Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 95

Chapter 95: She Would Be Angry With Me
Jian Liu turned to look at Xuan Ruiquan, lowered his head, and replied, “There is a young lady named Duan Yixin from Yunshan Village who knows where Hui Xiang is. This subordinate agreed to do something for her in exchange for her telling us Hui Xiang’s location.”

Xuan Ruiquan heard his answer and was silent for a few seconds before asking, “What does she want you to do?”

“Miss Duan asked us to warn an old man named Master Chen from the Chen family’s village near Yun Mountain not to force her to marry him.” Jian Liu answered calmly without looking at Jian Er, while Jian Er kept blinking at him to signal him to stop talking.

As he finished speaking, the temperature in the spacious tent dropped sharply. Jian Liu felt the change in temperature and raised his eyes.

He was a little confused when he saw Xuan Ruiquan’s body was shrouded by cold, murderous intent and thought, ‘Why did Master suddenly become angry? Was he angry because we accepted a mission from Miss Duan? Will he punish me and the others? No, I can’t let Master punish Shiwu and the others because this is my decision.’

When Jian Liu was thinking about how to beg for mercy for Shiwu and the others, Jian Er, who was standing behind Xuan Ruiquan, looked at Jian Liu’s confused eyes and couldn’t help but groan inside his heart.

After a long silence, Xuan Ruiquan asked, “That old man– Have you dealt with him?”

Jian Liu nodded and said, “Reporting to Master. Before leaving Yunshan Village, this subordinate met with one of our brothers and asked him to take care of the old man while this subordinate and others brought Hui Xiang back.”

“Who is he?” Xuan Ruiquan asked again.

Jian Liu said, “He is one of Jian Yi’s subordinates from the First Division, ranked sixty-sixth.”

After getting his answer, Xuan Ruiquan said, “All right. You can leave.”

Jian Liu clasped his fists and said, “Yes, Master.”

After Jian Liu left, Xuan Ruiquan looked at the generals and said, “We will set off immediately after the soldiers recover. Go and make the preparations.”

The generals clasped their fists and said, “Yes, Commander!”

After all the generals left, Jian Er glanced at his Master. Seeing Xuan Ruiquan’s cold expression, he thought for a moment and asked cautiously, “Master, do you want to go to Yunshan Village?”

Xuan Ruiquan did not answer his question but also didn’t deny it. His silence equals affirmation.

Jian Er was silent for a moment, then plucked up his courage and asked again, “Master, do you want to go there because of Miss Duan? Haven’t you already gone there once and said she’s not the young lady you are looking for?”

Xuan Ruiquan glanced at him, and Jian Er hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, “This subordinate has crossed the line. Please forgive me, Master.”

Xuan Ruiquan stared at Jian Er for a few seconds and then withdrew his gaze. He was not angry because of Jian Er’s curious questions, but he had a secret that could not be known by others, including his trusted secret guard.

After a long silence, Xuan Ruiquan said, “Get up.”

Jian Er secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Thank you, Master.”

Two hours later, Quan Zhengqian came to visit Xuan Ruiquan in the commander’s tent. When he walked into the tent with a smile on his face, Xuan Ruiquan asked, “Is the matter finished?”

Quan Zhengqian nodded and said, “Yes. I checked the patients and found that there was no more poison in their bodies. Thanks to the prescription you gave me, the number of victims can be minimized.”

After speaking, he sat on one of the wooden stools, poured himself a cup of water, and asked curiously, “Ruiquan, can you tell me where you got the prescription for this poison? As far as I know, there is no antidote for this poison.”

He thought for a while and added, “According to the rumors circulating in Jiang Hu, the Xiong Nu attacked the Xia Kingdom because they believed that this poison came from their soil and water. In order to save his people, the King of the Xiong Nu decided to launch a war against the Xia Empire even though he knew he had no chance of winning.”

Hearing this, Xuan Ruiquan raised his eyes from the battlefield map, looked at his friend, and said, “I have already told you. I got it from a divine physician that I met by chance. As for the reason why the Xiong Nu launched a war against us, I don’t care. My duty is to protect my people and the emperor behind me.”

Quan Zhengqian drank water to moisten his throat, put down the cup, and said, “I know you got the prescription from a divine physician. What I want to know is the name of this divine physician. You know, I also have the title of a divine physician in Jiang Hu. While I can’t find a cure for this Xiong Nu poison, this person can. Do you know what that means?”

Quan Zhengqian saw that Xuan Ruiquan had no intention of answering his question, so he answered his own question excitedly, “This means that the divine physician you know is more knowledgeable than me! I really want to know this person and become his disciple. Can you tell me the name of this divine physician and where he lives?”

After asking, Quan Zhengqian waited for Xuan Ruiquan’s reaction but saw that the other party ignored him. He thought for a while, walked up to Xuan Ruiquan, and said sweetly, “Ah Quan~ Please help me~.”

As soon as these words came out, Xuan Ruiquan and Jian Er shuddered. They looked at their hands and saw goosebumps rising on their skin.

Xuan Ruiquan was disgusted with his coquettishness and coldly said, “No. I won’t tell anyone about her without her permission. If I told you, she would be angry with me.”
