History Park: Starting with the Imjin War

Chapter 83 Awakening

When he woke up, Mo Qin first smelled a strong medicinal odor.

The taste was bitter, astringent, and had a hint of burnt mugwort.

When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the top of the tent.

It's not the kind of old, leaky account.

The tent was very thick, and there was a charcoal brazier burning inside.

Beneath him was a bed covered with thick felt.

Mo Qin blinked, his mind still a little fuzzy.

I remember that before he fainted, Liu Gao supported him, and Lin Jun pressed on his lower back.

Oh, there's one more thing.

Go back and record your merits...

Can I become a general this time...?

He tried to move.

My lower back felt like it had been stabbed again with a knife.

Mo Qin instantly broke out in a thick sweat from the pain.

pain.

It fucking hurts.

After a long pause, he slowly turned his head.

There was someone lying next to the bed!

Lin Jun.

She lay on the edge of the bed, half her face buried in her arms, with her other hand resting on the edge of the bed.

There were traces of medicine on his fingers, and his cuffs were badly wrinkled.

The beautiful woman before me was sleeping lightly, her brow furrowed.

Mo Qin looked at her, and his heart softened.

He slowly raised his hand.

He wanted to brush aside a strand of hair that was falling beside her face.

He raised his hand halfway, then stopped.

He thought about it and suddenly realized that the first thing he did after waking up was to get physical, which was a bit inhumane.

So he simply moved his hand to the side, intending to pull up her shawl that had slipped down.

But as soon as Lin Jun touched the cloak, he suddenly woke up with a start.

She reacted extremely quickly.

Almost instantly, he looked up and his right hand reached for the short sword at his waist.

She stopped when she saw that it was Mo Qin.

The tent was quiet for a while.

Lin Jun looked at him.

Then, a faint smile appeared on her tired face.

"You're awake?"

Mo Qin opened his mouth, but managed to squeeze out a single word.

"Um."

Lin Jun immediately got up and poured him some water.

She moved quickly, but her movements were a little more chaotic than usual.

Half a cup of water spilled onto the table.

As if she hadn't seen it, she quickly brought the cup to Mochin's lips.

"Slower."

Mo Qin took a sip from her hand.

As the warm water went down my throat, I felt as if I had come back to life a little longer.

He looked at Lin Jun.

"How long did I sleep?"

"Three days."

Mo Qin was taken aback.

"Oh my God?! It's been that long?"

Lin Jun looked at him speechlessly.

"Show some seriousness, will you? You almost died."

He said this calmly.

But Mochin could hear the concern in his voice.

Then, he lowered his voice by three octaves and said:

I'm sorry to have worried you.

Lin Jun did not speak.

She simply put the cup back on the table and reached out to touch Mo Qin's forehead.

Lin Jun breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that he did not have a fever.

"It's good that you're awake."

Mo Qin looked at the dark circles under her eyes.

"You haven't slept at all?"

"Yes, I slept."

Mo Qin looked down at the spot where she had just been lying.

Lin Jun's gaze darted away.

"Yeah, I just rested for a bit."

Mo Qin wanted to laugh.

The smile aggravated the wound, causing him to wince in pain.

Lin Jun frowned.

"Don't move."

"I didn't move around."

You were laughing just now.

"Can't I even laugh?"

"no."

Mochin chose to remain silent.

After a while, he whispered again:

"Then I won't laugh."

At this moment, the curtain was lifted.

But then Liu Gao burst in.

He was holding a bowl of medicine in his hand, and he was still calling out:

"Brother Lin, the medicine is ready. Old Ding said this time we can't..."

He froze mid-sentence.

"Brother Qin?"

Mo Qin raised his hand towards him.

"Hmm, don't be so loud, the person is still alive."

Liu Gao's eyes immediately reddened.

The next moment, as if afraid of being discovered, he immediately started yelling:

Everyone was so worried about you!

"Do you know you were in a coma for several days?"

"Three days."

With his hands covering his ears, Mo Qin shouted:

"It's only been three days! And could you please keep your voice down!"

Liu Gao walked over with the medicine, his eyes were very red, but he kept talking.

"You were bathed in golden light, like a deity descending to earth, which terrified us all."

"I thought you were going to fly up to the sky."

"The flight didn't go through, and I stayed in bed for three days after returning."

"Do you know how much Brother Lin has been watching over you these past three days?"

Lin Jun immediately glared at him.

Liu Gao coughed.

"Okay, I won't say anything more."

The curtain was lifted again.

Yan Qi walked in.

He was much quieter than Liu Gao, and he saw that Mo Qin had woken up.

He paused for a moment, then nodded.

"woke up."

Mo Qin said:

"Um."

Yan Qi glanced at Lin Jun.

Lightly said:

"Brother Lin hasn't slept much these past few days."

Lin Jun looked at him expressionlessly.

Yan Qi was not seen.

Mochin was very rational; in this situation, remaining silent was the best course of action.

Liu Gao muttered to himself:

"I just said that."

Lin Jun turned her head and looked at him again.

Liu Gao immediately shoved the medicine bowl into Mo Qin's hands.

"Take your medicine!"

Mo Qin was about to take it when his hand trembled and he almost dropped it.

Lin Jun took it.

"I'll do it."

The sound of monkeys could be heard outside the tent again.

"woke up?"

His voice arrived before he even came in.

"Really awake?"

The monkey lifted the curtain and entered the tent, its shoulder wrapped in cloth and its right hand wrapped in gauze, yet its face was quite rosy.

Upon seeing Mo Qin, he immediately clicked his tongue.

"Not bad, not bad."

Mochin looked at him.

"You don't sound like you're hoping I'll wake up."

The monkey immediately waved its hand.

"Innocent."

"I just want to see if that Super Saiyan-like number one guy will still be glowing after he wakes up."

Liu Gao was taken aback.

"What super-someone?"

The monkey said:

You wouldn't understand even if I told you.

Liu Gao disagreed.

"Wouldn't you understand if I just told you?"

The monkey looked at Mo Qin.

"If your hair stood up a little more, it would look even more like it."

Mo Qin almost choked halfway through drinking his medicine.

Lin Jun immediately frowned.

"Say less."

The monkey raises its hand.

"Okay, okay, I won't say."

But he couldn't help but add:

"It really does look quite similar."

The coach was the last to arrive.

He was neither as excited as Liu Gao, nor as incessantly muttering as a monkey.

He walked to the bedside and carefully examined Mo Qin's complexion.

He reached out and felt his pulse again, and finally observed the bandage on his lower back.

"You won't die once you wake up."

Mo Qin said:

"That's nonsense... You don't sound like you care at all."

The instructor said:

"I'm just making an assessment."

He let go.

"But don't move around."

Your injury hasn't healed yet.

"It just hasn't worsened yet."

Mo Qin sighed.

"Can't you say something nice?"

The coach glanced at him.

"If you want to hear nice things, go to Liu Gao."

Liu Gao immediately straightened his chest.

"Brother Qin, you're amazing."

Mochin nodded.

"Ah Liu is still the best."

Liu Gao continued:

"As powerful as a monster."

Mochin: "..."

The monkey next to them was laughing so hard its shoulders were shaking.

Lin Jun held the medicine bowl to Mo Qin's lips.

"Finish it."

Mo Qin obediently drank his medicine.

The medicine tasted so bitter that his brows furrowed.

When Liu Gao saw that he could finally frown, his face relaxed a little.

"To be able to complain about hardship means you're truly alive."

Footsteps could be heard coming from outside the tent.

The Li family guards standing at the door lifted the tent flap.

Upon seeing that Mo Qin had woken up, his expression changed, and he immediately turned and left.

Mo Qin looked at Lin Jun.

Lin Jundao:

"Li Shuai's men."

The monkey whispered from the side:

"During the three days you were unconscious, quite a few people came to visit you."

Liu Gao nodded.

"Li Shuai sends someone to ask every day."

Yan Qi added:

"Shen Weijing also came."

The monkey scoffed.

"He's just being sarcastic."

Lin Jundao:

"Xiaoya is here too."

Mochin paused.

"Is she alright?"

"Better than you."

Mo Qin nodded.

At this moment, the guards outside quickly returned.

He stood at the tent entrance, his voice so respectful that Mo Qin felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Mo Qitou, Li Shuai will come to see you later."

Mo Qin instinctively tried to sit up.

As a result, a sharp pain shot through his lower back, and his face turned deathly pale.

Lin Jun quickly pressed him down.

"Don't move."

Mo Qin said:

"Li Shuai, isn't it inappropriate for me to lie down?"

The monkey said:

"If you want the wound to keep opening, you can sleep for another three days."

Mochin shut his mouth.

The instructor looked at everyone in the tent.

"Get out, everyone."

Liu Gao was taken aback.

"what?"

The instructor said:

"Li Shuai came not just to see the injured man."

Lin Jun understood what he meant.

She put down the medicine bowl and then tidied up Mo Qin's blanket and coat.

Mochin looked at her.

Lin Jun said in a low voice:

"There are some things you shouldn't answer carelessly."

Mochin nodded.

"Know."

Lin Jun glanced at him.

That glance contained both worry and a reminder.

Then she turned and left the tent.

Liu Gao didn't want to leave, but Yan Qi pulled him out.

As the monkey reached the door, it turned back to look at Mochin.

"Hey top contributor, stay calm."

Mo Qin said:

"roll."

The monkey rolled away contentedly.

The tent quickly fell silent.

Not long after, the tent flap was lifted again.

Li Rusong walked in.

He wasn't wearing full armor, only a heavy outer robe, with a knife hanging at his waist.

Li Rubai and Li Rumei followed behind him.

As soon as the three brothers entered the tent, Li Rusong glanced at the personal guards inside.

"Get out, everyone."

The guards immediately withdrew.

Only the three Li brothers and Mo Qin remained in the tent.

Mo Qin struggled to perform the salute.

Li Rusong frowned.

"Lie down."

Mochin stopped moving.

"Yes."

Li Rusong walked to the bedside and looked at him for a while.

After a moment, he spoke:

"You made a great contribution in the Battle of Byeokjegwan."

Mochin did not reply.

Li Rusong continued:

"You protected the retreat route and broke the deadly trap set by the Qingliu Society and the Japanese army."

"He was killed in battle by Ando Tsunehisa."

"Cover the rear and establish a defensive line."

"If you hadn't led your men to meet us, my personal guards wouldn't have suffered such a small loss."

He paused for a moment after saying this.

"This merit will be remembered by the commander."

Mo Qin wanted to say that this was nothing, just a piece of cake.

But Li Rusong's expression was too serious right now, so he didn't dare to make any jokes.

Li Rusong looked at him.

"Let's not talk about the promotion for now."

Mo Qin remained silent, only nodding.

Li Rusong said:

"It's not that I won't be promoted."

"This merit is too great to be bestowed with a title lightly."

"I need to write the military report."

What's meant to be yours will be yours.

Mochin whispered:

"Thank you, Li Shuai."

Li Rumei glanced at him from the side.

He witnessed Mochin kill Anton Tsunehisa.

If he had shot that arrow back then, Andong Tsunehisa might have died as well.

It will never have the effect of shaking the entire army.

Li Rubai, however, maintained a cold expression throughout.

He simply tossed a packet of medicinal herbs onto the table.

"It replenishes qi and blood."

"Don't die too young."

Mo Qin looked at the packet of medicine, then at Li Rubai.

"Thank you, General Li."

Li Rubai snorted.

Li Rusong looked at Mo Qin, his expression turning serious.

"That's all I have to say."

"Now let's talk about something else."

Mo Qin's heart tightened; what was coming couldn't be avoided.

Li Rusong said slowly:

"You are a celestial being."

The tent fell silent.

Mochin didn't speak, because that was him.

Li Rusong stared into his eyes.

"Mo Qin, this commander has met a celestial being."

You're not the first.

Mo Qin felt a jolt in his chest.

He originally thought that the term "heavenly being" was just something Li Rusong blurted out in a moment of shock on the battlefield.

But now it seems that's not the case.

Li Rusong knew about the player community.

I know at least part of it...

Mochin whispered:

"Li Shuai, what do you mean by 'celestial being'?"

Li Rusong did not answer immediately.

He sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Not a person of this world."

Mo Qin's heart skipped a beat.

Li Rusong said:

"This general does not know where you come from."

"I don't know why you've come."

"But I know that there are such people in the world."

"Some appeared suddenly."

"Some have all the necessary identities."

"Some would say they are refugees, new recruits, merchants, monks, or Taoists."

"Some are very weak."

"Some are very strong."

"And some, once they have gained power, no longer treat people as human beings."

Mochin remained silent.

It's obvious even to a fool that most players are ordinary people.

Having descended into an unfamiliar world, how high can one's moral standards be given to such practices and manners?

At this point, Li Rusong's voice turned colder.

"When I was young, I witnessed a group of celestial beings committing evil deeds."

"Killing innocent people and claiming credit for it."

"Rape and plunder."

"Relying on his superhuman strength and abilities, he doesn't even respect military orders."

"They think that because they are not of this world, they are exempt from the laws of this world."

Li Rusong looked at Mo Qin.

"Later, I, along with Ru Bai, Ru Mei, and a battalion of men, surrounded them."

Seemingly thinking about the evil deeds of those players, Li Rumei and Li Rubai's expressions became much more serious.

Li Rusong continued:

"As for the outcome, these people were all hacked to death."

The words were spoken calmly.

Mo Qin felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.

It seems that Li Rusong has indeed killed players.

Damn it, are these three brothers going to try and kill me too?!

Li Rusong continued:

"Therefore, celestial beings are not a good term."

"In the military, they're even worse."

"Someone worships you."

"Some people are afraid of you too."

"Today they say you are a celestial being, tomorrow they will say you are a demon."

"If this gets back to the imperial court, it will cause even more trouble."

Mo Qin finally understood why Li Rusong, after saying "You are a celestial being" on the battlefield, never mentioned it again.

After gathering his thoughts, he whispered:

"Does Li Shuai think I'm that kind of person?"

Li Rusong looked at him.

"If I thought you were the one, I wouldn't be here today."

"I'm here to kill you."

Mo Qin nodded, continuing to look like he was learning something.

Li Rusong said:

"You enlisted in Guangning."

"Training alongside the military."

"Crossing the river."

"Attack Pyongyang."

"Save Shen Weijing."

"Protect the North Korean people."

"The flag protecting the commander at Byeokjegwan."

"I can see it."

Whether you are a person of this world or not, this general does not care.

"In the army, I only ask one thing."
