Yun Qing took Mu Qingcheng to the entrance of the bamboo forest and caught a glimpse of Liu Liu leaning against a green bamboo.

When he saw them, Liu Liu straightened up instantly and stood with his head bowed respectfully.

"Master, Liuliu is worried that something bad might happen to you, so I am waiting here."

Mu Qingcheng, worried about Yunqing's safety, rushed into the bamboo forest without hesitation, with Liuliu following her like a shadow. Mu Qingcheng knew that leaving Moyu alone to guard the Mu Mansion would be too weak, so she kept Liuliu with her as well.

Liuliu was nearly in tears, and she begged Mu Qingcheng to take her with her. Mu Qingcheng was completely distraught, desperate to find Yunqing. She had no time for idle chatter, and threatened to send her back to the Shadow Pavilion if she didn't obey.

Yun Qing's gaze swept across Liu Liu like a sharp blade, and Liu Liu was so scared that he took several steps back.

Mu Qingcheng secretly laughed in her heart. She must learn Yun Qing's ability to bluff people.

When he arrived at the Mu Mansion, he saw Moyu, Moxue, Muyao, Zijin, and Zipei standing quietly at the door, eagerly waiting. Seeing that they had all returned safely, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Qingcheng looked around and didn't see Feng Zhishang, so she immediately ordered Zijin and Zipei to find Feng Zhishang.

Several Dragon Shadow Guards were sent to the main study, where Feng Zhishang hurried over to examine them one by one. Most of the injuries were superficial. Zijin and Zipei expertly acted as nurses, cleaning the wounds, applying medicine, and bandaging them in one go.

Only Mo Xiaoliu was the most seriously injured. Feng Zhishang's eyes lit up as he examined the arrow lodged in his left shoulder. He sighed and shook his head, frightening everyone.

"This arrow is hard to pull out! Losing an arm is a minor issue, but you might even lose your life."

Mu Qingcheng could tell at a glance that Feng Zhishang was going to cause trouble, so she sat aside and listened calmly.

Mo Xiaowu said anxiously, "What should we do? Divine Doctor Feng is very skilled. You must have a solution, right?"

"This!" Feng Zhishang said in embarrassment: "I do have a way, but I haven't tried it myself yet."

Mu Qingcheng immediately understood Feng Zhishang's intention. He wanted to perform surgery on Mo Xiaoliu.

To give Feng Zhishang practice, Mu Qingcheng specially crafted a set of brass scalpels for him, modeled after later generations' medical scalpels. This was just for practice, and she would make him a set of steel scalpels once the steel was refined. This alone made Feng Zhishang love them so much.

Feng Zhishang shrugged at Mu Qingcheng and smiled obsequiously, "Girl Mu, do you think you can perform surgery on him? And then sew him up. I've done this many times on livestock, so why not give it a try today!"

When everyone heard Feng Zhishang talking about surgery and suturing, they all thought of the rabbit meat and mutton they had been tired of eating recently, all thanks to Feng Zhishang.

"No, no, I don't want to have surgery... I... I don't want to be eaten!" Mo Xiaoliu was so scared that his face turned pale.

Mu Qingcheng suddenly had an idea. If the surgery was to be successful, she had to take this step, but this required using Mo Xiaoliu as an experiment.

However, Mu Qingcheng had seen Feng Zhishang perform surgery on sheep, and he was indeed quite good. He had even performed a Caesarian section on a bitch that had a difficult labor, and he was already the best veterinarian in Daxi Village. Many people in Daxi Village lined up to have Dr. Feng deliver their livestock.

Besides, this arrow removal operation is just a minor operation. It does not injure bones and is not life-threatening, so it is worth a try.

Mu Qingcheng blinked at Feng Zhishang, pinched her waist pretending to be angry, and scolded him.

"Doctor Feng, please don't act rashly. Xiaoliu is seriously injured. You must treat him properly and make sure to save his arm."

Feng Zhishang nodded in understanding, "Of course, of course, but how can we remove the arrowhead without surgery? You don't understand. The arrowhead is triangular and has penetrated so deep. Pulling it out will definitely bring blood and flesh with it. If it touches the tendons and veins, his arm will be useless."

"What?" Everyone was shocked.

Mo Xiaoliu covered his mouth tightly, fearing that he would cry out and embarrass himself.

Mu Qingcheng sighed helplessly: "What can I do? Anesthetics and painkillers haven't been developed yet. How painful will this surgery be?"

Mo Yu asked, "How about just knocking him out?"

Mo Xue said, "It would be better to give him more knockout drugs."

Mu Yao said, "This is a good idea. It would be so painful to knock someone unconscious."

Liu Liu was disdainful: "Why bother with that much effort? You must be bored! Why not just pull it out directly?"

After hearing Liuliu's advice, Mo Xiaoliu couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears, covering his mouth. He wanted to have surgery.

Yun Qing quietly watched the various monsters in the room and felt a little sympathy for Mo Xiaoliu.

Mu Qingcheng had tricked Mo Yu in the same way before. He looked at his little girl with a tender gaze, imagining what she looked like back then. She must have been just as smart, cute, and quirky as she is now. As he thought about it, a smile played on his lips.

However, this surgery must be done. If it is successful, it will benefit the country and the people.

Yun Qing sat upright and said to Mo Xiaoliu, "Why are you crying like a grown man? You're such a loser! Imperial Doctor Feng can even cure my poison. It's just a simple operation. I believe in Imperial Doctor Feng's medical skills."

When Mo Xiaoliu heard that his master had spoken, he dared not disobey and silently swallowed his tears.

Feng Zhishang and Mu Qingcheng looked at each other. As long as Yun Qing agreed, the experimental operation would be half successful.

"But!" The topic returned to the first and most critical step of the operation: how to perform anesthesia?

Yun Qing stood up and walked to Mo Xiaoliu. He moved as fast as the wind and pressed several acupoints on Xiaoliu. No one could see how he did it. Half of Mo Xiaoliu's body had already lost consciousness.

Yun Qing withdrew, keeping his achievements and fame to himself: "I can only hold out for two hours."

Feng Zhishang came back to his senses: "Enough, enough, quickly move this kid to the bed."

Mu Qingcheng also reacted: "Don't forget to disinfect. The house, the supplies, and the people, all need to be disinfected."

"Don't worry, don't worry, hurry up and prepare some more boiled water for me."

There was a commotion in the study, and several people hurriedly carried the person to the back room.

Yun Qing held his forehead, feeling helpless but also thinking that what he was living was life. He could no longer remember what his previous days were like, and he just thought it would be nice to continue living like this.

Soon, the arrowhead was successfully removed. Mo Xiaoliu felt no pain at all, though he was sweating profusely from fear. Feng Zhishang carefully treated the wound and sutured it layer by layer. The success of the operation would depend on follow-up.

Feng Zhishang was still indulging in self-indulgence when he came back to life.

The battle outside the bamboo forest has ended. The black armored army led by Meng Yun did not suffer many casualties. The wounded were arranged to go to the new house. Feng Zhishang was sent to the new house without stopping.

Also sent were Zijin and Zipei, who assisted Feng Zhishang.

More than a hundred people under the eldest prince were sent to the coal mine. Meng Yun came back to ask Mu Qingcheng what to do with Lu Chengze's thousand people.

At this moment, Mu Qingcheng was repeatedly studying the arrowhead she had taken from Mo Xiaoliu. This black arrow was indeed unique, but the material was still not strong enough, and its penetrating power was only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary arrow.

She told Yun Qing that she could make an arrow better than this one. She described to Yun Qing the difference between steel and iron, and how weapons made of steel were not only flexible but also very hard.

Yun Qing's thoughts raced as he heard Nuan Nuan wanted to forge a sword for him, and his heart surged with emotion. He almost felt like he was going to have a fit of rage. What man could refuse a truly exceptional sword, especially one forged by the one he loved?

"These 1,000 people will be assigned to the iron mine first. I'm going to build a steel mill. Once the steel is produced, we'll need a processing workshop."

Yun Qing said lovingly, "Okay, I'll listen to Nuan Nuan."
