On the day of rebirth, I took my baby to find Jiuqiansui to recognize his relatives

Wu Junyao walked into the clinic with the first rays of sunshine in the morning, and his arrival broke the tranquility in the clinic.

Qiu Shuang was tending to the newly planted herbs in the backyard. When she heard footsteps, she looked up and saw the uninvited guest. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"General Wu, why are you here?" Qiu Shuang put down the shovel in her hand and asked politely.

Wu Junyao smiled slightly, his smile was always a bit mysterious, "Miss Qiu Shuang, I came here this time because I have something important to tell Doctor Jiang and you."

Qiu Shuang heard this and felt that this matter was very serious, so she quickly led the way to Jiang Yanwan's study. Jiang Yanwan was flipping through a medical book, and when she heard Qiu Shuang's voice, she looked up and saw Wu Junyao, with a look of surprise.

"General Wu, what brings you here?" Jiang Yanwan put down the book.

Wu Junyao got straight to the point. "Recently, witch doctors in the Western Regions have become famous. They are said to be proficient in various strange arts. Your Majesty is worried that their opening of medical clinics in Beijing will undermine the status of our dynasty's medicine, so he intends to hold a medical competition to demonstrate the profoundness of our dynasty's medical skills. Your Majesty intends to let you represent the medical officers of the capital to compete."

Jiang Yanwan frowned slightly when she heard this. After a moment's silence, she said, "This is a competition that concerns the reputation of the country. I naturally have no choice but to take part in it. But I wonder if Your Majesty has made any promises?"

Wu Junyao nodded, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes, "Doctor Jiang is indeed very perceptive. His Majesty promised that if you win the competition, you can make a wish, and he will grant it as long as it is not excessive."

Qiu Shuang, who was listening carefully, thought of Xiao Liu's future and quickly interrupted, "If Doctor Jiang wins, can you ask His Majesty to cancel Xiao Liu's marriage?"

Wu Junyao looked at Qiu Shuang, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, "Miss Qiu Shuang is indeed a person who values ​​friendship and loyalty. Although I dare not guarantee this matter, if Doctor Jiang can really win, I will definitely fight for you in front of His Majesty."

Jiang Yanwan thought for a moment and finally nodded, "Okay, I agree to this competition. But before that, I need to prepare some special herbs and tools. Can Governor Wu help me apply for some convenience from His Majesty?"

Wu Junyao readily agreed, "Of course, that's no problem. In addition, I will recommend someone to assist you. This person is quite knowledgeable about Western medicine and may be able to lend you a helping hand."

Hearing this, Qiu Shuang felt a spark of hope in her heart, "Thank you, Governor Wu, we will do our best."

The sunlight shines through the window lattice and onto the table piled with books. Jiang Yanwan and Qiu Shuang are buried in medical books and pharmacopoeias, making intensive preparations for the upcoming medical skills competition.

Outside the door, a burst of lively footsteps interrupted their concentration. It turned out that it was the people who had been cured by Jiang Yanwan before, coming with gratitude and expectation.

"Doctor Jiang, this is the Ganoderma lucidum we grow ourselves. I heard it has miraculous effects on strengthening the body. You must accept it!" An old man, with a smile hidden in his wrinkled face, held up an exquisite wooden box in his hands.

"We also have a century-old ginseng in our family. I hope it can be of help!" A woman followed closely behind and handed over a cloth bag.

Qiu Shuang took them one by one, her eyes slightly moist, and thanked softly: "We have received everyone's kindness, Doctor Jiang will definitely do his best and not let you down."

The most conspicuous person in the crowd was a young man. He squeezed through the crowd and walked in front of Jiang Yanwan, holding a small package tightly in both hands, looking a little uneasy.

"Doctor Jiang, this is a talisman my mother sewed by hand. She said it can protect people from harm. Although I can't help you with anything, please take it with you." The young man's eyes were full of determination.

Jiang Yanwan took it gently and patted the boy's shoulder tenderly, "Thank you, and please thank your mother on my behalf. This kind gesture is more precious than any medicinal herbs."

Just when everyone was in high spirits, the assistant recommended by Wu Junyao who was knowledgeable about Western medicine, a middle-aged man in a green shirt and with a gaunt face, walked into the clinic. He introduced himself: "I am Li Mubai. I heard about the noble character of Doctor Jiang, so I came to help."

Jiang Yanwan stood up to greet him, with a look of admiration in her eyes, "I have heard of Mr. Li's name a long time ago. It is our honor to have your help."

Li Mubai smiled slightly and took out an old map from his sleeve. "This map records the growing locations of many rare herbs in the Western Regions. It may be helpful for our preparations."

As night fell, the lights in the clinic were on, and the four of them sat together, discussing the strategies for the competition and the possible difficulties they might encounter.

With his rich knowledge, Li Mubai provided Jiang Yanwan with many new insights into Western medicine, which gradually made the originally difficult problem clear.

"As far as I know, Western witch doctors are best at using the power of nature. Their medical skills are often combined with spells and charms." Li Mubai pointed on the map while speaking, "We must not only be proficient in pharmacology, but also make breakthroughs in treatment concepts in order to defeat the enemy."

Qiu Shuang listened attentively, and suddenly thought of something, and asked anxiously: "Then do we also need to learn some spells or talismans?"

Jiang Yanwan shook her head. "Our Chinese medical skills focus on harmonizing yin and yang and following nature without the need for external forces. What we need to do is to demonstrate the essence of our medical skills, not to imitate others."

Wu Junyao appeared at the right time and brought good news, "I have secured for you the opportunity to enter the Royal Medicine Garden, where there are many rare medicinal materials, I believe it will be of great benefit to your preparations."

"Thank you, Governor Wu." Jiang Yanwan said gratefully.

As the night deepened, everyone else in the clinic had left, only Jiang Yanwan's light was still on.

She sat alone at the desk with an ancient and mysterious book of witchcraft spread out in front of her. Her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were flashing with determination and curiosity.

Qiu Shuang stood by worriedly, looking at the frightening book from time to time.

"Sister Yan Wan, this witchcraft is too dangerous. What if..." Qiu Shuang hesitated, her voice full of worry.

Jiang Yanwan raised her head, her eyes gentle but firm, "Qiu Shuang, for Xiao Liu, for our clinic, and to prove the profoundness of Chinese medicine, I must try. Only by understanding the enemy can we defeat the enemy."

Although she has some knowledge of witchcraft, she is still a dwarf compared to the witch doctors in the Western Regions. Therefore, in order to prepare for the next competition, she must know herself and her opponent well.

Qiu Shuang couldn't resist her insistence and could only wait silently by her side, praying in her heart that everything would go well.

The moonlight was like water, and its silver glow filled every corner of the clinic.

Jiang Yanwan carefully arranged the ceremony according to the records in ancient books, trying to tame the legendary Gu King.
