“I’m fine.” Xiao Qirui looked up at the mess around him and instructed his deputy general, “Bring people to count the casualties. Remember to register the names of the brothers who died.”

The registration of names was not only to send an obituary to the families of the soldiers who had died, but also to report it to the imperial court so that they could distribute the pension.

The deputy general’s eyes turned red and he choked. “Yes.”

Xiao Qirui pursed his lips and turned around to carry a seriously injured soldier onto a stretcher.

“Thank you, General.” The injured soldier thanked him weakly.

Xiao Qirui patted his shoulder. “Rest well.”

This place was too close to the city wall and was not suitable for recuperation. These people had to be sent back to the infirmary in the camp.

Just as everyone was cleaning up the scene in an orderly manner, a carriage suddenly appeared in everyone’s sight. The carriage stopped and a young girl jumped out.

The soldiers took a glance and continued with their work, as if they were already used to the girl’s appearance.

The girl walked straight to Xiao Qirui’s side and said with concern, “Brother

Xiao, I heard that you were injured.”

Xiao Qirui did not look up. He used a wooden board to help a soldier stabilize his injured leg and instructed the person beside him, “Carry him back. Be careful.”

“Yes.” The man picked up the injured soldier and left.

Seeing that Xiao Qirui was walking towards the other injured soldiers, the girl reached out to pull him back anxiously. “Brother Xiao, you’re injured. Come back with me quickly.”

Xiao Qirui turned his body to avoid her hand and finally raised his head.

However, he had no intention of talking to her. “Someone, invite Young General Meng over.”

The Young General Meng he was talking about was Meng Shaoyuan, the eldest son of General Meng Wu, who was stationed at Nanling Pa.s.s.

The girl in front of him was none other than General Meng’s youngest daughter, Meng Linlang.

Apart from these two people, General Meng also had a daughter named Meng Linyan, who was ranked second in the Meng family.

Meng Linlang said aggrievedly, “I’m concerned about you. Why did you get someone to invite my brother over?”

“What else can I do? Of course he’s asking Young General Meng to take you away.” The soldier who was bandaging the injured soldier sneered.

As soon as she said this, everyone paused.

“You’re really daring.” they thought.

However, she was right. General Xiao clearly ignored her, but this Second Miss of the Meng family was still sticking to him.

Every time, Young General Meng had to take action to chase them away.

Meng Linlang blushed and berated, “How dare you? Who do you think you are? Who are you to interrupt me when I’m talking to Brother Xiao?”

Song Huan clapped her hands, indicating that the two people standing at the side with the stretcher could carry the injured soldiers away. Song Jinghuan was disguised as a man, and went by the name Song Huan.

She stood up and said bluntly, “Who do you think you are? Our general was appointed by the Imperial Court. His status is the same as your father’s. You don’t even need to address him respectfully when you see him. You even call him Brother Xiao. Your brother’s surname is Meng, not Xiao.”

Meng Linlang flew into a rage out of humiliation and said, “That’s between

Brother Xiao and me.”

The soldier rolled her eyes. “Do you think our general cares about you?”

Meng Linlang couldn’t win against her. She stomped her feet and looked at

Xiao Qirui. “Brother Xiao, look at him…”

“Song Huan is right. Miss Meng should call me General Xiao.” Xiao Qirui finally stopped ignoring her. He thought of something and frowned unhappily. “The battlefield depends on military achievements, not anyone’s family background. Song Huan has just been promoted to a junior general. Miss Meng should call him Lieutenant Song or Captain Song..”
