A four-year-old medical prodigy descended to the mortal realm, and the entire capital sought her tre

Zhao Yucheng knew that his son was always meticulous, but he never expected that he would think about the problem this time.

"How so?" Zhao Yucheng wanted to hear his son's analysis.

Zhao Jinzhong then recounted the whole story to Zhao Yucheng.

He also told Zhao Yucheng about how he and Zhou Ruo had dug the mother spores out of the soil.

"Hmm, very good." Zhao Yucheng nodded in satisfaction, feeling that his son had a very clear way of thinking.

"He is a man of the king," Zhao Yucheng added.

"Wang Changlin, Lord Wang?" Zhao Jinzhong only knew that Lord Wang had led troops to victory in battle and was thus granted the title of Marquis.

However, he was young at the time and did not know what happened back then or what happened afterward.

"Yes, that's him." Zhao Yucheng began to recall: "You were only six years old back then, and I was leading troops to fight in the Northwest."

We thought the war in the Northwest would be over in six months, but just as we were about to withdraw, the enemy launched a counterattack.

A month later, fighting broke out on the Yunnan border, but I was powerless to provide support.

Later, Wang Changlin volunteered, gathered 10,000 soldiers, went to Yunnan, repelled the enemy, and won a marquisate in one battle.

Upon hearing his father recount events from many years ago, Zhao Jinzhong exclaimed in surprise, "Ten thousand soldiers? They were enough to defeat the Yunnan campaign back then?"

"That's right," Zhao Yucheng said with genuine admiration, "Brother Wang is indeed a master at leading troops into battle."

Zhao Jinzhong seemed to realize something, his heart skipped a beat, and his voice suddenly rose: "He wants to seize military power?!"

Zhao Yucheng gestured to his son not to make a fuss, and he calmly said, "If it's a fair and square competition, I'll play along."

But if shady methods are used, I, Zhao Yucheng, will never back down!

The next morning, Zhou Ruo woke up early.

"Finally, I'm up earlier than my brother!" Zhou Ruo jumped out of bed, wanting to go to Zhao Jinzhong's tent to find him.

But when she lifted the tent flap and was about to step out, she was startled by what she saw.

Dozens of soldiers were kneeling in front of Zhou Ruo.

Upon closer inspection, she recognized a few of the people.

"Who are you? What are you doing kneeling here?" Zhou Ruo asked.

The leading soldier moved his knees forward, kowtowed to Zhou Ruo, and then said:

"Miss, we are all the wounded soldiers you saved yesterday. We've come specifically to thank you for saving our lives!"

Zhou Ruo looked closely and exclaimed, "Oh, I remember now, you're the one who ate the ice toad!"

"Yes, yes, that's me. My name is Wu Lian. If it weren't for Miss's amazing medical skills, I probably would have died in this life."

Just then, Zhao Jinzhong came out from the next tent.

He was awakened from his sleep by the commotion outside the tent, so he got out of bed and saw dozens of soldiers kneeling in front of Zhou Ruo.

Wu Lian pointed to the food piled up to a small mountain and said to Zhou Ruo:

"Miss, these are the brothers' heartfelt gifts. We can never repay your life-saving grace, so please enjoy these wild game dishes for now."

Zhou Ruo looked closely and saw wild rabbits, pheasants, sweet potatoes, melons and fruits... and a bucket filled with several fish and a lot of shrimp.

She was somewhat troubled. In her previous life, after she cured someone, she usually received spirit stones and a few words of praise as a reward.

She had never encountered such a way of expressing gratitude before, and she didn't know how to respond.

The two little hands were tightly entwined together, looking somewhat awkward.

Zhao Jinzhong only slowly appeared in everyone's sight when he saw Zhou Ruo's unnatural state.

"Young General!"

These soldiers in front of them had not seen Zhao Jinzhong for a very, very long time.

More than two years ago, he was fighting alongside everyone on the battlefield, and two years have passed since then.

They should have met in the underworld.

No one could have imagined that it was because of this child that they were able to continue their bond in this world.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Zhao Jinzhong told his soldiers:

Ruoruo appreciates everyone's kind intentions.

Then, Zhao Jinzhong pointed to the pile of things on the ground and said:

"These fruits can stay; the rest of you brothers can take them back to nourish yourselves!"

The soldiers thought that Zhao Jinzhong was being considerate of them, so he saved the best game for them.

Everyone chimed in, "Young General, there are plenty of wild rabbits and pheasants in the woods! We can go catch them!"

Zhao Jinzhong made a gesture, and after everyone quieted down, he slowly said:

"Everyone has misunderstood. Ruoruo prefers fruits and vegetables; she can't eat so much meat."

Soldiers: "It's no wonder our young lady likes fruits; there are plenty of fruits in the forest. We'll pick more for her next time!"

Hearing that there was fruit nearby, Zhou Ruo's eyes lit up: "Really! That's great! Now we can eat fruit again!"

Everyone was amused by Zhou Ruo's innocence.

Just as everyone was having a good time, a figure came running quickly toward the tent.

"Young General! Miss!" a soldier gasped, "Dr. Lu says he needs to amputate Sun Nan's leg!"

As he spoke, the soldier knelt down in front of Zhou Ruo and Zhao Jinzhong.

"Miss, please save Sun Nan! He's an only child; amputation would cripple him!"

When Wu Lian and the others heard that Sun Nan was going to have his leg amputated, they were all in an uproar.

"Xiao Li, what did you say? Sun Nan only injured his leg after falling off a horse, why does he need to have it amputated?"

Xiao Li: "Dr. Lu said that his legs were poisoned and he would not survive if he did not have them amputated."

Zhao Jinzhong was all too familiar with the experience of falling off a horse.

Despite being thrown from his horse, having his foot bones crushed by the horse, and being poisoned, he can still walk normally.

How could Sun Nan possibly need to have his leg amputated?

"Where is Doctor Yu?" Zhao Jinzhong asked.

Xiao Li replied, "Doctor Yu is not here today."

Lu Ming is Doctor Qin's chief disciple, and even Doctor Sun has to give him some leeway.

Zhou Ruo took Zhao Jinzhong's hand and said, "Brother, let's go take a look!"

Zhao Jinzhong nodded to Zhou Ruo, then pulled her along quickly toward the wounded soldiers' camp.

The soldiers in front of the tents also followed them all the way back to the wounded soldiers' camp.

"Dr. Lu, please, I'd rather die than have my leg amputated!"

When everyone entered the wounded soldiers' camp, they heard Sun Nan's desperate pleas.

Lu Ming said arrogantly, "Foolish! The poison on your leg has already reached above your knee. If you don't have it amputated, you'll be waiting to die!"

But the general gave an order, requiring us doctors to do everything we could to treat everyone, and never give up on those whose lives could be saved!

Therefore, your limbs must be amputated today!

Upon hearing this, Sun Nan covered his face and wept bitterly. His brothers comforted him while begging Lu Ming to think of another solution.

The other doctors stood by, not daring to utter a sound.

Aside from not daring to oppose Lu Ming's decision, they had no better way to both detoxify Sun Nan and cure his legs.

"He doesn't need an amputation!"

Zhou Ruo stood outside the wounded soldiers' area, her little hand still being held by Zhao Jinzhong.

She saw that Sun Nan's legs below the knees were indeed entangled in poisonous miasma, but not to the point of needing amputation.
