My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

"Damn it all!! Someone come quick!! Stop that little bastard!!!"

Zhu Xicheng was frantic, filled with an inexplicable fear towards the sudden change in Li Tongzhen. Yet, there was also a spark of joy in his heart.

This Li Tongzhen, was definitely not ordinary!!

If he could capture him and bring him back...

Zhu Xicheng thought to himself, but he hadn't come to any happy conclusions yet.

He suddenly felt an uncomfortable sensation in his chest.

He violently coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.

Then he felt something, stuck in his throat.

Zhu Xicheng instinctively raised his hand to his mouth and forced a spit.

That was...

Pieces of his internal organs.

Zhu Xicheng's face suddenly turned pale, and he quickly looked around at the guards rushing towards him. He opened his mouth, intending to shout something loud.

But the words never escaped his lips.

The life quickly began to fade from his entire being.

His hand fell to the ground, devoid of strength.

Some guards who saw Zhu Xicheng in this state were startled.

"What's happened to the master? Was he made like this by that beggar?"

"That beggar couldn't even beat us, so how could he have bested the master? After all, the master had undergone training."

"What do we do now?"

"Report to the Office, to the Office!"

Some guards rushed towards the government Office, while others chased after Li Tongzhen.

As for Zhu Xicheng's concubines, especially the noblewoman who had been wailing at the beginning, seeing that Zhu Xicheng was very likely already gone, they were momentarily stunned, then quickly returned to their rooms, not knowing what they began to pack up.

In a short time, the entire Zhu Mansion was in chaos.

...

Li Tongzhen, holding the weak and frail Qingqing in his arms, hurriedly ran towards the medical clinic.

The Zhu Mansion was in the inner city, and Li Tongzhen was not familiar with the location of the inner city, so he could only ask passersby for the location of the medical clinic.

Both Li Tongzhen and Qingqing were covered in blood, which scared the passersby as he asked for directions.

But fortunately, the outcome was positive.

Soon Li Tongzhen found the location of the medical clinic.

By then, it was already late evening.

The bright moon hung high.

Li Tongzhen, holding Qingqing, arrived at the medical clinic and started pounding on its door frantically.

"Doctor, doctor, come quickly to save someone, please come and save her!"

Li Tongzhen knocked on the door of the clinic while gazing at the Qingqing in his arms.

Qingqing, perhaps due to excessive blood loss, had her body temperature drop drastically.

What made Li Tongzhen feel even more helpless,

was the long wound on Qingqing's arm.

The wound seemed to have been contaminated by some medicinal fluid, and it just wouldn't heal, continuously bleeding out.

Li Tongzhen could only press his hand on Qingqing's arm, praying that the blood inside her body would flow less.

"Doctor, doctor!"

Li Tongzhen was crying, shouting through his tears.

"Who's there, making a racket in the middle of the night like a banshee?"

The wooden door of the clinic finally opened, and a young man wearing a gray hat poked his head out. At first, he appeared irritated, but after seeing Li Tongzhen and Qingqing at the doorstep of the clinic, his expression changed.

"Good heavens, you guys..."

"Come in quickly."

The young man hurriedly invited Li Tongzhen inside and, after sitting them down, he quickly went back inside to call for the doctor.

Wang Ruoguan was just about to go to sleep when he heard his apprentice calling him again, saying that a patient had arrived.

Wang Ruoguan didn't feel like responding.

The patient was important.

Was he not important as well?

He was an old man, almost ready to return to dust, couldn't he have some rest?

Although Wang Ruoguan thought this way, he still got out of bed, hastily threw on some clothes, went to the door, and as he entered the diagnosis room, he smelled the strong scent of blood.

Wang Ruoguan's gaze sharpened as he frowned, looking at the girl lying on the bed and then at Li Tongzhen beside her.

Upon seeing Li Tongzhen, Wang Ruoguan was taken aback, as if he recognized him.

He didn't interfere any further,

but walked swiftly to Qingqing's side and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Li Tongzhen shook his head, baffled. "Qingqing and I were captured. That person made a cut on my body, but while the cut on my body healed, the wound on Qingqing's body kept bleeding unstoppably."

Li Tongzhen explained simply.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ruoguan furrowed his brows deeply, gently lifted the blanket, and glanced at Qingqing's pale wound, devoid of any blood.

He leaned in closer to smell.

His expression completely changed.

"This scent, isn't it the Court Martial Department's forbidden medicine?"

"How could it appear on a little girl?"

Forbidden medicine was named so because once wounded by a weapon smeared with it, the injury was very hard to heal; one could only wait for death unless treated with a special medicinal solution. It was always used in warfare against enemy nations, so why had it appeared here?

And on a little girl at that.

The Court wouldn't go so far as to use it on such a little girl, would it??

Wang Ruoguan's eyes darkened and he quickly took out some medicinal solution, treated Qingqing's injury superficially to stop it from getting worse.

Just as he was about to say something,

suddenly, from outside, there came a commotion.

"My lord, the one who murdered our master has hidden in here!"

"In broad daylight, right under the Emperor's nose, to brazenly intrude and commit murder!"

"Severe punishment, there must be a severe punishment!"

Noises came from outside one after another.

Then,

the door of the medical clinic was kicked open.

Several City Ping County constables entered with swords drawn, followed by several women wailing, it was unclear if their crying was genuine or not.
