Chapter 140 Damn it, he tricked me.
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at Sanqi.
He asked with some skepticism, "Do you really know General Wan?"
Sanqi thumped his chest loudly: "I prescribed medicine for him before, and he served in the same court as my grandmaster, so I should at least give him some face."
"To be honest, I suspect this treatment for the epidemic either comes from my master or one of my fellow disciples. General Wan was only transferred here because the previous general was dismissed due to the epidemic. We've relieved his greatest worry; all we need is a convict slave. How difficult could that be?"
Jiang Nuanzhi squinted at him: "How did you know I wanted to redeem a slave?"
Sanqi: "Sigh, I've investigated you thoroughly. I know exactly which masters you've served and what you've done."
Halfway through his sentence, he sensed something was amiss. Turning his head, he saw Jiang Nuanzhi's ashen face and swallowed hard. "Ahem, well, I don't think those secret reports submitted are necessarily true. The reports say that Doctor Jiang has never studied medicine, but the Doctor Jiang I know is completely different. So those things are not credible."
Then, he tentatively asked, "When did you learn such superb medical skills, Doctor Jiang?"
Jiang Nuanzhi: "No comment."
She continued walking forward.
Sanqi stopped the person again: "Dr. Jiang, is there really no room for negotiation? If you go forward like this, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get through this gate."
Those are people who have actually been on the battlefield; they don't show any mercy, and they might just kick you out.
Sanqi's eyes darted around: "I only said that because I considered you one of my own. Now that we're in the military camp, we only care about status and position. Women aren't allowed to speak here."
Jiang Nuanzhi: "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Sanqi smiled and said, "I just wanted to help you."
Of course he has to help! Even if she doesn't allow it, he has to help! Otherwise, how can he be satisfied? And how can he get the antidote if he's not satisfied?
He raised an eyebrow at Jiang Nuanzhi and said, "Don't you believe me? I'll show you and you'll see!"
Then, he took two steps forward with his hands behind his back and beckoned to the two guards at the gate: "You two! Come here."
The next second, the two guards at the gate looked over.
Then, with a genuine look of surprise on their faces, they jogged over without stopping at all.
Sanqi, who had been somewhat uncertain, felt relieved upon seeing this scene. She proudly raised her chin and looked at Jiang Nuanzhi, saying, "See? These people who usually ignore you are now at my beck and call. Now you know the benefits of traveling with me, right?"
Jiang Nuanzhi: "."
Damn it, he tricked me.
As the two approached, Sanqi adopted an even more imposing stance, unable to suppress a smile, yet feigning nonchalance, and loudly ordered, "You've done well. I'll put in a good word for you with General Wan when I see him. Lead the way."
Before he could finish speaking, the two guards bypassed him and headed straight for Jiang Nuanzhi behind him.
The two guards walked so fast that they brushed past Sanqi, making his hair a little messy.
When Sanqi, with her messy hair, stiffly turned around, she saw the two people looking at Jiang Nuanzhi excitedly.
"Dr. Jiang!"
"It really is Dr. Jiang! We were too far away to see clearly just now, we didn't expect it to really be you!"
"You've finally arrived! You have no idea how long the strategist has been waiting for you!"
“This thing is quite heavy, how can we trouble Doctor Jiang to carry it herself? Give it to me quickly!” One of the younger boys immediately took Jiang Nuanzhi’s basket from her back.
The two of them chatted back and forth as they escorted Jiang Nuanzhi inside.
One of them couldn't wait any longer and jogged ahead to clear the way. As he ran, he shouted, "Doctor Jiang is here! Doctor Jiang is here! Quickly, go and inform the strategist!"
The other one stared intently at Jiang Nuanzhi, as if afraid she would run away. Neither of them gave Sanqi a single glance from beginning to end.
Sanqi stood there bewildered for a while before stiffly pinching her own face: "Am I dreaming? Does Doctor Jiang know these people?"
Realizing belatedly what he had just boasted about, he immediately buried his head in the grass.
Hmm, suddenly I don't want the antidote anymore, because... I'm too ashamed to live!!!
His fist pounded on the grass several times.
Damn it!
Why didn't Dr. Jiang say so sooner?
Just watching myself make a fool of myself!
Women are truly terrifying.
Gritting his teeth, he still chased after them.
But when they reached the door, they were stopped by two cold blades.
By then, two new guards had been assigned to the gate. They frowned as they looked at Sanqi: "This is a military camp, no unauthorized personnel are allowed to approach!"
Sanqi pointed incredulously at his nose: "Hey, do you know who I am?"
The guard's expression remained unchanged: "No matter who you are, this is a military camp, and you are not allowed to enter at will. Please leave."
Sanqi gritted his teeth: "Hey, my grandmaster is the Magpie Divine Physician! Do you know that your general offered me money to stay, but I refused! You will be severely punished for treating me like this!"
"Your grandmaster is the legendary physician Que? Then my master is the Imperial Preceptor of Jing! Anyone can brag."
The guard chuckled, "Alright, stop bothering us on duty! Go find somewhere cool to stay."
It's not their fault, though; Sanqi's clothes were now quite disheveled, unrecognizable from his original appearance. His face was bruised, and he didn't look like a respectable person at all.
"Gentlemen, I am really familiar with your general."
"Yes! I also know that Magistrate Sun! He was the one who brought me into your military camp before..."
The two still did not react.
Sanqi gritted his teeth: "I came here with Dr. Jiang, didn't you see? I'm her best friend. She'll be angry if you treat me like this!"
The gatekeeper hesitated upon hearing this: "Did you see him come with Doctor Jiang?"
The guard across the way frowned: "They seem to be from the same place, but Dr. Jiang ignored him, so they probably aren't that close, right?"
"Should we go and reply?"
"Wait a moment. The general and the strategist have been waiting for Physician Jiang for a long time and they must want to speak. It might not be good for such a young boy to go in."
"Okay, I'll report it later."
"good."
Sanqi's lips twitched as she listened: "Hey! Do you two think I don't exist?"
The two men glanced at him and answered his question silently.
Sanqi stomped her feet in anger: "You...you've absolutely infuriated me! I'll definitely tell my grandmaster everything about you!"
"No! Tell Dr. Jiang everything!"
