Chapter 1335
The Qin Family Went to Zhangcheng
Chapter 1335 The Qin Family Returned to the City
……
At the Juma Formation camp, General Chu, Elder Xun, Imperial Physician Xiao Yu, the Imperial Guards, Councilor Su, Prefect Zeng, and other personnel had already received General Liang, who was being escorted back by Deputy General Lang and his troops.
"General Liang has returned to camp safely!!"
A loud shout informed everyone that although General Liang was unconscious, he was still breathing and alive.
Deputy General Lang then had General Liang carried out and placed before everyone, saying, "General Liang was ambushed by enemy troops while on his way to see General Chi's son, Chi Ling. He was rescued and his life was saved. However, the poison mainly attacks the brain, causing General Liang to fall into a coma!"
"Anyone who doesn't believe General Liang is still alive is welcome to come and check!"
"Anyone who knowingly proclaims that General Liang has died in battle, even though they know he is not dead, will be considered to be aiding the enemy and disrupting morale. Their entire family will be beheaded and their heads displayed to the public. There will be absolutely no leniency!"
Deputy General Lang personally addressed the troops, and had his personal guards repeat the message three times.
Councilor Su shook his head and hurriedly advised, "Deputy General Lang, it's not good to spread the news that General Liang has been poisoned and is unconscious. Quickly change your story and say that General Liang is fine and has already woken up once or twice on the way."
Deputy General Lang said, "Thank you for the reminder, Councilor Su, but all rumors are born from cover-ups, so we will not cover up and will show the truth to people, which will save us a lot of trouble later."
"Moreover, the Wei army is full of brilliant generals. There is Jiang Dalang, who can command tens of thousands of people in a large battle and even launch a lightning attack on the enemy and kill the enemy's royal family; there are powerful weapons that can blast the enemy into the sky from a distance; there are veteran soldiers who are not afraid of death and new recruits from the mountains; and there are high-ranking officials such as the Prince of Ye, Lord Yan, and the Qi Envoy guarding the rear. Even if General Liang is unconscious, our Great Wei can still win this battle!"
Okay, okay, keep your voice down.
Councilor Su was in a real bind, so he had no choice but to summon the doctors from the Provincial Administration Commission and the local gentry and powerful families: "Treat General Liang. If you can revive him, the government will reward you handsomely!"
"Yes." The doctors hurriedly stepped forward.
"Medical Battalion!" Deputy General Lang shouted, and a large group of military doctors came out, almost one-on-one surrounding them, treating them like enemy troops.
"What does Vice General Lang mean?" Councilor Su said angrily, "The doctors are saving lives."
Deputy General Lang sneered: "I heard that there have been instances of suicide soldiers causing trouble at the barricade camp and the city gate... So the matter of treatment will be discussed later. For now, we can only give you two doctors to come and check whether General Liang is still alive."
In short, he almost made Councilor Su jump up and hit someone.
But he was also afraid that some of these doctors might be assassins from another family, and that these people might implicate him. In the end, he agreed to Deputy General Lang's suggestion: "Choose two renowned doctors, search their backs, and check if General Liang is still alive."
"Thank you for your cooperation with the Wei army, Councilor Su," Vice General Lang said, much to Councilor Su's annoyance.
"Come on, search this old man! He needs to see General Liang!" Old Xun shouted urgently, scolding them, "Stop dawdling! Do you think this is a negotiation between two countries? Saving General Liang is the priority now!"
"Men, search the doctors!" Deputy General Lang ordered his men to search and examine the doctors, and only after confirming that they did not possess any weapons or poisons that could harm anyone were they allowed to approach General Liang.
After a quarter of an hour of examination, the two renowned doctors from the capital city said, "General Liang is indeed still alive, but this poison is very potent and mainly targets the head, which has kept General Liang in a coma."
"When will you wake up? Could this prolonged coma cause serious brain damage?" Councilor Su asked anxiously.
The two renowned doctors shook their heads: "We are not knowledgeable enough to know when he will wake up... but prolonged coma will definitely cause some damage to his brain and body."
"Elder Xun, what do you think?" Councilor Su, Deputy General Lang, and General Chu all looked at Elder Xun.
Old Xun, along with several military doctors, a junior imperial physician, and a highly skilled imperial guard, surrounded General Liang, testing his reactions with various acupuncture needles. Uncle Ahe said, "When the needles are inserted deep into the brain, his eyelids twitch, proving that General Liang's mind is still capable of thinking. It's just that this poison is preventing him from waking up."
"Did the eyelid trembling occur after you removed the poison? How many times did you remove the poison before this improvement occurred?" Master Xun asked.
Uncle Ahe nodded: "It was indeed after the detoxification process that the eyelids started to twitch, and this only happened after dozens of times."
After General Liang was poisoned, they performed detoxification treatments on him several times a day.
They initially thought it was pointless, but after dozens of extractions, their eyelids began to twitch, giving them hope.
"Wait, that divine tea is also something that mainly targets the brain!" Old Man Xun's eyes lit up when he thought of the divine tea; he had a treatment idea.
It's like using divine tea to fight poison with poison; maybe it will work.
But the divine tea is poisonous and may cause new illnesses. It's risky, and you could be sentenced to death or beheading if things go wrong. But the old man wasn't afraid and decided to do it!
Dangdang Dangdang!
"Have all the doctors finished their examinations? Once they're done, we need to welcome General Liang back to his tent to rest!" General Chu said.
It's really not good to leave General Liang out in the open for everyone to watch... He has to protect the face of the Wei army!
"His Majesty's Imperial Guards have confirmed that the investigation is complete and General Liang is indeed still alive!" the Imperial Guards stated.
Official doctors and folk healers said, "He is indeed alive, but the poison is difficult to cure."
Old Xun, representing the scholars, said: "He is alive and has recovered after the poison was removed... This is thanks to Ah He."
He has rendered a great service. If it weren't for the mountain doctor, Uncle He, General Liang would have surely died.
Uncle Ahe said, "Don't thank me, it was Commander Jiang who provided a powerful method for removing poison."
Dangdang Dangdang!
"Wei army welcomes General Liang back to camp!" General Chu shouted, ending the display, and together with Deputy General Lang, escorted General Liang into the main tent.
"Are the Qin family members here? Is Qin Dongjia here?!" Aunt Alan searched around for Qin Xiaomi.
However, they didn't even see a single member of the Qin family.
Shan Ying's men ran out and told her, "Chief Alan, Qin Dongjia and the others have gone back to the city to deal with a major case. Both cases involve the Qin family and have caused too much trouble, so Qin Dongjia had no choice but to return to the city."
"Back in town?" Aunt Alan sighed and asked, "Can I go into town right away since I just got back? I'm in a hurry to see Master Qin and ask her about the weapon... Where is that weapon being made now? I want to go and see as soon as possible, as this is a big deal that concerns whether we can form a female army."
Having fought several battles alongside Jiang Dalang and his men, Aunt Alan was well aware of the limitations women faced on the battlefield… This was not meant to belittle herself, but rather to acknowledge that these were real, inherent shortcomings.
But powerful weapons can make up for this deficiency, allowing female soldiers to truly establish themselves on the battlefield.
"I'm going to find Deputy General Lang and General Chu to see if they can do me a favor and let me into the city first!" Aunt Alan rushed off to the main tent to find the two generals.
Bang bang bang bang bang, the sound of iron hooves pounding the ground rang out, the sound of a large number of cavalry marching.
Aunt Alan turned around and saw Jiang Dalang. She immediately pulled him into the group: "Commander Jiang, you're also eager to see the Qin family, aren't you? But the Qin family had to return to the city because of their involvement in the case. Come on, let's go find General Chu and see if he can do us a favor and let us enter the city now!"
"The Qin family is involved in the case, so we have no choice but to return to the city?" Jiang Dalang's expression changed. Without waiting for Aunt Alan, he spurred his horse and rushed towards the main tent.
