1827 Change 4
And Sword One joined her in assisting the wounded. “Give them the water I brought. Lingyun, gather the herbs,” Gu Chaoyan instructed.
The injured hidden guards hesitated, expressing their concerns, “Elder Miss, we are mere servants. We cannot allow you to risk infection. We will be held responsible!”
Gu Chaoyan paid no heed to their protests.
With determination, she asserted, “Show me your hands.”
Her command held a captivating power, compelling them to comply.
The hidden guard extended his hand, and Gu Chaoyan swiftly began the treatment. Her movements were deft and agile. As she worked, the hidden guard felt a significant improvement, no longer on the verge of losing consciousness.
Sword One approached, and without raising her gaze, Gu Chaoyan instructed her, “Sword One, give him a cup of water from this flask.”
She had brought the water from her spatial storage, anticipating its need, and her foresight proved invaluable.
The hidden guard felt a complete recovery after consuming the cup of water.
Gu Chaoyan moved on to the next injured individual.
Some with more severe wounds received acupuncture, while those with minor injuries were administered medicinal pills.
Gu Chaoyan was fully engrossed in her work, causing the troops to pause their activities.
Word of Gu Chaoyan’s actions reached Ouyang Mingjing as well.
Longqing expressed his concern, “City Lord, you must intervene and stop Phoenix Girl! It’s absurd for her to personally treat the hidden guards just because she’s a Phoenix Girl!”
Ouyang Mingjing brushed off the matter, saying, “Let her do as she pleases. It’s of no concern to me.” His focus was on how to handle Qing. Phoenix Girl could handle things her own way.”
As long as it didn’t consume too much time.
Longqing sighed, realizing that he couldn’t persuade Ouyang Mingjing any further.
By the time Gu Chaoyan finished attending to the hidden guards, it was already dusk.
The hidden guards had always been their protectors, so Gu Chaoyan deemed it necessary to check on their well-being first.
Sword One was assigned the task of keeping watch over the disgraced maids.
Just as Gu Chaoyan left the camp, Sword Two approached her.
“Elder Miss, the guards have gone too far. If it weren’t for Sword One, the maids would have suffered even worse. Some have already faced humiliation due to our failure to protect them. And now, a dozen more have been taken away by them!” Sword Two snapped angrily.
Gu Chaoyan’s expression turned grim. “Take me there!”
Sword Two led Gu Chaoyan to a nearby camp.
Numerous guards stood outside, displaying an indifferent demeanor. However, they were taken aback upon seeing Gu Chaoyan’s arrival.
“Phoenix Girl, what brings you here? Please leave,” one guard urged.
Ignoring their words, Gu Chaoyan pushed past them and entered the camp.
The guards inside wore mocking smirks.
Sword One was facing them.
