Chapter 860: Hunting Accident
One morning, Zhao Junsheng had a good harvest, shooting five hares, two antelopes and a wild boar, and Cao Jiao also had a lot of harvests, hunting a fox and a roe deer.
Zhao Junsheng looked up at the sun in the sky, "It's past noon, let's go back, wait until you get to the rest place to roast an antelope, and drink a few cups with me!" β
Cao Jiao said with a smile: "Your Majesty has this Yaxing, and the ministers will naturally accompany you!" β
At this moment, a tiger roar suddenly came from the bushes next to him, and as soon as the sound came out, he saw a colorful insect jumping out of the grass and rushing straight to Zhao Junsheng.
Zhao Junsheng's mount was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground with his legs on the spot, and Zhao Junsheng also fell.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Cao Jiao shouted, flew up from the mount that was about to fall, and blocked in front of Zhao Junsheng.
"Plop", Cao Jiao was pounced on by the big insect, the big insect opened its big mouth, a foul smell erupted, the tiger's mouth went straight to Cao Jiao's neck to bite, and the two tiger claws buckled on Cao Jiao's body.
Cao Jiao was terrified, and at the critical moment, he lowered his head and pushed it upwards, and pressed his helmet against the jaw of the big insect to avoid the end of being kissed by a tiger on his neck.
There was a muffled sound of "bump", and Cao Jiao suddenly twisted his waist before being pounced on the ground by the big insect, and a man and a tiger smashed to the ground almost at the same time.
"Roar-" The big insect let out a loud roar, its head kept turning its head to try to get rid of Cao Jiao's helmet, the two front paws slapped and scratched Cao Jiao's body desperately, the leather armor on Cao Jiao's body was quickly scratched, he was slapped a few times by the tiger's claws, only to feel that all the internal organs were shattered, and the mouth kept spitting out blood.
The nearby dragon guards reacted, and someone immediately shouted: "Hurry up, help!" β
Just when Cao Jiao's consciousness was about to fall into a blur, the big insect that was fighting and biting him suddenly stopped moving, and he only had time to see Zhao Junsheng holding a treasure knife and stabbing the big worm's head and fainted.
Zhao Junsheng immediately stuck the knife on the ground, leaned over and shook Cao Jiao and shouted: "Cao Jiao, Cao Jiao, wake up, wake up!" Someone, go and call the imperial doctor, call the imperial doctor! β
"Yes, Your Majesty!" A dragon guard sergeant quickly rode his horse to the resting place.
Zhao Junsheng found that the corners of Cao Jiao's mouth kept overflowing blood, and the leather armor on his body had been scratched and tattered, and the flesh and blood on his back were blurred, especially the wounds on the two ribs were the most terrifying, and the white bones were exposed, and the two ribs were one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body.
Zhao Junsheng's expression was serious and anxious, he called Cao Jiao out this time to test Cao Jiao, to see if Cao Jiao had become corrupt and degenerate, or if he was not as loyal as before, and whether he would take risks because of the discovery of his exposed feet.
From Cao Jiao's desperate attempt to save him just now, he knew that Cao Jiao's loyalty was still no problem, but he couldn't control his greed for money.
With Zhao Junsheng's martial arts and sensitivity to the outside world, he already knew that there were fierce beasts hidden nearby, even if Cao Jiao didn't save him, he would have enough time to dodge and kill the big insect, just when Cao Jiao was fighting with the big insect just now, he could have killed the big insect one step earlier, and the reason why he deliberately delayed one step was also to test whether Cao Jiao was true or false.
It's just that Zhao Junsheng didn't expect this big insect to be so fierce that even a person with high martial arts like Cao Jiao was planted and injured so badly.
"Hurry up, make two spears and some strips of cloth into a simple stretcher, and carry General Cao to the rest place for the imperial doctor to treat!" Zhao Junsheng hurriedly ordered a few Dragon Guard armorers who were on guard.
"No!"
A simple stretcher was quickly made, Zhao Junsheng and a soldier carried the injured and unconscious Cao Jiao onto the stretcher, and the two of them carried Cao Jiao together and quickly rushed to the resting place, and the dragon guard soldiers rode horses on both sides to guard against being attacked by wild beasts.
"Who, go and a few people carry the big worm back, peel off the skin, peel off the meat and stew it for the soldiers to eat, and leave the tiger bones and tiger whips for me!"
At the end, facing a few armor soldiers, they rode back on horseback to carry the dead insects back to the resting place to deal with them.
Halfway down the road, the herald's armor came over with an imperial doctor carrying a medicine box on his back, and Cao Jiao's generals came with him.
"General, general, what's wrong with you?" The family general saw Cao Jiao, whose flesh and blood were blurred, and was so anxious that he exchanged loudly and wanted to rush over.
Zhao Junsheng scolded: "What are you shouting? Don't bother the imperial doctor to treat General Cao! β
The family will be helpless, and they are so anxious to be blocked from the periphery that they are in a circle.
After some nervous treatment of the injury, the imperial doctor temporarily stopped Cao Jiao's bleeding, but Zhao Junsheng found that Cao Jiao's face was getting whiter and whiter, and hurriedly asked, "Imperial doctor, how is General Cao?" β
The imperial doctor stood up and saluted Zhao Junsheng; "Your Majesty, General Cao is seriously injured, Weichen just stopped the bleeding for General Cao first, and now he must be carried to a resting place to further treat the wound, if it is too late, I am afraid that I will worry about my life!"
Zhao Junsheng's face tightened, and he immediately beckoned to the other soldiers: "Quickly carry General Cao to the rest place for further treatment!" β
There is a special medical room in the rest place, here is the Royal Zoo, there are often people who steal into the poaching, there are not a few who are caught and injured, and there are not a few people who are injured by wild beasts, even when the royal hunt is often injured, so the royal family has built a special medical room here, there is a special imperial doctor to sit in the consultation, and the medical equipment is relatively complete.
It didn't take long for Cao Jiao to be carried to the medical room in the rest area, and the imperial doctor immediately ordered someone to prepare spirits, gauze, needlework, and hot water.
The wound is cleaned, disinfected, sutured with needles and threads, and then applied with healing ointment, and finally bandaged.
Waiting for the imperial doctor to come out of the medical room, Zhao Junsheng, who had been waiting outside, immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is General Cao?" β
The imperial doctor took a breath and said, "General Cao's injuries have been treated, but General Cao has lost too much blood before, and he will definitely hurt his vitality!" In addition, General Cao's internal organs may have been severely damaged, and the tiger claws penetrated the weakest part of General Cao's two ribs, which may have caused some trauma to his lungs! And the slap of the tiger's palm not only broke his eight ribs, but even the spine had a slight dislocation, but these are irrelevant, the minister has already reconnected the broken bones, but the minister estimates that Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Zhao Junsheng's heart sank, "You tell the truth, I don't blame you!" β
"No! Even if General Cao can wake up, his body is also a major injury to his vitality, qi and blood, especially the injuries in the internal organs, I am afraid that it will be difficult to heal, and he will not be able to practice martial arts in the future, and there will be sequelae every time it is windy and rainy, such as severe coughing, unbearable pain in the injury, I am afraid that I will not be able to lead troops to fight in the future! β
Cao Jiao's general, who was standing next to him, heard these words and knelt on the ground and cried: "Imperial doctor, please save my general, he is only forty years old, he is in the prime of life, if he can't lead the troops to fight, I'm afraid he can't accept this fact, ask the imperial doctor to save him!" β
Zhao Junsheng glanced at the general, and said to the imperial doctor: "Do everything you can to treat General Cao, just say what you need, unless there is nothing in the world, as long as there is one, even if it is at the end of the world, I will find it for you!" β
The imperial doctor had no choice but to agree: "The minister will do my best to treat, as for how far it can be treated, it all depends on the will of heaven and the will of General Cao!" β
Zhao Junsheng sighed and asked, "When will he wake up?" β
"The minister will prescribe a prescription for him later, and then use acupuncture to assist in diagnosis and treatment, Mingchen should be able to wake up!"
"And when will he be able to move and send home?"
"Don't move for the past ten days, so as not to re-dislocate the broken bones and aggravate the injury of the internal organs, and wait until ten days later to observe the recovery of the injury!"
"Come on, prepare a room for me here, I will stay here tonight to accompany General Cao!" Zhao Junsheng instructed the eunuchs accompanying him, and then turned to Cao Jiao's general and ordered: "You are Cao Jiao's entourage, right?" Hurry back to your home and bring two sets of changes of clothes for General Cao! In additionΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Tell General Cao's wife and children the news that General Cao was seriously injured by a big insect because of his rescue, but don't worry, I will definitely let the imperial doctor cure General Cao! If they want to come, let them come and see General Cao! β
"No!" The family general agreed, and turned around and left quickly.
When it was dark, Cao Jiao's wife and concubines and children rushed to see Cao Jiao, who was lying motionless on the hospital bed and did not know whether he was alive or dead, and cried on the spot.
Cao Jiao's popularity in the court is not bad, after the news of his rescue of the seriously injured spread, when it was dark, many ministers of the court and the central government rode horses or carriages to visit Cao Jiao in the rest place of the imperial zoo.
After meeting Zhao Junsheng, many people heard that Cao Jiao hadn't woken up yet, so they only took a quick look outside the ward, comforted Cao Jiao's family and left, saying that they would come back when he woke up.
That night, the imperial doctor used the method of golden needles to acupuncture Cao Jiao, causing Cao Jiao to vomit out the blood accumulated in his body, and soon after these blood were vomited, Cao Jiao's pale face regained some ruddyness.
"Imperial Doctor, how's it going?" Zhao Junsheng is the backbone here, and Cao Jiao's family and children don't dare to speak casually, just waiting for Zhao Junsheng to ask.
The imperial doctor put away the silver needle and replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the blood congestion in General Cao's body has been forced out by the minister with the method of golden needle acupuncture, and in the future, the needle will be performed once a day, and all the blood congestion in his body can be forced out in less than five days!" Judging from the current situation, the decoction he drank in the afternoon and night has played a role, and the bleeding in his internal organs has stopped. β
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the crying of Cao Jiao's wife and concubine came from the side.
Zhao Junsheng sighed, turned to Cao Jiao's family and said: "General Cao was injured to save me, in fact, with General Cao's martial arts, a big worm is not afraid of him at all, he is worried about my safety so he panicked and messed up, I am ashamed of General Cao, if I hadn't called him out to hunt, he wouldn't have been seriously injured!" β
Cao Jiao's main room is a child of the scholar clan, born in the scholarly Lin family, quite knowledgeable, she hurriedly made a blessing and said: "Your Majesty's words are serious, the husband can be called by His Majesty to accompany the hunt is Your Majesty's favor to the husband, today he was seriously injured to save the driver, but also because he is loyal to His Majesty, it is his responsibility to keep His Majesty safe and sound, even if he dies, there is no regret, the concubines and sisters and several children are honored for the loyalty of the husband!" β
Zhao Junsheng said with a sigh: "There are not many people in the world who can be as knowledgeable and reasonable as Mrs. Cao, and the general situation is not much, General Cao has made great contributions to the country at the risk of death, and is a model for the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. β
