When Xie Changshi saw Gu Yuzhi get off the carriage and rush over, he couldn't help but stumble and almost fell when he heard Gu Yuzhi's heartfelt sigh.

He rushed forward and picked Gu Yuzhi up. After putting Gu Yuzhi down, he sighed deeply, "Your Highness has lost a lot of weight."

Compared to the last time I carried the little prince, today was noticeably easier.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuzhi pinched his small, thin face and realized that he had indeed lost a lot of weight.

However, when you're on the road, it's inevitable.

He turned around with a grin, puffing out his cheeks. His big, round eyes were filled with laughter, and his voice sounded a little strange because of his puffed-out cheeks: "Do I look fatter like this?"

Xie Changshi was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Young Master is so cute like this."

Gu Yuzhi's puffed-up face immediately returned to normal. He put his hands behind his back and said very seriously, "Butler Xie, I'm an adult now. You can't call me cute anymore!"

He's about to go to the battlefield, being cute doesn't sound impressive at all!

Chief Secretary Xie kept replying, "Yes, yes, it was my oversight. Young Master looks very handsome now."

Although the young prince's voice has changed somewhat due to a fever, he is still quite childish overall. To use the words the prince used to describe Xueye, he is incredibly cute and adorable.

This little prince is so adorable that you just want to hold him in your arms, but he insists on acting like an adult...

Chief Secretary Xie chuckled and shook his head, accommodating him as he cautiously made his way towards the camp.

The three thousand elite soldiers sent by the emperor were guarding this area, some openly and some covertly. They were taciturn and did everything quietly, with no expression on their faces and a somewhat wooden look in their eyes.

Gu Yuzhi glanced over and saw that they were all wearing the same, unremarkable linen clothes.

But no matter how ordinary they are dressed, you can tell from their straight backs and nimble movements that they are not ordinary people.

As soon as Gu Yuzhi stopped, a man who had been sitting against a tree stood up, knelt on one knee, and bowed to Gu Yuzhi: "This humble one is Jiang Kangming, paying respects to young master."

Chief Secretary Xie lowered his voice to a very low level: "Your Highness, Jiang Kangming is a military officer in the Divine Might Battalion."

Upon hearing the words "Divine Might Camp," Gu Yuzhi's eyes lit up. He quickly stepped forward to help Jiang Kangming up and asked in a small voice, "Do you know General Lu? Are you familiar with him?"

Since the misunderstanding with General Lu was cleared up last time, and General Lu gave Guard Qi a leave of absence, Gu Yuzhi had already forgiven General Lu, and his goodwill towards General Lu had suddenly increased.

He was particularly curious about General Lu's activities in the Divine Might Camp, and wanted to know if he was frequently challenged because of his reputation as the top expert in the Imperial Guard.

Jiang Kangming's blank expression finally changed when he heard the name General Lu.

He forced a smile, but perhaps because he hadn't smiled in a long time, his smile looked not only unfriendly, but also somewhat eerie.

Gu Yuzhi blinked and subconsciously grabbed Xie Changshi's sleeve.

Jiang Kangming finally regained his previous blank expression and said in a low voice, "I know him. I was originally under his jurisdiction."

He stared blankly at the tip of Gu Yuzhi's shoe for a while, then asked cautiously, "Is he alright over there?"

Gu Yuzhi nodded repeatedly, revealing a row of neat, white teeth.

However, he quickly remembered that he was missing a tooth, so he covered his mouth, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said with his eyes crinkling, "It's fine now."

Although Jiang Kangming didn't seem as approachable as General Lu, Gu Yuzhi still naturally felt a certain fondness for him because he was sent by the Emperor.

He reached out to Jiang Kangming, who took two steps back in fright: "Young Master?"

Chief Secretary Xie coughed lightly and said, "Young Master wants you to carry him."

Your Highness's injury to the groin is quite severe, so you naturally need to be extra careful.

I never expected His Highness would actually let this guy carry him!

Chief Secretary Xie subtly sized up Jiang Kangming, and no matter how he looked at him, he felt that this guy was plain-looking and not tall or burly at all...

Jiang Kangming held Gu Yuzhi in his arms, and for some reason even weighed him up. Then he realized that he was doing something inappropriate, and quickly carried him back to his own people.

Gu Yuzhi was obediently held by Jiang Kangming, looking around with her little head, and then she realized that the people her brother had sent to her this time were all not very tall.

Furthermore, these people also have very ordinary appearances; they're the kind of people you wouldn't notice if you put them in a crowd. None of them stand out like General Lu.

Gu Yuzhi scratched his head, feeling that his elder brother was doing this on purpose, but he couldn't figure out why.

Just then, the silent elite soldiers saw Gu Yuzhi, silently put down what they were doing, and walked over in an orderly manner to kneel down and greet him: "Young Master."

Gu Yuzhi blinked and then realized that the area looked even more spectacular after those people hidden in the shadows came out.

He puffed out his cheeks and subconsciously gripped Jiang Kangming's clothes even tighter.

It's actually a little scary to have so many expressionless people staring at you.

Jiang Kangming naturally noticed Gu Yuzhi's little scheme and whispered, "These people are in the camp, following me around. Although they don't talk much, each of them is a master fighter capable of taking on ten men at once."

One against ten?

Gu Yuzhi silently calculated for a moment, wouldn't that mean that their three hundred people could take on the other side's three thousand people?

His mouth was slightly open, and his eyes widened: "Wow, that's amazing!"

Although Jiang Kangming didn't smile, his eyes softened considerably.

What he didn't say was that he had specifically asked around about the young prince before he came, just to find out what the young prince's personality was like.

They were going to war, so they naturally hoped that the young prince would consult with them on everything, rather than acting unilaterally and ultimately leading to a disastrous outcome.

After all, in their eyes, the young prince was still young, and even if he was smarter than ordinary children, he must still be afraid of going to the battlefield.

The results of their inquiries were all very high in their opinion of the young prince. With hearts full of trepidation, Jiang Kangming and the others finally welcomed the young prince.

They all knew that the young prince's leg injury and fever were caused by his rapid journey, and they also knew that he hadn't uttered a single tear, but instead had the group continue on their way.

This shows that the young prince is a child who can endure hardship.

Jiang Kangming felt half relieved.

This last half is what's been decided now.

This feeling was strange, but Jiang Kangming always trusted his intuition.

Did Gu Yu know about Jiang Kangming's change of heart? After everyone stood up, he asked General Lu about his affairs at the Divine Might Camp with a smug look on his face...
