In Baiyang Wonton Shop, Tian Xiu is a hardworking and honest worker. She was promoted by her aunt and is now the second-in-command of the wonton shop.

The shop wasn't big; besides three servants, there were only Tian Xiu and Le Jian.

Qiu Yumei also came to Baiyang from time to time to supervise the construction, so the wonton shop's business has been very stable over the past year.

At Baiyang Wangyou Hall, Shen Yu, the resident physician, is constantly refining his medical skills.

This also stems from the medical books that Qiu Yan left at Baiyang Wangyou Hall.

On the day Qiu Yan arrived, Liu Qi was also there helping to grind the medicine.

Zhao Juan stayed at home to take care of Old Man Zhao.

Because Old Zhao was becoming increasingly senile, she had to stay by his side to prevent him from running away again someday.

Besides, she was also afraid that the old man might pass away one day.

After all, birth, aging, illness, and death are natural laws.

Zhao Juan's great-grandfather gave her a peaceful home and a legitimate status, so she naturally had to take on the responsibility of supporting him.

Qiu Yan visited her great-grandfather early yesterday morning. When she arrived, he no longer recognized her, but she knew his name.

On the return carriage,

Qiu Yan added a lot of rice, flour, cooking oil, and other daily necessities to her home.

On her way home, Qiu Yan encountered Song Jiao and Tang Yi once again in the Lingnan village.

The two were in the same scene as yesterday.

The difference is that Tang Yi did not meet with Qiu Dafu today, but instead...

Near the mountain,

In the blink of an eye, he encountered four men dressed identically, holding a child and teasing each other.

Tang Yi glanced at the four men's figures; they looked somewhat familiar.

Upon closer inspection, the person was immediately recognized and stared in astonishment.

Ling Qi and his group of four also spotted Tang Yi at first glance.

"Strange, what brings Lord Tang to this village?" Ling Qi wondered.

Ling Ba: "Could it be that he knew the general was here and came to pay him a visit?"

Ling Yun: "That shouldn't be the case. The general's visit to Lingnan Village was not communicated to the local officials."

Ling Zhi: "Perhaps he came to understand the people's conditions." After saying this, he himself felt that the possibility was slim.

As the four were talking, Tang Yi had already approached them.

He glanced at the child in Ling Qi's arms and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

These four people are really bored.

"Lord Tang, it's a pleasure to meet you," Ling Qi said, cupping his hands in greeting, followed by the three men behind him who nodded in agreement.

Tang Yi clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Because of the victory, Tang Yi has been feeling very relaxed lately.

Otherwise, if the Northern Qi were to attack, the first to suffer would be these cities near the border.

Upon seeing the four people, Tang Yi was genuinely curious.

He wouldn't be surprised if Ling Qi and Ling Ba were here, since those two were usually always with Qiu Yan.

However, Lingyun Lingzhi is also here.

"Why are all the lieutenants gathered here? Could it be that General Gu has also come?"

Ling Qi nodded in agreement.

"Is General Gu at the Qiu family's residence?" Tang Yi was completely taken aback to receive confirmation.

He thought to himself, now that Gu Qian has won the battle, shouldn't he return to Shangjin and wait for the reward?

Now that Dongjin has decisively defeated the Northern Qi, General Gu will surely be promoted and ennobled based on his skill.

“No, the general is at his master’s house, which is also his own house,” Ling Qi corrected, looking in the direction of the Li family.

"His master's house?" Tang Yi's gaze followed Ling Qi's.

He felt he should go and pay a visit.

But right now, I have nothing.

"I hope the Seventh Deputy General will inform them that the Magistrate of Baiyang County will come to pay a visit early tomorrow morning."

Ling Qi nodded slightly, then asked:

"Lord Tang, what brings you to this village today?"

He didn't believe that Tang Yi had the foresight to know that their general was in Lingnan Village at that moment.
