Fu Weiyun nodded.
"We will follow up on this matter."
Yi Wudao.
"Thanks."
Xiao Qingyin replied.
"Thank you for your help."
Xiao Qingyin and the other two, along with Zuo Miaomiao, boarded their respective carriages.
Yi Wu and others, along with the men arranged by Fu Junshi, secretly escorted them into the city.
When Xiao Qingyin went to the Yong'an Marquis's residence to deliver the vegetarian food she had brought back to Princess Zhaoyang, she told the Yong'an Marquis about Bai's unusual behavior.
"Didn't we find that the cousin of the Qiao family you mentioned looks similar to Bai Musheng? Although Bai doesn't resemble that cousin of the Qiao family, she came to me for a heart transplant after she learned that I had given Wei Yan an arm."
She's so accepting of organ transplants that I suspect she may have done or seen something similar.
I refused her. After descending the mountain, we were attacked by mysterious men in black, who might have been her doing.
Marquis Yong'an nodded.
“It is indeed very suspicious. I will have someone keep a close eye on her.”
"Then I'll head back now."
After saying this, Xiao Qingyin prepared to take her leave.
"etc."
The Marquis of Yong'an called out to her.
Looking uncomfortable, she said, "Did that unfilial son, no, Han'er, write to you? He's been gone for so long, and neither his mother nor I have received any news from him."
"Your Highness?"
Xiao Qingyin shook her head.
"No, I have never received any letters from him."
The letters she received were all written by Yi Jiu.
"That brat," the Marquis of Yong'an couldn't help but curse, "he doesn't even bother to let his family know he's safe."
It made Qingqing worry about his safety even in her dreams at night.
"Perhaps he's just been busy."
Xiao Qingyin smiled.
"In any case, no news is good news."
The Marquis of Yong'an's brows relaxed.
"That's true, no news is good news. I need to tell Qingqing about this."
This conversation stirred up a longing in Xiao Qingyin for Yi Jiu.
I haven't heard from him for several days. I hope nothing has happened to him.
...
In a border town, cannon fire raged, and the soldiers of the Xilin Kingdom stationed in the town were stunned by the bombardment.
"What is this thing! A new type of siege crossbow? Its power is terrifying!"
"What's the use of the city gates? They were blown open in no time. What's the point of us defending the city? Let's run!"
"Watch out! Something's flying over, looks like a peanut? Ouch, my chest hurts so much..."
"..."
After Yi Shuihan led the soldiers of the Southern Five Camps to the northern border, they swiftly recaptured the five cities that had been lost not long ago.
And soon after, they faced off against the 80,000 iron cavalry led by Yelü Sui, the crown prince of Xilin Kingdom.
He then achieved the greatest victory in history with fewer troops—annihilating 80,000 cavalry with only 1,500 ground soldiers.
Artillery and muskets naturally played an important role in this.
As soon as the cannon fire started, the horses of the Xilin Kingdom cavalry were thrown into disarray. The soldiers of the Southern Fifth Battalion took advantage of the chaos to fire their weapons, and while they might not hit the target every time, they certainly hit it ninety times out of ten.
They easily annihilated the enemy.
This victory greatly inspired everyone in the Fifth Battalion of the South.
Under Yi Shuihan's leadership, they pressed their advantage and recaptured the ten cities they had lost fifteen years ago.
On the day all the battles ended, Yi Shuihan stood on the city wall, gazing at the Xilin Kingdom across the river, feeling an urge to sweep the country away in one fell swoop.
But it was only a fleeting impulse.
The Kingdom of Xilin is vast and sparsely populated, with frozen ground and frigid weather; even if it were captured, it would be difficult to hold onto.
Besides, they had been fighting for so many days, and their ammunition was long gone, so even if they wanted to attack, they would be powerless.
"It's time to return home in triumph."
Yi Shuihan thought to himself.
The image of a certain young woman floated into my mind.
Just then, he suddenly sneezed.
"Does that heartless woman miss me?"
He muttered to himself.
"General, you've found yourself in the eye of the storm."
A subordinate reminded him.
Yi Shuihan: "..."
As expected, it was wishful thinking on his part.
...
Before Bai proposed a heart transplant, Xiao Qingyin had never conducted a heart transplant experiment using golden insects.
In her mind, heart transplantation must use an extracorporeal cardiac circulation machine, that is, an artificial heart and lung.
Without artificial heart-lung support, patients will die after heart removal, before even receiving a transplant.
However, considering that there are several minutes for resuscitation after cardiac arrest, if her transplantation was performed quickly enough and the worms were spinning silk quickly enough, the surgery could theoretically be completed.
To verify this hypothesis, Xiao Qingyin conducted an experiment.
To her surprise, a heart transplant was indeed possible!
If there are enough worms in the blood, they can even stitch up the heart muscle within ten seconds, allowing the blood to circulate again.
The time was so short that the test animals didn't even have time to lose consciousness!
Xiao Qingyin was greatly encouraged.
So, with a sudden burst of inspiration, he tried a head transplant.
Unfortunately, this time it didn't work out.
The head transplant was a complete failure.
Nevertheless, she was still very happy.
"If you can improve yourself in one day, you should improve yourself every day. People must keep learning in order to make continuous progress."
She thought this before going to sleep.
Not long after I closed my eyes, I started dreaming.
In her dream, after she and Yi Shuihan went through their wedding ceremony, Yi Jiu knocked Yi Shuihan unconscious and made her put his head on Yi Shuihan's body.
"That way we can be together legitimately."
Yi Jiu said so.
She agreed and transplanted his head onto Yi Shuihan's body.
Right after the surgery, Yi Shuihan's severed head opened its eyes, staring coldly at her, and questioned, "Why did you and Yi Jiu betray me?"
