The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 670

Chapter 670: 317 Game Breaker (Second Update)

In the afternoon, a soldier arrived at the camp, delivering a message from Medical Officer Lu: "It seems like there’s a problem with the medicinal ointment sent to the camp, Officer Lu would like to invite you to take a look!"

This was a serious matter, not just a few bottles, but hundreds or even thousands of bottles had been transported to the camp. If anything went wrong, it could potentially jeopardize thousands of lives.

"I’ll go as well." Second Master said.

Gu Jiao nodded, and they both took a carriage to the Military Camp.

Medical Officer Lu had waited anxciously in his barracks for a long time. When he finally saw Gu Jiao walk in, he immediately went forward: "Miss Gu, come take a look. After I applied the ointment from your Medical Hall on him, he turned out like this!"

While speaking, Officer Lu led Gu Jiao to a wooden bed where an injured soldier lay.

The bed was quite narrow, just enough for a patient to lie down.

The soldier was probably seventeen or eighteen years old. His leg was injured, but now his face was red and swollen, he had fainted, and his breathing was irregular.

Gu Jiao took out a stethoscope from her first aid kit and listened to his heart rate. Then she undid his clothes and checked his body: "Did his face turn red and did he faint only after using the ointment?"

"Yes." Officer Lu said, "He was just slightly hurt by a sword on his foot. The wound didn’t look too serious, so I didn’t stitch it up and only cleaned it and applied some ointment. But when I came back from a trip to the toilet, he had fainted on the ground just like this."

"There are no other injuries on his body." Gu Jiao paused, closing his clothing, "Show me the ointment he used."

Medical Officer Lu handed her a half-used bottle of the ointment.

Gu Jiao first sniffed it, then took a bit and applied it to a wound on her own palm.

"Oh no!" Even before Second Master could stop her, she had already acted swiftly.

No adverse reactions appeared on Gu Jiao.

Therefore, there was no problem with the ointment itself.

"Could he have had an allergic reaction to something he ate?" Second Master asked.

"Unlikely." Gu Jiao responded.

"Did he eat something bad?" Second Master asked again.

"Also unlikely." Gu Jiao’s gaze fell on the patient’s swollen face. She walked over to the patient’s head, unbuckled his headband and started to meticulously check his hair and scalp, not even missing a single hair.

"Found it, it’s here." Gu Jiao parted a section of the patient’s hair near the Baihui acupoint.

Second Master and Officer Lu came closer and saw a little red bump.

Second Master was taken aback: "Is this..."

Gu Jiao pulled out a scalpel from her first aid kit: "This is a venomous insect bite. A very dangerous creature."

Because the weather was hot and Tiger Mountain Camp is located at the foot of the mountain, it was not uncommon to encounter poisonous insects and snakes. Every year, a number of soldiers are stung or bitten, but Officer Lu had never encountered one that had bitten into the scalp.

He was quite embarrassed as he thought about how his negligence had led to a misunderstanding with the medical hall.

Gu Jiao treated the patient’s wound and applied anti-inflammatory and antiallergic ointment: "You must be careful in the future, the insects that come down from the mountain can be very dangerous."

As this was mentioned, Officer Lu sighed: "Actually, I do remind them often. But the soldiers can hardly bear the heat. They prefer to sleep shirtless at night and be bitten by mosquitoes rather than hang a mosquito net... I thank you for today, Miss Gu. If you hadn’t been here in time, I don’t know what would’ve happened to this patient."

Officer Lu not only thanked her, but also made sure to apologize.

Second Master repeatedly assured him it was no problem.

With the matter resolved, it was time for Gu Jiao and Second Master to leave.

"I’m going to the toilet, you get on the carriage first." Second Master said to Gu Jiao.

"Okay." Gu Jiao left Officer Lu’s barracks and headed towards the camp gates.

As she was passing an open barrack, she couldn’t help but glance inside.

With just one look, she froze.

It was actually a small arsenal full of all kinds of cold weapons. Amongst all the weapons, there was a majestic Red-Tasseled Spear.

It was a bit longer and heavier than the one that Old Marquis had bought and gifted to her from the Martial Arts Academy. But the spearhead was truly beautiful, shimmering with a sharp, cold light.

The red tassel appeared vibrant as well, like the color of an enemy’s blood.

Suddenly, something deep inside Gu Jiao started to stir.

She walked in, took down the Red-Tasseled Spear, and admired its weight and firm texture. She swung it around casually, each move full of lethal force. She loved it.

She held the Red-Tasseled Spear affectionately: "Wow!"

"Who’s there!"

Accompanied by an authoritative voice, the Old Marquis walked in with his hands behind his back and a serious expression on his face.

When he saw that it was Gu Jiao who had intruded into the barracks, his eyes chilled: "What is a woman like you doing in a place like this? Put that down! This is not something you should touch!"

Gu Jiao hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly put the spear back where it belonged.

The Old Marquis watched as she displayed a look of grievance, his eyebrows furrowing.

She dares to even feel wronged?

Hadn’t he warned her not to come to places like this?

"Why are you back at the camp?" The Old Marquis asked with an icy tone.

"There was something at the Medical Hall." Gu Jiao replied.

It’s impressive. _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}
