Chapter 123: Really Unreliable Gu Chan was completely stunned. All the soldiers in the Tiger Camp also looked towards the border forest. At this time, a soldier rode a fast horse and rushed in from the camp. He stopped in front of the command building and reported, "General, it's not good. The Earth Moon Country launched a surprise attack. One hundred thousand troops have crossed the border forest and are heading straight for the Tiger Army camp." "Gather the troops to fight." Long Zhen waved his hand and gave the order. All the soldiers gathered together immediately, formed into well-trained teams, and rushed out of the camp towards the border forest. Huang Yue rushed downstairs again, clasped his fists and shouted, "General, I will lead the beast team to fight immediately." "No need, just take your men and guard the camp." "Ah? General, this..." "This is an order. The Beast Corps is under the command of your deputy general. You are no longer needed. While patrolling the camp, you should quickly heal the wound on your buttocks and be ready to take over the command of the deputy general at any time." "Yes, General."
When Huang Yue heard what Long Zhen said, he also felt that he was injured now and could not even ride a war horse on the battlefield, so he could only swallow his anger. Long Zhen turned to Gu Chan and said, "Go back to Wuheng County immediately, prepare a large amount of medicinal herbs, and be ready to receive the wounded at any time." "But General, I have no money!" Gu Chan spread his hands, looking helpless. "Go find the county magistrate and Mr. Wang and tell them that I asked you to ask them for money. If they dare not give it to me, I will punish them according to military law." Long Zhen shouted without any nonsense. Gu Chan quickly clasped his fists in response, feeling very happy. She was waiting for Long Zhen to say this! Anyway, she was quite poor now, so as long as she didn't have to pay, she would be happy to do anything. Long Zhen said no more. He immediately put on his armor, put on his sword, went downstairs to fight. Gu Chan followed him downstairs and watched him leave the camp with Xue Lihua and the soldiers. Only then did she prepare to leave with Zhou Dachuan. Huang Yue came over and blocked them. Gu Chan glared at him and shouted, "What? Didn't you feel satisfied after being beaten with twenty sticks?" "You little bastard, I'll remember this grudge you've taken today. You'd better not fall into my hands in the future, otherwise I'll make you pay." Huang Yue made a naked threat. After saying those harsh words, he turned around and left, suppressing his anger. Gu Chanli ignored him and quickly took Zhou Dachuan away from the Tiger Army camp and quickly returned to Wuheng County. An hour later. When the two of them arrived at Chunfeng Medical Clinic in Wuheng County, the two armies had already started a fierce battle in the border forest. The whole Wuheng County was instantly in a panic. Many shopkeepers in the market street began to close their shops and fled to the Central Plains with their families in horse-drawn carriages. Zhou Dachuan stood at the gate of Chunfeng Clinic, watching everyone fleeing, and couldn't help but say to Gu Chan, "It seems that we have to prepare to flee as well. The Diyue Kingdom is serious this time, and I don't know how long General Long and his men can hold out!" "Oh! I think you guys are so weird! General Long and his men are so powerful, why do you seem to have no idea that they will win at all?" Gu Chan said puzzledly. She had figured out something from the last time the Diyue Kingdom cavalry ambushed Jiuyang Village.
The border army was not weak, but it seemed that everyone had no confidence in Long Zhen and others. Once they heard the news of war, they felt like fleeing immediately. What's going on? Zhou Dachuan shook his head helplessly, "You are still young and don't understand the situation on the border. People don't distrust General Long and his men, but they distrust the county magistrate and Mr. Wang." “……”Gu Chan! Dry! She now understood it completely. Indeed, from her perspective, she would rather believe Long Zhen than Fatty Ding and Wang Feihu. However, right now Long Zhen and others are fighting a battle with 100,000 enemy troops, and the first line of defense has not been breached. It is unknown what will happen next. As the saying goes, when enemies come, we will fight them; when floods come, we will block them with earth. It is better not to worry in advance. Thinking of this, Gu Chan said directly to Zhou Dachuan, "Okay, Shopkeeper Zhou, don't think too much. We will definitely not escape for the time being. Go back and buy up herbs in large quantities. I will find a way to make money." "Well! We must prepare the herbs before tomorrow morning. If my guess is correct, a large number of wounded will be sent here for treatment as soon as tomorrow morning comes." Zhou Dachuan said worriedly. Gu Chan nodded quietly. The two didn't say anything more after that. Zhou Dachuan immediately said goodbye and went back to prepare the herbs. Gu Chan led everyone in the clinic to count the supplies and prepare everything that could be used, so that when there were really wounded people coming tomorrow, everyone would not be caught off guard. And in this anxious waiting, an entire afternoon passed. When it was almost dark, news finally came from the border. With Long Zhen and his troops bravely resisting, they temporarily blocked the first wave of fierce attacks by the enemy, but the corresponding price was that the border soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Many wounded soldiers were also transferred to Wuheng County one after another, and it would take at least the second half of the night for them to arrive in the county. After hearing the news, Wuheng County became even more chaotic, with more and more people fleeing. Ding Sheng and Wang Feihu sent all the people they could to guard the city walls, fearing that the enemy would attack. Inside Chunfeng Medical Clinic. Gu Chan looked at the situation in the city and became more and more worried. Ma Zheng was sitting next to her. Seeing how worried she was, he couldn't help but ask, "Boss, why are you so worried?" "What Manager Zhou said at noon was right. Fatty Ding and Wang Feihu are really unreliable. At this critical moment, instead of coming out to calm the panic of the people, they hid in their own mansion and sent people to the top of the city. They looked like they were completely afraid of death. If I were them, I would take people directly to the front line to transport the wounded and mobilize everyone to be a solid backing for General Long." Gu Chan looked towards the top of the city, smiled bitterly and sighed. Ma Zheng nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes! If they can do as the boss said, I'm afraid that so many people in the city will not choose to escape, but will work together with General Long to fight the enemy!" "Forget it. Let's ignore them. Let's do our job. Tell everyone that those who can rest should rest as soon as possible. The wounded will probably be sent in in the second half of the night. Everyone must be fully alert and treat the wounded then." Gu Chan waved her hand and ordered. Ma Zheng immediately went to inform everyone. Gu Chan was about to get up and go to the Wanqi Shop to ask the proprietress Qin Xiang to buy some weapons for everyone in the clinic to protect themselves. But what she didn't expect was that as soon as she walked out of the clinic, a guard from the Shen family rushed over on horseback and stopped her. Gu Chan looked at him and asked, "Brother Guard, what's the matter?" "Second Master, please come with me to the Shen Mansion right away. Something happened to the Third Master. He...he died..." the guard said anxiously. "what?" Gu Chan's eyes suddenly widened and she exclaimed in surprise, her face full of disbelief.
