Work overtime

Chapter 799

The water in the tub was from a deep well, and it was refreshingly cool. Meng Shu couldn't let Tana continue soaking in the cold water.

When he tried to stand up and pick up Tana, the problem became even greater. Even so, he was able to pull away with willpower, wipe her dry, carry her to the bed, and cover her with a quilt, but Tana hugged her neck and kissed her on the lips.

His mind went blank, and he turned and walked away. Unexpectedly, Tana jumped down, rushed to him, and hugged him warmly...

No matter how hard he pushed, he couldn't push the person away, and the effect of the drug began to take effect violently.

Everyone who was eavesdropping was shocked. General Meng was nearly sixty years old and still so powerful? Terrifying.

Mengfa was both excited and angry that his brother had dared to lie to him. He was so sad that he planned to give his youngest son to his brother.

Tana believed that love would grow over time, and Meng Shu would fall in love with her sooner or later, and only her.

Meng Shu was upset and conflicted afterwards. He only had Jiang Yuebai in his heart, but Tana was promised to him by Jiang Yuebai, and she was deeply in love with him and passionate about him.

The next day, Tana was unable to get up to pay respects to the Empress Dowager. Jiang Yuebai simply left a doctor to take care of her. He went to the Liaodong Protectorate with Xiaojiu.

The former Liaodong Protectorate was located in Liaodong Town. Later, in order to facilitate the division of responsibilities, the Liaodong Protectorate was deliberately moved north.

When they reached a place between the two places, they were ambushed by the Jurchens who were hiding in the nearby dense forests. This made it inconvenient to provide support from both ends.

Because he had anticipated this situation, Xiaojiu had arranged troops to ambush and support the enemy, but they were defeated by the cunning Jurchen anti-Ming leader Ahachu. When Xiaojiu arrived with his troops, the ambushers were all Jurchens.

"It's Ahachu!" The Ninth Prince frowned when he saw the familiar figure appear in his sight. He turned around and rode to Jiang Yuebai's carriage, lifted the curtain and said, "Mother, stay in the carriage and don't come out. It's Ahachu, the most brutal leader of the Jurchen rebels."

"Xiaojiu, you have to be careful."

Although Xiaojiu's men were equipped with advanced firearms and used the biological weapon Mihunsan, and although Jianzhou Wei's commander Mengge Timur came to rescue him, the enemy had almost 2,000 men, outnumbering them, and they all rode tall horses, were good at riding and shooting, and were also equipped with firearms. They ran very fast, had a wide range of activities, and ran left and right. Few of the Ming Dynasty's soldiers had the ability and courage to attack in close combat, so Mihunsan did not play a big role.

At the same time, both sides were in a melee, and grenades and explosive packs were useless.

The rebel leader Ahachu was an expert archer, known for his ability to shoot through the target every time. He also harbored great hatred for the Han people who had occupied their Jurchen territory, so he was extremely ruthless and ferocious in his attacks.

When two armies meet, the bravest wins. The other side was a group of desperate criminals with hatred in their hearts. Under such circumstances, although there were weapons of mass destruction such as the Ecstasy Powder, Xiao Jiu's men gradually fell into a disadvantage, with many casualties.

Jiang Yuebai saw all this through the gap in the carriage curtain. How could she just sit there and wait for death? After putting on the golden dragon cloak and preparing her weapons and equipment, she got off the carriage and rode her own exclusive mount "Tess".

Ah Ha was very excited when he saw Jiang Yuebai. "That's the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty! It was she who caused our family to be destroyed and we are now homeless!"

After saying that, he drew his bow and shot an arrow at Jiang Yuebai. Jiang Yuebai also took out his gun and aimed at Ah Hachu.

"Mother!" The Ninth Prince was shocked.

The Ninth Prince rode over in a hurry, not daring to push his mother away. He stood in front of Jiang Yuebai and blocked the arrow that was flying at him. At almost the same time, Jiang Yuebai fired several shots in the direction of Ah Hachu, hitting Ah Hachu and knocking him off his horse to the ground, spitting blood.

The Ninth Prince covered his chest with his hands and fell off his horse to the ground.

Jiang Yuebai was heartbroken, but he did not forget to raise his arms and shout to the soldiers, "Ahachu has been killed by me, everyone charge! Avenge the dead soldiers! Kill!"

Her voice was passionate and firm, full of the will to win, and there was no panic at all about her son being shot.

Jiang Yuebai raised the musket in his hand and ordered the guards who followed him, "Take good care of the Ninth Prince! The rest of you, follow me!"

When they heard that Ahachu had been killed and that the Empress Dowager had personally led the charge, the Ming soldiers, who had already been defeated, became excited in an instant.

Ah Hachu's team was leaderless and had two underlings. They didn't know who to follow for a moment. They were originally full of energy, but now they were in chaos. Although they were still fighting hard, their momentum was obviously not as strong as before.

Jiang Yuebai has been practicing his marksmanship hard over the years just to be able to protect himself one day.

She shot one by one, and although not every shot hit the heart, every shot was fatal. She also rushed into the enemy group, got close to them and casually threw bags of Ecstasy Powder, scaring them and making them flee in all directions.

In the smoke, Jiang Yuebai drew out her long sword again, and took advantage of the chaos to kill countless enemies with her left hand. When the bullets of one gun were used up, she did not change the bullets, but took out another one from her waist bag and started directly.

This group of Jurchens have been living on the edge of a knife all year round, fighting and killing every day. They are a group of bloodthirsty desperadoes, but no one has ever seen such a ferocious and weird fighting style, as if they were risking their lives.

With Ah Hachu already dead, they all wanted to escape, and fled on horseback in terror. Many cruel and fierce Jurchens were also inspired to seek revenge, and surrounded Jiang Yuebai and launched a frantic attack on her.

The soldiers around her came to her rescue, but they couldn't help wanting to sacrifice Jiang Yuebai's life.

In a hurry, Jiang Yuebai continued to throw out a large bag of love powder and used auspicious special effects one after another.

A golden dragon descended from the sky and rushed towards Jiang Yuebai, circling around her several times. Auspicious clouds suddenly appeared above her head, and cranes cried loudly and clearly.

So Jiang Yuebai is the real dragon? This sudden change petrified everyone.

Because they assassinated the real dragon, his true form appeared to protect her?
Jiang Yuebai took the opportunity to hold the sword and roared, "I am the true emperor. Why don't you die quickly!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the people attacking her exhaled heavily, inhaling a large amount of Ecstasy Powder. However, her own people also fell down one after another because of inhaling Ecstasy Powder.

"You!" The last Jurchen standing not far from her pointed at her and said in horror, then staggered and fell to the ground with a thud. Although Xiaojiu won a great victory, she was seriously injured and unconscious. Moreover, the arrow was near her heart, and the imperial physician did not dare to pull out the arrowhead on the spot.

Jiang Yuebai ordered his men to chop off Ahachu's head, tie up the remaining poisoned and unconscious prisoners and take them back.

When they arrived at the Liaodong Protectorate headquarters, Princess Du Qiulin welcomed Jiang Yuebai. She was heartbroken to hear that the prince had been shot by an arrow and stayed by his side all the time.

Xiaojiu is five years younger than his brothers and sisters, and he is 40 this year. In five days, March 25th will be his birthday.

The biggest problem now is how to get the arrow out.

Most of the imperial doctors in the palace were proficient in internal medicine, and few were proficient in surgery. They could only handle simple problems, such as bandaging wounds and connecting broken bones. They would never dare to perform operations like cutting open the abdomen. Since Jiang Yu, no one has been as skilled in surgery as him, and no one has his courage to do it. Most of them are ordinary people who want to protect themselves and be safe.

So the three imperial doctors who came with them were helpless.

Jiang Yuebai gave him hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs from the system to temporarily stop the inflammation of the wound from getting worse. But it still couldn't solve the problem of removing the arrowhead.

She immediately sent news to Mengshu, the third princess, and the fifth princess, and also issued a reward in the area under the jurisdiction of Liaoning Protectorate, hoping that everyone could work together to find a doctor who could perform the surgery.

Who knew that one of the captives stood up and said that he was a Mongolian doctor, who was not good at other medical skills, but was most proficient in removing arrows. He joined the Jurchen rebels just to make a living. He only hoped to be spared from death and not bring disaster to his family.

To be on the safe side, they sent someone to inquire about the man's name, and it turned out to be true. Then they captured his family, and found that he had a sick old mother, a wife who was five months pregnant, and two children.

Jiang Yuebai let him meet his family. He promised that if he could save the Ninth Prince, not only would he not kill his family, but he would also find him an official position in the Protectorate so that he would have no worries about food and clothing. Or he could send his family to the capital and give him a reward to buy a house and do business.

During the operation, Jiang Yuebai stood by. In the room, there were six loyal subordinates of the Ninth Prince standing on both sides, ready to protect the Ninth Prince and the Grand Empress Dowager at any time.

This barefoot Mongolian doctor stood in front of the unconscious Ninth Prince and instantly entered a state of focused concentration. After examining him, he fed the Ninth Prince an anesthetic he had prepared himself. With a set of knives of different appearances, he skillfully cut open the flesh layer by layer. After taking out the arrow, he applied some secret medicine and then sewed it up layer by layer from the inside to the outside.

Jiang Yuebai stood aside, watching intently. She was not afraid of this Mongolian doctor's mischief, because his family lived next door.

She didn't expect that there were such strange people in ancient times. She even suspected that the other party had traveled from the modern times, and why he performed the surgery so perfectly.

On the night after the operation, Jiang Yuebai and the princess stayed by the Ninth Prince's side without closing their eyes.

Until then, Jiang Yuebai realized that the princess was an unusually calm and strong person. Although she was extremely anxious, she never cried and arranged the affairs of the palace in an orderly manner. The administrative affairs were handed over to the sixteen-year-old prince to assist in handling, and he would inquire about them every day.

She sighed in her heart, she is indeed the daughter of Prime Minister Du Heng. The influence of family tradition on people is always subtle.

Unlike his brothers who had many sons, Xiaojiu married a concubine and had ten daughters, but only one legitimate son and one illegitimate son.

Originally, the two had a deep relationship, and Xiaojiu had never thought of taking a concubine. After giving birth to four daughters in a row, the princess took the initiative to ask him to take a concubine from the Jurchen tribe. After taking the concubine from the Jurchen tribe, he still gave birth to two daughters in a row. Both of them had no hope, and the princess gave birth to the eldest son.

Eight years had passed by then, and Xiaojiu gave birth to her first son when she was 24. Four years later, she gave birth to her second son.

Jiang Yuebai couldn't help but feel guilty.

She held the male-birth pill in her hand, and it would only take a few minutes to give birth to a boy. As a mother for so many years, she had never cared about Xiaojiu's offspring. She had given birth to so many girls, but she knew nothing about it. Every time she heard that Laojiu had given birth to a little princess. She only wanted her daughters to give birth to boys as soon as possible to consolidate their status in their husband's family. She rarely cared about her sons' offspring, but was more concerned about how they fulfilled their responsibilities.

The princess knelt down and said with a guilty look, "Please forgive me, mother. It was my fault that I didn't give birth to another prince for the royal family."

Jiang Yuebai held the princess's hand and said, "I brought the imperial physician with me this time. Let them prescribe some prescriptions for you to have a boy. If you want your concubine to have a boy, you can also ask the imperial physician to take a look at her."

"Thank you, mother. Of course I hope that Your Majesty will have many children." The princess said respectfully.

The Ninth Prince woke up in the evening of the next day, and everyone cried for joy.

"Son, you finally woke up." Jiang Yuebai was very happy.

The Ninth Prince looked at his mother, who was sitting beside the couch and was safe and sound, and called out happily, "Mother."

Jiang Yuebai happily responded with a "yeah" and carefully reminded him, "Rest well and don't talk, so as not to tear the wound."

The Ninth Prince showed a childish smile and held his mother's hand tightly.

Jiang Yuebai has plenty of time now, so she simply stays in Liaoning Prefecture to accompany Xiaojiu as he recovers.

The Mongolian doctor who cured Xiaojiu chose to move his family to the capital in order to avoid revenge.

Jiang Yuebai gave him a Han Chinese name, Wang Liang, and sent someone to escort him back to the capital. He also gave him a sum of gold and silver to buy a house and open a clinic to treat injuries. At the same time, he wrote a letter of recommendation to Jiang Xian, praising Wang Liang's surgical skills and suggesting that he should be considered for patients who need surgical operations in the future.

Wang Liang was naturally very grateful for this, and in return he told Jiang Yuebai that there were many talented people with special skills among the captives, including the second-in-command and military advisor of the rebels.

Jiang Yuebai talked alone with the second in command of the rebels who was tied up for more than an hour, using the Lingxi Talisman and the Loyalty Talisman on him. Because he overheard the other party's inner thoughts, he used the words according to the other party's inner thoughts, and the second in command was shocked and amazed, and finally burst into tears and deeply repented.

Coupled with the extraordinary scenes during the battle, the other side regarded Jiang Yuebai as a god from heaven and bowed to him.

Jiang Yuebai gave him a Han Chinese name, Zhong Zhen.
