oth the madam and the young mistress. This news spread throughout the entire ship.From the highest-ranking officials to the lowest serving maids, everyone treated the Li family members with great cour...Toxic!
Wei Erniu and Li Laosi were both terrified. No wonder the Marquis had fainted.
You should know that the Marquis had been injured more seriously than this before. To stabilize the army's morale, he always insisted on returning to his tent for treatment, and that's when everyone found out.
"What should we do" Dr. Sun, usually so composed, was stumped.
“This dagger can be pulled out, but it will take a lot of blood. This poison seems to be like living blood. Perhaps when the dagger is pulled out, all the blood will drain away, and the Lord might not survive! It’s best to detoxify first, then pull out the dagger.”
"There's an antidote pill in the medicine my family sent, isn't there" Wei Erniu was getting frantic, wishing he could fly home and bring back Zhang Shini immediately.
"That won't do, the antidote sent from home can only cure common poisons. The poison in the Marquis is too esoteric. To be honest, if I hadn't served at the Imperial Medical Bureau for a few years, I wouldn't recognize it either..."
Dr. Sun was about to continue speaking when he suddenly came to his senses and immediately stopped.
Wei Erniu was puzzled and urged, "Doctor Sun, why don't you continue Has someone in the palace also been poisoned How was it cured Please tell us quickly!"
Dr. Sun looked at Lao Si Li with a desperate plea in his eyes. Lao Si Li's face was ashen, and he had guessed most of it.
He suppressed his anger, speaking in a low voice, "You must all forget those few words just spoken. Remember, don't speak of them. No one can say anything!"
Having said that, he turned and left. A short while later, he came back in, carrying his waistcoat.
This breastplate was specially made for him by his sweetheart when he went on campaign. If it weren't for his injury, he would wear it every day.
I was so flustered just now that I completely forgot about this life-saving treasure.
He flipped open his vest in a few quick motions, tearing open a small hidden compartment in the lower left corner. Inside were two white spheres about the size of a thumb.
The orb wasn't jade nor porcelain, but very hard. With a squeeze, it cracked open, revealing a small brown pill.
"Feed this to the Lord quickly!"
Dr. Sun took it in his hand, lowered his head to sniff it, and a refreshing scent shot straight to his forehead.
Great stuff!
He held back his excitement and quickly dissolved the pills into water before turning over the marquis and administering it to him.
Everyone stood frozen, their eyes fixed on the lord's left shoulder.
At this time, it was already noisy outside the tent.
Several generals, having perhaps heard the news, were clamoring outside the door for their guards to enter, but they were stopped.
Li Lao Si's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but sneer.
Although the Lord had given a strict order to keep it secret, news has somehow leaked out.
It's clear that the Lord's injury is no ordinary matter!
"Er Niu, go out and have a look. Tell everyone to shut up. If anyone dares to shout or barge in, take them down! Everything awaits the Lord's recovery."
"Yes!" Wei Erniu's heart was burning with distress. If the Marquis hadn't been there to help him, he wouldn't have been so badly injured in the battle against Emu Lek.
If the lord were to meet with any misfortune, he would be too ashamed to live.
He dashed a few steps to the door and threw open the curtain.
Outside the tent, several lieutenants and deputy generals anxiously stretched their legs and peered.
"How is the Lord Hou Where is he injured"
“Yeah, let us in and have a look. That would put our minds at ease!”
"I'm so frustrated!"
Jiang Cheng dragged the crowd behind him, lowering his voice to persuade them, “All of you be quiet, the Lord Hou has issued a gag order. I was nearby just now, the Lord Hou's injuries aren't serious, don't worry!”
Just then, Wei Erniu came out of the tent. Jiang Cheng let out a big sigh of relief and quickly asked, "General Wei, is Lord Houg's injury not serious Everyone is worried about him!"
Wei Erniu was naturally honest and guileless, but after many years in the army, he earned the trust of the Marquis and naturally grew considerably.
He nodded directly and said to the crowd, "The Marquis was injured in the shoulder, it's not serious, he has been treated for the wound and is resting now. Dr. Sun was afraid that the Marquis would be too painful, so he gave him medicine, and he is estimated to sleep for two hours."
"Do whatever you need to do, don't make a fuss over such small things. What if it shakes the morale of the troops If the Marquis wakes up and cleans house, I won't plead for you!"
No one expected Wei Erniu to lie, and so naturally at that, they thought the lord's injury wasn't serious.
Thus, they all felt relieved and after giving each other a few instructions, they went about their business.
Although the soldiers had only heard a few words, they still needed to be soothed as quickly as possible.
Jiang Cheng wiped the sweat from his brow and stood beside Wei Erniu, whispering, "Luckily you came out. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to stop him. The Marquis is the pillar of the army. If anything were to happen to him, heaven itself would collapse."
Just as he was about to turn and lift the tent flap, Wei Ernniu stopped him.
"The lord has fallen asleep, Big Brother Jiang don't go in. Doctor Sun said too many people and noisy voices could affect the lord's recovery. I was even chased out!"
Weisan Niu grabbed Jiang Cheng's shoulders and pulled him back. "I'll go with you to see, make some congee for the Marquis. When the Marquis wakes up, he'll have something in his stomach."
"That's right, I was so eager that I forgot about this!" Jiang Cheng quickly replied, "During the day, the scout camp caught a mountain chicken, just in time for soup. When Your Lordship wakes up, we'll cook a bowl of chicken noodle soup. It's delicious and will fill your stomach."
The two men walked away after saying that, leaving Sun Doctor and Old Li Si in the tent. Their hearts finally felt lighter as most of the bluish-blackness around Lord Hou's wound had faded.
Doctor Sun prepared the surgical instruments and catgut, and disinfected them with alcohol. Then he said to Lao Si Li, "General Si, when you hear my command, you will use the fastest speed to pull out the dagger, absolutely don't hesitate."
Li Laosi tensed his head, hands gripping the hilt of his knife.
Dr. Sun opened a bottle of the best hemostatic powder, poured it onto a handkerchief, and placed it under the wound on his shoulder. Then he took a deep breath and shouted.
Li Lao Si immediately exerted force, and the dagger shot out in an instant.
Indigo-black blood gushed out, quickly turning crimson.
Doctor Sun immediately sprinkled hemostatic powder on the wound and then covered it with a clean cotton strip, pressing down hard.
Soon, the blood soaked through the cloth strip. After pressing another one on top, it finally began to slow down.
"Alright, alright! Half his life is saved!" Doctor Sun was overjoyed. This was truly the most challenging case in his medical career.
If he can't be saved, he will be the sinner of the entire Northern Expeditionary Army, no, of the entire Tianwu!
He quickly stitched the wound, and with each stitch, the bleeding slowed.
Once the wound is medicated and bandaged, it will be considered treated.
Li Laosi's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down in front of the bed.
"Doctor Sun, how is the marquis's injury healing Will there be any complications"
Sun the doctor hesitated for a moment before replying, "Besides times of great change, when a knife cut itches and hurts, even if someone were to wield a blade again, their arms would ache and they wouldn't be able to use much strength."
"But this is already the best outcome. If the blade had gone down any further or even just a little bit to the side, it would have hit his vital organs. Even if he survived, the Lord would be bedridden for the rest of his life..."
Li Lao Si's face was ashen. Witnessing the success of the northern campaign within reach, how could such an unexpected incident occur
"Dr. Sun, could you please wake up the Marquis The entire army is waiting for his orders to make arrangements. Even if he just says a few words before going back to sleep!"
Dr. Sun nodded, this is simple, just two silver needles inserted, and the Marquis would open his eyes...
