Chapter 604 Xijiang Soldiers Attack
"Master, I'll leave those wounded soldiers and injured civilians to you. Jun Lie hasn't woken up yet, and I really..." Xiao Jiuyue was really worried about Jun Lie being alone at home, so it was really inconvenient for her!
What's more, given her current status and being pregnant, she should be in Hongdu, not in Jiashui City.
"Okay, we are master and disciple, why are you still so polite?" Doctor Wang smiled. Compared with his previous disciples, Xiao Jiuyue is simply the best female disciple he has ever received in his life!
Not to mention his high talent, Xiao Jiuyue never thinks that being a doctor is a lowly profession just because he values his status!
Even Xiao Jiuyue cared particularly about the common people. Before she became pregnant, she often followed him to provide free medical services to the people in the village, the people in Yanjing, and the people in Lancang County!
Xiao Jiuyue also paid for medicine for everyone out of her own pocket. For some poor people who couldn't afford medical treatment, as long as they were really sick, Xiao Jiuyue would never charge them for medical treatment. Moreover, she was the type of person who did good deeds without leaving a name!
Xiao Jiuyue's attitude and thoughts coincided with his own. His original idea of studying medicine was to enable those people who could not afford medical treatment to also be able to afford it, rather than losing their lives because of a minor illness.
Although Doctor Wang was tired from traveling all the way to Jiashui City, he was very happy because he saved many people!
"Thank you, Master." Xiao Jiuyue didn't say anything more, only said: "The second batch of medicinal materials is on the way.
"If you still need anything, Master, just let me know." Xiao Jiuyue said proudly. Now that the business was on the right track, she basically only needed to collect dividends. When it came to money, Xiao Jiuyue had no shortage of it at all.
"Knowing that you have money, I won't be polite." Doctor Xiao Wang stroked his beard. For a doctor, curing illnesses and saving lives does not require considering any livelihood. Even if sometimes he needs to try new medicines, Xiao Jiuyue will not be stingy.
Doctor Wang is becoming more and more obsessed with studying medicine!
He has to study all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases carefully and record them down when the time comes.
Doctor Xiao Wang left in a hurry. Xiao Jiuyue stayed by Jun Lie's side, watching him unconscious, and murmured, "Jun Lie, are you still not awake? Xiao Xingxing is kicking my stomach. I'm worried about you!"
Xiao Jiuyue sat by the bed, watching until Hua Qing's voice came. Xiao Jiuyue immediately asked: "Hua Qing, go and take a look. Why hasn't Jun Lie woken up yet? Master also said that although his injuries are serious, they are not life-threatening. He has not woken up yet. Is there something wrong..."
Xiao Jiuyue asked a series of questions in one breath with worry.
Hua Qing comforted her, "Princess, I wanted to tell you yesterday, but now I have to tell you that the prince must have overused his supernatural powers, which led to his coma."
"You mean, his skill in taming beasts?" Xiao Jiuyue remembered the terrifying roar of the beasts yesterday. The pack of wolves were like Jun Lie's soldiers.
She later heard from Guo Yang that with the help of these wolves, the prince captured Zhao Xu, the second prince of Xijiang, alive and broke the trap set by Zhao Xu.
"Yes." Hua Qing nodded affirmatively. She looked at Jun Lie lying unconscious on the bed and said, "I've read about the Rouan tribe before. They have psychic powers in their beast taming techniques. Even those Rouan tribe members who don't have the skills have a natural affinity for animals. That's why the Rouan tribe's warhorses are very well cared for!"
For example, when the prince was fighting against Yongzhao, the war horses of the Rouan tribe also made great contributions.
"Then, how can we wake the prince up?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.
Hua Qing hesitated and hesitated.
Xiao Jiuyue frowned and asked, "Even you have no solution?"
"No." Hua Qing shook his head: "The old patriarch may have a way, but he is far away in Lingnan."
"Then go and invite him as fast as you can." Xiao Jiuyue said immediately: "Hua Qing, are you willing to save the prince?"
"Of course I do."
Hua Qing nodded without hesitation and said, "Princess, I wrote a letter and sent it to Lingnan yesterday. However, the journey is long, and the return journey will take a long time. I'm afraid the prince will have to wait a long time."
"Maybe things are not as bad as we thought. Jun Lie might wake up soon." Xiao Jiuyue looked at Jun Lie with soft eyes. She had been staying by Jun Lie's side, taking care of him without taking off her clothes.
Until the next morning, Xiao Jiuyue did not find any signs of Jun Lie waking up, and her heart sank.
"Princess." Guo Yang came in and saw that the prince was still asleep. He said anxiously, "It's bad, Princess. The Xijiang soldiers are leading 50,000 troops and attacking!"
"Fifty thousand Xijiang soldiers?" Xiao Jiuyue was slightly shocked, then said, "We have already recaptured Jiashui City. Those Xijiang soldiers didn't leave, but instead attacked us?"
"Yes, they are now camped five miles outside Jiashui City. It looks like they are going to fight a protracted war!" When Guo Yang heard the report from the spy, he immediately became worried: "Princess, the prince hasn't woken up yet, what should we do?"
"General Wang is totally unreliable, and our troops are no match for him now." Guo Yang was worried.
"The Xijiang soldiers surrounded us but didn't attack because they wanted to wear us out and force us to surrender." Xiao Jiuyue immediately realized what was happening. After a moment of deep thought, she said, "Perhaps they're afraid of the wolves."
"How many people do we have here now?" Xiao Jiuyue added, "Those who can fight."
"Less than 2,000." Guo Yang took a deep breath and said, "General Wang and his men brought 30,000 soldiers, but General Wang did not agree to go to war. Besides, the people belong to General Wang."
"Even if he didn't want to fight, he'd already been hit in the face. How could he still back off?"
Xiao Jiuyue raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Now that Jiashui City is under siege, it will take at least half a month to wait for the imperial court's reinforcements. This is under the assumption that everything goes well. If things don't go well..."
How could it be so easy to mobilize military supplies, food and personnel?
"Even if we have 30,000 men against an enemy force of 50,000, the disparity in strength between us is too great, so we shouldn't engage in a head-on confrontation." Although Xiao Jiuyue had never fought in a war, he had learned a lot about history in class. He knew all the battles, big and small, in history, and it wasn't uncommon for a few to defeat a larger force.
"Where is the second prince of Xijiang?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.
"Zhao Xu reached an agreement with the prince. As long as the prince releases him, he will tell the prince a secret." Guo Yang said hesitantly. No one knew about the conversation between the prince and Zhao Xu on the city wall that day except the prince.
"The prince is still unconscious. We should keep Zhao Xu under good care first. We should use our own people and we must not let him run away!" Xiao Jiuyue reminded that Zhao Xu is the second prince of Xijiang Kingdom. If he runs away, it will be even more difficult to clear the suspicion on the prince!
She didn't know what agreement Jun Lie and Zhao Xu had reached, so she decided to keep Zhao Xu locked up first. She asked, "By the way, let's find out who is leading the troops in Xijiang and what his relationship is with Zhao Xu."
