C1 (1/2)
In the spring of the third year, Zhou Leping won a battle. He killed a man named Ji Tian Wu with a single sword strike and made the king of Yu Yu state flee in panic. A bunch of soldiers were running for their lives as Wu Yu invaded the borders of the State Of Zhao for many years, only to fall at Zhou Leping's hands in the end.
The news of Zhou Leping's injury spread throughout the palace along with the news of him being injured. The emperor had ordered for the selection of famous doctors, but there were very few who responded.
Firstly, he didn't know where the general was injured. If he couldn't see the person, he wouldn't be able to make a diagnosis. If he didn't treat his injuries, it would be equivalent to losing his life.
Secondly, even if he was cured well and received the reward, he would still be sent to battle with the army in the future. He would be separated from his family thousands of miles away and be on the battlefield filled with swords, spears, swords, and halberds, his life would still be in danger.
Three days had passed since the Royal Board was posted, and no one dared to announce it. The Emperor was enraged.
Finally, on the day that Zhou Leping returned to the capital to report his news, a young man broke the rankings.
Zhou Leping led the group of two thousand back to the capital. In order to avoid suspicion, the two thousand soldiers were stationed at the Peach Blossom Col that was two kilometers away from the capital.
When Zhu Guanliang rushed to the General's Estate according to the order, he had already fainted from the pain.
She had been wounded by an arrow and was half an inch short of being pierced. The arrow had been taken out, but the arrow was still in her body, it was poisonous, the flesh around the wound had rotted, the arrow was embedded in a pile of rotting flesh, and if she wanted to take it out, she could only dig it out.
It was easy to treat a wound, but the poison was hard to treat. When he thought about the method to cure her poison, he couldn't help but frown as his gaze fell on her face.
He looked like a bandit, with rough skin and a pitch-black luster. He had a scar on his brow, and his eyebrows were very thick. His facial features looked quite normal at first glance, but when put together, it was an indescribable ugliness on his face.
He rarely used the word ugly to describe a woman, but Zhou Leping's appearance made it difficult for him to muster the courage to take a second glance at her.
Forget it, saving others was the most important thing.
He covered her with the blanket and was amazed at the difference in her skin color. He had seen her when he took off her clothes, she was as strong as an ox. No wonder she was able to last until she came back.
”Excuse me …” He washed his hands and opened the door. While carefully cleaning the room with the handkerchief, he looked around, his gaze landing on a maidservant. ”Bring me a jar of wine.”
”What for?”
The man that Gu Guanbo had brought was Zhou Leping's elder brother, Zhou Leqi. Behind him was Zhou Leping's younger sister, Zhou Lean, who was also extremely beautiful. The whole family had the same face and looks, but she was the only one with a fiendish, ugly face.
”Take the arrows.” Zhu Guanliang retracted his gaze, and looked around. Seeing the dagger at Qi Si's waist, he took the opportunity to ask, ”May I borrow it?”
Qi Si raised his fist wanting to attack, but was blocked, ”How are my general's injuries?”
Zhu Guanliang shook his head, ”Not good, if you cannot find the antidote, within two days you will die from the poison.”
”You are a doctor who has debunked the emperor's ranking. If you can't treat my family's general, there's no need to wait for the emperor to make a move. Your father will first chop you into mincemeat and feed it to the dogs. Do you hear me?”
