At the military camp.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict waited in the tent without any impatience.

Two other eunuchs stood behind him with their heads slightly lowered. One of them held the bright yellow imperial edict with both hands and waited quietly.

Suddenly, the tent drape was lifted up from the outside. Then, a tall and dignified figure walked in. “Eunuch Xu, sorry to have kept you waiting.”

Eunuch Xu was the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict. “It’s fine. General Tang, please accept the imperial edict.”

Tang Jinghong took a few steps back and knelt on one knee to receive the imperial edict respectfully.

After Eunuch Xu delivered the imperial edict, he went back to the palace with the young eunuchs to report.

Tang Jinghong looked at the contents of the imperial edict with a serious expression.

The imperial edict said that the drought in the northwest was serious and the refugees were surging towards the capital. Tang Jinghong was asked to lead the troops to the northwest to help the local officials deal with the drought and help the refugees.

Moreover, the imperial court had prepared 100,000 catties of food in Xiling Town for him to bring to the northwest.

He passed the imperial edict to the soldiers beside him and began to think about how to deploy the troops.

After Fang Zerong read the imperial edict, he walked up to Tang Jinghong and said, “General, there are at least 50,000 refugees. We need to bring more soldiers over.”

“In addition, a great disaster is usually accompanied by an epidemic. I suggest that General bring Miss Chu along. Her medical skills are brilliant. If an epidemic breaks out, she can nip it in the bud.”

A deputy general walked over. “General, Doctor Fang is right. Sometimes, epidemics are more terrifying than drought.”

The other soldiers agreed.

Tang Jinghong thought for a moment and said, “Shen Yufeng, mobilize the First Battalion immediately. The Second Battalion will go to Xiling Town to pickup the food and transport it to the northwest. If you encounter refugees, you can give them some food.”

“Tan Yibin, mobilize the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Battalions. We’ll set off in two hours.”

“The remaining deputy generals, stay in the camp.”

There were about a thousand soldiers in each battalion.

The deputies replied in unison, “Yes, General.”

Tang Jinghong walked out of the military camp and rode to the Chu Village.

In the Chu Village.

Chu Qingzhi was planning the layout of the workshop and was about to finish it.

“Qingzhi.” Tang Jinghong’s voice sounded. She thought that she was hallucinating. Tang Jinghong had only left for less than an hour.

Li Qingyu walked towards Chu Qingzhi quickly. “Qingzhi, Jinghong is here to look for you. From the looks of it, he has something urgent to tell you.”

When Chu Qingzhi heard this, she hurriedly walked out. “Jinghong, what happened?”

Tang Jinghong got off the horse and said quickly, “Qingzhi, the refugees in the northwest are surging towards the capital because of the drought. The emperor has ordered me to go and handle the situation. I want to bring you along. Do you want to go with me?”

“Sure. Wait for me for a moment.” Chu Qingzhi returned to the room and took off all the jewelry on her. She also changed into her usual clothes and packed two sets of clothes before leaving the room.

She handed a piece of paper to Shen Ruyue. “I’ll go to the northwest with Jinghong. 1 don’t know when 1’11 be back. I wrote some important things on this piece of paper for you to pay attention to while I’m away.”

Shen Ruyue said solemnly, “Don’t worry, leave everything to me.”

Chu Qingzhi patted Shen Ruyue’s shoulder. “1 believe you. After I leave, you’ll be in charge.”

Shen Ruyue said, “I’ll take care of the business for you.”

Chu Qingzhi gave Li Qingyu some instructions.Then, she went out to meet Tang Jinghong.

Tang Jinghong took Chu Qingzhi’s bag and helped her get on the horse. He sat behind Chu Qingzhi. “Uncle Chu, Auntie, we’re leaving.”

Li Qingyu reminded them, “Be careful.”

Tang Jinghong nodded and replied, “Okay.”

The two of them rode away.

The 1st Battalion and the 2nd Battalion had already set off. The 3rd Battalion, the 4th Battalion, and the 5th Battalion were all ready. At this moment, they were standing at the entrance of the camp, waiting to set off.

Tang Jinghong stopped the horse at the entrance of the camp. “Zerong, prepare a horse for Qingzhi immediately.”

It was not suitable for them to ride together on such an occasion.

Fang Zerong walked over with a horse. “It’s ready.”

Chu Qingzhi got off the horse and took the horse rope from Fang Zerong’s hand. She stroked the horse with her hand. “Doctor Fang, thank you.”

Fang Zerong smiled and said, “Miss Chu, we should be the ones thanking you for your help.”

Tang Jinghong looked at the soldiers and ordered in a low voice, “Let’s go!”

Chu Qingzhi looked at the man leading the army. He was calm, domineering, and dignified. His cool appearance was very charming.

She felt like she had become a fangirl.

Under the order, the dozen or so high-ranking military officers quickly got on their horses. The soldiers behind held spears and followed. Under Tang Jinghong’s lead, they left the camp.

Chu Qingzhi rode her horse beside Tang Jinghong, her long ponytail swinging in the air.

The matter was urgent, so the army marched nonstop. By the time they stopped to rest, it was already dark.

The soldiers were well-trained. After arriving at the first resting place, they immediately set up camp, started a fire, and cooked. Everything was in order.

These resting places had been scouted by the soldiers and were safe to rest.

After getting off the horse, Tang Jinghong immediately went to help Chu Qingzhi off the horse. He quickly handed her water and said very gently, “Qingzhi, it’s been hard on you.”

Actually, Chu Qingzhi did not need anyone to help her off the horse. However, now that she was in a relationship, relying on a man more would make him feel that he was needed. It could deepen their relationship, so she pretended to be a weak woman.

She smiled faintly. “You don’t have to be so polite to me.”

Tang Jinghong looked at Chu Qingzhi’s smile that was like a blooming flower.

It was very beautiful. “The tent has been set up. Go in and rest.”

“Okay.”

After Tang Jinghong sent Chu Qingzhi to the tent, he went to handle the military matters. He was very busy.

He only returned when it was time to eat.

Fang Zerong brought their food in. “General, Miss Chu, please enjoy.”

Chu Qingzhi was hungry. “Doctor Fang, why don’t you sit down and eat with us?”

Fang Zerong quickly waved his hand and looked at Tang Jinghong. If he stayed, Tang Jinghong would definitely not let him off. “No, no. You guys eat. If I eat your food, you won’t have enough.”

After saying that, he ran away.

Chu Qingzhi said in amusement, “Is your military doctor very afraid of you?”

Tang Jinghong picked up some food for Chu Qingzhi and said very domineeringly, “Everyone is afraid of me.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. She reached out and touched Tang Jinghong’s face. He was handsome and cool. “You’re cute. You are not scary at all.”

Tang Jinghong handed the chopsticks to Chu Qingzhi. “The word ‘cute’ is used to describe you.”

Chu Qingzhi ate two mouthfuls of rice. “It’s delicious..”
