Chapter 293: Chapter 149: Qi-Blood Elixir, Success!_1
The Luo Family withdrew their troops.
Grandpa thought so too, saying that Luo Ziling had already mastered his true teachings and that with more experience, his medical skills would surpass his own.
The woman Luo Ziling had brought back, although seriously injured and having lost a lot of blood, didn’t worry him too much after he checked her pulse and heartbeat. All he needed to do was to remove the bullet that remained in her body, and she would be fine.
The woman had suffered a gunshot wound, and there was still a bullet inside her body. Fortunately, the bullet hadn’t hit her heart or major blood vessels.
The woman had simply fallen into a coma due to excessive blood loss and the shock from multiple traumas.
After preparing the necessary medicines and instruments and turning on the shadowless lamp, Luo Ziling began to treat the injured woman.
Lifting the blanket that covered the woman’s body, her form was once again exposed in front of Luo Ziling.
Despite the bloodstains all over the injured woman’s body, her allure was hard to conceal, and Luo Ziling couldn’t help but swallow hard. He had to take several deep breaths, forcing himself to cast aside any distracting thoughts.
“Not to be looked upon without consent, not to be looked upon without consent,” he muttered to himself a few times before finally fully stepping into the role of a doctor. After administering local anesthesia and stopping the bleeding with his skilled acupuncture techniques and self-prepared medicines, Luo Ziling put on disposable gloves, lit the alcohol lamp, and prepared to extract the bullet.
The woman was quite lucky; the injured area on her chest was about two centimeters away from her heart and major blood vessels. Otherwise, if the heart or major vessels in the chest and abdomen had been hit, and the bleeding couldn’t be stopped, even a divine doctor couldn’t save her life.
The injured woman’s muscles were quite firm, and her body had very nice curves without an ounce of excess fat, clearly the result of long-term labor or consistent exercise. Long-term labor or exercise had made her body develop very well.
Her well-developed body not only disturbed Luo Ziling’s mind but also made the surgery more difficult.
He quickly became parched and his heartbeat and breathing became rapid.
At twenty years old, a young virgin was at the peak of his vigor, and he had almost no resistance to the temptation of a woman’s body.
If Luo Ziling’s temperament hadn’t been out of the ordinary, he might have already been weak in the knees and clueless about what to do under these circumstances.
In the center of the room stood a silent figure.
This person was an envoy sent by the Guan Family from Luo Mountain Prefecture.
The main reason the Guan Family had sent such a person
was to sign a non-aggression pact with the Luo Family.
As mentioned before,
the lands of Luo Mountain Prefecture were governed by both the Luo and Guan families.
The eight counties of Luo Mountain Prefecture were divided in half, half belonging to Luo, and half to Guan.
If the situation were merely so,
the Guan Family naturally wouldn’t send an envoy or bother to sign some so-called non-aggression pact with the Luo Family.
But as time passed, and as the comprehensive strength of the Luo Family in Luo Mountain Prefecture became increasingly terrifying,
to the point where even the powerful Feng Wuyi from Qingcheng Prefecture was defeated without putting up a fight,
the Guan Family from Luo Mountain Prefecture began to panic.
It should be noted that the Guan Family’s borders with the Luo lands were the largest now.
On Qingcheng Prefecture’s side, due to various reasons,
the Luo Family had no choice but to withdraw their troops.
However, there would be much less trouble on the side of the Guan Family from Luo Mountain Prefecture.
The supply line wouldn’t be too long either.
If the Luo Family so desired, they could even mobilize a large army and steamroll straight through.
“So, is it the intention of Guan Family Head that both Luo and Guan families sign this non-aggression pact?”
Luo Ping silently looked at the envoy from the Guan Family before him.
He couldn’t help but ask in a low voice.
“Yes, yes…”
The Guan Family envoy bowed his head slightly, his voice slightly trembling as he spoke.
After pondering for a moment,
Luo Ping turned his head and whispered to Lu Jun, who was sitting beside him, “How do you see this matter, Brother Lu?”
Lu Jun narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a moment of thought, he whispered back to the envoy from the Guan Family, “What’s in it for us?”
The Guan Family envoy, upon hearing this,
was taken aback.
What’s in it for them? What did that mean?
He had considered whether the Luo Family would accept or refuse the pact,
but he had not anticipated
that the Luo Family would ask such a question.
“If the Luo Family is willing to accept the non-aggression pact, the Guan and Luo families can significantly reduce their troops amassed at the border.”
“How does the Luo Family Patriarch view this benefit?”
After a moment’s silence,
the envoy from the Guan Family once again spoke respectfully to Luo Ping in front of him.
“Reduce the number of troops amassed at the border?”
Luo Ping couldn’t help but nod in silence.
This point was indeed good.
However, he still wanted to hear Lu Jun’s opinion: “What do you think, Brother Lu?”
After pondering for a moment, Lu Jun spoke in a low voice to Luo Ping: “Since the Guan Family has proposed this matter, they naturally need to show a certain sincerity, but at this moment, I see no such sincerity from the Guan family. Therefore, I suggest that it would be better not to agree for the time being…”
With these words, Luo Ping, who had been sitting in the main seat, couldn’t help but laugh.
“Exactly.” Luo Ping nodded, indicating his agreement with Lu Jun’s words, then turned to the envoy from the Guan Family and said in a low voice, “You’ve heard it too, since this is your Guan Family’s proposal, it is necessary to show a certain sincerity, yet I can’t see any from you, so…”
With that, Luo Ping did not continue.
Soon after, the envoy from the Guan Family left as well.
Now, in the room,
there were only Luo Ping and Lu Jun left.
“So, if the Guan Family from Luo Mountain Prefecture really shows their sincerity, are we going to sign that so-called non-aggression pact?”
After a moment of silence in the main seat,
Luo Ping suddenly asked Lu Jun in a low voice.
“That will be a matter for later…”
“Besides, whether or not the sincerity shown by the Guan Family is genuine is still for you to decide, isn’t it, Family Head?”
Lu Jun gave a calm look to Luo Ping sitting beside him.
…
Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land.
In a mysterious courtyard, a hundred meters underground,
Luo Changfeng was standing silently outside a cell forged from millennium Xuan iron,
gazing at the Initial Ghost in front of him,
while silently observing the blood-red Bianca flowers that were thriving on the dark red soil beneath his feet.
After a period of purchasing various mineral resources,
he had once again upgraded the cell holding the Initial Ghost.
