Fang Yao walked out with his hands behind his back.

Then he sat across from Xiao Chenze, raised his eyelids and looked at him twice, frowning and saying, "This happened so suddenly just now that I almost forgot to ask, how did you suddenly appear in my study? The eldest prince, don't you want to talk to me properly?"

There are too many secrets in his study. If we don't figure them out, who knows if he will sneak in next time when no one is in the study.

Xiao Chenze also raised his eyelids to look at him, chuckled, and said, "General, there's no need to worry. This prince disdains to do the work of such a scoundrel. As for how I suddenly appeared here... If I say I've practiced a martial art that allows me to teleport instantly, will you believe me, General?"

Fang Yao sneered, this kid was treating him like a fool.

"Teleportation? It's truly commendable that the First Prince has mastered such a profound skill. Then, please allow me to teleport to the palace. I haven't seen the Emperor in so many days, and I miss him terribly."

Xiao Chenze cursed the fox in his heart, too lazy to pay attention to him, closed his eyes and dozed off.

Fang Yao stared at him and said calmly, "I wonder what the eldest prince thinks about my son's matter?"

Xiao Chenze still had his eyes closed as he spoke in a cold voice, "Duke Chongguo ordered his men to hunt down your son. He's either worried about some secret he might have. Or he knows he's not a spy at all, and once he returns to the capital, the truth might be too hidden. So he's simply killed him mid-sentence, letting him die under the suspicion of being a spy. If he does that, General Fang, you won't be able to explain yourself later..."

"So, the First Prince also believes that my son is not a spy?"

Xiao Chenze chuckled softly, opened his eyes, looked at Fang Yao, and said, "When my grandfather was alive, the person he admired most was your great General Fang. My uncle also admired the family tradition of the Fang family and was extremely fond of the two young masters. Given the vision of my grandfather and uncle, could they have made a mistake? That's impossible."

Fang Yao looked at him, still looking so arrogant, and actually felt a little bit pleased with him.

"Then, does the eldest prince think that my son's affairs need to be kept secret?" Fang Yao asked.

Xiao Chenze drooped his eyelids. "Don't ask me about this. I can't tell you not to tell my father. I won't tell anyone about it, and my men won't spread it either. Just don't let the news leak out, General."

Fang Yao was about to say something else when Shen Li poked his head out and called out, "Uncle, the medical book is ready, come and take a look."

Fang Yao stood up and walked into the inner room.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw two thick medical books on the table in the inner room.

Fang Yao took a look and saw the first volume of Internal Medicine and the second volume of Internal Medicine.

The paper used in both books was the same white and delicate paper as the military manual Shen Li had given him last time. The characters were also square and beautiful. The only drawback was that many of the characters were incorrect. Some were missing parts, or the writing was so illegible that one had to rely on the characters above and below or the whole sentence to understand what was written.

He took the book in his hand and flipped through it casually. The contents were explained in great detail. Even he, who knew nothing about medicine, could understand it easily. It was much better than those obscure and difficult-to-understand articles.

Fang Yao had a clue in his mind as soon as he saw it, and said to Shen Li, "Just give him one book at a time. This one book will make him happy for several days. Leave the other one with me to keep him company. If you need to find him later, he should come quickly just for this book."

Shen Li smiled and said, "Uncle, I have a lot of books like this. I have as many as you want. If you want to use them as a favor, just tell me. I will prepare some more for you and you can use them anytime."

Fang Yao narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said to Shen Li, "These two medical books are enough. As for the military books, you have to get two more for my uncle. The last book has been given to the chief clerk to copy, and my uncle is going to give it to his men to read, so that they can all learn the tactics from it."

"The books you got are really good, but there's one thing: too many typos. The clerk has to check for them as he copies them, correcting them as he goes. Some are so wrong that you have to read them over and over again to understand what they mean. But compared to the content of the books, these are not a big deal."

"If it's convenient for you, please get a few more copies for your uncle. If they're expensive, your uncle will ask the emperor for money to give them to you. As long as they're good military books, no matter how expensive they are, I'm not afraid."

Xiao Chenze's leisurely voice came from outside the door, "General, I have some money here, how about I spend it to buy some military books?"

Fang Yao was stunned. "You want to spend money? It's not that you can't spend money. But I need money to buy books and spend money to have them copied. This is to cultivate military geniuses for the Great Zhou Dynasty. I can't just give it to you and your family. If I only give it to you, then I might as well hide such a precious military book and leave it to my children and grandchildren to learn. If they learn it, they will be valued by the monarch for generations to come. How great would that be."

"Unfortunately, I, Fang Yao, would never do such a thing. I only have one goal: to ensure the eternal stability of the Emperor's rule and to ensure that all the soldiers of the Great Zhou understand military tactics. As long as the Great Zhou produces talented generals, no one around will dare to harbor ill will towards the Great Zhou. The Great Zhou will then be able to enjoy peace and prosperity, and the people will be able to live and work in peace..."

There were stars in Shen Li's eyes. The uncle in front of her looked like a hero in a military movie, with colorful light radiating from his back, and he was full of heroic spirit!

Xiao Chenze covered his forehead, "General, hey, General..."

Fang Yao had finally learned so many words, and she wanted to show off every chance she got. She was excitedly talking when Xiao Chenze suddenly interrupted her. He said unhappily, "What are you doing? I haven't finished yet. There are still several words left to say. Let me think. Zhengtongren, He, He Yaotian... Shun, Shunri..."

"General," Xiao Chenze covered his forehead and rubbed his brows, "I'm just being polite to you. You don't need to say so much. You should go ask my father for money. He is the emperor of our Great Zhou Kingdom. The emperor spends money to train soldiers. When the soldiers become successful, they are grateful for the emperor's grace and serve the country wholeheartedly. They are all willing to do so."

Fang Yao blinked his eyes. He was originally speaking passionately, but suddenly he got stuck and couldn't think of any elegant words for a long time.

He was so angry that he glared at Xiao Chenze, his mouth moving for a long time before he blurted out, "You have nothing to do here, why don't you leave?"

Suddenly, two painful groans were heard from the bed. It was Fang Jitao's anesthetic effect that wore off, and he seemed to be showing signs of waking up.

Shen Li walked over and touched his forehead. The fever had subsided a little, probably because the medicine was starting to take effect.

"Uncle, go get the doctor quickly. Remember to tell him that you need him to stay here and not leave until my cousin wakes up."

Fang Yao grabbed the books on the table and strode out. He stuffed one book into his arms and held the other in his hand. As he walked, he said to Xiao Chenze, "Prince, come with me."

Xiao Chenze actually didn't want to leave. He wanted to learn the instant teleportation from Shen Li, but Fang Yao didn't give him the chance to stay here. She grabbed his sleeve and took him out of the study.

Then he loosened his hand, stood firm on his feet and was about to go back in when he was stopped by the ancient trees at the door.

"I, was in there just now. Look carefully, it's me." He pointed at his nose, his face almost touching the ancient tree's.

Gu Shu and Gu Mu had stern faces and said without even raising their eyelids, "The general has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the study. Anyone who trespasses will be killed without mercy."
