Chapter 141 This general doesn't seem very bright.
Jiang Nuanzhi, of course, was unaware of the situation outside Sanqi's tent; she had already followed the others into the camp.
"Physician Jiang, please wait here in this tent for a moment. The strategist will be here soon, and someone has already been sent to inform the general," the young soldier said as Jiang Nuanzhi poured tea.
"The strategist is..." Jiang Nuanzhi asked, somewhat puzzled.
The young soldier suddenly realized: "Look at my brain, Doctor Jiang doesn't know yet, does he? The strategist is the former Shen Wenshu, who has now been promoted by our General Wan to be the strategist of this camp."
Dr. Jiang nodded knowingly, "Thank you for your trouble."
After saying that, he still gave him two taels of silver.
The man refused to accept the money, saying, "The doctor saved our people; we're too grateful to accept your money."
As he spoke, he took a boiled egg from his pocket and carefully placed it in front of Jiang Nuanzhi: "This is a reward I received. I'm giving it to Doctor Jiang."
Before Jiang Nuanzhi could refuse, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't help but smile, but she didn't dwell on it too much. She got up and looked around. It was the same tent as before.
However, since Shen Wenshu had been promoted to a higher military rank, the things placed in this tent were no longer the same as before. The desk alone was more than twice the size of what it used to be, and various documents were piled up haphazardly on it.
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at it twice and was about to leave when she heard a commotion of footsteps approaching.
Before long, Shen Tingwen lifted the curtain and saw Jiang Nuanzhi, his eyes immediately lighting up with a smile.
"Dr. Jiang, it really is you. I've been waiting for you for so long!"
Jiang Nuanzhi stood up with a smile and bowed: "Greetings, Strategist. It's been a few days since I last saw you. Strategist Shen looks radiant, even better than before. I haven't yet congratulated you on your promotion."
Shen Tingwen waved his hand: "Isn't it all thanks to you? Don't be so polite with me."
With a touch of smugness, the strategist Shen smiled and said to the people beside him, "These ignorant fools, why are they serving this lousy tea to Physician Jiang? Go and get the Yunding Snow Bud tea that the general gave me earlier."
“There’s no need for such trouble,” Jiang Nuanzhi said with a smile. “I’m just a rough man, and I can’t appreciate fine tea.” With that, she took out 150 taels of silver that she had prepared beforehand from her bosom. “I’m sorry to trouble you again, strategist. I wonder if it’s still possible to redeem the people I want?”
"Dr. Jiang is really an impatient person!" Shen Tingwen laughed. "It's not too late to put things on hold for a while."
Jiang Nuanzhi: "The elderly are getting on in years, so it's understandable that they have some worries. I think it would be better to take them back as soon as possible."
Shen Tingwen: "Uncle Xin is in good health. I have already arranged a good tent for him, and he is being taken care of by others. You can rest assured. Now that you have entered the military camp, you should naturally go and see the general. The general instructed early on that whenever Physician Jiang comes, he will definitely invite you to sit in the main tent."
As he spoke, he stuffed the 150 taels of silver back into Jiang Nuanzhi's hand: "Keep this silver for now, we'll talk about it after we meet the general. Maybe the general will be so pleased that he'll give you Xinbo's slave status. Wouldn't that save you money?"
Knowing that Shen Wenshu was acting in her best interest, Jiang Nuanzhi readily agreed and thanked him with a smile.
Just then, a young soldier came into the room to deliver a message: "Strategist, the general has returned and summons you and Physician Jiang to come over."
Jiang Nuanzhi followed Shen Tingwen to the main tent.
When the soldiers saw her on the road, their eyes were filled with curiosity and inquiry.
There were few women in the camp, and yet she was with the strategist, which inevitably led to some speculation, and some even had a hint of sarcasm in their expressions.
Jiang Nuanzhi was quite frank.
However, the strategist was now blushing furiously. Seeing the few grinning soldiers passing by, he was so angry that he kicked one of them, saying, "If you dare to look again, I'll gouge out your eyes!"
"I won't do it again!"
The soldiers begged for mercy repeatedly, but they weren't afraid of him at all. In the blink of an eye, they ran away laughing.
"Please don't take offense, Doctor Jiang. They're just used to being cheeky," Shen Tingwen said somewhat embarrassedly.
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and said, "It's alright, they're just young people."
When I was a teenager, didn't I also enjoy watching excitement every day?
Upon hearing this, Strategist Shen couldn't help but glance at Jiang Nuanzhi: "The way you talk makes it sound like you're so old. As far as I know, Doctor Jiang shouldn't be older than that kid just now, right?"
Jiang Nuanzhi was momentarily stunned. Oh, right, her body is only sixteen years old now.
He just gave a dry laugh and didn't say anything.
"Hey, Strategist Shen, I told you to bring Physician Jiang, why did you bring your little wife along?"
Before we even reached the camp, we heard someone shout this in a gruff voice.
Jiang Nuan subconsciously looked up. She saw a man of medium height, broad shoulders, and a full beard looking in their direction. At that moment, she was frowning at the strategist, clearly not satisfied.
"General! What are you saying?" The strategist, who had just caught his breath, suddenly blushed crimson. "This is Physician Jiang!"
General Wan glanced at her and rolled his eyes: "Stop joking, such a chubby little girl, can she be a doctor? Are you kidding me?"
This person looks to be about the same age as my daughter, right?
My own daughter is still at home, fussing for sweet cakes. How could someone so young possibly cure a plague that even the legendary physician Magpie couldn't handle? Is this some kind of joke?
“General, it’s true.” The strategist was somewhat helpless. He had little contact with the general before and always thought that the general was a cold and hard man who was difficult to serve. But now he was increasingly finding that his general’s thoughts were not those of an ordinary person.
"General, when have I ever lied to you? Besides, this is not the time for jokes. The previous prescription was indeed written by Physician Jiang."
Jiang Nuanzhi stepped forward at the opportune moment to bow and said gracefully, "Greetings, General Wan. My surname is Jiang, and I am indeed a physician."
"Really?" General Wan stared at Jiang Nuanzhi for a long while, then looked at Shen Tingwen.
Shen Tingwen nodded firmly: "Absolutely genuine."
General Wan looked at Jiang Nuanzhi for a while before exclaiming, "The younger generation is truly formidable! I thought she would be an old woman in her fifties or sixties, but she turned out to be a young woman."
Perhaps the impact was too great, for he couldn't help but ask again, "Did you really write that prescription?"
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled without saying a word, thinking to herself that this general didn't seem very clever.
Maybe they can really fool them into bringing Xinbo home without spending any money.
