The soldier hurried out to let Han Zhenting do his job. The physician gasped as he gave Yang Yun a look over. Yang Yun was dressed in black, so Han Zhenting did not see the blood seeping through his clothes. However, looking at Yang Yun's pale lips and complexion, Han Zhenting could guess that Yang Yun must have lost a lot of blood.

The old physician sat beside Yang Yun and examined Yang Yun's pulse. After a while, he frowned. Once he finished, Han Zhenting went out of the carriage and said to the soldiers, "take him to the treatment room, but be very careful." Then he turned to the a.s.sisting physician and said, "Prepare my surgical tools."

The others listened to Han Zhenting's command and dispersed immediately to get their job done.

"Grandfather," Jiang Xiao Tian called. "What happened to Yang Yun? Is it serious?"

Han Zhenting glanced at his grandson and sighed. The two walked towards the treatment room in a quick, large stride. "It's quite bad. He lost a lot of blood. How did he get to this state?"

Jiang Xiao Tian frowned as he heard Grandfather's question. He knew that Yang Yun was on a mission to the Western Border after the group of people who went to sent His Majesty's aid went missing. When he visited Yan Zifu's place, he heard the news that the group of people was found dead and the cargo was nowhere to be found.

Jiang Xiao Tian watched his grandfather entered the treatment room and turned around. He found the soldier who accompanied Yang Yun in the carriage and started to question him about what happened.

When Yang Yun did not return to their site after taking a short break, Yan Qing and the others went to find him. When they saw Yang Yun, he was battling with two men. The team quickly joined in the fight and successfully apprehended the two men. One of the men was the missing official sent by the Emperor to the Western state, and the other was a local thug.

The two men were taken into the army camp under General An to be interrogated. However, Yang Yun had injuries all over his body. A military physician in General An's camp did his best to treat Yang Yun's injury. However, Yang Yun's injury was too serious. The military physician recommended them to take Yang Yun back to the capital and get treatment there.

Jiang Xiao Tian frowned after the soldier named Yan Qing finished his story. Xiao Tian had heard a lot of good praise from his brother, Jiang Xiao Tian. For Yang Yun to get injured as severe as this, Yang Yun was too reckless.

Jiang Xiao Tian instructed a soldier to sent out letters to inform both his father, the old General and his elder brother, Jiang Xiao Xian about Yang Yun's condition. Then, he waited outside the tent. Once in a while, he would watch an a.s.sisting physician walked in and out of the tent carrying hot water or medicine with them.

The operation lasted for hours. When the other a.s.sisting physician walked out of the tent, the sky has almost turned dark. Jiang Xiao Tian walked in into the tent carrying a container of food that his mother sent.

When Jiang Xiao Tian walked in, he found his grandfather leaning on the wall with his eyes closed. Xiao Tian quickly went to his grandfather's side and held the older man's arm. "Grandfather. Are you alright?"

Han Zhenting opened his eyes and nodded when he saw his grandson. "I'm alright. I'm just old. It has been a while since I partake in a long surgery like this. Back then, Mingyue will take part in my stead."

Jiang Xiao Tian heaved a sigh. He grabbed the container beside him and said, "Mother had prepared food for you. You should eat and replenish your energy. I have already eaten with others."

Han Zhenting nodded. He sat up properly and took the food container from his grandson. Han Zhenting's stomach began to rumble as he could smell the food. He grabbed the chopsticks and began to eat slowly.

Jiang Xiao Tian sighed as handed his grandfather a drink. He glanced towards the other room where Yang Yun was resting and asked, "Grandfather, how is Yang Yun? Is everything alright?"

Grandfather paused before he spoke, "I don't know. We have done our best to treat him. However, Yang Yun has already lost a lot of blood as he traveled back. I don't know when he will wake up. We can only pray that he will wake up soon. In the meantime, I will continue the treatment on him."
