Chapter 469 Merit
The medicine tent was filled with a strong smell of medicine. After the three looked at each other and pondered for a long time without any result, Yu Zheng decided to go out for a walk.
The lieutenant generals and soldiers were all training, and the shouts echoed throughout the military camp. Yu Zheng walked leisurely and came to the rear service camp.
Looking at the tent in front of him, Yu Zheng wanted to go in to find Jiang Shu, but he saw two cats outside the tent.
The afternoon sun was shining on the grass outside the tent. Two cats curled up on the tender green spring grass that had just broken through the ground, basking in the sun lazily.
The cat's ears were very sensitive. After hearing the footsteps, it raised its head and looked at the person who came, then opened its mouth and yawned, stretched out its paw and began to lick its fur. After
licking its paw, it continued to lick its body.
Yu Zheng just stood there with his back to the light, staring at the two cats intently.
Qin Yiweiyu followed behind Yu Zheng, also staring at the two cats.
After watching for a while, the two were full of confusion. They were just ordinary house cats, raised by the household to catch mice, nothing special.
They couldn't understand Yu Zheng's thoughts, and didn't dare to disturb him, so they just stood there quietly.
At this time, the tent was opened, and Leng Xing came out with a teapot.
"Master..." Leng Xing subconsciously called out when he saw Yu Zheng when he looked up, and finally turned around and said to the tent: "Princess, the master is here."
"Meow--" The two cats who were concentrating on licking their fur were disturbed and cried out in dissatisfaction.
Yu Zheng came to his senses when he heard the cats' cry, and suddenly turned around and left.
Leng Xing was stunned. He looked at the cat and then at Yu Zheng who was walking away. He was in a fog.
Jiang Shu in the tent waited for a while but saw no one. He stood up and walked out. He saw no one outside the tent and asked Leng Xing, "Where is the prince?"
"The master left." Leng Xing said truthfully.
He came and left without seeing each other?
Jiang Shu thought it was strange, but he didn't think much about it. He turned around and went back to work.
In the other room, Yu Zheng walked back to the medicine tent and asked Zhou Boxu, "Are tigers and cats of the same species?"
Zhou Boxu was puzzled by the question. After thinking for a while, he said, "Yes, they look similar..."
"Habits are also similar." Yu Zheng interrupted.
He had seen tigers licking their fur in iron cages, and he had also seen tigers licking their wounds when hunting.
Zhou Boxu nodded, and then responded: "Did you find anything?"
Yu Zheng walked over and sat down, explaining what he had just seen and what he was thinking.
"Licking fur? That's a good idea." Du Zhong's old eyes lit up after hearing this.
Zhou Boxu also said: "We can give it a try."
"Okay, I'll go and refine more, and keep the medicine until the tiger falls." Du Zhong stood up and walked towards the medicine shelf with great interest.
"Thank you, sir, we two won't bother you." Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu couldn't help, so they thanked him and left.
Zhou Boxu went to monitor the training of the soldiers. When Yu Zheng went to the rear service camp again, he could no longer see the two cats.
He entered the tent and saw Jiang Shu concentrating on the accounts, and Leng Xing was serving tea on the side.
"Master." Leng Xing greeted.
Jiang Shu looked up when she heard the voice and saw a smile on Yu Zheng's face: "Are you done with your work, husband?"
"Yes, just do your own thing and don't worry about me." Yu Zheng sat down next to Jiang Shu and naturally took Jiang Shu's teacup to drink tea.
Leng Xing looked down at the cup in his hand, wondering whether to pour another cup.
Yu Zheng put down the teacup and said, "Wait outside."
"Yes." Leng Xing breathed a sigh of relief and walked away quickly.
Jiang Shu looked at the account, her slender fingers quickly fiddled with the abacus, her pretty face was slightly tense, her eyes drooped, her lips were tightly pursed, and her expression was very serious.
Yu Zheng leaned on the table, his elbows bent to support his head, his dark eyes looked at Jiang Shu quietly, without saying a word.
Speaking of which, he rarely saw Jiang Shu like this.
People who focus on doing things seriously have a magical attraction.
Jiang Shu was like this at the moment. Yu Zheng's eyes seemed to be glued to her, and it was difficult to look away.
The long eyelashes that trembled gently were like a small brush, gently sweeping the tip of Yu Zheng's heart, making his throat itchy and tight.
But this was in the military camp...
Yu Zheng suppressed the impulse, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea.
After a while, Jiang Shu finished the accounts and closed the account book.
"Thank you for your hard work, Shu'er." Yu Zheng handed over the warm tea.
Jiang Shu took it and drank two sips. Thinking of what happened before, she asked curiously: "Why did my husband come and leave before?"
"Speaking of which, I have to thank Shu'er..." Yu Zheng raised his dark eyebrows slightly and explained slowly.
Jiang Shu smiled and said, "This is not my credit, but the two cats'. Um... let the service camp give them extra food tonight."
"Okay, I'll listen to Shu'er." Yu Zheng raised his hand and tucked a strand of hair on Jiang Shu's face behind his ear.
Jiang Shu frowned and thought, "It's just that the service camp has more than a dozen cats, most of which are cats. I don't know which two have made contributions, so I can only reward them all."
Cats are good at catching mice, and the food warehouse of the service camp depends on them.
These cats have lived in the army for many years and are used to getting along with people. They are not afraid of people. Jiang Shu often sees them.
Yu Zheng said, "Don't feed him too much, or he will just want to sleep at night and ignore the mice."
"I know." Jiang Shu agreed and stood up, taking the account book to find Zhang Wei.
"Husband, wait for me for a moment, I'll be back soon." Yu Zheng stood up and said, "I'll go
with you."
He went to inspect the rear service camp and explained the rear affairs of the upcoming march to Zhang Wei.
A day passed in a flash, and when he left the military camp and returned to the general's mansion, it was already evening.
Zhufeng had rested for a day and was energetically stretching his muscles in the yard.
When Yu Zheng and others entered the yard, they saw Zhufeng holding a tree with both hands, hanging on the tree like a monkey and swinging.
"Master, Princess." Zhufeng let go and saluted respectfully.
Leng Xing frowned, with a complicated mood in his heart.
She really couldn't figure out what was in Zhufeng's mind. His words and deeds were always contrary to ordinary people.
Zhufeng saw Leng Xing frowning and thought she was unhappy. After Jiang Shu, Yu Zheng and others left, he asked quietly.
"You were scolded for not doing your job well?"
"You were scolded!" Leng Xing glared at him unhappily and left angrily.
Zhufeng shook his head, looking confused.
What did he say wrong again?
Women's minds are so hard to guess.
Zhufeng couldn't guess it, so he gave up decisively and turned to ask Qin Yiweiyu.
Qin Yiweiyu thought about it carefully and shook his head.
"The princess has a gentle temperament and is tolerant of her subordinates. Sister Leng Xing is capable and has never made any mistakes. The master has never scolded her."
"Then why is she unhappy?" Zhu Feng became more and more confused.
The two heard this and asked in surprise: "Sister Leng Xing is unhappy?"
Zhu Feng looked up at the two and said: "Her face was so pulled like that, can't you see it?"
The two said truthfully: "I didn't notice it."
"With your eyesight, learn more." Zhu Feng waved his hand in disdain and left.
Qin Yi and Wei Yu looked at each other, kept Zhu Feng's words in mind, and decided to pay more attention to observation in the future.
The weather in spring is changeable, and it rained on the second day.
The marching plan has been decided, and Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng acted separately and stepped up preparations. Three days later, the armor ,
food and other supplies were ready. After Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu confirmed the marching route and camping site again and again, they set out with the army.
