"Ten thousand elite soldiers are so useless that they should be put to death for their failure under Wu Ren's command!"

In the main hall of the Nan Province Governor's Mansion, Zhou Shouxian roared with anger, almost overturning the roof. The teacup shattered on the ground, making Wu Ren, who led the elite soldiers to assist in the attack, a drag that led to failure in the assassination! It was not just the failure to kill Shang Chaozong, but also, as he said, his ten thousand elite soldiers were so useless, how could people look at them?

The angry roar was just a release. After sitting back in his chair, he slowly closed his eyes and fell into silence...

In Guangyi County, Feng Lingbo was outraged when he received the news. The situation was clear, and everyone was not a fool. The wolf bandits? It was guessed that it was done by the Nan Province soldiers, whether it was the wolf lord bandit or not, Feng Lingbo counted this account to the court anyway.

The Guangyi County soldiers deployed an offensive posture, and immediately, guests from the Nan Province Governor's Mansion appeared at the door of the prefect's mansion, looking for Feng Lingbo to negotiate. They promised some benefits to appease each other, and both sides did not want to make things worse. The situation that seemed to be getting big was quickly calmed down...

In the capital, at the Song Mansion, in a small and elegant courtyard, Song Jiuming was silent by the pool.

The steward Liu Lu came quickly and reported: "After the third young master learned the news, he was very angry and is throwing a tantrum."

Song Jiuming frowned slightly and could understand his son's feelings. Shangqing Sect spread the news widely in the cultivation world and listed Song Shu's various crimes, announced his expulsion from the sect, and put a big hat on Song Shu's head, accusing him of dishonoring his teacher and destroying his ancestors. This hat was too heavy to bear, even for ordinary people. Who would believe that Shangqing Sect would take the initiative to find trouble with the Song family?

No one expected that Shangqing Sect would dare to tear its face with the Song family, and when another sect sent to Shangqing Sect arrived, they found that Shangqing Sect was already gone. Song Jiuming said slowly, "Is there still no news from Shangqing Sect?"

Liu Lu replied: "They left abruptly and we don't know where they went. We are still investigating!"

Song Jiuming stood with his hands behind his back and frowned. Recently, he had sensed that many things had suddenly changed, beyond his control. Shangqing Sect had shaken off the Song family's control, and Shang Chaozong had also shaken off the court's control. The assassination in the Nan Province had also failed...

With the drag of the infantry, the speed of the cavalry could not be fast, and the distance that could be covered in one or two days took several days.

After a few days on the road, Feng Ruonan noticed something unusual. They were all riding horses, and they had seized a large number of war horses from the enemy's ambush. The wounded on their side did not dare to move much after a few days, fearing that they might reopen the wound. However, the wounded on Shang Chaozong's side could climb up and down on the war horses by themselves, and some could even limp around by themselves.

The wounded on Shang Chaozong's side recovered much faster than those on their side. Feng Ruonan naturally knew what it meant for the wounded on the battlefield to recover early. It could not only reduce the logistical burden but also quickly restore a batch of soldiers. This was not a small matter for the battle!

The wounded guards on Shang Chaozong's side saw that they were recovering quickly, and found that there was an advantage to having stitches. Their fear of stitches disappeared. The faster recovery of their injuries to some extent eased their worries, and everyone was happier.

Soldiers who had fought on the battlefield respected those who could save their lives. When they saw Yuan Gang and the monks from the Southern Mountain Temple, they were very respectful.

"Master, these are a few bird eggs that the brothers just dug out of a bird's nest in the woods. They have been cooked."

When they set up camp at night, a wounded soldier who had received treatment from Yuan Fang came over and stuffed several green-shelled bird eggs, about the size of a chicken egg, into Yuan Fang's hands. Yuan Fang could not refuse, and the guy just gave him the eggs and left.

Being grateful for the help of the monks of the Southern Mountain Temple was one thing, and feeling respected was another. Yuan Fang also heard that they would need the monks to remove their sutures later. Everyone was a bit afraid of the unknown. It was not excessive to say that they were trying to curry favor in advance to let them go easy on them.

The bird eggs they received were obviously just cooked. They were still hot to the touch when held in the hand. Yuan Fang said, "Amitabha, I am guilty, guilty!"

Eating bird eggs was also killing, and Yuan Fang could not eat them. He gave the eggs to the monks to give to the wounded.

The monks smiled and took the eggs and left.

Yuan Fang also smiled. Recently, he and the other monks clearly felt that everyone respected them. When there was good food, the first thing people thought of was them. The things to eat and use were all picked out and sent to their hands first.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

This feeling of being respected was really good. The group of monks found that it was not bad to follow these people, and Yuan Fang also felt that the Buddha's teachings were correct. He began to talk to the monks about doing good and helping others.

Sitting by the campfire, Shang Chaozong looked around and saw that everyone was in good spirits, showing a rare smile in the past few days. "It seems that Qing'er has a good eye. It looks like Master Dao's healing techniques are indeed effective."

Shang Shuqing smiled.

Blue Ruoting nodded in agreement. He knew the wounded situation on the battlefield. For example, if someone had a deep cut on their leg, it would take at least half a month or a month to recover under normal circumstances. Who would dare to walk on it? But in just a few days, those injuries had already healed? He pondered, "The monks also learned on the fly. It seems that this healing technique is not difficult to learn. If Master Dao is willing to teach us, it will be of great benefit to our future battlefield medical treatment."

Shang Chaozong fell silent. He was afraid that the other party learned it from a heritage and would not teach it easily. He couldn't help but say to Shang Shuqing, "Qing'er, would you try to find an opportunity to test Master Dao's attitude?"

"Okay!" Shang Shuqing nodded.

As they were talking, there was a commotion on their side, and Feng Ruonan came over with her men. It was unclear what she wanted, but she stood beside one of the guards.

Shang Chaozong and his men immediately got up and walked over to see what was going on.

"Your Highness!" The guard standing up in front of the campfire saluted.

Feng Ruonan circled around him twice before suddenly saying, "Take off your pants."

"Uh..." The guard was stunned and looked towards Shang Chaozong who had just arrived.

Upon hearing this, Shang Chaozong's expression darkened. After all, Feng Ruonan was already his woman, and saying these words made him feel embarrassed.

But Feng Ruonan's next sentence put everyone at ease, "To see the wound on your leg."

Even so, Shang Shuqing was still somewhat speechless. This woman was too fierce. Even if there was a reason, how could a woman say in public that a man should take off his pants? Couldn't she explain the situation privately?

In the end, the guard still took off his pants, revealing the stitched-up wound on his leg.

After confirming the wound, Feng Ruonan signaled Shang Chaozong and the others to come aside and said expressionlessly, "Your wounded soldiers on this side are recovering well."

Shang Chaozong said calmly, "It's thanks to Master Dao's extraordinary skills."

Feng Ruonan said, "Since we are all one family, it's not fair to treat one side better than the other. You should ask him to help treat the wounded soldiers on our side as well."

It turned out to be about this matter. Blue Ruoting looked a bit strange. It wasn't easy to make this woman say words like "one family" to the prince. But it was understandable. As a commanding general, it was impossible to ignore the injuries of one's subordinates when there was a solution. In a way, it was bowing down to the prince.

Shang Chaozong pondered for a moment and said, "It still depends on whether Master Dao is willing or not."

Feng Ruonan had already anticipated this. She understood that Shang Chaozong's influence on Niu You Dao was not great, as she had seen on the battlefield that Niu You Dao was not very close to Shang Chaozong. But her relationship with Niu You Dao was a bit strained, so it was not appropriate to directly ask Niu You Dao for help. Asking Shang Chaozong was like finding a mediator to help her.

Shang Chaozong didn't think too much about it and did not refuse. He led her to meet Niu You Dao.

Niu You Dao was meditating in his tent, and a group of people had not yet approached when Yuan Gang suddenly appeared and stopped them.

Yuan Fang also appeared, a bit unsure and standing beside Yuan Gang like the two generals, humphing and ha-ing.

Yuan Gang had been instructed to protect Master Dao's safety and took responsibility for it. If something happened to Master Dao, no one could escape blame.

Yuan Fang also knew that he still needed Niu You Dao's protection at the moment, so whether he was willing or not, he could only do as he was told.

The monks from Nanshan Temple also gradually emerged and stared over here. These people had gradually formed a small group centered around Niu You Dao without realizing it. Under Niu You Dao's subtle manipulation, these people were not bound by Shang Chaozong and Feng Ruonan and gathered around Niu You Dao.

Feng Ruonan felt a bit itchy seeing Yuan Fang, but she had things to do and suppressed her anger.

After a short conversation outside the tent, Niu You Dao's voice came from inside the tent, "Let them in."

The obstruction outside the tent was lifted, and the group slowly squeezed into the tent. Niu You Dao, who was sitting cross-legged inside, stood up and bowed in greeting.

Shang Chaozong explained Feng Ruonan's purpose, but Niu You Dao noticed Blue Ruoting's subtle eye gesture and shook his head slightly, apparently indicating that he should not agree.

Shang Shuqing was an observant person and noticed Blue Ruoting's reaction.

After hearing the purpose, Niu You Dao sighed and said, "It's a bit late to sew the wound now."

Feng Ruonan's face tightened and she said, "If I did something wrong before, it was all my fault. Master Dao, please don't take it to heart. I apologize to you here. I hope Master Dao can forgive and forget the past. I promise to let the past go and not to bother you again in the future."

Niu You Dao scratched his nose and knew that this woman had misunderstood. He smiled bitterly and said, "Princess, you may have misunderstood. If the wound had been sewn up in time, it would have been fine. After these few days, the wound has begun to heal on its own. It's really not appropriate to sew it up now."

Feng Ruonan begged repeatedly, but the result was the same. In the end, she snorted and walked away.

Niu You Dao was helpless. He estimated that his image as a villain had already taken root in this woman's heart, and she had misunderstood him.

As everyone left, only the smiling Blue Ruoting was left. Niu You Dao approached her and asked, "What did Chief Blue mean by asking me not to agree?"

Blue Ruoting looked sneaky and whispered in his ear, "The princess still refuses to share a room with the prince. I agree with Master Dao's idea of turning Feng Lingbo's men into the prince's men. The princess is a commanding general and cannot bear to see her subordinates suffer. If Master Dao can use his medical skills to bring the princess and the prince together, it would be a beautiful thing. After all, they are already husband and wife with the status to match. For the princess, it is not an unacceptable thing."

Niu You Dao suddenly realized. Why was she trying to sound so noble? Wasn't it just using medical treatment as a means to threaten Feng Ruonan and Shang Chaozong to sleep together? He found this guy really sneaky and stared at him, saying, "Chief Blue, I'm not as cunning as you. It's not that I don't agree. Everything I said is true. It really isn't appropriate to sew up the wound now!"
