Chapter 126 The nagging old father
This matter soon reached the ears of General Shen. When Gu Changfeng and Shen Mingjue returned, General Shen came over anxiously, took the two men to the nearest place without saying a word, and begged the military doctor to treat them.
General Shen said: "Stop talking for now, I have heard about the incident. Let the military doctor take a look first to see if there are any injuries.
I know the Hu people. The poison they use is very strange, sometimes it can even stay dormant for two or three days. You have been in contact with so many corpses, what if something got on them, and you happen to have wounds on your body...
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the more frightened I feel. Let the military doctor take a look at you first. Even if there's nothing wrong, it would be good to prescribe some tranquilizers. It's the first time for you two to go to a place like that, you must be scared."
Shen Mingjue also knew that there was a living person among the corpses and he almost assassinated the prince. He lost his composure a little but held back. Now that he was brought to the military doctor by General Shen, he began to feel scared.
The military doctor carefully examined the corpse many times, and then ordered the soldiers who were handling the corpse to wipe the body with salt water before reporting to General Shen.
"In the past, there were indeed Hu people who deliberately smeared poison on their bodies with the intention of poisoning our soldiers and causing them to die. Fortunately, that didn't happen this time." The military doctor looked tired and gave the prescription to the medicine boy beside him.
"I prescribed these two medicines for the prince and the general respectively. Take them once a day for seven days. They have the effect of calming the mind and removing impurities."
Gu Changfeng's heart finally settled down: "That's good. Thank you, military doctor."
"You are too polite, my lord. If there is nothing else, I will withdraw first. Although we have won this battle, there are still many injured soldiers who have not been treated in time."
General Shen waved his hand and took the two of them to the meeting tent.
Deputy General Xue had been waiting inside early. When he saw them coming, he said solemnly, "Although we narrowly won this time, we are not always as lucky as we are today. You two can't stay in the back office all the time, and you must not act rashly like you did today."
"You will train with my son for the next few days, starting with the basics. In the morning, practice some boxing and kicking skills. In the afternoon, let him teach you what you should pay attention to when handling corpses, as well as the most basic knowledge of military law."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Zhong walked in.
"Please rest assured, father. I will definitely guide the prince and the major general well." He has lived in the army for many years at a young age, so naturally he knows more than these two outsiders.
"When you have learned enough, I will invite a real master for you. A real master will recommend you which weapons are most suitable for you. Then you can follow us into the battlefield."
Shen Mingjue asked gratefully: "Excuse me, Deputy General, how long will this process take?"
Xue Zhong said first: "Brother, don't worry. For a smart person like you, it will only take about a year. Ordinary people will have to persist for at least a year and a half." He smiled and his eyes couldn't help but glance at Gu Changfeng.
Gu Changfeng: Does that mean people like me are just ordinary, unintelligent people?
Lieutenant General Xue and General Shen were both careless people and did not realize that there was another meaning in the words of this teenage boy.
Before Gu Changfeng could get angry, General Shen continued, "It's not that I don't want you to go to the battlefield, but if you don't have the ability to protect yourself, even if you can save your life, you will inevitably get hurt. Don't tell me anything, the soldiers here have experienced many injuries. After all, you are different from them. Not only is one of you a royal relative, but the other is my biological son."
"For example, my prince, the reason you followed me to this frontier this time is nothing more than to recapture the three cities and repel the Hu people. It is to protect the peace of our Great Qi. Although the emperor recognizes you as the leader of the army, he mainly wants you to inspire the morale of the soldiers. If you are injured, the morale of the soldiers will also be damaged, which is not good for the battle situation."
"Also, Juer, originally your brother should have followed me on this expedition. Although I didn't mention your name to the emperor, he also knew that it was wrong for me to bring you along this time. The emperor was generous and didn't hold it against me. Now that you and I are here, you must make some contributions. If the news of your injury spreads to the capital, the emperor will punish me for bringing you to the border as a major general, and it will be even more troublesome."
"I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts. If it weren't for these two relationships, I would have sent you to the battlefield today, letting you escape from the hands of death, so that you can experience the difficulties of the frontier soldiers." General Shen said with a solemn expression and earnest words.
"Okay, brother, stop talking." Deputy General Xue walked between Shen Mingjue and Gu Changfeng, patted their shoulders, and said with a smile: "We won this battle. You two go back and pack up. We have a celebration banquet tonight, but you can't drink too much. The people in the city will come to celebrate for us tomorrow morning, and you are not allowed to be late."
