Horses were an important resource in ancient warfare, and she was still unaware of Luna's origins, so she dared not rashly agree to what the other party said.
As Luna got into the conversation, he suddenly stood up and moved closer to her, about to continue speaking, when a faint fragrance wafted into his nose. He was startled, sniffed hard, and the fragrance disappeared.
Su Wan subconsciously leaned back: "Brother Lu, what do you mean by this?"
Luna scratched his head in confusion, then sat back down and took a bite of mutton. It smelled good, but it wasn't as tender and delicious as the meat from their grasslands.
Seemingly sensing Su Wan's concerns, he said boldly, "Little Brother Su, you're being too cautious. It's just a few horses, what are you afraid of?"
Seeing that Su Wan remained silent, he continued, "Our tribe has plenty of good horses, selling you a few won't be a problem."
As long as it's not a large-scale transaction, the king won't interfere.
Su Wan smiled and filled his cup with wine: "Brother Lu, you're joking. I'm just craving something good to eat. As for horses, I'm very poor and can't afford them."
The horse issue isn't urgent.
“Alright,” Luna said, raising his glass. “If you want beef or lamb, I can get it for you in a few days, but the price… it’s not cheap here. You know it’s quite a hassle to travel all the way here.”
He had a good impression of Su Wan. Although he had offended him with his words before, Su Wan hadn't shown any prejudice against him, only teasing him in a harmless way. It was clear that although Su Wan was from the Great Jin Dynasty, he was quite generous and straightforward.
They really don't seem like the Western Rong people.
Su Wan said nonchalantly, "No problem. Although I don't have much silver on me, I still have enough to pay you for the cattle and sheep."
In truth, she wasn't sure if she could afford the money. Although cattle and sheep couldn't compare to horses in ancient times, they weren't cheap either, especially cattle, which were more expensive than the same weight of grain.
However, thinking of Bai Zhiyi, she felt it shouldn't be a problem.
Bai Zhiyi followed the doctor into the military camp. This was her first time in a military camp, and she felt extremely uncomfortable. The men there stared at her like wolves that had been hungry for days, reminding her of a lone sheep among wolves.
She now regrets not going to the city with Doctor Su.
Having been at the military camp for so long, she hadn't even seen His Highness's shadow. She could only follow the doctors into the various military camps to treat the wounded soldiers.
The problem is that she doesn't know any medicine, so she has no choice but to bite the bullet and bandage the soldier.
Several times in her panic, she messed things up. The worst time, she actually killed a soldier.
Therefore, she had no choice but to blame the young doctor for the mistake, since the young doctor was willing to take all the blame for her.
They were busy until it got dark when suddenly a series of panicked shouts came from afar.
"Quickly... quickly, summon a doctor! The young master is injured!"
"Summon the doctor!"
"Go quickly!"
Bai Zhiyi happened to be passing by with a basin of water when she heard the soldiers shouting, and she immediately stepped forward.
"I am a doctor, I am a doctor. May I see Young Master Jin?"
At this moment, these deputy generals had no time to think about anything else. When they saw someone volunteer, and this person was a doctor who had been treating patients in the military camp during the day, no one suspected anything and let him in.
Bai Zhiyi's heart pounded. After a long and tiring day, she was finally going to see His Highness.
When she rushed into the tent, she saw the blood-covered man lying on the bed. A jade butterfly mask covered his face. She quietly reached out and lifted the mask, revealing a terrifyingly pale face beneath.
The moment her hand touched Wei Jingzhuo, Wei Jingzhuo suddenly opened his sharp eyes, looked coldly at Bai Zhiyi, and with a whoosh, picked up the sword beside him and swung it directly at Bai Zhiyi.
Bai Zhiyi screamed in fright and instinctively fell backward, barely avoiding Wei Jingzhuo's sword.
Hearing the commotion inside the tent, the soldiers outside drew their swords and rushed into the tent.
Someone shouted, "Someone is trying to assassinate our lord! Kill them!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhiyi was terrified and immediately cried out, "Don't do anything! I'm not an assassin!"
At this moment, Bai Zhiyi no longer cared about her image as a noble lady in the capital and cried with snot and tears streaming down her face.
When the people present saw her collapsed on the ground, some recognized her as the doctor who had been helping out at the camp all day. Everyone was stunned.
While unconscious, Wei Jingzhuo smelled an unfamiliar fragrance and instinctively thought an assassin was approaching, so he tried to draw his sword to defend himself. Seeing the soldiers rushing in, he managed to say, "Quickly go find... Doctor Su... Doctor Su."
After saying this, he completely fainted, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.
After a long while, someone looked at Bai Zhiyi, who was squatting on the ground in fright, and suddenly asked, "This...this is..."
Should we kill this person or not?
One of the lieutenants glanced at Bai Zhiyi and then ordered, "Young Master is injured and has mistaken someone for someone else. Go and fetch Doctor Su."
Bai Zhiyi clutched her chest, and it took her a long time to stand up. She glanced at the man on the bed. A wave of sadness washed over her; she hadn't expected that His Highness still wouldn't trust her.
She stood silently to the side, still unwilling to leave.
Su Wan had just returned to the general's mansion when she was summoned to the military camp. Upon hearing that Wei Jingzhuo was injured, her expression turned serious. She immediately returned to her room, retrieved her medicine box, and obtained some medicine from the pharmacy before rushing to the military camp.
