283 Operations

However, Nan Luo couldn't say that. It was something that shouldn't be spoken out until much later in the future.

If other people knew his ambitions, he would be killed even before anything else.

"In other words, we might fight Zhang Xu Kingdom?" Feng Ao Si's expression turned strange.

"Yes."

"Ugh, I really hope to have nothing to do with those parasites…"

Feng Ao Kuai was silent. Every kingdom has their own specialties. Zhang Xu Kingdom was known for their treachery that even other kingdoms didn't like to interact with that kingdom. Right now, they always knew that if they wanted to fight against Zhang Xu Kingdom, they had to be prepared to fight with a lot of lost for both parties.

Thankfully, Zhang Xu Kingdom was not in their peak anymore.

During the time Emperor Huan was on power, the damages they sustained from battling Zhang Xu Kingdom was really large.

It was even written in many records about their treacherous method that made the other kingdoms banded together just to fight with Zhang Xu Kingdom. It was only after they agreed to adhere to the rules did the wars lessened.

"We're going to have treaty with Zhang Xu Kingdom, right?" Nan Luo recalled their grandfather talked about this.

"Yes, this Spring."

"Why would we pick them?"

"That's to prevent them from attacking us." Feng Ao Kuai leaned back. "Also, I heard that they're also having a fight against another kingdom at the north. This treaty comes at the right time for them to launch their spears."

Nan Luo was silent.

As expected, he didn't quite understand.

"Rest for now. I'll explain more about other kingdoms later." Feng Ao Kuai glanced at Nan Luo and decided that they should rest first. Nan Hua would be doing an operation with Traveling Doctor Liu tomorrow and she would need all the rest she could get.

"Mhm."

The children took good rest for the night.

Nan Hua met with her master the next day. This time, she was dressed up as her usual self but her dress was a bit more modest and easy to move in. Xiao Yun specifically picked this one when she heard that Nan Hua would be helping Traveling Doctor Liu with the operations.

"Hua'er, are you ready?" Traveling Doctor Liu smiled faintly when he saw her standing near his temporary residence.

Nan Hua nodded, glancing around to gain better understanding of the place and prepare herself if there was ever any emergency. It was a habit that she had cultivated ever since she was young. Whenever she went, she had to make sure that she was prepared to escape if there was ever any danger.

This was the number one skill that she had to master in order to be able to survive many missions.

"Come here, Junior Sister Hua." Shan Yu waved his hand.

Kuang Shen was still scrunching his face when he saw Nan Hua but he didn't say anything this time. His eyes were focused on the small hut that Traveling Doctor Liu had prepared for their operation this time.

This was the first time he would ever participated in any operations, so he was a bit excited.

"Wash your hand first."

They had prepared water and the servants helped to bring Feng Qian Bo inside. Since his condition was the worst before Madam Lu, he was selected to be the first one to be operated here.

Shan Yu handed a glass of medicine to Feng Qian Bo and after drinking that, Feng Qian Bo lost consciousness very quickly. It was clear that the medicine was something that could cause consciousness.

"Press his sleeping accupoint," Traveling Doctor Liu instructed as he prepared the needles along with several other medicines. "Hua'er brew this medicine. Pay close attention to the time and also the dose. Kuang Shen will help you to keep the fire same all the time."

Kuang Shen looked at the small fireplace, feeling a bit nervous. Maintaining the fire was not easy because he had to make sure that the amount of firewood was more or less the same. There was no other method but to make sure that he put smaller pieces of wood at the same interval.

Shan Yu moved to press the accupoint, making sure that Feng Qian Bo would be sleeping throughout the operation.

Traveling Doctor Liu looked at Nan Hua and nodded, signaling for her to start brewing the medicine. Nan Hua didn't dare to delay as she poured the water in accordance to the amount stipulated. Afterwards, she put the herbs that her Master had prepared on the table.

Kuang Shen was also paying close attention, putting the firewood while calculating the time in his mind.

The two worked in tandems.

On the other hand, Traveling Doctor Liu checked Feng Qian Bo's pulse before he started to use the needles in his hand to seal the path of the parasites within Feng Qian Bo's body. Several needles moved all across Feng Qian Bo's body, all in different place and soon, almost the entire body was covered in needles.

Checking his pulse, Traveling Doctor Liu nodded and Shan Yu procured a heated knife. Since washing alone was not enough, they would usually heat up the tools they used by fire in order to make sure that it was not contaminated.

Slash!

A clean cut was made on Feng Qian Bo's hand.

Afterwards, there was weird sound coming from the hand as Traveling Doctor Liu used his needles and stabbed the parasites that came out. They were very thin, allowing them to move freely in the bloodstreams. Looking at the sheer amount and the various sizes, Shan Yu furrowed his eyebrows.

These parasites had been living in Feng Qian Bo's body for too long.

"Is that all, Master?"

"Close the wound." Traveling Doctor Liu gave the instruction as he poured all the parasites into a bowl and put it away.

Shan Yu didn't dare to be negligent as he moved quickly and used a needle and a thread to seal the wound almost immediately. His movement was quick as if he was too slow, Feng Qian Bo would die out of blood lose.

"Hua'er, the medicine."

"Yes, Master."

It seemed that her Master had timed it perfectly. When Traveling Doctor Liu asked for the medicine, it was only done for less than half a minute and Nan Hua had put it away on the table. The liquid turned dark and looked gooey. The smell was also quite bad.

Kuang Shen was watching from the side with nervousness. He was worried that he would make a mistake but seeing Traveling Doctor Liu said nothing when he saw the medicine, he felt glad.

Opening Feng Qian Bo's mouth, Traveling Doctor Liu poured the medicine into the man's mouth and forced him to swallow them all.

Probably if he was awake, he would have complained of how bitter it was.

When the last drop was swallowed, Traveling Doctor Liu smiled. "It's done."

Nan Hua's eyes were on the wound that Traveling Doctor Liu had made. He had cut on Feng Qian Bo's artery in order to push all the parasites out. This was the first time she ever knew that such method was possible.

The wound was also no longer bleeding.
