Chapter 149: The Queen Mother

  Xia Lin glared at me and said coldly: "You think she's pretty? Have your eyes grown to the back of your head? Hmph!"

  I couldn't help but laugh again, looking at Xia Lin who didn't know what to do. √ Eight One Chinese Net.

  Min Hui Zhen surprisingly seemed to have not heard Xia Lin's words, looking at me with a smiling face, as if she had just seen another friend.

  Xia Lin cried out in a stuffy voice: "Shixiong, my wound hurts again, come and help me stop the pain!"

  I looked at Min Hui-jin helplessly and sat down beside Xia Lin, whispering: "Is it true? It can't be ineffective so soon, right?"

  Xia Lin's eyes turned red, looking wronged: "What do you say? I just feel uncomfortable, you have to help me, make me feel a little better."

  I slightly furrowed my brow, but said with a smile: "Or I'll accompany you and chat for a bit, talk about our feelings?"

  As soon as I spoke, Xia Lin's face turned red instantly. She didn't dare to speak or look at me again. I knew she was trying to get back at Min Hui Zhen by talking nonsense, but since I understood what Min Hui Zhen meant, I just went along with it and made up more nonsense. In an instant, Xia Lin retreated in disarray.

  Min Huizhen burst out laughing and then said to me, "Actually, I have a daughter who is one year younger than Yue Shen. She's really beautiful, just like an immortal. If you follow me, I can introduce you two."

  I was stunned, and then I heard Xia Lin say: "Is that your daughter? That's our princess, the Queen Mother's daughter. Don't flatter yourself, you're just a nanny who has fed the princess for a few days, what's so great about that?"

  Min Huizhen raised her head and said, "I am the princess's wet nurse. Isn't the princess my daughter? Don't be stubborn with me. The princess herself acknowledges me as her godmother. What are you talking about? You just called Jin Cang 'Shixiong' a moment ago, didn't you? I know that Jin Cang is a disciple of Wudang and has nothing to do with you."

  Xia Lin said with a huff: "Jin Cang is just my senior brother, don't believe me? Go ask Jin Cang."

  Min Hui Zhen looked at me and saw that I nodded slightly, immediately exclaimed in surprise: "No wonder you were rescued by Jin Cang and sent back. Now I have reason to suspect that when you were in the capital, you were deliberately performing for us to see. You said you were caught, but somehow you were let go by Jin Cang... This must be your conspiracy. Tell me, what is your plan?"

  Xia Lin was taken aback, suddenly thought of something, a hint of unease flashed across her face, and she looked at me without saying a word.

  I have a bad feeling about this, even Hui Zhen knows I came here with ulterior motives, let alone Wang Mu. It seems I underestimated the situation, and it's possible that I won't be able to complete my mission this time. Who knows, I might even get caught by Wang Mu of the Goddess Organization and interrogated, or worse, give them an excuse to attack our government.

  I knew that if I said one wrong word, I might be directly caught by this Min Hui Zhen, so I had to carefully consider my words: "Guangming Shen, I indeed secretly released Xia Lin, you can go investigate this."

  Min Hui Zhen coldly smiled and said: "Only a three-year-old child would believe what you just said."

  I was anxious and had no choice but to make something up: "As for why I secretly let Xia Lin and the others go, it's just that... I've developed feelings for Xia Lin."

  As soon as I said this, Xia Lin was almost immediately stunned. Even Min Hui Zhen also had a look of surprise on her face, as if she had heard the most unbelievable words.

  I knew that Hui Zhen would not easily believe me, so I continued: "Not only did I let Xia Lin go, but I also taught her the Wudang heart method. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xia Lin."

  Min Hui Zhen's face no longer had a smile on it, but instead looked at Xia Lin with a very cold gaze: "Xia Lin, is what he said true?"

  Xia Lin nodded slightly: "Yes." Her voice was very soft, but she said it firmly.

  Min Hui Zhen furrowed her brow, seemingly considering our words. After a long while, Min Hui Zhen finally said: "You two aren't already together, are you?"

  Xia Lin immediately shook her head, then immediately nodded, with a bewildered expression.

  Min Hui Zhen immediately said: "Are you two together or not? Tell the truth!"

  Xia Lin didn't dare to confront Min Hui Zhen again and honestly said: "We are friends..."

  Min Hui Zhen sighed and said, "What can be done about this? Xia Lin, you know that Jin Cang is a military man, our enemy. How can you get along with him? Now Wang Mu is injured and doesn't know about this matter, if Wang Mu finds out, you'll be in trouble."

  Min Hui Zhen's words didn't seem like an exaggeration, on the contrary, she seemed to be genuinely considering Xia Lin's well-being.

  Xia Lin whispered: "Queen Mother will know about it too, I...I'm already with Jin Cang, so even if Queen Mother blames me, I won't regret it."

  My heart skipped a beat as I looked at Xia Lin, and her face was calm, just like what she said was true.

  Min Hui-zhen sighed and said: "Since that's the case, I won't say anything more. Remember my words, be careful with everything, and don't let others know about Jin Cang's identity."

  Xia Lin was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

  Min Hui Zhen waved her hand: "My intention is very clear, you think about it yourself."

  After saying this, the intruder Min Hui Zhen surprisingly left just like that and didn't insist on taking me away.

  Xia Lin's face was full of surprise and confusion, muttering: "What's wrong with her today, she didn't even insist on taking you away!"

  I laughed and said, "Do you want her to take me away?"

  Xia Lin immediately shook her head: "How could that be? I just feel like she's not herself... You don't know, in the past when we made mistakes, she would definitely hold us accountable. And each time the punishment was very severe, our people were all afraid to see her."

  I slightly furrowed my brow: "So, it seems that there's indeed something not quite right. Earlier she seemed to have said that Queen Mother might not live for much longer, and also said that she herself might become the next generation of Queen Mother. But just now, she was clearly on your side, helping us out. Could it be that she's actually trying to win you over?"

  Xia Lin shook her head and said with certainty, "This doesn't feel right, let me think about it carefully." As she spoke, she immediately fell silent and began to think.

  I quietly waited for Xia Lin, until she raised her head and said to me: "Take my token and go find Dongfang Yonghao, let Dongfang Yonghao immediately gather all the personnel under my command to come here at Gaotai. We may have something to do."

  I nodded, and Xia Lin handed over an ancient-colored beautiful jade: "Is this your military token? It's very pretty. But where can I find Dongfang Yonghao?"

  Xia Lin said: "They should be in the infirmary now. You can have the guards outside bring you there. With my token, they will listen to your orders."

  I smiled slightly and turned around to leave, directly finding a guard and asking him to take me to see Dongfang Yonghao.

  The guard saw Xia Lin's token and really listened to her, without saying a word, he took me to the outside of a building that looked like it used to be a hotel next to the high tower.

  The houses here are all built on small flat lands, and when viewed from the outside of the mountain, they can hardly be seen. Now that I've arrived here, I realize that the buildings here are still quite majestic. Like this tall tower, like this hotel, they are all 40-50 meters high, no less than those city buildings outside.

  A 20-story hotel was converted into a clinic, or even a hospital. If there were enough medical equipment and doctors and nurses, it might have become a hospital.

  When the guard brought me into this infirmary, I saw Dongfang Yonghao standing outside. When he saw me, he knew I was looking for him and walked over.

  I took out the military token and showed it to him, then said: "Xia Lin told you to call all your people over to the high tower side, saying there's something going on."

  Dongfang Yonghao took a glance at the military token and nodded, saying: "I'll contact them right away. You go back and tell my young mistress that we will soon be heading towards the High Tower."

  I nodded and turned to walk towards the high tower. Just then, I heard Li Yingying's voice come over: "Jin Cang, wait a minute."

  I turned around and saw that Li Yingying was still wearing gloves, and there were also a lot of bloodstains on her clothes: "Is the operation over?"

  Li Yingying shook her head, bitterly smiling: "I need your help, Queen Mother might not make it, I need you to use your true energy to temporarily hold onto her life for me, and give me enough time to operate."

  I thought for a moment and turned around to walk towards Li Yingying: "Alright, I'll be a good person again. Hopefully you haven't saved the wrong person."

  "No matter who it is, in my eyes they are all patients. If they are patients, then they need to be saved. This is the responsibility of us doctors."

  I'm not interested in discussing a doctor's responsibilities with her. Following her into the interior of the infirmary, I immediately saw Wang Mu lying on an operating table.

  I saw the Queen Mother's appearance, which was very kind and gentle. Her face was made up, so it was impossible to tell her exact age. However, from her exposed hands, it could be seen that the Queen Mother was not very old.

  Under Li Yingying's command, I slowly input the true energy in my body into Wang Mu's body. Li Yingying grasped every minute to perform surgery, racing against time to save lives.

  I saw Li Yingying's back clothes were all wet, obviously she was both tired and anxious. The anxious and tired Li Yingying still insisted on doing the surgery, her serious look moved everyone around her.

  I slightly increased the true energy entering and exiting Wang Mu's body, allowing Li Yingying's operation time to be a bit longer.

  When Li Yingying was having the surgery, I saw that she seemed more exhausted than fighting an enemy, and my heart was secretly horrified, knowing that this operation was very difficult. Moreover, the conditions here were simple, which made it even harder for Li Yingying.

  The queen mother suddenly spoke up with the help of my true energy: "Is Ying'er here?"

  Li Ying jumped in fright and hastily said to me: "Don't let her move, the operation has reached the most critical moment, she absolutely cannot move."

  I had no choice but to reach out and hold down Wang Mu, constantly pouring in true energy to prevent her from moving due to the pain.

  The queen mother seemed to understand what we were doing, and whispered: "I won't move, you can rest assured. I want to see my Ying'er, who will go and call her for me? I have something to say."

  I glanced at the doctors and nurses standing beside me and said, "Does anyone of you know where Ying'er is? Go call her over."

  A nurse nodded and left, then I heard Wang Mu say: "You're not from around here, are you Jin Cang?"

  I find it very strange, because this Queen Mother has never seen me before, how can she see through my identity at a glance?

  The Queen Mother said: "Jin Cang, you can come and save me, it's clear that you are sincere in coming to help us. Thank you..."

  I was even more surprised: "Have you seen me before? And why did you say I'm here to help you guys? What's going on with you?"

  The Queen Mother slightly furrowed her brow, as if she felt a pang of pain. I immediately increased the amount of true energy I was infusing again, and then waited for the Queen Mother's response. The Queen Mother said, "Are you using your true energy to help me stop the pain? Thank you so much."

  I smiled and said, "I feel that you are also a martial artist, and the kung fu you practice seems to be one of the styles from Shaolin. I didn't expect Wang Mu to be a martial artist too. I'm honored to be able to help you."

  The Queen Mother smiled slightly: "I still can't tell you how I knew about you, but I can tell you that I won't harm you."

  I smiled: "That's enough. I really want to help you out, it's just that I don't know if you'll believe my good intentions."

  The Queen Mother frowned again, as if she was about to lose control. I hastily increased the amount of true energy infused into her body and secretly put the Queen Mother to sleep. Then I asked Li Yingying: "Is the surgery almost done? I'm about to collapse."

  Li Yingying said without lifting her head: "Ten more minutes, don't talk, so I won't be distracted."

  I nodded slightly, closed my eyes, and concentrated on channeling the true energy into Wang Mu's body. The true energy within me was still quite abundant; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to withstand such a massive infusion of true energy.

  Ten minutes later, Li Yingying raised her head and let out a long sigh, saying: "The operation was successful... Fortunately, Jin Cang's true energy was sufficient, otherwise, without anesthesia, I really couldn't guarantee the success of the operation."

  I didn't cut off the true energy immediately, but continued to input it into Wang Mu's body: "So Wang Mu's life is no longer in danger?"

  Li Yingying nodded slowly: "It can be said that way. However, she cannot move at present, and twelve hours later, if the wound does not become infected, it will be fine."

  I glanced at the infusion tube connected to Wang Mu and said: "Aren't you infusing now? Can't some antibiotics be added?"

  Li Yingying smiled: "I added it early, but there are some viruses. The current antibiotics don't have much effect either. I hope this simple infirmary doesn't have those viruses, otherwise, I still won't be at ease with Wang Mu's illness."

  I slowly stopped inputting true energy into Wang Mu's body, then withdrew my hand and stood up: "How was Wang Mu injured?"

  Li Yingying said: "The bullet wounded her lungs, which is nothing. But the bullet head has poison on it. That's why Wang Mu was injured so badly."

  I slightly furrowed my brow: "It seems that the enemy wants to drive Wang Mu to death. Do you have any other evidence?"

  Li Ying shook her head: "Bullet heads are just ordinary sniper rifle bullet heads, nowadays they're still fighting, this kind of thing is everywhere, nothing strange about it."

  I nodded: "Nor do I know who wants to kill Queen Mother, can only wait for Queen Mother to wake up and ask her."

  Li Yingying looked very tired, quietly took a step back and sat down, then said: "I'm very tired, I want to rest for a while. If there's anything else, let's talk about it later."

  I immediately asked the doctors and nurses beside me: "Is there a room?"

  A nurse said cautiously: "Next door is a sickroom, it's empty at the moment."

  I immediately helped Li Yingying and came to the ward with her, letting her rest for a while. I myself hurried back to the high-rise building and arrived at Xia Lin's room.

  Dongfang Yonghao hadn't returned to the tower yet, and when Xialin saw me, she hastily said: "How come you've been gone for so long? Have you seen Dongfang Yonghao?"

  I told her about the assistance I provided to Li Yingying in treating Wang Mu earlier, then said: "Wait a little while and those who have gone to gather under your command will be back soon, it shouldn't take too long."

  Xia Lin slightly relieved: "That's good, hopefully Queen Mother is fine. By the way, Jin Cang, you'd better go protect Queen Mother, I'm worried that someone inside wants to deal with Queen Mother, you go protect Queen Mother for a while, and I'll feel more at ease."

  I laughed: "You completely believe me now, don't you know that I'm still not considered one of your people yet?"

  Xia Lin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I don't know if you are one of us, but I'm sure you will take good care of Queen Wang, that's one thing I'm certain of."

  I forced a smile: "Looks like you've got me cornered, knowing I won't abandon someone to die. Alright, I'll do as you say and go protect the Queen Mother."

  I turned around and came back to the infirmary where Wang Mu was, standing inside the infirmary, just like a guard, protecting Wang Mu.

  Li Yingying seemed to be really tired, and only woke up after resting for six hours. When she arrived at Wang Mu's operating room, Wang Mu had just woken up too.

  Li Yingying examined Wang Mu for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's nothing serious, Wang Mu is also a martial artist, with good physical quality. Plus Jin Cang's help, now it's almost nothing."

  I let out a sigh of relief and smiled, saying: "This is for the best, I can also go rest now. The next thing will be handed over to Dr. Li."

  Li Yingying smiled: "Let's go later, at least help me send Wang Mu to the ward next door, she can't always stay here."

  I stretched out my hand and picked up Queen Mother, directly heading towards the ward next door. The guards, doctors and nurses on the side all had their mouths agape, completely looking like they had seen a ghost.

  After I settled Wang Mu down, Li Yingying whispered to me: "Wang Mu is awake now, why are you still treating her like this? Be careful not to be misunderstood."

  I forced a smile: "Don't spout nonsense, hurry up and treat Queen Mother, we don't have much time left."

  Li Yingying nodded slightly and turned to administer the infusion to Queen Mother. These things could have been done by those doctors and nurses, but Li Yingying didn't trust them, so she did everything herself.

  It's really strange, the original purpose of Li Yingying and I coming here was to investigate the Goddess Organization, but unexpectedly we ended up saving the injured Xia Lin halfway, and after arriving here, we even rescued Wang Mu again. I don't know if we are enemies or friends with your Goddess Organization anymore.

  But as Li Yingying said, no matter who we meet, we can't just ignore them and do nothing. Let's save people first, then talk about everything else later.

  Before I could think more, Queen Mother suddenly said: "Jin Cang, trouble you to go find my daughter, she is the princess of this place, called Ying Er."

  I had a sudden movement in my heart, and I remembered that the Queen Mother had sent someone to call her daughter over earlier, but so far, there was no response. So I thought of a possibility: this girl named Ying'er was caught by the sniper.

  So I immediately thought of passing on the Queen Mother's order and letting the guards outside search everywhere. I'm not familiar with this place, and even if I wanted to help, there was no way, so I could only instruct others to go find her.

  The Queen Mother said again: "Jin Cang, this is handed over to you. It's your first task for entering our Goddess organization and also the condition for you to join us."
