“Then let me show you.”

As his words fell, Jiang Changbai immediately charged forward.

King Chujiang had not expected Jiang Changbai to directly come at him. After a few seconds of reaction time, he quickly drew his sword to defend.

Jiang Changbai knew that King Chujiang came on purpose. To change the dire situation, he had to fight quickly and decisively. Thus, when he fought with King Chujiang, Jiang Changbai’s moves became more aggressive.

King Chujiang was experienced, but after all, he wasn’t in his prime for battle. After several exchanges with Jiang Changbai, he began to tire. However, he was too proud to ask for help from those beside him.

“King Chujiang, you really don’t care about your youngest son’s death, do you?” Upon hearing this, anger flashed in King Chujiang’s eyes. Just as he was caught off guard, the long sword in Jiang Changbai’s hand pierced King Chujiang’s shoulder.

Originally, he had aimed for King Chujiang’s heart, but with his extensive battle experience, King Chujiang’s first reaction was to dodge. Even so, he was injured.

“Your Highness?”

Seeing King Chujiang injured, the soldiers of Jiangzhou showed concern.

“Retreat!”

The deputy general beside King Chujiang immediately called out.

A moment later, King Chujiang’s side began to retreat. Jiang Changbai’s troops instinctively wanted to pursue, but he stopped them, “Don’t chase.”

“Young General, shouldn’t we pursue our advantage?”

“This is Jiangzhou, if we chase, we’ll be at a disadvantage. Don’t pursue.”

With that, Jiang Changbai led the army back to the camp.

Upon returning to the camp, Jiang Changbai immediately went to Xiao Nanye’s tent.

Lin Xingchen had already summoned several doctors, but no one could treat the wounds on Xiao Nanye, nor could they cure his poson.

“What’s that smell?”

After standing in the tent for a while, Jiang Changbai noticed a rotting smell.

Upon closer inspection, Jiang Changbai realized the smell came from Xiao Nanye.

Han Feng approached and carefully lifted Xiao Nanye’s clothes, discovering that the wound had started to rot.

Seeing this, worry filled Han Feng’s eyes.

“All of you are useless, can’t you do anything?”

No matter how Han Feng raged, the doctors dared not approach. At this moment, Han Feng deeply missed Jiang Peihuan.

If she were here, she’d surely have a way to heal Xiao Nanye.

As he thought this, a sentinel outside announced, “General, there’s an army approaching.”

“They dare to come back?”

Upon hearing the sentinel, Jiang Changbai’s first thought was that King Chujiang’s troops had returned. As he instinctively prepared to go out, Lin Xingchen stopped him.

Meeting his puzzled gaze, Lin Xingchen whispered, “Young General, you’ve just returned from the battle. Let me handle it this time.”

“Take more men with you.”

“Alright.”

Jiang Changbai had complete trust in Lin Xingchen’s abilities, so he felt at ease.

When Lin Xingchen left Xiao Nanye’s tent and stepped outside with his men, he was taken aback by the sight of the approaching party.

Upon closer examination, the person leading was indeed Jiang Peihuan.

“Halt! Do not shoot arrows.”

Seeing his soldiers readying their bows, Lin Xingchen quickly intervened.

After halting the soldiers, Lin Xingchen rode forward directly.

When Jiang Peihuan’s people heard the sound, they instinctively drew their long swords. “It’s our own people!” Upon recognizing the approaching group, Jiang Peihuan immediately spoke.

Upon hearing her words, everyone lowered their weapons.

Lin Xingchen rode his horse straight to Jiang Peihuan. Seeing who it was, he dismounted and gave a bow before speaking in a hushed tone, “Eldest Miss, why have you come here?”

“To bring you food supplies.”

Only after hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words did Lin Xingchen notice the piles of grain on the carts.

Joyful, Lin Xingchen exclaimed, “That’s great.”

Jiang Peihuan scanned the surroundings, not seeing either Xiao Nanye or Jiang Changbai. She couldn’t help but ask, “Where are King Cheng and my elder brother?”

“The Young General just returned to camp. As for His Highness, he’s injured.” “Injured?”

Lin Xingchen nodded, briefly recounting the day’s events. He then added, “Eldest Miss, it’s good that you’re here. Neither the military doctors nor the city doctor can treat His Highness. His wound has started to rot.”

Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan’s expression grew even more concerned.

“Take me to King Cheng’s tent.”

“Yes.”

Lin Xingchen immediately mounted his horse, and Jiang Peihuan quickly followed.

The two arrived at Xiao Nanye’s tent. As they neared the entrance, Jiang Peihuan heard Han Feng shouting, “All of you, get out!”

Chasing the doctors away, Han Feng lifted the tent curtain, only to find Jiang Peihuan in military attire.

“Eldest Miss?”

Han Feng almost thought he was hallucinating. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, but the figure on the horse remained steadfast.

Seeing this, an amused Lin Xingchen commented, “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and let the Eldest Miss in.”

“Eldest Miss, you’ve come at the right time.”

“Where’s Xiao Nanye?”

“Master is inside.”

Without another word, Jiang Peihuan entered.

“Huan Er, why are you here?”

Jiang Changbai, who was inside, emerged upon recognizing the voice. Seeing his sister, his eyes lit up with excitement.

“Elder brother, let me see Xiao Nanye first. We can talk afterward.”

“Alright, check on King Cheng first.”

Upon approaching the bedside, Jiang Peihuan detected a putrid smell. Her face showed profound concern as she felt Xiao Nanye’s pulse.

His complexion was incredibly pale, with barely any color left.

After checking his pulse, Jiang Peihuan lifted the clothing on his chest, exposing the black, rotting wound. Her eyes were filled with alarm.

She turned to Han Feng and whispered, “Do you have strong alcohol in the army?”

“Yes, I’ll go look for it.”

Han Feng departed promptly and returned shortly with a jar of liquor.

Taking the liquor, Jiang Peihuan immediately poured it onto Xiao Nanye’s wound.

The intense pain jolted the man awake.

“Huan Er?”

Seeing the person beside his bed, Xiao Nanye looked momentarily dazed.

“Xiao Nanye, stay awake. I’m going to treat the poison. You can’t fall asleep.”

“Okay.”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Xiao Nanye gave a weak nod, but his gaze was still unfocused.

Initially, this poison could have been treated with herbal medicine, but too much time had elapsed.

Jiang Peihuan resorted to using silver needles to extract the toxins from his body, and then she planned to cut away the rotting flesh near his heart.

Upon examining the arrow near the man’s heart, Jiang Peihuan confirmed it was still a slight distance away from the vital organ, sighing in relief..
