"Ten thousand elite troops, and they couldn't even withstand a single blow. Xiang Wuren deserves to die ten thousand times!"
In the main hall of the Nanzhou Provincial Governor's Mansion, Zhou Shouxian's roar almost overturned the roof. The teacup shattered on the ground. Xiang Wuren's elite troops failed to assist him, and instead became a burden to the failure of the assassination! Not only did he fail to assassinate Shang Chaozong, but just as he said, his ten thousand elite troops couldn't even withstand a single blow. What would people think of him?
His angry roar was just to vent. After sitting back in his chair, he slowly closed his eyes and fell into silence …
In Guangyi Prefecture, Feng Lingbo who received the news was furious. The matter was obvious, and no one was stupid. Wolf Fang Thieves? It was easy to guess that it was done by the Nanzhou people. Regardless of whether it was Master Wolf or not, Feng Lingbo placed the blame on the Imperial Court.
The troops of Guangyi Prefecture assumed an offensive stance. Once they started to move, guests from the Nanzhou Provincial Governor's Mansion immediately came to the Governor's Mansion to negotiate with Feng Lingbo. It was unknown what benefits they promised, but in short, both sides didn't want to make the matter bigger. Just as it was about to become big, it quickly calmed down …
In the capital, in the Song Mansion, in an elegant little courtyard, Song Jiuming faced the pond silently.
Housekeeper Liu Lu quickly walked over and reported, "Third Master is very angry after hearing the news, and is throwing a big tantrum."
Song Jiuming frowned slightly. He could understand his son's feelings. The Shanghai Sect spread the news in the cultivation world, listing all the crimes of his son, Song Shu, and announced that he was expelled from the sect. They also put a big hat on Song Shu's head for deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors. Once this hat was put on, even the ordinary people of the world couldn't bear the crime of 'deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors'. It could be said that it had tarnished Song Shu's reputation. How could Song Shu go out and meet people in the future? However, this matter was difficult to explain clearly. Sometimes, it was easy to stand on the side of the weak and show sympathy. Who could believe that the Shanghai Sect would take the initiative to find trouble with the Song family?
It had never occurred to them that the Shanghai Sect would dare to offend the Song family. When the other sect instigated the Song Sect to go to the Shanghai Sect arrived, they found that the Shanghai Sect had already left. Slowly, Song Jiuming said, "Is there still no news from the Shangqing Sect?"
Liu Lu: "He left abruptly. I don't know where he went. We're still investigating!"
Song Jiuming clasped his hands behind his back and didn't say anything. His brows were tightly furrowed. He didn't know why, but recently, there seemed to be a strange phenomenon. He discovered that many things had suddenly changed and were out of his control. The Shanghai Sect had broken away from the Song family's control, Shang Chaozong had also broken away from the imperial court's control, and the assassination in Nanzhou had also failed …
With the infantry dragging them down, the cavalry couldn't advance quickly. A journey that could have been completed in one or two days took a few days.
After a few days had passed, Feng Ruonan noticed that something was wrong. She also rode on horseback. She seized a large number of war horses from the ambushers and gave them to the wounded on her side. Even after a few days, the wounded on her side still didn't dare to move too much, afraid that their wounds would worsen. On the other hand, the wounded on Shang Chaozong's side could climb up and down the war horses by themselves. They didn't need anyone to help them anymore. Some of them could even limp and walk carefully by themselves.
The recovery rate of the wounded on Shang Chaozong's side was much faster than that on her side. Feng Ruonan naturally knew what it meant for the wounded on the battlefield to recover faster. Not only could it reduce the burden on the logistics, it could also quickly recover a batch of soldiers. This was no small matter for a battle!
On the other hand, when Shang Chaozong's injured personal guards saw that they were recovering quickly, they realized that stitches were indeed beneficial. Their fear of stitches had also been swept away. The fast recovery of their injuries had alleviated their worries to a certain extent. Everyone was much happier.
Soldiers on the battlefield were very respectful to those who could save their lives. When they saw Yuan Gang and the monks of Nanshan Temple again, they were very respectful.
"Great Master, these are a few bird eggs that our brothers just dug out from a bird's nest in the forest. They're already cooked."
When they were temporarily setting up camp that night, a wounded soldier who had received treatment from Yuan Fang came over and stuffed a few green-shelled bird eggs the size of chicken eggs into Yuan Fang's hands. Yuan Fang had no choice but to accept it. The other party forcefully stuffed the eggs into his hands and left.
It was one thing to be grateful to the monks of Nanshan Temple for saving them, but it was also another to be respectful. Furthermore, they heard that they would have to remove the stitches for them when they returned. Everyone was a little afraid of the unknown. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they would suck up to the monks in advance so that they would show mercy.
The bird eggs in Yuan Fang's hands were obviously freshly cooked. They were still a little hot in his hands. Yuan Fang said, "Amitabha. I've sinned, I've sinned!"
Eating bird eggs was also killing. Yuan Fang couldn't bring himself to eat them, so he gave the eggs to the monks and asked them to use them on the wounded.
The group of monks had smiles on their faces. They took the eggs and went to do as they were told.
There was also a smile on Yuan Fang's face. Recently, the group of monks including him had clearly felt everyone's respect for them. They were the first to think of when there was good food. The food was also the first to be picked and sent to them.
This feeling of being respected was really good. The group of monks found that it was actually quite good to follow these people. Yuan Fang also felt that the Buddha's words were not wrong. He began to nag the monks about doing good, helping others and so on.
Sitting next to the campfire, Shang Chaozong looked around and saw that his brothers were in good condition. He revealed a rare smile for a few days. "Qing 'er still has a good eye. It seems that Daoye's healing method is really effective."
Shang Shuqing pursed his lips and smiled.
Lan Ruoting nodded his head to express his agreement. He was clear of the injuries on the battlefield. For example a deep cut on the leg, under normal circumstances, one would need at least half a month to a month. Who would dare to walk around, but how many days had it only been? He muttered, "Those monks also use what they learned on the spot. It seems that this healing method is not difficult to learn. If Daoye is willing to impart it to us, it would be of great benefit to the battlefield treatment in the future."
Shang Chaozong was silent. He was afraid that the other would not easily teach it to others as it was an inherited skill. He could not help but said to Shang Shuqing, "Qing-er, why not find a chance to test Daoye's attitude?"
"Alright!" Shang Shuqing nodded.
Just as they were speaking, there was a commotion on their side. Feng Ruonan brought people over and one did not know what she was doing as she stood beside a personal guard.
Shang Chaozong and the rest immediately got up and walked over to see the situation.
"Princess!" That personal guard who climbed up in front of the campfire bowed.
Feng Ruonan circled around him twice before suddenly saying, "Take off your pants."
"Uh …" That personal guard was stunned as he looked towards Shang Chaozong who was walking over.
Hearing this, Shang Chaozong's expression sunk. Feng Ruonan was after all his woman, so how could he endure such words.
However, Feng Ruonan's next sentence made everyone feel relieved, "Look at the injury on your leg."
Even so, Shang Shuqing was somewhat speechless. This Sister-in-law was really fierce. Even if there was a reason, how could a woman say to a man to take off his pants in front of everyone? Couldn't she say it clearly at the side?
Finally that personal guard still took off his pants, revealing the stitched up knife wound on his leg.
After checking and confirming, Feng Ruonan indicated to Shang Chaozong and the rest to the side and said expressionlessly, "The injured soldiers on your side are recovering well."
Shang Chaozong said indifferently, "It is Daoye who made extraordinary moves."
Feng Ruonan said, "Since we are all family, there is no reason to favor one and discriminate against the other. Get him to treat the injured soldiers on my side as well."
So it was this matter. Lan Ruoting's expression was a little strange. It wasn't easy for this woman to say that they were all family to the Prince! However, he could understand Feng Ruonan's feelings. As the commander of the army, if he had the means, how could he ignore the injuries of his brothers? To a certain extent, he was lowering his head to the Prince.
Shang Chaozong muttered, "This is Daoye's handiwork. I'm afraid that it will depend on whether he is willing or not."
Feng Ruonan had already made this judgment. When she saw Niu Youdao holed up on the battlefield, she understood that Shang Chaozong didn't have much influence on Niu Youdao. It seemed like their relationship was limited. However, her relationship with Niu Youdao was a little strained, so it wasn't appropriate for her to look for Niu Youdao directly. She looked for Shang Chaozong because she wanted someone to help her.
Shang Chaozong didn't think much of it and didn't decline. He brought her along to see Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao was meditating in his tent. Before the group of people could get close to Niu Youdao's tent, Yuan Gang appeared out of nowhere and blocked their way.
Yuan Fang also appeared out of nowhere to block them. Together with Yuan Gang, they stood on the left and right.
Yuan Gang had already told him that it was his responsibility to protect the Taoist Master's safety. If anything happened to the Taoist Master, he wouldn't have it easy either.
Yuan Fang also knew that he still needed Niu Youdao's protection. Regardless of whether he was willing or not, he had to do as he was told.
The monks of Nanshan Temple also emerged one after another to stare at this side. These people had gradually formed a small group with Niu Youdao as the center, but they were unaware of it. Under Niu Youdao's careful control, these people were not bound by the Shang Chaozong and Feng Ruonan's restrictions, and gathered around Niu Youdao as partners.
Feng Ruonan gritted her teeth when she saw Yuan Fang. However, she had something to do, so she endured it.
As they spoke, Niu Youdao's voice came from inside the tent. "Let them in."
Only then did the people outside the tent let them in. Niu Youdao, who was sitting cross-legged, stood up and cupped his hands in greeting.
As Shang Chaozong explained Feng Ruonan's purpose, Niu Youdao noticed that Lan Ruoting was winking at him and shaking his head slightly. It seemed like he was telling him not to agree.
Shang Shuqing was an observant person. He noticed Lan Ruoting's reaction.
After hearing the purpose of their visit, Niu Youdao sighed. "It's too late to stitch it up now."
Feng Ruonan's face tightened. "If I have offended you in any way, it's all my fault. Daoye, please don't take it to heart. I hereby apologize to Daoye. I hope that Daoye can let bygones be bygones and be magnanimous! I guarantee that we will let bygones be bygones. I won't find fault with you again. "
Niu Youdao scratched his nose. He knew that this woman had misunderstood. He smiled bitterly. "Princess, I'm afraid you're thinking wrongly. It's fine if we had stitched it up in time. But after these few days, the wound has already started to heal. It's not appropriate to stitch it up again."
Feng Ruonan pleaded again and again. The result was the same. Finally, she snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Niu Youdao was helpless. He guessed that his vile image had already penetrated deep into this woman's heart. She still misunderstood.
The group of people left. Only a smiling Lan Ruoting was left. Niu Youdao leaned in and asked. "What does Mister Lan mean by asking me not to agree?"
Lan Ruoting acted sneakily. He whispered into his ear. "Princess is still not willing to sleep with Prince. I agree with Daoye's idea of turning Feng Lingbo's men into Prince's men! As the general of the army, Princess will not bear to see her men suffer. If Daoye can use his miraculous treatment to bring Princess and Prince together, it's a blessing! After all, the two of them are husband and wife and have the title of husband and wife. To Wangfei, it is not something unacceptable. "
