From Jinling to Xuanhua in Hebei Province was a two-thousand-mile journey. Zhu Su traveled day and night, changing horses along the way. It took him five days and four nights to reach his destination.
When he appeared outside the camp of the Northern Expedition Army, he was discovered by the patrolling soldiers. Zhu Su licked his dry lips and explained his identity.
The skeptical officer ordered the soldiers to carry him onto a stretcher and bring him back to the barracks. He carefully watched him while he went to report to his superior.
When Xu Da, who was sorting out military affairs in the commander's tent, received the news and heard the identity of the person, he was so shocked that he stood up from his seat.
The two of them finally met in Xu Da's tent.
" Your Highness Wu Wang, you actually…" Xu Da looked at the person lying on the stretcher.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Looking at Zhu Su's miserable state, Xu Da hurriedly ordered,""Call the military doctor to treat His Highness!”
" No…no defense…" Although he had suffered a lot on the way, Zhu Su didn't plan to tire himself to death like running 800 miles. He had a good habit of carrying a huge sum of money when he went out. Zhu Su bought good horses and ran very efficiently, which gave him enough time to rest.
Therefore, although he looked a little miserable, his body was basically fine.
"Uncle Xu, where's Uncle Chang?" Zhu Su only hoped that he was still in time.
"Old Chang? He's fine? I saw him patrolling the camp last night." Xu Da was somewhat helpless and somewhat incredulous."Your Highness, could it be that you were worried about sending a letter, so you specially rushed over?”
Heavens, His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress would never let Zhu Su come alone.
In other words, there was an 80% chance that this kid ran out on his own.
Xu Da already didn't know what to say.
"I want to see him, I want to see him!" Zhu Su was helped up by a soldier beside him. After being fed a few mouthfuls of water, he could not wait to meet Chang Yuchun.
In the end, just as he finished speaking, he saw a person who looked like a general hurriedly walk into Xu Da's commander's tent after the announcement.
When this person saw Xu Da, he immediately knelt on the ground without a word."Great Marshal, the Great General suddenly fell off his horse today and is still unconscious. I called the military doctor to take a closer look and said that he had contracted the Armor Removal Wind.
But a few days ago, when this subordinate saw the doctor changing the dressing of the Great General who had been injured by an arrow, the wound was a little pus. The doctor only cut off the rotting flesh and reapplied the Golden Wound Medicine. But today, when this subordinate removed the bandage and took a look, the general's wound was already oozing pus! This subordinate is worried…"
The general's voice became a little choked when he finished speaking.
As for Xu Da, his entire body trembled. His face turned white as he turned to look at Zhu Su. In his eyes, besides shock, there was also sorrow.
They were all men who had been through many battles. Whether Chang Yuchun could survive in this situation was already up to fate in their eyes.
Zhu Su pursed his lips and was silent for a while. Suddenly, he said,""Uncle Xu, I want to see Uncle Chang.”
With that, he stood up with the help of the soldiers beside him.
Xu Da glanced at Zhu Su when he heard that. Although Zhu Su's expression was a little complicated, he still nodded and brought Xu Da to Chang Yuchun's tent without saying a word.
When Xu Da and the others arrived outside Chang Yuchun's tent, they realized that it was already surrounded by people.
Xu Da swept his gaze over them. They were all Chang Yuchun's subordinates."Get lost."
"Marshal!" One of Chang Yuchun's personal guards suddenly knelt on the ground. He didn't know Zhu Su's identity, so he asked Xu Da,""This humble servant requests marshal's permission to let us go to Xuanhua City to invite a famous doctor to treat marshal!”
The personal guard's words were undoubtedly somewhat offensive, but the doctors in the army were all at a loss. The most they said was," The Great General is blessed with great fortune. Perhaps he can survive this calamity..."
These words made them want to curse!
What if an accident happened?
The Great General who had brought them through life and death was now at stake. How could they not do anything?
"I'll say it again. Get lost. Otherwise, you'll be punished by military law!”Xu Da merely swept his gaze over them, and everyone lowered their heads.
Someone even started sobbing softly.
Xu Da did not pay attention to them. He turned to Zhu Su and said softly,""Your Highness, follow me in."
Although Xu Da was full of questions about why Zhu Su had appeared here and why he had warned them to take care of their health, Xu Da would rather keep some words to himself as long as Zhu Su did not mention it on his own initiative.
In Chang Yuchun's tent, Chang Yuchun was still unconscious on the camp bed. Among his subordinates, those who were above the rank of general were all present. They were nervously asking a few famous doctors in the army about the general's condition.
Seeing Xu Da, everyone bowed."Join the marshal."
Xu Da turned his head and pointed at Zhu Su, who came in from behind. Just as he was about to say something, Zhu Su stretched out his hand and pressed down on his arm."Let's talk about Uncle Chang's situation first.”
Xu Da didn't say much. He turned to look at the old man who had just checked Chang Yuchun's pulse."How is it?"
Like the others, the old man glanced at Zhu Su in surprise and then said," General, the general is indeed suffering from the Armor Removal Wind. Besides, the arrow wound on his back is infected. But the most important thing is-"
The old man paused. He did not want to create panic, but he had to report truthfully,"The Great General is most likely infected with malaria.”
When Xu Da heard this, his expression turned shocked.
"Malacia? Malacia?" For the first time, he looked panicked.
" General, I suspect that when we were chasing after the remnants of the Mengyuan, they infected the water source with sick cows and sheep. General, you don't drink much sewage. I suggest that we immediately order the distribution of supplies and make preparations in advance to gather the soldiers infected with malaria in one place. Otherwise…"
The old man did not continue. He was an old man who had followed Zhu Yuanzhang to war. In the past, when such a situation occurred, the army's method of handling it was one word: Kill anyone who gets sick.
At that time, the Revolutionary Army wasn't as wealthy as they were now, so they had no choice but to do this.
And now?
Gather the infected soldiers together and treat them the same way as before?
Apart from Zhu Su, everyone else turned their gazes to Xu Da.
Even Xu Da, such a decisive and ruthless figure, fell silent for a moment.
At this moment, a voice rang out in the tent.
"There's no need to panic. I'll think of a way to cure Uncle Chang's illness. If any soldiers contract malaria, tell them to move to another camp. This king has a way to save them!”
