Shadow Guard stand-in

He Jue stayed by Jin Jiuye's side all night, and fell asleep in the middle of the night in a daze. Gao Shanying wanted to persuade His Majesty to rest, but thinking of He Jue's concern for Jin Jiuye along the way, he decided to forget it.

The next morning, when He Jue woke up, he felt that Jin Jiuye's whole body was scorching hot, very hot.He hurriedly called the medical officer in, and the medical officer happened to have boiled the medicine and brought it in to feed Jin Jiuye.

"I knew Lord Yingwei would have a fever, so I ordered my apprentice to suffer from these fever-reducing decoctions early in the morning, so let Lord Yingwei take it first."

He Jue took the medicine bowl from the old medical officer's hand, and fed it to Jin Jiuye little by little. Often the amount fed was pitifully small, and most of it flowed out from the corner of his mouth.But He Jue was still very patient. If one bowl was not enough, he would feed two bowls. He didn't mind the trouble and was willing to take care of this man forever.

The old doctor said: "Your Majesty, I said yesterday that Lord Shadow Guard is still extremely dangerous even though he has a pulse, and there are so many wounds on his body, and there is a shortage of medicine at Yushiguan. I am afraid that the injuries cannot be controlled. I hope Your Majesty will be mentally prepared." , Whether he can be rescued or not depends on the destiny."

He Jue was also worried about this. He knew that if the fever persisted for a traumatized person, he would have to accept his fate and wait for death in the end.

"What can you do?" He Jue asked solemnly, "No matter what the method is, even if you go to Beiqi to ask for medicine, I will definitely bring it."

The old medical officer sighed and shook his head, "I really can't do it. If someone else is injured like Lord Yingwei, there is no cure at this moment. All I can do is to help Lord Yingwei reduce his fever all the time. But whether the fever can subside depends on Lord Shadow Guard himself."

Looking at Jin Jiuye himself is actually looking at fate and luck.

He Jue sighed and looked at the man on the couch, without saying a word for a long time.

"However, I heard that there is a mad doctor in Qingyang Mansion who has some ideas about healing trauma that ordinary people can't understand. Your Majesty is willing to take the risk, so you can go to Qingyang Mansion and invite him to come and have a look."

The old medical officer hesitated for a long time before saying this, after all, if the mad doctor put Mr. Yingwei to death, he would be implicated because of his recommendation.But he wanted to take a gamble, he was kind and wise, even if Master Yingwei died, he would not indiscriminately implicate others.

"Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will give it a try." He Jue made up his mind and ordered Pei Xingge to find a way to find the mad doctor. Pei Xingge dared not be negligent, and directly asked Pei Rong to rush to Qingyang Mansion with his men.

Qingyang Mansion is the closest state capital to Yushiguan, but since Yushiguan is on the border, it will take three or four days to attack even with a fast horse.But in the afternoon of the next day, Pei Rong tied up a civilian man and came back. The man screamed and struggled, but to no avail. Pei Rong directly tied him to the horse's back and stuffed his mouth with a cloth strip.

He Jue was a little surprised when he saw it, "This person?"

Pei Rong said: "This kid is swearing, I think it's troublesome, so I tied him up."

"It's really that crazy doctor?" He Jue couldn't believe it.

The man was dragged off the horse by Pei Rong, before he had time to untie the rope and the cloth strip in his mouth, he could only look around with a pair of rolling eyes.

Pei Rong said: "That's right. I rushed to Shitou Town day and night. I thought it would take some time to find a mad doctor, so I asked someone first, but I didn't expect this kid to be in Shitou Town. I rushed over to arrest him. At that time, he was about to disembowel an old man, saying that he used some special medical skills to help people cure abdominal pain."

Stone Town is the small town where He Jue stayed when he came here. It is at the edge of Qingyang Mansion, and it is only a day's walk away from Yushi Pass.

He Jue nodded and motioned Pei Rong to untie the mad doctor. Hearing Pei Rong's words, the man knew that He Jue's status was unusual, so he calmed down a lot.

He Jue sized him up, thinking that this man could disembowell someone, he was really crazy.But judging by his age, he seems to be in his twenties, and the doctors known by ordinary people must be older and more experienced, the better. This person is acting surly and young, I am afraid he is really crazy.But a dead horse has to be a living horse doctor, Jin Jiuye's fever has not subsided, and he is very anxious.

"I invited you here because I heard that you are good at treating trauma, and also know some methods that ordinary people don't understand. Now there is a patient beside me who urgently needs the treatment of a doctor."

Seeing that He Jue's attitude was very humble and polite, and he was willing to believe in his medical skills, the man smiled happily.

"Then let me see the patients. There are many intractable diseases in this world that ordinary doctors can't cure, because the methods they use are wrong. It's rare for you to trust me, and I will do my best."

"Thank you very much." He Jue said politely, "Please!"

Leading the lunatic doctor into the military tent where Jin Jiuye was, the lunatic doctor said as he walked, "Let me explain in advance, if I have nothing to do, then this person can only be hopeless and can only wait for death. The doctor I'm not a god, and I don't have the ability to bring the dead back to life, so you can't blame me."

He Jue was silent and didn't speak. Pei Rong who was next to him said sharply: "Your boy, please be more polite. This is the monarch of the Southern Tang Dynasty and our Majesty. The one you want to punish is the Lord Shadow Guard of the Xuanyi Division. If you don’t treat it wholeheartedly, your head will be taken immediately.”

Pei Rong is not a violent general, on the contrary, he is calmer than his elder brother Pei Xingge, but now he speaks badly towards the mad doctor, which shows that he has been popular along the way.

The crazy doctor laughed and said: "People in the world face death in the same way. As the saying goes, all living beings are equal, and no one is special."

"Yes." He Jue responded to the mad doctor's words, "So I want to rob someone with King Yan Luo, if you have the real ability, you can use it. Save Jin Jiuye, no matter what request you ask, I will agree."

When the mad doctor heard this, he suddenly stopped laughing, remained silent for a moment, and then said: "I have always heard about the legendary deeds of Mr. Yingwei, and I only know that he is a god, and I have always wanted to see his demeanor with my own eyes."

In the warm military tent, Jin Jiuye lay quietly on the couch, his body was covered with medicine and gauze, and many of them were soaked in blood.His face was not as pale as when he just came back, but was reddened by the heat. As soon as the crazy doctor saw the patient, all the laughter on his face was put away, and he first touched Jin Jiuye's forehead with his hand , and then asked: "How long has it been burning?"

He Jue said: "It started burning yesterday morning, and many methods have been used but it has not cured."

The crazy doctor said: "He has too many wounds on his body. He needs to be cleaned and stitched to heal as soon as possible. He has to use antipyretics all the time. Unfortunately, herbal medicines are too mild. If there are strong medicines that can control it, Lord Yingwei can still be saved."

He Jue finally heard Hope, and quickly asked, "What medicine?"

The crazy doctor shook his head, and said helplessly: "The little one has been looking for it, but I haven't found it for several years. Please rest assured, your majesty, my suture skills are not only superb, but also the best in the world. Every time I treat a patient , there is at least a [-]% chance of recovery, and the remaining [-]% is due to the fever period."

"Master Yingwei has practiced martial arts all year round, and his physical fitness is excellent. Now that he is in winter, it is also good for treating trauma."

He Jue had also heard about the use of sutures to treat trauma, and seeing the mad doctor's focused expression, as if he had a plan in mind, he removed the last trace of doubt in his heart, chose to trust him, and prepared everything he needed.

The lunatic doctor has been busy for seven or eight hours. When everything is done, the medicine is given, bandaged, and then he leaves the military tent. The sky outside has turned pale, and the whole night has passed.

He Jue didn't close his eyes all night again. Fortunately, the crazy doctor brought good news, so he was not as impatient as he was a few days ago. He felt faintly in his heart that Jin Jiuye would definitely survive.

Sure enough, the next day, Jin Jiuye's fever tended to slow down, which was a great thing for He Jue.But the mad doctor didn't let up, and as expected, he burned again and again at night, and He Jue's heart was suspended, and he lost a lot of weight in just a few days.

The crazy doctor insisted on giving Jin Jiuye medicine, and used some medicines that ordinary people don't know. He Jue completely believed in him, and cleaned and changed Jin Jiuye's wound every day to avoid infection.After a few more days, Jin Jiuye finally stabilized.

The crazy doctor breathed a sigh of relief, and said to He Jue: "Your Majesty, if there are no major accidents, I will wait for Lord Yingwei to wake up. It's just that the fever has lasted for so long. I don't know if it will hurt Lord Yingwei. The mind has been affected, and everything has to wait for people to wake up."

He Jue nodded and said gratefully: "Sir, there is no way to repay my kindness and virtue for saving my wife. If you have any requests, please ask, as long as I can do it."

The lunatic doctor was surprised that His Majesty mentioned the word my wife, but it just flashed in his mind, but he really had a wish, so he took the opportunity to mention it: "The little one is misunderstood by the world, and others call me a lunatic. If it is not true, there is no cure. He will never come to me for medical consultation. So I thought, if His Majesty has witnessed my medical skills this time, can I justify my name? So that I can use my medical skills to benefit the people, and I will spend my whole life studying it. The proceeds are passed on.”

"It's not difficult. This time you come back to Xijing with me, I will give you the title of national doctor, and arrange manpower, money and venues so that you can continue to study your medical skills." He Jue made a decision immediately.

The crazy doctor quickly knelt down to thank him, and He Jue smiled and helped him up, "I am also thinking of the people of the world. They don't believe in the cure of disembowelling, so they lose many opportunities to continue to live. I also hope that Mr. , especially those medicines that can reduce fever, so that more people can be treated.”

The mad doctor kowtowed again, and repeatedly shouted: "Your Majesty is really a wise king!"

After the last snowstorm in Yushiguan's cold winter, Jin Jiuye opened his eyes from his lethargy, and saw He Jue. He Jue was concentrating on changing his medicine. His movements were skillful and gentle, and every medicine was handled accurately It's just right, I don't want to do such a thing less often.

Jin Jiuye looked at it for a while, and felt that the master's brows were quiet and gentle, like a person in a painting.

He didn't remember where he had seen such a painting. He collected countless memories in his mind, and thought of a famous painting he had seen in his early years when he was on a mission. It seemed to be made by a famous painter and calligrapher in the south of the Yangtze River - the picture of a good wife serving medicine?

"Are you awake?" He Jue noticed Jin Jiuye's gaze, with a delighted smile on his face.

Jin Jiuye was dazzled by such a smile, he looked away, hummed, but found that his throat was hoarse and the root of his tongue was also bitter.It's hard to imagine how many drugs he was subconsciously drugged in the past.

"It's hard to talk just after waking up, I'm going to pour some hot water for you to drink." He Jue left quickly, and soon came back with a bowl of hot water in his hand. He tasted the temperature himself and found that it was just right. He used a pillow to prop up Jin Jiuye's upper body, and at the same time told him, "You haven't removed the stitches yet, and Mr. Crazy Doctor said it will take ten to fifteen days, so don't move around, in case the wound collapses." , will be punished again.”

Jin Jiuye had doubts in his heart and wanted to speak, but He Jue handed a spoonful of hot water to his lips. He slowly lowered his head to reach for it, and swallowed it bit by bit.After drinking a spoonful or two like this, he said: "Master, where is this?"

"Yushiguan camp." He Jue fed him water again, "I ordered people to cook millet porridge with minced meat, and I will feed you after the stew is sticky and sticky. I will bear with my hunger right now."

"The subordinates don't feel hungry." Jin Jiuye said.

He Jue said proudly: "That's natural. I just fed you a bowl of bone soup two hours ago. Although I didn't eat much, it can still fill my stomach."

Thinking of bone soup, Jin Jiuye seemed to feel hungry again. Seeing that he had stopped drinking water, He Jue put down the bowl, reached out and squeezed his wrist, "Look, there is no trace of meat left."

Jin Jiuye felt dizzy, and his whole body was sore and sore from lying down. He wanted to get up and walk, but he felt that he had no strength in his body, and it was hard to even move, so he said, "Sleep for a while, subordinate."

"Well, good, you go to sleep, I will watch over you." He Jue said softly, "The porridge will be ready later, I will wake you up."

But Jin Jiuye closed his eyes and didn't feel sleepy for a long time, so he had to open them again, and it happened to meet He Jue's eyes. .

"Why aren't you sleeping?" He Jue asked.

Jin Jiuye replied: "I can't sleep."

"Can't sleep, so talk?" He Jue stretched out his hand, pinched his face, and then pinched his shoulders and arms, "Is it sore? It happens after lying down for a long time. I will rub it for you."

"You've been in a daze for the past few days, and occasionally babbled. I listened closely, but I couldn't make out what you were talking about. Are you having a nightmare?" Yes, these practitioners of medicine have experience and know what symptoms Jin Jiuye will have when he wakes up. He Jue practiced with Qi Lezhi a lot of times, pinching people until they screamed, and then they practiced such a comfortable technique.

"This subordinate can't remember." Jin Jiuye shook his head.

"There were two or three times when I thought you were going to wake up and could talk to me, but in the end I just rolled my eyelids and fell asleep again." He Jue mentioned with a faint smile, "Do you still remember that I was sleeping with you?" Did you say anything in your ear while you were there?"

He had been surprised and disappointed many times, so when Jin Jiuye really woke up, he was much calmer.

Jin Jiuye tried his best to think back, and it seemed that someone was whispering in his ears, but he couldn't hear what he was saying, so he could only shake his head, "I don't remember it, is it important?"

"It's not important." There was always a faint smile on the corner of He Jue's mouth, "If you want to hear it, I'll just tell you from time to time in the future. When you eat and gain the strength to stand up and walk, I will help you I want you to go out to get some fresh air. Spring is here, and the weeds in Yushi Pass are also turning green."

Jin Jiuye didn't speak, He Jue quietly helped him press for a while, then remembered something, and suddenly laughed, even a little happily.

"If you really want to know what I said, it's not impossible for me to say it again now."

Jin Jiuye subconsciously had a premonition that the master's smile was very meaningful, and he couldn't admit it.

So he changed the subject, "Master, have you found Mr. Qi?"

He Jue restrained his smile, and there was a little resentment in his eyes, "Brother Ye is going to find Qi Lezhi as soon as he wakes up? Why don't you ask me what's wrong?"

Jin Jiuye suddenly remembered that his master blocked him that day, and the knife stabbed his body. He didn't know what happened to the wound, so he immediately asked with concern: "Master's injury?"

He Jue cut his throat, "You have to ask me to ask, so you pretend to care?"

Jin Jiuye: "..."

It feels like the master is speaking in a weird way, but no matter what, it's all his fault.

He quickly admitted his mistake: "This subordinate is guilty."

He Jue was even angrier seeing him like this, but he was angry, this man was still sick, his face was terribly sallow, and he couldn't do anything about him, if there was something wrong, he would be the one who felt sorry for him in the end.

So I could only hold back my breath, "Forget it, you don't know if you know the crime. It's another story. Qi Lezhi found it, and that Miss Bai from the Yang family is now seven or eight months pregnant. Waiting for Yushi Guan is not an option."

"That's the child of the Seventeenth Prince of Northern Qi." Jin Jiuye said, "The Seventeenth Prince lingers in Northern Qi and can't get away. I'm afraid she doesn't want to go back to Xijing."

"With such a big belly, I don't dare to make people tired. If I give birth on the road, it will be too inconvenient and I will suffer." He Jue understands that a woman's childbirth is a step into the gate of hell, and it is best not to walk around, but here There happened to be a mad doctor with excellent medical skills, and if something bad happened, he could be treated in time.

"Now that the Seventeenth Prince has returned to Northern Qi and joined hands with Prince Lang Yao, Lezhi and you have severely injured the Wolf Smoke Cavalry. I think they won't mess around for a while." He Jue said lightly, "Gaoshanying that day After being caught alive, I interrogated him and found that Lang Qing was using secret medicine to reduce pain or even make people lose pain, in order to improve combat effectiveness."

Jin Jiuye recalled the situation that day, "Yes, the subordinates also felt it, unless they were killed with a knife, they will continue to pester them."

"Such evil techniques cannot survive in the world." He Jue's expression was serious, but Jin Jiuye did not speak.

"However, the crazy doctor is very interested in the secret medicine. He thinks it can be used in sutures to relieve the pain of patients during treatment." He Jue was talking, when Gao Shanying came in with a food box, which contained a small pot For the hot millet porridge, he bowed to He Jue and Jin Jiuye each, He Jue waved him away, and he reluctantly looked at Jin Jiuye a few more times.

Seeing the puzzled look on the man's face, He Jue smiled and said, "He was also there when the wolf smoke knight was interrogated, and he heard your legendary deeds with his own ears. The Wolf Smoke Riders have been chasing you for several days but to no avail. How can you pass through the territory of Northern Qi unimpeded? I took half a step forward and confronted you all day and night..."

"Come on, open your mouth." He Jue scooped up a spoonful of meat porridge and blew on it for a long time before sending it to Jin Jiuye's mouth when it was warm enough, "The captured wolf smoke rider was originally a tall and mighty Man, when I heard your name and heard that you were not dead, I was so scared that I almost peed my pants. I was so stubborn, but I was threatened by Qi Lezhi a few times with your name, so I said everything. Including the secret medicine of the Nine Princesses."

"That's why, now Gao Shanying regards you as a god, and after listening to the bragging of your gang of brats, he wished he could get rid of the control of the Jingji Guard immediately and become a soldier in the Xuanyi Division." He Jue used big Thumb wiped the corner of the man's mouth, "It's just that Lin Jiyuan is not well. He still can't walk, and his feet are not in shape."

Jin Jiuye thought of Lin Jiyuan, and in his impression he looked stunned, related to Dali Temple Qinglin's family, and the cousin of Habayashi Wei Linchi.

"Swallow slowly, you are hurt, and you look like a little fool." He Jue looked at Jin Jiuye eating, "Is it really that delicious? I will try it too."

So he took a sip from the edge of the bowl, and Jin Jiuye stared at He Jue's hand for a moment, seeing his master took another big gulp, his Adam's apple moved, and he swallowed.

"Master, go get another bowl and scoop out the hot pot. This one is cold, so don't eat it."

He Jue nodded, "That's true, then I'll add some more."

He was about to leave with the bowl in his hand, Jin Jiuye watched eagerly, and suddenly coughed twice, He Jue sat back and helped someone to press the quilt, "What's wrong? The wind is blowing at the door, blowing you?"

Jin Jiuye shook his head, reached out to take the bowl in He Jue's hand, but hesitated a little.

He Jue suddenly understood something, and looked at Jin Jiuye in disbelief.

Jin Jiuye said softly: "This subordinate has strength in his hands now, so let's carry the bowl and eat by himself."

He Jue: "..."

After a long silence, He Jue spoke with difficulty: "I'm not greedy, so I'll help you taste it. Come on, I'll feed you, and I won't take another bite, okay?"

Jin Jiuye lowered his eyes, and his face was a little hot. He wanted to say that he really didn't want to eat it in one bite, but he just wanted to let the master have a warm bite, so he didn't have to share a bowl with him.

But when I said this, it seemed that there was a little bit of concealment.

Well, he admitted it, he just wanted to eat it in one bite.
