"This should be the military records," Gu Jiao said thoughtfully. "All the information about the Jin army is here."
This is an extremely valuable clue!
Tang Yueshan pondered for a moment, "Then... take it away?"
Taking it is possible, but if that happens, Gongsun Yu will realize someone has been here, and the contents of the dossiers and deployment maps will be altered.
Copying it would take too much time.
She’ll have to memorize it by force.
If she knew the Jin Country’s characters, it would be much easier.
Unfortunately, she doesn’t know them.
She could only use her photographic memory to recall their shapes. In her previous life, she received special training in this skill in the Organization, and her speed and accuracy were second only to the godfather.
However, she had never memorized such a large volume of unfamiliar characters.
Gu Jiao closed her eyes momentarily, focused all her attention, and etched the contents of the dossier into her mind one by one.
Tang Yueshan was dumbfounded, "No way... You have such an ability?"
A person skilled in warfare, yet with such a sharp mind, how is anyone supposed to survive?
After memorizing the last character, Gu Jiao’s head began to throb with a splitting pain.
Tang Yueshan noticed her pale face and hurriedly asked, "Are you alright?"
Gu Jiao propped herself on the table with one hand, and held her forehead with the other, "Over-exerted myself... I just need to rest a little."
Tang Yueshan, being a rough man, thought it was impressive that Gu Jiao could memorize the contents of a dossier, but didn’t understand just how impressive. If those great scholars of the court were here, they would likely kneel before Gu Jiao on the spot.
This level of brainpower had far surpassed the limits of a normal person.
"Let’s go, there’s nothing useful left here."
Gu Jiao had just taken a step when her headache turned her vision black, and she fell. Fortunately, Tang Yueshan, quick-eyed, caught her in time.
"So it’s true that scholars are weak—look at you, you hadn’t even read two pages before you’re worse off than after a battle!"
Though Tang Yueshan verbally expressed disdain for Gu Jiao, his actions were sincere. He moved his large bow to his front and carried Gu Jiao on his back.
Gu Jiao was still grappling with her shattering headache, reinforcing the memory of those characters in her mind over and over again.
She diverted a bit of her attention to tell Tang Yueshan, "I must not be interrupted."
"Alright, alright, just focus on memorizing!" Tang Yueshan decisively shut his mouth, no longer speaking to her.
