Due to concerns for the safety of King Zhao of Qin, Luzi arrived at the Qin Twentieth Legion without bringing the renowned healer Xiao Yu'er along. This was not only because Xiao Yu'er could provide timely battlefield medical assistance, but also due to the infiltration of Wanderers into the war zone.
These individuals would stop at nothing once they opened the forbidden gates. Their primary goal was to complete their mission, with no rules to follow. This was precisely what Luzi feared most, so he could only leave the expert in detoxification by the side of King Qin.
Before preparing to leave West Rampart, Luzi had consulted with Xiao Yu'er about this matter. They reached two conclusions: the first being that no matter how skilled a doctor is, there is no way to bring someone back from the dead. The focus of their discussion was on the second conclusion, which was how to prolong Bai Qi's life.
As long as it was confirmed that Bai Qi still had breath left, he could not remain on the front lines. Luzi's mission was to retrieve the severely injured Bai Qi and return him to West Rampart, allowing Xiao Yu'er, who remained in the city, to perform his healing techniques.
As Xiao Yu'er saw Luzi off, he handed him three pills. The first pill was meant to control Bai Qi's condition; if any signs became unclear during treatment, a second pill could be taken. The third pill was for emergencies.
Luzi sought out this healer with the intention of acquiring a life-saving elixir but assumed it was unnecessary since Xiao Yu'er had not mentioned it during their conversation. He took the pills and concealed them within his armor, bowing deeply to this healer who had made significant contributions to the Qin State.
In that moment, Luzi felt deeply satisfied. Though heaven had not provided much assistance, it had granted him Xiao Yu'er. His once cold heart felt warm.
Not daring to delay further, Luzi took one of the pills from his pocket and helped Bai Qi take it. He then offered a bowl of water for him to swallow it down before gently laying his extremely soft body flat.
Everything that needed to be done according to medical advice was completed; all that remained was waiting.
Standing quietly at the head of the bed, Luzi looked down at Bai Qi's familiar young face and suddenly noticed a strand of white hair at his temples. This was the God of War of my Qin State! A being who existed solely for victory!
Who wished for him to descend into this world? Yet because heaven was angered by humanity's loss of morality, he was cast down into the dust to break open that first glimmer of dawn for peace! It was a light stained red by countless bloodshed, reminding all who saw it how hard-won peace truly is!
Time passed second by second as Luzi remained steadfastly guarding what he was willing to wait for. He hoped that in the future he could evaluate this moment realistically, at least being able to understand the helplessness of a world where war must be stopped by war.
Dark Age should come to an end!
When a heavy tone echoed, it brought tears to the listeners. Luzi, waiting for the final answer, looked down at the gradually regaining color of his face and let out a long sigh.
Opening his eyes, Bai Qi surveyed the surroundings, his pupils constricting as they adjusted to the light, and he noticed Luzi standing by the bedside. "Who... is it? Governor!?"
Luzi responded affirmatively, pouring water into a bowl and helping Bai Qi drink it all. As the water diluted the life-saving elixir in his stomach, the extraordinary medicinal effects slowly began to restore the patient's vitality. Within a short time, what had been a weak voice became robust.
Now able to sit up, Bai Qi looked around the Main Tent, confirming that he was once again saved by Luzi. The reason for using "again" was that last time it was this soft-hearted Brother who had helped him detoxify.
"Why does my lord still save this ill-fated person!?" After speaking, Bai Qi struggled to turn and glance at the clean general's Armor on the rack. That was once his dream—a dream of someone wearing it to unify the world for Qin State on the battlefield.
Even if it is Martial Valor in Death, what does it matter!?
It’s all that damned Fan Ju! To rise to power, he would frame loyal subjects! He deceived the king and took away his master's military authority, ordering him to return to his fief and forbidding him from going out. My Qin State still has so many wars! We still need to expand our territory for Qin State and initiate the Unified War! Yet because of those baseless accusations, all dreams have been dashed...
Seeing Bai Qi's complex expression, Luzi felt a deep empathy. There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart! It is actually quite simple to make someone born for war fall into decline. Just keep him idle at home forever; his ambition and life will fade away without even a ripple.
"Wuan Jun is the pillar of our Great Qin. The world cannot be without you at this time."
"Alas!" Bai Qi sighed deeply, no longer paying attention to the general's Armor, which was about to turn to ashes along with hope. "In the past, the king conferred upon me the title of Wuan Jun. It was hoped that I could live up to the king's expectations and stabilize the nation with my martial prowess. Now that I think about it, it feels like just yesterday."
Noticing that Bai Qi possessed the same keen observational skills, Luzi was at a loss for words. He didn’t know how to respond. He was extremely weary of war and slaughter, which made him particularly annoyed with Bai Qi. Always attacking cities and seizing territories, laughing as he savored those military honors. Wasn’t that honor built upon countless lives!?
However, with the intervention of Qin Zhao's The Conflict of Shangdang, there began to be a disregard for what should have been an extremely sensitive fact. Having witnessed too many separations and deaths, it had unconsciously become a norm.
Why do we exist!?
Bai Qi turned to look at his bandaged right arm. He wanted to test if he could still exert strength, but winced in pain. Gathering his thoughts, he recalled that he had fallen from his horse after being shot while on patrol, and the arrow had pierced directly through his right arm.
Seeing someone suddenly break into a sweat, Luzi quickly supported Bai Qi's shoulder. "We can't confirm if the arrowhead is poisoned yet, so please don't exert yourself!"
Bai Qi seemed not to hear this and lowered his head, struggling to lift his right arm. When he finally saw the blood seeping from his right side, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head. "Governor! My brother wants to ask you for a favor; please promise me no matter what."
As Lu Zigang entered the Main Tent, he had already confirmed that Bai Qi's injury was to the lung. Although protected by armor, the force of the arrows had broken through the armor plates. He wasn't an expert in this area but knew it could be considered a serious injury.
Just as Luzi was about to leave West Fortress City, he clearly remembered Xiao Yu'er’s grave expression when she took out three pills. If the situation weren't too severe, Xiao Yu'er would never show such a face or produce three pills.
Worried about this, Luzi looked at Bai Qi's determined gaze and suddenly felt it was so familiar yet couldn't recall where he had seen it before. "Don't speak like it's your last words! If there's anything you need my help with, just say it! As long as it's within my capabilities, I will do my utmost!"
Seeing Bai Qi struggling to get out of bed, Luzi hurriedly stepped forward to assist him. What he didn't expect was that just as Bai Qi stood up, he suddenly knelt on the ground. "My lord! Take my brothers home!"
