Chapter 539 Don't Love Too Humblely

Mu Jiaojiao immediately turned over and sat up. "You have crossed the line by going here. Have you ever thought about the consequences?"

"Let's fight first. Who cares about the consequences at this time? Anyway, in the end, you won't be guilty of death." Cui Pu was so excited that he could let go of the scene of a fight with the barbarians. How could he manage anything else?Soon the armor was put on, and he strode out.

Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly put on some clothes and got out of bed, and sent him to the door. Seeing his figure disappear into the vast night, she shook her head, turned and went back.

It's just that he was destined to not sleep well that night.

Early the next morning, the eldest lady came to say hello, but Cui Pu was nowhere to be found. Seeing that Mr. Da Lang was not there, she immediately asked, "Where is father? Did you go out to fight with brother again?"

"Yes." Mu Jiaojiao nodded.

"Just left last night? You left in such a hurry, is there something important?" In the past two years, I have followed Cui Pu to see real battle scenes, and the eldest lady knew the reason for Cui Pu when she saw the situation. If you don't call her, it must be inconvenient for her to go, then the situation must be very serious.She was inevitably a little anxious.

"That's right! It was the envoy An Jiedu who led his troops outside and was besieged by others. He went to help out." Mu Jiaojiao didn't hide it from her.

The eldest lady's expression froze when she heard this, she pursed her red lips tightly and said nothing more.This day, she snuggled up to Mu Jiaojiao and never left.

On the third day, Cui Pu and Da Langjun were able to turn back.Guo Yi, Li Xiang and several young men came back with them.Of course, they were all wounded.

Over the years, Mu Jiaojiao has become accustomed to such situations.Seeing that they came back, she hurriedly ordered people to prepare medicinal materials to help them bandage their wounds.Cui Pu was naturally in charge of Mu Jiaojiao himself.

While applying medicine to his injured arm, Cui Pu described the situation to her with his other intact arm: "Let me tell you, what happened at the time was really thrilling! The Turks made up their minds this time. He was about to kill him, but he sent 2 people to surround them. An Jiedu envoy thought it was just a small battle, but he brought 1 people with him, and 1000 of them were traitors! The situation can be imagined, when I arrived, the soldiers were all jealous!"

"So you arrived in time to turn the tide?" Mu Jiaojiao asked.

Cui Pu smiled awkwardly: "No."

"Ok?"

"I really want to turn the tide. It's a pity that I still don't have much experience in this kind of large-scale battle. I didn't realize how busy I was when I arrived at the scene. And then the Hengsai Army arrived, and they didn't see much before An Jiedushi Contact, but as soon as the talent arrived, he began to deploy tactics in an orderly manner, and the two teams cooperated just right. On the other hand, I could only stand aside and watch for a long time at the beginning, and finally found a little trick, and quickly brought people to participate Go in." Cui Pu said, his voice getting smaller and smaller, "So although An Jiedushi was rescued in the end, I really don't have much credit for it."

Not only did he not do much merit, but he also injured his arm.

Mu Jiaojiao couldn't help but stop laughing.

Cui Pu also knew that he was not honored today, so he lowered his head: "I have been commanding the troops under my tent to deal with Tubo and Turks all these years, and most of them have succeeded. I thought I already had the level of a general. But today This battle made me understand that what I know is to command a small group of people to fight alone. Once the scene gets bigger and more people are involved, I can’t do anything about it. I’m still too young!"

Even, his ability in coordinating operations is not as good as Guo Yan and Li Xiang, who are only in their twenties.

This is what frustrates him the most.

Is not this nonsensical?You are a monk who has become a monk halfway, and you have only started to take charge of the military in the past few years, and those methods are all slowly explored by yourself.And Guo Min and the others are from a military family, and they have followed their elders on the battlefield since they were young. They have learned their tactics and strategies through personal practice. Aren't they more down-to-earth than you?
To put it bluntly, she already thought it was good enough that he was able to lead people out of the way today.

But seeing that he was already deeply hurt, Mu Jiaojiao didn't hit him any more, and only said softly: "It's a good thing to be aware of your own shortcomings. When you think about it later, you feel that where you were defeated, there is another What areas need improvement, analyze them clearly, and then conquer them one by one. You don’t have to compare with those who have been hanging out in the military camp since childhood. As long as tomorrow’s self is better than today’s, that’s all. enough!"

"You're right! Now that I've found a deficiency, I'll just fill it in. There's still a chance, and I still have time to improve slowly!" Cui Pu was deeply encouraged, and hurriedly nodded yes.

The two were talking inside, but they heard a commotion outside.It seems that the voice of the eldest lady can be heard vaguely.

Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao looked at each other, Cui Pu immediately stood up.But Mu Jiaojiao pushed him back: "You stay here honestly, I'll go take a look." Then he turned around and left.

Outside, Mr. Da Lang, Guo Yan, Li Xiang, and several seriously injured young people gathered together, and Hong Dou led a group of maids and servants to clean their wounds.

However, now these people all stood up, looking at a pair of boys and girls who were confronting coldly over there with strange expressions—the eldest lady and Li Xiang.

"It's for your own good too. Your arm is almost broken, it would be better to hang it with a bandage." The eldest lady whispered.

"No need. It's just a small injury. It will be fine in two days." Li Xiang said.

The eldest lady was so anxious that her eyes were red. "I'm doing it for your own good too. Why don't you listen? Do you have to wait until this arm is crippled before giving up?"

Li Xiang didn't start. "I've suffered this kind of injury many times, aren't they all healed?"

"But I didn't see it before, but this time I saw it, I can't let you treat it carelessly!"

"My injury, I can make up my mind freely, don't worry about it!"

"You!" The eldest lady clenched her fists angrily, "Li Xiang, don't bite Lu Dongbin, you don't know good people!"

"I really don't need your kindness." Li Xiang said coldly.

In the eyes of the eldest lady, two teardrops as big as beans were clearly seen swirling.

"What's going on?" Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao spoke up immediately.

Everyone is familiar with Mu Jiaojiao. In recent years, Mu Jiaojiao has been going to various armies almost every year to help everyone check the level of military doctors, so naturally he also has contact with everyone.So seeing Mu Jiaojiao coming, the group of young people got up and saluted one after another.

Li Xiang is no exception.

Seeing A Niang coming, the eldest lady finally stopped her tears and called softly: "A Niang."

Mu Jiaojiao continued to ask: "What's going on?"

The eldest lady said: "I said that his bone was injured, and it's better to put a splint on it to protect it carefully, but he didn't listen. He didn't care what I said, he insisted on doing it his own way!"

Mu Jiaojiao looked at Li Xiang again, and Li Xiang lowered his head: "It's just a small injury, it's really nothing."

"You don't know medical skills, so of course you don't think it's a big deal. But when it comes to treating illnesses, I think it's better for you to follow the doctor's orders. The doctor knows best what's best for you." Mu Jiaojiao said calmly.

Li Xiang stopped talking, and the eldest lady's eyes sparkled.

After saying this, Mu Jiaojiao said again: "Since you don't believe in the medical skills of the eldest lady, let me show you!"

Mu Jiaojiao is the elder.She had already made such a request, and Li Xiang didn't dare to delay, so he obediently asked her to check his wound.

Mu Jiaojiao checked her carefully, and then said: "Your arm has been injured many times, bruised, lacerated, and broken. Fortunately, you are still young, and the military doctor treated it in time, so now It can still be as flexible as before. However, since what happened, it will definitely leave traces. Now, every time it is rainy, do you still feel a dull pain at the broken place before?"

Li Xiang nodded. "yes."

"This is your body warning you that it can no longer withstand your desperate toss. It has been damaged for you so many times and has become weaker than normal bones. You should take good care of it. This time your injury is indeed not serious, but because the wound is near the previous break, it is better to be more careful. You don’t want to suffer from the root cause of the disease at a young age, and you can no longer go to the battlefield at the age of 30, right?”

Li Xiang's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

"Is it really that serious?"

"What do you think?"

Li Xiang nodded quickly: "Then I'll put on a splint and bandage it up!"

The eldest lady became overjoyed immediately when she heard this, and hastily called for someone to bring the splint and gauze, as if she wanted to bandage him herself.When Li Xiang saw this, there was another hint of resistance in his eyes.

Mu Jiaojiao saw it, and grabbed the hand of the eldest lady: "Come with me."

The eldest lady was about to reach out to grab the splint, she looked at Mu Jiaojiao puzzledly: "Aniang, can we talk about things later?"

"No. I have something to tell you now." Mu Jiaojiao said coldly, and dragged her away.

Seeing this, Hongdou hurried forward: "Li Langjun, let the maidservant come and splint you!"

"Okay, thank you very much." Li Xiang quickly breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked her respectfully.

Hongdou smiled slightly, then lowered her head and got busy.

Mu Jiaojiao brought the eldest lady inside, but instead of going to where Cui Pu was, she went directly into her living room.

"Auntie, what did you bring me here for?" The eldest lady hadn't flown here so far, and couldn't help but look back frequently.

Mu Jiaojiao picked up a mirror and handed it to her: "Look at what you look like now!"

The eldest lady took it over in confusion, and when she saw the little lady with red eyes and anxious face reflected in it, she was stunned.

Mu Jiaojiao's cold voice came immediately: "Look at yourself, do you still have the grace and calmness of the little lady of the Cui family in Boling? Do you still have the dignity and generosity that a lady should have?"

The eldest lady lowered her head in shame.

Mu Jiaojiao went on to say: "As a woman, you are already weak enough, so when it comes to dealing with others, you need to stick to your own position and be upright first, so that others can look at you seriously. Especially when it comes to men and women, Even country girls shouldn't love so humblely, otherwise it would be a blasphemy to yourself, and a blasphemy to your relationship. In a relationship, if a man and a woman can't even look at each other the most basic equality Come on, then you should give up! You can't lose yourself just to be nice to someone. "

These words were like a thunderbolt exploding above her head, causing the eldest lady's body to tense up suddenly.

Mu Jiaojiao patted her on the head again: "You have grown up and have your own ideas. Neither I nor your father will stop you from doing what you want. But, if you want to humiliate yourself like this, I will The first one doesn't agree. I would rather take you by my side for the rest of my life, and I will never allow you to go to a man and spoil yourself into what you are now!"

After that, she turned and left.

The eldest lady stood there blankly for a long time before she slowly came back to her senses.

Turning her head to look, she was alone in the living room, Mu Jiaojiao had already left and took everyone away.

The eldest lady gathered herself together, then turned around and walked back slowly.

Back in the front hall, Li Xiang's arm had been fixed with a splint and hung around his neck with gauze.Guo Xi and the other teenagers had already cleaned up the wounds, and they were talking quietly together.

Seeing the eldest lady appear, Li Xiang's eyes flickered slightly, and he turned his head away quickly, but the young men burst into laughter.

The eldest lady couldn't help lowering her eyes, and slowly walked over.It's just that she passed Li Xiang and his party, but listened to Mr. Da Lang.

"Has the wound been bandaged? Does it still hurt?" She asked softly.

"It still hurts a little." Seeing her appearing beside him, Mr. Da Lang was a little dazed.

The eldest lady said: "It's okay, I'll ask someone to make your favorite red bean cake, and you won't feel any pain after eating it." After that, she looked back at those people, "Let's prepare a portion for you too! "

Then Shi Shi ran away.

His face was indifferent, his back was straight, and he had an aloof demeanor that rejected people thousands of miles away, which inexplicably made the group of laughing teenagers put away their smiles.

While watching her figure leave, Li Xiang's hazy eyes suddenly dimmed, and a strange look disappeared in a flash.
