Upon hearing the name Yi Lanbin, the first reaction of the Northern King was, "When did generals become so capable?"
He should teach Feng Yi to do the same!
Then, he suddenly had a wild thought: Could this guy surnamed Yi have tampered with the medicine?
However, the original owner's character is evident to all and is truly outstanding.
Moreover, the Northern King did not expect that doing so would bring any benefit to the already destroyed Dongli Kingdom, except for mutual destruction, and decisively ruled out this possibility.
But... medicine and poison have always been inseparable.
The Northern King couldn't help but worry again. What if Yi Lanbin really posed a fatal threat to him?
Or... should we kill them to prevent future trouble?
But he really couldn't bear to part with it!
The first effective treatment for headaches discovered in the history of Beishang is this soup that tastes like weeds!
King Beishang was truly impressed.
Yi Lanbin, oh Yi Lanbin, if you have such miraculous healing skills, why didn't you say so earlier? Why did you become a damn useless general who risks his life on the edge of a knife?! How is he supposed to handle this?
And also, King Dongli, you have such a talent and you don't know how to use him? You're so useless! If you don't know how to use him, then give him some Bei Shang!
Look at my General Feng Yi of Bei Shang. I often let him develop in all aspects by doing missions. He has done all kinds of work. There is no way I could not discover any of his strengths.
After much deliberation, the Northern King still wanted to recruit this talented individual.
But having just been thoroughly frightened by the King of Dongli, that loyal but stubborn general probably wouldn't serve Beishang so easily.
Moreover, he had already heard Zhang Heyi recount the entire story after secretly embellishing his own account.
The foolish young man from the Zhang family had to make a vicious bet to get people to agree to it, and only after using a provocation tactic did he discover that Yi Lanbin had this ability.
Look at them, they'd rather stay in the prisoner-of-war camp and suffer comfortably than show off their talents.
Yi Lanbin is indeed a difficult person to deal with.
However……
Yu Ling was just being clever; how could she have imagined that her casually prepared medicine would cause such a huge reaction!
Let alone a complete cure.
He didn't even receive any treatment.
The medicinal soup was made by boiling willow bark that he scraped off while wandering around...
Willow bark! Bark that hasn't even been processed! Mixed with it all—mud, dust blown in by the wind, and the occasional little insect—it was all boiled up in one pot.
In other words, the person taking the medicine cannot see the residue, otherwise they would definitely vomit.
Although boiling willow bark in water seems effective, it's like a super low-end painkiller; it can only relieve pain and is actually useless for treating headaches.
But this was the first time this underdeveloped world had used it! People without drug resistance experienced truly amazing effects after drinking it!
When it comes to anything related to the brain, almost no one here dares to act rashly. Effective methods like acupuncture and moxibustion haven't even been invented in this wretched world yet.
Therefore, for the entire Northern Sorrow, boiling willow bark in water is like having a headache!
At the morning meeting, the senior officials were in an uproar.
Aside from varying degrees of severity, who among those who work in the imperial court doesn't have a headache?
Even if it doesn't happen, what if it happens to me someday?
The Northern King was no exception.
Being a doctor is arguably the most sought-after profession in the world besides being a soldier, he pondered before asking:
"You have all heard it. Yi Lanbin is such a talented man that I naturally wish to recruit him to serve Bei Shang. Does anyone have any good ideas?"
Those who have enjoyed a life of luxury for too long are the most afraid of suffering. In order to obtain Yu Ling, they have started to give the Northern King bad advice.
Some people said it would be perfect to find a son-in-law for the princess, making them in-laws and family.
There were also attempts to persuade the King of Dongli to issue direct orders and make this loyal general obey his commands.
Some even suggest using violence to force people into submission.
The most ridiculous thing is that this idea was actually accepted by most people.
People started offering their own collections of frightening punishments for dealing with disobedient children.
In short, no one got it right.
The Northern King was so anxious that he was blowing his beard and glaring, but he was ignored in the end. As a result, Zhang Heyi, whose legs were numb from kneeling, couldn't help but mutter something.
"What's the use of saying all this? We still need to get him here first... If you ask me, Brother Yi would rather come to my house than suffer like this..."
At this point, Zhang Heyi seemed to recall the bet he made with Yu Ling when he first started picking fights.
"Oh dear, I thought my idea of making people crawl and bark like dogs was vicious enough, but I didn't expect these experienced guys to be even more ruthless!"
The Northern King appeared indifferent, but he listened to every word that followed, including Zhang Heyi's.
Zhang Hewen's father, who was the city's defender and the garrison commander, was the opposite of Feng Yi, who led troops into battle. He was about to tell his son to shut up and stop talking nonsense.
Then the Northern King said:
"Alright, we can discuss these matters later. What Young Master Zhang said is true. The most important thing is to bring Yi Lanbin to the palace first."
"By my decree, General Feng, stop searching for that so-called hermit and master. First, bring Yi Lanbin back to the palace unharmed."
Because the journey was not short, Feng Yi had already explored almost all the nearby wasteland when he received the order. He thought he should be able to find it in less than three days and did not want to give up.
However, he dared not disobey the king's decree, so he had no choice but to send someone to the prisoner camp to bring the prisoners over, and then return to the palace to report back after finding the results.
However, perhaps because Feng Yi was in a bad mood when he spoke, his underlings, who were unaware of the contents of the Northern King's edict, misunderstood him.
Is the boss going to bring him back?
They know how to do this!
A group of people grabbed their weapons and charged toward Yu Ling with murderous intent.
Yu Ling was taking a walk in the prisoner-of-war camp with Liu Molian, who was recovering from a serious illness, to clear away the lingering effects of her illness, when she saw a large group of soldiers rushing towards her from all directions.
Has the bamboo hut been exposed? No way!
Yu Ling had just checked with the system when Feng Yi also arrived at the bamboo house!
[Host, oh dear, the protagonist is so lucky! He's already broken into the bamboo house, and they've already run away! Oh my god!!!]
Were we really exposed? But how did they guess that it was me?
Those people...
Are they here to force me into marriage?
Before Liu Molian could react, Yu Ling, frightened by the marriage warning, rushed into the encirclement, snatched the weapon from the nearest person, and was about to fight her way out.
Yu Ling didn't want to make enemies with the protagonist, so she didn't kill him. The passing soldiers were all beaten half to death and lay down. Luo Xiaocan heard the news and rushed over. When he saw this scene, he was dumbfounded.
He was unaware of the outcome of the bet, and since the group wasn't wearing military uniforms, Luo Xiaocan assumed that Zhang Heyi had sent people to force Yu Ling to fulfill the bet.
In a moment of impulsiveness, he blurted out, "Brother Yi, if you really can't beat me, why don't you just give in?"
You gave in?!
They really wanted to force me into marriage!
