This villain has become a ghost

As for what this bowl of black stuff is...

Yue Liuyun said sincerely:

"Master Pei... you're truly a leader, even though you've boiled the medicine until it's burnt like this."

What’s even more amazing is that this person didn’t realize this and handed the bowl to her as if nothing had happened.

Pei Duo: “…”

Although he was uneducated, he could vaguely feel that Yue Liuyun was implicitly mocking him.

Pei Duo laughed awkwardly, quickly put away the medicine bowl, and promised:

"...I didn't do it right this time. Wait a minute, I'll make you a new bowl of medicine."

Yue Liuyun stopped him:

"Stop it, kid. There aren't many more medicines left for you to waste."

She couldn't help but ask, "...Is this your first time making medicine?"

Pei Duo scratched his head, nodded embarrassedly and said:

"You know, I'm just a bandit. Whenever I got hurt or sick, I basically recovered on my own..."

Yue Liuyun's mouth twitched.

Rely entirely on self-healing?

It's so fierce.

It's a miracle that this man is still alive.

Pei Duo observed Yue Liuyun's expression calmly. Seeing that she looked calm and showed no sadness, he felt quite uneasy.

He asked tentatively: "Are you... okay... now?"

Yue Liuyun said calmly:

"Great."

Pei Duo sighed:

"That night..."

"...something was fishy about that night," Yue Liuyun interrupted him, and continued, "...the soldiers from Wuzhou were colluding with the Chiyu people. There are two suspicious points about this."

"First, I ordered the blockade of Wuzhou since the war began. The fact that the Chiyu people appeared in Wuzhou means they have been lurking in Wuzhou since a long time ago."

"But after this incident, these people should be unable to hide anymore. A thorough investigation will definitely lead to their capture."

"Secondly, the drugs should have been created by Ye Zhaoxi. His purpose is self-evident. However, the people of Chiyu also introduced them. Either they were influenced by Wuzhou and brought them to Chiyu as normal commodities, or... they have been cooperating with Ye Zhaoxi..."

Pei Duo: “…”

Pei Duo hesitated to speak.

Yue Liuyun did not give him a chance to speak and continued:

"...For this first thing, I'll trouble Master Pei and Feng Ning to take care of it together."

"As for the second thing..."

"...Tell Murong Jin that I will prepare a banquet and wait for her to come to Wuzhou for the appointment."

Seeing her like this, Pei Duo swallowed back the words he had prepared.

He sighed, nodded, and said:

"……it is good."

"Leave these to me first. The doctor said you need to rest well for a few days."

No matter how dumb he was, he could tell that she was deliberately trying to change the subject.

Now...I shouldn't mention what happened that night in front of her anymore.

Sometimes, sadness takes time to digest. It is a process of reconciliation with oneself.

"Rest?" Yue Liuyun listened to his words, thought carefully, and said, "...That's a good idea."

She pondered and said, "But before that, there is one more thing I need you to do for me."

Pei Duo straightened his expression and asked seriously, "...What?"

Yue Liuyun said: "I'm hungry and want to eat."

Pei Duo: “…”

Pei Duo chuckled helplessly and replied softly:

"……Row."

Then, Yue Liuyun added very sincerely: "...um, remember, don't do it."

If the medicine is boiled into this state, it will be terrible if it is used for cooking. Is it edible?

Pei Duo: “…”

Pei Duo's smile froze on his face and the corners of his mouth twitched.

No hehe.

-

Xuanzhou.

Another bloody battle.

One after another, the wounded were carried on stretchers into the straw hut, with painful howls and sobs rising and falling. Some were missing arms, some had broken legs, some had been burned beyond recognition, and some had limbs covered in blood...

Although Bai Yueguang is a doctor, he is still young after all and has never seen so many dead people in his life.

Doctor Xu treated her like his own daughter and gave her full responsibility for the plague. He brought several doctors with him and worked day and night to treat the wounded.

Now that the plague has been largely brought under control, the people of Xuanzhou City are no longer in the panic they once were, and have begun to regain confidence and hope. Even though the war may last a long time, morale is rising rather than declining.

The medicine soup was boiling in the big pot, and Bai Yueguang called the soldier in charge of cooking.

The soldier had a dark face but a pair of bright eyes. He spoke with an accent and kept calling Bai Yueguang "Doctor Bai".

Not only him, but everyone from soldiers to the people of Xuanzhou shouted at her like this when they saw her these days.

Bai Yueguang went from being embarrassed at first to now being able to accept this title happily and with peace of mind.

Who knows… How wonderful it is to have so many people so sincerely call her a “miracle doctor”.

She smiled and ordered:

"Wait a moment, the medicine isn't ready yet. I'll come over later and give it to the others."

The soldier stood at attention and nodded at her.

"Okay, Doctor Bai!"

Her heart suddenly blossomed again. She hummed a song and picked up a spoon to scoop up a bowl of medicine.

In the tent, Xia Ruzhi took off his armor and put on a green robe. He had a graceful figure and stood beside the desk. He held a pen and wrote something on the paper. He looked like a handsome scholar.

When he saw the tent being opened and Bai Yueguang coming in with medicine, he stopped writing.

Xia Ruozhi said with a sad face:

"Oh my god, I need to take medicine again?"

Bai Yueguang smiled and nodded:

"This is my latest invention. It can effectively prevent the plague and is harmless to the body."

She proudly puffed her chest and raised her chin: "...With a miracle doctor like me, you can just be happy."

Seeing that she was very flattered by the title of "miracle doctor", Xia Ruzhi shook his head and said:

"You are depraved, little kid."

"You were quite modest at first, but now you're calling me a miracle doctor."

Bai Yueguang waved his hand and said pretentiously:

"Well-deserved, well-deserved..."

"low profile……"

Xia Ruozhi: “…”

With your current situation, how can you be so low-key?

Adhering to the idea that short pain is worse than long pain, and long suffering is worse than slow suffering, he drank the bowl of medicine in one gulp with great confidence.

...Then he grimaced in pain.

Bai Yueguang held her breath and stared at him.

Xia Ruozhi's face was full of question marks: "Why...why are you looking at me?"

Waited for a long time.

Bai Yueguang finally breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his hands together, and said with a smile:

"Great, you're still alive."

"This medicine really works!"

Xia Ruozhi: “???”
