I don’t know what Doctor Wu said to the outside world, but in the following period of time, except for a soldier who brought food and water, no one else entered the tent.

There was only a small bed in the tent. Li Xi glanced at Gu Jingzhi who was still unconscious. Forget it, since he was a patient, she would not bother him.

Li Xi lined up the chairs in the tent, covered herself with a blanket, and closed her eyes.

Late at night, Gu Jingzhi frowned and opened his eyes. In front of him was the familiar tent ceiling. Feeling the pain coming from his left chest, Gu Jingzhi lowered his head to look at the location of the wound. The movement of lowering his head pulled the wound, and the pain worsened.

Gu Jingzhi lay down, frowned, and endured the pain, waiting for it to pass, recalling what had happened before.

Gu Jingzhi tilted his head to glance inside the tent, and suddenly his gaze paused when he saw Li Xi lying on the chair.

Gu Jingzhi relaxed his frown and looked at Li Xi. She had gained weight and looked better. It seemed that she had been living a good life these days.

Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Gu Jingzhi did not disturb him. He lay on the couch with a pale face. It would take a hundred days to heal a broken bone, not to mention that he had just undergone a thoracotomy. Even though he was young and had a good recovery ability, he could not escape the suffering.

For example, the surging pain in the wound.

The efficacy of Ma Fei San has disappeared with the passage of time. If an ordinary person had experienced such pain, he would have cried out in pain, but Gu Jingzhi did not make a sound.

It's not that it doesn't hurt. He is sweating profusely at the moment. He glanced at Li Xi. He just didn't want to wake him up.

Although he had been unconscious before, he was still conscious. He could clearly hear the voices of people around him, but he couldn't react, so he knew that it was Li Xi who saved him.

Gu Jingzhi looked at Li Xi's round little face and curled the corners of his mouth. It seemed that they were indeed destined to be together, otherwise she would not have saved him twice in a row.

Gu Jingzhi had just undergone surgery and was already very weak. He fell asleep again not long after waking up.

The next day, the sun rose as usual.

Gu Jingzhi opened his eyes again. It was already daytime. He was confused for a moment, then turned to look towards where Li Xi was sleeping.

But Li Xi was not there, and the chairs were neatly placed in their original positions, as if everything that happened yesterday was just a dream.

Shi Hanshuo, who was standing by, saw the young master wake up and stood up excitedly, "Young master, you're awake!"

Gu Jingzhi wanted to prop himself up, but he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Unable to bear it any longer, he groaned and lay back down.

Shi Hanshuo came to the bedside and looked at him nervously, "Young Master, you have a chest injury. Don't move. Did you pull the wound? I'll go call Li Xi."

He already knew Li Xi's name from Doctor Wu.

It turned out that yesterday was not a dream. Gu Jingzhi did not stop Shi Hanshuo, and Shi Hanshuo rushed out of the tent directly.

Not long after he left, two voices were heard from outside.

"Doctor Li, please hurry up. The young master has severe chest pain." Shi Hanshuo urged anxiously.

Li Xi rolled her eyes speechlessly. How could it not hurt with such a big cut on her chest? It would be abnormal if it didn't hurt.

She took a big bite of the pie in her hand. She had clearly explained everything to him, but he refused to listen and dragged her over, causing her to not even finish her breakfast. Fortunately, she was quick enough to grab a pie.

Li Xi quickly distanced herself from him, angrily opened the big tent and walked in.

Gu Jingzhi knew she was very angry when he heard her heavy footsteps.

Li Xi ate the pie and looked at Gu Jingzhi, "Awake?"

Gu Jingzhi's face was already pale due to excessive blood loss. He spoke weakly, "Thank you..."

Li Xi stretched out her hand to stop him from saying anything more, "No, I don't deserve the Major General's thanks."

Gu Jingzhi twitched the corner of his mouth. He knew it would be like this.

"I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just didn't find the right time to tell you the truth."

With a pale complexion, a weak body, and a handsome face, Gu Jingzhi now looked like a sickly pretty boy, with a lovable look that made Li Xi almost forgive him.

"What? Beauty trap?

I don’t buy that.”

Beauty trap?!

Shi Hanshuo looked at Li Xi and then at his young master. He had clearly been here the entire time, but why did he always feel like something had happened that he didn't know about?

When Gu Jingzhi heard her say that, he couldn't help but chuckle, and the laughter touched his wound and he couldn't help but groan.

Li Xi looked at his frowning brows, opened her mouth and took a big bite of the pie, muttering, "Serves you right!"

"Doctor Li, please stop eating and show the young master to him." Shi Hanshuo urged.

Li Xi glanced at him, stuffed the last bite of pie into her mouth, washed her hands, walked to the bed, and pulled away the thin quilt covering Gu Jingzhi.

Because of the wound, Gu Jingzhi's upper body was naked, but neither Li Xi nor Gu Jingzhi looked embarrassed at all.

Li Xi has seen too much. Not to mention the top, she can even look at the bottom without blinking.

Gu Jingzhi was used to it. He had seen it when Li Xi was applying medicine to him when he was injured before. Not to mention changing the medicine, they even slept on the same kang every day at that time.

Instead, it was Shi Hanshuo standing by who widened his eyes. Although he already knew that it was Li Xi who performed the surgery to save the young master, Shi Hanshuo couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw her such "vigorous" movements.

Li Xi untied the gauze tied around the wound, checked the wound, reapplied some medicine and bandaged it again.

"The wound is fine, just take care of it." Li Xi said and was about to get up and leave.

Gu Jingzhi called her, "Where are you going?"

"Your wound is fine now. Wait until it's almost healed and have someone remove the stitches." Hu Zi was still waiting for her at home.

Upon hearing the news that Li Xi was leaving, Shi Hanshuo's reaction was even greater than Gu Jingzhi's.

"What! Doctor Li, you want to leave? How can you leave? The young master's injury hasn't healed yet. What will happen to our young master if you leave?"

Li Xi looked at him speechlessly. He was such a big man, why was he so fussy?

"What should we do? Just leave it alone!" Li Xi replied unhappily, "The arrow has been removed, and the wound has been sutured. All you have to do now is take care of your young master. What? I'll stay and feed him!"

Gu Jingzhi looked at Li Xi's energetic appearance, raised the corners of his mouth, and then flattened it again, "Li Xi, can you stay?"

Li Xi looked at him with strange eyes, "What? You really want me to stay and feed you?

I tell you, don’t even think about it!”

But looking at his weak and sickly handsome appearance, Li Xi was actually a little shaken. She looked away from him and couldn't help but despise herself in her heart. She was really blinded by his beauty. He was not someone she could afford to play with.

Uh, why would she want to play?

Li Xi shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind.

He said seriously, "Doctor Wu will stay. Hu Zi is waiting for me at home."

"I thought you understood the principle that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake." Gu Jingzhi sat back on the couch, holding his left chest. Although he did not cry out in pain, his face suddenly turned pale again, and he knew that this action would definitely hurt.

Shi Hanshuo was about to say something when he was stopped by Gu Jingzhi's eyes.

Li Xi stared at him expressionlessly, "What? You want to use force?"

A powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Does this mean that I have to stay in his territory? Li Xi looked at Gu Jingzhi. She didn't expect that she had just saved him without any grudges, but he turned around and repaid her with hatred.

Although Li Xi did not say some things, Gu Jingzhi was not blind and saw through them.

You could tell she was wrong by the look of surprise on her face.

"Aren't you making the anti-inflammatory Chinese patent medicine just to make our relationship closer and protect you?" Gu Jingzhi said to Li Xi.

Through that time together, he understood her better than she thought.

Li Xi: “…”

Uh, how should I put it, it's a bit embarrassing.

But she would definitely not let this go. "Who told you not to speak clearly? I misunderstood you."

Gu Jingzhi raised his lips into a faint smile. He did not dwell on the issue and happily took the blame.

"You can send people to protect Jiangning City. You don't have to come here."

She was living well in Jiangning City and didn't want to move. The Fufeng in her medicinal field hadn't grown up yet, and Hu Zi still had to study in a private school. It was troublesome just thinking about it.

Besides, compared with Jiayuguan, Jiangning City is much safer.

"Didn't I just say that a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake? There is only so much I can do in Jiangning City."

Li Xi looked at him without any hesitation, "Do you think I believe it?"

A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, but the problem is that their Zhenbei Army is not only a strong dragon but also a local dragon. In this northern land, Gu Changfeng is the local emperor, and he, Gu Jingzhi, is the local prince. Who dares not to give him face?

"The degree of mastery is naturally different. If you stay in Jiayuguan, I can guarantee that you can walk sideways here.

You don't have to worry about Hu Zi's private school. Our Gu family has a clan school, and the teachers there are knowledgeable and are all great scholars of the time."

Li Xi pursed her lips. What should she do? She was really tempted. "I'm not a crab. I don't need to walk sideways."

When he heard the word "crab", Gu Jingzhi's eyes flickered slightly. How could a person who grew up in the north know about crabs that are only found in the south? She really had so many secrets that he couldn't see them all.

"For the sake of our cooperation, I think we should bother each other."

Gu Jingzhi knew that Li Xi was not too attached to Jiangning City, she was just too lazy to move.

"You don't have to worry about the move. I can send someone to pick up Hu Zi and his things."

Every word of Gu Jingzhi touched Li Xi's heart. She agreed without much hesitation, "But where will we live if we move here?"

Li Xi took a look at Gu Jingzhi's big tent and knew that he definitely couldn't live here.

"I'll have someone arrange it."

Li Xi: "It's a one-person house. I don't want to live with others."

He hoped that she and Hu Zi would not be arranged to live in their home. That would be too awkward. Living in someone else's home would impose too many restrictions. He refused.

Gu Jingzhi: “…”

At first, he really wanted to arrange them to the General Zhenbei's Mansion, but seeing how she resisted, he didn't force her, otherwise, she would have been furious.

"it is good."

After discussing picking up Hu Zi, Li Xi planned to leave. "Okay, take good care of him. I'm going to take a nap."

Gu Jingzhi did not stop her and watched her leave.

Not long after Li Xi left, Gu Changfeng came with Doctor Wu.

Doctor Wu stepped forward to check Gu Jingzhi's wound. He looked at Gu Jingzhi's wound in amazement and said, "This is the first time I have seen suture treatment in all my years. Using needle and thread to sew up the wound like cloth can not only stop bleeding, but also speed up the healing process.

Wonderful, wonderful! "

"Old Wu, how is Jingzhi's injury?"

No news had been spread since Gu Jing was shot. The Huns saw him being shot with their own eyes. They did not believe that someone who was shot in the left chest by a soul-chasing arrow could survive.

They believed that the Zhenbei Army was afraid of shaking the morale of the troops and deliberately concealed the news of Gu Jingzhi's death.

The Huns believed that the death of Gu Jingzhi, their only son, would definitely have an impact on Gu Changfeng, but they were not sure what kind of impact Gu Jingzhi's death would have on Gu Changfeng, whether it would be positive or negative.

So they had been testing the waters during this period, and they sent several Hun teams to invade Jiayuguan.

Gu Jingzhi's serious injury did have an impact on Gu Changfeng. He planned to give them a big blow to let them know the consequences of provoking him.

So he has been very busy recently, and as soon as he has some free time he rushes to see Jingzhi's situation.

"Don't worry, it's no problem. Jingzhi is young and strong, he will be fine after some rest."

Doctor Wu is not concerned about the patient Gu Jingzhi now.

"Where is Li Xiaoyou? I just came from her place. The soldiers said that she followed you here." Doctor Wu asked.

"She just left." Shi Hanshuo replied, "Maybe she just missed it."

"Leaving? Where did you go?" Doctor Wu stood up. He had not yet had a good discussion with Li Xiaoyou about the magical medical book.

Gu Jingzhi: "She is too tired and went back to rest."

Doctor Wu thought she had returned to Jiangning City. He had already promised Gu Changfeng to stay in Jiayuguan for a while longer and leave only after Gu Jingzhi's health improved.

Having just looked at Gu Jingzhi's wound, he knew that the danger had passed. As long as he took good care of himself, there would be no problem. He was still young and in good physical condition. The Gu family had no shortage of medicinal herbs and supplements, so he probably wouldn't have any sequelae.

But he also understood Gu Changfeng's fatherly love. After all, he only had one child, Gu Jingzhi, so it wouldn't be too much to be more careful with him.

He stayed here, and naturally he couldn't let go of Li Xi's promise to tell him about the magical book. After watching Li Xi perform surgery on Gu Jingzhi, he became even more interested in the contents of the book.

Sui Yi thought about discussing with her and asking her to stay a little longer. As for Shi Tou and Hu Zi, they were being taken care of there and would not be in any danger. If she was worried, she could just ask someone to send them over.

He was now eager to learn about the contents of the book.

"That's good, that's good." Doctor Wu breathed a sigh of relief. He thought she had run away.

After Gu Jingzhi finished telling Gu Changfeng that Li Xi agreed to stay in Jiayuguan, before Gu Changfeng had time to say anything, Doctor Wu couldn't wait to speak, "Then I won't leave either!"
