Panyu City.
More and more wounded soldiers were delivered.
Shen Qinghe walked forward quickly.
Looking at them injured, I was filled with worry.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Princess, we were attacked by the Japanese." Wang Ergou raised his hand and bowed, saying quickly, "Thankfully, the prince brought us here in time, so Song Ci and the others were able to save their lives. They are now seriously injured and need a doctor."
"Where's the prince?"
"Is he injured?"
"Don't worry, Princess. The prince is extremely powerful. These Japanese are no match for him."
"What about the others?"
"The prince has captured a man alive and is probably interrogating him."
"good……"
Only then did Shen Qinghe breathe a sigh of relief.
They were unfamiliar with Lingnan, and there were always various traps there. If they were not careful, they could fall into a trap. Even the most skilled martial artists could still die, which was the fundamental reason why Shen Qinghe was so worried.
Wang Ergou raised his hand and took his leave.
He immediately looked for a doctor.
The Yue people looked at this scene in surprise.
When they heard it was the Japanese pirates, many people's eyes were filled with fear. Some of them had fought against the Japanese pirates before and knew how powerful they were. Moreover, the Japanese pirates were extremely cruel and slaughtered people in Minyue. They were brutal and even liked to behead people.
For the Yue people, death was not a problem, but beheading was unacceptable. If they were beheaded, they would lose their sense of direction and would no longer be able to cross the Rainbow Bridge to see their ancestor. Instead, they would become a lonely ghost, wandering the mountains and forests.
In addition, they had previously fought against the Japanese pirates and knew how terrifying and cruel they were. Looking at these wounded soldiers, each one had a deep wound. The blood stained their bodies red, making them panic.
"The Japanese are coming... The Japanese are coming!"
"What should we do now?"
"Are you going to attack our Panyu City?"
"These Japanese are scary!"
“…”
Listening to their discussion, Nanyue King Jiejun also stepped out at the right time, and at the same time signaled them not to panic, "Don't panic, the Japanese are only brave in battle, we are braver than them. Besides, we have King Ning guarding us, so there is no need to worry!"
The Yue people looked at each other in confusion.
I was also very hesitant at this moment.
After all, they had been beaten and strangled by the Japanese pirates, forcing them to flee through the mountains and forests. With preconceived notions, they harbored a fear of the Japanese. Seeing these wounded soldiers now clearly brought back painful memories.
"The Japanese are also human beings."
"You don't have to be afraid."
Ning Que came back in an ox cart at this time.
Following behind him were Haizai and others.
"Tie Niu, take your men and return to the farmland. Bai Yu, arrange for your personal guards and the Yue people to jointly guard the main roads. If there is an attack by Japanese pirates, remember to set off fireworks to notify them."
"promise!"
They both raised their hands and bowed at the same time.
Ning Que casually threw a head onto the ground. It was the head of a ronin he had slaughtered. He said calmly, "These pirates simply took advantage of the surprise attack, which is why so many people were injured. As long as we prepare in advance, they won't be a concern."
"This... this is... a Japanese head?"
Even the Great Elder was stunned.
He walked forward quickly, leaning on a sheep-head stick.
"How many Japanese are there in this group?"
"More than 300, all dead." Ning Que waved his hand calmly, "Tie Niu, remember to take people to clean up the farmland. Use the Japanese corpses as fertilizer, and bury our people properly. Remember them and erect a monument. Later, provide compensation to their families!"
"promise!"
Tie Niu raised his hand and bowed.
Ning Que looked at the busy doctor again.
Fortunately, he had sent a group of doctors ahead of time, had them mine a large amount of hemostatic drugs locally, and built a simple camp for the wounded. Haizai had previously told him that many of Lingnan's shortcomings could be overcome and gradually developed. The only area that was lacking was medical care...
The Yue people lacked formal medical practitioners, relying instead on shamans. These shamans, claiming to be messengers of their ancestors, would perform rituals and conjure talismans to heal illnesses. With luck, they could survive, essentially relying on their own strength. Consequently, the life expectancy of the Yue people in Lingnan was very low. In the absence of major wars, the average lifespan was less than 40 years.
It wasn't just the healthcare system that was problematic; the Vietnamese also had poor dietary habits. Many preferred to eat raw meat, which led to frequent illnesses. Haejae even recounted a story about a Vietnamese man who, before dying, vomited half a liter of worms.
It's simply terrifying...
So Ning Que arranged a doctor in advance.
Some of them even taught the Yue people how to do odd jobs, like picking suitable herbs or helping to wash gauze. It was almost finished and ready for use.
"Why is he injured so badly?"
A familiar voice sounded.
Ning Que quickly turned around.
Chang Baicao walked in, carrying a medicine basket on his back. He looked a little tired, and the basket was still full of fresh herbs. Two medicine boys followed behind him, wearing only very simple straw sandals.
“Uncle Chang!!!”
Ning Que was immediately overjoyed and quickly stepped forward, "It's true that arriving early is worse than arriving at the right time. Uncle Chang, you've arrived just in time. They're all injured, and now it's up to you to treat them."
"OK."
Chang Baicao nodded.
He didn't ask any questions, but followed the doctor back. In his eyes, no matter how serious the matter was, it was not as important as human life. These wounded soldiers had suffered so much, and Ning Que must have wanted to treat them as much as possible. Without them, the farmland would be in trouble.
"Dr. Chang arrived just in time."
"By the way, why did he bring two medicine boys with him?"
"Xiao Ning, why don't you send someone to protect him?"
"Because there's no need..." Ning Que smiled bitterly and waved his hand. "Uncle Chang is a renowned doctor in Jiuzhou, and his medical skills are quite superb. Along the way, anyone who knows his identity will definitely send someone to protect him. I just didn't expect Uncle Chang to come so early. This would actually be a bit troublesome."
"trouble?"
"Um."
Ning Que looked far towards the north.
"At the time, I was thinking of letting Uncle Chang wander around as a traveling doctor. Emperor Feng knew about my relationship with him and would probably send someone to follow him. Now that Uncle Chang has arrived in Lingnan, Emperor Feng might have guessed something."
"Is he that smart?"
"Don't underestimate him." Shen Qinghe narrowed her eyes and whispered, "You should know that Emperor Feng has been able to control the entire court for so many years since he ascended the throne, and he has always disguised himself very well. You and Haigui are the state teachers of Nanyue Kingdom, and Emperor Feng knew about it a long time ago. With so many merchant ships, it would be difficult for the Babao Trading Company to conceal your arrival in Lingnan. Even if they are not sure and are just guessing, they are likely to have sent people to find out the news."
"Yeah, that's what Qinghe said."
Ning Que smiled and nodded.
It is said that a woman becomes stupid for three years after pregnancy, but Shen Qinghe is not so bad.
All of these analyses make sense.
