"Okay, I'll give you the potion now. If you need anything else, feel free to come to me.
You guys, stand guard at the door and don't allow anyone to cause trouble. Do you understand?"
Xue Zhining pointed to a few uninjured soldiers guarding the door, and then she quickly left with the bucket.
Xiao Lingling didn't think much about it and turned back to study.
However, when they arrived, the news was not too blocked, and the two military camps were very close to each other, so the news naturally spread to the next door quickly.
They didn't know Jiang Xinian, but they had heard of the name of Dr. Jiang.
So, when they heard that Dr. Jiang had arrived, everyone, whether they were already sick or had survived by chance, was very excited.
After waiting for a long time and seeing no signs of Dr. Jiang's arrival, everyone couldn't help but feel worried and anxious.
"What's going on? It seems like Divine Doctor Jiang hasn't come yet. Is he going to give up on us?"
"Don't talk nonsense! Lieutenant General Xue said he won't give up on us. He must be working on a solution. Let's wait and see."
"I don't think so. It's been so long. Even if they were just researching, someone could have come and told us. It's really too uncomfortable to keep waiting like this."
"I guess they're too busy. You saw General Chu lead a campaign just now. Maybe they're all busy.
If Vice General Xue really didn't care about us, he wouldn't have sent us medicine before. Look, we're much better now, at least fewer people are sick today."
"That's right, maybe he was stuck by something. Doctor Jiang is from the Divine Doctor Sect, he won't just stand by and watch someone die!"
"Alright, alright, then wait a little longer. I'll take the men on patrol first. Everyone, be careful. It's getting dark, and we might get attacked by those barbarians."
As they were talking, the people gathered together and were about to disperse, but were suddenly stopped by someone.
"Stop! The general has something to ask you. Someone, please go in and answer."
The person who came to call for help was Qin Zheng's personal guard Qin Ran, a servant of the Qin family. His mother was the maid that came with Qin Zheng's mother as a dowry. He and Qin Zheng grew up together, so naturally they had a deep relationship.
Qin Zheng took him with him wherever he went, and of course, Qin Ran was also very loyal to Qin Zheng.
In order to prevent Qin Zheng from getting sick, he was the one passing messages back and forth throughout the whole process.
When everyone heard that the general was going to summon them, they felt somewhat uneasy.
After all, they were already two military camps, but they contacted the Chu family army privately. If you really think about it, they should be dealt with by military law.
Kieran naturally understood their concerns and gave a relatively kind smile. "Don't worry, there's no need to be afraid. The general is just asking a few questions. Just answer them truthfully."
Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to encourage each other and followed Qin Ran to the outside of the commander's tent.
The tent door curtain was wide open at this moment, but no one could see what was going on inside because there was an extra-large screen facing the door.
Qin Zheng was sitting behind the screen, and it was obvious that he was still very cautious.
"General, the person has been brought here!"
After that, everyone knelt down together.
"We are here to see the General!"
A few coughs were heard from inside, and then Qin Zheng slowly asked, "General, I heard that the food and water for the past two days were delivered from next door? Cough cough cough..."
It was Qin Zheng’s voice, yes, but why did it sound a little weak?
Everyone had some guesses in their minds, but they didn't dare to say anything more.
"Yes! Because there are too many sick people, we are worried about water or food problems, so we are temporarily using the supplies sent by the Chu family army next door."
"Ahem... ahem... Well, did they deliver it today?"
Everyone looked at each other.
"No today, but there's still some left from yesterday's delivery, basically enough for today and tomorrow morning."
After hearing the answer, there was a brief silence inside, followed by a violent coughing fit.
After a while, Qin Zheng continued in a hoarse voice, "I heard that Divine Doctor Jiang is here?"
......
"Yes... But we didn't see the real person. We just heard a few words from people next door. I think it must be true."
Qin Zheng didn't say anything else, just coughed for a while, and finally called out to Qin Ran, and Qin Ran arranged for the others to leave.
After everyone had gone far away, Qin Ran quickly went in, closed the door curtain and came behind the screen.
Qin Zheng no longer looked high-spirited at the moment. He looked sick and sat down on the chair with difficulty.
Qin Ran quickly poured him a glass of water. "Hurry up and drink some water to moisten your throat. It wasn't this serious yesterday, so why can't you even speak clearly today?"
Qin Zheng hadn't expected that even with all his precautions, he would still be caught. He shook his head helplessly, "Did you see clearly just now?"
Qin Ran nodded, "Yes, I just went to check on the tents where the patients were being housed, and I found that those who were seriously ill before are now basically stable.
Although I still have symptoms, they are much better than before, and they haven’t gotten worse! "
Qin Zheng finally felt relieved. "That's good. Then hurry up and get me some medicine. Cough cough cough... cough cough, I, I really can't stand it anymore. Cough cough cough... I feel like my throat is going to break!"
Of course, Qin Ran didn't say anything and turned around to get the medicine.
Qin Zheng, however, stopped him at the last minute and said, "By the way, please ask around to see if Jiang Xinian is really here. If so, come back and tell me."
Such a great achievement cannot be given to that evil creature for nothing! If I handle it well, maybe I can even take over the Chu family army in one fell swoop! "
Qin Ran had been following him for a long time and immediately understood what he meant. "Okay, I'll check it out!"
Qin Ran was very quick. He had originally kept some medicine as a backup, and now that Qin Zheng needed it, he immediately brought it to him.
Afterwards, he arranged for several personal guards to pretend to be ordinary soldiers and hurriedly went to the next door to inquire.
People were in a panic right now, so naturally, no one thought much about it and leaked the news about Jiang Xinian.
When the news came back, Qin Zheng had just taken the medicine and felt that the urge to cough was suppressed a lot. He was very satisfied with the medicine.
He was already ill, and now he was no longer shy about it. Late in the evening, while everyone was having dinner, he finally walked out of the tent with a kind smile on his face.
For a moment, everyone looked at him in shock.
Qin Zheng was very considerate and exchanged a few words with everyone who was eating, such as whether the food was to their liking, how it tasted, whether they were full, etc.
Everyone was a little panicked and didn't know how to answer for a moment, so they could only look at each other.
