Chapter 7 Temptation
Dr. Zheng sighed: "Since the establishment of the Yulin Army, it has fought hard battles every time, but the result is too little and too much. Just like when we fought against the Xianbei last time, we were obviously at the upper hand, and we were about to reach the capital of the Xianbei, the court suddenly issued an order to cease the war and negotiate peace with the Xianbei, and then transferred us to this remote area to suppress the bandits, without any contribution! I guess there will be no great reward this time, otherwise, according to the achievements of the general, we should have been in the court for a long time!"
Xu Yan was stunned, is it so pitiful?
Three days later, the army returned and brought back a group of wounded soldiers. Xu Yan and Dr. Zheng rushed to help. Fortunately, the camp received news in advance and built many tents, which were enough for the wounded soldiers to move in.
Among them, there are many minor injuries, so it will be cured by applying Baibao Dan. Serious injuries are more troublesome and the wound needs to be sutured.
He was busy until the afternoon and finally treated all the injured. Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, washed his hands and took off his mask. He was about to go to the kitchen to cushion his stomach when he saw a soldier coming over and clasped his fists at him and said, "Mr. Xu, General, please invite him!"
In a large tent, Xu Yan met General Zhao Shouting.
Unlike his majestic and deep appearance as he imagined, he was not tall and even a little thin, with a short beard on his chin and a military book in his hand, looking more like a teacher.
"Boy Xu Yan, see the general!"
"No gift! I have heard from Deputy General Peng that a genius doctor disciple came to the camp. Now when I see him, he is indeed a young handsome guy!"
Zhao Shouting looked at him with a smile, his eyes deep and thorough, Xu Yan did not dare to neglect, and bowed: "The General is too rewarded!"
"No need to be polite, come and sit!"
After Xu Yan sat down, Zhao Shouting chatted with him: "I heard General Peng say that your master is Qu Renhuan?"
“That’s right!”
"The Shunyang Qu family is well-known in Hebei, and I have heard of it. It is a real medical family that should be respected, so why did it fall into Shu?"
Xu Yan replied: "My teacher did not tell me in detail, but only said that he was framed, resulting in the destruction of his family and becoming a prisoner. Then he left his hometown and fled to Shu alone!"
"Who is framed?"
"I heard my mentor shout the word 'Feng Zhang' in my dream, it should be the name of my enemy!"
Zhao Shouting nodded: "The way of heaven is fair. If the Qu family really has wronged, they will definitely have a day of grievance!"
Xu Yan didn't believe such comforting words. He always believed that things were done by humans, but seeing that Zhao Shouting was so serious, he didn't say anything.
"Is it a northerner to listen to your accent?"
"The boy doesn't know where he is from!"
Xu Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Six years ago, my teacher saved the boy by a river. At that time, the boy was injured in the head and lost his memory when he woke up. Seeing that the boy was pitiful, my teacher accepted the boy as his disciple and lived in seclusion in the mountains since then. Not long ago, my teacher died of illness and the boy came out from the mountain. You should know everything afterwards!"
"So that's it! You don't have to be sad. Since ancient times, heroes have not been asked about their origins, it is a blessing that you can meet your master. As for those memories of the past, maybe you will slowly remember them in the future and then visit your family!"
Zhao Shouting comforted him and said, "You have made great contributions now. You not only offer the secret recipes passed down by ancestors, but also teach the methods of salt making. I will ask you for merit from the court. You will stay in the camp for the time being and serve as a military doctor, and wait for the effectiveness!"
Xu Yan hurriedly bowed: "Thank you General!"
After walking out of the tent, Xu Yan smiled and looked relaxed. The problem of his identity was finally solved. From now on, he will be a registered person.
Growned so hungry that he walked straight to the kitchen.
When I passed by the camp, I saw two soldiers carrying one person to take a shower. The man should be a soldier who had returned from suppressing the bandits. He was covered in dirty bodies and was scolded by his companions while walking.
This is the power of habit!
Just like when a person is rich and let him go back to live a poor life, he will definitely not be happy. Similarly, clean people are not willing to live with smelly people.
I soon arrived at the kitchen, but found that the fat chef and the top soldiers were all standing outside the door. The kitchen door was closed and noisy sounds came from inside.
"What's wrong?" Xu Yan asked.
The fat chef smiled bitterly, but did not explain, but said, "Brother Xu, you haven't eaten yet. Wait a moment, I will have someone to set up a stove and cook for you!"
"Why do you need a stove? Isn't there it inside?"
"This... the kitchen is occupied now, and it's not very convenient!"
"Who occupied it? Why is it so noisy inside?"
As he spoke, Xu Yan came to the door and reached out to push open the door. A strong smell of alcohol rushed towards him, which made him sneeze several times.
He looked up and stood there in a daze.
I saw a group of people fighting for wine. There were all kinds of meat on the table, as well as wine jars of various sizes. At this time, four people had already drank down. The remaining two were also drunk, one screaming and the other was dancing. The picture was unsightly.
Xu Yan sniffed it and smelled the strong smell of alcohol. He suddenly felt something was wrong. He walked up to him and picked up the jar to check it out. It turned out that the alcohol he distilled was drunk by them as strong liquor.
