Someone had actually confessed. Lu Qiqi's first thought was that it was related to what Song Yanqing had said today.
It will be soon.
She never expected it to happen so quickly.
Washing the whip marks on Doctor Lian's back with water and alcohol caused a burning pain to engulf his entire body. Perhaps because of the intense pain, he buried his head and hugged his legs tightly.
Looking at his bloodied and mangled back, Lu Qiqi couldn't even count how many lashes he had endured.
Cleaning wounds is something that's better to end quickly than to suffer for a long time. To ease Dr. Lian's pain, Lu Qiqi quickly and efficiently cleaned the wound.
Yunbian Winery hasn't yet used lime to produce anhydrous alcohol, so she can only use water-based liquor instead. She hopes these doctors have strong resistance and that the wounds won't get infected, otherwise they'll have to remove the rotten flesh, which would be even more painful.
The three of them disinfected and treated the wounds of eight doctors in succession, working for more than half an hour.
It's the hottest time of the year, so Lu Qiqi suggested not to bandage them, as wounds need a dry and cool environment to heal.
Covering the wound with bandages will only exacerbate the heat and cause it to rot.
After the wounds were treated, the eight doctors, fearing that the medicine would stick to their clothes again, draped the clothes over themselves and carefully made their way back to their tents to rest.
After administering the medicine to the eight doctors, the sun was about to set.
Lu Qiqi bid farewell to Physician Ren and his son, and went straight to Song Yanqing's tent.
Since one of the doctors in the medicine tent has confessed, the first person to know the news must be the commander-in-chief.
"The Crown Prince has left the camp and is not in the main tent."
Just as Lu Qiqi was about to lift the tent flap, she was stopped outside by Shijiu.
"They went out?" Lu Qiqi asked. "Did they say when they would be back?"
Nineteen stood still and shook his head.
Lu Qiqi immediately understood that as the commander-in-chief, Song Yanqing naturally did not need to report his whereabouts to his subordinates.
It was already dark, and a bright moon had climbed into the dark sky.
Lu Qiqi guessed that Song Yanqing might have to go out to do some business after hearing the confession, so it was normal for him not to come home tonight.
It wouldn't be too late to inquire about the situation tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Lu Qiqi tossed the medicine packet in her hand to Nineteen.
Nineteen quickly took it, put it under his nose and smelled it, then exclaimed in surprise, "Village Head, what is this? Is it a sachet? Why does it smell like medicine?"
Lu Qiqi looked at him with amusement. In the days she had spent with Shijiu, she found that he was not only cute, but also a chatterbox.
A person can talk to themselves and their mouth can keep chattering away.
She chuckled twice before saying, "This is a medicine packet. I put mugwort, perilla, cloves, patchouli, mint, and dried tangerine peel inside."
It has the effect of refreshing the mind, and more importantly, it can prevent and repel mosquitoes.
It's hot today, and there are lots of mosquitoes, so wearing it will be somewhat useful.
Nineteen's hands had just been bitten by mosquitoes, leaving two large welts. Lu Qiqi had cursed about it before she arrived, but now this medicine packet had come at just the right time, hitting Nineteen's sweet spot.
He held the medicine packet carefully in both hands, grinning from ear to ear, and said, "Thank you, Lord Xiang. I will definitely carry it with me every day."
"You're welcome!" Lu Qiqi waved casually and turned to return to her tent.
Back in her tent, she lit an oil lamp and then entered her spatial dimension.
The space has an extremely powerful preservation function; whatever is stored at a certain temperature will be taken out at the same temperature.
Lu Qiqi placed a pot of venison leg meat and a bowl of white rice on the small table in front of the cabin, then sat down to enjoy a sumptuous dinner.
She had cooked this pot of venison leg meat last night. She cut off one venison leg and shared the rest with Xiaoye and Wangcai.
The venison was stewed until tender and flavorful, and Lu Qiqi immediately showed off with two bowls of rice.
After eating her fill, she cleaned up the dishes and rested for half an hour before carrying a shovel to till the land.
The extra land from the previous space upgrade has never had time to be replanted, so now it's a good opportunity to use it for exercise.
Although the most pressing need in the military camp right now is medicine for wounds, she plans to grow food.
First, there are no medicinal herb seeds at all in the border region.
Secondly, even if they were to plant medicinal herbs, the wounded soldiers couldn't wait for them to mature.
In that case, it would be better to grow more grain. As the saying goes, with plenty of grain, there's no need to worry. It might even come in handy.
After working for quite a while, Lu Qiqi had sweated a lot.
After sweating, I felt much more relaxed all over.
She rested for a while until all the sweat on her body had dried, then carried the shovel back to the cabin, took a quick shower, and then left the space with Xiao Ye and Wang Cai, returning to the tent to sleep.
......
The next morning, Lu Qiqi was awakened by the noise outside.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she put the sleeping Xiao Ye and Wang Cai into her spatial storage.
After she washed up quickly, she lifted the tent flap and saw many soldiers in armor heading to the training ground.
What happened?
Without asking any questions, she followed the crowd to the training ground.
When she arrived at the training ground, she found that the sparse grass was full of people.
On the platform, Imperial Physician Ren sat upright in a round-backed chair, with Ren Yuan standing solemnly beside him.
Seizing the opportunity, Lu Qiqi nudged the soldier in front of her and, amidst the commotion, raised her voice, "What happened?"
The soldier leaned forward for a moment, realizing he had been shoved. He glared angrily, just as he turned to reprimand the person who had pushed him.
But it turned out to be a woman.
Besides General Qin, the only other person in the military camp was the village head of Kangle Township who practiced medicine.
The soldier froze on the spot, unsure of what expression to make.
Seeing him staring blankly at her, Lu Qiqi waved her hand in front of his eyes and said, "Wake up! What's all this about with so many people gathered here?"
Upon hearing this, the soldier finally reacted, his wide eyes returned to normal, he took a step back, clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "Reporting to the commander, I just received a military order that all battalions, except for patrol and guards, should send people to the training ground."
All those who come here hold military rank, the lowest being a centurion.
Just then, a person walked over, and both Lu Qiqi and the soldier turned their heads to look at each other.
The person who came was the centurion that Lu Qiqi had met when she first entered the military camp.
He stopped beside the two men and kindly advised them, "I have heard that today we will publicly execute traitors by slow slicing as a warning to others."
Lord, this is no stage for a play; it's extremely bloody.
Seeing this might give me nightmares; I'd better go back to my tent and rest.
Lu Qiqi hadn't expected it to be a form of punishment, but she was still grateful for the centurion's kind reminder.
She said, "Thank you for the reminder, Centurion. Although I am a woman, women are not confined to their boudoirs. There are also women like General Qin who fight on the battlefield and shed blood for the people of their region."
I do not aspire to be on par with General Qin, but when faced with the punishment of traitors, and with my heart filled with vigilance, I will certainly not retreat a single step.
These words were spoken with such force and conviction that they impressed the centurion, who laughed heartily and praised, "Lord Kang Le has quite the spirit!"
