Chapter 220 Yu
After a moment's thought, the boy said, "Let the accompanying military doctor take a look first."
After saying that, he casually waved his hand, indicating that the matter should be put aside for the time being, and then continued to bury himself in studying the things in his hands.
Upon receiving the order, the guards quickly turned and left to carry it out. They were already quite used to this kind of situation.
Although this prince appears ruthless and decisive on the surface, he is actually quite kind and benevolent at heart.
This protracted war has lasted for a year.
During these long periods of time, His Highness saved countless elderly, weak, women and children on the battlefield.
Even if the other party is from an enemy country, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not hesitate to lend a helping hand.
Over time, he came to be respected and admired by everyone in the military.
Just like today, when they encountered a child on the battlefield, these people reported it immediately without stopping.
Large, fluffy snowflakes fell incessantly in the camp, turning the world into a pristine white expanse, as if draping the entire world in a thick layer of silver.
Braving the bitter cold, the soldiers busily moved through the snow, methodically tidying up the battlefield where the battle had just ended.
On the battlefield, the mountains of corpses were a horrifying sight. These once vibrant lives had now become cold and stiff, exuding a nauseating stench of blood.
However, the soldiers did not flinch or show any fear. They suppressed their grief and discomfort and silently carried the bodies to the designated location for proper handling.
And so the soldiers worked from nightfall until the next morning, finally completing this arduous and demanding task. By then, the sun had risen, but the sky remained overcast, and the cold wind was biting.
"Your Highness."
"Your Highness."
Just then, the soldiers responsible for clearing the battlefield at the camp gate saw Xiao Yuheng walk out of the tent, and they quickly put down their tools and respectfully saluted and greeted him.
Despite his young age, Xiao Yuheng stood with his hands behind his back, head held high, and chest out, his steps steady and powerful. His demeanor exuded a mature and composed air, quite like that of a great general.
Hearing the soldiers' greetings, he nodded slightly and replied softly, "Hmm." Then he continued walking forward.
As they walked, Xiao Yuheng seemed to suddenly remember something, abruptly stopped, turned around, and looked sharply at one of the soldiers, asking, "Where is that person from yesterday's battlefield?"
The soldier being questioned dared not be negligent in the slightest and quickly replied, "Your Highness, that person is currently receiving treatment at Doctor Hu's office."
After receiving the reply, Xiao Yuheng nodded and stepped forward again. He was dressed in a light blue brocade robe, the hem of which fluttered in the wind; a white belt inlaid with jade was tied around his waist, which made his figure appear even taller and more slender; a jade pendant, clear and flawless with a warm luster, hung from the belt, swaying gently as he walked, occasionally reflecting a faint light.
Before we even got close to where Dr. Hu was, a commotion could be heard from afar.
"Where am I? Let me go back, let me go back!"
A childish voice shouted loudly, sounding very anxious and frightened.
"Young master, please be patient. Everything depends on His Highness's decision."
Another calm voice patiently persuaded, "How dare you! Do you know who I am? Let me go immediately, or my father will not let you off the hook!"
"Nonsense! How dare you act so recklessly here..." Doctor Hu was furious and about to continue his reprimand, but he stopped abruptly.
Just then, the curtain of the main tent was suddenly lifted, and a figure strode in.
After Dr. Hu recognized the visitor, his expression changed instantly. He hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and prepared to pay his respects.
Seeing this, the man simply raised his hand slightly and waved it gently, indicating that Dr. Hu did not need to be so polite.
Hu Junyi understood immediately, bowed and took his leave, and left the tent in the blink of an eye.
The once noisy tent fell silent in an instant. Suddenly ignored, the person lying on the bed couldn't help but feel curious. He turned his head with difficulty and looked behind him.
Upon seeing this, he froze, his gaze fixed on the man who had just entered, his face full of suspicion, and asked, "And who are you?"
The man raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, his eyes sharp as he scanned the person in front of him from head to toe.
The man was thin and frail, as if a gust of wind could blow him over. He looked as weak and frail as an eleven or twelve-year-old child.
Surprisingly, a stubborn glint in the man's eyes piqued his curiosity.
The man stared at him with interest and slowly said, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you that? A mere brat like you dares to come to this war-torn battlefield. Don't you know how dangerous it is here?"
Hearing the other person belittle him like that, the boy felt a surge of resentment. He raised his chin defiantly and retorted loudly, "Hmph! You're the one who's a child! I'm already fifteen years old, not some immature brat!"
The boy's slightly immature voice reached Xiao Yuheng's ears, causing him to pause slightly.
Fifteen years old? After examining him closely, he thought to himself that the child looked to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old. It must be due to long-term malnutrition that he was so thin.
"What's your name?"
Xiao Yuheng asked casually, but his gaze did not linger on the person in front of him. Instead, it was fixed on the jade pendant worn at his waist.
With just one glance, he could easily tell that the jade pendant was of extraordinary value.
The jade pendant was crystal clear and smooth, with a finely carved character "裕" (Yu) on it, its strokes flowing and powerful.
The word seemed to possess some kind of mysterious magic, causing Xiao Yuheng to involuntarily furrow his brow slightly.
