Chapter 310: Chapter 310

Pei Shu’er sighed, picked up General Zhao’s severed arm and glanced at it, realizing that it was severed within the last hour.

Although General Zhao had lost a lot of blood, it was stopped in time by several military doctors, so it wasn’t too serious.

Pei Shu’er said, "Let me reattach General Zhao’s arm."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was first taken aback, then quickly looked at Pei Shu’er with disbelief in their eyes.

"Miss Pei, are you serious?"

Pei Shu’er nodded and said to everyone, "I’ll give it a try, but right now, you all need to give me space to operate, and leave a few people to assist me. Only then can I carry out the treatment."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at the military doctors, who nodded.

However, they still had some doubts that couldn’t be ignored.

"General Zhao’s arm has been severed for some time, and the bones are broken. It’s unlikely to be reattached successfully."

Pei Shu’er said, "How will we know if we don’t try?"

The military doctors exchanged glances, still visibly skeptical but understanding that General Zhao was a stabilizing presence here; he couldn’t have anything happen to him.

Even if he truly couldn’t be saved, they still had to put on this show. They couldn’t let others think they, as military doctors, were doing nothing, could they?

The others felt there was no hope, but the morale was already low, and if such discouraging words were spoken again, they feared the commanders might kill them.

The guard tower was quickly cleared, and the room was lit with braziers and some torches.

Pei Shu’er had previously checked General Zhao’s blood type, then found a few soldiers with the same blood type. She kept one soldier, intending to use him as a blood donor for General Zhao.

General Zhao briefly woke up before the surgery, and his eyes lit up when he saw Pei Shu’er.

Pei Shu’er nodded, and a smile appeared on General Zhao’s lips.

"I’m not cut out to be a general. Now that you and Tang Zan are here, the Gulan Military Camp is saved."

"Even if the Gulan Military Camp didn’t have me, it wouldn’t have been a total defeat."

Pei Shu’er said, "General Zhao, don’t say such nonsense now. Don’t worry, I will definitely reattach your arm properly."

General Zhao smiled faintly but said nothing.

Pei Shu’er inserted a few needles into General Zhao, stopping the bleeding and the pain.

Even now, the military doctors were still in awe of Pei Shu’er’s miraculous skills.

Pei Shu’er began the surgery to reattach the arm, performing it with extreme precision, ensuring every vein and bone fit together perfectly.

In the end, when Pei Shu’er sutured General Zhao’s arm, the military doctors still felt as if they were in a dream.

What kind of medical skill had they just witnessed?

Her medical skills were incredibly skilled, her actions so practiced as if she’d done it countless times.

Moreover, everyone could sense a calm aura from her.

It felt as if, in her eyes, no matter how major the surgery, it was just an ordinary operation.

Watching Pei Shu’er perform surgery, they felt they learned a lot. The techniques, the suturing skills, and the handling of emergencies.

At this moment, Pei Shu’er smiled and looked at them.

"Don’t worry. Even if General Zhao’s hand can’t recover completely, it will still be enough for daily tasks."

Pei Shu’er sutured General Zhao’s arm, applied Spiritual Spring Water, and then bandaged it.

Fortunately, there was no significant bleeding during the surgery, so no blood transfusion was needed.

The soldier who was kept aside had nothing to do and retreated accordingly.

Afterward, everyone took turns caring for General Zhao. When General Zhao woke up, he was fed some food.

But everyone came in a rush, and aside from some food brought by the Fire Head Army, there was nothing to eat here.

However, that food could barely last until tomorrow morning.

Pei Shu’er looked at the Dazi carrying away their provisions, her face turning grim.

"I know the walls I built; logically, they shouldn’t be able to get in."

The Third Prince stood behind Pei Shu’er, looking disheveled and grim-faced.

"This matter, to speak of it, was done by the Tang Family’s elder branch. Tang Peizhong, Tang Qingrou, and Mrs. Li bribed the guards in this camp and let a few Dazi in. The Dazi in the camp disguised themselves as soldiers and colluded with those people from inside and outside, opening the city gates."

Pei Shu’er knew that the original story included the elder branch’s betrayal, but it didn’t mention specifics.

She had also tried to find the members of the elder branch before, but this whole family had disappeared into the Gulan Mountain Range.

She hadn’t expected that even after all this, the elder branch could still stir up this situation.

Thus, she realized the power of the plot’s influence.

Indeed, is the plot irreversible?

Fortunately, the elder branch’s story is almost over.

However, her own storyline is also nearing the end.

She nodded mildly, not saying much to the Third Prince. Tang Zan had already arrived, and when he saw her standing with the Third Prince, his face turned cold.

Pei Shu’er was pulled aside by Tang Zan, and she didn’t speak.

She looked at Tang Zan, her eyes showing an unfamiliar reluctance that Tang Zan had never seen before.

Tang Zan slightly curved his lips, and when no one was looking, he leaned in to kiss Pei Shu’er’s lips.

Then, Tang Zan raised an eyebrow and looked at the pale-faced Third Prince, who was watching Pei Shu’er from the side.

There was some pride and wariness in his eyes as he held Pei Shu’er tightly.

Pei Shu’er shook her head, smiled faintly, and said nothing.

Tang Zan noticed the sadness and lingering gaze in her eyes.

He subconsciously grasped Pei Shu’er’s hand.

He felt that the little woman he held was showing signs of being uncontrollable.

This feeling made him uneasy.

An hour later, General Zhao had awakened.

General Zhao found that the guard tower was warm, and a few soldiers lay around haphazardly. His gaze instinctively moved to his right hand.

Seeing his hand still there, he was first stunned and then widened his eyes in shock.

Having gone without water for a long time, his voice was very hoarse.

The military doctor looked at General Zhao and quickly said, "This hand was reattached by Mrs. Tang. In about two months, it will be able to move again."

However, when saying the latter part, the military doctor was noticeably lacking confidence.

He felt it was unlikely to regain movement; it wasn’t even connected at all—the bone was severed.

How could it possibly move again?

Even if it was stitched now, so what? It’s just an ornament.

The hand might start rotting naturally in a few days.

Then, it might become even more serious. Follow current novels on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⁂𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⁂𝓷𝓮𝓽

General Zhao nodded, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

Pei Shu’er placed the medicine in General Zhao’s left hand.

"General Zhao, this medication is for inflammation and pain relief. You can take some first, so it won’t be too difficult."

General Zhao took the medicine, then turned his gaze to Tang Zan.

"I hereby appoint Tang Zan as Acting Deputy General. From now on, he will lead everyone through this crisis."
