Wang Nianqing, as if she was completely bored and had nothing to do, slowly called Tang Chen and said, "You've asked them all, but not Zhong Qin or Shao Qing? You really value women over friends."
Tang Chen smiled and said, "They are people who need no one to worry about. They know their limits. I have the time to spare. I'd rather spend it thinking of ways to ensure you don't have to worry about anything after you send your troops."
Instead of wasting time and energy on unnecessary things, it's better to think about how to make the most of your life, which is about to end. Tang Chen still has a lot of things to plan, unlike Wang Nianqing, who has time to slack off here. If Wang Yanzhou and the others find out, who knows what they will say to him.
Wang Nianqing stood up and blew away the fine dust on the mask, "You have grown a lot compared to before, and you are now a real princess."
Tang Chen straightened his back and said, "When you've been away for three days, you should look at someone with new eyes." "Of course. You don't have to worry about South Vietnam for now. I believe in Shi Zairong's character."
Wang Nianqing put on her mask and said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you with the black market, Princess."
The smile on Tang Chen's face froze for a moment, then melted into soft ripples on his face. He thought they hadn't noticed because they never asked, "...Just leave it to me."
"I've always been relieved."
After Tang Chen left, Wang Nianqing sat in the small dark room for nearly half an hour wearing a mask. Seeing that no one else came, she stretched her muscles and prepared to leave. "Okay, it looks like there won't be any more guests coming. I should get back to work. If I slack off any more, I'm afraid Wang Yanzhou will nag me."
Speaking of Wang Yanzhou, he's in a difficult situation right now, and probably doesn't have the time or energy to nag others for the time being. Zhong Qin pinched her nose and stood at the door of the courtesy room, looking inside and asked, "Yanzhou, are you okay? I've been running around several times today. Do you want to ask a military doctor to check you out? Or if you don't want to, you can come out and let me take a look. Although I'm not as good as Chen Xin, I'm not blind, so at least I can tell if you're really okay."
Wang Yanzhou seemed to be holding his breath, and his voice sounded a little strange, "No, it's okay, you go and do your work first, I'll be fine in a while."
Zhong Qin took a deep breath and continued to ask, "Really?"
Wang Yanzhou knew Zhong Qin was worried about him, but with so much going on in the army right now, it was embarrassing for a grown man like him to stand outside and wait for him. People who didn't know would definitely think the wrong thing and affect his high image in everyone's mind: "Even if it's not true, you can't stay here forever, right? Don't you think it's a bit embarrassing?"
After thinking for a moment, Zhong Qin said, "Then I'll go back first. If you really feel uncomfortable, don't hide it from us. Now is not the time for you to be willful."
"I know, I know, stop nagging me. Get out of here."
Wang Yanzhou heaved a sigh of relief when he heard no more strange noises outside. While the smell here was unpleasant, it was the only place he could hide. The people around him all had sharp noses; luckily Xihe hadn't returned yet, otherwise that girl's nose would have picked up on something amiss.
What Wang Yanzhou hadn't expected was how quickly his condition would worsen. Zhiyoulin was truly an incredible place. It was ultimately your own carelessness. But, from now on, how much time did he have left? A year, or even a month? Was he really going to die before his ambitions were fulfilled? "Damn it! How could this be..."
On the other hand, the army that was hastily put together and could only intimidate people with its numbers was finally approaching the sphere of influence of Qingliang County after leaving Qinghe County for several days.
Xiahou Qing squinted his eyes and looked up at the scorching sun. He asked, "How far is it to Qingliang Valley now?"
"Master, we still have over a hundred miles to go to reach Zhiyoulin."
Xiahou Qing saw that the weather was not suitable for traveling. Since there was not much distance left, he decided to rest for a while and give Shi Zairong and Wang Yanzhou some time. He considered it as an extra gift from him: "Send the order to set up camp."
"yes."
...After hearing the news of setting up camp on the spot, Linghua, who had been shaken half to death in the carriage, didn't care at all that Huangfu Zhong was holding a bronze tripod in the carriage. He suddenly lay down in the carriage. Linghua, who was sitting awkwardly but looked comfortable, breathed a sigh of relief, "Huh, we finally stopped. This carriage is too uncomfortable to sit in. It would be more comfortable for me to walk."
Huangfu Zhong wanted to be more relaxed when he saw her like this, but she was still a child after all, and he was already an adult, so he had to set a good example. He could only act politely: "It's really unfair that the young lady has to share a car with me."
Linghua waved her hand and said, "It's nothing. How is the Shengxi Gu?"
Huangfu Zhong lowered his eyes to look at the bronze tripod in his hand and said, "Well, there is no problem, don't worry, young lady."
Since Linghua's eyes had already caught sight of the bronze tripod, she couldn't help but ask a few more questions: "Mr. Huangfu, do those living dead really follow the life-breathing Gu? Will they suddenly run around and bite people?"
Huangfu Zhong explained, "During the day, the Gu worms are not very active. We have to wait until after dusk. Because of the special feeding method, as long as the body is not contaminated with the scent of puppet silk, it is basically safe."
Upon hearing this, Linghua's relaxed expression suddenly changed. After sitting up straight, she asked, as if she knew him well: "So, will those living dead in the city follow us in the evening?"
Huangfu Zhong shook his head slightly and said, "The Pavilion Master hasn't issued any orders yet. Before that, those living dead should still be in the county city. I just can't understand why you and I have to bring the Life-Resilience Gu with us."
Linghua snorted coldly and said, "Isn't that simple? He's just worried. He probably thinks that it's safe only when he can see it under his nose every day."
Xiahou Qing didn't trust him, and Huangfu Zhong naturally knew it, but what else could he do? He had tried many times to end his life, but simply couldn't bring himself to do it. Now, to seek forgiveness, he could only try his best to conceal the matter of the Shengxi Gu. In a matter of life and death, if God had mercy, he would still prefer to die in front of the old patriarch.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Does your master really trust you to follow him? It might be fine at other times, but now we have to march and fight. The battlefield is a place where swords are merciless. Isn't he afraid that something will happen to you?"
