General, your wife has gone to deliver another calf for your horse.

The two guards at the gate breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Shen Wenshu's words and readily agreed.

Shen Wenshu was completely unaware of their unusual emotions, her mind preoccupied with the pandemic.

Jiang Nuanzhi was being conservative in what he said before. If he could really solve the epidemic, it would be equivalent to solving the general's urgent problem.

Those whose military ranks haven't changed in the past three years should be able to get promoted soon. A meteoric rise in their careers is just around the corner.

And that guy surnamed Sun who's always opposing him—he'll definitely get the upper hand this time. Remembering the mockery he'd received from Sun today, Shen Wenshu unconsciously pursed his lips.

Without saying a word, he immediately returned to his tent to keep an eye on things.

The next morning, the first thing he did upon waking was to check on the slaves who had been treated the previous day.

“The clerks have really improved. According to the current epidemic situation, they should be coughing badly and having a persistent high fever today, but the symptoms of these people are all decreasing.”

"It really works!"

Shen Wenshu tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, thinking about all sorts of possibilities. Now that he heard that the prescription was actually effective, he suddenly felt a sense of unrealistic absurdity.

He subconsciously reached out and touched the prescription he had casually stuffed into his arms, his heart pounding wildly.

Just then, someone entered the tent to deliver a message.

"Clerk, Sun Canzhi has found the successor of the legendary physician, and he is currently meeting with the general. The general requests that you hurry over as well!"

"What did you say!"

Shen Wenshu slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly, startling the soldier who had delivered the message.

The soldier continued, "I heard that when Sun Canzhi went to the city, he met the successor of the Magpie Divine Physician, and has now invited him to his tent."

Shen Wenshu disregarded everything else and immediately went to the general's main tent.

In the main account.

Sanqi had a sour face at this moment.

He originally came to Canglin to find Physician Jiang, but unexpectedly, he was recognized in this area. Without any explanation, he was dragged into the military camp and brought a bunch of patients for him to see.

He was traveling in secrecy, unable to explain his purpose or directly inquire about Doctor Jiang's whereabouts. He felt inexplicably stifled.

However, being a doctor after all, he still examined all of them.

"Young Doctor, you are so young, and your future is limitless. Your trip has relieved the urgent crisis in our army. The epidemic in the army is getting worse every day, and now the lives of tens of thousands of people are all in your hands."

"General."

Sanqi frowned and called out, and the general beside him immediately stepped forward: "What are your orders?"

"Be quiet."

General: "."

When Shen Wenshu entered the room, he saw Sanqi intently taking someone's pulse.

Shen Wenshu had met the most prized disciple of the legendary physician Que once before, back in the capital. Seeing that it really was him, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

The prescription from Doctor Que was sent over before, but it wasn't very effective because we didn't know about the pandemic situation.

Now that they've specially sent a messenger, they must already have a solution. All his efforts have been in vain.

As he frowned in thought, he saw Sun Canzhi bump into him, his eyes filled with smugness and provocation.

Shen Wenshu felt secretly frustrated. It was obvious that after this, he would be trampled underfoot by him.

Sun Canzhi, however, was overjoyed, his eyes filled with fervor as he stared at Sanqi.

Now that Sanqi is taking the pulse, everyone around is holding their breath and waiting.

After a while, Sanqi stopped and sighed to himself, "This battle is probably going to be difficult to resolve. I've never seen a pulse like this before. Logically speaking, the medicine my master used before should have helped. But now it seems that the prescription is having very little effect. I'm afraid we need to adjust it."

"What should we do now?" the general asked, frowning.

Sanqi thought for a moment and said, "I'll try using some medicine first and see how effective it is. I will write a letter back to the capital and explain the situation here to my master, and then wait for his reply."

"Thank you, little miracle doctor."

Sweat had begun to bead on the general's forehead. He wasn't entirely satisfied with the answer.

He brought several imperial physicians with him when he took office, and they are still stationed in his military camp. Moreover, these imperial physicians have been communicating with the divine physician, Que Shenyi.

However, no news came from Doctor Que, and the prescription he brought earlier had little effect.

He encountered such a thorny epidemic right after taking office. How could he not be anxious?

But now there's no better way, so he can only hope that this little miracle doctor can contact the magpie doctor as soon as possible and solve his urgent problem.

"Why don't you stay with my army for the next few days, little divine doctor? I'll prepare a feast for you tonight."

Sanqi waved his hand: "No need, I have other things to do."

He finished writing the letter and left the prescription. Then, without lingering, he left.

Having been recognized, he couldn't openly inquire about Doctor Jiang, so he decided to investigate slowly at an inn in the city.

This time I was smarter and simply covered my face to avoid causing any trouble.

Shen Wenshu never expected that even the successor of the legendary physician Que could not find a solution.

For a moment, holding this prescription felt a bit too hot to handle.

To be on the safe side, he observed for another day, and only when he saw that everyone was truly well did he sneak into the general's tent late at night.

It is unclear how the two discussed the matter, but the outbreak within the army was quickly contained.

"Thanks to the divine physician Que, our Canglin is saved."

"Yes, yes, the Magpie Doctor is like Hua Tuo reincarnated. So many people couldn't cure the great plague, but the Magpie Doctor's successor solved it with ease."

"Our Great Jing has such a divine person; it is truly a blessing from heaven!"

Sanqi had been staying in Canglin for three or four days, but still hadn't found any news about Jiang Nuanzhi. While having a meal downstairs in frustration, he overheard the people next to him talking about it, and he couldn't help but frown.

Even the fastest letter couldn't have reached Canglin this quickly, could it? Has the epidemic really taken a turn for the better so soon?

Could it be that his prescription just happened to work by accident?
He shook his head inwardly. It shouldn't be like that. Perhaps his master had already devised a new prescription? In any case, the fact that the epidemic had been cured was a great thing.

Hearing the people around him discussing the need to build a temple for their master, he felt a surge of pride. His annoyance eased somewhat.

After hearing the sound, he went to the inn to inquire further.

This time, however, they received news from Jiang Nuanzhi.

The shopkeeper remembered Jiang Nuanzhi, only that she had left two days ago with her luggage.

Sanqi slapped his forehead inwardly, and without saying a word, rode his horse back to Gu Kui City.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

As for Jiang Nuanzhi, after saying goodbye to Shen Wenshu, she embarked on her journey home.

Fearing that Xiaoli would get tired on the way, they rested four or five times in a row, and finally entered the courtyard in the middle of the night.

Jiang Nuanzhi felt like her bones were about to be shattered; riding a horse was truly a physically demanding activity.

Of course, it was also physically demanding for Xiaoli. After entering the courtyard, Jiang Nuanzhi slumped onto the stool, feeling that even lifting her hand was difficult.

Xiaoli simply put on a movie and lay down, breathing heavily through her nose.

The two of them rested for about half an hour before Jiang Nuanzhi could catch her breath. She then took a clean handkerchief and wiped Xiao Li's face. She also fetched some water for her to drink.

He was truly exhausted, so he lay on top of Xiaoli, stroking her fur listlessly. Xiaoli lay there with her mouth wide open, her eyes half-open, glancing at Jiang Nuanzhi.

Jiang Nuanzhi was also feeling drowsy.

I tried to get up, my body aching, but when I turned around, I was met with a pair of eyes as black as ink.

Those eyes gleamed with a cold light, sending chills down one's spine in the dark night.

Jiang Nuanzhi only glanced at it, but instantly felt a chill spread throughout her body. (End of Chapter)
