Their eyes were filled with worry, but also with a glimmer of hope. They knew this was the best they could do at the moment, and the rest depended on Qi Guze's own will to survive.
At this moment, Yan Qing strode out of the tent. His destination was the place where the Ghost Doctor was. He knew that in order for his master Qi Guze to recover, in addition to the efforts of the guards, the help of that mysterious doctor was also needed.
Not long after, Yan Qing returned to the camp with the Ghost Doctor.
The Ghost Doctor skillfully used acupuncture to stabilize Qi Guze's injuries, but a sigh appeared in his eyes when he saw Qi Guze's body covered in burns.
"Can Master recover from this condition?" Yan Qing looked at the Ghost Doctor, his eyes filled with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.
The Ghost Doctor was silent for a moment, then replied, "It is possible, but it is very difficult." His voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to have been spoken after careful consideration.
Upon hearing this answer, Yan Qing and the other guards looked grave. They knew that the days to come would be full of challenges and difficulties.
But they also understood that no matter how difficult it was, they had to persevere, and they were willing to pay any price for their master Qi Guze's recovery.
Yan Qing's wounds began to ache slightly, but he ignored them.
He knew he couldn't fall; he had to stay clear-headed and steadfast for his master's safety and recovery.
The other guards also had similar wounds, but none of them had time to treat their injuries.
"Take care of your wounds first," the Ghost Doctor said, looking at them. His voice was gentle, but it carried an undeniable authority.
Yan Qing and the other guards exchanged glances, then silently left the tent.
They knew that at this critical moment, they had to be in top condition to be ready to deal with any potential crises.
Xu Yuehuai woke up the next day and immediately asked the soldiers around her before rushing to Qi Guze's tent.
"How is he now?" Xu Yuehuai asked anxiously.
Qi Guze lay silently on the bed, as if wrapped up like a rice dumpling.
Seeing everything before her, her heart was filled with worry and anxiety, and tears were already welling up in her eyes.
“Master is alright now,” Yan Qing comforted him. “He has a strong will to live and will definitely pull through this.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai finally burst into tears.
She knelt beside Qi Guze and gently stroked his face. "You must hold on. We can't lose you."
Yan Qing and the others watched from the side, their noses stinging with tears. They quietly left, leaving the two of them alone.
In the days that followed, Yan Qing and the other guards took turns staying by Qi Guze's bedside.
They prayed and wished Qi Guze a speedy recovery in their own way.
Xu Yuehuai stayed by Qi Guze's side, helping to take care of him, hoping he would wake up soon.
The Ghost Doctor would come every day to examine and treat Qi Guze's injuries.
Over the next few days, Qi Guze's condition gradually stabilized. Although the recovery was slow, at least it didn't worsen. This brought a sense of relief to everyone.
However, something unexpected happened.
Before the traces of war on the grasslands bordering Wuling and Dongsang had been completely erased, soldiers from Wuling silently arrived around the temporary encampment of the allied forces of Dazhou and Dongsang and launched a surprise attack.
Amidst the flashing blades and flying flesh, the allied soldiers had no time to react before being cut down by the soldiers of Wuling Kingdom, creating utter chaos.
While taking care of the unconscious and seriously injured Qi Guze, Xu Yuehuai heard the sounds of fighting outside the tent. Shocked, she pulled back the curtain to look and found a scene of bloodshed and carnage.
"How could this be..." Xu Yuehuai exclaimed inwardly, quickly grabbing her dagger and preparing to go out and check the situation.
However, as soon as she stepped out of the tent, she saw a soldier from Wuling rushing over, raising his broadsword high and slashing at her.
Xu Yuehuai was startled and reacted instinctively, dodging the knife by turning to the side, while simultaneously plunging the dagger in her hand deep into the soldier's chest.
The soldier's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, and he fell straight down.
Xu Yuehuai drew his dagger and looked around. He found that Wuling soldiers were everywhere, and the allied soldiers were fighting them to the death.
Xu Yuehuai's heart sank, knowing that the situation was bad, and she rushed towards Qi Guze's tent.
She had only one thought in her mind: she must not let anyone hurt him again.
Just as Xu Yuehuai rushed back into the tent, she saw several soldiers from Wuling Kingdom rushing in. Their faces were full of murderous intent, and it was clear at a glance that they were not good people.
Xu Yuehuai's heart tightened, and she quickly stood in front of Qi Guze's bed, gripping the dagger tightly in her hand.
Although she had never experienced such a scene before, she knew she had to protect Qi Guze.
The leader of the Wuling soldiers sneered when he saw that Xu Yuehuai dared to stop them, "Just a little girl, and she dares to stop us?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and several soldiers immediately rushed towards Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai gritted her teeth, her eyes resolute, and faced the soldiers' attack without fear.
The dagger in her hand gleamed coldly under the light, as if adding a touch of majesty to her courage and determination.
She was wearing a black bodysuit that accentuated her beautiful curves.
Her long, jet-black hair fluttered in the wind, reflecting the unwavering light in her eyes. Although she had little combat experience, she possessed extraordinary reflexes and coordination.
Facing the soldiers' attacks, she nimbly dodged and cleverly used the surrounding obstacles to protect herself.
A soldier wielding a long sword charged at her.
Instead of retreating, Xu Yuehuai advanced, flashing to his side and deflecting his longsword with a dagger.
Immediately afterwards, she delivered a powerful knee strike, sending the soldier flying backward.
However, even the strongest fists can't fight off many hands, let alone when facing so many people.
Soon, Xu Yuehuai was tackled to the ground from behind by a soldier.
She struggled to stand up, but found that her hands and feet were restrained.
She looked up and saw the soldiers approaching step by step, their eyes gleaming with cruelty.
Xu Yuehuai took a deep breath, trying to calm down.
She knew that at this moment, she had to do everything she could to protect herself.
Suddenly, a soldier wielding a spear thrust it towards her abdomen. Xu Yuehuai's eyes narrowed, and with all her might, she rolled to the right, avoiding the fatal blow.
