On the day of rebirth, I took my baby to find Jiuqiansui to recognize his relatives
Chapter 99: Peeling off the cocoon
At night, a campfire burned brightly, illuminating the soldiers sitting in a circle.
They talked in low voices, and from time to time they looked towards the tent where Liu Mengli was. Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao sat at the edge of the crowd, and words like "conspiracy" and "secret plot" floated in their ears from time to time.
Jiang Yanwan frowned slightly and whispered to Wu Junyao, "Those traps and poison don't seem to be accidental. Shouldn't we find out who wants to kill them?"
Wu Junyao nodded in agreement, his eyes revealing determination: "Indeed, this behavior has seriously threatened the order of the autumn hunt and everyone's safety. I will ask King Jin tomorrow to let us investigate this matter."
As the night deepened, the two decided to discuss it the next day and went back to their tents to rest. But Jiang Yanwan was still restless, and as she tossed and turned, a plan gradually took shape.
The next morning, the sun shines and the camp regains its former vitality. Wu Junyao and Jiang Yanwan meet with King Jin and formally request an investigation into Liu Mengli's poisoning.
After hearing this, King Jin's eyes flashed with a complicated light: "If that's the case, then you can go and check it out, but remember, don't affect the normal progress of the autumn hunt."
After getting permission, the two immediately started to act, starting with the trap. Jiang Yanwan used her medical knowledge to carefully analyze the residual substances on the trap, trying to find clues about the maker. Wu Junyao used his military talent to mobilize manpower to conduct a thorough search of the surrounding environment, looking for possible manufacturing sites or traces of use.
After a busy day, the two summarized the information they had collected. Next to the campfire, Jiang Yanwan spread out the map and pointed to several marked locations and said to Wu Junyao: "There are abnormal animal traps in these areas, and according to nearby hunters, unknown people have been frequently entering and leaving these places recently."
Wu Junyao pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that the other party has planned it. We must be more careful. Tomorrow, you stay in the camp to take care of Liu Mengli, and I will go to these areas alone to conduct in-depth investigations."
Jiang Yanwan frowned when she heard this: "This is too dangerous, how about I accompany you?"
"No need. You staying can better protect Mengli. In case of any accidents, it will be more convenient for me to act alone." Wu Junyao's tone was firm and he would not tolerate any rebuttal.
The next day, as night fell, the camp gradually became quiet.
Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao walked side by side on the path beside the woods. The moonlight poured down, covering everything with a layer of silver gauze.
Jiang Yanwan said softly: "Today, thanks to your alertness, we were able to escape danger."
Wu Junyao smiled and said, "Actually, I should thank you too. If you hadn't insisted on investigating, the truth might have been buried forever."
The two smiled at each other, and a tacit understanding flowed between them. At this moment, Liu Mengli walked out of the tent. Although her face was still a little pale, she was in much better spirits.
"Doctor Jiang, Governor Wu, thank you," she said gratefully.
The night breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness, and Wu Junyao and Jiang Yanwan's eyes turned to Liu Mengli involuntarily. Although her body had not yet fully recovered, her eyes flashed with unprecedented tenacity.
"Mengli, rest assured and recuperate. We will never let the person behind this go unpunished." Jiang Yanwan's words were warm and firm. She gently patted the back of Liu Mengli's hand, conveying silent strength.
Liu Mengli nodded, a faint smile on her lips: "I feel at ease with you guys here."
The brief exchange between the three was full of warmth and determination, and then Liu Mengli was persuaded to go back to the tent to continue resting. After watching her leave, Wu Junyao turned his head to look at Jiang Yanwan, with deep thought between his brows.
"Prince Jin's attitude makes me feel that things are far more complicated than they seem. Perhaps we should explore his motives more deeply." Wu Junyao lowered his voice with a serious expression.
Jiang Yanwan pondered for a moment, and analyzed rationally and calmly: "The conflict of interests behind King Jin may be inextricably linked to this autumn hunt. But before we have solid evidence, we should not act rashly."
"Tomorrow, I will continue to stay in the camp. On the one hand, I will take care of Mengli, and on the other hand, I will also pay attention to the movements of King Jin and the people around him." Jiang Yanwan's eyes flashed with wisdom, and it was obvious that she already had a plan of her own.
"Okay, then I'll continue tracking the clues of the animal traps. Maybe I can find a breakthrough in those areas where they frequently appear." Wu Junyao nodded in agreement, and the two of them shared the task tacitly.
The next day, everyone inside and outside the camp was doing their job. On the surface, it was still a peaceful autumn hunting scene. But secretly, Wu Junyao and Jiang Yanwan were like two intertwined threads, gradually unravelling the mystery.
Night fell again. The campfire in the camp was no longer as noisy as before. Everyone seemed to be affected by the recent events, and the atmosphere was a little depressing. Jiang Yanwan carefully checked Liu Mengli's recovery by the light of the fire. Her concentration and carefulness made the maid beside her secretly admire her.
"Doctor Jiang, your medical skills are truly miraculous. Miss Mengli looks much better now." A maid exclaimed softly.
Jiang Yanwan smiled and responded: "It is Miss Mengli's own willpower that is strong, I am just assisting her."
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps interrupted their conversation. A soldier hurried to the campfire and reported nervously: "Doctor Jiang, it's bad. Commander Wu...he is injured and is being rushed to the camp!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yanwan's face changed, and she quickly packed up her medicine box and told the maid, "Take good care of Mengli. I'll go check on Governor Wu right away."
On the other side of the camp, Wu Junyao was carried back, with several obvious wounds on his body that made people shudder. Jiang Yanwan almost rushed into the makeshift medical tent. Her hands were skillful and steady. While treating Wu Junyao's wounds, she anxiously asked, "What happened?"
Wu Junyao looked pale, but he forced a smile: "Don't worry, it's just a minor injury. I was accidentally ambushed while exploring a suspicious location."
Jiang Yanwan's fingertips touched the bandage lightly, her eyes full of worry: "You are always like this, not caring about yourself. You must rest well now."
"I'm fine." Wu Junyao answered softly, looking at Jiang Yanwan tenderly, "But you, don't be too tired."
Outside the tent, the night wind was still blowing, but between Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao, a feeling beyond comrades-in-arms quietly took root. At this moment, Liu Mengli's voice rang softly:
"You all need to be well, because... we still have to solve all the mysteries together."
A few days passed, and the atmosphere in the camp became increasingly tense due to the series of events. King Jin's face became increasingly gloomy, while the cooperation between Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao became increasingly tacit. Liu Mengli's recovery speed was amazing, and her joining seemed to inject new vitality into the three-person team.
