Time Travel: The Foolish Lady is Forced to Become a Female General

The sky gradually darkened, and the guards took turns on guard. According to the time calculation, if there were no more accidents, they could set out again early tomorrow morning.

Late at night in the capital, a black carriage slowly stopped outside the Su residence, and a white-haired old man stepped out of the carriage.

The old man was dressed in black with strange golden patterns embroidered on it, and his long white beard made him look like an immortal.

He looked up to make sure he was in the right place, then the little boy next to him walked forward and knocked on the doorknob a few times.

After a while, the door creaked open. A servant looked at the old man and the young boy at the door and asked suspiciously, "This is General Su's residence. Who are you looking for?"

The old man smiled very politely and said, "Please tell General Su that Zhang Zhongjing from Yaowang Valley is here to visit."

"Medicine King Valley? Wait a moment, old man."

As soon as the servant finished reporting, hurried footsteps were heard in the courtyard. Su Wu came up to the old man with a look of disbelief on his face: "Are you Mr. Zhang, the head of Medicine King Valley?"

Zhang Zhongjing bowed and said, "Greetings to General Su. I am here to treat the patient at your request."

When Su Wu heard this, he led the way himself and said excitedly, "Mr. Zhang wants to see you. Hurry up, housekeeper Wu, go prepare some refreshments. Mr. Zhang must be tired from the long journey."

Mr. Zhang followed Su Wu into the Su Mansion and said slowly, "General Su, there's no need to go to such trouble. Just take me to your son's room."

When Su Wu heard this, he knew that Zhang Zhongjing had already known the situation in advance, so he stopped being polite and directly took Zhang Zhongjing to the room of his eldest son Su Yuncheng.

"Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Zhang to treat you. Yun Cheng, this is Mr. Zhang from Medicine King Valley."

"Mr. Zhang..." Su Yuncheng wanted to say something, but his skinny body was unable to move. Zhang Zhongjing waved his hand to signal him not to speak.

Zhang Zhongjing came to Su Yuncheng's bed, lifted the quilt, observed him carefully, and looked into his eyes. After taking his pulse carefully, he said to Su Wu, "General Su, please arrange for two people to help Mr. Su up, take off his shirt, and sit him on the bed."

The two servants hurriedly did as they were told. As Su Yuncheng's body was out of control, they could only hold on to him and keep him sitting.

"It's pretty much as expected. Xiaotian, get the marrow cleansing pills and silver needles."

Hearing Zhang Zhongjing's instructions, the little boy beside him quickly took out a purple jade bottle and a silver box from his bag.

After feeding Su Yuncheng a pill, Zhang Zhongjing successively inserted 24 silver needles into his head, neck and back, and then patted his chest with his palm.

Su Wu stood there staring at his son motionlessly, his whole body shaking with nervousness from time to time.

"Puff!" After an incense stick of time, Su Yuncheng spat out a mouthful of black blood. The little boy was prepared and quickly caught it in a white container. There seemed to be something wriggling in the black blood.

Zhang Zhongjing looked carefully at the spitted black blood, and quickly inserted eight silver needles into the soles of Su Yuncheng's feet.

Afterwards, within an hour, Su Yuncheng continued to spit out black blood, but the color was getting closer and closer to normal blood red, and the foreign objects in it did not appear again.

"Put away the needles." Following Zhang Zhongjing's order, the little boy deftly took back the silver needles one by one and put them into another box.

"Mr. Su, are there any changes in your body?" Zhang Zhongjing asked softly.

Su Yuncheng's originally pale and dry face now had some color, and his fingers and toes could move slightly.

Now his sagging facial muscles were not enough to support him in expressing joy, but a faint light began to flicker in his eyes.

Su Wu's lips trembled with excitement. Just as he was about to thank him, Zhang Zhongjing waved his hand again: "It's still early! Xiaotian, get the moxibustion medicine, and let Master Fusu lie down. Put his hands and feet in place."

Xiaotian didn't say anything, but just did as he was told. He took out four pieces of white cloth and gently placed Su Yuncheng's hands and feet on them.

Afterwards, Zhang Zhongjing picked up four black medicinal sticks that looked like mugwort, lit them, and he and Xiaotian each held two of them and placed them on Su Yuncheng's palms and soles.

Sometimes it was smoked and sometimes it was burned. From Su Yuncheng's eyes, it could be seen that he felt some pain from time to time.

After a while, the palms and soles of Su Yuncheng's feet turned blue-black. Zhang Zhongjing quickly took out a sharp knife from his sleeve and quickly cut small cuts on Su Yuncheng's palms and soles.

Fortunately, Su Yuncheng's perception was not obvious, his sense of pain was not sensitive, and his hands and feet were just shaking slightly.

Thick black liquid flowed out from the palms of his hands and feet. After it had all flowed out, Xiaotian wiped and disinfected the wounds on Su Yuncheng's hands and feet.

"Mr. Su, how do you feel now?"

Su Yuncheng tried it out, and now his limbs could move slightly. He said excitedly, "Mr. Zhang, my consciousness has fully recovered!"

Unconsciously, Su Yuncheng's voice became much louder.

Zhang Zhongjing heaved a sigh of relief, put a medicine bottle on the table and said, "From now on, take one pill at 15:00 every day, and you will be cured in a month."

Su Yuncheng couldn't move freely at this moment, so Su Wu knelt down with a plop: "Mr. Zhang, you have been so kind and virtuous, I have no way to repay you, no matter what conditions you have, just ask!"

Zhang Zhongjing looked at Su Wu and said, "General Su, please stand up. I was entrusted by someone and I have already received the reward. Master Su will not have any root cause of the disease after he recovers, but he has been poisoned for nearly ten years. I am afraid it will take a year or so for him to recover."

Su Wu was helped up by his servants. After hearing what Zhang Zhongjing said, he asked, "Poisoned? Mr. Zhang, do you know what poison my son has? Is it poison from the Jianghu sect?"

Zhang Zhongjing sighed, "This is a strange poison. The source of the poison is easy to find, but the person who poisoned it is probably only General Su. Be more careful in the future. General Su, the poison has been eliminated, and it is time for me to take my leave."

Su Wu, who was helped up by the servant, said quickly, "It is already midnight, Mr. Zhang, you should rest for a night before leaving!"

"General Su, here is a letter that someone asked me to bring to the Su Mansion. I'll say goodbye now!"

When Su Wu heard Zhang Zhongjing say this, he personally escorted him to the carriage and thanked him again: "Mr. Zhang, although I was entrusted by someone, you did save my son. If there is any need for me in the future, please let me know."

Zhang Zhongjing said nothing more, clasped his fists politely, and the carriage sped away.

After returning to Su Yuncheng's room, Su Wu opened the letter. After reading it, both father and son burst into tears of joy and even woke up their wife who was already fast asleep.

That night, the Su Mansion, which had been lifeless for nearly ten years, was decorated with lights and brightly lit everywhere, and the entire mansion was filled with laughter.

Before dawn the next day, the Imperial Guards had already requisitioned carriages from the nearest post station. In order to avoid any further complications, Mu Lie and his party immediately continued on their journey to Yancheng.

Fortunately, they did not encounter any danger along the way. Ten days later, they arrived at Yancheng smoothly. After Mu Lie took out the imperial edict, Yancheng prefect Zhu Xu took him to the military camp thirty miles away.

Xia Qin and Xiaoyu did not get out of the carriage and were guarded by Huo Jinying and others.

After inspecting the camp, Mu Lie asked Shi Qing, the commander of the Yancheng Army, in confusion: "General Shi, there are 30,000 soldiers in the Yancheng Army?"
