Chapter 143 The Berserk Warhorse
The chubby man spotted Jiang Nuanzhi immediately, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
"Old Wan, you need to replace the guards at your military camp. Distinguished guests who should be allowed in are being kept outside the camp, while those who shouldn't be in are inside."
After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Nuanzhi with disdain, then turned to General Wan and introduced, "Look, who did I meet outside your camp?"
At that time, Sanqi was treated as an honored guest by the chubby man and stood in a position second only to him. Upon hearing his words, she proudly raised her chin and winked at Jiang Nuanzhi with a hint of smugness.
General Wan was completely baffled: "What do you mean by 'should come in' and 'shouldn't come in'?"
Then, upon seeing Sanqi, he smiled and said, "Isn't this the little miracle doctor?"
"General Wan, it's been a long time."
General Wan: "Little Divine Doctor, how have you been? What brings you to my camp today?"
Now that the problem has been solved, he wasn't as enthusiastic when talking to Sanqi as before. Especially since he hadn't received a reply to the letter he sent to Doctor Que, and if it weren't for Military Advisor Shen running into Physician Jiang, he might be in a very different state right now. But since Sanqi was, after all, Doctor Que's successor, he naturally had to give him some face.
Upon hearing this, Sanqi smiled and approached Jiang Nuanzhi, saying, "I came with Physician Jiang. We were waiting outside, but Physician Jiang has been inside for so long. That's why I thought I'd come in with Lord Lu to take a look."
"I see." General Wan, upon hearing this, seemed to suddenly understand: "Oh dear, what a lapse in my memory! Let me introduce you all, this is Physician Jiang, her medical skills are truly remarkable. She is..."
"Old Wan, you don't need to say anything more. I have already witnessed Dr. Jiang's extraordinary abilities. Dr. Jiang is someone who thinks even the legendary Dr. Que is just average."
General Wan felt that while he couldn't guarantee the legendary Physician Que's abilities, this disciple of the Physician Que was no match for Physician Jiang, even though they were about the same age.
He glanced at Lord Lu with a strange look, wondering where his anger came from.
Instead of continuing his conversation, she smiled and said, "It just so happens that Lord Lu is also here today. I'm hosting a banquet at the camp to thank Physician Jiang on behalf of the three armies."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Nuanzhi beside him and said, "You can't refuse."
Jiang Nuanzhi frowned, about to say something, when General Wan shoved the slave register into her hand.
"I know you are worried. Here, take this. After you have eaten, if you want to leave, I will not stop you."
After all, she had done him a favor. Even though General Wan valued talent, he was still aware of the situation and would not stoop so low as to actually make things difficult for a young woman.
Jiang Nuanzhi was taken aback when she received this hard-won piece of paper. If she refused again, it would be ungrateful. So she readily agreed and said, "I will obey the general's orders."
After carefully putting away her slave status, a huge weight was lifted from her heart; all her efforts over this period of time had finally paid off.
Lord Lu was surprised to see that General Wan valued this extremely arrogant young physician so highly.
Before he could even ask a question, General Wan patted him on the shoulder: "Lord Lu, didn't you always want to see him? Now that you've seen him, why aren't you saying anything?"
General Wan said, winking at him.
Lord Lu was somewhat confused: "What?"
Before General Wan could speak, a rapid hissing sound came from the next second.
General Wan's face turned cold: "Oh no, it's Ta Xue!"
He immediately strode over.
A young soldier nearby saw General Wan and rushed forward anxiously: "General! Ta Xue's illness is getting worse, you should go and take a look."
General Wan didn't even finish listening to what he was saying before hurrying towards the stables.
Shen Tingwen led the group closely behind, and when he saw Jiang Nuanzhi's confusion, he kindly explained, "Ta Xue is the general's mount. It followed him to the battlefield in the early years. Now it is old and has some mental illnesses, which are particularly troublesome. Even the veterinarian is powerless to help it. It only feels at ease when it sees the general."
"This is a military camp, and these warhorses are making such a racket. Why haven't they been dealt with yet?"
The people brought by Lord Lu couldn't help but start discussing it.
"That's right. At the very least, they should be sent further away. It's fine during the day, but if it's at night, it will disturb the soldiers' rest, and the impact will be significant."
When Jiang Nuanzhi arrived at the stable with the others, she secretly went to take a look at the horse.
This is a horse that is entirely black with snow-white hooves.
Its neighing was hoarse as it circled and leaped in the specially designed enclosure, its nostrils flaring, displaying a frenzied state. An older veterinarian had been helped out of the stable, clearly injured by the horse. Several soldiers held bows and arrows, but did not fire. All of them wore expressions of vigilance.
"Ta Xue! Ta Xue! It's me! Be quiet, it's me!"
General Wan had already arrived, speaking with an anxious and distressed expression.
"General, be careful! This beast doesn't recognize people anymore; it might hurt you," said the soldier with a bow and arrow at his side anxiously.
"Get out of the way! Don't you dare shoot any arrows! Ta Xue will be fine as soon as she sees me!"
General Wan roared angrily, but when he turned to look at Taxue, he tried to speak as gently as possible: "Taxue, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, look, it's me."
At this moment, Ta Xue's eyes were clearly red, and she kicked out without mercy. General Wan barely dodged, his eyes filled with heartache.
"Ta Xue! Don't you recognize me?"
"General, please step aside! This horse is so erratic it even injured you. We really can't let it live," the young general with the bow and arrow advised again.
The veterinarian beside him was sweating profusely and said, "General, please stay away. Ta Xue is in a frenzy and may not recognize you."
“This horse is so unruly, even if we don’t kill it, we should at least send it far away.” Sanqi frowned and looked at it: “It looks very old, I’m afraid it can’t be cured.”
Upon hearing this, General Wan beside him suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "What do you know? He's my old buddy. My good brother and comrade-in-arms! I won't allow anyone to harm him! It's a promise, I'm going to take care of him in his old age."
"Ta Xue, Ta Xue, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I won't kill you, nor will I send you away. Rest assured, as long as I live, no one can touch you." His voice was firm and resolute, but his eyes inexplicably reddened.
His tone grew increasingly anxious, as he tried to calm Ta Xue down as quickly as possible.
However, Ta Xue seemed to sense the uncomfortable atmosphere of the frowning creature, and went even crazier, kicking out several more times.
General Wan was accidentally bumped, and he frowned, his expression becoming increasingly anxious.
"It used to be fine as soon as I spoke, what's wrong with it today?"
"Ta Xue, you really don't recognize me anymore!"
Jiang Nuanzhi looked on, then leaned closer to the veterinarian standing nearby and asked in a low voice, "How long has Ta Xue been like this?"
The old veterinarian standing nearby was taken aback when he saw a chubby little girl asking him a question, but he still replied, "It's been more than half a year. But she used to calm down when she saw the general, but I don't know what happened today. If it really doesn't work, even if the general is reluctant and wants to save Taxue's life, he can only use some kind of mute medicine."
Jiang Nuanzhi understood, and suddenly nimbly flipped over and went over the railing.
General Wan glanced at it and was startled: "Doctor Jiang, it's dangerous here, you should leave immediately."
