Chapter 542: Why Are You Afraid If I Am Not?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Wei Dynasty won an overwhelming victory against the Rong Dynasty.
The Dynasty Duke won in the first battle, significantly boosting the soldiers’ morale.
However, the Wei Dynasty also suffered tremendous casualties.
Zhao Chuchu was busy non-stop in the medical tent.
At first, the military doctors did not believe she was proficient in medicine.
That was until they witnessed her saving the life of a lieutenant general that they had declared a lost cause right before their very eyes. Only then did they know that although Zhao Chuchu was young, her medical skill was far superior to theirs!
They also changed how they addressed Zhao Chuchu from Mrs. Xie to Military Doctor Zhao.
Mrs. Xie meant that Zhao Chuchu was merely Xie Hengs wife and that her glory was due to her husband. It was different when she was referred to as Military Doctor Zhao. Zhao Chuchu was no longer treated as Xie Heng’s subordinate but as an independent existence.
This was the soldiers’ first time dealing with a female military doctor. They were bashful and embarrassed, unwilling to show Zhao Chuchu where they were injured.
The first reason for their reluctance was that Zhao Chuchu was already married, which would affect her reputation. The second was because they were all male, and they felt that it was embarrassing to be seen by a woman in such a manner.
“Do you want to live, or do you wish to preserve your honor? Why are you afraid when my husband has said nothing? Are you afraid that I will eat you all up? If you wish never to have children, just pretend I didn’t say anything!’
Her words were too bold. This caused all the military doctors and patients in the medical tent to focus on her.
The person who was injured turned beet red. Zhao Chuchu looked at him with
a small, strange knife in her hands. She asked, “Do you wish never to have children?”
The man gritted his teeth and hardened his heart as he said, “Since you are not afraid, I won’t be afraid too. I will find courage. Military Doctor Zhao, please do your thing!’
As he finished saying this, he tore off a piece of cloth and covered his eyes. As long as he was not embarrassed, everyone else would be the ones who were embarrassed.
There were too many injured people Except for the start of the commotion, no one else paid attention to what happened here after.
The alcohol that Zhao Chuchu had brought was put to good use in Tianlang Checkpoint.
In the past, even if many people survived the battlefield, they would still die due to their wounds not being thoroughly sterilized and getting infected.
Aside from alcohol, Zhao Chuchu also cultivated penicillin. Due to lacking syringes, Zhao Chuchu could only use unique methods to process the penicillin into anti-inflammatory drugs.
External injuries were the most prevalent type of injury on a battlefield. With anti-inflammatory drugs, the death toll would significantly decrease.
After a few days, the military doctors realized that with Zhao Chuchu around, many people they had deemed beyond saving had been saved.
Zhao Chuchu saw their confusion. She did not hide anything and taught the military doctors how to treat external wounds properly. This significantly increased the chances of survival for the soldiers.
Of course, for those on the brink of dying, Zhao Chuchu had used her healing power to snatch them from the clutches of Death.
Fortunately, her healing power had mainly recovered. She would not easily overdraw it if she used it on ordinary people.
Xie Heng remained at Tianlang Checkpoint.
After the Dynasty Duke achieved total victory with Xie Heng’s plan, he kept Xie Heng by his side as a strategist.
Xie Heng presented miraculous strategies, one after another, allowing the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty to defeat the Rong Dynasty time and time again.
After three months, the Rong Dynastys army had lost two cities.
With Xie Heng’s strategies, the Wei Dynasty seized the initiative of the war.
Qiao Heting, who had only arrived at Tianlang Checkpoint two months ago, had also achieved repeated military exploits.
Within three months, Zhao Chuchu had become a leading figure among the military doctors. All of them subconsciously obeyed her instructions.
Her medical skills were impressive, and she even generously corrected their technique, helping them improve their skills.
If conditions had allowed it, they would have become her disciples.
The Emperor became unhappy as good news poured in from Tianlang Checkpoint. The latter even felt that the Dynasty Duke and Xie Heng were joining forces against him.
While the Emperor became unhappy, the Great Prince also began to panic.
Xie Heng had achieved repeated military exploits, which would be counted under Xie Yan and Xie Jun’s names. Would the Great Prince still have any chance of being crown prince?
The Great Prince was troubled. In the end, he decided to take a gamble..
