying! Please, my lord, find a doctor!"
"Please, please save my father! I beg you, sirs!"
"Waaaaah, Daddy, wake up! Daddy, don't scare Xiaobao, Daddy..."
Xue Bufan glanced at the woman's belly, his eyes flickering slightly.
His previously icy expression softened slightly.
"Why didn't you say so sooner? You only speak up now that it's gotten serious?" Xue Bufan questioned, suppressing his displeasure.
Upon hearing this, Madam Chen trembled slightly, unsure of what to say.
She had no idea her husband was so badly injured.
She only knew that her husband had a wound on his abdomen, but he wouldn't let her see it, fearing that she wouldn't be able to bear it and would hurt herself and the child.
She was already pregnant and was tired from traveling every day, so she didn't have the extra energy to pay attention to her husband and really thought he was fine.
"Waaaaah, I didn't know he was so badly injured. He never lets me see his wounds, waaaaah... I was wrong, I was careless, waaaaah..."
Xue Bufan roughly guessed what the prisoner was thinking and said to Guo Xiaodong, "Have each prisoner take a bowl of water, and all those who are injured step forward. I will have someone come over to check them later."
Upon hearing this, Guo Xiaodong immediately obeyed and did as instructed.
If these wounded soldiers are left to fend for themselves, then these constables will also be punished!
It's important to know that there are death quotas for exile groups.
Those who suffered heavy casualties probably won't be able to return to the capital.
Although the emperor wished for the Xie and Mu families to be wiped out.
But the emperor never expected that all the other exiled prisoners would be sent to their deaths!
Those in power viewed exiled prisoners as valuable resources.
The construction of the exile site relied entirely on the contributions of these exiled prisoners. If all the prisoners died, who would do the heavy work?
Xue Bufan walked to the front of the line and came to Mu Wanjun. He originally wanted to give her a command, but he immediately changed his words.
He almost forgot that he was asking someone for a favor, and not someone who was so obedient.
“Princess Anrong, a patient over there has fainted. Would you please go and help take a look?”
