As she drew near, he gently leaned forward and slumped against her. He knew she was different from other women; she had enough strength to support him.
Sure enough, although Zheng Quchi's technique was clumsy, he steadily supported him, allowing him to lean against him and preventing him from falling to the ground.
"Yuwen Sheng, Yuwen Sheng, what's wrong? Are you alright?"
Zheng Quchi called out twice, but when he didn't respond, he simply bent down, picked him up, and quickly walked to the carriage.
Runtu and the others, seeing this, didn't have time to be surprised and quickly followed after them.
At this moment, Zheng Quchi had no intention of paying attention to their expressions; otherwise, he would have found that their expressions were indescribable and beyond words.
They were the closest to the general and wanted to rush over immediately to express their concern for his injuries, but the general's faint, restraining glance left them bewildered, standing there in confusion.
Although the general's face was pale and bloodless, the splattered blood made him appear utterly evil and ferocious, chilling them to the bone...
But all of this changed after the lady appeared...
He suddenly became both kind and weak, as if he were the most miserable and pitiful person in the world...
Zheng Quchi quickly carried the person back into the carriage, and then directed the Xuanjia Army to pull out the seats of the Panlong carriage to use as a reclining board. With some soft cushions placed on it, it would be just like a small bed where one could lie down comfortably.
Zheng Quchi didn't know anything about medicine, so he asked them who could treat injuries. Runtu volunteered to step forward and examine the wound.
"How badly is he injured?" Zheng Quchi asked, his eyes wide.
After giving the general a quick check of his wounds, Runtu hesitated and said, "...It's alright."
Zheng Quchi listened with some disbelief: "What do you mean 'not bad'? How is that possible? He lost so much blood."
He's already stained with blood, how could he possibly just casually say "it's alright"?
"It's just..." It didn't hit any vital organs.
Runtu had just examined the general's clothes and found that he was wearing a close-fitting soft armor underneath. Therefore, the sharpness of the weapon was greatly reduced when it became dull, and there was no wound that could have caused the general to bleed so much...
Therefore, he guessed that the blood on his body was most likely splattered on him by someone else, causing this terrible and serious injury.
But before he could tell the general's wife, he saw the general open his "weak" eyes, give him a meaningful look, and then close them again.
This process lasted very short a time, and the general's wife was focused entirely on the general's injuries, so she did not notice it.
Runtu, who had been warned, was speechless. He couldn't go against the general's wishes, but he also couldn't bring himself to lie to the general's wife.
So he simply obscured some of the facts but told the truth: "General, your most serious injury right now is this right hand. It needs to be reattached and treated as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause difficulties in the dexterity of your right hand in the future."
As for the injuries on his legs and body, although they look quite serious, they are actually all superficial wounds. Given the general's physique, he can recover simply by applying medicine and resting.
Zheng Quchi looked at his injured hand, his brows furrowed, and asked, "Then do you know how to treat it?"
"I only have some medicine for injuries and only know some basic treatments. I'm sorry, Madam," Runtu replied apologetically.
"Keep it simple. You apply the medicine first, and I'll go outside and find a sturdy piece of wood to immobilize his severed hand to prevent further injury," Zheng Quchi said quickly.
"Yes, I will do it immediately."
After this incident, Runtu not only treated the general's wife differently, but he was completely obedient to her. From now on, the general's wife would also be his most loyal person, in addition to the general.
Soon, Runtu cleaned Yuwen Sheng's wound, applied wound medicine, bandaged it, and changed him into a clean set of clothes.
When Zheng Quchi returned, he saw a frail, sickly man with a sorrowful expression on his cheeks and a body riddled with illness. His face was as pale as paper, his eyes were closed limply, and he was extremely weak.
"Madam, the general's wounds have been temporarily treated; the rest is up to you."
Runtu and the others took their leave, leaving the carriage to them.
Zheng Quchi looked at Yuwen Sheng, who was dressed in white, with a pale face and white lips. He looked like a ghost, deathly pale. She whispered guiltily, "I told you to trust me, and you really did, risking your life to create opportunities for me..."
She had mouthed the words, "Trust me," without saying a word.
She thought that he was so capable that he would definitely understand it, and sure enough, he did understand it, but he paid a heavy price for it.
"You said you believed me, so I believed you... My wife, have I done well?" Yuwen Sheng suddenly opened his eyes.
The difference between him with his eyes open and with his eyes closed is enormous.
With his eyes closed, he exudes an aura solely through his strikingly handsome face, reminiscent of a classical Chinese scholar. However, once he opens his eyes, even if he tries to conceal his presence, his innate powerful aura still makes people feel uneasy.
"You're awake?"
Zheng Quchi was startled at first, but his initial instinctive wariness was immediately forgotten when he saw him sometimes frowning, sometimes inhaling, and fine beads of sweat seeping from his forehead.
She knew it must be the pain from her wound.
But she couldn't relieve his pain, so she took out a freshly damp handkerchief and slowly wiped the blood and sweat from his face.
After his face became flawless, she saw his pair of incomparably beautiful "phoenix tears," and found a red gauze scarf among his pile of blood-stained clothes, which she then tied over his eyes.
