Chapter 66: Xu Huan, Xu Gongming

  This movement quickly startled Xu Shu, who was sleeping soundly. Rubbing her eyes sleepily, she suddenly came to her senses.

  Wang Xuzheng smiled as he looked at her, his big eyes blinking rapidly before suddenly revealing a look of surprise. He bombarded her with questions: "Husband, you're finally awake? Are you thirsty? Do you need water? Why aren't you talking, are you hungry? Of course, you haven't eaten for three days, just had some sugar water, how could you not be hungry?! Don't move around, I'll go get you some congee, it's been ready for a while!"

  Having said that, he didn't wait for Wang Xu's reaction and hastily ran out of the room.

  Wang Xu wanted to reach out and pull, but as soon as his hand moved slightly, a severe pain spread throughout his body. By the time he came to, Xu Shu had already run off without a trace, leaving him to shake his head in bitter laughter.

  Gao Shun and Zhou Zhi had stopped talking as soon as Xu Shu woke up, and after hearing Xu Shu's rapid speech, they hastily ran out, only turning back now.

  "Hmm! Boss, it's still the big sister who is good! The first thing is your diet and daily life, no wonder you always look at me with disapproval, after all, it's because I, this little brother, didn't do a good job! It seems that in the future, I need to learn more from Big Sister."

  "Get out of here! I'm disgusted..."

  Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhi suddenly burst into tears and wailed: "Big brother, you're really hurting my fragile heart by saying that. I had deep feelings for you..."

  Before he could finish speaking, Gao Shun, who couldn't bear it anymore, directly grabbed his collar and threw him to one side.

  Wang Xu finally calmed down and couldn't help but smile gratefully at Gao Shun, then asked: "Gao Shun, how is the battle going?"

  "Haha! General, don't worry, the great victory at Changsha has been won. Generals Huangfu and Zhu Zan, along with Cao's troops, have taken advantage of the momentum to pursue and kill the enemy. It's already been three days now, they should be back soon to rest."

  "Oh! That's great." Upon hearing the news of victory, Wang Xu also put his mind at ease.

  "Has that hidden Yellow Turban troop come out?"

  "They emerged soon after the fire broke out that night, and almost all of them were heavily armed cavalry with extremely strong combat effectiveness! General Sun had set up an ambush, but still suffered heavy losses. If it weren't for General Huangfu rushing to reinforce with his troops, I'm afraid the outcome would have been disastrous. Currently, General Sun is also recovering from injuries within Changsha City!"

  Gao Shun couldn't help but sigh and say, "If it weren't for General Wang's early preparation, I really can't imagine what would have happened if they had suddenly attacked our army from behind. I heard that Huangfu General has made a special report to the emperor to praise your achievement, but I don't know the details."

  Wang Xu heard this and smiled indifferently: "It doesn't matter about showing off, as long as we win it's all good!"

  Ke Haoshun nodded slowly, his face full of worry, and continued: "Although we defeated one of the main forces of the Yellow Turbans, according to the latest intelligence, the current situation in various places is still not optimistic! During our siege of Changsha, Zhang Mancheng of Nanyang beheaded Governor Che Gong and has been besieging Princes' City for dozens of days. The Yellow Turbans of Runan defeated Governor Zhao Qian in Shaoling, and those in Guangyang are even more rampant, successively killing Governor Guo Xun of Youzhou and Governor Liu Wei."

  Upon hearing this news, Wang Xu also secretly sighed, but he didn't worry like Gao Shun did. After all, he had already known about these events from the "Zizhi Tongjian" in his past life.

  "Oh no! Why are you talking about this again? You just woke up and need to take care of yourself!" Along with her words, Xu brought over a bowl of clear porridge, walking quickly, and gave Wang Xuan a scolding glance.

  Gao Shun heard this and immediately retreated awkwardly. Wang Xu, on the other hand, laughed and said: "I'm not that fragile, getting injured a bit in battle is inevitable!"

  "Is that what you call a little hurt? You almost lost half your life, if it was really that easy, why were you lying on the ground that night screaming don't bury me alive?"

  Facing Xu Shu's scolding, Wang Xu suddenly became speechless and obediently followed Xu Shu's orders, eating the clear porridge that was fed to him.

  But Zhou Zhiyi, who had finally calmed down, immediately found his voice again and jumped over with a smile on his face.

  "Boss, honestly, that line of yours was really too shocking. How did you suddenly come up with it? Or is it true as I guessed, are you pretending to be dead?"

  Wang Xu was taken aback, almost spitting out his food on the spot. After swallowing hard, he immediately cursed: "You bastard, do you think everyone is like you? If you have the ability, let me shoot three arrows and chop a few knives, I'll see how you pretend to be dead!"

  As soon as he heard this, Zhou Zhi's head shook hastily like a rattle drum! He repeatedly waved his hand and said: "Forget it, boss, I don't have a masochistic tendency!"

  He gave Zhou Zhi a loud scolding, and then Wang Xu continued in anger: "At first I was dizzy and passed out, later the sound of horseshoes shocked me into a daze, during which I heard you all thought I was dead, afraid that you would bury me alive, so I held my breath for one last gasp and shouted out that sentence!"

  "Huh? I just heard you say that and thought you weren't afraid of death, but it turns out to be the same principle after all!"

  "Huh? Master, what are you going to do again?"

  To avoid Zhou Zhi continuing to stimulate Wang Xu, Gao Shun once again ruthlessly grabbed his collar and threw him out...

  "By the way, where's Second Brother?" Seeing that he still hadn't seen Wang Fei's figure, Wang Xu couldn't help but ask.

  "You can rest assured and eat! Yesterday, Xu Huan said he knew a medicine for treating injuries that was better than the ointment in the army, but there were several medicines that couldn't be found in Changsha City, so Second Brother went with him to search for them in the mountains. They should be back soon!"

  Suddenly hearing a strange yet familiar name, Wang Xu's eyes wandered as he asked, "Xu Huan?"

  "It's the young man who will fight with you to the end!"

  "Ah...!" Wang Xu heard this and the porridge in his mouth was finally spat out, his eyes widened instantly, and he couldn't stop coughing: "Cough! Cough... Did you say his name is Xuhuang?"

  However, due to the large movement of his body, the wound was suddenly pulled, and Wang Xu immediately let out a painful hum.

  Seeing Wang Xu's painful expression, Xue Shu suddenly scolded: "I told you to stop moving around, it serves you right!"

  Although his mind was still uneasy, Wang Xu did indeed dare not make another move. He only asked excitedly: "Is he really called Xú Huáng?"

  Xu Shu naturally knew what he was excited about, looking at him being hurt like this but still having a green light in his eyes, and suddenly shook his head helplessly.

  He sighed and slowly continued, "That's right, he is Xu Huan! To be exact, his real name should be Xu Huan, courtesy name Gongming, from Yang County in Hedong. But in the army, he uses a fake name, Xu Ming..."

  Watching the conversation between Wang Xu and Xue Shu, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but laugh secretly on the side, while Gao Shun was full of confusion. He really didn't understand why Wang Xu's emotions changed so much as soon as he heard that person's name. However, he was somewhat familiar with the green light in Wang Xu's eyes, and it seemed to be the same when he first met Wang Xu...
