Chapter 70 Imperial Physician
He had previously felt that the two young ladies, Meng Wanyi and Meng Wanyi, possessed extraordinary medical and alchemical skills, showing the demeanor of masters, and their knowledge was systematic, far surpassing that of many unorthodox doctors in the folk.
Now he finally understood that the two girls were actually disciples of the imperial physicians of the current dynasty. Their lineage was truly extraordinary.
"Thank you for your help, young hero. My disciple and granddaughter were saved from danger. Please accept my bow."
The old man, with his white hair and beard, immediately stepped forward and bowed to Zhao An after learning the whole story, showing no airs of an elder.
"Senior, there's no need for that." Zhao An stepped forward, raised his hand, and helped the old man up.
He glanced at the brightly lit name above his head out of the corner of his eye.
[Meng Zhongren (speaking)]
The surging light of merit not only appeared on his name, but also surrounded him, making the old man seem like a celestial being descended to earth, transcending worldly affairs!
Ultimately, this light of merit gathered at the top of his head, transforming into a beam of light over ten feet high!
Looking at the pillar of light that was three or four meters high, Zhao An fell silent.
The six-foot-long light emanating from the previous new magistrate was the most impressive he had ever seen, but the one before him now was the one to replace him, the King of Merit that Zhao An had ever seen!
Zhao An could vaguely discern the merits behind the old man's actions.
Part of it was using medicine and alchemy to help the world and save people, but more importantly, it was the inheritance of his lifelong learning. The medical books and prescriptions he wrote have truly benefited hundreds of millions of people in the Great Wu Dynasty for decades!
The latter is the key factor that makes his merits so high.
It can be said that this person has done a great service to the world!
This confirms what Zhao An thought.
Those with great influence often receive far more good or bad deeds than ordinary people.
Officials are like this, and so is this old imperial physician.
"I already knew the two Miss Mengs, and I helped them out of friendship," Zhao An said.
"You're saying you killed all the Moon People here by yourself?" A general, still on horseback, asked from above, his tone stiff, as if he didn't believe Zhao An's words.
This is indeed hard to believe.
Nearly a hundred Moon people corpses, including several Moon people leaders capable of transforming into Moon beasts, not to mention the fleeing Moon army.
Given such a large number of people, Zhao An claimed that he single-handedly repelled them all, and these generals instinctively chose not to believe him.
The reason they didn't believe it was entirely because they thought they couldn't do it, and they didn't believe that Zhao An, a commoner, could do it at such a young age.
"Are there any other martial artists here besides me?"
Zhao An glanced at the general who had asked the question, his tone casual, as if to say that the other party was blind.
"I'm asking you a question, so just tell me the truth. If you dare to conceal anything, I will not let you off lightly!" The general reined in his horse and took two steps forward, rebuking him in a deep voice.
Zhao An's expression grew cold. The murderous aura emanating from his body from the recent massacre had not yet dissipated, creating a bloody atmosphere that startled the general's horse, causing it to retreat repeatedly.
"You!" The general, who was also hot-tempered, felt humiliated and became furious, wanting to dismount and capture Zhao An.
"Xinma!" But at this moment, the leading general spoke up, restraining the general and preventing him from continuing to cause trouble.
Zhao An looked at the general, then at the general leading the army.
[Cao Xinma (Gray)] [Cao Yuanzhan (Gray)]
Neither of them had a red name, and the other generals were at most gray; they were not heinous villains.
However, not being a red name doesn't mean you're immune to death in front of Zhao An!
If you stand against him and oppose him at every turn, he doesn't care whether the other person's name is gray or white. If you become his enemy, you must be prepared to be killed by him.
Fortunately, the general named Cao Xinma did not dare to be presumptuous in front of his general in charge of the army. After being stopped, he dared not order Zhao Anyi around anymore.
"Have we met before?" General Cao Yuanzhan suddenly asked Zhao An.
"General, you have a good memory. I once visited the magistrate's residence and saw you there," Zhao An said calmly.
After the incident with Hu Dingtian, he really didn't have a good impression of these officers from the prefectural city.
Even if they weren't in the red-name category, their arrogance still displeased him, and he didn't want to deal with them much.
"What's your name? I'll put in a good word for you when we get back to the city," Cao Yuanzhan asked without changing his expression.
Zhao An whistled, and the horse that had been grazing at a distance immediately galloped back. He then mounted the horse.
"There's no need to trouble yourself to claim credit for me. I only hope that the generals can defeat these hateful Moon Clan troops as soon as possible."
After saying that, Zhao An immediately rode away.
As for Meng Wanyi and the other two girls, they no longer needed his protection.
Meng Zhongren watched Zhao An leave, and couldn't help but stroke his beard and smile, a smile that revealed a hint of appreciation.
"With such high spirits and carefree riding, one can truly live up to the promise of youth."
Upon hearing this, Meng Wanyi smiled.
"Master, you may not know this, but this person possesses many other wonders and has extraordinary abilities."
"Oh?" Meng Zhongren glanced at Meng Wanyi a few more times, until his disciple blushed and became a little shy. He didn't point out the girl's feelings.
"It's good that you're capable; this world just happens to need extraordinary people like you..."
Meanwhile, Zhao An rode his horse back into the city.
Along the way, he also saw many groups of warhorses galloping around the county town, with smoke signals rising everywhere.
Especially in the distant Mangshui Bay area, cavalry battalions from the prefectural city were crisscrossing the area, searching for the whereabouts of the Moon Clan army.
The chaos and turmoil outside the city can only be witnessed after leaving the city.
"Brother, the caravan has successfully taken the scholar away," Zhao Chunzi, who had returned early, reported.
Li Gou'er, who was standing nearby, noticed that Zhao An seemed to have gone through another fierce battle and cautiously asked, "Brother Zhao, are you alright?"
"It's alright." Zhao An didn't say anything more.
He was indeed quite tired. After a quick shower, he went back to the inner room and lay down to rest.
Of course, he could sleep soundly, but some people couldn't.
The inner city, the Hu family.
The head of the family, Hu Chongguang, paced back and forth, his brows furrowing more and more deeply as the night deepened.
Seeing the old butler hurrying over, he immediately grabbed his arm and asked.
"Is there any news about Tian'er?"
"Our men have been searching the city for a long time, but they haven't found the young master..." the old butler said, bowing his head with some trepidation.
"Where could she have gone that day?!" Hu Chongguang became increasingly uneasy.
With chaos erupting outside the city, he worried that Hu Dingtian's actions might have gone wrong.
At this point, the old butler hesitated, but finally spoke.
"Master, there's one more thing... The men who were staking out the city gates have sent word that Zhao An has returned..."
"What!" Hu Chongguang exclaimed in surprise.
Zhao Andu is back, but there's still no news about Hu Dingtian?
"Are you sure Zhao An went out of the city this morning to see that scholar off?" Hu Chongguang kept asking, confirming again and again.
"Absolutely true," the old butler said with a bitter face.
Zhao Andu, who saw Li Tianhuai off, returned safely, but Hu Dingtian's whereabouts remained unknown.
How could this not make people overthink and feel uneasy?
