Appointing a General as a Concubine: Where Can General Xiao Escape?

Chapter 118 Goodbye Master

During the three months of recuperation, Xiao Mo thought a lot.

She didn't want to be a weak and helpless woman, she wanted to go back to her old self.

But with her abilities, there was no way to heal her injuries.

Only Qin Shan's master might be able to give her a glimmer of hope.

There was one more thing she had to do, and that was to bring Aunt Feng, who had saved her life, back to the imperial city.

During the period of recuperation, she also thought about this issue seriously.

When she came back, she was not brought with her because she had been away for too long and was not clear about the situation in the court, let alone how the emperor viewed her.

Her original intention was to bring her back to enjoy a good life. If she was pushed into the fire pit due to her momentary negligence, she would never feel at peace in her life.

Now it seems that bringing Aunt Feng back home will allow her to spend her old age in peace.

There was just one thing that made Xiao Mo feel a little powerless, and that was that Qinshan and Quancheng were in opposite directions.

When she reached a fork in the road, she hesitated for a long time before deciding to go to Qinshan first.

Aunt Feng lives in a very secluded place at the foot of a cliff. She has no grudges or enemies, so she can live an ordinary life and nothing will happen to her.

If he went to pick her up first, she would have to make the long journey with her, and the master didn't like outsiders going to Qinshan.

After weighing the two options, she chose to go see her master first and ask him to save her.

This was Shen Yun's second time following her to Qinshan. Last time, she didn't have the chance to meet the perfect master that Xiao Mo mentioned. She didn't know if she could see him this time.

In the imperial city, after Murong Shu discovered that Xiao Mo had left, she immediately notified Qi Minxiu.

When he learned the news, Qi Minzheng was helping Xiao Mo pick medicine in the room.

He was startled and ran out without thinking: "Ling Su, prepare the horse!"

Although Ling Su didn't know what was going on, he still did it.

Speaking of Qinshan, he indeed hadn't been there for a long time.

On Qinshan Mountain, Nie Changyuan was practicing martial arts in the back mountain. When he heard the only disciple who had not left him come to report that Xiao Mo had arrived, his first reaction was excitement, but he quickly calmed down.

"I'm here, so why are you so excited?"

"I'm not excited, Master. It's you who is excited."

"..." Nie Changyuan paused, staring expressionlessly at the disciple who had come to report the news: "Junior sister, you've come all this way, why don't you go and take a look?"

The apprentice was ashamed: "You came just as you said you would."

When he looked up after he finished speaking, he didn't know how far he had walked.

In the yard, Xiao Mo bent over and fiddled with the lotus she had planted in a water tank.

I didn’t expect that after so many years, this lotus is still there.

Nie Changyuan ran back in a hurry, his eyes red from a distance.

Shen Yun was sharp-eyed and caught a glimpse of a figure slowly approaching them. She was startled and quickly and quietly tugged at Xiao Mo's clothes.

Xiao Mo stood up and turned around. The moment she saw Nie Changyuan, she happily ran into his arms, "Master!"

Nie Changyuan patted her back with tears in his eyes: "You little rascal, you still remembered to come back to see if I was dead."

"Master, you're talking nonsense. What's this about life and death? Pah, pah, pah!"

Xiao Mo straightened up from her arms and looked at him in surprise: "Master, why are you crying?"

"I'm so excited, so excited. I thought you'd forgotten me after you went back and became a young lady!" Nie Changyuan cried, laughed, and wiped her tears.

Xiao Mo comforted him with a smile: "I came here twice in the past two years, and you were not here both times. Who can I blame?"

"Anyway, if you didn't see me, it's your fault."

"After not seeing you for so long, why are you still so unreasonable?"

The two masters and apprentices walked into the house, chatting and laughing. After exchanging greetings about their lives in the past few years, Nie Changyuan slowly put away the smile on his face.

"No wonder you look so grim. Come, let me take your pulse."

He pinched Xiao Mo's wrist, his expression gradually becoming ugly. It took him a long time to withdraw his hand, looking at her with slight anger.

"You came to me when you were dying, so what were you doing before?"

Xiao Mo smiled and took his arm, shaking it coquettishly: "I was busy before, so I came to see you when I had time."

"Are you here to see me? Are you here to see me for medical treatment?"

"Then can Master cure it?"

Nie Changyuan pulled his hand back in anger and gently pressed her brow: "You, how come you are so badly injured?"

Xiao Mo chuckled and sat back in her seat: "Didn't we just talk about my expedition to the Western Frontier?

When the war was almost over, the enemy wanted to die with me and dragged me down a cliff several hundred meters high.

Fortunately, I was smart and found a steep slope in the air to buffer myself, otherwise I would have been beheaded like that enemy."

Nie Changyuan gasped and glared at her angrily, "Then why didn't you come to me as soon as you were rescued?"

"Master, you don't know that I was saved and cared for by a noble person, so I was able to recover to my current state.

My leg was broken and my tendons were pierced. I had to stay in bed for nine months before I could walk.

My parents and the current emperor all thought I was dead. As soon as I could move again, I would go back and tell them I was safe.

Is it really that I came to you right away when I had free time? Hehe."

After hearing this, Nie Changyuan sighed deeply, "A leg injury can be healed with careful care, but a tendon injury is difficult to treat."

How could Xiao Mo, a doctor, not understand this principle? But when Nie Changyuan said it, she instantly lost her confidence.

Seeing the light in her eyes dim, Nie Changyuan stood up with a smile and patted her shoulder.

"Don't be discouraged. Go back to your room and rest. I'll go check the information. Don't worry, I'll definitely make you even more powerful than before."

Xiao Mo frowned, looked up at him, pursed her lips and nodded.

The next day, Nie Changyuan returned early in the morning carrying a basket of various medicinal herbs.

Xiao Mo came out of the house yawning and smelled a strange smell from a distance.

She called Shen Yun and followed the source of the smell, and saw Nie Changyuan and his senior brother busy refining medicine in the next yard.

Noticing Xiao Mo coming, Nie Changyuan put down what he was holding and asked her to go back to the yard and wait. He then turned around and went back to the house to get out a pack of silver needles.

After a few days of continuous treatment, Xiao Mo really felt that her body was much stronger, and even her qi and blood became more rosy.

Qi Minxiu traveled non-stop and when he arrived here, he happened to run into Xiao Mo practicing martial arts.

Nie Changyuan's method of treating Xiao Mo was to cut her tendons and reconnect them, and he also found hundreds of strange poisons to reshape and strengthen her loose tendons.

The purpose of practicing martial arts is to quickly expel the toxins from the body. According to Nie Changyuan, once the toxins are expelled, her injuries should be almost healed.

"Amo!" Qi Minxiu called her, and as soon as she turned around, she was wrapped in a warm embrace.
