"This rapid increase in strength is also recorded in medical texts," Lian Qiao continued. "Using silver needles to stimulate the acupuncture points in the body can achieve this effect."
"However, for so many soldiers like Itami to become powerful warriors overnight, I don't think it was through the stimulation of silver needles, but poison."
"Use poison?" Qi Rui's eyes lit up. "Junior Sister, what you mean is that if you can capture an enemy soldier, you can directly research a countermeasure."
Lian Qiao nodded, "Yes."
"Okay." After knowing the way out of the impasse, Gu Qingchen immediately summoned everyone to a meeting in the military tent.
“I’ll go!”
After Jiang Qing heard about it, he was the first to go out of the city gate to catch people.
Jiang Zhong, however, felt that if Jiang Qing, as the deputy general, went there in person and something unexpected happened, it would easily disrupt the morale of the army.
"Let me go."
Jiang Mubai stood behind the deputy commander and raised his hand.
"Let me go. Third Brother will assist me in the investigation."
His skills are no worse than his elder brother's, although he lacks some battlefield experience. But if he always stays behind the commander, he will never gain any battlefield experience.
Jiang Mubai looked at Gu Qingchen firmly, "Your Majesty, let me go."
He didn't come here to study this time, he came here to make military achievements!
He must show the emperor that he is no worse than his brothers and that it is okay to hand the princess over to him!
"Go away. You have no right to interrupt here."
Jiang Qing glared at him.
The military is different from private life, it is the place where rules are most strictly followed.
Since Jiang Mubai is the assistant to the deputy commander, if he wants to go to the battlefield in person, he will have to be ranked very last.
Gu Qingchen looked at the map, and then thought of the strange enemy soldiers, his eyes suddenly brightened.
"Okay, you go."
Gu Qingchen looked at Jiang Mubai and said, "You are a new face and don't have the demeanor of a soldier. You are most suitable for lurking. This time, to capture the enemy soldiers, a head-on confrontation is not a good strategy. We need to outsmart them."
Hearing this, Jiang Mubai was startled, not knowing whether the prince was praising him or...
In short, he was still very excited to be able to complete this task.
That night.
At the city gate.
"Have you memorized all the prince's plans?"
Jiang Zhong reminded Jiang Mubai repeatedly, fearing that he would forget where it was.
Jiang Mubai tied the rope around himself and said, "Remember, remember. Don't worry, Third Brother."
He is just inexperienced, not stupid.
Besides, it’s just fooling people, everyone can do that.
After saying that, he climbed down the city wall with the rope and disappeared into the darkness under Jiang Zhong's instructions.
Capital city.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Li suddenly sat up from the bed, startling Yi Yao.
"It's okay, I just had a nightmare."
Jiang Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, his heart beating wildly.
Yi Yao quickly patted Jiang Li's back and said, "My dad used to say that dreams are the opposite of reality. Don't worry, sister. Everything will be fine."
There is no doubt that the princess must have missed Prince Jingling too much and was worried about the war situation on the front line, which is why she had a nightmare.
Yi Yao coaxed softly.
Jiang Li smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll get up and drink some water."
Even Jiang Li didn't expect that what she dreamed about was not something happening to Gu Qingchen, but something happening in the palace.
In her dream, she saw the emperor and the queen mother asking her for help, but she could not get to them.
Jiang Li took a sip of water, still feeling a little worried.
Mainly because the dream was too real.
Seeing that it was already getting light outside, Jiang Li had no intention of sleeping anymore. "Yaoyao, you sleep a little longer. I'll pack up and go to the palace."
You still have to go and see it in person.
When Yi Yao heard that Jiang Li was going to enter the palace, she lost her sleepiness.
"Sister, how about I dress up as a maid and go with you?"
Yi Yao had never been to the palace before, so she thought that she could protect Jiang Li while broadening her horizons.
Jiang Li looked at Yi Yao and saw her face full of longing. Thinking about her martial arts skills, she was now ranked among the top masters in the martial arts world. With her by her side, she would be of great help if anything really happened.
Therefore, he decided to let her switch with Bai Zhi, "Okay."
Yi Yao didn't expect that a suggestion she made casually would actually be of great use to her at a critical moment.
When the carriage arrived at the palace gate, Jiang Li heard that today's morning court was cancelled because the emperor was unwell.
Without wasting any more time, Jiang Li hurried to the emperor's bedroom.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped outside the palace by palace servants.
"The emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to trespass."
Jiang Li had never seen the eunuch in front of him before, and the strange feeling in his heart became even stronger.
"Excuse me, sir, why didn't I see the eldest eunuch today?"
The eunuch said expressionlessly, "The emperor is unwell, so the eunuch is attending to him."
"In that case, I am the inspector of the Imperial Hospital, so I have to go in and take a look for the emperor." Jiang Li said nothing and prepared to rush in.
"Princess, you can't do that!" The eunuch was anxious and hurriedly stopped Jiang Li.
Seeing this, Yi Yao was about to take action, but unexpectedly, a voice came from inside.
"Doctor You has already taken my pulse. I need to rest. Princess Jingling, please leave first."
Suddenly, the emperor's voice sounded, and Jiang Li grabbed Yi Yao.
After a pause, Jiang Li said, "Yes."
After saying that, he took Yi Yao and Mo Xiaoxiao and walked towards the Queen Mother's Palace.
Seeing that Jiang Li's expression hadn't relaxed, Yi Yao asked, "Sister, is there something wrong here?"
Jiang Li nodded slightly, not expecting Yi Yao to react so quickly.
"The Emperor doesn't sound ill at all, yet he claims to be seriously ill and unable to attend court. There must be something fishy going on."
More importantly, it was always Qin Yu or she who took the emperor's pulse, while Doctor You took the empress dowager's pulse more often.
If I'm not mistaken, this sentence means the emperor is asking her for help.
"Xiaoxiao, Yiyao, listen to me..."
On the way, Jiang Li told the Queen Mother about his plan. When he arrived at the Queen Mother's palace, Jiang Li was relieved to see that the Queen Mother was fine.
After recounting the story in a few words, he said, "Mother, I need your assistance this time."
When the empress dowager heard that something might have happened to the emperor, she could no longer sit still.
"Mother, let Xiaoxiao follow you to protect you."
If Jiang Li guessed correctly, if the emperor really encountered an accident, the most likely possibility was that he was threatened by someone.
The fact that someone dared to threaten the emperor in the palace meant that he was extremely dangerous, so dangerous that even the emperor had no way to seek help from outsiders.
"Ari, you have to be careful too."
The empress dowager gave Jiang Li some instructions, and then, supported by Nanny Gui, let Mo Xiaoxiao follow her side as they went to the emperor's bedroom.
According to Jiang Li's arrangement, she made a noise in front of the bedroom to attract everyone's attention. Jiang Li took the opportunity to go around to the back of the bedroom to see if she could sneak in and see what the emperor's condition was.
"I heard that the emperor was so ill that he didn't even attend the morning court. I came to see what's going on."
When she arrived at the door of the bedroom, the empress dowager took a look and saw that Jiang Li was hiding not far away, and then she officially began her performance.
