Chapter 462 Rules

When Liu Yiyi arrived at Qin Jinzhi's tent, Qin Jinzhi was wiping her Guan Dao (a type of halberd).

She sat down next to Qin Jinzhi and placed her hand on Qin Jinzhi's wrist.

He then pulled a sheet out of his sleeve.

"This is my improved wound medicine. On the battlefield, life and death are at stake, and the lives of soldiers must be saved. Therefore, the hemostatic effect of wound medicine is the most important. So I replaced the small lotus grass with the ghost-scaring herb."

Qin Jinzhi nodded. "You can decide on the matter of medical skills."

Liu Yiyi looked at her and said, "Although this 'Ghost-Seeing Sorrow' can stop bleeding quickly, it is actually a poisonous herb. Now that the two countries are at war, I'm afraid that someone might use this as an excuse to cause trouble, so I should tell you in advance."

Qin Jinzhi looked at Liu Yiyi and chuckled, "Our Dean Liu is quite the rare find these days, so meticulous and thoughtful."

Liu Yiyi's serious expression vanished instantly, replaced by a forced smile.

He said with an affected air, "A genius's mind, very clever."

Then she took a small box out of her sleeve.

"This contains my improved Great Rejuvenation Pill. The battlefield is dangerous, so take it immediately if anything happens."

Qin Jinzhi took the Great Rejuvenation Pill and said, "I remember you said that the ingredients for the Great Rejuvenation Pill are extremely difficult to find. When did you gather them all?"

Liu Yiyi chuckled, "I stole it from home."

Qin Jinzhi laughed out loud, "Your father must have accumulated a lot of good karma in his past life to have you."

Liu Yiyi chuckled again, "I left him an IOU for 100,000 taels of silver. Remember to have Li go in and pay it back."

Qin Jinzhi carefully put the box away, saying, "I've accumulated quite a bit of good karma."

Liu Yiyi stood up. "Be careful on the expedition tomorrow."

Qin Jinzhi put the knife aside. "Now that the army is pressing in on the border, the outermost city of Chu has been captured by our army. Huangfu Nanfeng may not necessarily fight back."

Liu Yiyi nodded and left Qin Jinzhi's tent.

At this moment, Ah Jiao and Ah Man walked in.

Qin Jinzhi looked up and asked, "Why aren't you resting yet?"

Ah Man said excitedly, "It's my first time going to the battlefield tomorrow, I can't sleep."

Gillian Chung then asked with some doubt, "Princess, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

Qin Jinzhi poured tea for the two of them. "Sit down."

The three sat down around the desk, and Aman drank her tea with clear eyes.

Ajiao asked, "Given the current situation of the Chu Kingdom, confronting our army head-on is the best option. Closing the city and refusing to fight will only hasten our capture of the city. Huangfu Nanfeng is a talented general; he must understand this principle."

Qin Jinzhi picked up her teacup. "Although the Chu Kingdom hopes that Huangfu Nanfeng will lead the troops, he was captured alive by me before. Now that he is fighting against me, the Chu Kingdom will naturally have concerns. Moreover, if Huangfu Nanfeng can regain the morale of the army, Huangfu Su will be completely at a disadvantage. Therefore, she will not let Huangfu Nanfeng lead the troops again so easily. This is also why I insisted on capturing him alive in the first place."

Ah Jiao suddenly understood, "So, they're still fighting for military power. That's great! Let them fight it out. We'll seize the city as quickly as possible, and once they're done fighting, we'll crush the capital of Chu on horseback!"

Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "It won't last long. Huangfu Nanfeng and Huangfu Su both know the importance of this battle. If they lose, I will never let them off the hook. I gained the upper hand this time because Huangfu Su and Huangfu Nanfeng both thought that I would not fight against Chu until everything in Jin was settled."

After thinking for a moment, Ah Jiao said, "How could the Princess of Chu willingly let Huangfu Nanfeng lead the army?"

Qin Jinzhi put down her teacup. "So I guess Huangfu Su will also go into battle."

Aman put down her teacup. "So, the Chu Kingdom's eldest princess also knows martial arts?"

Qin Jinzhi nodded, "The struggle for imperial power in Chu is even more brutal than in Jin. She wouldn't have survived without some skill."

Ah Jiao laughed and said, "As the saying goes, a servant cannot serve two masters. In the army, with two masters, who should we listen to?"

Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow and smiled, "So we need to attack the city as quickly as possible before Huangfu Nanfeng and Huangfu Su finish their integration. They won't have much time to integrate, and they'll soon realize that their biggest enemy isn't the other side, but me. It's a matter of life and death, so they'll be exceptionally united."

She had barely finished speaking when she saw a shadow outside the tent.

"Fatty, what are you doing hiding outside?"

The fat man walked in with a smile.

Ah Jiao and Ah Man spoke up, "Master."

The fat man smiled and said, "We have to go to the front lines tomorrow, so go and get some rest."

Although the two hadn't finished talking to Qin Jinzhi, Fatty clearly had something to say to her.

"This disciple takes his leave."

After the two left, Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms.

"Fatty, do you have a little secret to tell me?"

The fat man glared at her. "Tomorrow you'll be the vanguard, and I have a few things to say to you."

He paused, scratched his head, and said, "Wait a minute."

He then pulled a small notebook from his waist.

Fatty opened the notebook and cleared his throat.

"When you charge into battle tomorrow, remember to be extremely careful. Do not act rashly, do not advance recklessly, do not charge into the enemy's encirclement alone, and do not stray more than three zhang away from Ajiao and Aman. Wear a breastplate and always remember that someone is waiting for you to return safely."

Qin Jinzhi tilted her head and looked at Fatty, "Fatty, should I not go?"

Fatty was taken aback. "Alright, it's just charging into battle. I'll go tomorrow and make sure the Chu Kingdom runs away in a panic."

He turned around and saw Qin Jinzhi's speechless expression.

He seemed a little awkward. "I was just saying."

Qin Jinzhi pulled out the small notebook, which was filled with dense notes.

"Anyone who didn't know better would think I was going to take some kind of exam. Even the imperial examinations don't have as many rules as this book."

The fat man clicked his tongue and said, "What do you know, kid? This is called caution. To be a general, you must be cautious."

Qin Jinzhi nodded, "Okay, okay, be cautious, be extremely cautious."

Fatty blinked. "How about I go instead?"

Qin Jinzhi leaned back and said, "I'll go back to the capital."

The fat man turned his head to the side, "These rules weren't set by me alone."

Qin Jinzhi chuckled, "Of course I know this book wasn't written by you. Your handwriting, like His Majesty's, is unfathomable."

Simply put, I can't understand it.

Fatty sighed, "Ah Jin was worried about you, so I stopped him from writing a lot of things, otherwise this notebook would be full."

Qin Jinzhi sighed, "Fatty, I think you should reflect on this."

The fat man straightened up. "What do I need to reflect on?"

Qin Jinzhi leaned closer and said, "You've been my sparring partner since I started learning martial arts. After all these years, they still don't trust me. Don't you think you should reflect on this?"

Fatty suddenly realized that the kid had said his martial arts were terrible.

He immediately went to pull her ear.

Qin Jinzhi flipped backward and stood up in mid-air.

She shrugged at Fatty and smiled smugly, "Don't worry, Fatty, the Chu people can't take my life."
