Inside a side room on the second floor of Wanfu Hotel, a man in his forties or fifties stood helplessly by the bed, surrounded by tall, burly men, making him feel nervous and at a loss.
But what left him most helpless was the swollen and gruesome arm in front of him.
The man was born into a family of doctors and learned medicine from his father from a young age. He has been treating patients and saving lives in the capital for nearly forty years.
But at this moment, he was helpless in the face of the situation.
"I'm sorry, I'm powerless to help. Please find someone more capable!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a beautiful woman grabbed the man's collar with a cold expression. "You must heal him today, or I'll kill you!"
The doctor had no time to appreciate the woman's beauty; he could only feel helpless.
He sighed heavily and shook his head, saying, "In this situation, let alone me, it would be almost impossible for anyone else to handle it. Nobody has ever seen this kind of injury before, so how would they know how to treat it?"
The doctor pondered for a moment and said, "I have heard about what happened. This man's injury came from the gun in the hands of the Poet Immortal. I suspect that something is still stuck in his arm. If it cannot be removed, he will not be able to recover."
“Then take it out!” Gongyang Tingbai said in a deep voice.
The doctor shook his head. "This is very difficult. The object may already be embedded in the bone, making this situation extremely challenging. Moreover, this method is very harmful to the person, and they will inevitably suffer immense pain. A slight mistake could endanger their life..."
Having practiced medicine for decades, this doctor certainly has the courage to try new things.
But the people around him were from the Northern Region delegation, and the one lying on the bed was a general from the Northern Region.
Firstly, he was unwilling to treat people from the Northern Region. Secondly, he worried that if he were to make a mistake during the surgery and kill the other person, he would certainly not survive.
Since that's the case, it's better not to take it on at all.
Gongshan Liqun leaned against the pillow behind him, sitting on the bed.
"Doctor, you can tell me what to do; you don't need to do it yourself."
Without hesitation, the doctor said, "If that's all there is to it, I can try, but I must make it clear beforehand that you cannot cause me any trouble, no matter what the final result is."
Gongshan Liqun affirmed, "That's for sure."
"So who are you planning to send to do it? It's almost impossible to find someone in the capital who is both willing and dares to do it right now."
Without hesitation, Gongshan Liqun turned to look at Gongyang Tingbai by the bedside. The moment their eyes met, Gongyang Tingbai's face paled slightly.
...
Inside the mansion, Tang Huan sat on a recliner as usual, holding a wine pot in her hands, her face already flushed.
Behind him, Qin Yuyang was gently rocking the rocking chair.
Qin Yuyang felt slightly resentful. This guy knew his identity perfectly well, yet he still made him do these trivial tasks like a servant.
They didn't feel any guilt or hesitation when ordering them around.
But this thought only lasted for a moment. Right now, Qin Yuyang was more concerned about the various boxing techniques and body movements that Tang Huan was displaying in the square.
Even now, that scene still flashes through Qin Yuyang's mind from time to time.
This is an absolute master.
"Da Kui, why don't we go and invite Rouge from Chunfeng Pavilion over?"
Li Daikui smiled and said, "Sir, that's not right of you. You have Xiao Qin rocking your chair, Xue'e massaging your legs and arms, and you even invited Yanzhi over. You're making them think you're looking down on them."
Xue'e squatted on the ground, vigorously pounding her legs.
She looked up at Tang Huan and said, "Sir, you can go directly to Chunfeng Tower. Why go through the trouble of having Miss Rouge come to the mansion?"
"I don't know how many people want to see me right now, so I'd better avoid them."
After saying that, Tang Huan looked towards the front yard.
Faint noises were coming from there; quite a few people had come to visit, but they were all stopped outside the mansion by mercenaries.
"My lord, you have made a greater contribution to Daqing this time, so why did you sneak away? I think the Empress is very satisfied with the result, and she may reward you handsomely."
Tang Huan shivered inexplicably. "Hey, I'd rather not receive any reward. The more you take, the easier it will be to escape. If it weren't for my unwillingness to see the people of Daqing suffer, I wouldn't even be willing to participate in this competition."
The only thing to blame is that the Northern Region delegation had too big an appetite and demanded too much.
Otherwise, Tang Huan would absolutely not be willing to reveal his gun skills and fighting abilities.
Exposing either of these two things would be troublesome, and now that he has exposed both of them, he has played another trump card.
Who are the people who came to your residence?
Tang Huan asked Li Daikui, and he learned that since returning to the mansion, only Li Daikui had gone to the front gate a few times. Tang Huan and the two women had stayed far away and showed no intention of going over.
"Those who should have come, and those who shouldn't have come, have all arrived."
"What does this mean? What do you mean by 'should come and shouldn't come'?" Tang Huan was somewhat displeased. Li Daikui also started speaking in riddles, glaring at him.
Li Daikui hurriedly explained, "Grand Eunuch Li Lianying, General Pang, and Lord Wang have all come. Lei Ding and Liu Danqing from Cui Renshi's side have also been here, and even someone from the Northern Region delegation has come looking for you..."
It seems that everything that should have come and everything that shouldn't have come has come.
Tang Huan's first thought was of the group of civil and military officials, and he immediately felt a headache coming on.
“I’ve already played two matches for Daqing and won so many for them. They shouldn’t need me anymore, right? Why are all these people coming to me now? I don’t have the energy to solve their problems anymore.”
Qin Yuyang did not stop what he was doing and said, "Perhaps it's just a gesture of goodwill. Before, you were just the Poet Immortal, but now you've shown your martial arts skills and won a great victory for Daqing. Your status in the capital will only rise higher and higher."
After saying that, Qin Yuyang asked curiously, "But what are the people from the Northern Region delegation doing here? Shouldn't they be thinking about how to treat that general's injuries at this time?"
Tang Huan chuckled, "Gunshot wounds are different from other injuries. At this time, most people who are shot would not survive unscathed. In the best-case scenario, Gong Shanliqun's hand would still suffer from long-term effects."
If it gets infected, there's a high chance the entire arm could become useless.
In short, once the gun hits the other party, Gongshan Liqun could no longer be the same as before.
"Yes, so what do they want from me?"
Tang Huan couldn't help but become curious. He gestured to Li Daikui and said, "Go and see if the people from the Northern Region are still there. If they are, bring them in. I have some questions for them."
At this very moment, countless people had already gathered outside the mansion gates.
Among everyone, a man from the Northern Region had an unpleasant expression and was glared at by everyone.
But he didn't leave; he stayed there waiting.
Suddenly, the gate, which had been closed, was flung open, and someone shouted sharply, "Are the Northern People still here?"
Everyone was taken aback by these words.
So many people are waiting to visit, yet Lord Tang immediately asks to see someone from the Northern Region?
