"Senior Brother."

Hua Fushu called Qin Youran. Qin Youran was now His Majesty, but most of the time she subconsciously regarded Qin Youran as her senior brother, and then His Majesty.

She thought that Qin Youran would also be happy for her to treat him as her senior brother rather than His Majesty.

Qin Youran completely took off his disguise and chatted with Hua Fushu for a long time about daily life as if they were good friends and family. What they talked about most was how they were learning skills from their master.

Looking at this heartwarming scene, Lu Tianyun felt indescribable emotion and heartache for Qin Youran.

Over the past year, Qin Youran has restrained her temper and does not show her emotions on her face. Only in front of her junior sister Hua Fushu does Qin Youran show some free and easy attitude.

Perhaps His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin was destined not to be suitable for that position, but for the instructions of the late emperor and for the sake of the country and people of the Song Dynasty, he also took on that responsibility.

As Qin Youran was speaking, she brought up Hua Fushu's out-of-pocket purchases of food and military supplies. "How about asking the Ministry of Revenue to reimburse you for some of it?"

"No, I'm doing this for the soldiers and civilians at the border." She doesn't need that little money.

Qin Youran gave a thumbs up and praised, "Junior sister, that's very insightful!"

Hua Fushu was very pleased with the flattery from his senior brother, the emperor, and said, "Senior brother, you are too kind."

Hua Fushu had a meal in the palace before leaving and returning home.

"Miss, Miss Chen has a letter for you." Sanqiao walked hurriedly and handed the letter in her hand to Hua Fushu.

Hua Fushu casually took the letter. Chen Jianjia explained that the medicinal herbs she had sent to the Western Territory had been detained by local authorities while passing through Xijing. Despite repeated attempts by the escorts to negotiate with the authorities, they still refused to release them. Furthermore, several of the Mei Sect's outposts in the Western Territory had been attacked by foreign invaders, resulting in heavy losses. She hoped she could address this matter. The letter also stated that the four great masters were already on their way to Xijing.

It seems that she needs to go to Xijing.

Hua Fushu did not leave without saying goodbye like she did two years ago. She explained the situation to Madam Ouyang and the old general before setting off for Xijing.

She didn't bring Sanqiao this time.

Qin Youran heard that Hua Fushu was going to Xijing. Judging from her junior sister's personality, she would definitely go to the Ye family military camp in Ganzhou after dealing with the medicinal materials and the Xijing stronghold.

He sent Mu Qing and a dozen Tianxuan Guards to accompany Hua Fushu to Xijing. Yu Chisu, upon hearing that Hua Fushu was going to the border, swung her broadsword and rode her horse to wait for her on the street outside the General's Mansion, asking her to go with her to the western border.

Hua Fushu was about to refuse, but Yu Chisu swung her big knife, spun it around quickly, and pointed it at Hua Fushu, the blade shining white. "No, I'll cut you."

Hua Fushu looked at the gleaming blade and swallowed hard. Big Fish was still Big Fish, full of loyalty and mighty domineering. He didn't say anything to refuse, but instead said one word, "Take it."

Can she not bring it? If she doesn't, the big fish might really cut her.

Fate will not cut her hair, but maybe a few strands of her long black hair will be cut off.

She cherishes her hair.

The group rode non-stop towards Xijing, and a day later, a fast horse caught up with them.

"Sister-in-law, Susu, wait for me!"

The person who came was actually Ling Zhiheng. He was wearing dark green clothes, carrying a sword on his back, and riding a brown horse with two or three bags and a water bag hanging on the horse.

Hua Fushu looked at him. Although she knew why Ling Zhiheng had come after her, she still couldn't help but ask, "Why are you following me?"

Ling Zhiheng didn't dare to look at Yu Chisu, and found an unmistakable excuse for himself, "I'm going to find Yu Shi. He's my brother. He's fighting in the Western Territory to protect our country. I have to fight alongside him."

Hua Fushu could not refuse this reason, Ling Zhiheng and Ye Zelin were indeed as close as brothers.

Even if she didn't agree to Ling Zhiheng, Ling Zhiheng would catch up with her on his own.

"We live and die together." Ling Zhiheng was clearly talking about him and Ye Zelin, but he glanced at Yu Chisu who was riding a horse not far away.

Yu Chi Su noticed Ling Zhiheng's strange gaze and rode away.

Does this guy know how to use words?

Not afraid that Xiaohua will beat him to death.

Anyway, she wanted to beat Ling Zhiheng to death.

Hua Fushu: “…”

She glanced at Ling Zhiheng, with a hint of unintentional resentment in her eyes. This guy couldn't speak as usual. Should he have said this to Ye Zelin?

It should be her and Ye Zelin who said it! Why did he say it?

If this guy has the guts, he should just say it openly in front of Yu Chisu!

Why use her as an excuse to be your husband? He's already so thick-skinned, so why not be even thicker?

When Yu Chisu swung his sword across his face, he immediately backed down.

Coward, coward.

Hua Fushu glanced at Yu Chi Su, and seeing that the other party had no expression, he ignored the matter.

…

More than half a month later, Hua Fushu and his group arrived in Xijing.

Hua Fushu revealed his identity and negotiated with the government, who then returned the seized medicinal materials.

Cangzhu, Nanxing, Jingmo and Jiangli reunited with Hua Fushu. The four masters arrived in Xijing before Hua Fushu and had already captured the foreign spies who attacked Meizong's stronghold. They are now detained in Xijing prison.

The spies who were exploring the way ahead came back and said that the Ye family army was fighting with the Western Xia at Yumen Pass and Jiayu Pass respectively.

Hua Fushu decisively went to Jiayuguan.

Seven or eight days later, the group arrived at the Ye Family Army camp in Jiayuguan. Ye Zelin and General Lu led the Ye Family Army outside Jiayuguan, with white tents stretching as far as the eye could see.

Hua Fushu, Yu Chisu and others rode in front, followed by cart after cart of medicinal herbs, rice, flour, dried meat and other military supplies.

Several guarding soldiers stopped Hua Fushu and shouted, "Who are you?"

Hua Fushu introduced herself: "Ye Zelin's wife, Hua Fushu."

The soldiers looked at each other, then looked at Hua Fushu. One of them said, "Madam, please wait a moment. I will report to you right away."

Hua Fushu nodded slightly.

Soon, a middle-aged man in armor, with a burly figure, strode over. Although Hua Fushu didn't know his rank, he could guess that his position in the army must be high.

Hua Fushu dismounted and took two steps forward.

General Lu had also never seen Hua Fushu, but some time ago someone sent a batch of food and fodder in the name of Madam Hua. Now that he saw the person calling herself Madam Hua, it must be true.

"Are you really Mrs. Yu Shi, Mrs. Hua?" General Lu asked.

"That's right." Hua Fushu bowed slightly, "Greetings, General."

General Lu quickly clasped his fists in return and looked at the carts of supplies, "Madam, are you here to deliver them?"

Hua Fushu said, "General, I came to Xijing to handle some matters. I happened to have some medicinal herbs to be escorted here, so I delivered them here personally."

General Lu looked at Ling Zhiheng, Yu Chisu and the others, "Is this the Madam's entourage?"

Hua Fushu said: "No, these are my good friends from Tong Yushi."

Ling Zhiheng, Yu Chisu, Mu Qing and others each reported their names.
