If it weren't for Luzi's special identity, these Surgeons would likely return safely to their respective positions afterward. The medical techniques they learned this time would be widely disseminated, allowing them to treat more so-called difficult cases. Unfortunately, when King Zhao of Qin learned about Luzi's unusual condition, he immediately ordered a cover-up operation. All the Surgeons who participated in treating Luzi were secretly executed to ensure that Luzi's unique constitution remained unknown to the outside world.
As the parties involved, Luzi and others were unaware of this matter, resulting in missed opportunities to protect these good people who were implicated because of him. It wasn't until King Qin Ying Zheng took control of the State Unity of the Realm that he learned the truth during his investigation. To commemorate the efforts of these healers, he ordered the construction of a Medicine God Temple near the ancient city county to honor the Surgeons. The deity enshrined there was not an old man with white hair but a young man with delicate features. As for why it was a young person instead of an elder, various legends circulated without a clear answer.
...
After sending off the hurried Lu Chu, Luzi stood alone on the road, watching her figure disappear into the vast white snowfield. He did not wish to prevent Chuchu from entering the city, but ultimately abandoned that idea. He felt content just to have seen her once in this life; there was no need to leave behind lingering thoughts that would cause restlessness.
With this farewell, they would soon be worlds apart. If they were to meet again, it would likely be a blessing from Heavenly Will! A gust of cold wind interrupted Luzi's sorrow. Taking a deep breath, he heard a sigh from deep within his heart. Shaking his head to completely dispel that thought, he raised his gaze towards Gao Ping and fell into contemplation.
The Shangdang Region seemed mostly under the control of the Qin Army, but the current situation was still not optimistic. After all, the main force of Zhao's troops remained intact, with hundreds of thousands of Army still lingering around Yang Gujian. The Zhao Army's Danhe Defense Line had undergone extensive renovations, making it impossible for the Qin Army to cross the river.
Yanggu Stream is an important tributary of Qingshui, with a drainage area of about three thousand kilometers. The water flows rapidly, and its width approaches one hundred meters. Even if wooden boats and rafts could withstand Zhao Army's arrows, they could not defend against fire arrows and Catapult attacks.
It is said that the vanguard of the Qin Army has attempted several crossings. Even with strong support from Qin State's Crossbow Arrow Formation, they have been unable to achieve their goal of crossing the river or even secure a foothold on the opposite bank; soldiers without sturdy wooden boat protection were shot dead on the riverbank.
The longer they delayed, the greater the casualties! No! They could not wait any longer; they must go to the front lines immediately! Luzi thought as he turned and walked toward the city gate. Hearing the sound of the city gate reopening, he looked up and noticed three men on the city tower peering down at him. His face flushed red; clearly, those actions with Chuchu had been seen by these three.
As Luzi entered the city, the gate closed again. It was wartime now; being cautious wouldn't hurt. As he stepped into the city, Wang Jian, Li Xin, and Sun Thirteen had already rushed down from the city wall to greet him.
The three had intended to make a joke but fell silent upon seeing Luzi's serious expression.
Before entering the city, Luzi had already decided to head towards Yang Gujian. Seeing that three generals had come to report, he beckoned them to follow him back to his temporary general's residence. Regardless of anything else, he needed permission from Commander before mobilizing troops. Using military forces casually was no trivial matter; it could lead to severe consequences. Even if Old General did not pursue this matter further, he would surely be scolded by his superior upon returning home.
As the Military Map unfolded, Luzi lowered his head and stared at it for a while. Noticing that there was no movement around him, he thought the three of them had already left. Just as he was about to send someone out to find them, he saw that they were all standing around the table. He sighed lightly and reached up to touch his ears. "It seems that the three generals have greatly improved their skills; I can't even hear your breathing."
Wang Jian glanced at Li Xin and Sun Thirteen, holding back the truth. It wasn't that their skills had improved! It was clearly due to his own hearing and perception deteriorating! The prolonged unconsciousness had inevitably led to a decline in bodily functions, and recovering would require a significant amount of time to compensate.
Fortunately, they had all practiced their skills since childhood, so gradually regaining the original feeling was possible. However, there was a serious issue: the level of feeling regained would be exactly what it was—there would be no improvement over what it used to be. In fact, it might even be lower than before, and reaching the previous heights again would require even more time.
But these words couldn't be spoken now; if Luzi became upset again because of them, it would be troublesome! The three exchanged glances and reached a consensus to divert the topic with some light banter. While Luzi was focused on the map, the three were clearly observing Chuchu.
What is going on? You want to head to the front lines before your body has fully recovered? What if you end up with aftereffects?
Wang Jian rolled up the map and smiled. "We're just taking a casual look; your immediate priority is to focus on recovering. There will be plenty of battles in the future; we’re not short on time."
"Yes! Yes!" Li Xin and Thirteen responded in unison. "The senior brother is absolutely right; we’re not short on this little bit of time."
Hearing those familiar voices, Luzi felt as if there was something separating him from them. He touched his ears again and suddenly realized that the problem lay within himself. It wasn't that his brothers' skills had improved; rather, his hearing had deteriorated. Combining this with Wang Jian's earlier mention of recovery, he finally remembered that he had merely been in a deep sleep.
"How long have I been unconscious?"
"To be precise, it should be seventeen days!" A melodious voice accompanied by a beautiful woman named Jiao Niang stepped into the hall.
Since Luzi had awakened, he remembered that there hadn't been such an unforgettable woman in the residence. Looking at his equally stunned brothers, he quickly understood that this was also their first time seeing her. Since she could accurately state how long the patient had been unconscious, she must have been attending to him all along. Li Xin and Thirteen were usually quite carefree, but how could meticulous Wang Jian not know!?
With a head full of questions, Luzi felt it inappropriate to ask his brothers in front of an outsider. He could only bow respectfully and say, "Thank you for taking care of me these past few days, may I ask... who are you?"
Hearing this, the woman who entered simply smiled slightly without showing any displeasure. She lightly moved closer and began to carefully examine the complexion of the Healer. For some reason, her expression suddenly darkened, and she warned, "The external injuries seem to have healed, but the internal ones still need time to recover. If you dare to use your internal energy again, this Young Lady will have no way to help you!"
I am almost going crazy! Has my memory also started to deteriorate!?
Luzi struggled to recall the recent events; clearly, he had never seen this woman before! However, judging by the tone of the person speaking in front of him, it was evident that she came every day to check on his condition! This is quite troubling! It seems the truth is even more terrifying; not only has my martial arts ability regressed!
