The medicine in the medicine bowl exudes a bitter taste and was black, in color.

Originally, he thought this was a life-saving medicine, but who knows it was a deadly poison.

Marshal Wang stared at the medicine for a while and then suddenly said: “Bai Zhi, come here.”

Bai Zhi, who was standing behind the guard, came out. She was petite so she can hide enough behind the two guards. When Doctor Gong came in, he didn’t realize that there was one more person in the tent.

Bai Zhi walked towards Marshal Wang, and the two guards followed behind her.

Doctor Gong looked curious: “This is?”

Marshal Wang said: “He is Shen Junyi’s apprentice, Bai Zhi.”

Doctor Gong’s complexion slightly changed: Shen Junyi’s apprentice? In other words, he is also a doctor?

“What is he doing here?” Doctor Gong’s tone immediately turned cold by three points, as if he was the master of this big tent.

Marshal Wang sneered inside his heart. He can’t hide his tail for long?

“Just now, Vice General Zhang saw me feeling uncomfortable. He didn’t see your shadow, so he went to ask Shen Junyi. Shen Junyi was not there, but he learned that his apprentice had good medical skills, and so he brought him over.”

Doctor Gong’s facial expression became more and more serious: “Did he check your condition?”

Marshal Wang shook his head: “Not yet, he has just arrived.”

Doctor Gong was relieved, and a slight smile appeared on his face: “Since I’m already here, you don’t need to trouble yourself. Please go back now!” Doctor Gong said to Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi shook her head: “That can’t be done. My master and Marshal are old friends. If I won’t check Marshal after I’ve come, my master will scold me when I go back.”

Marshal Wang immediately followed her words: “Come here, you check it!” After saying those words, he extended his hand.

Bai Zhi squatted down and was about to buckle Marshal Wang’s wrist armor. When Doctor Gong saw it, he felt anxious. He immediately reached out and grabbed Bai Zhi’s arm, then said in a deep voice, “No need, can’t you understand what I said?”

Bai Zhi looked at him sideways and asked with a smile: “What are you afraid of?”

Doctor Gong was shocked, and then he realized that he was out of place. He quickly released his hand, but his eyes were filled with panic: “Afraid? What should I be afraid of? Marshal is an honorable person. But you, a little brat calling yourself a doctor? Are you playing a doctor here?”

Bai Zhi stood up straight and slightly raised her head, then she stared at Doctor Gong with clear eyes and said: “I think you are afraid, afraid that I might diagnose another disease? Or maybe, it’s not a disease at all, right? ”

Doctor Gong’s face drastically changed and took two steps backward. His finger that he pointed at Bai Zhi couldn’t help but tremble: “You, what nonsense are you talking about?”

“Nonsense? If I am talking nonsense, why Gong Dafu is getting excited? Did I accidentally hit the point?” Although she deliberately lowered her voice to make it sound manly, still it was a lot softer. However, when Doctor Gong heard him said ‘Gong Dafu’, he felt like he was struck by lightning, making him felt dizzy and confused.

As long as two days pass, he doesn’t need to be afraid of anything. He can return safely to the capital. Can’t they just leave him alone in these two days?

“Who the hell are you? Why are you here?” After losing himself from a brief moment, Doctor Gong recovered his mind and started to fight back.

Bai Zhi picked up the medicine bowl on the table and pulled it close to her nose and smelled it: “Hmm, ice plant seed, seven fruit, scorpion-tail flower… … and ginkgo?”

Doctor Gong was so surprised: Who is this boy? Why does he know everything?

After a long silence, Marshal Wang finally opened his mouth: “Why? Is there something wrong with this medicine?”
