The head of the Mu family

Chapter 96: Immediately Joined the Army as a Doctor Upon Arrival at the Border

“I will go with you, madam!”

We agreed before that we would go to Tongtian Pass together.

Do you want to abandon me?

I don't care, of course I'm going with you.

"Okay, okay..."

"Huaisheng, I won't bother with formalities, I just want to set off as soon as possible!"

"Then we shall depart tomorrow."

I'll write down a list of medicinal herbs; please have Uncle Ping prepare them tonight, the more the better!

Also, after we left.

Have people buy strong liquor and clean cotton strips from the counties near Tongtian Pass and transport them to Tongtian Pass.

You can buy cotton strips at clothing stores; there are plenty available.

I went to Dr. Lan's house to ask him for some medicine.

I'll be home tomorrow, waiting for you to pick me up so we can go together!

"Okay, okay!"

Without further ado, I'll head back and prepare!

Mu Huaisheng went to Lan Yaoshen's house again late at night.

The Blue Medicine God couple were already getting ready to wash up and go to bed when they were startled to see Mu Huaisheng arrive.

After she explained the reason.

He immediately rummaged through drawers and cabinets, giving all the medicines he had stored at home to Mu Huaisheng.

Then they gave me a prescription for treating the plague, saying it was an improved version of the last one, and to take it with me just in case.

That night, after arranging things at the shop, he took a stack of flower patterns he had drawn and gave them to Qingxing.

The next morning, Qingxing gave it to the two gentlemen.

Mu Huaisheng then followed the noblewoman to Tongtian Pass.

The next day, when Wanxing came to the shop with her pregnant belly, she learned that Mu Huaisheng had gone to Tongtian Pass again.

Feeling grateful, I managed the shop even more diligently.

They traveled from dawn till dusk, only stopping at an official post station late at night.

The people at the official post station knew that it was a shipment being sent to the border, and they gave the horses plenty of feed at night.

We arrived in Panlong in about ten days.

After resting for a night, they continued their journey towards Tongtian Pass.

There were no official post stations along the way, so they had to spend the night in the wilderness.

After traveling for two more days, from dawn till dusk, they finally arrived at Tongtian Pass.

The Marquis was both concerned and angry when he learned that his wife had brought a lot of things:

"Ah Yun, you're being ridiculous!"

The imperial supplies should arrive in the next few days.

Go back now!

"With you here, how can I go into battle?"

The lady, disregarding everything else, threw herself into the Marquis's arms and began to cry.

The Marquis hissed and took a step back.

The lady quickly let go of him:

"Rongshan! You're injured?"

I was wondering why I needed to go back so quickly. I brought Huaisheng with me; please let Huaisheng see me!"

"The military doctor has already bandaged it up."

Don't worry!

"No! Listen to me, I won't feel at ease if I don't check it myself!"

The Marquis took off his armor and unbuttoned his inner garment. His wounds, which had just been punctured by the Lady's sudden attack, were bleeding slightly, and the Lady's tears immediately welled up again.

Mu Huaisheng carefully unwrapped the bandage. The wound wasn't deep, but about a finger's length of skin and flesh was turned outwards.

The lady immediately covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face as she turned away.

The wound had been cleaned, so Mu Huaisheng took a needle and thread to suture it, applied medicine, and re-bandaged it.

Let him rest for a few days, and then give him some anti-inflammatory and wound-healing medication.

"Don't worry, Madam, the Marquis will be fine."

"My lord, I'd like to go to the wounded soldiers' camp to see if there's anything I can help with."

The Marquis immediately summoned a personal guard and took Mu Huaisheng to the wounded soldiers' camp.

As I approached the entrance to the wounded soldiers' tent, a strong smell of blood, mixed with the pungent odor of the barracks, hit me.

Thankfully the weather has cooled down, otherwise it would be even more indescribable.

The servant who had come to help carry the medicine box immediately covered his nose.

Mu Huaisheng seemed oblivious, not even flinching, and went inside.

Mu Huaisheng was helpless:

I have a sense of smell too~

But while they are protecting their country, we, the protected people, must at least not show it on the surface.

If you put yourself in their shoes, you'd feel incredibly disheartened.

After she went inside, the guards led her to an old military doctor.

The old medic glanced up and pointed to the two wounded soldiers beside him:

"These two need their medication changed!"

Mu Huaisheng didn't say much and immediately went to check on the injured.

Seeing that the servants of the Marquis's mansion were about to give up, he said:

"You go and serve the Marquis and his wife first; I don't need them here."

The servant quickly bowed and fled as if he were escaping.

The old military doctor glanced at Mu Huaisheng again, then turned away and continued with his work.

Mu Huaisheng changed the dressing on the wounded soldier who had been shot by an arrow and carefully bandaged him up.

They stitched up the wounded soldier's knife wound, applied medicine, and were about to bandage him!

"Wait a minute! Your sewing skills are better than mine, young man's."

Can you?

Upon hearing this, Mu Huaisheng continued bandaging the wound while saying:

"After I finish helping you with your business today, I'll sew it for you to see!"

The old military doctor's attitude softened considerably after that.

By the time all the wounded had been treated, it was already dark.

Mu Huaisheng went to the military doctor's tent, and the old military doctor called over the other military doctors.

Mu Huaisheng then used fabric as a demonstration.

Just after the lesson was finished, a servant from the Marquis's residence came to call for dinner.

Mu Huaisheng bowed to the military doctors and then followed the servants of the Marquis's residence.

The military doctors began to sigh:

The doctor brought by the Marquis's mansion is quite capable.

He doesn't act arrogantly and is willing to teach others.

If you encounter something you don't understand, don't hesitate to ask immediately.

This temperament is actually kind of on my side~

I ate dinner with the entire Hou family.

At the border, there weren't as many strict rules about separating men and women.

I saw Li Rongchuan again.

"Little Huaisheng! What brings you here?"

"Did your sister-in-law bring you here?"

Mu Huaisheng rolled his eyes inwardly:

I really don't know how someone with your brain can lead troops into battle!

"Reporting to Second Master, the Madam is worried about the Marquis and even more concerned about the soldiers on the border, so she brought me here to see him."

"Could you do something, however small, to help the soldiers on the frontier?"

Mu Huaisheng sighed:

This little guy still talks so bluntly, but he's really growing up to be more and more handsome!

As long as he doesn't speak, he exudes masculinity.

Huh? This kid, is he still single?

Hey~ I was just saying, after we finish measuring the grain, could we allocate it to little Doctor Mu?

Thinking about it this way, Li Rongchuan suddenly seemed much more pleasing to the eye.

The Crown Prince is currently recovering from an injury, so Li Rongchuan is very busy.

They would patrol at dawn, and then train the troops.

We'll go on patrol again at noon, practice formations in the afternoon, and then go on patrol again after dinner.

Basically, I can only see Li Rongchuan during dinner time, just to feast my eyes.

After dinner each day, Mu Huaisheng would take turns with the military doctors, keeping watch in pairs.

A month later, the weather grew colder and colder, and Li Hou, who had recovered from his injuries, immediately began patrol drills.

The woman and the two maids who brought her, who knew some martial arts, also changed into men's clothing after arriving.

Last summer, Mu Huaisheng, who had come of age, lived with two maids from the Marquis's mansion.

Sure enough, as winter approached its midpoint, disturbances outside the city began to occur frequently.

The wounded soldiers camp was constantly being evacuated after being healed, and new wounded soldiers were constantly being brought in.

The offensive intensified as December approached.

On this day, Li Rongchuan personally carried in a wounded soldier dressed in a young general's armor.

He shouted urgently as he entered the tent:

"Huai Sheng! Huai Sheng!"

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Mu Huaisheng, his hands still busy, glanced up and replied:

"Carefully put him down in that empty berth over there!"

After speaking, he methodically tied knots, cut threads, applied medicine, and bandaged the wound.

He immediately disinfected his hands with strong liquor and came over to check.

He was a young general, nearing adulthood, covered in blood, and had been shot in the chest with an arrow.

Fortunately, the wounds weren't fatal; he had large and small knife and sword wounds on his abdomen and arms.

"We need to remove the arrowhead first, otherwise the other wounds will reopen while we're removing it. Quickly, get some anesthetic powder!"

"We've run out of anesthetic!"

A military doctor replied.
