Chapter 788 - 785
Killing is nothing more than a head dropping to the ground. But in this treatment center, the Liang soldiers witnessed their comrades being carried out one after another, those who perished from refusing the medicine. The continual sight of burning corpses struck a harsh blow to the Liang soldiers’ morale.
Their fear heightened as their own conditions worsened, growing more terrifying with each passing day.
Only Zhao’s army remained steadfast. None of the infected sought medicine. They sat in the treatment center, disdainfully watching the Liang soldiers who knelt for medicine, facing death without flinching.
When Zhao Sheng learned from a Liang military doctor who was bandaging his wounds that his deputy refused the Jin medicine and died from severe injuries, and that his most capable subordinates, Zhao Qi and Wang Yu, were infected and sent to the treatment center, he panicked.
He looked at the Liang military doctor who was organizing the medicine box and asked, "Does the Jin Kingdom’s medicine work for our Liang soldiers?"
Referring to this, the old military doctor couldn’t help but nod, "It works! I have seen the prescription. Indeed, it is effective. However, after discussing with Doctor Hong from Jin Kingdom, we adjusted the prescription slightly. Due to climatic differences, there are some physical disparities between the Liang and Jin people. The adjusted prescription is much gentler for our people."
"The Jin army showed you the prescription?!" Zhao Sheng looked surprised.
"Yes, I was surprised too. But Doctor Hong from Jin Kingdom said," teaching knowledge to disciples knows no class distinction, saving lives knows no national bounds. Liang soldiers are also born of parents, they are all humans... they all need saving!" The old military doctor sighed, "I truly admire the breadth of this Jin doctor’s heart. If the situation were reversed, I believe... we, the Liang people, couldn’t do the same."
