Chapter 4 - Chapter 4 Awaken

Zhang Tianqing woke up again because of the strong smell of medicine.

"General, it's great that you've woken up." Wu Shou's voice reached her ears.

Zhang Tianqing struggled to sit up and looked around. At this moment, she was in a wing-room. Although the decoration in the room was not particularly luxurious, all the furniture was available.

"Where are we now?"

"The only restaurant in the northern border town - the Guest Welcoming Hall." Wu Shou said.

"Why are we here?"

"It was the Crown Prince of Great Shun who sent you here. The Crown Prince is quite a nice person. Not only did he help us settle down here, he also gave us a lot of precious herbs. So, I could save your life." Wu Shou said.

Only then did Zhang Tianqing remember that she had been stabbed by Liang Quanhe and saved by the military doctor. He said that she could only live for one day, but at this moment, her body seemed to have recovered a lot. Although there was still a faint pain in her chest, her body was not as heavy as before.

It seemed that she was not meant to die!

Since her life was not ended, no matter what, she must find Liang Quanhe and ask him why he did this!

There was hatred in Zhang Tianqing's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. She quickly withdrew her thoughts.

"Is Li Muhan so kind?" Zhang Tianqing raised her eyebrows and asked.

"The Crown Prince isn't as cruel and merciless as the rumors say. Although the Great Qi Empire has fallen, he didn't harm the people at all. Take this remote and cold northern border town for example. Not only did he not suppress the people, but he also brought charcoal and winter clothes to the poor people to help them get through the winter."

Zhang Tianqing pondered for a while. She thought that Li Muhan did this not only because of kindness, but also because of the current situation.

He had just taken over the Great Qi Empire. If he was cruel and bloody, it would inevitably lead to turmoil among the people of the Great Qi Empire. However, if he had been kind all this time, not only would the people not be in a state of chaos, but they would also praise him. He would be able to keep the people's hearts in check and defend the army from the outside. Zhang Tianqing sighed and felt powerless.

As the general of the Great Qi Empire, she should take revenge for the country. But now, except for helplessness, Zhang Tianqing really did not have much emotion.

It was not that she was not loyal to the emperor, but that she knew very well the Great Qi Empire's government affairs were in turmoil, and it was rotten to the extreme. The king was muddle-headed, and the people were in dire straits. It was difficult to deal with the old diseases that had lasted for many years. Even if there was no invasion, the country would perish. It was just a matter of time.

Now that a big empire was in charge of this place, Zhang Tianqing could not predict what would happen to this land in the future, but at least it would not be worse than this.

It would depend on what kind of ruler Li Muhan was.

Although she had been fighting against Li Muhan for three years, Zhang Tianqing knew that Li Muhan was cautious and bold in arranging troops. He was an unpredictable person in the battle. Her understanding of Li Muhan was only limited to the battlefield. As for other things, there was no more information.

"How long have I been unconscious?" Zhang Tianqing did not reply to Wu Shou's praise of Li Muhan. Instead, she asked this. "Six days."

Six days?

She had been unconscious for so many days?

So, in the past few days, the Great Qi Empire had truly perished.

She only hoped that the king of the Great Qi Empire, Liao Zufu, would be taken away by Hua Rufeng, the military advisor she had sent out, and not captured by Li Muhan.

As for her revenge, she would take it slowly.

After all, ten years was not too long for a gentleman to seek revenge!

"Have you been taking care of me these days?" Zhang Tianqing asked.

An abnormal blush appeared on Wu Shou's face. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Zhang Tianqing. He said coyly, "Yes... because I did not dare to let anyone else know your identity, so I had to... But I tried my best to cover my eyes and avoid looking."

Zhang Tianqing thought that Wu Shou was really a pure young man. When it came to this matter, he would blush like a monkey's butt. It was a little interesting.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard someone knocking on the door. Zhang Tianqing and Wu Shou looked at each other. When Zhang Tianqing nodded, Wu Shou went to open the door and saw an old eunuch in the Great Shun Empire standing outside.

"Have you woken up, Mr. Zhang?" The eunuch cleverly avoided Wu Shou's cover and saw Zhang Tianqing sitting against the headboard.
