Back then, when he met the young man who looked similar to him in the capital, Qin Mian had already predicted that he would meet the original owner's family in the future. Thus, right now, there was no surprise at all, nor was there any excitement.
"I do have a mole on the left side of my waist. I'm not sure if there is one behind my right shoulder."
Qin Wencai almost blurted out "you can tell at a glance", but even though the other party was a man, and also had the identity of the National Duke's wife, he still couldn't be rude.
"There must be... You and I look so much alike, and you happen to have a mole on the left side of your waist. Qin Wencai said with a confident tone. His eyes shone with a watery light and his gaze landed on Qin Mian's body reluctantly.
Qin Mian was a little uncomfortable and frowned. After the death of Qin Wencai's real son, he had coincidentally taken over his body. It was somewhat impossible for him to sincerely accept Qin Wencai as his father. Firstly, he wouldn't take advantage of a dead person and enjoy the love that didn't belong to him; secondly, he couldn't be called an unfamiliar man's father; thirdly, he had his own selfish motives. Like Lei Tia, he didn't want to have any other complicated family members. At that time, the young man most likely suspected his identity as well, but did not take the initiative to recognize him. It could be seen that he did not welcome him back into the Qin Family, as the situation inside was presumably very complicated.
Qin Wencai sighed, "You've been in the capital for so long and yet you still haven't taken the initiative to return home. I guessed that you most likely didn't have the original memories, and as expected ?? "You ??"
Qin Mian politely interrupted him, "Imperial Physician Qin, everything will have to wait until the west gate. "How about it?" He had to ask Lei Tia if he had a mole on his right shoulder before he make his plans.
Qin Wencai was 90% sure that he was his son, he had already put aside most of his worries. In a good mood, he nodded, "Alright, alright ??"
After riding on horseback for a few days, the group of people arrived at West Pass Su City near noon. There was no snow in Su City, but the weather here was much worse than in Beijing. The cold and dry wind was like a knife, and the faces of the passersby were red from the cold. As long as there was a part of their faces that was not tightly wrapped, the cold wind would ruthlessly invade their bodies.
Qin Mian had thought that because of the war, the houses and shops in the city would be closed, and the city was deserted and desolate. However, after entering the city, he discovered that it was still very lively, and the flames at the borders didn't seem to affect them in the slightest. On the roadside stalls selling all kinds of snacks, the boilers emitted hot smoke and flew away with the wind. Mixed with the fragrance of the steamed buns, scones, and roasted sweet potatoes, it made one salivate.
The waiters wore felt hats and thick cotton-padded jackets, tied tight around their waists with straw or strips of cloth. Their hands were interlaced in their sleeves, and they opened their mouths to shout, exhaling clouds of steam.
"Steamed buns, hot steamed buns!"
"Sweet and fragrant roasted sweet potato. I'm sure you want a second one after eating one!"
"The beef noodles are both fragrant and spicy. Eating a bowl of it can keep you up until nightfall!"
"??"
Qin Wencai praised: "It's all thanks to the Great General that he was able to fight bravely and control things strictly. That's why the commoners were able to live and work happily like usual."
Qin Mian laughed modestly: "Imperial Physician Qin is too kind."
The leader of the guards rode his horse to the side of the carriage and said politely: "Sir Qin, Imperial Physician Qin, I'll have to trouble you two a bit more. We will directly head to the barracks." Along the way, Qin Mian never complained at all, and did not make things difficult for them. Instead, he gave them some milk and mixed them some food.
Qin Mian knew that these people would have to answer to him, so he did not make things difficult for them, and nodded his head: "Alright, thank you for your hard work."
The horse team headed straight for the west gate. When the passersby saw that they were soldiers, they consciously moved to the sides of the street to make way for them.
There are now two barracks in Su City, one outside the city and one inside the city. Previously, he had received news from the capital that the border army had penetrated almost fifty kilometers deep into the borders of the Turow Country, causing the two hundred thousand strong Turow Country army to fall into disarray and become four major cities of the enemy nation. Right now, the two armies were at loggerheads, and could launch a general attack at any time. The military camps in the city were now specially used to accommodate the poisoned soldiers.
Due to the tense war, they needed helpers. Other than the six military doctors, Lei Tia only arranged one hundred soldiers to help the military doctors take care of the wounded.
After the leader of the guards revealed his badge to the captain in charge of the army, the captain immediately sent two people to rush to the barracks outside the city to report to Great General, who was in charge of the country.
Although Qin Mian was anxious to see Lei Tia, it was more important to treat the soldiers who were poisoned. Qin Mian sat with Imperial Physician Qin for a while, drank a mouthful of hot tea to recuperate, then he went to treat the soldiers.
More than ten thousand people were huddled up in more than twenty tents, all at their last breaths. No matter who saw it, their hearts couldn't help feeling heavy. Fortunately, although the soldiers couldn't move, they still looked alright. It was the pill that Qin Mian had given Lei Tia that had produced such remarkable results.
However, every time they heard the sound of war drums in the distance, the officers would become anxious and restless. They would wish for nothing more than to get up and join the battle but their physical condition prevented them from doing so.
When they found out that Qin Wencai was actually the emperor's doctor, everyone's eyes lit up. Qin Mian was young, and although he had specifically come to treat them, almost no one cared about him.
"Imperial Physician Qin, in your opinion, what kind of poison is it?" Doctor Yu was one of the military doctors who stayed in the city's barracks. Because he had been working hard for a long time, his face was full of fatigue, but he was lacking in manpower, so he had no choice but to endure.
Qin Mian looked carefully at the symptoms of the poisoned people, his face was pale white, his lips were black, his skin was green and slightly swollen, and there were some bulging blood clots.
Another military doctor pinched his sore shoulder and said, "A few days ago, Great General found a genius doctor and successfully suppressed their poison. After taking the medicine, no one's skin has been festering and no one else has been infected. "It's a pity that the Godly Doctor had a strange temper. He only stayed in the barracks for half a day and then disappeared.
Qin Wencai looked at Qin Mian inquisitively. Although the Emperor Xiao Hui didn't say it explicitly, Qin Mian was the leader of the group this time, and he was only there to support him.
Qin Mian knew that he was too young, and that it was not easy to convince, so he did not mind and nodded to him.
Qin Wencai opened his mouth, "No wonder this old man found out that the complexion of these few people wasn't bad at all. It looks like it ?? wait until this old man has a pulse. "
He did not pay attention and directly knelt on one knee at the edge of the bed. He picked up one of the injured wrists, closed his eyes for nearly half an hour, and then checked the pulse of the others.
The soldiers nearby all looked at him nervously, praying that this doctor would be able to heal them and allow them to return to the battlefield.
"How is it?" Dr. Yu asked expectantly.
Imperial Physician Qin said: "If this old man's diagnosis is correct, they have planted a strange poison that Turow Country people call 'half-life'. This old man will ask you this again. Initially, did the poisoned people feel that there was an invisible monster that was sucking blood soundlessly within their body, causing their bodies to gradually turn cold? "
Doctor Yu was overjoyed, "That's right, Imperial Physician Qin is indeed the descendant of an aristocratic medicine family! Since Imperial Physician Qin knows about this poison, I believe that you also have a way to cure it? "
The other military doctors gathered around in surprise.
Imperial Physician Qin was very cautious, he did not immediately state his opinion, but said to Qin Mian: "Sir Qin, please try."
Qin Mian was too young. The military doctors looked at him disapprovingly as they felt the pulse of the soldiers.
Qin Mian stood up, "I don't know the name of this poison, but I know how to cure it. Let me write a prescription first and let Imperial Physician Qin see if it is feasible. "
Doctor Yu opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by Qin Wencai.
"Alright."
Doctor Yu gave up on the idea of objecting. To put it bluntly, if Qin Mian and Qin Wencai were to kill him, it would not have anything to do with him. Since Qin Wencai did not want him to interrupt, why would he go through the trouble?
On the table beside him were the four treasures of the study, and the medicine boy ran over to grind them.
Qin Mian picked up a brush, wrote down a prescription and gave it to Qin Wencai.
Several military doctors came over to take a look. There were over twenty types of medicinal herbs in the prescription. One of the medicinal herbs was actually cow urine!
"This ??"
However, Qin Wencai's expression did not change, and he nodded slightly, "Bovine urine can cure edema and abdominal distension, it is suitable for use here. "The Southern Dynasty's Thousand Gold Medicine Recipe has it written inside."
The few military doctors had nothing to say. The Imperial Physician Qin was from a medicinal family, and it was said that eight generations ago, the Emperor was sick and had a family history. It was not strange for them to have this Thousand Gold Medicine Recipe , a medical book that they had only heard of but never met.
Qin Wencai looked at Qin Mian with praise, then walked to the table and opened up a prescription.
"Sir Qin, please look. This old man thought that the effects of this herb would be even faster, but it's a pity that one of the medicinal herbs, 'conifer', only grows within the Turow Country, and it's rarely used within the Grand Xia Country. "
After looking around, Qin Mian revealed a face of hesitation.
Qin Wencai felt that it was strange, "There is nothing I can't say to others. It's alright if Sir Qin has something to say. "
Qin Mian still indicated for him and the military doctors to go to the corner to avoid the soldiers.
"If the Imperial Physician Qin's side targeted half-life, I can say with certainty that the poison they were infected with wasn't half-life. If the Imperial Physician Qin really used Sea Constellation Forest, the patient's body and mind would be able to recover to the appearance of a normal person within an hour. However, they would die from the poison an hour later. "
"What!" Several military doctors turned pale with fright.
Qin Wencai also found it hard to believe, "You mean ??"
Qin Mian said with certainty: "This poison is clearly a tampered 'half-life'. If it's really used then it's a trap set up by the enemy."
The loud voice of the guards resounded outside the tent.
"Greetings Great General!"
Qin Mian's heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at the tent entrance.
The door curtain was opened, and Lei Tia, clad in a set of armor, walked in with big strides, his deep gaze gently landing on's face.
