Rong Qing looked so miserable that the soldiers couldn't bear to watch. Even Lieutenant General Liu couldn't bear to watch it any longer. "Rong Qing, give up. With your leg injury like that, there's no way you can become the princess's bodyguard. Why do you have to make things difficult for yourself and the princess?"
Suddenly, someone knelt down in front of Xiao Li and couldn't help but plead for Rong Qing: "Princess, please give Coach Rong a chance."
Soon someone else knelt down and said, "Princess, please give Coach Rong a chance."
"Please, Princess, give Coach Rong a chance."
Xiao Li remained unmoved: "Am I not giving him a chance?"
She dismounted and walked to the finish line, facing Rong Qing. Her eyes were blazing as she stared at the man struggling in pain. "Rong Qing, get up."
The person lying on the ground trembled and raised his head after a while. His face, covered with sweat and blood, looked scary, but one could see that his facial features were regular, firm and resolute.
His eyes were bloodshot and veins bulged on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and persevered all the way, his mouth full of blood.
Xiao Li didn't go forward, but just waited for him there.
Fair and very cruel.
Finally, he moved again, his bloody palms pressed to the ground, and he crawled towards her again and again.
Everyone forgot to breathe and their hearts tightened.
Five meters, not far, but it almost cost him his life.
“Bang!”
The palm dropped again and finally touched the finish line.
"good!"
Everyone cheered: "Great, it's finally here!"
Xiao Li squatted down and looked down at the man who was desperately crawling towards her: "This princess will fulfill my promise, but what can you give me?"
Rong Qing raised his head and looked at her with difficulty. Even though he was in a mess and his body was broken, his eyes were extremely determined. With blood in his eyes, he spoke word by word: "Rong Qing - I have sword skills... I have a life... I swear to die... I am loyal to the city..."
Xiao Li was satisfied and raised his hand: "Take him to the horse and call the doctor."
The soldiers cheered for Rong Qing. They might be jealous of others who received rewards from the princess, but only Rong Qing made them convinced.
Lieutenant General Liu looked at the messy military camp, sighed heavily, scolded a few words, turned around and rode his horse back to rest.
Just as he entered his residence, he saw Yang Jun coming back: "General Liu."
Lieutenant General Liu was surprised: "Guard Yang, does the princess have any other instructions?"
Yang Jun took out a box and handed it over. "This is a gift from the princess to the general. She also asked me to tell you something: 'An eagle doesn't fly, it's waiting for the strong wind. Are you willing to be that eagle waiting to fly?'"
Lieutenant General Liu stood there in a daze for a while before he came to his senses and opened the box given by Yang Jun. Inside was a box full of small gold ingots.
Suddenly I felt that the world was so quiet, so quiet that I could only hear the sound of my heartbeat.
-----------
Xiao Li took the man back and left him alone. Yang Jun was responsible for taking care of him. If he failed to take care of him properly, he would no longer be able to hold his position as the chief guard.
Rong Qing is currently a trouble, but his willpower allows Xiao Li to accept this trouble.
He asked someone to wash him and called a doctor. The doctor said that he could not cure him, so Xiao Li went to call the imperial physician.
If the imperial physician can't cure it, isn't there still a miracle doctor?
Lu Yanzhi was able to be rescued even after he died, so wouldn’t it be easy for Rong Qing to do the same?
As for whether Cen An could cure it, that was not up to him. He saved Lu Yanzhi and ruined her plan. Shouldn't she thank him properly?
Fortunately, there is still someone among the imperial doctors who is quite capable, and this person is actually an old friend of the Rong family. He was originally not happy to be invited by Xiao Li to treat a servant, but after seeing Rong Qing, he wanted to use all his life's medical skills.
Xiao Li was puzzled: "Since we are old friends and we are both in the capital, why didn't he come to find you?"
The imperial physician sighed, "This old minister knew his grandfather, General Chang Wei. Back then, the old general was still galloping on the battlefield, and this old minister was just starting out. Fortunately, the general saved him, and I will never forget it. But I'm afraid the old general has long forgotten all these things. He saved so many people, and later he was always guarding the border, and this old minister never found a chance to repay his kindness. It's really fate that the once general family has only this one child left."
Xiao Li was too lazy to listen to his sighs, what she wanted was to be cured.
But this person obviously took her as a sucker.
"Princess, Rong Qing's external injuries are not serious. The most serious is his leg. His leg bones did not grow properly, and he did not recuperate properly afterwards, which is why he is lame. If he wants to be treated, he needs to cut open the skin and flesh, scrape the bones and regenerate them. During this process, he needs to use a variety of medicinal herbs to help the bones and flesh grow."
Xiao Li: "Then use it."
The imperial physician's graying beard twitched. "Princess, there are two herbs in this recipe. One is Snow Dragon Spine, a medicinal herb that grows on the snowy mountains. It has the miraculous effect of healing bones and tendons, but due to its unique conditions, it is extremely rare. The other is Five Tiger Skin, a type of sea fish skin. Adding it to the recipe to make a bone and muscle powder will help the meridians heal even better than before."
Xiao Li's eyelids twitched. "So, you want me to climb the snowy mountains and descend to the East China Sea for him? Why don't you go to heaven?"
The imperial physician shuddered again. "I dare not trouble the princess. This is available in the Snow Dragon Ridge Palace, but it is an extremely precious tribute and cannot be used without the emperor's permission. The Five Tiger Skins are available in the larger pharmacies in the capital, but they are extremely expensive. One piece of skin costs fifty taels of silver. If his injury is to heal, he will need at least ten pieces of silver."
Xiao Li understood that they were just taking advantage of her.
And they have to keep an eye on the tribute.
She crossed her arms and sneered, "I asked you to treat an illness, but you're looking for trouble?"
