The deer antler was placed on a plate of pure silver and heated up with charcoal, slowly turning into ashes. The deer antler ashes were then mixed with black grass root, angelica dahurica, angelica root, dried rehmannia root, coptis chinensis root, raw rehmannia root, dragon bone, blood, amber, and other herbs, mixed with sesame oil to form an ointment, which was then stuffed into the wound. Then, the wound was stitched up using mulberry bark as a thread. A top-notch ointment mixed with fresh chicken blood was applied on the outside, and the wound was then carefully bandaged with steamed white cloth...
Some of these medicines were used to stop bleeding, while others were used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Even the thread used to stitch up the wound was made from mulberry bark. The mulberry bark itself was a type of traditional Chinese medicine. It had sedative, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and bactericidal effects. After the wound was healed, it would naturally be absorbed, and the exposed parts would fall off. Even removing the thread was unnecessary.
Back when Wei Tuan'er framed the crown prince, Li Dan, the musician An Jinzang, in order to clear the crown prince's name, cut open his abdomen in front of everyone and pulled out all of his intestines. The imperial physicians in the palace also used mulberry bark to stitch up his wound. This bastard was lucky and actually survived. After Li Tang restored the throne, he greatly rewarded this musician. In the end, he was promoted to a duke, and was even given the posthumous title of 'Zhong' after his death. Of course, this was a story for another time.
Yang Fan remained unconscious from start to finish, while Gu Er and Gu San assisted the famed physician from the side. Even so, the famed physician was still sweating profusely by the time they were done. His disciple helped him to the side, and he drank a few mouthfuls of water using his disciple's hand. Only then did his breathing stabilize.
Gu Zhuting asked with a pale face and weak legs, "Teacher, my Ah Lang... how is he?"
The famed physician was washing his hands in the basin. The blood on his hands quickly turned red as it mixed with the water. His disciple brought the basin down and changed it for him. Only then did the famed physician slowly say, "This is a formula passed down in my family for nourishing the muscles and promoting blood circulation. It has the miraculous effects of cooling and stopping bleeding, detoxifying and relieving pain, and removing rotten flesh..."
Gu Zhuting was not in the mood to listen to him boast about his ancestral prescription. But now that her Langjun's life was in his hands, she had to listen even if she was impatient. Gu Da became impatient and said, "Sir, we just want to know … Is our Langjun alright?"
Although this famous doctor was someone invited by the Dugu Family, and he knew that the Dugu Family valued this person greatly, he was certainly an honored guest of the Dugu Family. However, people with outstanding achievements in their profession would always have an air of arrogance. He was very unhappy with Gu Da's disrespectful tone. He glared at Gu Da and said, "Nothing? No matter how good this old man's medicine is, it can only save people who shouldn't die.
Although this person's body was strong and he had avoided being hit in the vital organs, he had still been pierced through the chest by an arrow. His injuries were too severe. Even if he woke up, he might not be out of danger. Whether or not he could survive would depend on the will of the heavens. Oh, by the way … you mustn't let him eat too much porridge for the next few days. And, you must avoid sour and salty food as much as possible. You can eat dry food or fatty food to quench his thirst … "
Although this doctor was arrogant, he was still very attentive to the patients he was treating. His disciple brought a basin of water over. As he continued to wash his hands, he carefully reminded Gu Zhuting, who was more good-looking than Gu Da. Gu Zhuting nodded her head and remembered his words.
Not long after the doctor left, Dugu Yu walked in with a calm face. Putting aside his personal friendship with Yang Fan, he had already linked the future and interests of his entire family to Yang Fan. The fact that Yang Fan's life and death was unknown was a big blow to him. Compared to Yang Fan's life and death, Dugu Wentao's death was nothing.
He had clearly asked the doctor about Yang Fan's injuries. After he came in, he did not ask Gu Zhuting about Yang Fan's condition. He silently stood in front of the sickbed and looked at the unconscious and pale Yang Fan. After a long silence, he said in a low voice, "I will invite another famous doctor. I will invite all the famous doctors in Chang 'an who specialize in treating external injuries. I will definitely do my best to save Erlang's life!"
Dugu Yu turned around and walked out of the room. He hurried along the long corridor until he reached the end of the corridor. His hands tightly grasped the railing. His figure dived into the water. The fish in the water thought that their master was going to feed them. They all crowded over, splashing everywhere.
There were two people following closely behind Dugu Yu. Dugu Yu pursed his lips and turned his head slightly. He said to one of them, "Send out the order. Tell our people to stop all actions. Everything … will wait until the condition of Yang Fan's injury is clear!"
That person nodded and quickly left.
Dugu Yu let out a long sigh and painfully closed his eyes. He muttered to himself, "Erlang, don't blame me. Every step I take concerns the future of the entire family. I can't be careless. I can't be careless!"
…
Chen Dong and Hu Yuanli did not know about Yang Fan's situation. From the moment they refused to attend the banquet at Furong Restaurant, they knew that the crazy counterattack from the various forces in Chang 'an was about to begin. They were hurriedly making preparations according to the established plan.
The generals of the Thousand Horsemen Battalion also did not know about Yang Fan's current situation. Since Yang Fan had fought his way to Chang 'an, he often left alone. They had long gotten used to it. They still trained the soldiers and repaired the barracks as usual. According to Yang Fan's request, they firmly controlled the two key areas in the north of the imperial city where they could control the two Xuanwu Gates.
Ren Wei and the other guards had always been close to Yang Fan. But this time, when Yang Fan had an accident, they had not been by Yang Fan's side. This was because it was not convenient for the ASEAN gangs to bring too many unfamiliar faces to Ba Shang Pier. This time, there was actually no danger, and Yang Fan was skilled and daring. So they had all stayed at the Shun Gate.
When Yang Fan had an accident and was rushed to the Dugu Residence for treatment, they had also followed. At this time, they were by Yang Fan's side. Ever since they had become Yang Fan's personal guards, Yang Fan had always tried to rope them in. At this time, they finally saw results.
Once the news that Yang Fan's life and death was unknown was made public, it would cause "Xian Zong" to once again fall into a situation where there was no leader. Many of Yang Fan's arrangements would also be greatly affected.
Dugu Yu had his concerns and slowed down his cooperation with Yang Fan's actions. It would not have too big of an effect. If Xian Zong stopped because of this, then Chen Dong and Hu Yuanli, who did not know, would have to fight alone and be crushed to pieces.
On the surface, Xian Zong did not play any role in this matter. But no matter in Chang 'an or Luoyang, countless people and matters were developing according to their wishes under their quiet influence. Ren Wei and the others did not report the news to the "Succession Hall." On this matter, they all maintained silence.
In the Ba Shang Inn, Abdullah paced with a heavy heart. His usual frivolous smile had completely disappeared. He had not thought that such an accident would occur in his meticulous and flawless plan.
Everything was ever-changing. Indeed, no one could predict everything, especially when it came to human nature. It was too unpredictable. Who would have thought that such an important person would ultimately fall into the hands of a little woman who had been ignored by everyone? Humans could treat others like ants, but humans were not ants. When an ordinary man was angry, blood could be spilled within five steps, and the world would be covered in white mourning clothes!
"Master!"
Abbas rushed in and raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat off his forehead. He said to Abdullah, "Master, I'm back!"
Abdullah rushed forward and asked, "How was it?"
Abbas said, "Ba Shang is very chaotic. Fortunately, I look very strange. They knew at a glance that I was not one of them, nor was I their enemy. Otherwise, I might not have been able to return. They were fighting, constantly fighting. One against another, one against a group, a group against a group, a group against a group, a group against a group …"
Abdullah said angrily, "Abbas, if you continue to talk nonsense, Master will beat you to death!"
When Abbas heard this, he quickly concluded, "It's very scary. In short, it's very scary. Ba Shang is now more chaotic than ever before. Master, if there's nothing important, it's best not to go out on the streets. It's too scary."
Abdullah stared at him and said, "That's it?"
"That's it!"
Abdullah could not restrain his anger. He grabbed him by the collar, picked up the handsome boy, and shook him like a broken doll. He roared, "Where is the city? How is it? Why did I ask you to go out and find out? Damn it, did your mother sleep with a scorpion to give birth to an idiot with a brain smaller than the tip of a needle? "
Abbas was so scared that his face turned pale. He quickly shook his hands and said, "There's no news of him in the city. Everything is safe and sound."
Abdullah was stunned and stopped his crazy movements. He asked suspiciously, "You mean … there's no news of his death in the city?"
"He's not dead, Master."
"It's only a matter of time. More importantly, there's no news of his death in the city?"
"Yes, Master. No one knows. The officials don't know. The imperial envoys don't know. Even the imperial guards stationed in the north of the city are as usual. There's no change. I heard that Yang Fan was sent to the Dugu family the moment he entered the city. Moreover, it was in the name of that unlucky guy, Tao, who died. In fact … "
At this moment, his face was red from being grabbed by his collar. Abbas quickly pointed to his neck. Abdullah snorted coldly and put him down. Abbas took a few deep breaths and said, "Merciful Master, in fact, until now, it seems that no one knows his identity. The people in Ba don't know. They all think that the guy who saved the beautiful lady that you're so infatuated with was an ordinary guard. And no one in the city knows that he's General Yang. "
Abdullah's eyes narrowed. He slowly paced around the room. After a long time, he slowly said, "According to the original arrangement, continue with our plan!"
Abbas adjusted his collar and tidied his beautiful golden hair. Suddenly hearing Abdullah's words, Abbas became anxious. "Master, that General is already dead …"
"He's not dead yet!"
"He'll die sooner or later. This is what Master said."
"So what?"
"He's about to die. Without his cooperation, how can we complete the mission? This is too risky. "
Abdullah narrowed his eyes and said, "It's not important whether he's dead or not. What's important is that no one knows that he's about to die. So, our plan can still be carried out. This is the agreement between him and I, and also the promise I made to Shen Mu. The Prophet said that if either party breaks the agreement, it should be mentioned before the separation! I must keep my agreement with them! "
Abbas clasped his hands in front of his chest and said with admiration, "My Master, your integrity and perseverance are admirable. You're a true gentleman."
Abdullah smiled and nodded. He thought fiercely to himself, "It was originally a double kill. I'm not an idiot raised by scorpions. How can I give up!"
