"Can't Physician Song go?" Gu Jiao asked.
Little San responded awkwardly, "It's a patient from the Supreme Commander Estate. I heard that someone cut off his arm. Physician Song isn’t capable of such treatment."
Gu Jiao’s hand adjusting the curtain properly paused, "Supreme Commander Estate? Which Supreme Commander Estate?"
Little San said, "There is only one Supreme Commander Estate in the capital, which is the original Tang Estate." He looked around and whispered, "Gu girl, haven't you heard the major news today?"
"What news?" Gu Jiao asked.
Little San answered, "Well... Something big happened at the Hushan Camp. I heard that the National Supreme Commander’s nephew got into a fight with someone and suffered serious injuries... I never expected him to even have his arm cut off. I wonder who was so bold..."
Oh, his arm was severed.
Gu Jiao slightly narrowed her eyes, where a faint glint could be seen. She said, "Alright, I'll go."
"That's great! Then I will wait for you in the carriage!" Little San said with a smile before going out.
Gu Jiao smiled wickedly as she took out her small notebook and wrote Tang Ming's name on it with a charcoal pen.
Gu Jiao, carrying her back basket, boarded Little San's carriage and they headed to Miraculous Hands Hall.
When the Tang Family’s steward saw that the one who came was actually a medical woman, he looked disdainful at once, "Why is it a medical woman?"
Little San argued, "She is Miraculous Hands Hall’s most skilled physician! She’s also one of the owners of our Miraculous Hands Hall! She's not a medical woman! She’s a female physician!"
She has even treated the Emperor, understand?
Humph!
The Tang Family's steward was still somewhat disdainful.
Gu Jiao said indifferently, "If even I can't cure your young master’s injury, then probably no physician in the world can cure it."
Little San straightened his back and added, "That's right!"
The Tang Family's steward believed that a little medical hall shouldn’t have the guts to deceive the Supreme Commander Estate. After a deep frown, he ultimately took Gu Jiao to the Supreme Commander Estate.
Tang Yueshan wasn’t happy to see the arrival of a medical woman, but Medic Jiang recognized Gu Jiao at a glance, "This… This is the physician who was at the scene of the accident that day! She is very skilled in medicine! She rescued the most patients that day!"
Upon hearing such a statement from Medic Jiang, Tang Yueshan felt a little relieved and he glanced at Gu Jiao again.
Her face was disfigured.
Despite that, she didn’t show any sense of inferiority and timidity, but was very calm, natural and relaxed instead.
However, he didn’t know if it was just his imagination, but the girl's eyes… seemed a little excited?
He must be just thinking too much.
What was so exciting about treating his nephew? She should be nervous instead. After all, if she failed to cure him, she would receive his wrath.
Tang Yueshan said in a grim voice, "You should have heard about this commander’s nephew's condition. Can you treat it?"
"Yes." Gu Jiao answered.
Tang Yueshan was stupefied. She answered... so quickly? Without the slightest hesitation?
"The treatment fee isn’t cheap though." Gu Jiao added.
Tang Yueshan snorted coldly, "As long as you can cure this commander’s nephew, this commander can afford however much it costs!"
Gu Jiao spread out her five fingers, "Five thousand taels."
"Hiss——" Tang Yueshan gasped, then said through clenched teeth, "Fine, as long as you can cure his injury, not to mention five thousand taels, even ten thousand taels is not a problem!"
Gu Jiao raised an eyebrow, "Then ten thousand taels it is."
Tang Yueshan took a deep look at Gu Jiao, saying, "Follow me."
Tang Yueshan brought Gu Jiao to Tang Ming's courtyard.
The Supreme Commander Estate was larger than the Marquis Ding'an Estate, and the paths were so complicated that even Gu Jiao, an agent in her previous life, could hardly avoid getting lost without being led by someone.
Gu Jiao was looking around along the way.
Tang Yueshan didn't say anything about it and simply regarded it as her not having been to such a large residence before.
Entering Tang Ming's room, a strong scent of blood assaulted her face.
Gu Jiao’s expression remained unchanged. She walked up to Tang Ming to check his wound then said to Tang Yueshan, "I'm going to operate on him later, you can wait outside."
"No." Tang Yueshan said coldly, "This commander doesn't trust you. In case you take advantage of this commander's absence to do something to Ming’er, this commander will surely regret it."
This old codger was still quite cautious.
Gu Jiao said, "Suit yourself."
Tang Yueshan insisted on staying in the room.
He watched Gu Jiao open a small medicine chest and put on a pair of gloves, then she took out a strange needle, which was connected to a strange bag of medicine hanging from the other end, and stuck it into Tang Ming's arm.
Next, Gu Jiao began to stitch up Tang Ming’s wound.
Tang Yueshan kept a close eye on the whole process.
Tang Yueshan wasn’t an inexperienced teenager like Gu Chengfeng. He had been on the battlefield, had stepped on the bones of the dead, and had even eaten meat among the pile of corpses. He could stand this bloody scene without any issue.
On the contrary, it was Gu Jiao's calmness that made Tang Yueshan look askance.
It was natural for him to remain unmoved as he had killed countless people, but how could a young girl like her keep her face straight? It wasn’t as if she had killed people too!
The operation went smoothly.
"Can he still hold a sword in the future?" Tang Yueshan asked.
Gu Jiao replied, "I don't know. I only treat injuries, not martial arts."
In fact, Tang Yueshan didn't harbor much hope in his heart. It hadn’t been easy connecting this arm. It really didn’t matter if it could no longer hold a sword. In any case he still had another hand, and he could just start practicing with his left hand from now on!
Tang Yueshan asked the steward to head to the accounts office and pay Gu Jiao the fee.
Gu Jiao took the money and immediately left the Supreme Commander Estate.
However, instead of going back home, she changed into her night outfit and put on her beautiful peacock feather mask, then she quietly sneaked back into the Supreme Commander Estate.
She had already memorized the paths within the Supreme Commander Estate.
Tang Ming, here she comes.
The night was moonless and windy.
After an entire day of chaos and anxiety, the Supreme Commander Estate finally recovered its former tranquility. With Tang Ming's situation becoming very stable, Tang Yueshan returned to his own courtyard with relief, leaving two dark guards to guard him.
The two dark guards stood outside the door of Tang Ming's room with solemn expressions.
Suddenly, a small shadow fell from above and from her hands, two silver needles whizzed into their bodies!
The two dark guards felt their bodies weaken and they both fell to the ground.
Gu Jiao pushed the door open and walked in slowly, her simple yet elegant skirt sliding past on the cold threshold.
She came to Tang Ming's bed and stared at him with great interest, as if she were looking at a prey about to enter her trap.
The effect of the anesthetic she administered to Tang Ming during the operation was gradually wearing off, but Gu Jiao had added something else to it, so he should still be unable to move at the moment, it was just that he would be more sensitive to pain than ever before.
Sure enough, Tang Ming began to feel pain.
Both large and small sword wounds on his body as well as the injury on his arm scrambled to wake him up.
He opened his eyes in a cold sweat, only to see a petite ghostly figure in front of his bed.
The petite figure was wearing a peacock feather mask, giving out a frightening eerie feeling!
Tang Ming got a fright!
Somebody——
He shouted.
Only to find that his throat could only produce indistinct weak noises.
Gu Jiao hooked up the corner of her lips. En, the effect of the drug was pretty good, it even numbed his vocal cords.
