Chapter 400 Competition
Liu Hao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but then found himself speechless.
They had no choice but to turn around and regroup their troops.
Even if they want to leave, they must complete His Highness's orders and wait until things are stable here before they leave.
"No, no, I need to find a cloak too, so I can look more imposing and not embarrass Sister Qingqing!"
Qiaoxiu ran back into the house.
She came out carrying two cloaks, one for herself and one for Qingyao.
Two people stood on either side of Lu Qingqing behind her, like bodyguards.
The three large characters "Saint Physician Gate" on the tall mansion gate are magnificent.
The stone tablet in front of the gate is inscribed with the motto established at the beginning of the gate's construction: "Benevolence and virtue, healing the world."
Unfortunately, this precept has been forgotten under the corrupting influence of power and money.
The gates of the mansion slowly opened.
The angry shouts and curses from the crowd outside were deafening.
Stones were thrown at us, and among them were darts that gleamed with black light.
Mo Lang deflected the arrow with a single shot, his sharp eyes precisely targeting a certain person in the center of the crowd.
He leaped into the air, stepping over the swarm of heads, and slit his throat with a single stroke!
While the crowd was panicking and screaming, squads of soldiers wielding scimitars had already surrounded everyone!
"Everyone present today will be escorted back to their ancestral home for investigation of their ancestors for three generations! Anyone with even the slightest moral failings will have their descendants barred from participating in the imperial examinations for three generations!" Ning Yuanwu shouted with fervor.
The noisy crowd finally quieted down.
The people coming here are either doctors or wealthy people who have dealt with doctors from the Holy Physician Sect. Which family doesn't want their children and grandchildren to be successful, especially when there are students still studying? As soon as these words were spoken, many people panicked.
Immediately someone else shouted, "His Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent and would never kill innocent people indiscriminately. We are only here to plead for the innocent doctor!"
"Bring out that vixen who bewitched His Highness the Crown Prince and give us an explanation!"
Before the crowd could even shout, Mo Lang flashed forward and darted to the person who had tried to move after shouting, then slit their throat!
Now, no one dared to utter a sound!
Their necks felt like they were being choked, making it hard for them to breathe.
Some people didn't want to get involved anymore, but found they couldn't leave.
A group of soldiers, their swords pointed at them.
The crowd was dense and silent.
The situation was brought under control so quickly!
The soldiers in the front row spread out on both sides, revealing their fiery red figures.
Lu Qingqing stepped forward, her expression friendly.
"Okay, swearing is wrong, can we talk properly now?"
"Find your representative, come forward, and tell me why you've come here to cause trouble?"
The crowd included wealthy merchants dressed in fine clothes, elderly men with white beards and square scarves, students in green robes and blouses, and dashing knights-errant.
They looked at Lu Qingqing with surprise in their eyes.
The female doctor who was at the center of public opinion and was portrayed as despicable and shameless was not what they imagined.
Too young.
This is too much!
The group arrived in a menacing manner, but before they could utter a single word of abuse, their throats were blocked, and one can imagine the frustration they felt.
Seeing Mo Lang, who kills without a second thought, still scanning the crowd with his eyes as if looking for his next target, makes one shudder.
Wasn't His Highness the Crown Prince supposed to be benevolent and never kill innocent people indiscriminately? How come he killed someone right away?
Finally, a chivalrous man stepped forward and bowed with a cold expression.
My name is Pengcheng!
"Lu Qingqing".
"May I ask, Miss Lu, was it you who saved His Highness the Crown Prince after he was poisoned by the Sect Master of the Holy Physician Sect?"
Lu Qingqing: "Yes."
"Does that girl really know blood transfusion techniques?"
"Understand."
The swordsman's cold face instantly turned into a fawning one: "Please, young lady, save us! My wife has been poisoned, and medicine is ineffective. Can you please save us? I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm here to seek medical help. The Holy Healer Sect Master is dead, so be it. As long as you can save my wife's life, I don't care who the master of this place is!"
"……"
I thought they came here to seek justice, but they turned out to be annoying!
The people around him glared angrily.
The knight-errant completely ignored him.
Who would be so foolish as to oppose the imperial court? What kind of good thing is the Holy Physician Sect?
The medicine sold in the pharmacy is so expensive!
"No problem, no problem, get the people on board!" Lu Qingqing immediately ordered the soldiers.
The swordsman was overjoyed: "Thank you, Miss Lu! I've heard that Ouyang Bingyan completely ignores ordinary people. I wholeheartedly support you becoming the leader of the Holy Physician Sect!"
Lu Qingqing smiled slightly. She had misunderstood. There should actually be quite a few people here who weren't just idle people seeking justice.
"Anyone else here seeking medical help? Stand to the right and wait!"
Sure enough, about a hundred people immediately ran out and formed a queue.
Of course, there were also those who were so frightened that they were planning to run away.
"What exactly are you here for?"
The two old men stepped forward in anger.
He glared at the swordsman first.
"You actually believe in the art of blood exchange? Even the centuries-old Holy Medicine Sect hasn't figured out the secrets of blood exchange, and you dare let a greenhorn female healer do whatever she wants!"
The swordsman was taken aback, frowned, and became somewhat worried.
But His Highness the Crown Prince has been cured, hasn't he?
Lu Qingqing tossed her cloak aside, sat down on the chair brought by the soldiers, and proudly raised her head: "I, Lu Qingqing, have always believed that there are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. Moreover, in the field of medicine, everyone has their own strengths, and learning is endless. I dare not claim to be the best in the world, but..."
"I wish to challenge all the physicians present to a contest to dispel the rumors and see if I truly possess the skill, or if I merely used seductive tricks to bewitch the Crown Prince and gain the title of divine healer!"
What a boastful tone!
At such a young age, having studied medical books since birth, to what extent can one possibly master them?
Is being a miracle doctor so easy?
In this remote, impoverished mountain village, I've simply never seen a truly skilled doctor!
"Alright! How shall we compete?" an old man asked.
"I ask medical questions, you answer; you ask, I answer!"
Lu Qingqing glanced at the crowd: "All doctors are welcome to come forward and assist you!"
We'll each give ten questions; the one who gets the most wrong loses!
Does that mean that all these doctors are only dealing with one of them?
That's incredibly arrogant!
The old man felt both angry and that this was a golden opportunity.
"If we win, you have to grant us one request: release the innocent doctor who has been arrested."
That's why these doctors came here.
It's admirable that colleagues help each other.
But...innocent?
Soon they will find out that all the doctors in the Holy Physician Sect's territory, whether recruited or joined on their own, have become complicit in the corruption.
The image of the Holy Healer Sect must be completely shattered in their hearts.
Lu Qingqing readily nodded.
"Don't say we're a bunch of us bullying a little female doctor like you. Let you ask the question first!"
Lu Qingqing didn't hold back either:
"First question: How can one ensure the recipient of a blood transfusion survive?"
"..."
"??????"
"!!!!!"
No, is that right?
