Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 179 What do you think of the Eldest Princess?

Awooo—

As the princess's arrow flew out, the brown bear let out a miserable cry.

An arrow was stuck in its left eye, with the fletching almost disappearing into its eye socket, showing how powerful the arrow was!

Just as the princess had anticipated, the intense pain from being shot in the eye drove the brown bear into a frenzy.

He suddenly shook his head and then fell directly to the ground.

Zhou Wei quickly climbed upwards, glancing back briefly in a moment of shock.

The brown bear that landed clearly had something in its mouth.

When Zhou Wei squinted and looked closely, she realized that it was actually a person's lower leg!

"Third Prince, your leg..."

The Third Prince seemed oblivious to the pain, using Zhou Wei's strength to climb upwards.

His strong will to survive made him completely ignore the fact that his calf was bleeding profusely!

Seeing this, Zhou Wei immediately understood that the Third Prince's adrenaline was surging, making him temporarily forget the pain and only want to escape.

But once it's safe, this guy will start yelling and screaming!

The two finally managed to climb to the height where the princess was, with the horde of beasts rushing past below them.

A few wild beasts, attracted by the blood dripping from the Third Prince, eventually gave up due to the intimidation of the Eldest Princess's heavy bow and turned back to mingle with the beast tide.

The generals were in similar situations. Fortunately, they didn't have much to gain from the hunt, so they kept many arrows.

Otherwise, we might not have been able to hold onto our position in the tree!

The eldest princess looked at the third prince's legs and said with pity, "Yue Lin, you..."

Only after the Third Prince was out of danger did he finally feel the pain. His face turned deathly pale instantly, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

"It hurts!"

Without saying a word, Zhou Wei used a dagger to cut the fabric on her skirt, tearing it into strips.

Grabbing the Third Prince's leg, he said to the Eldest Princess, "Princess, hold him tight. This leg needs immediate treatment, or his life will be in danger."

The eldest princess cooperated perfectly, immediately restraining the third prince's arms from behind.

Zhou Wei wrapped the Third Prince's severed leg with strips of cloth. The tearing caused blood vessels and tissue to be exposed at the cut, which was quite horrifying!

As Zhou Wei strained, the Third Prince cried out in pain, "Zhou Wei, what are you doing? It hurts so much!"

"Bear with it, Third Prince, there's more pain to come!"

After Zhou Wei tightly bandaged the area above the Third Prince's severed limb, she finally stopped the bleeding.

He then took out the meteorite needles he always carried and inserted them into several acupoints on his legs.

The intense pain caused the Third Prince to roll his eyes and convulse. The Eldest Princess could only hold him tightly from behind to prevent him from falling off the tree.

After a while, the Third Prince finally calmed down, his whole body soaked as if he had been pulled out of the water.

Although Zhou Wei's acupuncture treatment was extremely painful at first, it became bearable later on.

The first thing the Third Prince said when he opened his eyes was to ask Zhou Wei, "Zhou Dianjun, I remember that you know the Purple Illumination Nine Needles from the Divine Doctor Valley. Back in the Marquis's mansion, you used this acupuncture technique to expose that fraudster Wan Qianliang."

"I've heard that the divine physician Gu Zizhao has mastered the Nine Needles technique to its extreme, capable of reviving the dead and restoring flesh to bones! I wonder if my leg might grow back?"

Limb regeneration?

This question has now reached Zhou Wei.

She asked the system in her mind: "Is the acupuncture technique of the Divine Doctor Valley really that powerful, capable of bringing the dead back to life and healing broken bones?"

Do you even know what "claiming" means?

Okay, Zhou Wei understands.

In ancient times, boasting was usually just bragging.

The army was said to number 800,000, but in reality, it was only 500,000 at most; the rest were engineering teams and logistical support personnel.

The title "Valley of Divine Healers" is probably just a way for the secular world to praise a blessed land!

In Zhou Wei's mind, such a miracle as limb regeneration could only be accomplished by gods.

But the Great Zhou Dynasty doesn't even have a single cultivator at the Land Immortal Realm, let alone these divine techniques.

Even the secrets of Kongshan Temple were obscured because someone used external forces, such as the Heavenly Secret Stone, to achieve this.

To put it bluntly, it's cheating!

Zhou Wei had no choice but to tell the truth to avoid giving the Third Prince unrealistic fantasies.

"Third Prince, my acupuncture technique cannot do this. Even Wan Fengnian, the master of the Divine Doctor Valley, does not have this ability."

Unless Wan Fengnian has already entered the realm of terrestrial immortals.

Upon hearing this, the Third Prince was utterly disappointed and began to mutter to himself.

"Then from now on..."

The eldest princess looked at her younger brother and assumed he was grieving that he would be unable to walk normally in the future.

Unexpectedly, the Third Prince's next words were: "Wouldn't my trouser legs be empty from now on? With a missing section, how can those gorgeous robes accentuate my tall and mighty aura?"

Zhou Wei was so shocked by those words that she almost couldn't grab onto the tree trunk.

Is this the key point?

The Third Prince's brain is definitely not normal!

Having lost all his calves, his concern is that his clothes won't look good in the future?

But then Zhou Wei thought about it and felt relieved. The Third Prince was just a show-off anyway.

Even if they were dirt poor, they would still wear fake jade and other fake items to save face, and they would still wear gorgeous clothes, specifically the most fashionable styles in the capital.

This gave Zhou Wei the illusion that the Third Prince was wealthy, and she robbed him of a lot of scrap metal during the first robbery.

"If you really care about this, I can make you a prosthetic leg."

Limb regeneration belongs to the realm of metaphysics, while prosthetics belong to the realm of science, and Zhou Wei can certainly accomplish this.

Upon hearing this, the Third Prince excitedly grabbed Zhou Wei's hand: "Zhou Dianjun, if you can really do it, I will follow you from now on."

"Alright, alright. You made that promise once when I saved you. If you say it too many times, it loses its value."

The temporary safety put everyone at ease.

Although the Third Prince's leg was injured, he at least survived.

Qian Tao, who was squatting in a tree not far away watching the Third Prince, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Unlike Qian Tao, who was relaxed, Feng Polu looked at the Third Prince's legs thoughtfully.

He whispered, "Old Qian, this is going to be difficult!"

Qian Tao hadn't even reacted yet: "What's so difficult?"

"Third Prince..." Feng Polu gestured towards the direction where the Third Prince and the Eldest Princess were, "Anyone with a physical disability cannot be the Crown Prince!"

"If the seven-day period is up and the Imperial Noble Consort still wants to depose the Crown Prince, the Third Prince is already out of the running."

The military generals generally held a negative view of the crown prince. Qian Tao's ability to openly criticize the crown prince in court as being ignorant of military matters reveals the generals' attitude.

Moreover, the fact that Mei Xingyue forced Li to commit suicide in the Eastern Palace has already spread throughout the court.

If Li An hadn't been concerned for the people, he would have long ago risked his life to fight for justice for his beloved daughter.

The Crown Prince is no good, nor is the Third Prince. The First and Second Princes are in their fiefdoms, far removed from the center of the court for many years.

Now, the entire royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot find a suitable person to be the crown prince!

As Qian Tao pondered, his gaze involuntarily drifted to the Eldest Princess not far away.

The eldest princess knelt on a thick tree branch, holding a heavy bow and keenly observing her surroundings.

She had drawn that heavy bow countless times, yet she showed no signs of fatigue.

It was only because the princess had been shooting arrows to drive away the beasts for the other generals that everyone was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Moreover, during the beast tide, the princess made a decisive move, ordering everyone to abandon their horses and climb trees.

Qian Tao had never seen such a courageous and resourceful woman before!

Even many military officers did not possess the Princess's abilities and calm demeanor in the face of adversity.

"Old Feng, what do you think of the Princess?"
