Ever since General Shen was hit by an arrow, he has been in a coma. Although the doctor has treated him and comes to check on him every day and says that General Shen's life is safe, he has not woken up yet. Ye Feng and the other soldiers are all worried.
Although General Shen had always been the god of war of Liang State, he suffered a crushing defeat this time, and Prime Minister Liu and his gang in the court looked down on General Shen. But in the hearts of the soldiers, he was still the god of war General Shen who charged into battle with them and led them to repel the enemy time and time again.
On this day, the doctor came to check General Shen's pulse as usual. Ye Feng stood quietly by the side, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the doctor.
After a few breaths, the doctor let go of General Shen's wrist and covered him with a blanket.
"Doctor, how is the general?" As soon as the doctor left General Shen, Ye Feng stepped forward anxiously and asked. He was afraid that General Shen would not wake up. If that happened, he would not be able to face the emperor and the virtuous concubine.
"It looks like the pulse is stable, so there shouldn't be anything serious." The doctor said slowly, stroking his gray beard.
It was the same answer from yesterday. The doctor had been saying the same thing over the past few days. Ye Feng's ears were almost callused from hearing it, but General Shen had not woken up yet.
Although Ye Feng was anxious, he couldn't complain to the doctor, so he could only send the doctor away in a nice manner.
After sending the doctor away, Ye Feng just arrived outside General Shen's room when he heard a faint cough coming from the room.
There was no one else in General Shen's room, so could this coughing sound mean that the general had woken up? Thinking of this, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and rushed to his bedside in a few steps.
At this time, General Shen was bending over and trying to sit up from the bed. He was startled by the sound of Ye Feng pushing the door open. Before he could react, Ye Feng had already arrived in front of him.
Seeing him wake up, I finally felt relieved. No matter what, General Shen is still alive, which is the best thing for him.
General Shen was also looking at Ye Feng at this time, but his vision was still a little blurry due to his serious injuries, so he couldn't see the person in front of him clearly. But he only saw that he had a righteous face, a resolute look, strong limbs, and walked with a steady pace. Although he was wearing ordinary soldier's clothes, he could tell at a glance that he was a master.
General Shen, who had experienced many battles, had a keen eye. Of course, he also noticed that Ye Feng was different. He asked softly, "Young man, you are not an ordinary soldier, right? Why are you the only one guarding me?"
Although he could see that Ye Feng was different from others, General Shen was not worried. If Ye Feng wanted to harm him, he could have done it while he was unconscious, without having to wait until now.
"General, you have a good eye. Nothing can be hidden from you." Ye Feng laughed heartily.
"To be honest with you, General, I am Ye Feng, the imperial guard in the palace. I'm here to protect you on the orders of Concubine Xian. Before this, I had been hiding among the ordinary soldiers and failed to protect you well. I hope you can forgive me!" Ye Feng continued, with an apologetic tone in his voice.
"You don't have to blame yourself. Injuries are inevitable in war. It's not your fault." General Shen was very open-minded and didn't mean to blame him. There was still a trace of warmth in his heart. He knew that Ye Feng was the emperor's first guard and he couldn't leave the palace whenever he wanted. At least he had to have the emperor's permission. He was afraid that the emperor had his intentions behind this.
Although he was fighting at a disadvantage on the border, the emperor not only did not abandon him, but also sent his first guard to protect his safety. As a subject, how could he not dare to move
Although General Shen is a general, he does not have the airs of a general at all. Ye Feng is also very understanding, and the two of them have a very pleasant conversation together.
"After I was shot and fell unconscious that day, how was the war on the border? How were the soldiers?" General Shen suddenly asked. In fact, this was what he had always wanted to say.
When he thought of the situation on the border, and the blood and corpses of Liang soldiers everywhere, Ye Feng couldn't help but frown. However, General Shen had been in a coma for many days and had just woken up. Worried that he would be upset, Ye Feng did not plan to tell General Shen. But he couldn't make up a lie to deceive General Shen, so Ye Feng had to remain silent.
General Shen had been quietly waiting for Ye Feng's answer. Neither of them spoke for a while, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became depressing.
Looking at Ye Feng's expression, General Shen had already guessed that there would be another major defeat at the border.
Thinking of the Liang soldiers who were killed and the people who were forced to leave their homes, General Shen felt extremely guilty and couldn't help but shed tears.
"It's all my incompetence!" General Shen pounded the bed with one hand, his face full of grief and indignation. He hated that spy, who had betrayed them time and again, causing them to lose battles one after another, with heavy casualties among the soldiers. He hated himself for being incompetent, watching the spy betray his country time and time again, but he couldn't find him, and hated himself for not being able to save the defeat.
Seeing this, Ye Feng hurriedly comforted him: "General, don't get too excited. Your health is important. When you recover, we will find the spy together. By then, we will get back our losses tenfold or a hundredfold!"
Under Ye Feng's comfort, General Shen's emotions finally calmed down slowly: "Okay, okay, when I recover from my illness, I will find the traitor and make him pay for the lives of the soldiers who died in Daliang!"
"General, don't worry, we will definitely find him." Ye Feng continued to comfort General Shen and helped him lie back on the bed.
Soon, a slight snoring sound was heard. Ye Feng looked at the bed and found that the old general had fallen asleep. His chest was rising and falling regularly. Although his face was a little pale, he was generally healthy. Ye Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at General Shen with a firm expression and determination in his eyes, and secretly vowed to catch the spy. If it weren't for that hateful spy, they wouldn't have suffered repeated defeats, heavy losses, and would not have fallen to this point. Everything was because of that traitor.
At this time, Shen Qingwan in the palace had also received news from the border. She learned that there had been another great defeat and her father was injured and unconscious. She was extremely worried. She did not expect that even with Ye Feng's protection, her father was still seriously injured.
However, although she was very worried about General Shen's safety, she remained indifferent in front of other people and did not show it.
As the emperor's concubine, it was impossible for her to go to the battlefield. Even if she could, the emperor would not allow her to go. She could only pray for her father with the soldiers on the border in the palace every day, hoping to get good news soon.
