Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 197: Chapter 114: The Benefits of a Superior Medicine Refiner Chapter 197: Chapter 114: The Benefits of a Superior Medicine Refiner Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng suddenly lost his temper.

The wound on his back was still burning with pain, and he really did not want to see this group of culprits at this moment.

“Someone, send them back.”

Instantly, a guard stepped forward, bowing in response.

The group of doctors looked at each other, extremely puzzled.

“But the city gate…”

What was Lady Changsheng planning to do? By sending them away, but could they really make it back?

The city gate was not something they could open by simply knocking!

“Follow me!” The guard took the token handed over by Gu Changsheng and rebuked coldly.

This group had caused Lady Changsheng’s wound to split open; how could they deserve any kindness from him!

Lady Changsheng was considered a godlike figure in their hearts!

“Let’s go…” Hu Yihai glanced at the tightly closed door and finally made a decision, leading the people to follow the guard.

Listening to Lady Changsheng, perhaps they could really enter the city.

Upon returning home, Gu Changsheng lay motionless on the couch, and when Yue Xilou led everyone home, this was the situation they observed.

Xiao Cui and Dong Lei, upon seeing the traces of blood seeping from Gu Changsheng’s back, immediately teared up.

“My lady, what happened? Weren’t they just doctors from Liuzhou, not here to cause trouble, yet how did you get injured? The wound has all split open…” Xiao Cui, sadly in tears, quickly took out the medicine box, cleaned the wound, applied medicine, and bandaged it—she had become quite adept at this routine.

“Ah… it hurts…”

Xiao Cui’s mention of it made things worse; Gu Changsheng’s face immediately darkened as she cried out in pain, “Xiao Cui, don’t rub salt in the wound.”

“How could I bear to put salt in my lady’s wound? This is a medicine that my lady made herself.” Xiao Cui lightened her movements.

“Ah, you don’t die if you don’t court death. I’ve dug my own grave, so let’s not bring this up again.” Gu Changsheng buried his face in the pillow, the injury to his pride profound.

The group looked at each other and held their peace.

Meanwhile, the group of doctors, after a night of terror, nervously followed the chilly guard towards Liuzhou City.

Reason told them to trust Lady Changsheng, and they weren’t wrong.

But in reality, the massive city gate was shut tight.

“Now we’re really in trouble; we can only rely on the city walls for the night.”

“Ah…”

Lady Changsheng was indeed merciless. Housing them for one night wouldn’t have hurt; sleeping on the floor would have been better than staying in the wilderness.

The doctors were utterly exhausted, their plight quite miserable.

The guard glanced at them and walked towards the city gate first.

“Who goes there? Trespassers at the city gate will be shot on sight!” A guard on the city wall, pointing his long spear, shouted down.

The doctors startled, looked up at the cold gleam of arrow points above the city gate.

Liuzhou City’s defenses were the strongest in Jiangnan, impregnable, and indeed, being shot was a very real possibility!

They all stepped back, unanimously believing that Lady Changsheng was actually leading them to their deaths.

But instead of retreating, the guard advanced, the token held high, and called out loudly, “By the order of Lady Changsheng, open the city gate, let these people into the city.”

“Lady…Lady Changsheng?” The guard who had just shouted was shocked, dropping his spear, “Boss, there’s trouble, Lady Changsheng is here again…”

No wonder he was panicked; the night Lady Changsheng had entered the city, the very next day, the City Lord’s Mansion had been massacred…

Not a single life had been spared!

“Who? Who did you say?” The dozing gatekeeper officer stumbled from his chair, scrambling out, “What are you waiting for? Open the city gate!”

The doctors watched in stunned silence as the enormous city gate slowly opened a crack, then swung wide open…

The gatekeeper, who had just arrogantly threatened to shoot them on sight, was now hurriedly following a disheveled gatekeeper officer.

“May I know Lady Changsheng’s orders?” The gatekeeper officer, while straightening his clothes, asked with a sycophantic smile.

The token thrust forward, the guard’s voice was ice-cold, “Open the city gate, let them into the city.”

He was just a minor guard of the guesthouse; when had he ever been treated with such respect? The gatekeeper officer’s rank was three levels above his!

Though his face flushed with excitement, the guard maintained a solemn demeanor.

He could not embarrass Lady Changsheng; speaking on her behalf, he represented Lady Changsheng, and he could not show any weakness, absolutely not!
