If General Meng was willing to pledge allegiance to Gu Mu because of the old emperor's half of the tiger tally...
Now, it's all because of Gu Mu.
"Can I take all of these back to the barracks?" The burly, 1.9-meter-tall man suddenly became hesitant.
If this is a miraculous medicine that can cure soldiers' festering sores, then so many...
You...took them all?
General Meng felt like he was dreaming.
"They're all assigned to you," Gu Mu nodded.
He saw that the 1.9-meter-tall, bearded man's cheeks were flushed with excitement.
General Meng turned his head and looked at Shen Ci.
Shen Ci nodded calmly. He had learned a lot from spending time with Gu Mu, so he said casually, "I have more medicine here than you do here."
Just kidding! Gu Mu gave him a batch before, and he kept it carefully!
Was General Meng's glance at him just now because he was worried that His Highness had only given it to him and not to himself?
They are all Your Highness's subjects, how could Your Highness be so biased!
Shen Ci looked up and said solemnly, "General Meng, you can come with me to the wounded soldiers' camp. These days, thanks to Your Highness's medicine, the wounded soldiers in the camp have recovered quite a bit."
Inside the wounded soldiers' camp.
General Meng, like a pervert, lifted up the soldiers' clothes one by one to check their wounds.
He was so excited.
"Really...really no pus...this temperature is simply amazing!"
With each additional person examined, General Meng's face lit up with joy: "Then all fifty-odd brothers of our Mountain Mist Pass are saved!"
"I don't have to watch them die!"
"It's truly a miracle drug! It's truly a miracle drug!"
"Hahahaha..."
"This weird uncle is so scary."
Lu Xiaoyao muttered something and took a bite of the chicken leg in her hand.
Then he secretly left from a corner of the military camp.
This doctor is really interesting.
They just keep bullying him.
But it looks like the doctor is busy, so I'll have to find him to play with another time~
"Old Shen, look, I'll leave the soldiers I brought here to guard the frontier for you temporarily. I'll only take thirty brothers to secretly transport these medicines back to Shanwu Pass to treat my brothers. What do you think?"
Several large boxes, thirty soldiers.
In addition, there was General Meng, who was invincible and could hold off ten thousand men.
General Meng felt that was more than enough.
"The brothers' illnesses can't be delayed." His mouth stretched almost to his ears in a wide grin.
He had been so resentful about this that he couldn't sleep for several nights.
He wished he could drag the souls of those enemy soldiers who had injured his brother back from the underworld and give them a good beating.
Even so, he couldn't save his brother.
He could only watch as his brothers' wounds festered and worsened, as they grew weaker and weaker, and as the army doctors were powerless to help.
"You can only wait to die. Write a letter home." That was the doctor's final conclusion.
But all those wounded soldiers wanted to live.
Even as they lay dying, they were all still smiling, seemingly unwilling to make the atmosphere too somber.
This is even more heartbreaking.
—But I didn't expect it.
His Highness the Regent actually brought them medicine.
Such a miraculous medicine actually exists in our dynasty.
Heaven is helping our dynasty!
General Meng looked at Gu Mu with deep respect.
It wasn't just out of respect; a burly man, over six feet tall, blushed like a young girl and looked at Gu Mu with adoration.
Even if Gu Mu was only a regent, he was still the emperor in his heart, the only ruler of this dynasty.
Anyone who tries to seize power from the Regent must step over his dead body!
Perhaps General Meng's ambition was too grand.
After leaving the wounded soldiers' camp, Gu Mu explained the plan he had previously given to Shen Ci to General Meng.
"You mean, the Empress Dowager is going to launch a coup?"
General Meng's eyes widened, his expression one of murderous intent: "What right does she have?! I've long suspected that the late emperor's death was related to her, and sure enough..."
"A wolf in sheep's clothing!" he spat again.
“I will assist Your Highness,” Shen Ci calmly interjected, while looking at General Meng to ask for his opinion.
"Of course! I, Old Meng, am not dead. I'd like to see who dares to touch His Highness! Whoever dares to touch him, I'll twist their head off and use it as a football!"
General Meng drew his cleaver, slammed it horizontally onto the table.
Instantly, Shen Ci's table shattered into pieces.
"You kill the enemy, why are you chopping up my table?" Shen Ci rolled his eyes. If it weren't for their good relationship, General Meng would have been responsible for the money on the table.
“Just like this table!” General Meng said solemnly in a deep voice.
...
General Meng, with thirty men, escorted the penicillin and safely arrived at Shanwu Pass.
Following the doctor's orders, each person took two pills a day, and sure enough, the soldiers' injuries improved.
As for the frontier that Shen Ci was stationed on, thanks to the elite troops brought by General Meng and the fact that some lightly wounded soldiers could also join the battle, only Shen Ci and the wounded soldiers in the wounded soldiers camp recovered from their injuries.
During this period, although there were some minor frictions on the frontier, the strength of the frontier actually increased rather than decreased due to the arrival of Gu Mu and General Meng, and they did not suffer too many losses.
Gu Mu's secret trip was to gather his troops and distribute penicillin to the military camp.
Time was of the essence, and the situation in the capital was changing rapidly. He couldn't possibly visit every military camp. He only went to a few key camps and secretly recruited the generals from those camps.
