Chapter 145 What awful things have I done?
Upon hearing him mention this, General Wan looked at him with a face full of disappointment and frustration.
"I'm not trying to be mean, but why are you putting on such a hard show in front of the miracle doctor? You didn't even say a few nice words today so someone could take a look at you and your wife. What a great opportunity!"
"I think you're seriously ill." Lord Lu was so angry that he put down his wine glass. "She's a veterinarian! You want her to treat me and my wife? Have you lost your mind?"
"You're absolutely stubborn! How could she just be a veterinarian? Wait, so what if she's a veterinarian? Who says a doctor who treats animals can't treat humans? My Ta Xue was saved by her. If she hadn't helped, Ta Xue and I would have been forced to separate!"
Lord Lu rolled his eyes at his expression: "I can't reason with a roughneck like you. The news in this city is getting more and more unreliable. I heard rumors that the Divine Physician came to your camp. I thought it was really the Divine Physician, but it turns out to be just a young girl."
General Wan curled his lip: "I think the rumors about Doctor Que are a bit too much. The prescription he initially gave was not effective, and the prescription from his successor was just average. On the contrary, Doctor Jiang, although young and not famous, is really skilled. It's a pity that she doesn't agree to stay in my army."
Upon hearing this, Lord Lu frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Just as Lord Wan was about to say something, he saw that Military Advisor Shen, who had gone out to see Jiang Nuanzhi off, had returned.
"General, we have already sent someone to escort Physician Jiang out of the city."
General Wan let out a leisurely sigh: "Please take a seat. Are you settled in? How did you get back?"
Shen Tingwen: "They traveled by donkey cart."
General Wan slammed his fist on the table: "And you, why did you bring a donkey cart? She not only saved our entire camp, but even the entire population of Canglin City! You should at least buy her a horse-drawn carriage to send her back!"
Shen Tingwen smiled wryly: "I originally wanted her to choose a carriage, but Doctor Jiang refused, saying that her family couldn't afford it, and only bought a donkey cart. That person was taken back by Doctor Jiang."
After thinking for a moment, he took out the silver note again: "This 150 taels was left by Doctor Jiang, who said that he would not make things difficult for us and would just follow the camp's rules."
Upon hearing this, General Wan's eyes widened in disbelief: "Why are you accepting this silver? Do we really need that little bit of money?"
"Difference."
Shen Tingwen rubbed his nose: "The epidemic has consumed a lot of manpower and resources. Medicines and food have been used up. Now the imperial court's ransom has not arrived yet, and we are really penniless. General, have you forgotten why the ransom was increased before?"
General Wan choked for a moment, then coughed lightly: "Doctor Jiang is very righteous. Now, I owe her a huge favor. Tsk tsk, I have never seen such a young girl before. She is truly a woman who is not inferior to men. The younger generation is formidable! If she were a man, she would surely achieve great things in the future."
After thinking for a moment, he sighed again: "It would be good if it were a daughter, but it's a pity that such a person is a slave."
Lord Lu seemed increasingly uneasy as he listened, and his hand holding the cup paused involuntarily: "Old Wan, what did you say?"
General Wan: "Hmm? I say, it's a pity that Physician Jiang is a slave."
Lord Lu: "Not that sentence, it was before."
General Wan: "Huh?"
Lord Lu: "Tell me, who saved the people of Canglin City? Wasn't the prescription you sent to cure the plague given by Physician Que?"
General Wan rolled his eyes: "What 'Divine Physician Magpie'? Didn't I already say that the prescription he initially gave was completely useless? It was Physician Jiang who solved the epidemic crisis."
Seeing Lord Lu's incredulous expression, Shen Tingwen beside him nodded: "Physician Jiang gave us two prescriptions, and we have tried them both. They can cure the epidemic. After the general received the prescriptions, he sent them to you without delay. The prescription you used for the whole city came from one of the two prescriptions written by Physician Jiang."
Lord Lu seemed to take a while to come to his senses. He suddenly stood up and slapped himself hard across the face.
"I'm such a bastard, such a bastard! What a mess I've made today!"
"What a... what a fool!"
"No wonder Doctor Jiang said that when he saw the prescription in the city, I...I..."
His muttering to himself left General Wan and Military Advisor Shen completely bewildered.
"Old Lu, are you alright?"
Lord Lu completely ignored the others and said to himself, "Someone, go and immediately replace all the portraits in the city with Physician Jiang's. Yes, and the notices too, change them immediately!"
"Sir, we don't have a portrait of Doctor Jiang."
"Yes, Lao Wan, where's the paper and pen? I want to draw and write myself!"
General Wan frowned as he looked at Shen Tingwen beside him, noticing his rambling manner.
"Tingwen, do you think if this fool of his goes to see Doctor Jiang for treatment, Doctor Jiang will forgive and forget?"
Strategist Shen: "It's hard to say."
At the time, everyone thought it was just a misunderstanding, but little did they know that this incident would later become a beautiful story.
The recipe was even engraved on a stone tablet, with small characters explaining its origins, for people traveling to and from Canglin City to view at will.
The female doctor who saved the entire city was remembered for years to come, and there is even a stone statue of her in the city.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
At that time, Jiang Nuanzhi was leisurely driving her newly acquired donkey cart home, whipping her little leather whip.
Donkey carts are smaller than horse-drawn carts. She originally wanted to buy a cheap one that would work, but Chen Junshi insisted on choosing a light cart with a canopy for her.
The donkey was quite robust and had a very gentle temperament. Jiang Nuanzhi was very satisfied.
Xinbo sat in the car, still acting erratically, hugging a pillow. He was eating the roasted sweet potato that Jiang Nuanzhi had given him.
He was much cleaner, his wounds had scabbed over, and he had gained some weight, so it seemed he had been well taken care of at the camp.
Sanqi rode a horse, with Xiaoli held by his hand, and rode alongside the donkey cart, looking at Xinbo in front of him with a strange expression.
"General Xin? General Xin? Do you still recognize me?"
He moved closer, squinted, and stared intently at his face.
Xinbo acted as if he hadn't heard him, quietly took another bite of the sweet potato, and then put it on the pillow: "Young master, have some."
Sanqi: "."
"Stop pretending, I know you're not crazy."
As Xinbo saw him approach, he looked at him warily and stuffed all the sweet potatoes into his arms, protecting them tightly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuanzhi frowned and looked back at Sanqi: "Don't upset Uncle Xin if you have nothing to do."
When Sanqi saw Jiang Nuanzhi, he immediately put on an innocent smile: "I never expected that Doctor Jiang would be the one who cured the plague. Doctor Jiang, I must speak to my master about your matter later. I think my master will definitely look at you with new respect."
