His hand involuntarily filled the small wine glass to the brim and handed it to Jiang Luoluo. Jiang Luoluo smiled knowingly upon hearing this, knowing that Xie Yizhi thought she was trying to drown her sorrows in alcohol.
Without a word, she took the wine glass, poured the full glass of wine onto the dagger, and before Xie Yizhi could react, Jiang Luoluo had already used the dagger to make a small cut where the arrow was stuck.
She handed over the dagger, which Dingdang quickly took and then lit it over the fire. Jiang Luoluo swiftly and decisively pulled out the arrow.
Jiang Luoluo threw the arrow on the ground, took the red-hot dagger Dingdang handed her, and with a hissing sound, she quickly used the red-hot dagger to seal the bleeding spot.
The entire sequence of movements was completed in one smooth motion, taking only a moment. Mo Feng and Mo Yang, standing to the side, were so astonished that their mouths were agape.
Xie Yizhi's heart was also stirred. He had seen many military doctors perform procedures. Jiang Luoluo treated the little red horse with skill and focus, boldness and meticulousness, clearly a leader in the field of surgery.
Jiang Luoluo was notorious in the capital for being a good-for-nothing. At a palace banquet, Xie Yizhi overheard the noble ladies gossiping about Jiang Luoluo behind her back.
She's ignorant and incompetent, unable to learn medicine, and even lies about being afraid of blood. She's a complete airhead in the social circle of rich girls, and all she does all day is revolve around Gu Boyuan.
However, Yao Shiyu, who grew up with her, was different. Yao Shiyu was a clever, dignified, and highly skilled female physician, the second most renowned female physician in the Great Qi Kingdom. She had been praised by the Empress Dowager and Consort Lu.
Xie Yizhi remained silent. Rumors shouldn't be taken at face value. She had thought Jiang Luoluo was trying to drown her sorrows in alcohol, but it turned out she was using it to cleanse her body. She had truly underestimated this young girl's abilities.
When Yao Shiyu saw Gu Boyuan's worried expression, she knew that he must have run into a snag with Xie Yizhi.
Gu Boyuan used his longsword to lift the veils of the men in black one by one, revealing unfamiliar faces beneath. As for Liu Dayong, he killed him with a single blow to the throat; it was clear the other party intended to silence him, so there was nothing to analyze. The only thing that could be analyzed were these men in black who had not yet been burned to ashes.
Yao Shiyu squatted down next to the man in black, picked up a sharp arrow, and pointed to the arrowhead. "Brother Boyuan, look!"
Gu Boyuan also squatted down and looked in the direction Yao Shiyu was pointing. He looked closely and realized that it was a double-winged arrow with a spine, a special military arrow supplied to the Imperial Guard of the Great Qi Kingdom.
His pupils contracted slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and patted Yao Shiyu's hand excitedly. "Shiyu, you're so thoughtful. You've been a great help to me this time."
With a gentle smile, Yao Shiyu said softly, "Brother Boyuan, I will do anything to help you without hesitation."
Gu Boyuan nodded, took the arrow and walked towards Xie Yizhi. Yao Shiyu did not dare to approach Xie Yizhi. She secretly glanced at the black figure a few times. It seemed that Xie Yizhi did not pay special attention to her. Could it be that Xie Yizhi was not reborn like her?
Her gaze fell upon the arrow that had been pulled from the chestnut horse's rump. Incredulous, she looked at it again. She had only been there a moment ago; how could it have been taken care of so quickly?
Could it be Jiang Luoluo?
No, it couldn't be Jiang Luoluo. She knows that Jiang Luoluo is terribly afraid of blood.
Xie Yizhi just walked over, so the arrow must have been pulled out by Xie Yizhi.
Yao Shiyu's eyes turned sinister. They were really lucky to have survived all this without sending Jiang Luoluo and Xie Yi to the underworld.
Moreover, Jiang Luoluo seems to have become much smarter. In the valley before, she actually guessed that the other party was going to use fire attack. The Jiang Luoluo of the past was a complete fool. Could it be that the reborn person is Jiang Luoluo?
Yao Shiyu slammed her fist into the ground. This attempt to ambush Jiang Luoluo had failed, and she could only make her move after returning to the capital. Fortunately, she had written a letter to the person behind the scenes, reminding them that if the assassination failed, they must at least sow discord between Xie Yizhi and the emperor.
"Your Highness Prince Yi, please look!" Gu Boyuan handed Xie Yizhi a double-winged arrow with a spine.
Xie Yizhi glanced at him, his eyes unreadable. "What does Young General Gu have to say?"
Gu Boyuan stammered, "Your Highness Prince Yi, this is the Imperial Guard, a special, special..."
Xie Yizhi glanced at the arrow; he had already recognized it as a double-winged sword with a spine, specially supplied by the Imperial Guards of the capital. He said coolly, "Does General Gu mean that my brother wants to kill me, and also kill you?"
Gu Boyuan hurriedly shook his head, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I dare not, it's just a clue that I discovered."
Xie Yizhi flicked his longsword, sending the arrow from Gu Boyuan's hand flying into the fire. His gaze was icy, and his tone was as cold as ice. "This blatant attempt to sow discord is obvious to any fool. How could General Gu not know?"
Gu Boyuan was as happy as he was just moments before, and now he felt a surge of resentment stuck in his chest, making him feel very suffocated. "Yes, Your Highness Prince Yi is right to reprimand me. It was my oversight."
Jiang Luoluo observed Xie Yizhi's expression from the side. His eyes were cold, but there was no resentment or disappointment in them, so he must believe in his elder brother.
In fact, Jiang Luoluo had already noticed the winged arrow that was deliberately exposed in front of them. She was certain that it was a scheme devised by the person behind the scenes to sow discord.
Because in the book, the relationship between the emperor and Xie Yizhi is very deep. Xie Yizhi is absolutely loyal to the emperor. He has devoted his life to the Great Qi and to consolidating imperial power. He has no ulterior motives. The emperor also trusts Xie Yizhi completely and has never tested or doubted him.
However, since ancient times, those who have made great contributions have been feared by emperors. Now, Xie Yizhi has 300,000 Flying Eagle Army soldiers and 200,000 Flying Feather Army soldiers under his command. If someone uses this to their advantage, it will be easy to sow discord between Xie Yizhi and the emperor.
Jiang Luoluo quickly racked her brains, wondering if she had overlooked something.
Then Xie Yizhi asked, "Miss Jiang, why do you say it's the 6 o'clock position?"
Jiang Luoluo was caught off guard by the question. She was afraid that Xie Yizhi would notice her unusual behavior and that she was hiding something from him.
She coughed hastily, "That was taught to me by my father. He said that scouts use it like this because it's convenient."
"I see!" Upon hearing this, the slight joy that rose in Xie Yizhi's eyes quickly faded. He had thought that she was like him, but it turned out that he had been hoping for the wrong thing.
This way of saying "a few hours" was indeed something that circulated among the scouts, and it was Xie Yizhi who taught them it.
Xie Yizhi's eyes were deep as he glanced at the flickering flames in the distance. "That's it, we've passed the test," Jiang Luoluo thought slyly.
She turned her head, her bright eyes looking at Xie Yizhi, and said guiltily, "Your Highness?"
Xie Yizhi withdrew his gaze and met those eyes that seemed to sparkle like a thousand stars. The icy pool in his heart felt as if someone had gently blew warm air into it, causing ripples. He looked away, not daring to look again, afraid that he would drown in those stars.
An untimely gurgling sound rang out, and Xie Yizhi's thin lips curled slightly. "Hungry?"
