Su Huaiyue was concentrating on acupuncture, her eyes were firm and focused, and the silver needle in her hand was flashing coldly in the candlelight.

Every time she inserted a needle, she carefully observed General Lian's reaction, while muttering to herself, "Wei Che, work harder, pay attention, and don't let up."

The atmosphere in the tent was extremely tense. Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on Su Huaiyue and Wei Che's every move.

General Lian suddenly started coughing violently and spat out another mouthful of black blood, which splattered on the side of the bed.

Su Huaiyue's expression changed slightly. She knew that this was a sign of the poison struggling in her body, and the situation became more critical.

"Wei Che, increase the strength!" There was a hint of anxiety in Su Huaiyue's voice. She increased the speed of acupuncture. The sweat on her forehead slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the ground.

Wei Che gritted his teeth and increased the strength in his hands. His arms trembled slightly due to the force, but his eyes were extremely firm, as if he was fighting a desperate battle with death.

Time passed minute by minute, and General Lian's breathing was still weak, but his complexion seemed to have improved a little.

Seeing this, Su Huaiyue felt a little relieved.

Suddenly, General Lian's body twitched violently and he suddenly opened his eyes.

"General...Lian?" Li Lianshou looked at Lian Shuo who suddenly woke up and was surprised.

Although Lian Shuo was weak, he still looked up at Su Huaiyue with a frown.

Li Lianshou hurriedly explained, "General Lian, this is the miraculous doctor Su Huaiyue. Miss Su, she cured the plague in the entire Southwest City. We had no other choice but to invite her here."

Lian Shuo urgently looked at the people in the room, and when he saw Wei Che again, a hint of surprise and disbelief flashed in his eyes.

There seemed to be countless questions and emotions hidden in those eyes, as if he had met a long-lost relative in a dream.

"Wei... General Wei, is it really you?" Lian Shuo's voice was weak, as if all his strength had been drained away. His breath was so faint that it was almost inaudible, but it was full of excitement. There was a hint of trembling in his voice, as if he couldn't believe his eyes, and as if he was afraid that this was just an illusory dream.

When Wei Che just came in, he felt that this person looked familiar and had already recognized him.

Lian Shuo was once a deputy general under his command.

A complex emotion surged in his heart, including surprise, emotion and worry. Looking at the deputy general who was once full of vigor and followed him into battle but now lying weakly on the hospital bed, his heart was full of worry.

"It's me. I didn't expect to see you here. Don't say anything for now and take good care of yourself." Wei Che said hurriedly, his voice full of concern and anxiety. The concern was like the love of an elder brother for his younger brother, and the anxiety was the worry about his illness.

Lian Shuo's lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he started coughing violently again, and his body began to tremble.

Seeing this, Su Huaiyue hurried forward, patted him on the back gently, and said soothingly: "General Lian, don't get excited for now, conserve your energy."

When Lian Shuo's coughing subsided a bit, he said in a weak voice, "General Wei, there's a traitor in the barracks, colluding with... with forces outside, trying to..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by another cough, his face full of pain.

Wei Che's eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle. He leaned over to Lian Shuo and asked anxiously, "Is the outside force you mentioned related to a man named Cheng Lao?"

Lian Shuo nodded with difficulty, a flicker of anger in his eyes. "It was him... He was secretly communicating with several high-ranking officials in the military camp. I accidentally discovered it, and they secretly poisoned me. And... they wanted to get rid of me in the name of the plague."

When everyone in the tent heard this, their faces changed drastically.

Su Huaiyue frowned and looked at Wei Che: "It seems that the conspiracy behind this plague is more complicated than we imagined."

Wei Che nodded solemnly, then turned to Lian Shuo and said, "Lian Shuo, take good care of your injuries. We will definitely catch these traitors and restore peace to the barracks. Do you know what their next plan is?"

Lian Shuo shook his head weakly: "I only know that they are waiting for an opportunity, the details... I don't know either."

The air in the tent was as dead silent as a veil.

Su Huaiyue just asked Lian Shuo to lie down and rest more, and not let the thieves succeed.

Then he looked at Wei Che and had a plan in mind.

Soon, the soldiers brought back a batch of herbs, but after inspection, Su Huaiyue found that there were many defective products mixed in them.

Su Huaiyue frowned tightly, picked up the defective herbs, and after examining them carefully, his expression became even more stern: "These herbs are completely useless as medicine. Someone deliberately tampered with them, probably to delay the recovery of the entire army."

Upon hearing this, Wei Che's eyes flashed with a cold light, and a murderous aura emanated from his body. "It seems that the traitor's power has already infiltrated the procurement of medicinal materials, and they are still secretly sabotaging us."

"What should we do now? These brothers can't wait!" Li Lianshou was so anxious that tears welled up on his forehead.

"Don't be hasty. We can't alert the enemy. Since they want to delay, we should take advantage of their trick." He turned to look at Su Huaiyue, his eyes full of trust and dependence. "Look at these herbs. How many of them are still usable?"

Su Huaiyue quickly gathered his thoughts and said calmly, "Some of it can still be used, but the quantity is far from enough. We need to re-purchase it as soon as possible. However, I have thought of someone."

"Zhao Xingzhong!" The two looked at each other and said in unison.

"Yes, he is now detained in the county government office. I will go back and ask him to find a way to help us get the medicinal materials. Now let's not worry about the channels. Let's save these soldiers first." Although he knew that Zhao Xingzhong's methods were not clean, there was no other way at the moment.

Although Li Lianshou didn't understand what they were saying, nor did he know who Zhao Xingzhong was, he was glad to be able to help them. He bowed repeatedly and said, "Then I'll trouble Master Wei to go there in person. I'll send someone to prepare a fast horse for you."

Su Huaiyue stopped him, "Doctor Li, there is a traitor in the camp now. Our plan must not be known to anyone, so Wei Che has to leave secretly. Please…"

Li Lianshou understood what she meant, so he bypassed the spies and personally led a horse to Wei Che, and pointed out a small path that bypassed the military camp.

Wei Che didn't dare delay. After Li Lianshou's fast horse was ready, he quickly jumped on it and galloped towards the Southwest County Government Office. Along the way, the wind whistled in his ears, but Wei Che had only one thought in his mind: no matter what the cost, he had to ask Zhao Xingzhong to help him get the medicinal herbs.

After arriving at the county government office, Wei Che went straight to County Magistrate Chen. Seeing Wei Che's hurried appearance, County Magistrate Chen guessed something and asked, "Master Wei, what happened at the military camp?"
