Chapter 166 Arrival in Xiazhou; Jiang Yunzheng moves into Qi Mansion

In the camp, everyone ate from a large pot at night. Qi An wanted to get some game for Jiang Yunzheng, but Jiang Yunzheng declined, saying, "Just eat the same as the other soldiers."

Xie Xuan bit her lip, glanced at Qi An, then looked at Jiang Yunzheng: "Second sister, I want to eat..."

Jiang Yunzheng: "If you want to eat, go by yourself."

Xie Xuan looked at the pitch-black forest and sat down, eating the cake in small bites. He felt it was too dry, so he drank water from Jiang Yunzheng's kettle.

Hou Yue clicked her tongue twice, "Don't act like a rich lady when you're out."

Xie Xuan snorted softly, his eyes a little red.

At night, Mo Zhi wanted to go back to her tent, and before leaving, she dragged Hou Yue and Xie Xuan with her.

Hou Yue asked doubtfully, "Don't you like sleeping alone?"

Mo Zhi coughed lightly: "I'm a little scared again now."

Hou Yue looked at him with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"

Xie Xuan didn't want to sleep with them both, she wanted to sleep with Jiang Yunzheng.

Jiang Yunzheng stood in front of her tent, watching the three people tugging and pulling at each other, and asked, "Come over and sleep."

After saying that, Jiang Yunzheng entered the tent.

Xie Xuan shouted to Jiang Yunzheng, "I'm here."

But Xie Xuan was pulled back by Mo Zhi, "Well, the three of us can sleep together tonight to improve our relationship."

Xie Xuan was no match for Mo Zhi's strength and was pulled into the tent.

Hou Yue quickly realized what was going on. She looked at Mo Zhi with a half-smile, "You have a good eye. How much is your monthly salary?"

Mozhi: "Not as much as you."

Hou Yue: "Just say it."

Mo Zhi ignored her, and Hou Yue revealed: "I make eighty taels a month, and occasionally Doctor Jiang gives me a bonus."

Mozhi: "Shut up and go to sleep."

Xie Xuan had resigned himself to his fate and took off his clothes, staring at the dark ceiling of the tent. When could he go home?

She will never come to Daliang again!

On the other side, Jiang Yunzheng flipped through a medical book and prepared to go to bed.

Late at night, Jiang Yunzheng was awakened by the heat. She looked to the side and found that Qi Yunshen had come in without her knowing.

His hands, feet and limbs tightly grasped Jiang Yunzheng's body.

She couldn't help but push the man awake. Qi Yunshen half-opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yunzheng sat up and asked, "When did you come?"

Qi Yunshen pulled the man down and laid him flat on his back. "That's enough. No one will see us."

During the two days of traveling, the two kept their distance, and Qi Yunshen endured until tonight before entering Jiang Yunzheng's tent.

After hearing what Qi Yunshen said, Jiang Yunzheng felt relieved.

Otherwise, if a general, who was not seriously injured, went into the military doctor's tent in the middle of the night and was seen by others, who knows what kind of scandal would spread. She would not have to go out tomorrow.

Jiang Yunzheng immediately realized what Mo Zhi had done today.

She couldn't help but snort.

Qi Yunshen turned her face and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yunzheng closed her eyes: "Okay, time to sleep."

Qi Yunshen pinched her nose and asked, "Will you tell me or not?"

Jiang Yunzheng glared at him: "Get up early and go out tomorrow."

Qi Yunshen laughed, "I know."

Jiang Yunzheng immediately covered Qi Yunshen's thin lips with her hands, "Don't laugh, someone can hear you!"

Qi Yunshen held her hand with his backhand, and rested his chin, which was covered with slag, on Jiang Yunzheng's head, "Go to sleep."

The next morning, when Jiang Yunzheng woke up, the man was no longer by her side.

The army continued to march towards Xiazhou.

Five days later, Mo Xian and Wu You rushed to reunite with Jiang Yunzheng and others, while Wu Lu returned to the capital first.

Wu Yu: "We evacuated from Yuzhou, which is close to Jiangnan. Xie Qing's people thought we went directly to Jiangnan."

Jiang Yunzheng smiled faintly: "Thank you for your hard work."

Wuyue blushed: "It's my duty."

Wuyou was still a little girl after all. When she first came to the military camp, Jiang Yunzheng asked her to change into men's clothes and asked Mozhi to take Wuyou for a walk around.

As soon as Wu Yu and Mo Xian arrived, Jiang Yunzheng refused to let Qi Yunshen go to her place again that night.

Mo Xian went to live with Qingying and Qi An.

The remaining girls were together. Jiang Yunzheng asked Xie Xuan and Hou Yue to stay in the same tent with her, and Mo Zhi and Wu You to stay in the same tent.

Five days later, the army arrived in Xiazhou smoothly.

In the past, the northwest was governed by a general of the Chen family. Since the Duke of Zhenguo took over Ning and Xia states a few years ago, the military and civilians have not disturbed each other in their daily lives, and the area is full of vitality, a harmony that has never been seen before.

Ningzhou is located in the southwest of Xiazhou.

In addition to Ning and Xia states, there are four cities that Qi Yunshen fought back from Western Xia four years ago.

The four cities are all located in the northwest of Ning and Xia states.

First of all, the city closest to Ning and Xia states is Tongxi City.

To the west and northeast of Tongxi City are Luochang City and Xinhao City respectively.

Pingye City, the last of the four cities, is the farthest from Ning and Xia states and is located under Jingjia Pass.

Once these four cities were captured, all the territories outside Jingjia Pass would be occupied by Daliang.

Back then, Xixia could only swallow its hatred and pain.

Western Xia was located in the northwest of Ning and Xia states, and the Turks were in the north, with the three countries bordering each other.

The north was bitterly cold this year, and several villages and counties in Western Xia had no grain harvest. They sneaked into an empty village nearest to the Turks from the border between Western Xia and the Turks, pretended to be Turks, crossed the mountains and came to the vicinity of Xiazhou, and directly slaughtered an entire village!

Emperor Jingming was furious.

This time, Emperor Jingming's intention was to order Qi Yunshen to go deep into Jingjia Pass and capture the five cities inside Jingjia Pass. After the five cities is Yaitou Pass, and the Western Xia people will be driven into Yaitou Pass.

As for why those Xixia people didn’t just rob the Turks?

Instead, all the food that could be looted from the nearby Turkic town was robbed by the Xixia people!

Qi Yunshen did not enter Xiazhou City directly, but led his army directly to the military camp outside the city, and most of the military doctors went with him.

As they approached Xiazhou, people began to line the streets to welcome them, and it was very lively. Some of the soldiers were visiting the northwest for the first time, and they could not hide their excitement on their faces.

The Duke of Zhenguo was in charge of the military affairs of Ning and Xia states. Xia state had a special geographical location, bordering the two countries. The Duke of Zhenguo usually spent a long time in the garrison, while the people's livelihood and political affairs in the city were under the jurisdiction of the Xia state governor.

Qi An gave Jiang Yunzheng the title of General Qi's personal military doctor, and took Jiang Yunzheng and others directly to Qi's mansion.

The Duke of Zhenguo was busy with military affairs and lived in the garrison most of the time. He would rarely return to Qi Mansion. In the past, when the eldest princess came to the border, she did not live in the governor's mansion, but lived in Qi Mansion.

The Qi Mansion's house was only of medium size, and compared with the wealthy businessmen in Xiazhou City, it was not very grand and luxurious.

The housekeeper's surname is Luo. He was a general who had to retire after the Duke of Zhenguo broke his arm. There are guards from the Qi family patrolling the house constantly.

According to the prince's instructions, Qi An directly arranged Doctor Jiang into the prince's courtyard.

Xie Xuan and Wu Yu lived in the next yard.

Hou Yue followed Jiang Yunzheng.

The maids in the yard received the news in advance and cleaned the yard inside and out.

Qi An: "Doctor Jiang, you will stay here."

Jiang Yunzheng nodded. There was a large open space on the west side of the yard with an empty weapon rack on the side.

Is this Qi Yunshen’s yard?

The faces of several maids changed. This was the prince's yard, how could others live here?

And he’s a man!!!

The leading maid, Ji Fu, looked at Qi An, who touched his nose and said, "This is what the prince meant."

Qi An invited Jiang Yunzheng to live in the main house.

Jiang Yunzheng shook her head and pointed to the east wing, "I live there."

When Qi Yunshen arrived with an army of 200,000, the Duke of Zhenguo allocated 50,000 troops from them and added them to the original 50,000 troops stationed there, and headed towards Goguryeo.

Also leaving with the Duke of Zhenguo was Qi Yunshen's deputy general Tan Lu.

On the first day in Xiazhou, Qi Yunshen was so busy that he didn't return to the Qi Mansion until it was completely dark.
