Chapter 110: Traveling to the Ancient Times to Open a Clinic 24: Female Military Doctor
As soon as they arrived, everyone in the carriage smelled a strong smell of blood, which made them feel nauseous.
In the reflection of the setting sun, Chen Qian saw many wounded soldiers sitting or lying around the tent, their faces covered with blood. Some of them collapsed weakly on the ground, their bodies covered with shocking wounds, blood flowing from the wounds, and they no longer had the strength to wail.
Not far away, there were soldiers carrying the wounded and dead bodies from afar.
"Master..." Ah Ying cried out in fear, her body trembling slightly.
Chen Qian looked back at everyone in the car: "I know you are all very scared, I am scared too, but if we work together to assist the military doctors here, many of these wounded soldiers will not have to lose their lives. As long as we can save one more person, it will be a victory."
Everyone was a little scared at first when they saw so many injured people, but when they heard Chen Qian say this, they instantly came to their senses.
The girl was right, they came to help save people, and as long as they could save one wounded person, their trip would not be in vain!
Cui Liu hugged Ah Ying and coaxed her, "Junior sister, you did a great job just now. Don't be afraid. I will accompany you later. Let's save people together, okay?"
Ah Ying wiped the tears from her face and said, "Well, I'm not afraid anymore."
She was the one who insisted on coming along. She had finally begged for this opportunity by kneeling and kowtowing to her master. How could she be scared away?
Ah Ying recalled the tragic scene before her mother's death. She of course remembered that she came to save people, and she must save more people from the Yi enemy army!
Chen Qian quickly led everyone out of the car. She asked Wu Hen to find the generals here. It would be best if they could find Gu Jingxing himself, but if not, they had to find someone who could speak to them, explain the situation to him, and then cooperate with their treatment as much as possible.
Wu Hen naturally knew the seriousness of the matter and hurried to deal with it.
Shen Qian was engaged in rescuing the wounded.
"Master, there is a wounded person here who needs you to come over immediately!"
"Junior sister, you take this!"
"Sister Lingyuan, can you help me turn this person over? She is injured on her back."
With the previous cooperation, Shen Qian discovered that Cui Liu was emotionally stable when facing emergencies, had a very accurate ability to judge the injuries of the wounded, and could accurately allocate on-site resources. So he gave the command to her and concentrated on treating the wounded.
Cui Liu did not let down her responsibility. She checked every injured person she saw here at an extremely fast speed and then quickly classified them.
When encountering some people who were emotionally agitated or refused to cooperate, Cui Liu did not panic. She communicated with them in a calm voice, informing them of their identities and purpose.
There were military doctors on the scene providing treatment, but the wounded kept coming in and the doctors were overwhelmed.
Doctor Liu did not even bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead as he was giving acupuncture to a seriously injured soldier, when he saw a woman approaching. He subconsciously looked up and saw that the woman was wearing a veil and his face could not be seen clearly. She was holding gauze to bandage the wound and was treating the patient.
"Who are you?" asked Doctor Liu.
"My girl is a doctor, and we are here to help treat the wounded."
Doctor Liu quickly asked, "Your daughter's last name... is Shen?"
Meixiang nodded: "Yes."
Doctor Liu felt that a large burden on his shoulders was suddenly lifted. Doctor Shen was here. Her medical skills were quite amazing. Many of these wounded soldiers might be saved!
The third prince, Prince Yu, was furious at the moment. He saw a group of women coming into the military camp from afar and shouted angrily, "Where did these women come from? Who allowed them to enter the military camp?"
The people below did not dare to offend the Third Prince at this time, and answered carefully: "It is said that it was a female doctor invited by General Gu."
"What a joke!" Xiao Jinxiang snorted coldly, "There's no such thing as a woman being a doctor in this world. Instead of using the army's own doctors, they go out and hire some outside. It's simply laughable."
After King Yu finished speaking, he ordered his men to arrest these women and drive them out of the military camp.
Doctor Liu happened to be nearby. Upon hearing this, he quickly stepped forward to explain, "King Yu, this is not allowed. Although Doctor Shen is a female physician, her medical skills are quite remarkable. Even I cannot compare to her. Please, King Yu, order that Doctor Shen be given more opportunities so that she and her maid can better treat the wounded."
King Yu's face turned pale, and then he looked incredulous: "Your medical skills are not as good as a female doctor? Are you trying to fool me?"
Doctor Liu looked ashamed and said, "I am telling the truth. Perhaps King Yu will know after a while."
What doctor would willingly admit that his skills were inferior to others? But Doctor Liu had already witnessed Shen Qian treating the eldest prince in Suchuan. At that time, the eldest prince was on the verge of death, and it was Doctor Shen's miraculous hands that brought him back to life overnight.
Of course, this matter was top secret and only the people the general trusted knew about it. Naturally, Doctor Liu would not reveal a single word at this time.
In fact, what he wanted to do was to delay time. As long as he could delay until General Gu came back, everything would be solved.
King Yu was in a bad mood at the moment and didn't bother to care about the female doctor: "Forget it, you go down first." He waved his hand and sent her away.
Eunuch Cao came out from the darkness and said, "Your Highness, don't be upset. These are just small matters. They won't affect the big things."
Prince Yu was upset about this matter. Hearing what he said, he said unhappily, "How can it be okay? I originally thought that Gu Jingting was at least Gu Jingxing's younger brother and had some talent, but I didn't expect him to be such a fool and simply incapable of the responsibility! Father finally agreed to let me be the commander-in-chief, but I just arrived in Qingyang and I've caused such a big mess!"
Eunuch Cao leaned forward with a sinister smile and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor appointed you as the commander-in-chief, but he didn't ask you to lead the troops in battle. This time, the commander-in-chief is Gu Jingxing, and the deputy commander is Gu Jingting. They are all from the Gu family. Even if there are any mistakes on the battlefield, it will be the Gu family's fault. What does it have to do with you, Your Highness?"
King Yu was stunned: "What...what do you mean?"
Eunuch Cao whispered, "As the commander-in-chief, you only need to report the crimes of these two men to the emperor and explain that you tried to persuade them before the battle, but Gu Jingting was stubborn and unwilling to persuade him. In addition, Gu Jingxing was stubborn and unwilling to say a soft word to his brother, which led to the brothers' emotions being brought to the battlefield, resulting in heavy losses."
After hearing this, the expression on King Yu's face finally eased a little. That's right, his father asked him to supervise the army just to be his ears and eyes. As long as he made his responsibilities clear, he would not be punished by his father.
In fact, this matter is not completely unrelated to him.
Ever since Gu Jingting received the emperor's order to go to the battlefield as a deputy general, he has been eager to make achievements on the battlefield.
His father, Gu Boyuan, was the prime minister of the dynasty. His eldest brother had fought in many battles since he came of age, and had made countless military achievements. He was awarded the title of general and was promoted to the first rank. He was on equal footing with his father in the court. Only he was a son-in-law who held a sinecure.
He was also successful at a young age. He won the favor of the emperor because of his good literary talent and married the princess, becoming a royal consort. His status and position were greatly different, and he became increasingly unwilling to be inferior to his brother.
In addition, the Gu family is actually worried because Gu Jingxing offended the Queen's brother Zhou Shiyong in his early years. The conflict between the two has become increasingly serious and almost irreconcilable.
In order to improve their relationship with the Zhou family, both Gu Boyuan and Gu Jingting have done a lot secretly over the years. However, in addition to becoming Princess Shaoyang's consort, Gu Jingting also urgently needs to prove his ability.
This time, becoming Gu Jingxing's deputy general was an opportunity, but he didn't expect that after his side won a small victory, he wanted to pursue the victory. In addition, King Yu also hinted that he should not be too conservative. Gu Jingting could not hold back and wanted to quickly capture the enemy with thundering force, take back Qingyang, and establish a great military exploit for himself. However, he did not expect that the result of insisting on sending troops would be... a miserable defeat.
King Yu also contributed to this matter. Gu Jingting needed a chance to prove himself, and King Yu had the same need. Gu Jingting also married King Yu's sister, so the relationship between the two was naturally close.
Gu Jingting could not resist the instigation and encouragement of King Yu, and took the initiative to lead 20,000 troops and blindly pursued the enemy while they were retreating.
Fortunately, Gu Jingxing had a backup plan, preventing the 20,000 men from perishing under the enemy's powerful crossbows. He led a thousand cavalrymen to outflank the Wolf Cavalry from behind, catching them off guard and saving the fool Gu Jingting, who was now on his way back. However, even if Gu Jingxing had extraordinary abilities, he couldn't prevent this disastrous defeat.
At this time, the Gu family army was still cleaning up the aftermath of the battlefield, while King Yu was already thinking about how to pass the buck.
At this time, Gu Jingxing was riding a war horse and leading his troops back to the military camp. As soon as he got off the horse, he saw a familiar figure.
She was wearing a veil, and looked like a living Guanyin among the bloodstained wounded soldiers. Gu Jingxing walked towards her. Shen Qian was unconscious, but the needle and thread in her hand did not stop. She was stitching a seriously injured soldier.
Gu Jingxing walked over: "Chen Qian."
Chen Qian raised his eyes quickly and met Gu Jingxing's deep gaze. He looked tired and exhausted, and there seemed to be fresh blood on his armor.
Shen Qian quickly asked, "Are you not hurt?" His tone was full of anxiety and concern.
Gu Jingxing took a step forward and quickly explained: "It's not my blood."
Shen Qian was busy treating the seriously injured and dying soldier in front of him.
Gu Jingxing asked: "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Shen Qian immediately said: "There are many injured people who need surgery here. Prepare a separate tent for me. I can't treat the injured in the open air."
Surgery?
Gu Jingxing's eyes narrowed slightly, and without asking any further questions, he immediately asked someone to prepare.
Shen Qian stated her specific requirements. She wanted the room to be sheltered on all sides, with at least a table and a single bed inside. It would be best if some liquor and boiling water were available, and she also wanted a few more medicine furnaces, as she would need them at any time.
Gu Jingxing had his men do as he was told. Now that he was back, he was surrounded by Gu's soldiers, and soon the tents that Shen Qian needed were set up.
"I've told my subordinates that if you need anything, just tell anyone and they will do their best to satisfy you," said Gu Jingxing.
Shen Qian: "Okay."
There seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two of them, and they knew what the other wanted without saying much.
At this moment, Chen Qian didn't want to be polite to Gu Jingxing. She knew that Gu Jingxing didn't care about those false formalities. He just hoped that the silver needle in her hand could save one more person.
