"If that's the case, I might as well go to the military camp myself. Maybe I'll find something," Su Qingwen said, blinking her eyes with a lively look.
[System: Honey, you're a woman!]
"So what if I'm a woman? It's precisely because I'm a woman that I'll be well - received. If I put on a little makeup now, I'll still be a beautiful woman. Then I'll disguise myself as a highly - skilled military doctor and go in to diagnose them. In this way, it'll be perfectly justifiable."
[System: There's always a way around every policy. But have you thought about how to tell Hua Yueye?]
Su Qingwen had her own little plan. Hua Yueye was a cautious man and would surely be reluctant to let her go. If she told him that she was going to investigate his adoptive father, Hua Yueye would surely feel very uncomfortable. So, it was better not to say anything.
Without delay, Su Qingwen immediately changed into a plain dress, neatly combed her hair, and at the same time, found a wooden medicine chest and put it on her back. With all these, she really looked like a medical woman.
On the way to the military camp, before she could even enter, Su Qingwen was stopped by two sentry soldiers. "Where did this little girl come from? This is a military camp. Hurry up and get out of here."
"Big brother, you've really misunderstood. I'm not some ignorant girl. I'm here to treat your illnesses."
"You're the one who's sick!" The soldier gave her a disdainful look and directly pushed her shoulders. "What nonsense are you talking about? We're all perfectly fine."
"Sorry, I didn't express myself clearly." Su Qingwen smiled sheepishly and then said again, "It's like this. I know a bit of medical skills. If you let me in, I'm sure I can help many people get out of their pain."
At this critical moment, it fully demonstrated the importance of having a glib tongue. Su Qingwen was extremely good at sweet - talking. She was talking so vividly that the two soldiers were almost stunned.
"Stop talking. We don't believe that a young girl like you can save people. Hurry up and get out. Don't cause any trouble here!" The man gave Su Qingwen a hard push.
"Something's wrong! The deputy general accidentally broke his leg. Hurry up and find a doctor," suddenly a sentry ran out from inside, saying anxiously.
"Really?" The two soldiers looked at each other and finally turned their eyes to Su Qingwen. Well, this was really a stroke of luck.
"Fine, it's you. Hurry up!" The two of them dragged Su Qingwen in.
[System: Honey, do you know how to treat a fracture?]
Su Qingwen lowered her head and thought for a while, feeling a splitting headache.
[System: I'm really defeated by your innocence. Quickly check your backpack. There seems to be a first - aid kit in it. If you have to, just use it on him.]
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Su Qingwen thought this system was really a back - seat driver. It always reminded her at such critical moments.
[System: You didn't ask earlier either. Besides, it's your own first - aid kit. If you give it to others, you'll be in danger later.]
It was really a pity to give it to a bearded man, but Su Qingwen had no other choice. She could only use the first - aid kit first.
Sure enough, the power of modern technology was great. In less than half an hour, the injury of the bearded deputy general was under control. In this way, Su Qingwen managed to gain a foothold in the military camp.
Finally getting a chance, she began to examine the soldiers, hoping to find out if there was anything special about them.
"Um, have you been feeling unwell recently?" Su Qingwen sat on the ground with the soldiers, asking them as if chatting.
"No. We've been fine in terms of eating, drinking, and daily life. And we've felt much more comfortable these days. Unlike some time ago, we always felt inexplicably weak," a man sighed and said quite relaxedly.
"I see. Are there any other problems?" Su Qingwen still felt something was wrong. Weren't they supposed to be poisoned by a gu - curse? Why didn't they show any symptoms at all?
"No. But my brother, Gou Sheng, is missing," at this time, a small - eyed soldier sighed, looking very sad. "How could a living person just disappear without a trace?"
"Really?" Su Qingwen lowered her head and subconsciously looked at the man's arm. She found that there was indeed a red dot on his wrist, but the mark was very faint. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice it at all.
How could this be? Su Qingwen grabbed his arm. "What's this on your arm?"
"I don't know," the man shook his head. "Maybe it's a bug bite. It's not important."
Perhaps there was some dirty secret behind this. Su Qingwen rubbed her chin and couldn't help but lower her head and think, feeling extremely surprised.
So far, she had reached two conclusions. First, these soldiers were indeed poisoned by the gu - curse, but this gu - curse could make them lose their memories, so she couldn't get any information from them now. Second, quite a few soldiers were missing, and no one knew where they were.
Damn it! After all this investigation, it was a dead end! Su Qingwen let out a desperate sigh, feeling extremely annoyed with a splitting headache.
"So you're really here?" A man's voice came from behind.
Su Qingwen was startled and quickly turned around. She saw Shen Lingyun smiling at her on the open space not far away. With his jade - like complexion and handsome features, he still looked like a gentle and noble young master.
"Why are you here?" She hadn't seen him since their hasty farewell last time.
"I'm the son of the prime minister. It shouldn't be difficult for me to know a deputy general," the man squinted his eyes and said with a smile.
"Okay. Are you here for a visit?" Su Qingwen squinted her eyes and thought to herself that maybe Shen Lingyun had some reliable clues and items.
"No. I'm here to practice archery. I didn't expect to see you here, Qingwen. Are you not happy being a royal concubine, so you've come out to be a medical woman?" Shen Lingyun hooked the corner of his mouth and said with a teasing look in his eyes.
"I'm on an important mission. Fellow, do you have any items or tasks that can be useful? I'm currently investigating the Regent, but unexpectedly, the lead has suddenly broken," Su Qingwen supported her forehead and said helplessly.
The Regent? Shen Lingyun put away his smile and his expression became solemn. "I don't know. Anyway, I've heard that the Regent is renovating his house. It seems to be a major project. You might find something if you investigate in that direction."
