Chapter 25: Power Can Bring Everything!

Two days later!

Yangcheng!

The infirmary.

Wearing his military uniform, Zhao Feng stood side by side with Master Chen, the chief physician of the Lantian camp. At this moment, Master Chen was holding a needle and thread, suturing the wound of a heavily injured soldier.

Once the suturing was complete.

Zhao Feng immediately took the medicine to apply to the soldier's wound and then wrapped it with bandages.

"Treated one wounded soldier, obtained 1 Merit Point," the panel prompted.

"Brother Chen, you have now completely mastered the suturing method. From now on, it will depend on you to pass this technique down so that more of our Great Qin's wounded soldiers can survive," Zhao Feng said to Master Chen with a smile.

"Haha."

"That is only because you taught me well."

"Moreover, your talent is truly high; your technique in treating the wounded is becoming increasingly skillful," Master Chen said with a smile.

Having fully mastered the suturing method, Master Chen was also very happy.

"By the way, Brother Chen, what happened regarding my request to join the medical corps?"

At this moment!

Zhao Feng asked with a smile.

After killing Bao Yuan and so many Han soldiers, while becoming stronger!

After the battle.

Zhao Feng naturally understood that he was bound to enter the sightlines of the upper echelons.

Simply killing so many enemy soldiers was extremely shocking, let alone killing a high-ranking general.

Such military merit was too immense.

Zhao Feng knew that with such strength, they would never let him remain in the logistics corps. Therefore, when he heard that Master Chen was going to pull him into the infirmary, Zhao Feng immediately became excited.

The infirmary allowed him to gain Merit Points, and it was far from the battlefield—it was a lucrative position!

Over the past two days, Zhao Feng had not stayed in the original infirmary to nurse the wounded, but had followed Master Chen's medical corps to Yangcheng to continue treating the wounded.

Currently, Zhao Feng's Merit Points had reached 115. Compared to obtaining attributes, the Merit Points gained from these medical treatments were much more enticing.

"No news has come back yet."

"But it is a near certainty."

"I never personally asked Wang Jian, so I believe he will not refuse me," Master Chen said with a very confident smile.

Just then!

At the entrance of the infirmary.

Wang Yan walked in slowly.

"Look, the news should have arrived."

Seeing Wang Yan arrive, a smile immediately appeared on Master Chen's face.

"I hope I can stay in the medical corps," Zhao Feng thought to himself, secretly anticipating it.

Wang Yan walked over slowly.

"Physician Chen, this is a letter sent from the High General's camp." Wang Yan held the bamboo slip with both hands and handed it to Master Chen.

"Thank you for your trouble," Master Chen said, thanking her, and immediately took it to read.

But upon seeing the contents of the bamboo slip, the smile on Master Chen's face froze.

"What is it?"

Seeing this expression, Zhao Feng sensed that something was wrong.

"Wang Jian refused your entry into our medical corps. He even said you have a greater purpose; he has already petitioned the King to have you reassigned to the main combat corps," Master Chen said, his expression looking very grim.

Zhao Feng's face, however, remained very calm; he had long expected this.

Wang Jian even petitioned the King of Qin to transfer him to the main combat corps?

Had he caught the eye of Qin Shi Huang?

If the King of Qin truly issued an edict, then even if he wanted to leave, he wouldn't be able to.

"This Wang Jian..."

"He was the one begging me to come to Lantian to manage the medical corps, and now that I finally find the courage to ask him for a favor, he actually refuses."

"This won't do."

"I must go find him personally," Master Chen said, looking displeased.

"Physician Chen."

"Perhaps you do not yet realize Zhao Feng's true value?"

Wang Yan spoke from the side, a hint of a smile in her voice.

"He serves in the logistics corps. Aside from his medical skills, is there anything else different about him?" Master Chen frowned.

His sole concern was medical skill and healing.

He did not know what kind of merit Zhao Feng had achieved in this battle.

"If it weren't for Zhao Feng's bravery in leading the logistics corps to counterattack this time, our army would have suffered heavy losses, and our grain routes would have been destroyed by the enemy. Furthermore, Bao Yuan died at Zhao Feng's hands."

"Do you think the High General would allow such a brave and fierce general to become a physician?" Wang Yan said with a smile.

Hearing this.

Master Chen turned his head with a strange expression and looked at Zhao Feng: "Is it true?"

"It's true," Zhao Feng nodded, but then added earnestly, "But I really want to stay in the medical corps!"

"To hell with you."

"If I had known you were this fierce, I wouldn't have even dared to open my mouth."

"Do you know how much the current King values brave and fierce generals?"

"If the King knew you were this brave and found out Wang Jian transferred you to the medical corps, Wang Jian would certainly be reprimanded," Master Chen scolded him irritably.

"If I am transferred to the main corps, will I still be able to retire in two years?" Zhao Feng asked somewhat reluctantly.

"Ordinary soldiers serve a term of five years, and their rank is at least a first-level nobility."

"If one is disabled, they can retire and will be assigned a position in their home region."

"But if one is a commander or higher, they can retire in old age and will be assigned a position within the imperial court," Wang Yan explained slowly.

Hearing this.

A look of disappointment appeared on Zhao Feng's face.

"Brother Zhao."

"I find this a bit confusing."

"For a soldier in the logistics corps, being transferred to the main corps is an honor and comes with increasing annual stipends."

"Moreover, you have achieved such great merit. According to the Great Qin military merit system, your official rank could rise several levels, and your nobility would increase significantly. If you were to be promoted within the logistics corps, your status would be much lower compared to the main corps for the same rank, but once you are transferred to the main corps, your advancement will be substantial and real," Master Chen asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Since my mother gave birth to my sister and me, her body has been depleted, leaving her weak and sickly. I want to go home early to take care of her."

"I also want to go home alive!" Zhao Feng sighed and spoke truthfully.

Upon hearing this, a look of admiration appeared on Master Chen's face: "Good lad, you truly are a man of emotion, righteousness, and filial piety."

"However."

"You want to take care of your mother,"

"Is that any better than having maids serve her?" Master Chen asked back with a smile.

"What do you mean by that, Brother Chen?" Zhao Feng was puzzled.

"Do you truly not understand, or are you just pretending not to?"

"As long as you obtain power and authority, do you still fear that no one will take care of your mother?"

"You have achieved such great merit this time; the King will surely grant you heavy rewards."

"And it is not just for the merit of killing enemies and generals; I have also petitioned for the great merit of your contribution of the suturing method and your medical skills."

"With these, not only can you gain official rank and nobility along with the corresponding lands, but the King has always been immensely gracious to meritorious officials. He will surely reward you heavily, and attendants are one such reward. If you are granted attendants, with so many people looking after your mother, why would you still worry?" Master Chen said with a laugh.

Hearing this.

Zhao Feng's face showed a slight sense of astonishment.

"Brother Zhao."

"Let me tell you a truth today."

"A man lives a life to strive for fame and merit."

"Not just for yourself, but for your family, and even more for your descendants."

"As long as you possess power, you can have whatever you desire."

"And you, you have the foundation to achieve it," Master Chen said slowly.
