Chapter 123 There is no distinction between men and women in the military camp.
Lian Qiao immediately pulled the other two female doctors to the adjacent wounded soldiers' camp.
These are all wounded female soldiers.
Lianqiao was still stunned when she saw them.
The women were all dressed in military uniforms, and their hair was tied up high like the men's.
Almost everyone's armor was stained with blood.
Lian Qiao saw a woman take off her armor and apply medicine to her injured arm.
Upon seeing the injury on the woman's arm, Lian Qiao quickly stepped forward.
"I'll help you!" Lianqiao offered her assistance.
The woman shook her head, indicating that Lian Qiao should help someone else.
"It's just a minor injury. You go help someone else! I can bandage it myself."
After saying that, the woman put the medicine bottle with the wound medicine aside, picked up a clean cotton cloth and put it on the wound.
Lian Qiao didn't leave. After glancing at the woman's wound, she took off the piece of cotton cloth without saying a word.
"You didn't clean the wound, you just applied some wound medicine."
This can stop the bleeding and temporarily relieve the pain, but it is not good for the wound to heal.
Look, it's already showing signs of becoming infected.
I'll clean your wound, then apply some medicine powder, and finally bandage it. That way, you'll feel much better tomorrow!
As Lian Qiao spoke, she took down the small medicine box she was carrying.
Lianqiao took out a small knife that had been scalded by fire from the medicine box and carefully cleaned the woman's wound.
Cleaning the festering wound required surgery, but the woman remained silent, not even flinching.
Lianqiao didn't say anything, but quickly cleaned the woman's wound, applied medicinal powder, and then bandaged it with cotton cloth.
The woman was somewhat surprised by Lian Qiao's fluid movements.
They knew that His Majesty would be accompanied by imperial physicians and female healers when he came.
But in their eyes, imperial physicians and female physicians were people who treated the nobles in the palace; how could they possibly treat them?
Even if I could show it to them... it would definitely be done slowly and deliberately.
Taking a pulse diagnosis takes half a day, and writing a prescription also takes half a day!
Finally, the young medical apprentice had to prepare the medicine...
In short, they put on a very high-class show, as if it took an hour to serve everyone a plate of roasted mutton.
It looks delicious, but actually... it doesn't taste as good as the lamb they roast over a fire outside the camp!
But this young female doctor in front of me...
"Are you also from the Imperial Hospital?" the woman asked curiously.
Lianqiao nodded.
"Hmm! I'm just a female physician, and I haven't been in the Imperial Hospital for long, but I do have some experience. I've known herbs since I was a child, and I can also prepare medicines."
I can heal most common knife and arrow wounds!
"Then what were you doing at the Imperial Hospital? I mean, did you treat any of the nobles in the palace?" the woman asked, even more curious.
"I am a female physician, and I am currently only responsible for managing the medical records of noble people."
However, he would occasionally treat the female officials in the palace.
Before I came here, I treated a fifth-rank female official's knife wound!
The long wound on my back has no scar at all!
"Listen to me, and I'll make sure you don't have any scars!" Lian Qiao said with a smile.
The woman found Forsythia even more interesting.
People inside the imperial city even have knife wounds! And they're so long...
"I'm not afraid of scars! Don't believe me? Look!" The woman said as she showed Lian Qiao her other arm.
Lian Qiao immediately noticed the various scars on the woman's arms.
Some were knife wounds, and others were injuries sustained during training.
All those wounds left hideous scars on the woman's arm.
"You..." Lian Qiao could feel the pain just looking at it.
"That's how it is for all the soldiers in the barracks! Who doesn't have a few wounds on their body?"
Even if you're lucky and don't have it on you, you'll definitely have it on your hands!
"Here, can anyone be a soldier of the Weiyuan Army without a scar on their body?" the woman said proudly.
Seeing Lian Qiao looking at her in surprise, she quickly added, "In the Weiyuan Army's camp, there is no distinction between men and women."
Once on the battlefield, everyone is a soldier of Dayu, a member of the Weiyuan Army!
Lianqiao didn't know what to say.
She could sense a kind of vitality emanating from the woman, a vitality she had never seen before.
It was just like the feeling she had when she first met Song Zhimian in the inner palace.
She also felt that Song Zhimin had a lot of vitality about her!
"You...you are all very capable!" Lian Qiao looked at the woman with admiration.
"My name is Ling Shuang, what's your name?" The woman was also very interested in Lian Qiao.
"My name is Lian Qiao, and my ancestral home is in Jiangnan!" Lian Qiao quickly replied.
"You're from Jiangnan! Everyone says Jiangnan is beautiful, with scenery in every season. Is it really that beautiful?" Ling Shuang asked curiously.
"Yes, I lived in Jiangnan when I was a child, and Jiangnan is indeed very beautiful."
However, I later went to the southwest to study medicine.
"Ling Shuang, where is your ancestral home?" Lian Qiao asked hurriedly.
Ling Shuang was clearly taken aback, and it took her a while before she looked towards the north of the military camp.
“My father told me that our Ling family lived in a city that had been taken over by foreigners.”
But that place... we haven't been able to go back for a long time!
I only hope that when the imperial family comes this time, they will see us take back those two cities.
"That way, we can go home!" Ling Shuang whispered.
Lian Qiao's heart skipped a beat.
"Then... do you still have anyone at home?" Lian Qiao asked softly.
Ling Shuang finally hummed in response after a long while.
"Yes! Grandmother is still alive! Last time when the Weiyuan Army tried to attack the city, Grandmother and some other Dayu people were hung on the city wall by the barbarians."
Her hair is all white!
Ling Shuang's words left Lian Qiao completely stunned.
"and you……"
"It's alright! As long as we know she's still alive, that's enough! The commander said he'll definitely take back both cities."
We'll definitely meet someday!
Lianqiao, it's good to see you all living well. As the commander said, every soldier of the Weiyuan Army was born to protect the northern lands.
"We can definitely defend the North and retake those two cities..."
"Ling Shuang! Hurry, something's come up with the handsome man! Go quickly!" A voice rang out from outside the tent.
Ling Shuang, who was originally talking to Lian Qiao, quickly put on her armor and walked out of the tent without saying a word.
"Lianqiao, I'll come back to see you tomorrow to change my dressing!"
...
In the Weiyuan Army camp, Emperor Xiao Xuan sat at the head of the table, with Prince Zhao standing on one side and General Shen on the other.
Inside the large tent, besides the three of them and two deputy commanders, there was also a middle-aged woman dressed in tattered clothes.
As soon as Ling Shuang entered the tent, she immediately knelt down.
"General Ling Shuang greets Your Majesty!"
"Deputy General Ling, I've called you here to verify something. This woman claims to have been sent by your grandmother, and only you can verify her identity," General Shen said slowly.
Ling Shuang suddenly looked at the woman...
