Qiu Liang couldn't help but remind him, "Don't forget to clear the area. I'm going to the town to find Shi Zairong first. I'll be back soon."
Aside from a few close friends and Doctor Nie, no one in the military knew about Shi Zairong's illness. Naturally, the fact that a military doctor had been dispatched to treat him had to be kept secret for now. Wang Nianqing knew the severity of the matter perfectly well, needing no reminder from Qiu Liang. "Don't worry, I'm the Shadow Master after all, so I know how to handle this."
Qiu Liang had already walked away, but suddenly, as if on a whirlwind of thought, he hurried back and said, "As for Xia Houjun, I'll ask him when I get back. After all, he's the prey I've been tracking for so long without being able to catch, so I want to ask him how he managed to escape."
Wang Nianqing couldn't help but chuckle. This guy was efficient, but at his age, he still had the heart of a child. No wonder he got along so well with Tang Chen, and even the two children liked to be with him. "That's easy, but as for Yan Zhou, after coaxing him into drinking the medicine, he probably won't sleep for too long. If he wakes up, I'll have to report this matter, so make sure you get back before dark."
Doctor Nie quietly followed Wang Nianqing into Wang Yanzhou's tent and left shortly afterwards. Wang Yanzhou didn't know what was wrong; he used to be quite cooperative, but lately he'd rather sleep than take his medicine. If Wang Nianqing hadn't constantly used Tang Chen and Wang Guiyi as reminders, he probably wouldn't even be able to swallow the medicine.
Wang Nianqing was leading a patrol through the army. Just as they reached the main gate, they saw Qiu Liang and Lin Feng galloping towards them. When the two stopped to catch their breath, she said, somewhat surprised, "I thought we'd have to wait a little longer. Master Lin Feng just took some medicine and is resting. Please wait here for a moment."
Lin Feng wiped the large beads of sweat from his forehead and asked, "Your Highness seems to be in poor health. Is he sick or overworked?"
"There are many military affairs, and we didn't expect so many unexpected things to happen, so we didn't bring Shaoqing and Zhong Qin with us. If one of them had come, the situation would have taken a long time to recover."
After hearing what Wang Nianqing said, Lin Feng didn't ask any further questions. After all, the commander's physical condition was a military secret and couldn't be disclosed casually. "I see. Then I'll just wait here quietly for a while. Coincidentally, I've been traveling all the way here, and I'm a little tired."
Lin Feng had just finished his work and was eager to enjoy a rare moment of leisure and the communal meals of the army when Qiu Liang grabbed him. He had originally planned to talk to Shi Zairong first, but Qiu Liang said he had already spoken and just told him to come along. After running all this way, even standing there felt like his calves were trembling.
Qiu Liang said that since time was not urgent, it was not impossible to let Lin Feng rest for a while. After all, he was not a devil. "How about this, if Master Lin doesn't mind, go to my tent and rest for a while. I will call you when I am rested."
"Well, I'll have to trouble Qiuliang to lead the way."
...Wang Yanzhou dozed off for a while, and by the time he woke up after waiting for the drug to take effect, it was already evening. After hearing Wang Nianqing come over and say that the missing Xiahou Chun had actually "fallen into a trap," he was busy changing his clothes while also busy complaining to his subordinates for not responding quickly when there was something important, and for not letting them miss out on important military matters.
Xiahou Jun finally heard the noise he'd been waiting for outside the tent and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Qingliang Valley had quite a few rules. After confirming his identity, they'd left him alone for such a long time. That was quite a show of force.
As Wang Yanzhou stepped into the tent, Xiahou Jun stood up and said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, "Humph, I thought you had no interest in me and were ready to leave. Finally, someone who can make the decision has arrived. Your Majesty, Xiahou Jun is here to greet you."
Before Xiahou Chun could finish showing off his wealth, he subconsciously took a half step back when he saw Lin Feng following closely behind him: "How could you still be alive!"
Lin Feng nodded slightly and said, "It's just good luck. Lord Xiahou, it's been a long time since we last met. I came here today specifically to meet you again, isn't it?"
"The man from the Huangfu family who kidnapped you that day was indeed not a simple person." Because Lin Feng was kidnapped, he was often criticized in the back at that time. Even Xiahou Qing thought that he must have gone to the underworld, but he did not expect that he would still be standing here in full energy at this moment. "Forget it, there is no point in talking about this now."
Wang Yanzhou found a good spot and sat down comfortably, completely ignoring Xiahou Chun. Instead, Qiu Liang and the others were tasked with speaking to this rare guest. "Master Xiahou, your words are wrong. Everything you say must have a deeper meaning. I just don't know what brings you here today."
Xiahou Jun watched Wang Yanzhou's every move with an inquiring look and said, "Nothing serious, I just wanted to spy on the enemy."
Qiu Liang said that this was easy to say. Xiahou Chun's ability to evade pursuit was much more powerful than the rumors said. "Oh, really? Just for such a simple matter, there is no need for you to hide here and there. Wouldn't it have been faster if you had just followed me?"
Xiahou Chun was terrified and hiding, but he was forced to do so. If Qiu Liang could easily track him down, wouldn't Xiahou Qing be able to find him as well? "If you could easily track me down, I wouldn't be here right now. I didn't take the risk to come here to talk nonsense. I'm here to discuss business, King Qingliang."
Wang Yanzhou, who was named, finally looked at Xiahou Chun straight in the eye. Then, he raised his hand slightly and instructed, "Qiuliang, prepare the pen and ink, and go get the abacus from me. It's in the mahogany box closest to the bed. By the way, call Nianqing over. I think he's the fastest person here at reading the account books and calculating the accounts. If Zhong Qin were here, we could save all these things."
Lin Feng was slightly taken aback when he heard this. It was understandable that there were special people to keep the account books during the war, but it was really unusual for a prince to carry these things with him. "The prince is really unpredictable. He actually brought these things with him when he was on the march."
