Doctors in Dashun didn't see patients this way, and they didn't have these strange tools. Later, there was a princess named Ji'an. It was said that she had learned a very strange medical skill from a strange man from the ancient Persian country many years ago. Some people said that Princess Ji'an could use something like an embroidery needle to inject a potion into the human body, and the dying person who had no hope could be resurrected miraculously. Others said that Princess Ji'an had a strange pill in her hand, which came in all colors and was small, most of which were not even as big as a fingernail. But such a small pill was more effective than several bowls of bitter medicine soup.
Everyone knew that Princess Ji'an opened Baicaotang in the capital and passed on such miraculous medical skills to her apprentices and doctors in Baicaotang. However, he had never been to the capital and did not dare to go there because of his status, so he had only heard about Princess Ji'an's strange and unique medical skills in bits and pieces.
But, right now...
The head of the household looked at his wife, and then he spoke up, trembling as he asked Feng Yuheng, "Is the female doctor... Is she Princess Ji'an?"
Feng Yuheng was already packing up her medicine box, and she was in no hurry to leave. After all, no matter how anxious she was, she had to wait until this bottle of IV drip was finished. She turned around and looked at the head of the household. She didn't answer, but asked back: "You are obviously a soldier of Dashun, why did you go up the mountain and become a bandit?" She didn't ask if the other party was a soldier, but used an affirmative tone.
The head of the family was stunned, then he knelt down with a plop, muttering, "It's really Princess Ji'an! Only Princess Ji'an can tell our identities at a glance!" After that, he kowtowed to Feng Yuheng: "Princess! We brothers have finally met you, the princess!" The seven-foot-tall man suddenly burst into tears and almost burst into tears.
Feng Yuheng frowned as he watched, and finally waited until the other party's crying became weaker before asking again: "What do you mean you finally saw me? Are you waiting for me?"
The head of the family nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we are waiting for the princess. Not long ago, some brothers found out that Princess Ji'an was leaving Kyoto for her fiefdom Ji'an County. When we got the news, we counted our fingers every day hoping that you would pass by this area. But it has been many days since you passed by here. We thought you took another route, but we didn't expect that the princess would arrive at this time. If the brothers knew, they would be overjoyed!" He was very excited, and his words were not logical, but at least he expressed their eager anticipation for Princess Ji'an.
Feng Yuheng laughed: "You are looking forward to my coming here just to treat your wife's illness? You haven't answered my first question yet, why don't you be a good soldier and go up the mountain to become a bandit?"
The man said quickly: "Princess! We waited for you not because we wanted to treat my wife's illness, but because we wanted to follow you! As for why we went up the mountain to become bandits, I won't hide it from you, the brothers in Qingshan Village were all regular soldiers of Dashun, with military organization. Unfortunately, we are in the organization of the Biannan Army, under the command of the Eighth Prince." When he mentioned the Eighth Prince, his face was filled with anger and resentment. He said: "The Eighth Prince's tyranny is something that we can tolerate, but the only one... What is intolerable is that he has a close relationship with ancient Shu and the small countries in the desert, and even joined forces with those small countries to plot against Dashun. I once heard him tell the king of a small country in the desert that if the other party could join forces with other small countries to help him get the throne of Dashun, he would definitely give him at least three provinces from the southern border. We brothers despise his treasonous behavior. Once, the Eighth Prince sent us to the desert as envoys, and we took another route to escape halfway and became bandits in Yuntian Prefecture. "
He explained the whole story, wiped his tears, and said, "It's not that we don't want to join the army, but we don't want to join the army under the Eighth Prince. Even if he becomes the emperor in the future, we don't want to be loyal to such an emperor. In order to ascend the throne, he actually sold out the country! Bah! What the hell is this!" He became more and more excited as he spoke, and even raised his hand to assure Feng Yuheng, "Every word I said is true. If the princess doesn't believe me, you can ask someone to find out. I believe that as long as the princess wants to find out, even if two years have passed and so many of us suddenly disappeared, the news can be found out from the Biannan Army."
The woman on the sickbed also nodded repeatedly and assured Feng Yuheng: "Princess, every word Li Zhu said is true."
Feng Yuheng knew that what he said was true, because the Eighth Prince intended to sell out the country. If they hadn't experienced it personally, how could some bandits know about such a secret matter? But she was also a little puzzled: "How can you be sure that I am Princess Ji'an? Aren't you afraid that I am a fake?"
Li Zhu shook his head and said firmly: "It can't be a fake. There is no one else in the world who knows this medical skill except Princess Ji'an."
"The female doctor at Baicaotang also knows how to do it." She told the truth, "I taught her all of that."
"Learning later is not the same as knowing it originally." Li Zhu believed in his own judgment. He asked Feng Yuheng, "Is the princess going to the fiefdom? Can we take our brothers with us? We have our own horses, food and fodder, and we have surplus silver. We will not be a burden to the princess. When we get to the fiefdom, we will only serve the princess. We only ask the princess to take us brothers on the right path. We are all men from good families. We don't want to be bandits, and we don't want to live like this for the rest of our lives. Please show us a way!"
After Li Zhu finished speaking, he began to kowtow again. Apart from this, he really didn't know what other methods he could use to impress this noble man whom he had been waiting for for a long time.
Feng Yuheng did not stop him. She watched him kowtow for a while, then stood up, walked to the window and pushed it open. At a glance, she saw a yard full of "bandits" standing outside. She knew that these people had gathered here when she was treating Li Zhu's wife. She also knew that Li Zhu spoke loudly and the bamboo house was not soundproof, so people outside could definitely hear him. In addition, these people also asked Huangquan Wangchuan. At present, her identity was no longer a secret in this Qingshan Village. Since these people were willing to choose to believe, she did not need to deliberately conceal it.
For Feng Yuheng, she was actually a little happy when she heard that Li Zhu and his group had defected from the former Biannan army and were considered deserters. She was not familiar with the Biannan area. The army had always been led by the Eighth Prince. Xuan Tianming suddenly took over. Most of the people would definitely not accept it, and they might even go against Xuan Tianming under the instruction of the Eighth Prince. Although Xuan Tianming took away a lot of troops from the suburban camp, they were still slightly weaker than the 300,000 troops of the Border Army. In addition, they were said to be fighting against ten small countries in the desert, and the ancient Shu was obstructing them. The combat mission they were going to face was quite arduous.
On her side, in addition to preparing for food and military supplies, if she could have this deserter from the Biannan army, she would at least be able to better understand the situation over there, and she would have more people to use. She didn't see all of these people in Qingshan Village, but she saw quite a few on the way from the mountain gate to this small courtyard. Although they were no longer in the barracks, they did not relax their training at all, nor did they relax their requirements for themselves. This can be seen from their mental outlook and behavior. Those good habits that only belong to soldiers have been passed down, which made her quite satisfied.
She looked at the people in the yard and asked Li Zhu, "Li Zhu, give up Qingshan Village and follow me to the fiefdom. Can you be the master of everyone in this village?"
"We can do it!" Li Zhu stood up and answered in a buzzing voice: "Don't worry, Princess. We, a hundred brothers, have already made a solemn oath before going up the mountain. Going up the mountain does not mean that we are willing to be bandits for the rest of our lives. We must find an opportunity to seek a wise master. As long as there is a wise master willing to take us, our lives will belong to the master! To be honest with you, Princess, the person we chose at the beginning was His Majesty the Ninth Prince, but His Majesty the Ninth Prince was in Kyoto, and we were deserters, so we didn't dare to get close to Kyoto at all. Later, we heard that you went to conquer Qianzhou and recovered 100,000 soldiers and horses there. The brothers were all excited! We were looking forward to being accepted by His Majesty the Ninth Prince one day. Now His Majesty the Ninth Prince hasn't come, but if he has, Princess, it will be the same. We all know that you and His Majesty the Ninth Prince are of the same mind. If we serve His Majesty the Princess, we are also serving His Majesty the Ninth Prince and Dashun!"
"Yes! Serve the princess! Serve the Ninth Prince! Serve Dashun!" The voices spread from the courtyard to the entire Qingshan Village. The momentum was so grand that it seemed that the echo could be heard in the mountains. Someone in the courtyard took the initiative to speak and said to Feng Yuheng: "Princess, don't look down on us. Although we occupy the mountain as kings, we have never robbed the common people. The boss said that we only rob officials and merchants, and they have to be corrupt officials and profiteers."
"Yes! We once robbed the Lu family, the current left prime minister, and robbed several large carts of their goods." The man said proudly, "The boss said that none of the left prime ministers are good people. We calculated how many businesses their family has and how many of them will pass through this area. We have never failed!"
"Tsk!" Huang Quan was very disdainful of these people's words, "You still dare to say that you have never robbed the common people? Then do you know why our princess came up the mountain in person? Did you really think that she was here to treat your wife? It was because that Hu Lao San brought five other people down the mountain to rob the common people's women, saying that he would send them to the mountain to be the wife of your leader! Not only did he rob the common people's women, he also kicked the old woman in her sixties and made her spit blood. If our princess hadn't stopped him, he would not even let the three-year-old child go! Even so, he still says that he is a good person?"
Wang Chuan nodded and continued, "That's right. Although you openly robbed the people's property, because you have been entrenched in the mountains for a long time, the people are afraid of bandits and dare not come into the mountains. The people in the mountain villages all rely on the mountains for their livelihood. In the past, they could go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and collect firewood, but now they can only let the laborers in their families go to the faraway state capital to work, and they only get 200 copper coins a month. Their life is miserable."
The two men told these people what happened at the foot of the mountain, which shocked everyone, especially the fact that Hu Laosan came down the mountain to rob a woman. Everyone was so ashamed that they wished they could find a hole in the ground to crawl into!
