After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine Chapter 64

Jiang Suizhou responded subconsciously, "Okay."

It was only after Jiang Suizhou voiced his consent did he realize what he had said. He couldn't help but be stunned, and he put down the book in his hand.

He had made it clear to Huo Wujiu, and Huo Wujiu had promised to shelter him in the future, so there was no need for him to either brush up his presence in front of him or inquire about his well-being.

But...

Jiang Suizhou hesitated and was about to refuse, but his eyes involuntarily drifted to the couch beside the bed.

The couch had already been tidied up, smoothed out without a single wrinkle, and the beddings resting on it had also been put away.

It looked too neat, as if something was missing.

Jiang Suizhou's gaze stopped in that direction and suddenly felt that his bedroom was particularly large, so large that it felt a bit empty.

He remained silent for a moment, making Meng Qianshan who stood next to him show a look of surprise.

Look-look! His Highness is missing his wife!

He was pleased with his excellent proposal. Grinning ear to ear, he didn't wait for Jiang Suizhou's next instructions. He turned around and found a robe for Jiang Suizhou to wear outside. Meng Qianshan handed it to him, intending to wait for him to put it on.

Jiang Suizhou's eyes fell on Meng Qianshan's hands.

For a moment, he secretly persuaded himself inwardly.

Forget it. Isn't it just going to Huo Wujiu's place to check him out? This is my own territory. I can go wherever I want to go. There is no need to be overcautious and indecisive.

With this in mind, he stood up and put on the outer robe that Meng Qianshan handed to him.

Somehow, it might have been that the material of the robe was really comfortable on his body, because after putting it on, his mood that was cloudy and empty all morning seemed to have receded a lot in an instant.

Jiang Suizhou looked out the window.

I really ought to bask in the sun outside. He thought to himself.

Li Changning took out the acupuncture instruments in his medical kit. He asked Huo Wujiu to lie down on the bed; then, he rolled up Huo Wujiu’s trousers for him, exposing his unhealed legs.

Huo Wujiu's legs had recovered quite well, but his epidermal scars still looked appalling. With just one glance, Wei Kai's eyes turned red, and he averted his gaze to the side with difficulty.

Li Changning examined him and said, "General, the injuries on your legs have not yet healed, so they should be easier to treat. If they were delayed for a year or a half, I'm afraid that even if they were cured, the root cause will remain."

Huo Wujiu didn't make a sound.

He knew that for him, this was what he owed Jingwang.

If Jingwang had not pretended to be ill and given Li Changning and Wei Kai the opportunity to enter the manor, it would have been even harder for them to meet. Even if Li Changning was capable of curing him, it would have been nowhere in sight and definitely not as effective as it was right now.

His father had taught him long ago never to owe others unless it was a last resort. The more you owe, the more entanglements you would have in the future, and the more you would have no command over yourself.

It was inadvisable to owe someone a favor.

Huo Wujiu closed his eyes.

But what he owed Jingwang now was already much less than he had thought. For him, this kind of favor could be easily repaid in the future. On the contrary, the unrequited love he once thought was the most indefined thing...

He should be glad, but he couldn't pep himself up.

It felt like there were a bunch of threads that bound him and sent his mind in a whirl. When it was suddenly withdrawn and gave him too much freedom, he didn't feel relaxed, but instead, somehow felt forsaken.

This kind of fluttering mood ruffled his feathers.

Li Changning continued speaking beside his bed, "It's just that you will suffer a lot if you want your leg injuries to heal. From now on, I will apply acupuncture and medicine to you every day, General. The needles are to unblock the meridians and blood vessels, and the medicine is to reshape the broken meridians."

After a pause, Li Changning then said, "General, the stabbing pain of restoring your meridians is entirely different from the skin and flesh injuries around. The degree of pain is no different from scraping your bones. I've reconsidered it time and time again and plan to reduce the dosage by half. Although the speed will be slower, you, more or less, won't be so tortured..."

But Huo Wujiu interrupted him with his words.

"No need," he said.

Li Changning was stunned.

Then, he hurriedly explained, "General, the severe pain of reshaping meridians is very different from the abrasions around them. The pain level is no different from scraping bones. Even if the General has flesh and bones of steel, a person would take his own life to avoid suffering like this every day!"

But Huo Wujiu asked, "If you use normal medicine, how long would it take to heal them?"

Li Changning said, "Less than 20 days, more than a month."

Huo Wujiu asked, "What about halving it?"

Li Changning answered, "It takes about three months. But rest assured, General..."

Huo Wujiu spoke out and interrupted him.

"That won't do," he raised his eyes to Li Changning and rejected.

"We don't have that much spare time to spend here," he said. "Just heal me normally. No need to cut it in half."

Li Changning was a little puzzled.

Er...Although the Jingwang Manor wasn't a conducive place, it seemed to be calm and quiet nowadays.

Why was the General in a hurry?

He took a peek at Huo Wujiu again, but he saw that the latter had already closed his eyes and started to recuperate.

Li Changning could only obey. He turned around to sort out his silver needles.

He failed to notice that Huo Wujiu's left hand, which was hidden in his sleeves, was tightly clenched with some irritability.

He naturally had nothing urgent to do.

The Southern Jing wouldn't kill him for a while. The Northern Liang had just established a court and the treasury was empty. There were no outstanding generals except him, and nobody had the ability to save him in a short time.

But he just wanted to return Jingwang's favor quickly.

He only thought that he was now distracted, all because he had some debts and involvement with Jingwang. He believed that when these were paid off, he, Huo Wujiu, would still be the same Huo Wujiu, and wouldn't be tied up by an irrelevant person every day. It rankled him to no end, making him always wanting to kill someone.
