Qin Zheng was naturally angry when Xue Zhining pointed at his nose and scolded him. If he hadn't known his purpose and restrained himself, he would have wanted to rush up and slap her twice.
Qin Ran's face darkened as well, and he forced a smile. "Deputy General Xue, you misunderstood. It's not that our general doesn't want to take care of you, but he's also been ill, so he's really powerless. Now that he's feeling a little better, why don't you hurry out..."
Xue Zhining raised her hand, looking impatient, "Stop, stop, stop, stop! I say, aren't you guys too contemptuous of me?
What? Do you think I'm easy to fool because I'm young?
Qin Ran's expression froze as well, and he was about to retort.
Suddenly, Xue Zhining sighed, "Okay, since you're saying that, then let me ask you, when did General Chu become ill? How did he recover? What were his symptoms?"
Qin Zheng had never thought that she would ask such detailed questions, and he forgot to rehearse his words in advance. However, he also had some understanding of the illnesses of those soldiers, and combined with his own previous symptoms, he had a rough idea of it.
Because of this, Qin Zheng appeared very calm and pretended to look miserable.
"Well, to be honest, I'm a pretty strong person, but I didn't expect that I would start to have symptoms the day after it started.
At the beginning, I was vomiting and having diarrhea badly, but everyone was in a mess at that time, and I didn’t want to cause trouble by disturbing everyone.
In order to prevent the news from spreading to other people, I locked myself in the tent and didn't let anyone in or out.
For several days, I was very sick, and it was not until you sent me some medicine and food that I slowly recovered.
At this point, I should also sincerely thank you. Today, my condition has improved and I am finally able to move around, so I came to help as soon as possible.
I heard that Dr. Jiang had arrived, so I came to ask for help. After all, as you know, I have too many patients over there, and their symptoms are more serious. I think everyone can understand the urgency of this matter."
What he said was heartfelt, and to express his gratitude, he was very flexible and bowed deeply to Xue Zhining.
Xue Zhi would rather not accept his courtesy and immediately stepped aside to avoid him with a look of disgust on her face.
After he finished speaking, Xue Zhining snorted coldly at first, then slowly argued, "Oh, so General Qin was actually ill from the beginning.
I was wondering why everyone was allowed to be in such a mess and no one came out to help.
But it's just a coincidence. Some of us here probably fell ill on the same day as you. Although they used the same medicine as you, they are still bedridden.
If only one or two people are like this, it may be that they are not in good health, but if dozens or hundreds of people are like this, it can only mean that the disease or the poison is very serious.
I don’t know how you can be so energetic like now after being ill for so many days. I am really surprised. Do you have any good prescription?
If you really have any, please don't keep it secret. Doctor Jiang has just arrived and everything is still under research. If you have any, please tell us quickly. Maybe we will all thank you."
Everyone's expression changed after hearing these words.
Xue Zhining said it tactfully, but everyone was not stupid. At that time, they were moved by Qin Zheng and didn't think much about it. Now when they think about it, they know how despicable his lie was.
After all, many people were infected this time, and a simple comparison of the symptoms would show that Qin Zheng definitely fell ill in the past two days.
That means that at the beginning he was really thinking about himself and did not help others.
This alone is enough to make people feel chilled.
As a result, everyone's eyes turned cold when they looked at Qin Zheng, and even some disgust and contempt that they were too lazy to hide emerged.
Qin Zheng felt a chill on his back and began to regret why he came here.
Wouldn’t it be better to just wait for Jiang Xinian to rescue people?
There's more than just one way to take credit for something like this!
He was so sick that he confused himself. He was humiliated time and time again, yet he still wanted to take advantage of them!
But now that he was being scolded like this, he really couldn't stand it anymore.
His face was cold, but he suddenly became serious, "I don't need to explain to a mere deputy general like you when I got sick.
But I think this general should question you thoroughly. The incident happened suddenly, and no one was prepared.
But you, the first ones to immediately guess that there was a problem with the water and food, then took out a large amount of medicinal herbs that could stabilize the situation.
This makes this general doubt whether it was you who poisoned them in order to win people's hearts!
Oh, the situation is serious now. Instead of thinking about how to drive out the barbarians, you are using your brains on your own people. It's really despicable!
Come on, capture Lieutenant General Xue for me!"
His ability to turn the tables actually made Xue Zhining laugh.
Qin Zheng glared angrily, but no one stepped forward to arrest him.
Xue Zhining laughed as if she had heard a huge joke, and she didn't stop until tears came out of her eyes.
Then, she stared at Qin Zheng with eyes full of hatred, "You really are a blind man."
Qin Zheng was furious and wanted to say something, but Xue Zhining rushed out, grabbed his collar and walked towards the camp.
Looking at the wounded all over the ground, her sharp voice became even higher.
"Look at them! Look at them! These are the people you so carelessly slander! They've just returned from the battlefield, and many of them haven't even had time to bandage their wounds. Are you blind? Can't you see?
You have been hiding in the tent for many days and now you have finally come out. However, you don't think about how to help everyone overcome the difficulties, nor do you think about investigating the reasons for the barbarians' sneak attack just now.
But when you have time to talk here, you start to confuse right and wrong!
Just when you were racking your brains to think of how to grab the credit, they were all fighting at the forefront despite being sick!
"While they were fighting bloody battles, you were hiding in the camp. Now that they have returned victorious, you are out showing off your prowess! What were you doing before?"
Seeing Qin Zheng about to open his mouth, Xue Zhining immediately interrupted him and continued, "Don't tell me you're sick or ill. At that time, all of our Chu family army, except for those who were lying in bed and unable to move, went up!"
It's just what happened. Now that you can stand up, I think you won't be too embarrassed to use being sick as an excuse!"
Qin Zheng's face turned pale, and he felt extremely regretful that he shouldn't have come here just now.
But now that I'm here, it would be too embarrassing to just leave like this.
He racked his brain, but his muddled mind couldn't figure out anything, so he could only wink at Qin Ran frantically.
Qin Ran is not an easy person to get along with. He now hates Xue Zhining very much. Why didn't he think this girl was so sharp-tongued before?
