Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.

The huge hole in Mu's left chest was shocking, but he still showed signs of life, with beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead and his lips trembling with pain.

Jiuer frowned and muttered to herself: "It's really strange..."

Zhang Jingwei, who was standing nearby, asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What's wrong? What happened that surprised you so much?"

Jiuer turned her head, staring at the man lying not far away, and said, "He's still alive."

Zhang Jingwei was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then hesitantly said, "Uh... what are you talking about... do you think he's dead?"

Jiu'er pointed at the injured part of Mu Tou and explained solemnly, "Look at this spot. A sword piercing the heart would, according to common sense, be fatal. But look at him now, he's actually sweating."

Zhang Jingwei's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Then why are you still dawdling here? If you don't get help quickly, you might really die!"

Jiu'er carefully observed the injured man's condition while thinking about countermeasures. She slowly said, "I'm thinking of a solution. Logically, the blood from the wound should flow out regularly with the beating of the heart."

At this moment, Zhang Jingwei suddenly had an idea and said, "Is it possible that his heart is on the right side?"

Jiu'er immediately put her ear to Mu's right chest and listened. Her eyes lit up and she suddenly realized, "It's true! There are people whose hearts are on the right side!"

Zhang Jingwei clasped his hands together, bowed towards the sky, and said with emotion: "It seems that God really blesses wood."

Jiuer shouted anxiously: "Go out and boil two basins of water! I want to sew up his wound immediately!" Her beautiful face was full of anxiety at this moment.

When Zhang Jingwei heard Jiuer's call, he quickly responded, "Oh! Okay, I'll go right away!" After that, he ran out in a hurry.

After Zhang Jingwei left the room, Jiu'er's expression turned somewhat melancholy. She gently raised her hand and pounded Mu Tou's body, muttering, "You reckless man! I told you to rest and recuperate, but you still ended up like this! Now all my mother's efforts to save you have gone to waste!" Despite her complaints, her eyes revealed a hint of concern and heartache.

Jiu'er blushed slightly, took a deep breath, and then carefully opened Mu's shirt. She picked up a clean cotton towel from the side, gently dipped it in some clean water, and carefully wiped the blood stains on Mu. Every wipe was done with extreme caution, as if she was afraid of hurting him.

And her originally calm heart gradually began to ripple with the movements of her hands.

Somehow, at this moment she was no longer afraid of blood. Usually, the sight of blood would make her feel green and dizzy, but at this moment she was exceptionally clear-headed.

Jiuer quickly took out the needle and thread, disinfected it with the flame from the candle, and began to sew up the wound on the wood.

Her technique was skillful and deft. Although she had never sutured before, she had seen this technique no less than a hundred times in her mother's medical books. She used stitch after stitch to tightly close the wound.

As time went by, the wound in the wood was finally healed.

Jiuer let out a long sigh and sat exhaustedly on the edge of the bed, staring at Mu Tou's sleeping face, her heart filled with relief and a sense of accomplishment.

She prayed silently, hoping that Mu Mu would recover soon.

After packing up the medical equipment, Jiuer decided to stay with Mu Tou and quietly guard him until he woke up.

Zhang Jingwei's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "It's finished so quickly? I just went to boil some water. Don't you need to check it carefully again? What if there's something wrong?"

Jiu'er replied confidently, "What's there to check? To be honest, my suturing skills have always been excellent, but I'm just afraid of blood!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jingwei couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "Oh my, she is worthy of being the daughter of Sun Yaolang. Her skills are simply like the reincarnation of Hua Tuo!"

However, Jiu'er asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Who is Hua Tuo?"

Zhang Jingwei quickly waved his hand and explained, "Hey, that's not important! As the saying goes, the waves behind push the waves ahead, and the disciple surpasses the master. If this continues, I'm afraid your medical skills will soon surpass Sun Yaolang!"

Jiu'er snorted softly, raised her chin and said proudly, "Of course! As long as I have more time to practice and study, I will definitely surpass mother in time!"

At this moment, Zhang Jingwei suddenly changed the subject, his lips curled up slightly to reveal a sly smile: "Hehe, so... Miss Jiuer, it turns out that your last name is Li!"

Jiu'er realized instantly that she had been tricked. She stamped her feet in anger and shouted angrily, "You're so good! I saved your brother out of kindness, but I didn't expect you to set a trap for me here!"

Zhang Jingwei said sincerely, "Don't misunderstand me! You saved my brother Mu's life today, so you are truly our benefactor! If you need any help in the future, just ask. You should know that the Yunzhou Tongzhi is my teacher. As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely do my best to help you!"

However, Jiu'er just snorted coldly, turned her head away and no longer looked at him, and responded coldly: "Humph, I don't want to say a word to you now!"

That arrogant face really looks a bit like Master Li, very majestic, yet also cute.

Zhang Jingwei came forward again and said to Jiuer, "Don't blame me, Miss Jiuer. I just wanted to tease you. If you don't believe me, I can swear."

After that, he raised his right hand and swore solemnly: "I, Zhang Jingwei, swear to heaven, if I tell even a single lie, you will punish me..."

"I'll punish you by making you treat Ling'er nicer in the future!" Jiu'er blurted out, and then she laughed.

Zhang Jingwei also laughed, thinking to himself: This Jiuer girl really has the chivalry of Master Li! She is not particular about trivial matters, has a broad mind, and has both the wrath of thunder and the tenderness of rain and dew!

How nice it would be if this were my wife! Zhang Jingwei was fantasizing, but Jiuer drove him out.

Outside the door, Yi Feiyu said seriously, "Master Zhang, Lord Gao has returned to the camp. We must now take this wanted criminal back to the government office. You must also take good care of yourself!"

Zhang Jingwei frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Criminal? Who is the criminal?" He was full of curiosity and confusion.

The burly Biao Heizi on the side answered loudly: "There are quite a few officials involved in this smuggling case! In addition to the corrupt and wanton magistrate Gaoyang, there are also the magistrates and chief clerks of the other three counties. All those guys who are not clean and have violated laws and regulations have been arrested by Lord Gao! This time it can be regarded as a great thing done for us ordinary people. It is so satisfying!" As he said, he waved his fist vigorously, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

After briefly bidding farewell to Yi Feiyu and the others, Zhang Jingwei went to Sun Yaolang's pharmacy.

Opened the "burned book"!

"Li Zaizhi!" Zhang Jingwei read the name again.

He opened the book to a page of text and just started reading it when he made a major discovery. "Ah! This... this is!"
