Ms. Doctor Divine

"Our troops, after walking so long against the blizzard from the capital, have lost no one at all! We didn't even get a cold, other than six people who just took some breaks in the tents due to the long walk, that's all!"

"…"

"We are not newly-recruited soldiers and we know how much loss Lady Chaoyan has cut for us. Because of Lady Chaoyan, we have suffered so much less!" the soldiers from the capital said thankfully.

They were defending Lady Chaoyan because they had benefited from her.

Well…

They had thought things through during the past two days.

Ladies in the capital always lived a luxurious and peaceful life, and Lady Chaoyan was the Lord Huai's future Princess Consort so she would definitely live a better life too, but she chose not to do so.

Instead, she rode with them all the way to Xinzhou through the snow, and even when they were taking a break, Lady Chaoyan was brewing medical soup with her disciples.

So they had to step forward and defend her, when someone was humiliating her.

Wu Leng and his soldiers all fell silent.

They were all blushing out of embarrassment.

They witnessed too many of the comrades' deaths and were so angry that they had nowhere to vent their anger, thus not thinking things through before making accusations out of nowhere.

Wu Leng looked at Gu Chaoyan and realized that he was wrong, but he had no idea how to apologize to Lady Chaoyan. So he was startled for a while before he kneeled down directly, "I am sorry, Lady Chaoyan, I am so, sorry!"

Gu Chaoyan helped him up directly, "Men should not kneel down easily…"

"…"

"It is just a misunderstanding and the situation at the border has made you too anxious to think it through. That is totally understandable. We are doing this for the country and for the people."

"…"

"Just continue with your practice!" Gu Chaoyan said calmly and looked at the soldiers who were defending her, nodding with a smile as a way of thanking them. They did not have to do so, but they did step forward and defended her. That was why she was going to thank them properly.

When the situation was settled, Gu Chaoyan looked at Xia Yinghan and they started to walk shoulder to shoulder.

She and Xia Yinghan had not seen each other for a long while and she had not expected to see her at Xinzhou under such circumstances.

"Yinghan, how is everything?" Gu Chaoyan asked.

"It is okay. We have too few doctors here, but I can offer some help when I am with General Huangpu. Those soldiers can be treated properly. Those soldiers are mostly straightforward and days just pass by quickly. I wish there was no war here," Xia Yinghan said emotionally.

She did enjoy Jiayu Pass, especially when the sun was setting. Jiayu Pass looked extremely beautiful, but at this moment, it was covered with snow and blood.

She had witnessed too much blood spilt all over, so she could not help but feel emotional, wishing that such days could pass as soon as possible.

She was a good doctor, but she could not treat everyone.

Xia Yinghan could not help but get very emotional by this point.

Neither of them were walking with a good expression on their face.

Suddenly… the sound of horns arose at the wall.

That sound indicated that the enemies were approaching.
