Chapter 1068: 517 Reap What You Sow (Added Chapter) Chapter 1068: 517 Reap What You Sow (Added Chapter) Having his dagger broken, Fei Shi went straight to the armory, taking the remnants with him to find the soldiers skilled in forging weapons and asked them to repair his dagger.

These soldiers were blacksmiths by trade. They had come to the military camp for the sole purpose of ironwork.

At the moment, they were busy mending the damaged armor and weapons for the military officers, scarcely able to keep up with the demand.

Although Fei Shi was a member of the prince consort’s retinue, repairing armor and weapons was an urgent command from Prince Yi.

Finally, when a soldier finished repairing a piece of armor, Fei Shi hurriedly handed over his dagger.

The soldier took a look and said, “The blade is broken.”

Fei Shi asked, “Can’t it be fixed?”

The soldier honestly replied, “It’s difficult. We usually repair blades that are bent or notched. Your dagger, Deputy Commander, is broken like this. It’s hard to reattach, and even if we do, there will be marks.”

The main issue was that their current smithing skills weren’t up to par. It was said that in Liang Country, they could join a broken blade seamlessly.

“So, there’s no way to fix it?” Fei Shi asked.

“Melt it down and remake it,” the soldier suggested.

“If it’s remade, would it still be the dagger the lord gave me?” Fei Shi felt blocked inside, but there was nothing he could do.

To pry open a small, broken box, to think he had broken the dagger given to him by his lord—it was infuriating!

In the end, Fei Shi chose not to melt down the blade. He took the broken dagger and walked back.

The more he thought about the matter, the angrier he got, and he unwittingly arrived at the place where Gu Jiao was being held.

It was a courtyard in the mansion used for storing miscellaneous items, and true to what the medical officer had said, it was indeed seldom visited by anyone.

However, only fifty paces from the main entrance of the storage courtyard, a large group of soldiers was in training.

Strictly speaking, the defense of the storage courtyard was very tight.

Fei Shi was feeling agitated and inevitably wanted to take out his anger on that Zhan Country soldier.

He arrived in front of Gu Jiao’s room and noticed the guard soldier was missing, causing his brows to furrow.

He remembered the door being open when he left, but now it was also closed.

These oddities made his expression darken instantly, and he pushed the door open unceremoniously, casting a wary glance inside.

He saw the medical officer standing at the bedside, leaning over to bandage the wrist wound of that Zhan Country soldier. Hearing the noise behind him and feeling the cold wind pouring in from outside, the medical officer turned his head and said to Fei Shi, “Deputy Commander Fei, would you mind closing the door? The patient is already suffering from cold damage, he can’t endure any more drafts or he won’t recover.”

“He can really recover?” Fei Shi let the medical officer string along the young man’s life with his words, but inwardly he was dismissive. After all, having spent years on the frontier, he had seen too many cases of frostbite; at this degree, survival was typically argued in a matter of days.

Clearing his throat, the medical officer said with displeasure, “Are you questioning my medical skills, Deputy Commander Fei?”

Fei Shi found himself at a loss for words. Although he was indeed questioning, saying it out loud was always embarrassing.

With a light cough, Fei Shi glanced at the young man’s wrists and asked, “Why did you untie his ropes?”

The medical officer said sternly, “He’s injured. Isn’t it you who told me to keep him alive? How can I bandage his wounds without untying the ropes? If I don’t and he gets an infection, what then? Barely hanging on after being frozen like that, it’s fortunate he didn’t die. Any further delay and not even the Daluo Immortals could save him!”

Since the medical officer said the young man was on his last breath, Fei Shi decided not to fuss over whether his hands should be tied or not.

“How much longer until he wakes up?” Fei Shi asked.

“That’s hard to say,” the medical officer replied, glancing at the door. “If you keep letting drafts in, he might not wake up for ten or fifteen days!”

Fei Shi swiftly entered the room and shut the door.

Soon after, he felt that something was not right. Why had he come in here? He didn’t need to watch over the boy!

“What about the man outside?” Fei Shi asked.

Feigning ignorance, the medical officer turned his back, continuing the pretend bandaging of non-existent wounds on Gu Jiao, while his eyes darted around evasively, “How should I know? I’ve been in here treating his wounds the whole time.”

“Where has that boy run off to now?” Fei Shi left the room, irritated.

“The door!”

The voice of the medical officer came from inside the room.

Frowning, Fei Shi, without a word, closed the door as he left!

Once he was sure Fei Shi had gone far, the medical officer collapsed onto the edge of the bed, his legs giving out beneath him.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and began to pant heavily, “That scared me to death… Thank goodness I didn’t give anything away… You have no idea about Prince Yi’s methods… If he found out I’d helped you…”

The medical officer stopped mid-sentence as something felt amiss. Upon closer inspection, he saw that Gu Jiao had fallen asleep in just the short span of the conversation!
