Chapter 123 Return to camp
No one expected that they were holding the antidote without realizing it.
However, the former sect leader never mentioned this. Perhaps even the former sect leader didn't know, since the old sect leader died too suddenly and there was no time to inform the former sect leader.
If the sect leader hadn't told them, they...
"I'll have someone make arrangements right away!" The Second Elder immediately ordered his men to set up the detoxification process.
With Jiang Qingyue's help, everyone received the antidote.
Looking at the young man who had become their new sect leader, no one had any further objections.
Looking at their earnest eyes and their unsustainable lives, Jiang Qingyue finally softened.
After all, she owed the old man something.
"I can temporarily act as your sect leader. You should take good care of yourselves and wait until a suitable person is found before I pass the position to him." Jiang Qingyue finally agreed to take on this hot potato.
The Second Elder didn't insist; the fact that the other party agreed was already a great joy, so he quickly agreed as well.
After Jiang Qingyue had made all the arrangements, she told them to continue to look for information about the Poison Sect, and that she would go and take back the old man's things after she had resolved her own problems.
At the same time, Jiang Qingyue also left behind the basic medical skills and acupuncture techniques that the old man had taught her, saying, "These are... things left behind by my senior. Now, they are returned to their rightful owner."
Leaving this in the Medical Sect is the best option.
After making the arrangements, Jiang Qingyue and her group left the place and returned to the camp in less than half a day.
Upon seeing General Gu again, the soldiers who had been guarding the area couldn't wait to rush in and shout the news of his return.
However, he could not abandon his post and could only suppress his excitement.
As they gradually entered the camp, they saw more and more people. Before long, a group of generals rushed over to welcome Gu Linsen's return.
"General, it's wonderful that you're alright!" General Zuo was genuinely happy for him. He never expected that Miss Qingyue was so capable, actually bringing the General back. She truly deserves to be the General's granddaughter!
"You've worked hard! Let's go see General Zhao."
On the way there, Jiang Qingyue had already told General Zhao what he had done, and Gu Linsen sighed.
He knew there must be people in the army who were loyal to the emperor, but he never expected that this person would be one of his trusted subordinates. He was extremely disappointed.
In prison, General Zhao, whose face was covered in stubble and looked exhausted, stared wide-eyed at Gu Linsen, even rubbing his eyes as if he were hallucinating.
After all, ever since he learned the truth, he has been unable to sleep at night, and he always seems to see the figure of the general in his delirium, but he can never actually touch him.
He knew it was an illusion. So, when Gu Linsen appeared before him, he momentarily doubted whether it was still a delusion.
Gu Linsen sighed, "You...you have truly disappointed this general."
Gu Linsen looked pained, and General Zhao felt his words were so clear, his tone tentative, "General, is it really you?"
Gu Linsen nodded. "Yes."
Upon hearing the affirmative answer, even a grown man couldn't help but shed tears.
"General, it's wonderful that you're back. I've been so sorry!"
With that, General Zhao knelt down before Gu Linsen, his head hitting the ground heavily, and he did not raise his head for a long time.
"You are very capable, but unfortunately, you have made a mistake. I can no longer keep you here, otherwise I would not be able to explain it to the soldiers. However, you have also made meritorious contributions, but you were blinded for a time, which is understandable. You can leave now."
Gu Linsen ultimately spared General Zhao's life.
General Zhao was shocked that even at this point, the General was still willing to give him a chance. He felt even more ashamed and pleaded, "Please, General, don't send me away. Give me another chance, and I promise I will not let you down!"
He didn't want to leave, not because of power or status, but simply because he could no longer fight alongside the general, which was more painful than death for him.
"This humble general can serve tea and water, work as a cook, do odd jobs, and do all sorts of other things. I only hope that the general will not send this humble general away!"
"If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place!" Gu Linsen shook his head regretfully. "These things are beneath your talents. You don't need to put up with such humiliation."
"This humble general is not wronged. As long as I can stay by the General's side and fight alongside him, I will not feel wronged at all. Please, General, give me another chance!"
As he spoke, General Zhao kept kowtowing.
To be honest, Gu Linsen was also a little reluctant, but now that things had come to this, he still agreed, "Alright, then you stay here and protect Qingyue."
Having found his granddaughter, he was worried that someone might harm her, so he asked General Zhao to protect her, which actually put him at ease.
Moreover... remembering his granddaughter's instructions to keep General Zhao around as an excuse, since he would be useful in the future, he naturally complied. Thus, this whole affair came about.
"Thank you, General! Thank you, General!" General Zhao—no, he should now be called Commander Zhao—was moved to tears, seizing this opportunity to make amends.
However, in order to lull the enemy into a false sense of security, he was demoted to a regular soldier on the grounds that he had been deceived by them, made a mistake, and should be punished.
After all, not many people knew about it at the time, and it wasn't appropriate to make a big fuss about it.
"Alright, then you do your job well. Next, we need to hurry back to the capital."
Emperor, Crown Prince... How dare you scheme against my granddaughter like this! I will demand an explanation!
Having resolved General Zhao's matter, Gu Linsen went outside.
As soon as I stepped out of the tent, I saw several soldiers taking a break after training, whispering and discussing something. Between the lines, they seemed to be mentioning the King of Qin and Jiang Qingyue, with the emphasis on Jiang Qingyue!
He coughed and stepped forward. "What are you talking about?"
Upon seeing the general, the soldiers instantly became much more panicked. "General, we..."
"Tell me, King Qin, and Xiaoyue, what happened to them?" He had been wondering why King Qin was here. If it was just a coincidence, he should have left after finishing his business. But he was still here, which made people suspicious.
Furthermore, it seems to be related to Xiaoyue, so he needs to find out more.
"General, please...please don't be angry after hearing this!" The soldier could already foresee how the general would react.
"Speak!" Gu Linsen's face was somewhat unpleasant, and he had a bad feeling about it.
After dawdling for a while, one of the soldiers stepped forward and whispered a few words in Gu Linsen's ear.
Gu Linsen's puzzled expression instantly turned serious, and his aura became overwhelming, his murderous look instantly intimidating the soldiers.
They kept their mouths shut and remained motionless, fearing the general's wrath.
"Qin Xuanyu! I'll kill you!"
After saying that, Gu Linsen quickly walked towards Qin Xuanyu's tent...
