Time passed very quickly when Yan Liqiang was in the Imperial Academy of Medicine. In just the blink of an eye, the 15th day of the eighth lunar month passed by just like that.
If nothing changed, then today would be the day of Yan Liqiang and Shi Minzhang's blindfolded archery contest, which was also an ordeal and a hurdle for Yan Liqiang. Since Yan Liqiang had put on an impressive performance, he didn't have to take part in some dangerous contest at the barracks. Instead, he was being well taken care of by a few imperial physicians at the Imperial Academy of Medicine.
These few days were probably the most relaxing days for Yan Liqiang ever since he came to the Imperial Capital. He led an easy life and only the best was provided to him. Aside from eating, sleeping, and shadow-boxing every day, he also read books. Apart from the slight restrictions on his freedom, this was the kind of lifestyle Yan Liqiang had been pursuing in his previous life.
