Seeing that the guards were filled with indignation and wanted to arrest the Taoist priest, Xu Zhilan hurriedly said: "Stop!"
She didn't mind the Taoist priest's words being offensive, but just said: "Since Taoist Master, you know medicine and stone, and you have the intention to join the legion, then Ah San, you can take him to try and see which legion is still short of military doctors and make arrangements."
The guard named "Ah San" responded, and when he saw the Taoist priest lying limp on the ground, he simply caught the man and left quickly.
"Remember to wash your hands!" Xu Zhilan couldn't help laughing.
"I know!" Ah San laughed a few times and walked away.
The Taoist priest opened his eyes lazily, glanced at Xu Zhilan, muttered and smiled, not knowing what he said.
Come to the military camp.
Ah San summoned a soldier, handed the Taoist priest over to him, and cast a spell to summon water to wash his hands.
As for the Taoist priest, he was thrown into the bathhouse, washed clean, and arranged to go to a tent to sober up.
…
In the tent, a quartermaster was interviewing the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest has put on a brand new Taoist robe. After taking a bath, he feels much more energetic. He has an ordinary appearance, the kind you would never find if you were thrown into the crowd. He only has a pair of bright eyes, as if there is a pool hidden inside. deep water.
"What is your name?"
"Xiao Lin."
"How many years have you been practicing medicine?"
"It's passed down from our ancestors. We've been doing this since we were little!"
The Taoist priest smiled, showing his white teeth.
The quartermaster was noncommittal, nodded, and said, "Then you come with me. I happen to have a few injured brothers for you to take a look at. If they can be cured, I will keep you."
"good."
The Taoist priest chuckled, took out the gourd from behind as usual, and took a big gulp of wine.
The quartermaster frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
There are a lot of military orders in the legion, but for positions with special skills such as doctors, it is still relatively loose. Being fond of drinking is not a big problem. As long as you can cure diseases and save people, everything is fine.
Immediately, the quartermaster took the Taoist priest to another tent, where several wounded people were lying. Some had broken legs, and some had wounds as big as bowls on their bodies. The tent was filled with the unpleasant smell of medicine, as well as blood and The smell of decay.
The Taoist priest yawned and stepped forward to check them one by one. Then he took out various medicinal materials from the medicine cabinet next to him, crushed them on the spot and mixed them into a soup, which could be applied externally or taken internally, and was treated one by one by the injured.
Many people's wounds stopped bleeding on the spot, and their faces looked much better.
Seeing the Taoist priest's skill and confidence, the quartermaster finally smiled and said: "With Taoist Master Xiao here in the future, the casualty rate of our army can be reduced."
"Easy to say, easy to say, as long as you have wine, I will bring you back from hell!" The Taoist priest dealt with the injured and shook his head again and again, as if he was still very drunk.
"There are enough wine stewards in the army, hahaha..."
About half an hour later, emergency treatment was done for all the injured. The Taoist priest prescribed a few more prescriptions and asked the soldiers in the logistics department to boil the medicine regularly.
After this display of skill, the quartermaster made an immediate decision and agreed to Ling Xiao joining the legion as a doctor, and specially arranged a relatively clean tent for him to stay in.
Not long after, jars of fine wine arrived.
Doctor, no one dares to neglect a profession that is related to their own lives.
"Doctor Xiao, please rest tonight and start working officially tomorrow!"
The quartermaster stepped back with a smile.
After the people left, the Taoist priest stood in the tent and helped himself to some wine.
But this time, the wine he drank became fragrant and full of spiritual energy.
"It's really troublesome... Xiao Bufan, come quickly, don't make me wait too long."
he muttered.
This Taoist priest named "Xiao Lin" is naturally Ling Xiao pretending to be.
After leaving Beiliang Kingdom, he went all the way north, crossed the Longbo Mountains, and arrived at Izumo.
According to the information given by Zifengtai, Xiao Bufan will arrive in Fuqi City on behalf of the Xiao family in the next few days to formally establish a cooperative relationship with Xu Laosan.
What Ling Xiao needs to do is to kill Xiao Bufan during this period.
He had arrived three days ago and had been observing in secret.
It was not until today that he officially showed up. He came into contact with Xu Zhilan as planned, and naturally joined a certain civilian army under Xu Laosan.
Although Ling Xiao was mediocre in refining second-level elixirs, he was still able to treat illnesses and heal injuries for ordinary people.
As for why he didn't join the monks directly, it was because the monks' precautions were too strict, and if he joined, he would be at risk of being exposed.
The reason for joining the legion is that a grand "martial arts performance" will be held in Fuqi City in a few days.
This was Xu Laosan's special show of force to the Xiao family in order to better establish an alliance with the Xiao family.
There are many kinds of alliances.
Xu Laosan obviously does not want to be a vassal of the Xiao family. Only by showing his strength appropriately can we promote fairer cooperation between the two parties.
Coincidentally, Ling Xiao also planned to show his "power" to the Xiao family on that day.
There were no lights in the tent, and Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with a cold light in the darkness.
Quietly, Minghu appeared beside him.
Ling Xiao took out the tools and began to apply makeup on Minghu to change his appearance.
When he was checking the injured just now, he had already found the target. There was someone who couldn't be saved, so he could just let Minghu take over the other person's identity.
Two hours later, he successfully completed his makeup.
Minghu left quietly, sneaked into the previous tent, and replaced the deceased.
Ling Xiao smiled slightly.
Everything went smoothly.
Just wait for the martial arts performance in a few days.
Before that, he just needed to adjust his state and wait.
But after just waiting for a while, an uninvited guest arrived in the tent.
"Hello, Taoist Priest."
Xu Zhilan took off his large black cloak and smiled at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao stood up "in a panic", fell to his knees and said in a trembling voice: "It turns out that the eldest lady is here. The younger one was blind before and offended the eldest lady. Damn it, damn it!"
As he spoke, he gave himself several loud mouths.
Xu Zhilan frowned slightly.
"Taoist Priest, are you...are you the person I thought you were?" She suddenly asked a strange question.
Of course Ling Xiao knew what she was asking.
Although this daughter is Xu Laosan's eldest daughter, the father and daughter actually have different opinions. As early as two years ago, Xu Zhilan had reached a secret agreement with Jiang Yu and took refuge in Zifengtai.
For the plan to assassinate Xiao Bufan, this woman was the internal agent arranged by Zifengtai for Ling Xiao in Fuqi City!
Ling Xiao knew this, but Xu Zhilan didn't know the inside story.
She only knew that Zifengtai would send people to disrupt the cooperation between her father and the Xiao family, but she had no idea how to do it.
Therefore, as soon as she noticed something unusual about Ling Xiao during the day, she thought of Zifengtai, so she came late at night to find out.
Ling Xiao raised his head, with a confused look on his face, and said, "Miss, miss me? Hahaha...could it be that the eldest... just likes Pindao?"
He smiled like a pig, licked his lips, and suddenly reached out to touch the other person's little hand.
"Miss, I understand your feelings, I am willing to return to secular life for you!"
