"Princess, what you said is too serious. Qichao and Liuqi are very different in all aspects. If you stay in Liuqi as a guest, you will naturally have people you are familiar with to take care of you, so that you can live more comfortably and at ease. So don't worry, everyone who comes with you to Liuqi will be there and will live with you." The military advisor was still gentle and sincere.
In the eyes of Liuqi people, women of Qichao are weak and cannot survive on their own. However, sometimes they are unexpectedly resolute and strong. Liuqi has great ambitions for Xiaocao, so naturally he does not want to force her into a corner. If anything happens to her, Qichao will probably become even more crazy, and the army of Qichao will not be limited to its current number.
Of course, if she was just an ordinary princess - an ordinary princess would not appear at the border, and she would not be as valuable as her, no one would spend so much money to capture her, and even if she was caught accidentally, she could not be used as a bargaining chip - just keep her life, because they also have demands on her, so as long as she is willing to cooperate, Liu Kari will agree to all her reasonable requests.
"It's just that we are short of manpower, and they are not dedicated to serving people, so we will arrange some other people to take care of the princess." The military advisor's attitude became more respectful and sincere. "In addition, there are indeed some patients and injured people who need the princess's help, but the princess can rest assured that the number of people will definitely not be too many, and the princess will not be tired. For the rest of the people, the princess can just talk and let others do the work. What do you think of this arrangement, princess?"
So, not only does he want to use her as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Qi Chao, he also covets her medical skills. After capturing her, he also wants her to teach her medical skills to the Liuqi people. This is indeed a very shrewd plan.
The one who looks the best in attitude actually has the darkest heart.
Xiaocao did not comment on this. He had studied various medicines of Liuqi, including their most famous "holy medicine". Xiaocao used other medicines as substitutes and achieved good results, but the efficacy was weaker. However, Liuqi used the "holy medicine" as a panacea. Even so, due to its rarity, not everyone could use it. Xiaocao made improvements during the research process and tended to use a single treatment.
So when it comes to pharmacology and medical skills, Liuqie is far behind. Xiaocao has taught so many people in Kaiping Imperial City, and those who have a solid foundation can make rapid progress. Most people have to start from scratch to learn the basics, and their teacher is not Xiaocao. Xiaocao occasionally gives them lessons, and the things he teaches are relatively simple.
Now, Liu Karen wanted to obtain advanced medical skills from her in a short period of time. Even if she did not hold back, it would be wishful thinking. So, why not fulfill their wish? "Whatever."
Seeing that Xiaocao agreed, the military advisor's eyes became more sincere. They were all smart people, and it would be great if they could spend less effort.
"But since you are studying Qi Dynasty culture, you should also know that there is a saying that a good cook cannot cook without rice. To save lives and cure diseases, medicinal materials are naturally indispensable. If you don't have them, I'm sorry that I can't do anything."
"Don't worry about this princess. Just tell me what you need."
Xiaocao's heart moved. Liuqie must have stored medicinal herbs, and the quantity might be quite large. Liuqie's territory is vast, but the terrain is relatively simple and the vegetation types are sparse. Most of the medicinal herbs do not grow in cold areas. It is different in Qichao. Xiaocao comes into contact with many kinds of herbs in her daily life. Now they give her whatever she wants. These medicines cannot be from Liuqie itself, so where do they come from
Although the caravans from Qi Dynasty had always maintained business with Liuqi, the control was very strict. Food and other food items were very scarce, and medicinal materials were not allowed to leave the country. Therefore, it was impossible to come directly from Qi Dynasty.
Then they can only choose a more roundabout means. Xiaocao recalled that the small countries adjacent to Qi Dynasty and Liuqi seemed unable to transfer large quantities of medicinal materials to Liuqi. Is there anyone involved
Xiaocao remained calm and had no intention of pursuing the matter. Obviously, this was beyond her reach.
When it reached the boundary of the six-cut area, Xiaocao's mind began to work in other aspects.
Xiaocao turned around to look at General Li who was standing silently at the back with little presence. At the moment, his popularity was very low.
Xiao Caopi curled his lips with a half-smile, "I need to rest in an hour. During this time, with General Li's injuries, we can probably only save him. Please make arrangements as soon as possible."
I believe that there should be quite a few wounded people of status and position in this city. It is hard to say whether they will give the treatment time to General Li and postpone it themselves. In Qi Dynasty, saving people is based on importance and urgency. Xiaocao can stay up for days and nights, but here, I'm sorry, they decide who to treat first. It is even more impossible for her to ignore her own rescue efforts.
Xiaocao naturally wanted to kill General Li, but his life or death was not something she could decide. If she were asked to save him, she would do it and would do her best without doing anything. She had not found a safe way yet, and General Li also knew her medical skills. If anything went wrong with him, it would only arouse suspicion.
But at this moment, Xiaocao pushed him to the forefront. Whether he could survive depended on who was behind him.
As expected, no one noticed him just now, but now everyone was looking over there, many with scrutiny and disdain in their eyes. Xiao Cao had no interest in pursuing the matter, so he walked into the courtyard without being led by anyone.
The military advisor, Princess Lanqi, and Prince Xiao Qi followed behind.
It is slightly better than expected. At least it is not bare and there are some cold-resistant trees planted on it.
Perhaps he had started preparing after learning the news about her. When he entered the house, it was still relatively warm. Xiaocao didn't know what kind of treatment the royal nobles of Liuqi were given, but what was prepared for him should be pretty good.
Calculating the time, it was actually still quite early, but the lights were already on in the house.
The food has been prepared, and it is in accordance with the eating habits of the Liuqi people. It is all big pieces of meat, milk and wine. The smell is very strong. Moreover, the meat is not fully cooked and there is blood in it, which is naturally not to Xiaocao's appetite.
Looking at Xiaocao's expression, the military advisor and the others knew what was going on. It was difficult for Liuqi to get other things now, but it was not difficult for those nobles to eat occasionally, and it was naturally no problem to provide for Xiaocao.
"This was our oversight. We will prepare it again for the princess."
"No, I don't have much appetite anyway, so just eat whatever you want."
Xiaocao has never been picky about food, but since she returned to the Wenren family, she has always eaten very fine food, and the chef's cooking skills are also very good, so her appetite has become a little picky. She herself does not resist, but her taste buds do, so it probably takes some time to adapt. Therefore, she eats slower and eats less, and it is not difficult to swallow.
From the beginning to the end, Xiaocao was very calm and composed. She was not pretending. She had no difficulty adapting to such an environment. In their eyes, Xiaocao was as precious as gold and jade. During the prayer period, she received the best support. She was able to remain calm in the face of such a big change. They couldn't help but admire her. Even a grown man might not be able to do that.
However, it is easy to imagine that without courage and perseverance, one would not have been able to leave the prosperous and comfortable Imperial City of Kaiping and go to the freezing battlefield to endure the bitter cold and hardship.
When Xiaocao had finished eating, so had the others, and they had even been resettled.
Perhaps Xiaocao's calmness influenced the two assistants and another doctor, and their original fear was eased. Although they didn't know what to do, as long as Xiaocao was the backbone, there would be no problem.
Not long after, the person who needed Xiaocao's treatment was decided to be General Li.
Oh, it seems that the person behind this person is in a high position and has considerable power. - Of course, it is also possible that other people are not brave enough to take risks for the time being, and they do not know Xiaocao's "background" yet, so they dare not rashly hand their lives over to her.
Capturing Xiaocao was naturally a great achievement. After all, if the negotiations with Qi Chao were successful, it would alleviate the crisis of Liuqi's national destruction. It would also be of great benefit to the people behind General Li. As long as they had the ability, they would probably save General Li.
Xiaocao didn't say anything and entered the "operating room" prepared by Liuqi. It seemed that the idea of catching her was not something he had thought about for just one or two days.
There were many people watching the operation, not only the doctors from Liuqi, but also some curious nobles. Xiaocao did not drive them out, but only asked them to keep quiet.
Liuqi does not have the concept that one's body and hair are given by one's parents, so he is very accepting of things like operating on other people's bodies.
During the process, I was still amazed at the "skills" of the grass.
After that, the grass was surrounded and everyone was chattering away, but unfortunately the grass couldn't understand.
The military advisor came to the rescue immediately, "They are our Liuqi doctors, and they want to learn this... medical skill from the princess. I wonder if the princess is willing to teach you?"
If it is just "traumatology", its use is actually very narrow, that is, it can be widely used on the battlefield. Even so, there are many things involved. If you just want to learn "skills", it's really no big deal. No matter how sophisticated the "skills" are, if you don't understand other things, you may die halfway.
"Sure, but it would be best if a doctor who can understand Qi Chao's language came. After all, I don't know your language. Besides, I'm not a doctor, so I probably won't understand some professional things, and my translation may not be accurate."
The military advisors and their colleagues now felt that they had made a mistake, but there were people among them who were interested in studying Qi Dynasty's medical skills and culture.
"I only have one set of surgical tools. You have to prepare them yourselves. I will give you the drawings tomorrow. In addition, I will make a list of medicinal materials. You have to prepare them and transfer a group of people to help make the medicine."
"In that case, thank you very much, Princess."
Xiao Cao glanced at her lightly and said nothing, "I'm going to rest, you guys should leave as soon as possible."
