"The montum of Qin’s destruction of Zhao is now completely unstoppable."
"Our Wei can only survive in the future with the help of foreign aid," Wei Wuji slowly stated.
"Where can our Wei find foreign aid now?" the King of Wei asked, looking helpless.
"The Chu State!" Wei Wuji declared loudly.
"Chu is a state of the Nanman barbarians. Although it is powerful, would they really assist our Wei?" the King of Wei worriedly asked.
"This old servant requests permission to go to the Chu State as an envoy."
"Please grant my request, Your Majesty," Wei Wuji pleaded loudly.
"Granted," the King of Wei agreed without hesitation.
The news of the breach of the Zhao Capital spread swiftly throughout the lands. The Various Countries were all greatly shaken by it. What sort of shock this would ultimately lead to remained unknown.

「Handan!」
Within the Wounded Soldier Camp, a servant approached Master Chen. "Master, soone has co to see you," he reported.
"No visitors! I’m not seeing anyone!"
"There are too many wounded. Whatever it is can be discussed later," Master Chen said imdiately. He couldn’t even free his hands, as he was using strong liquor to remove an arrow and clean a soldier’s wound.
By now, the liquor used in the Wounded Soldier Camp was no longer the kind originally purchased from Qin, but the strong liquor from the Immortals’ Liquor House. After many trials, the liquor from the Immortals’ Liquor House proved to be stronger than the one brewed in Qin and had better sterilizing effects, which was why it was being used in the camp.
"But the visitor claims to be your teacher, Master," the servant respectfully reported.
"Teacher?" Master Chen was taken aback and hurriedly looked toward the camp’s entrance.
An old man stood there, hands behind his back, waiting quietly.
"Soone, take over for ," Master Chen imdiately called out to a nearby Military Doctor.
"Understood."
A Military Doctor quickly took Master Chen’s place. Master Chen then rushed out of the camp.
Without hesitation, Master Chen walked up to Xia Wuqie and perford the grand bow of a disciple, kneeling before him. "Disciple greets Teacher."
Xia Wuqie smiled slightly and raised a hand. "Rise."
"Thank you, Teacher." Master Chen imdiately stood up.
"Disciple was unaware of Teacher’s visit. Please forgive ," Master Chen said respectfully.
In the Wounded Soldier Camp, Master Chen was always extrely strict, but now he stood before Xia Wuqie like a child.
"I have just arrived, so there’s no need for such formality. Besides, I ca with the Great King, and no one else knows I am here," Xia Wuqie said with a slight smile.
"It has been many years since this disciple last saw you, Teacher. Please do not take offense," Master Chen said respectfully.
"Practicing dicine for the sake of the state is a great virtue. How could I, your teacher, hinder you?" Xia Wuqie smiled.
At this mont, Zhao Feng’s voice rang out from within the Wounded Soldier Camp. "Master Chen, wound cleaning!"
"Just a mont!" Master Chen imdiately called back.
Beside him, Xia Wuqie was sowhat surprised. My disciple has the most explosive temper of them all, yet soone in this Wounded Soldier Camp dares to call him by na? And he even responded imdiately.
Xia Wuqie couldn’t help but look inside the Wounded Soldier Camp. A young man in a military uniform was treating a wounded soldier with a small knife.
Could it be him? Seeing this, Xia Wuqie already had an idea of who the young man in the uniform was, and a smile crept onto his old face.
"Teacher, that is General Zhao Feng. The Suturing Skill and the strong liquor sterilization thod were both created by him," Master Chen explained imdiately. "The battle for Handan is over, so General Zhao has co to the Wounded Soldier Camp to help."
Receiving Master Chen’s confirmation, Xia Wuqie nodded with a smile. "When you first told about these two dical techniques, I beca curious about Zhao Feng. Now, since he is here, I must et him."
With that, Xia Wuqie walked directly toward Zhao Feng inside the Wounded Soldier Camp, arriving behind him a mont later.
Master Chen started to speak, but Xia Wuqie raised a hand, signaling for him to be quiet. His gaze fell upon Zhao Feng’s hands as he skillfully wielded the knife.
He watched as Zhao Feng skillfully sterilized a small knife in the fire, then used strong liquor to clean the wound. He extracted the arrowhead embedded deep in the soldier’s body, cleaned the wound again, and sutured it shut. The entire sequence was fluid and practiced.
This must be the Suturing Skill. Sterilization by fire, sterilization with strong liquor. These are all dical techniques I have never heard of. Truly, every generation produces its own outstanding talents. dical arts are also evolving step by step.
After Zhao Feng finished treating this soldier, he applied dicine and said, "The arrowhead is out, and the bleeding has stopped. Have a sip of liquor and get so rest."
"Thank... thank you, General," the soldier said gratefully. He tried to get up to show his thanks but was too weak.
"Don’t move. Just rest," Zhao Feng said, quickly pressing him back down.
"General, I will never forget your great kindness for the rest of my life," the soldier said with imnse gratitude.
Zhao Feng smiled and turned around. Upon seeing Xia Wuqie behind him, he was montarily stunned.
Xia Wuqie also ca back to his senses and t Zhao Feng’s gaze.
Their eyes t. Xia Wuqie’s heart trembled. When he saw Zhao Feng’s face as he turned—especially that one glance back—he was startled. At that mont, Xia Wuqie’s heart seed to have been struck by sothing, leaving him in a daze.
"Teacher, this is General Zhao Feng. If he weren’t wearing this military uniform, you might never have guessed that he is the most ferocious War General in the Qin Army," Master Chen said with a smile.
However, Xia Wuqie still wore a dazed expression, as if imrsed in his own world.
"Doctor Xia, I’ve long admired your reputation," Zhao Feng said with a smile, greeting Xia Wuqie with a cupped-fist salute.
However, Xia Wuqie remained dazed, seemingly lost deep in his own thoughts.
