Black Dragon's Wife: Myriad Spirits and White Phoenix

Chapter 157 Goodbye Friends (2)
"Alas..." Seeing his daughter's affirmative words, Yu Zhentian knew that no matter how much he liked Gao Jingfei, his nephew, he couldn't get along with his daughter.

He also mentioned to Gao Jingfei that he wanted to marry his daughter to Gao Jingfei, but Gao Jingfei had the same idea as his daughter. They only had brother-sister affection for each other and no personal relationship between men and women. Find someone.

"Uncle!" Gao Jingfei walked into the big tent with hurried steps, "My cousin is here too!"

"What's wrong? You're in a panic." Yu Zhentian looked at Gao Jingfei and asked.

"Uncle, a few more soldiers died just now. Other healthy soldiers in the barracks saw their comrades fall down one after another. Everyone was panicked and the army's morale was broken. What's more serious is that some military doctors saw so many people die. I felt helpless when I died, and I was afraid of being dealt with by the military law and ran away at night!"

"What!" Yu Zhentian yelled, "These cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death, throw the patient aside and run away by themselves if they can't save people, what kind of doctors are they!"

"Uncle, please don't be angry. Commander Wang wants me to ask you if you want someone to chase those military doctors back."

Yu Zhentian rubbed his brows, thought for a moment, and said: "No, it's useless to chase them back. If you can't save them, you can't save them. If you chase them back, it's a dead end. Now there can be no more blood in the barracks. This will make things worse." Let the soldiers worry. Jingfei, let's go, let's go and see the soldiers' illnesses."

"Yes!" After speaking, Yuqin and Gao Jingfei followed Yu Zhentian out of the big tent.

When I came to the area where the sick soldier was, I felt a strange and gloomy aura filling the surroundings.Some soldiers were transporting herbs with carts, and some soldiers were decocting the medicine with a fire. Occasionally, a few healthy soldiers shuttled between several tents, their faces full of exhaustion.

In a tent with the most sick soldiers, Medical Officer Li pulled out the silver needle, and the soldier in front of him finally breathed lightly. After cleaning his hands wearily, Medical Officer Li said to the apprentice beside him, "Fulin, feed him the medicine."

"Yes." Fulin skillfully poured out the medicine, supported the sick soldier's head, and fed him the medicine bit by bit.

Doctor Li rubbed his temples, waiting for the dizziness to subside. Not far behind him, Commander Wang's anxious voice came: "Medical Officer Li, come here."

Doctor Li felt Commander Wang's side and asked, "What's wrong?"

At Commander Wang's feet, a man in his early thirties was lying flat on a bed made of two planks. His skin was already pale gray and his body was already stiff.Commander Wang shook his head solemnly, and Doctor Li stroked the man's neck, but his pulse was gone.

He withdrew his hand and whispered: "The body, burn it as soon as possible."

A young man in his early twenties who was sitting beside the man immediately bounced up, and was about to jump on the man. Doctor Li grabbed his wrist, and the young man knelt at his feet, crying, "Impossible, my elder brother is not dead!" , He was still talking to me last night! Medical officer, please, look again! Look again! Don’t burn my elder brother!"

Doctor Li closed his eyes in pain, and let the young man pull him, unable to even say a word of comfort.The soldiers next to him stepped forward to pull the young man away, and Doctor Li walked out of the temporary tent weakly. He has practiced medicine for decades, and this is the most painful experience he has experienced.

Commander Wang stood behind him, staring blankly at the rising sun. The vibrant morning light failed to bring him any hope of life.Frowning together, he sighed: "It's already the sixth one today, what should I do if this continues?"

Doctor Li shook his head dejectedly, "Oh...I have tried my best. I have tried various medicinal materials countless times, and changed the medicinal soup four or five times, but it still...has little effect. I really have no other way."

Commander Wang sighed and turned around, just in time to see Yu Zhentian and the others coming towards him, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "General."

"How's the situation?" Yu Zhentian asked.

Commander Wang shook his head weakly, and said in a low voice: "Early this morning, all the other medical officers had fled in the night, and only Medical Officer Li and his apprentice stayed here to continue treating the soldiers. But..."

Seeing Yu Zhentian, Doctor Li hurried to the front, knelt down on the ground with a thud, wept softly and said: "This old man is incompetent, he can't cure the sickness of the soldiers, please general punish him."

Yuqin hurriedly helped Dr. Li up, looked at his gray hair, wrinkled face, and haggard face very distressed, and comforted him: "Uncle Li is serious, you have been a military doctor for decades, and you have been working tirelessly these days. It’s not easy, how can I punish you.”

Doctor Li cupped his hands to Yu Zhentian and said: "The old man has issued a military order, if the soldier's illness can't be cured, he will apologize with death, please stab him to death."

"Alas..." Yu Zhentian looked at Doctor Li, who was over sixty years old, and sighed heavily.Doctor Li has been with him for decades, and has always been the exclusive medical officer of the army he leads. The relationship between the two is like brothers. It is really hard to see him like this now.

He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Lao Li, don't do this. The other medical officers are gone. Now you are the only one in the army who can save these soldiers. If you die again, then they are really hopeless."

"Report!" A soldier ran over, cupped his hands and said: "General Qi, Dingbeihou and Fengwangfei have led the Feng family army to set up camp twenty miles outside the camp. Now Fengwangfei, Dingbeihou and Fengjia The other generals of the army have already come to the barracks."

Yu Zhentian's eyes lit up when he heard the news, and his spirits lifted.Originally, he thought that even if the Feng family army traveled day and night at full speed, it would take three to five days to arrive, but he did not expect to arrive today.It really deserves to be the most elite army in China.

"Commander Wang, hurry up and ask the other generals in the army to follow me to meet Lord Hou and Concubine Wang."

Commander Wang happily cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"

"Daddy?" Yuqin asked suspiciously from the side.

"Qin'er, Jingfei, you two are not members of the army, so you don't need to go to greet them. Just stay here with Lao Li and take care of the sick soldiers."

Watching Yu Zhentian's back leave, Gao Jingfei lowered his head and pondered, Princess Feng...

Xuan Haiyue, Dingbeihou, Huangfu Chengyao, Yuan Ping and others rode their horses to the camp of Junmingguan soon.As soon as he looked up, he saw Yu Zhentian and others waiting outside the camp.

"Master Junming Pass, Yu Zhentian joins Princess Feng and Lord Marquis." Yu Zhentian bowed his hands to Xuan Haiyue and Shangguanyi.

"General Yu is free of courtesy. Let's talk about it after we enter the big tent." Xuan Haiyue got off his horse, looked at Yu Zhentian and said.

"Princess, Lord Hou, please come inside."

"General Yu, how is the condition of the soldiers now?" Xuan Haiyue asked in the first place.
