Two days ago, when Jiang Kang came to the clinic.
After everyone was dismissed, Eryi and Jiang Kang discussed the matter in the house.
"Excuse me, where did Doctor Er learn his skills? He is from the Ming Dynasty?"
"I am from the Ming Dynasty. My medical skills are not very good, and my master did not tell me where my medical skills were passed down. Why do you ask this?"
After several days of understanding, Eryi understood that the Ming Dynasty Jiang Kang was referring to was actually the country they were currently in. This country's territory closely resembled that of a certain dynasty in Eryi's original world, and they even shared the same language. Ling Ling Ba had helped her with her identity, and based on that identity alone, she was indeed a legitimate Ming Dynasty person.
Jiang Kang suddenly bowed deeply. "I have an unwelcome request, and only Doctor Er can help me with it right now." He'd considered it all. If Doctor Er was connected to that faction, he could simply not treat the injured man, and he would soon die. As long as Doctor Er was a Ming official, even if he knew something, he wouldn't disclose it.
If anything were to happen, even if she didn't have any martial arts skills, I could still use coercion to get her to do what she wanted. First courtesy, then force.
"This seriously injured man was originally a bandit. This was just a coincidence. He was just suppressing bandits, but he unexpectedly found the map in the village."
So, Jiang Kang told Eryi exactly what happened.
"The person behind this is scheming. Doctor Er cured this man, but there will definitely be more thieves coming to attack. I just hope Mr. Er is willing to play along with Jiang Kang for a bit. From now on, I, Jiang Kang, will personally guard Doctor Er and keep you safe."
"What do you mean?" Eryi didn't expect this either. However, he got into trouble for treating the injured casually. There are many troubles in the martial arts world.
Jiang Kang shared his plan: he had originally planned to bring Tan Ming back and spread the word that he was almost cured. If the enemy forces were truly concerned about the news leaking out, they would likely send assassins. In this situation, Jiang Kang only needed to capture one of them alive.
After considering the pros and cons, Eryi felt that this matter would not affect her business.
"Okay, I'll help you this time, on one condition."
"Please go ahead."
"My clinic has just opened, and it's very busy. Please remember to help me promote it after the business is done."
"It's a deal."
After reaching a consensus, Eryi began to seriously consider the feasibility of Jiang Kang's plan. One of the points was that regardless of whether the plan succeeded or not, Tan Ming must be preserved.
Er Yi thought for a moment. "According to what you said, since they have the map of the Ming Dynasty, they must have infiltrated the major sects. Can you be sure that everyone in your sect is innocent and not involved?"
"I haven't been able to completely suppress the toxins in this victim. If you want him to survive, he must be given medicine every twelve hours. I can give you the medicine, but he has multiple internal and external injuries and fractures, so he can't be moved. You can leave him with me."
"But the doctor's safety..." She had never practiced martial arts, and Jiang Kang thought Eryi was not good at martial arts, so he did not take her fighting ability into consideration from the beginning.
"No problem." Er Yi boasted, "If they come, I will make sure they never come back."
Hence, this arrangement was made.
Jiang Kang and Xu Hengzhi stared at each other with wide eyes.
Fearing a long night of trouble, Jiang Kang, along with Pharmacist Shi and several other disciples, had been waiting outside the clinic since early morning, waiting for Er Yi to open the door. Unexpectedly, upon entering, they saw an unfamiliar Xiantian warrior waiting nearby. Could this person be Doctor Er's trusted advisor? He couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
Jiang Kang was the first to break the silence: "I am Jiang Kang from Fenyemen. I wonder who this person is..."
"My name is Xu Hengzhi." Xu Hengzhi replied. He had been expelled from Mingyue Villa and did not belong to any sect.
Jiang Kang suddenly understood what was going on. This man was indeed the same as Doctor Er, not wanting to reveal his master's identity.
Seeing the two men flirting with each other, and not knowing what kind of lawsuit they were fighting privately, Eryi interrupted their eye contact: "Hero Jiang, this is the person you want."
Jiang Kang then remembered the important matter, "Thank you, Doctor Er, for your help." After saying that, he checked on Li Ziqian's condition.
He was breathing steadily, his whole body was tied up, and several acupuncture points on his body were pressed, making him unable to move.
Unharmed.
Li Ziqian was already middle-aged, and an examination of his meridians revealed him to be a Xiantian warrior. A clash between two Xiantian warriors would either yield to a certain advantage or be mutually devastated. Even if one emerged victorious, it wouldn't be easy. However, both Xu Hengzhi and Li Ziqian were neatly dressed.
Jiang Kang was immediately shocked. Could it be that Xu Hengzhi, at such a young age, had already reached the realm of heaven and man?
"Pharmacist Shi, come and take a look." Jiang Kang removed Li Ziqian's jaw so that Pharmacist Shi could check whether there were any poisonous fangs hidden in his mouth.
Upon hearing this, Pharmacist Shi stepped forward to inspect the man. After a moment, he pulled out the tools he had prepared and removed two of the man's back teeth. "Deputy Hall Master Jiang, I've removed the poisonous fangs from this man's mouth."
Li Ziqian looked angry, but he couldn't speak.
"There's no time to lose." Jiang Kang saw that the matter was settled. "Doctor Er, I'm sorry to bother you. I'll take my leave first."
"Wait." Eryi stopped him, "There's another one in the room."
Eryi had been using the comatose Tan Ming to practice his healing skills for the past few days. This helped him improve his proficiency and also slowed his recovery. His magic power would regenerate automatically anyway, so it was better to use it than not, killing two birds with one stone.
But he remained the same and never woke up. Jixiang had to feed him rice soup on time, otherwise he would starve to death.
…
In the end, Jiang Kang took Tan Ming and Li Ziqian away, leaving behind a reward of 2,000 taels of silver and 100 taels of gold. According to him, these were all the proceeds from suppressing bandits, so he didn't feel bad at all.
After Jiang Kang brought Tan Ming back, Pharmacist Shi took the initiative to ask to check on his condition.
"How did this injury heal so quickly?" Although Jiang Kang had mentioned to him before that Doctor Er was a skilled doctor who had cured many of the bandit's injuries, he couldn't be sure without personally examining him.
Doctor Shi was different from Jiang Kang. Jiang Kang had injured this man, and he had some idea of his condition, but only a rough outline. Pharmacist Shi, however, had personally treated him. He knew exactly where the wounds had occurred, how severe they were, and even the extent of the toxin damage.
Doctor Shi was unceremoniously ripping off the bandages that had been wrapped around Tan Ming's body. The situation was even more incredible, and it even made him doubt whether his memory was wrong.
He pressed a certain spot on Tan Ming's leg. "I remember this spot very clearly. It's clearly... What a brilliant bone-setting technique!"
"It's already great here!"
"The poison has clearly entered his lungs, how come..."
"This poison can be suppressed slightly with some medicine now."
"This man is still unconscious because his meridians are disrupted. Once I give him acupuncture and regulate his breathing, he will wake up."
Jiang Kang didn't let Er Yi suppress the poison in Tan Ming's body. If he died, he died. There was still one left. He threw the two men into the dungeon for interrogation, and the love they shared was suppressed.
