Chapter 1984 Traveler Feng
Chapter 1984 Traveler Feng
Some soldiers felt unwilling to stop, but because it was the order from Shangguan Xiao, they could only lower their weapon and slowly returned. General Ma led his soldiers away, knowing full well that this defeat will surely be spread once more. He felt greatly ashamed as he definitely had lost Shi Long Kingdom’s face that they had just gained back. But at the very least, they still kept their lives. “General, why are we retreating in the face of victory?”
“It’s already midday. Everyone had come over in a hurry and hadn’t rested all night. If we have to chase after General Ma, we’ll only waste more stamina.” Shangguan Xiao had calculated this much. “Set up a camp at the front area and ordered the soldiers to go there.”
“Yes, General.”
This is Fei Yang Kingdom’s victory.
But looking at the soldiers who were injured and limped, Shangguan Xiao furrowed his eyebrow. He knew full well that it was not going to be an easy task. Especially because one of the reasons why he let this battle happened was because he wanted to let his brother’s soldiers to vent their emotions. However, they simply didn’t care for their lives when they charged forward to fight against Shi Long Kingdom’s soldiers just now. It was terrifying. ‘At least, they can vent their emotions, but I don’t want them to throw away their lives.’
Shangguan Xiao felt headache and then waved his hand to let these injured soldiers be treated first. He needed enough manpower to hold on the border, so at the very least, he had to make sure that there were not many soldiers who died during the confrontation against Shi Long Kingdom. ‘What should I do now?’
As Shangguan Xiao inspected their camp, that was built by the soldiers who were part of the second ambush and the rest were recovering, a soldier suddenly rushed towards him. “General Shangguan, there’s a traveler who want to meet you.”
“Traveler?” Shangguan Xiao was confused when he heard this. There were travelers at the border of the two kingdoms at war?
No, more importantly, what is he doing here?
“Yes, he requested to meet you.”
“Did he give any reason?” Shangguan Xiao was already having enough headache at this time and didn’t want to add more troubles.
“Well, he said that he’s a doctor and wanted to help…”
A doctor out here?
Does he think that he’s Traveling Doctor Liu?
Shangguan Xiao’s lips twitched slightly. He knew very well that Traveling Doctor Liu was last sighted at the north of Fei Yang Kingdom or perhaps had already moved to Fan Yi Kingdom by now. No one could say for sure where this enigmatic doctor would end up because he always had his own plans when he was going and no one could guess his destination. To be honest, Shangguan Xiao really wanted to let that man go and not meet him, but in the end, he still went. He saw a young man in his mid twenties standing with a big wooden bag on his back. He was wearing light brown robe and looked like a scholar. Seeing his outfit, one would rather think that he was someone who was planning to become an official rather than a doctor. The young man looked in Shangguan Xiao’s direction and smiled. “Traveler Feng greeted Fei Yang Kingdom’s general.”
“My name is Shangguan Xiao, Traveler Feng,” Shangguan Xiao replied. “May I ask why did you come here?”
“General Shangguan,” Traveler Feng replied politely. “I’ve been living in the cities around the area and noticed the battle not long ago, so I come forward to ask whether it’s possible for me to help a bit… not for free of course. I need some money.”
Shangguan Xiao looked at the traveler in front of him and then asked, “Is there any way for me to confirm your identity first? I can’t let any random doctor come to treat my soldiers.”
“Ah, right. My name is Feng Qing Lan, I’m Traveling Doctor Liu’s disciple and this is my discipleship token and my practice token,” Traveler Feng, Feng Qing Lan, took out two different tokens and showed them to Shangguan Xiao. Traveling Doctor Liu’s disciple?
Shangguan Xiao had met with Traveling Doctor Liu and naturally knew that Traveling Doctor Liu have several disciples who lived all across the land. No one knew for sure how many disciples he actually had without meeting them right on.
At the same time, he used to have Traveling Doctor Liu’s token, so he could see that the token from Feng Qing Lan was indeed a genuine token.
The writing from Traveling Doctor Liu couldn’t be faked. The other one was the practice token, the token that let others know that the doctor could be trusted in certain places. Each place usually has their own criteria and looking at the token in his hand, Shangguan Xiao knew that this token belong to Shi Long Kingdom.
“Doctor Feng, you’re a doctor from Shi Long Kingdom, right?” Shangguan Xiao asked with difficulties. “If you’re their doctor, I don’t think that I can trust you.”
Traveling Doctor Liu was indeed a person who would not side with any kingdom, but his disciples couldn’t be said to be the same. At the very least, he knew that they were all not required to follow the same thoughts as Traveling Doctor Liu.
Some of them had high position in their own kingdom, so they would serve their kingdoms instead of becoming a traveler like him. “I did come from Shi Long Kingdom, but I’m not affiliated with them.” Feng Qing Lan scratched the back of his head. “If anything, Shi Long Kingdom didn’t really need me when they already have my junior sister who’s their princess.”
Shangguan Xiao’s lips twitched. This young man didn’t seem to realize that he was telling the secret that Shi Long Kingdom wanted to keep. After all, while Princess Luo’s medical capability was made known, the fact that she was Traveling Doctor Liu’s disciple was not.
