she.

Jiang Qianhu was stunned.

Qingyuan Prefecture, bandits.

These two words quickly made Jiang Qianhu realize.

When Miss Jun was kidnapped by a group of bandits, she did not leave but stayed with the bandits instead. Then she suddenly disappeared together with them.

The entire Zhangqing Mountain looked as if no one had ever lived there.

He left suddenly and left without leaving any trace.

"It turns out that Miss Jun went to Hejian." He said with regret, "I really shouldn't have thought that she returned to Yangcheng and only went south to investigate."

Who could have imagined that she would go to such a dangerous place and do such a dangerous and unbelievable thing.

Does she know what she is doing?

Isn't she a doctor?

"I'm really worried about the country and the people." Lu Yunqi said.

In Lu Yunqi's mouth, "worrying about the country and the people" is never a compliment, just like "bringing disaster to the country and the people" is not an insult.

But for Princess Jiuli, these four words are definitely compliments.

"It's her?" She was surprised and delighted. "It's her."

It seems strange but reasonable.

"She was able to do something as helpful as vaccinating the people, so how could she sit by and watch the people suffer?" she said with a smile.

The smile slowly faded away, leaving a hint of bitterness on the lips.

If it was my younger sister, she would do the same, right? The girl who had always said those stubborn and childish things since she was little.

When she heard that her father had an incurable disease, she said she would treat him.

She said that the country was destroyed and humiliated back then, and she said that she came to avenge the shame.

When everyone was sitting together, happy or unhappy, she would always suddenly raise her little chubby hands and shout out such words.

It's childish and funny, and always ruins the conversation.

She came here on purpose to cause trouble because she was not allowed to go into the garden or climb trees or walls in the palace to catch birds or fish.

But she did what she said, although she didn't cure her father.

If she were still alive now, would she also run from Lu's house to the north?

Just like when we first fell in love with that miracle doctor Zhang and ran away without telling anyone.

Princess Jiuli couldn't help but smile.

Although this house and this world are like a cage to her, as long as she has wings, she can definitely fly out.

Didn’t Miss Jun also encounter so many difficulties, yet she was still unstoppable step by step?

If she were still here, what would it be like now?

Jiuli felt a sour feeling in his nose, and he picked up the teacup to drink to cover it up.

"It's not necessarily true that we can save the world and the people," said Lu Yunqi.

Princess Jiuli put down her teacup and looked at him.

"Everyone has selfish motives, and there is nothing to be ashamed of," she said. "Even if she had other intentions, what she did was indeed to save the world and the people, and everyone benefited, so this is a good thing."

Lu Yunqi had a blank expression and said nothing.

"So she is engaged to the prince of Chengguo." Jiuli smiled again, with a hint of sigh, "That's great."

"What's good about it?" Lu Yunqi said.

His words were questions, but his tone did not contain any questioning meaning; he was just stating something.

Jiuli looked at him.

"I know you want to say that this engagement might be fake," she said, "but no matter whether it's true or not, now that she is the wife of the Duke of Cheng, there are some things you can't do recklessly."

Some things naturally refer to the various difficulties Lu Yunqi made for her and the things he was determined to win.

Lu Yunqi smiled.

"Princess, you really don't understand me." He said, "True or false has nothing to do with me."

Princess Jiuli watched him stand up.

"Lu Yunqi, if you are willing," she said, "I can understand you."

Lu Yunqi seemed not to have expected her to say this, and his expression paused slightly.

"No need." He said immediately.

"You don't need or want others to understand you. You just let yourself indulge in your own madness. What's the point of living like this?" Princess Jiuli shook her head.

Lu Yunqi's mouth curled up.

"What's the meaning of living?" he said, looking at Princess Jiuli. "Princess, what's the meaning of living when you're like this?"

You are like this.

These four words are simple, but they describe her current existence most clearly.

Now she, or to be exact, them, she and her brother.

Their existence is a joke.

Forgotten, guarded against, despised, and hated.

No one cares when you are alive, but people will cheer you when you die.

What is the meaning of living like this?

Princess Jiuli was silent for a moment.

"You said she distributed porridge along the way. Not only porridge, but also pots, bowls, pans, and utensils," she said.

Thinking of that scene, a smile appeared on her lips.

"She was in a hurry to save people. Her appearance brought happiness and joy to those anxious people."

"She personally led the troops to stop the gold thieves at the front. The people of Bazhou felt so relieved."

"When you are in trouble and hopeless, there is such a person who suddenly appears to save you and give you hope. This is such a wonderful thing."

The smile on her face deepened as she looked at Lu Yunqi.

"Being able to see the beautiful and joyful things in the world is the meaning of my life."

Lu Yunqi looked at her and smiled.

"Me too," he said.

Having said that, he turned around and strode out.

Yes, the meaning of his life is to grasp his best things and never lose them.

Seeing him coming, the Jinyiwei who were running outside stopped and saluted.

"Sir, are we going to Dingzhou? Do we need people from Dingzhou to take action?" he asked in a low voice.

Lu Yunqi walked past him without stopping.

"No need." He said, "She will come back by herself. Isn't she doing all this just to come back?"

…

"My Lord, where are you going?"

After settling down in Dingzhou for a few days, officials from all levels were surprised to hear the news that Duke Cheng was leaving, and they hurried to inquire about it.

At first, Duke Chengguo was stationed in Baozhou. Now Baozhou has become the territory of the Jin people. I thought Duke Chengguo would stay in Dingzhou.

"Let's go to Hejian Prefecture." Duke Cheng said gently, "That's the most suitable place."

He reached out and drew a line on the table.

"Baozhou, Xiongzhou, Bazhou."

All three are close to Hejian, and his hand paused on the table.

"I will stay here. I will stay here."

This one word, this one word "return", made the officers and generals present feel sad.

Although the border has changed, Duke Cheng will still guard the most dangerous place.

"Yes." They said in unison, "Please, Duke, reorganize the army."

Now that the three counties have been ceded, the various armies have retreated and are in disarray. It is time to regroup.

Duke Cheng nodded.

"Don't worry. We can still hold the north by reorganizing our forces. Even if the gold thieves enter Hebei Road, they will never be able to cross the border," he said.

The generals present responded in unison.

"As long as you are here, Duke, we are not afraid of any of you." A general said excitedly with red eyes.

Someone was walking in hurriedly outside the door. When he heard these words, he stood there in a daze.

Everyone in the room looked at him, and were very unhappy with his sudden entry that interrupted the atmosphere.

"What's the matter?" an official asked with a frown.

The man hesitated and looked at Duke Cheng.

"Go ahead." said Duke Cheng.

The man lowered his head and held out a letter.

"The news from the capital says that His Majesty has summoned the Duke to return to the capital immediately." He said in a low voice.

Go back to Beijing.

The atmosphere in the room became tense.

"With such a big incident, it is only natural for the Duke to go back and meet His Majesty." A general said with a forced smile.

The messenger lowered his head even lower.

"Your Majesty orders Qinghe Bo to take over Hebei Road and serve as the commander-in-chief of the army," he continued.

Qinghebo!

Take over the North!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed drastically.
