Chapter 58 Don’t look at what is inappropriate. If you want it, will you give it to me?
The two of them then sat down calmly and discussed the plan. Things went more smoothly than Luo Wan had imagined.
The soldiers in the training ground kept looking here. In the past, if they were so lazy and careless, they would have been scolded by Jiang Cichen, but today they acted as if nothing happened.
Luo Wan handed the medical book to Jiang Cichen.
Jiang Cichen flipped through a few pages and said, "The remaining poison in my body has long been cleared."
Luo Wan calmly tore off every page of the medical book, spread them flat on the stone table, and pieced together the terrain based on his memory.
The painting was extremely light and complicated. Luo Wan had injured his eyes when he was a child, so he couldn't see it clearly. It took him a long time to complete half of Xiliang.
Jiang Cichen was unusually leisurely, supporting his chin and looking at her quietly.
Luo Wan suddenly thought of something. Since Jiang Cichen had served as a general of the Northern Kingdom, he should be very familiar with the terrain of the Northern Kingdom. He was just about to look up and ask him to piece together the part about the Northern Kingdom.
But she saw him staring at her leisurely, and when he met Luo Wan's gaze, he didn't avoid it at all.
Luo Wan was getting angry after being busy for a long time. She worked so hard for their cooperation, but the other one was just watching the show leisurely.
Luo Wan asked, "Are you free?"
Jiang Cichen smiled and said, "Not bad."
All the soldiers in the training ground stopped practicing and watched this scene from a distance.
Their governor actually smiled at a woman!
When Jiang Cichen first came to Yinan City, although the Yinan Army was still in awe of his fame, they were very disdainful of his character.
What the soldiers hated most was traitorous and treacherous ministers, let alone those who had attacked their country. Even if he was a god of war who had conquered seven cities in three years, the Yinan Army still scoffed at him.
Jiang Cichen was also very angry at that time, and they just couldn't get along with each other.
Until one night attack by the Xiliang army came too suddenly. Because they had just fought during the day, they thought it would not come again at night.
The Western Liang army was much stronger than them. Even though they had expended their manpower during the day, they still had enough strength to fight at night. The opposite was true for the Southern army.
Just when they thought the city gate was about to be broken, Jiang Cichen's outstanding response and command capabilities saved the situation and he rushed to the front.
They had never seen such a desperate fighting style, and they all boosted their morale and fought a desperate battle with the Xiliang Army with a mentality of certain death.
At the end of that war, they won.
Everyone admired Jiang Cichen's ability, and gradually realized that only he could stop the war that had been going on in Yinan City for more than ten years and allow the people of Yinan to live a stable life.
Luo Wan was just about to pull Jiang Cichen to fight for the Northern Kingdom's part when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the martial arts field.
The two men turned around at the same time, only to see dozens of soldiers frozen in place, forgetting to swing their weapons.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
"Ha!" The soldiers suddenly shouted in unison and waved their spears in a panic, but their movements were as stiff as puppets.
Some people even used their hands and feet in cahoots, causing their companions to laugh so hard that their faces turned red.
Jiang Cichen raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping across the training ground. The soldiers, who had been in a chaotic mess just now, immediately straightened their backs and trained harder than ever.
Suddenly, a woman's scream pierced the sky and pierced the eardrums.
There are only two women in the military camp in the south city. One is Luo Wan, who lives in peace here, and the other is Jiang Yuanan!
A princess was staying in the enemy's military camp, and coupled with the scream, Luo Wan felt a sense of foreboding.
Luo Wan said: "Besides you, me, Xie Yan and Qin Yue, who else knows Yuan An's identity?"
Jiang Cichen said, "Xie Yan wouldn't tell anyone. I told Qin Yue to keep it a secret. Besides this, there's another person."
"who?"
"Military doctor."
Luo Wan didn't bother to put the puzzle together anymore and immediately rushed towards the source of the sound.
Jiang Cichen casually pointed to a soldier and said, "Put these away and send them to my tent." Then he strode after him.
The soldier stood at attention and said, "Yes!"
If anything happened to Jiang Yuanan and she was used by the impulsive Yinan Army to threaten the Xiliang Army, Luo Wan would definitely feel very guilty for bringing her to the Yinan military camp.
After turning the corner of the tent, the scene in front of him caught Luo Wan off guard and he stopped in his tracks and turned around.
"What's wrong?"
Women are generally not as tall as men, and Jiang Cichen is the tallest among men. When he speaks, his voice seems to come from his chest.
Luo Wan said: "See for yourself."
Jiang Cichen looked up and saw Jiang Yuanan covering her eyes and screaming, while Chen Nanyuan was standing in front of her with his upper body naked, his hands covering his chest, his trouser legs rolled up to his calves, and his bare feet covered in mud.
"Young Master!" Chen Nanyuan waved happily when he saw Jiang Cichen.
"You hooligan!" Jiang Yuanan put down his hand and kicked him again.
Chen Nanyuan jumped away in grievance: "I'm the one who was seen naked, okay! I'm the one who suffered the loss! You're the hooligan!"
Jiang Yuanan said angrily, "What do you mean naked? You were clearly still wearing pants! You exhibitionist!"
Amidst the clamor behind her, Luo Wan looked up at Jiang Cichen. From this distance, she could only see his Adam's apple gently rolling with his breathing. Noticing her gaze, he lowered his eyes.
Luo Wan looked away: "Let him put on his clothes."
Jiang Cichen called out in a deep voice, "Chen Nanyuan."
Chen Nanyuan, who was being chased and kicked by Jiang Yuanan, took a break from his busy schedule and replied, "I'm here!"
"Is it fun?"
"Sir, don't blame me for this!" Chen Nanyuan shouted as he dodged, "Who knew a girl would suddenly appear in the military camp?"
"Go and get dressed."
Chen Nanyuan was as if pardoned and disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Cichen leaned forward slightly: "He's gone."
Luo Wan turned to check on Jiang Yuanan. Her round face was flushed red like a ripe apple, and she was pouting angrily. Her chest was heaving violently, clearly still recovering from the shock.
Jiang Yuanan panted and said, "Sister Luo, I've been looking for you for a long time."
Luo Wan frowned slightly: "Looking for me?"
Jiang Yuanan nodded, her dark eyes rolling around, and she was suddenly speechless. Only then did she realize that she simply wanted to see Luo Wan, and there was nothing serious.
As she was hesitating, her stomach suddenly growled.
Seeing this, Jiang Cichen winked at Qin Yue who was not far away.
Soon, Qin Yue brought a simple breakfast, including steaming white porridge, soft steamed buns, and a few slices of bacon.
Luo Wan originally thought that the pampered princess would dislike such plain food, but she saw Jiang Yuanan picked up the bowl and drank a big mouthful of porridge, squinting his eyes in satisfaction.
Jiang Yuanan stuffed his mouth with steamed buns and mumbled in praise: "Delicious!"
After the meal, Qin Yue hurried over and saluted respectfully: "Miss Luo, the governor invites you to his tent."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuanan's eyes widened immediately, and he winked at Luo Wan with an expression that said, "Look what I said."
Luo Wan gently patted the back of her hand and said softly, "Don't worry, we're just discussing military matters. I came to him for this."
*
Inside the tent, the stack of medical books that had been disrupted by the soldiers had now been mostly restored by Jiang Cichen. The terrain of the Xiliang part was spread out on the desk, and every line fit perfectly.
When Luo Wan stepped into the tent, his eyes were first attracted by the restored map, and then fell on Jiang Cichen.
Luo Wan found it rare to see Jiang Cichen wearing light-colored clothes. In the capital, he mostly wore dark brocade clothes. Occasionally, she saw him in a stunning red figure at the Poetry and Martial Arts Conference. That was the only time in her memory that he dressed so ostentatiously.
Jiang Cichen raised his eyes and asked, "Is this what you brought out from the Shen Mansion?"
Luo Wan took a few steps closer and looked at him calmly: "You know?"
Jiang Cichen said lazily: "I didn't know before, but now I know. Jinxicheng, you fought with me, wasn't it for the things in the Shen Mansion?"
Luo Wan nodded, leaned over and began to piece together the remaining pages: "I just didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to send it out in the end."
Jiang Cichen leaned against the table with his arms folded, his tone tinged with joking, "So it's something someone else doesn't want anymore, and they're giving it to me?"
His voice was low, with a slight rise at the end, making it hard to tell whether he was joking or serious.
It was as if she was back in the Northern Palace. Yuan Jinbao led the way for her. When he saw them, he asked her if she knew who Yuan Jinbao belonged to. The two of them were in a stalemate.
But this time, he smiled slightly, softening his harsh tone.
Luo Wan kept moving his hands, thinking that Jiang Yuanan was right, this man really held a grudge.
"What do you mean by again?" She raised her eyes and looked directly at Jiang Cichen, "Speaking of this, I want to ask you something."
Jiang Cichen motioned for her to continue.
The person who fought with her in Jinxi City was Jiang Cichen. Jiang Cichen must have known that Tingyu Tower coveted the medical book. He rescued Shen Zhiyan in Wutan Town, causing Luo Wan's plan to fail.
He helped Shen to preserve the medical book, so he must be aware of its importance. But judging from his reaction when he saw the medical book, it was obvious that he had no idea what secrets were hidden in it.
The medical book stayed in the Shen Mansion for so long. If Shen Mo had presented it to the Northern Emperor, given the warlike nature of the Northern Kingdom, after discovering the map in the medical book, there would not have been peace and no war for those three months.
That only meant that they didn't know what secrets were hidden in the medical book, nor did they know why the wealthy businessman needed the medical book. But they knew the importance of the medical book to the Yun Kingdom, so they tried their best to protect the medical book and prevent the Yun Kingdom from getting it.
Since they knew the importance of medical books, they would not have gone unnoticed for so long. Why did they take no action afterwards?
Luo Wan thought about it and decided that he was not doing nothing. Didn’t the wealthy businessman from Sicheng disappear inexplicably?
Luo Wan asked, "Did you kill the wealthy businessman from Sicheng?"
Jiang Cichen chuckled, not knowing what it meant. He looked at Luo Wan and said, "You are very smart."
Luo Wan: “…”
He didn't even try to defend himself and admitted it without any hesitation.
Jiang Cichen said calmly, "After the items were stolen, we couldn't directly attack Tingyu Tower, so we had to start with the buyer. But we didn't expect..."
He said calmly, "This thing has gone through so many twists and turns, and it unexpectedly came to Yun Country through my hands."
Luo Wan already knew about Jiang Cichen's life path.
She has always been a bystander, acquiescing to everything that happened, but never thought deeply about what this meant to Jiang Cichen.
Leaving his hometown and going from being admired by thousands to being condemned by thousands, was this really a choice he made willingly?
In silence, she had pieced together the complete map of Xiliang.
Although I can't remember the specific terrain, I can always slowly restore it through the direction of the lines.
Luo Wan waved towards Jiang Cichen: "Come and see."
Jiang Cichen obediently walked to her side, still looking confused: "What are you looking at?"
Luo Wan then realized that for someone who had never seen a map, it was indeed difficult to discern the faint lines beneath the densely packed medical text.
She took a piece of white paper, dipped the pen in ink, and carefully copied the map of Xiliang.
Luo Wan pushed the finished blueprint in front of Jiang Cichen: "What now?"
Jiang Cichen paused and said, "Map of Yun Country?"
Luo Wan nodded: "What Yunguo wants is not an ordinary medical book, but the map fragments hidden in every page of the medical book."
Her fingertips landed on the landscape pattern outlined by tiny, extremely light ink lines. "Look, this is Xiliang Weizhou, the city connected to Yinan City."
Luo Wan flipped through the remaining papers in front of her, but couldn't find the one she wanted. She leaned over Jiang Cichen and looked for the paper on the other side of the desk.
Sure enough, the one with the city south of Yun State was found.
She spliced this picture with the location of Weizhou in Xiliang, and every tiny line was just right.
Luo Wan said: "It's not just a map of Xiliang, it carries a topographical map of the entire world."
It took the two of them a long time to piece together the complete map.
Because Jiang Cichen was familiar with the topography of the North, he copied the map of the North. This topographic map was more detailed than any he had ever seen before.
Yun State is no longer under consideration, so there is no copying for the time being.
After finishing, Jiang Cichen asked her: "Are you just here to give me this?"
Luo Wan met Jiang Cichen's eyes. The surging emotions in the young man's eyes made her feel guilty for a moment.
Whether she was there or not, Jiang Cichen would have ascended the throne and would have been the one to rule the world. She had only chosen to stand shoulder to shoulder with him because she knew the outcome.
Without the memories of her past life, Luo Wan might not have chosen to cooperate with Jiang Cichen. She wasn't a sincere ally; she was someone who sought profit and avoided harm.
Jiang Ci Chen was also pondering the look in her eyes. He moved closer, and his handsome features magnified in Luo Wan's eyes. The pleasant scent of pine after the snow on his body remained unchanged, but the sharp feeling was completely gone.
Luo Wan blinked, unsure how to respond, and didn't dare to meet his gaze again. Jiang Cichen's ability to read people's minds was too sharp; in front of this man, all her hidden thoughts were exposed.
Luo Wan could only follow his words and said, "What else do you want?"
Jiang Cichen stared at her and whispered, "If I want it, will you give it to me?"
