Chapter 144 Returning a favor?
"That's right, Doctor Jiang, don't get stepped on! Get out of there quickly!" Sanqi's heart was in her throat. If this person gets trampled to death, who will treat the Emperor's poison?
Shen Wenshu also looked over with concern.
Lord Lu outside looked disgusted: "He's really overestimating himself."
Jiang Nuanzhi completely ignored the people outside and just smiled and said, "General Wan, please take two steps back and let me try."
After saying that, she stared at the frenzied horse for a while, and secretly took out a set of needles specially made for animals.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, he deftly mounted his horse in the next second.
The horse seemed to sense the danger and began to struggle even more.
Jiang Nuanzhi moved with lightning speed, inserting several silver needles into the horse's acupoints in the blink of an eye. Then, she swiftly dismounted.
Then everyone saw that Taxue struggled on the spot for a while, and then gradually calmed down, panting through her nose, but she was obviously not as furious as before.
After a while, it lay down on the ground, panting heavily with its mouth open and its tongue lolling out, but its gaze was very gentle as it looked at General Wan.
General Wan paused for a moment, then stepped forward and squatted down.
The horse seemed to have no strength left, but it still nuzzled his hand with its head.
"Old buddy, it's alright, it's alright."
He touched Ta Xue's head, his voice slightly choked with emotion.
Jiang Nuanzhi timed it perfectly and stepped forward to collect the needles.
The horse, however, was gentle in nature and seemed to know that Jiang Nuanzhi was doing this for her own good, looking at her with soft eyes.
Jiang Nuanzhi slowly and tentatively touched its head, glanced at it, and then checked its mouth.
Then, with a strange expression, he said, "Compared to ordinary horses, warhorses are indeed more prone to mental illness. However, judging from its condition, it seems as if it has mistakenly taken henbane. It is because of the hallucinogenic effects of henbane that it is like this."
After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Nuanzhi added, "However, the dosage should not be large. If a healthy horse takes the same dosage, it may not have much of an effect."
However, it's old, and its condition isn't very good, so it's prone to problems. I'll prescribe an antidote and add some sedatives. General, give it this for a while; its condition should improve."
General Wan seemed to want to say something, but his throat tightened, and after a while he finally said, "Thank you, Doctor Jiang."
Jiang Nuanzhi's dimples were shallow: "The general gave me the status of a slave, so naturally I cannot stand idly by. This is just me returning the favor."
General Wan was taken aback, then suddenly laughed.
"well!"
As he stroked Ta Xue's fur, a sense of lingering fear washed over him. Thank goodness he had given her the status of a slave first.
If she doesn't make a move, then Ta Xue...
Looking at Taxue, who was still rubbing against his hand, he felt a pang of sadness and a mix of emotions.
When Jiang Nuanzhi came out of the stable, everyone stared at her in shock.
Even the two veterinarians could open their mouths wide enough to swallow an egg.
"How do you know so much about horses? Are you perhaps a veterinarian?"
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's right. Do you two have paper and pen?"
While the two were still in a daze, they immediately took out paper and pen from their pockets and gave them to her.
Jiang Nuanzhi wrote two long sheets of paper, one for General Wan and the other for the two veterinarians.
"These are the medicines we'll need for the next two days, and these are the prescriptions for the medicines we'll need in the future, along with some precautions for daily care. I've written them all down. It's difficult for this condition to improve, but it's not difficult to control. If we follow the prescriptions slowly, it shouldn't relapse easily."
No one had ever seen a prescription given to this beast before, and they were all stunned for a moment.
General Wan was the first to react: "Doctor Jiang just said that Ta Xue may have accidentally eaten 'Heavenly Fairy'. What is that?"
Jiang Nuanzhi nodded: "Henna is indeed a good medicine for treating illnesses. It can calm the nerves, stop spasms, stop coughs, and relieve asthma. However, if used improperly, it can be highly poisonous. Not only can it cause hallucinations, but an overdose can even lead to death. On the way here, I saw quite a few wild henbane plants. I also noticed that the horses in the camp are somewhat agitated. General, you might want to check if there is a problem with the fodder in the surrounding pastures."
The horses at the camp are usually not herded. Is it possible that people cut the hay and then mix it to feed the horses?
Thinking about it this way, it's most likely a problem with the feed.
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at it casually just now and there was indeed no Datura stramonium in the feed, which showed that there was something fishy going on.
However, this was an internal matter within the military camp, so Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't say too much and could only touch upon it briefly.
General Wan was no fool, and he frowned thoughtfully. Clearly, he had already figured things out.
The people around were stunned by Jiang Nuanzhi's words.
Even Lord Lu now looked at Jiang Nuanzhi with a strange expression.
At this moment, Jiang Nuanzhi approached, but he suddenly laughed. The previous contempt in his eyes was gone, but he still spoke rudely.
"You do have some skill, but you should still revise your words a bit. Even a young man full of vigor should have some respect for his elders, don't you think?"
She didn't know what was wrong with him, but he kept causing her trouble. This man was a prefect, and he was quite petty. She decided it was better to avoid trouble, so she just nodded and said, "Thank you for your guidance, sir."
"Dr. Jiang, I will remember what happened today. Let's go have a drink!"
Seeing General Wan talking about drinking, but his eyes couldn't help but dart towards the hay, Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and said, "General, I am a woman, so I won't drink. My husband and children at home have been waiting for a long time, and it's getting late. I wonder if you could do me a favor and let me take my people back first?"
"No, no, why are you in such a hurry?"
General Wan immediately tugged at Lord Lu beside him: "Please trouble Physician Jiang to take a look at Madam Lu as well."
He knew of the hardships that Lord Lu and his wife had endured over the years, and naturally felt anxious for them now.
Upon hearing this, Lord Lu frowned and said, "No need."
General Wan's eyes widened: "Why not? Haven't you been searching for a miracle doctor for so long? Now that he's right in front of you, why are you stopping him from seeing the doctor? It just so happens that Doctor Jiang is right here. It won't be easy for you to find someone like him again!"
Lord Lu slapped General Wan's hand away from him, his face full of refusal, and said, "There's really no need. My wife is perfectly healthy."
In his heart, he cursed General Wan several times over.
Is he sick? Why would he let a veterinarian treat his wife?
General Wan, seeing that he was about to miss this opportunity, pointed at him with exasperation and said, "Are you out of your mind?"
Lord Lu glared at him, "Your eyes are the one that's bad!"
General Wan gritted his teeth, but still cherished the friendship, and said to Jiang Nuanzhi with a smile, "How about staying another day?"
Jiang Nuanzhi shook her head: "I won't bother you any longer, I'll head back now."
Helpless, General Wan sighed and finally said, "Then let Military Advisor Shen see you off. Military Advisor, you must take good care of him."
Military Advisor Shen nodded: "Yes, General, rest assured."
General Wan glanced at Jiang Nuanzhi and said earnestly, "My military camp welcomes Physician Jiang at any time."
Jiang Nuanzhi was taken aback when she heard this. She smiled and responded, then left with Strategist Shen.
Sanqi immediately followed suit, scurrying off along with them.
Later that evening, Lord Lu stayed at the camp for his meal.
During the meal, he finally couldn't hold back and snorted coldly, "Old Wan, are you crazy? Why would you call some young girl to treat my wife's illness?"
