Lu Ze took two more steps forward with the torch. After taking a closer look at the person on the ground with Lin Suisui, their expressions became solemn.

The person on the ground wasn’t wearing the clothes of ordinary people. He was wearing a leather coat that only soldiers in the army wore.

Lin Suisui didn’t need Lu Ze’s reminder. She squatted down and began to check the soldier’s injuries. Soon, she turned around and whispered to Lu Ze, “He has two blade wounds on his body, but the most fatal wounds are probably the penetrating wounds caused by the two arrows in his chest.

Now, it looks like he’s in a coma caused by excessive blood loss. What should we do now?!”

“There’s no garrison here. This person seems to have come from the border! Let’s go and send him to the prince.” As Lu Ze spoke, he handed the torch and cooking utensils to Lin Suisui. He bent down and picked up the unconscious soldier on the ground, then turned around and rushed towards the camp.

Pei Qian came quickly after receiving the news.

When Pei Qian entered the tent, Lin Suisui had already treated half of the soldier’s injuries with the medicine Qian He had found for her.

“What’s going on?” Pei Qian didn’t disturb Lin Suisui, who was treating the soldier’s injuries. Instead, he asked Lu Ze. He had been separated from the two of them for less than two hours, but they had already given him such a big surprise?!

“We happened to see him when we went to the stream to wash the bowls and utensils,” Lu Ze replied simply. “Seeing that he was injured near the camp, we thought he was a soldier from our camp at first. In the end, we found out that he wasn’t.”

Lu Ze’s reason was quite impeccable.

After all, the soldiers escorting the refugees to the north were dressed similarly to the injured person. If one didn’t know these things, they wouldn’t be able to tell.

“Do you know this person’s background?” Pei Qian looked at Lu Ze deeply and didn’t probe further. Instead, he turned to ask Qian He.

“I think he’s a sergeant from the Yanyun Army at the border of the north.” As Qian He spoke, he took out the waist token he had just received from the soldier and handed it to Pei Qian. “However, the Yanyun Army’s camp is far from here. He…”

Qian He stopped talking at the right time and didn’t continue.

He actually suspected that this person might be a deserter, but his injuries…

“You suspect that he’s a deserter?!”

Pei Qian could more or less guess Qian He’s thoughts. He only snorted and didn’t ask further. Instead, he slowly walked to Lin Suisui, who had already stood up from beside the soldier, and asked, “How is it going?”

“His life is saved for the time being, but he’s seriously injured. The conditions here are limited. Whether he can survive or not depends on himself.”

Lin Suisui was very vague. This person’s injuries were much more serious than she had imagined. It was already a miracle that he had survived until now. As for whether he could survive next, it was difficult to say.

“Can you wake him up now?” Pei Qian looked at Lin Suisui and continued to ask in an indifferent tone.

“Yes, but…” Lin Suisui was a little hesitant. Of course, she had a way to wake this soldier up quickly, but the result of this method might make this soldier, who was originally saved, completely lose the possibility of survival.

“Then let him wake up immediately.”

Pei Qian didn’t hesitate at all, but this order wasn’t directed at Lin Suisui, but at the medical officers standing not far from her. “You guys have been standing here and watching for a long time. It’s time for you guys to come over and help.”

Lin Suisui hesitated for a moment before standing up and saying to Pei Qian, “Let me do it. I checked his injuries just now, so for now, I’m the person who knows his condition the best.”

Actually, Lin Suisui was a little grateful that Pei Qian had made this arrangement.

He probably didn’t want her to do something that was cruel to doctors. However, Lin Suisui was unwilling to give up on the life of the young soldier in front of her.

No matter why he was here and what his motive was, she wouldn’t give up until the final moment!

“Are you sure?” Pei Qian was a little surprised by Lin Suisui’s insistence, but he didn’t give up and asked for her opinion again. “You also know that if you want him to wake up immediately, you have to use a ruthless method. He might die in front of you. If that’s the case, aren’t you afraid?!”

“It’s not time to make a definitive conclusion yet. It’s too early to say this!” As Lin Suisui spoke, she had already taken out her needle kit and opened it. As she was busy, she didn’t forget to say to Pei Qian, “I’ll use silver needles to stimulate his acupuncture points first. I can wake him up immediately!

However, I hope that you can ask questions as soon as possible. It’s best if it doesn’t take more than five minutes!”

Pei Qian agreed and waved his hand for everyone in the tent to leave. The medical officials who had been called over by Qian He were naturally more than happy to leave. Although the remaining officials were a little unwilling, they thought that it was useless for them to know this news that was completely unrelated to escorting refugees, so they didn’t force it and followed them out.

Therefore, after everyone left, only the soldier lying on the ground, Pei Qian, Lin Suisui, and Lu Ze, were left in the huge tent.

Qian He stood at the entrance of the tent and gave Lu Ze meaningful looks for a long time, but Lu Ze acted as if he didn’t see them at all and was unmoved.

“Gu Erlang, are you going to stay too?” Pei Qian was so angry that he laughed as he stared at Lu Ze. He really didn’t expect this person to be so thick-skinned!

“I’m worried about leaving my wife here alone.”

Lu Ze looked up slightly and replied very reasonably.

Pei Qian and Lu Ze’s confrontation didn’t last long this time. Pei Qian chose to compromise. He waved at Qian He and gestured for him to go out to stand guard. At the same time, he tacitly agreed to Lu Ze’s decision to stay.

“Let’s get started.”

After Qian He left, Pei Qian turned to look at Lin Suisui and instructed her to start.

Lin Suisui was very skilled at acupuncture. She didn’t look like a newbie who had just come into contact with acupuncture. Pei Qian stood at the side and watched her movements. It was unknown what he was thinking. Even when the soldier had woken up, Pei Qian had yet to recover from his thoughts. In the end, Lin Suisui couldn’t help but remind him.

“Mr. Pei?!”
