Chapter 21: What Can You Do?

  Liu Zhang had the soldiers carry Yan Wu Tie into the big tent, put him on the bed, and then Xiao Fu Rong and the military doctor followed in. Liu Zhang roughly described the speed of blood transfusion to the military doctor, and then let the military doctor take action.

  Liu Zhang didn't dare to have too much hope, he just hoped that Xiao Furong, as the daughter of Ye Wu Tie, would have the same blood type, and that there wouldn't be any accidents during the transfusion process. As soon as Xiao Furong heard that they wanted to draw her blood, she rolled up her sleeves without saying a word.

  The military doctor searched for half a day and found some medical equipment that could replace the blood transfusion tube Liu Zhang had mentioned. After disinfecting the needle, he inserted it into Xiao Furen's and Ye Wuti's wrists. Xiao Furen placed her hand on the frame, and the blood slowly flowed into Ye Wuti's body. As soon as the blood entered his body, Ye Wuti's body shook violently, startling the military doctor, and Liu Zhang also changed color in an instant, thinking that there was an adverse reaction. Fortunately, it only lasted for a few seconds before calming down.

  Half an hour passed, nothing unusual happened, Ye Wu Tie gradually regained a bit of color, Liu Zhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while Xiao Fu Rong's face turned pale, her hands on the frame began to lose strength, and her head felt dizzy.

  "Let me check your pulse again, can the iron in your blood maintain your bodily functions?" Liu Zhang looked like he was about to faint, and Xiao Fu Rong, who was propping up his body with great effort, couldn't help but feel some sympathy.

  The military doctor felt the pulse and then looked at the tongue coating, flipped his eyelids, and said to Liu Zhang: "Your Excellency, this method is really effective. The barbarian's body is recovering, but he may still need some blood. This barbarian's body is too big."

  "Then let's lose again." Liu Zhang didn't say much, quietly sitting on one side, looking at Xiao Furen's slightly trembling lips, and involuntarily tightening the teacup in his hand, the tea inside almost spilling out. This girl was carefree, but her strength at critical moments touched people's hearts.

  Just then, a commotion was heard outside. Liu Zhang frowned and hastily went out to see what it was. He saw two generals leading over a hundred soldiers, who had arrived with torches. As soon as they saw Liu Zhang, they bowed their heads and said: "The guilty general Li Yi (Pang Tong) has brought the head of Zhao Wei to surrender. We hope that our lord will accept us and pardon our past crimes."

  Li Yi finished speaking, raised his hands high and held out a black package. The soldier took it over, opened the package, and inside was a head dripping with dark blood. Liu Zhang glanced at it and said to Pang Le and Li Yi in a neutral tone: "You've really worked hard."

  Pang Le and Li Yi immediately knocked their heads and said: "The subordinate's move was only to atone for past sins, hoping that the lord will forgive. Moreover, the Five Streams barbarians opposed our lord, we originally wanted to take down the barbarian king Yu Wu Tie Ren's head, but unfortunately let him escape. However, the subordinate has already slaughtered the barbarian stronghold clean, to demonstrate the great Han heavenly power."

  "Ah~~" Liu Zhang let out a sigh of relief, just about to speak when Xiao Furan stumbled out, trembling. Liu Zhang furrowed his brow and signaled the two soldiers with his eyes. The two soldiers hastily stepped forward to support her, but were pushed away by Xiao Furan. Having lost too much blood and using too much force, Xiao Furan almost fell over.

  Xiao Furong walked up to Li Yi and Pang Le, saying in a hateful tone: "You two ungrateful and treacherous scoundrels, do you know who I am now?"

  Li Yi and Pang Le were both shocked to see Xiao Furan, with many guesses flashing through their minds. Li Yi thought for a moment, then bowed to Liu Zhang: "Congratulations, my lord, on capturing the female barbarian leader. Now that the You Creek barbarians have been completely eliminated, and the remaining generals will be incorporated into Zhao Wei's old unit, Shu can be guaranteed to be peaceful and stable for a long time."

  Pang Tong bowed and said: "I am willing to serve as your vanguard and rearguard, until death."

  "You two dog thieves." Xiang Furong said, drawing her treasured sword and preparing to charge over, but was blocked by Yang Huai and Leng Qian. Xiang Furong had lost too much blood and didn't have the strength, struggling in vain, only staring at Liu Zhang with wide eyes.

  Liu Zhang didn't look at Xiao Fu Rong, gazing at the two kneeling rebel generals in front of him, and chuckled. He half-squatted down to speak to Pang Le: "Die after falling off the horse, General Pang, have you also said this to Zhao Wei?"

  "This..." Pang Le raised his head and looked at Liu Zhang, speechless.

  Liu Zhang stood up and calmly said to Zhang Ren: "The rebels have been captured. Take these two people away and kill them."

  "This..." Yang Hua felt that Zhao Wei had controlled the southern part of Yi Province for many years, and with these two old subordinates recruiting rebel troops, the situation would be easier to control. He was about to advise, but Zhang Ren stopped him. Although he still didn't understand Liu Zhang's intention, Zhang Ren believed that Liu Zhang did this for a reason.

  Pang Tong and Liu Yi, upon hearing that Liu Zhang wanted to kill them, Pang Tong cried out: "My lord, we are meritorious! In the past, surrendering to the enemy was unavoidable. We beg our lord to spare our lives!"

  Liu Zhang coldly snorted and said: "Having exhausted all means of escape and turned against his lord, what use is he to keep?"

  Pang Le was speechless, Li Yi glanced at Xiao Furan and then at Liu Zhang. His eyes rolled over, and he suddenly realized something, shouting loudly: "Your Excellency, you must not abandon the great cause because of a woman! Now that Yizhou is in chaos in the south, and the northern bandits are constantly invading, we can still share your worries for Your Excellency! Your Excellency has great talent and vision, and should know that beauty can be a national calamity!"

  Li Yi suddenly shouted, causing the soldiers to look at him in surprise. Not only the ordinary soldiers, but also Yang Huai and Leng Xiao, felt that Liu Zhang had killed Li Pang's two men for Xiang Fu Rong's sake. Otherwise, why did he catch Xiang Fu Rong several times and let her go, and even treated her father's wounds? Was there any other explanation besides being infatuated with this barbarian woman?

  Xiao Furan also looked at Liu Zhang, with a complex expression.

  Liu Zhang ignored all these gazes, and calmly said to Li Yi: "General Li, this official is indeed indulging in lust, what can you do? Bring him out and behead him."

  "Yes." Immediately, the two men rushed forward and dragged Pang Tong and Li Yi out of the military camp. Li Yi shouted all the way: "Beauty brings disaster to the country, Liu Zhang is doomed to perish, doomed to perish, ah..."

  Li Yi and Pang Le were beheaded, Liu Zhang didn't say a word, and walked straight into the military tent where Ye Wu was treating his wounds. Xiao Fu Rong looked at Liu Zhang's back, hesitated, but since it was her own father after all, she could only follow him in.

  Liu Zhang asked the old military doctor: "How is Ye Wu's iron wound?"

  The old military doctor bowed and said, "Master, this barbarian's life is temporarily saved, but he was seriously injured. If he can't continue to treat his wounds within three days, I'm afraid he will be disabled in the future."

  Xiao Furen hastily said, "In our Wuxi Man Zhencui tribe, there is a doctor named Aguda who specializes in external injuries. If we invite him to come, he should be able to help Father set his bones." Xiao Furen's emotions were fluctuating wildly, and her voice became much softer.

  The old military doctor said, "It's okay for now, but this is not the key. The toxicity of the Ye Wei Hong in this barbarian's body has not dissipated, it's just that he's as strong as an ox, so the toxin hasn't spread out yet. Even if his external injuries are healed, I'm afraid he won't live for much longer."

  Xiao Furan's heart skipped a beat, she had already thought of this outcome, but still couldn't help feeling sad, tears slowly falling from the corners of her eyes. Liu Zhang looked at him and asked the military doctor: "Is there no way at all?"

  The old military doctor sighed and said: "We can only save his life, at most for a month."
