Liu Tan was startled when he felt the weight on his body. He subconsciously turned around to catch Lu Xuan's body, and then felt his hands full of cold and wetness. Then he saw an arrow sticking out of Lu Xuan's back.

At that moment, Liu Tan felt as if his breathing had stopped, his mind went blank, and he didn't know what to do except hug Lu Xuan tightly.

Huo Guang, however, ran over to them and saw the arrow in Lu Xuan's back. He was immediately shocked and said, "Is the young Kunmi injured? Your Highness, quickly, enter...enter the city first. The young Kunmi's arrow wound needs treatment as soon as possible."

Liu Tan was like a puppet at this time, doing whatever Huo Guang said.

It is a stretch to call this town of Wusun a town. There are only a few households at most, not to mention city walls.

Lu Xuan fell, and there was no one in charge here. Liu Tan was like a fool. Huo Guang could only order people to set up camp and settle them while starting to deploy defenses.

When someone tried to take Lu Xuan from Liu Tan, Liu Tan subconsciously hugged Lu Xuan tightly and looked over fiercely, as if he was protecting a precious little beast.

Huo Guang, standing by, had never seen him look so ferocious before. His heart was pounding as he spoke softly, "Your Highness, the little Kunmi's injury must be treated as soon as possible."

Liu Tan finally came to his senses and quickly had Lu Xuan removed from his horse. He then jumped off his horse himself and said, "Let's find a clean place. Where's the doctor? Has the doctor we brought with us been brought out?"

Jiang Chong came over panting and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. The doctor and the herbs are all with him."

Anything can be thrown away, but this cannot be thrown away. They are just hiding, and it is not the time to give up everything. If they throw the doctor away, what if their prince has a headache or fever on the way back?

Liu Tan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Huo Guang, saying, "This is entirely up to the captain and the usher."

He was very grateful at this time. Fortunately, both Huo Guang and Jiang Chong could speak Wusun language. Jiang Chong might not learn much, but there seemed to be no problem with daily conversation.

Otherwise, if Lu Xuan was unconscious and no one could communicate with the people on the Wusun side, it would really be a disaster.

The Wusun people wanted to move Lu Xuan to their place. Liu Tan took one look at the felt houses they lived in and almost fainted on the spot. Each one looked very dirty. Although their tents were not sterile, they were still better than the Wusun people's houses.

Liu Tan turned to Huo Guang and said, "Tell them that Lu Xuan is seriously injured and only our medicine can cure him. It's best not to move him too far and put him in my tent."

Huo Guang wanted to stop him, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

The main reason was that Lu Xuan was most likely injured for Liu Tan. If he hadn't held Liu Tan in his arms and lowered his body, he might not have been hit by the arrow. Otherwise, with so many people following behind Lu Xuan and Liu Tan, how come the rest of them were not seriously injured except for the one who was covering their retreat?

Huo Guang did not stop Liu Tan, but turned around to negotiate with the Wusun people.

No one knew what Huo Guang had said to the Wusun people, but in the beginning, those people wanted to grab Lu Xuan but in the end, they let them carry him into the tent.

Of course, the tent that was finally carried in was not Liu Tan’s, but a new one. After all, in order to prevent them from having bad intentions, the Wusun people still had to send people to guard Lu Xuan.

Liu Tan rubbed his sore temples and said tiredly, "Besides you two, is there anyone else who can speak Wusun?"

Couldn't Huo Guang and Jiang Chong also translate the doctor's words? It would be a waste of talent to not mention whether they were busy or not. What if Huo Guang and Jiang Chong felt that this was a disrespect to them?

Fortunately, because they were sent to Wusun, there were many people in the delegation who could speak Wusun language.

While the doctor was treating Lu Xuan, Liu Tan sat beside him and watched. After a while, the doctor frowned and said, "The arrow didn't hit any vital parts, but..."

Liu Tan knew that there was no injury to a vital part. Lu Xuan was injured in the right butterfly bone.

This is also one of the reasons why he was able to calm down. In this position... no one should die.

But seeing the doctor's expression, Liu Tan panicked: "Just what? Don't talk nonsense, just tell me what you need."

At worst, he could send someone on horseback to get it immediately.

The doctor said with some embarrassment, "The arrow has a side hook. Whether it is pulled out or taken out bit by bit, it will enlarge the wound. The enlarged wound is likely to cause ulcers, which is the most dangerous part."

The doctor is a veteran and has seen such wounds before. Those who are lucky can survive, but those who are unlucky may not be able to withstand it and die.

After hearing this, Liu Tan was stunned for a moment before he realized that the so-called ulcer should refer to the infection of the sore.

He looked at the doctor in some confusion. Wouldn't disinfecting the wound prevent infection?

However, he soon remembered that the medical skills of that time were still relatively primitive. They had a certain understanding of disinfection but it was not systematic. At most, they could use hot water to disinfect knives and the like. As for wounds... there was no way. They couldn't use hot water to disinfect wounds, right?

But Liu Tan has a solution, he has alcohol!

He turned to Miao Rui and said, "Go get my medicine box."

After he finished speaking, he turned to the doctor and said, "You will take care of the rest of the treatment, but you must follow my instructions."

The doctor turned to look at Liu Tan, his face filled with shock. He glanced uneasily at the Wusun guards standing guard at Lu Xuan's window, watching him closely, and couldn't help but whisper, "Your Highness, this is no joke."

Liu Tan didn't want to waste time explaining. The main thing was that even if he did, the other party might not understand. So he simply asked, "Which do you think is harder, getting the plant to bloom and bear fruit in winter or healing this wound?"

The doctor was confused by his question and subconsciously thought that it was difficult to make plants bloom and bear fruit in winter.

But he soon discovered that this was not the case. Plants would not die if they could not bloom and bear fruit in winter!

The doctor was about to explain something when Liu Tan grabbed his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I hope Lu Xuan survives even more than you do. After all, he saved me, and I won't repay kindness with hatred!"

The doctor was helpless and could only sigh and say, "But... I can trust Your Highness, but what if the Wusun people don't believe me?"

Liu Tan subconsciously glanced at the two guards. He thought about it carefully and found that he really didn't know what to do. He simply said, "Let Captain Huo go and negotiate with them."

Huo Guang, who was standing outside, happened to hear these words and couldn't help but sigh deeply, but he also believed that Liu Tan would definitely not harm Lu Xuan.

At this time, Miao Rui brought over his medicine box. Although it was called a medicine box, it was actually different from the doctor's medicine box. Inside were some pills prepared for him by Chen Ajiao and Liu Che, mainly to deal with acclimatization and some simple headaches and fevers. Then there was a small bottle of alcohol, which was prepared by Liu Tan himself. He was worried that if there was a small wound, the medical conditions outside the Great Wall were not good, and this could prevent the wound from getting infected.

Liu Tan was originally worried that he would not be able to adapt to the climate outside the Great Wall, but he did not expect that after leaving the Great Wall, he was fine and full of energy.

He didn't expect that all the alcohol he prepared would be used by Lu Xuan!

Liu Tan asked the doctor to bring all the instruments he was about to use, and then disinfected them all with alcohol bit by bit, and then disinfected his hands with alcohol as well.

In fact, if possible, he wanted to be more meticulous, but Lu Xuan's wound was only barely bleeding, and who knew what would happen if the arrowhead remained in his body.

Liu Tan had no choice but to say, "Go ahead. Remember not to touch other places casually. After taking it out, use this thing to wipe the wound."

The doctor smelled the scent of wine with his nose pointed, and knew that the person in front of him had made pure wine. Although he didn't know what the pure wine was used for here, he didn't ask a single question and started to remove the arrow for Lu Xuan according to Liu Tan's instructions.

To be honest, Liu Tan really couldn't bear to watch such a bloody scene. It wasn't because he was timid, but mainly because he could empathize with the doctor. When he saw the doctor starting to take out the arrow from Lu Xuan's shoulder bit by bit, he felt a faint pain in his butterfly bone as well.

So there were several times when he couldn't help but turn his head away, but in the end he forced himself to continue looking. He had to stare at the doctor to avoid a higher risk of infection.

Lu Xuan had been frowning since he fell into a coma, and now the doctor removing the arrow made him groan unconsciously.

When Liu Tan heard the sound, he couldn't help but remember that he had heard such a sound before, but at that time the surroundings were noisy, and Lu Xuan's intention to conceal it was really concealed.

Liu Tan couldn't help but feel short of breath when he thought of Lu Xuan riding a horse for nearly a hundred miles despite being injured.

The doctor's technique was indeed good. When he took out the arrow, the wound on Lu Xuan's body did not expand much.

The Wusun guards standing nearby watched the entire process with their eyes wide open.

When they were wounded by an arrow, they usually pulled it out directly. Have they ever removed an arrow so meticulously?

The doctor followed Liu Tan's instructions and cleaned the wound bit by bit with a white cloth dipped in alcohol.

It must be said that this process was obviously more torturous than just removing the arrow. Lu Xuan was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Liu Tan went over and wiped his forehead, feeling a little reluctant, but he could only grit his teeth and let the doctor continue.

After the disinfection was completed, the doctor sprinkled gauze with medicine powder and wrapped the wound. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as you don't have a high fever and the wound doesn't ulcerate in the next few days, there will be no big problem."

Liu Tan nodded seriously and said, "Thank you for your hard work, doctor. But I'm afraid you can't rest yet..."

Before Liu Tan could speak, the doctor nodded and said, "I know. I will go and treat the wounded right away."

While Liu Tan was talking to the doctor, the translator cleverly repeated what the doctor had just said.

The Wusun guards breathed a sigh of relief, and after the doctor left, they looked at Liu Tan.

To be honest, their attitude towards Liu Tan was not very good from the beginning. After all, Lu Xuan was injured because of him.

Even though they knew that it was their little Kunmi who insisted on picking up the other party, people would always vent their anger on others.

However, Liu Tan didn't care about their thoughts at all. He just wanted to have a clear conscience. He was not gold, silver or jewelry, so how could he satisfy everyone?

Moreover, after Lu Xuan's condition stabilized, Liu Tan turned around and asked, "How is Ajia Mu?"

He remembered that Ajiamu seemed to be injured as well, and his injury was probably more serious than Lu Xuan's.

The translator beside him asked, then turned around and said, "He is being treated elsewhere."

Liu Tan took a deep breath, took out his bottle of alcohol and said, "Give it to him."

Although everyone was still somewhat skeptical about the effect of this thing, seeing that Lu Xuan's condition had stabilized, it at least proved that this thing should be non-toxic.

Moreover, ever since Lu Xuan returned to Xiao Wusun, he has been marveling at the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. In addition, the fact that the Wusun Kingdom took the initiative to propose marriage and the Han Dynasty's wedding procession was very large gave everyone the impression that everything in the Han Kingdom was more developed than outside the Great Wall.

So they didn't mind, took it and left. Liu Tan added: "It's best to use it according to the doctor's instructions just now, otherwise it's hard to say what the effect will be."

After Liu Tan finished speaking, he turned to look at Lu Xuan and reached out to touch his forehead. He felt a little hot, but it was probably a low-grade fever and not dangerous.

He let out a long sigh, left Bigo behind and told him to take good care of Lu Xuan, then turned around and left the tent.

Lu Xuan's followers were indignant when they saw him leave, saying, "Kunmi was injured because of him, and he didn't even stay to take care of her."

Bigao, who was standing nearby, suddenly uttered a cold sentence in Wusun language: "You are not allowed to talk about His Highness behind his back."

Everyone in the tent was startled and looked at Bigo with question marks on their faces: You can speak Wusun language too?

Bi Gao didn't know how to speak it originally, but Wusun was very simple. How complex could a language without even written characters be? So he learned it this time.

This is why Liu Tan didn't know. If he knew, he would definitely doubt his own IQ: Why can't he do it?

At this moment, Liu Tan was looking at the data compiled by Huo Guang.

Of the 300 men in the team, 135 were injured and 30 were killed, including 86 with minor injuries and 49 with serious injuries.

Liu Tan frowned tightly. Not to mention those who had died in the battle, there was actually not much difference between minor injuries and serious injuries at this time. Infection from minor injuries could also lead to death, but the chance was much lower than that of serious injuries.

Huo Guang's expression was also unusually sad: "I'm afraid these seriously injured people..."

Liu Tan took a deep breath and said, "We'll do our best and leave the rest to fate. No matter what, we'll disinfect it first. As long as we can suppress the ulcer to the greatest extent possible, everything will be fine."

Huo Guang smiled bitterly, "But that medicinal wine... Your Highness only brought one bottle. How can it be enough for so many people?"

Liu Tan subconsciously asked, "Didn't we bring a lot of wine?"

There were also some things in there that were meant to be given to Lu Xuan. In fact, when he set out, he had already planned to strengthen his relationship with Lu Xuan. Of course, this strengthening of the relationship refers to the relationship between the big Han and the little Wusun.

Huo Guang whispered, "The situation is urgent. All the unimportant baggage has been abandoned, and the wine..."

Liu Tan: ...
