Jin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow when she saw that the person who came in was unfamiliar. "Who are you?"
He had seen the military doctor in the barracks before; he was an elderly man in his fifties or sixties. But the man in front of him was a young, handsome man who seemed timid.
"Your Highness, my father is ill today, so I have come to treat your injuries on his behalf."
"Yes, Your Highness, the army doctor is getting old. He treated several new recruits last night and couldn't keep going today."
"Hmm." Jin Jinzhi stretched out her hand and placed it in front of the little army doctor.
"Your Highness has a few hangnails on your hand. I need to use a needle to remove them for you. It may hurt a little."
"It's alright."
"Your Highness, you're saying we saved someone, but ended up getting ourselves involved in the mess?"
"The situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't notice anything around me."
The junior medic took out several silver needles from his medicine box and inserted them into Jin Jinzhi's palm.
Cao Canjun frowned as he watched the young military doctor's technique.
"Your Highness, shall we go to the Princess's residence?"
Cao Canjun whispered in Jin Jinzhi's ear.
"The princess will surely have a way to ease the prince's pain."
Jin Jinzhi smiled and shook his head, "No need, that girl is drunk and probably still asleep. My injury is nothing serious."
"Don't disturb her sweet dreams."
"Yes, Your Highness."
[The prince truly always thinks of the princess.]
Military Advisor Cao regretted his loose tongue, having been forced to witness another instance of public displays of affection.
After the junior medic pulled all the hangnails off Jin Jin's hands, he was covered in sweat.
The process of picking out and removing the thorns was very painful, but Jin Jinzhi endured it. He had experienced pain a thousand times greater than this during military campaigns.
"Your Highness, the barbs have all been removed and the medicine has been applied."
After the junior medic finished wrapping the gauze, he saluted.
After the junior medic finished packing and left, Jin Jinzhi looked at the entrance of the main tent and said, "Give this junior medic some silver so that she doesn't have to stay in the military camp anymore."
"Your Highness, did his technique hurt you just now?"
[The technique hurts...]
Jin Jinzhi frowned. Why did this sound so strange?
He shook his head. "No."
"Didn't you realize she was a woman? It's very inconvenient for a woman to be a military doctor in a military camp."
“It is very inconvenient to take a bath or change clothes on ordinary days.”
"The previous military doctor was indeed quite old. It was because I was too busy that I didn't have time to attend to him."
“It’s a woman?!” Military Advisor Cao looked at Jin Jinzhi in surprise.
"Yes, it's a woman."
"Your Highness, I didn't see it. How did Your Highness see it?"
Cao Canjun scratched his head. During the treatment just now, Jin Jinzhi hadn't really looked closely at the young military doctor's face, while he had spoken to the young military doctor face to face.
Have you ever seen a man so fair-skinned?
"Moreover, when she touched my hand just now, I could feel that she was a little nervous."
Military Advisor Cao was even more surprised, "Your Highness can tell the difference? I see no difference at all?"
Jin Jinzhi scoffed dismissively, "You don't have a girlfriend, of course you can't tell?"
"Girlfriend..."
"Oh, no, she's my fiancée now."
Yun Duoduo once told him that she was his girlfriend and he was her boyfriend. Now that they are engaged, she is his fiancée.
Cao Canjun was completely bewildered. He wanted to ask more, but seeing that Jin Jinzhi had already closed her eyes, he could only turn around and leave to figure it out himself.
Just as they reached the entrance of the main tent, Jin Jinzhi said, "By the way, you can go to Huichuntang to see the new military doctors. There are many male apprentices there. Go pick a few and have them come over to be military doctors."
"I trust the doctors and physicians trained by Duoduo's clinic."
"The princess's clinic?"
Cao Canjun felt that the amount of information today was too much for him to handle.
"Does Your Highness mean that the Huichuntang pharmacy on Chang'an Street is owned by the princess?"
"What else?"
"Your Highness even knows this?! Your Highness is truly brilliant, Your Highness is truly a genius!"
Military Advisor Cao nodded repeatedly, expressing his utmost admiration for his lord.
"By the way, when you went there, don't say it was my order. Just say that Huichuntang has a good reputation, which is why the Zhenbei Army came here to ask for a military doctor."
"Since Duoduo doesn't want anyone to know, then keep it a secret. Also, you can't let it slip."
"Yes, Your Highness, I know my limits."
...
At the foot of Siming Mountain in Jiangning, a troop of people galloped past, raising a cloud of dust.
In a short time, the bandits' power expanded rapidly, and they even began to recruit soldiers in secret.
Once the galloping horses had disappeared from sight, the few people inside the cave came out.
"Looks like they're bandits from the mountains heading to the city to conscript men again."
"Luckily, we guys were lucky and escaped."
"The mountain bandits of Jiangning have taken over the mountains and made the surrounding people live in constant fear."
Five or six men, their faces covered in dust and dirt, grabbed hard, dry flatbreads covered in dirt and took a bite.
They were originally vendors selling steamed buns and sesame cakes in the city. They were captured by bandits on their way home at night, and now they have escaped from the bandits' training ground while their guard was down.
Why hasn't the imperial court sent anyone to investigate?
"I heard that the imperial court sent people to investigate a while ago and arrested a lot of people. The bandits in Jiangning were wiped out by the ministers sent by the imperial court a while ago, but recently, for some reason, it seems that these bandits have colluded with some kind of force."
"He's made a comeback!"
"Moreover, I'm afraid they haven't even found out about Siming Mountain yet."
In Siming Mountain, outside Jiangning, a group of bandits ruled the mountain. However, the imperial court did not expect that these bandits would recruit soldiers and horses and secretly contact important figures in Beiliang.
As they were talking, a figure suddenly appeared at the cave entrance.
Upon seeing the man in black holding a large knife at the door, the speaker turned pale and knelt down with a thud. The man was a minor leader among the bandits.
"My lord, my lord, spare my life! I will never dare to run away again!"
"We'll head back right away!"
The man holding the large knife at the door didn't speak, but stepped aside to gesture for the others to leave.
Upon seeing this, the people inside the cave thanked him profusely and scrambled out of the cave. As soon as they emerged, the man in black struck down with his knife, killing the first person to come out of the cave.
Instantly, blood gushed out, splattering several people's faces with blood.
The remaining few people were terrified, their mouths tasted bitter, and they retreated in shock. The man in black sneered, "Run! Run!"
"I'll give you a chance. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you time to run."
