Chapter 456 War Begins
Inside Xiangguo Temple, Wuyou has been in seclusion for many days.
While Wuyou was meditating, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from inside the room.
His face showed slight anger, indicating that he was in seclusion and should not be disturbed.
Wuyou opened her eyes and looked at the owner of the voice.
He saw Qin Jinzhi, who had already left the capital with the army, sitting opposite him dressed in black.
Wuyou looked surprised for a moment, then became even angrier.
"Wuyou is currently in seclusion. It is against the rules for the princess to inquire about this without asking."
Qin Jinzhi looked at Wuyou and smiled happily, "Is there still a rule in this world that I, Qin Jinzhi, have to abide by?"
Wuyou frowned deeply. "Wuyou's seclusion is at a critical juncture. I urge the princess to leave immediately."
Qin Jinzhi stood up and walked to him. "I will leave on my own, but there is one thing I need to do before I leave."
Wuyou looked at Qin Jinzhi, "Is there anything else, Princess?"
A malicious glint appeared on Qin Jinzhi's face. "I'll kill you."
The sword in her hand swiftly thrust towards Wuyou.
But Wuyou quickly dodged it.
He looked at Qin Jinzhi in shock. "What does the princess mean by this?"
Qin Jinzhi simply smiled and swiftly thrust her sword at Wuyou.
As sword shadows flew, wounds began to appear on Wuyou's body.
He shouted angrily, "Is it because of the prophecy I gave that you are destined to die young? Even if the princess kills me, this prophecy cannot be changed."
Qin Jinzhi continued to attack Wuyou with a smile, each move ruthless.
When the sword pierced Wuyou's heart, Qin Jinzhi's smile widened.
“Master Wuyou may be mistaken. I have never believed that what you said was false. It is precisely because what you said is true that I want to kill you.”
Wuyou stared at Qin Jinzhi in disbelief, coughing up a mouthful of blood, and collapsed to the ground.
Qin Jinzhi sat on the couch and wiped the sword in her hand.
The door was opened again.
Chen Chi, Chen Suo, and the Hua sisters walked in.
They looked at Wuyou on the ground and examined her carefully for a while.
Chen Suo looked up at Qin Jinzhi and said, "Princess, this bald monk is easy to disguise."
Qin Jinzhi nodded, "Then let 'Worry-Free' remain in seclusion."
The four immediately replied, "Yes."
Qin Jinzhi left Xiangguo Temple like the wind.
In an inn a hundred miles outside the capital, a woman waited in her room.
Qin Jinzhi knocked on the door and then pushed it open to enter.
Zhao Yuanying looked at Qin Jinzhi and said, "The grain you requested has already been sent to the border."
During these days, Zhao Yuanying has been away from the capital, secretly procuring provisions for Qin Jinzhi.
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie, for spending so much money on me."
Zhao Yuanying scoffed, "Don't give me that. Let me tell you, I've exchanged seventy percent of my wealth for grain. You better finish this quickly and get back to the capital."
Qin Jinzhi laughed and said, "Little aunt, how rude of you. You are now a county princess."
Zhao Yuanying clicked his tongue, "Stop being so glib."
She looked at Qin Jinzhi, stepped forward and hugged her, "We will wait for your return in the capital."
Qin Jinzhi patted her on the back.
Zhao Yuanying handed a bundle to Qin Jinzhi, saying, "This is the logbook for the grain supplies, the escort route, and the personnel to meet them."
Large quantities of grain were being transported to the front lines, which would raise alarm if discovered by the State of Chu.
Therefore, the grain and provisions were also transported in multiple routes.
Qin Jinzhi slung the bundle over her shoulder and said, "Take care."
Zhao Yuanying watched Qin Jinzhi's retreating figure and chased after her to the door.
He murmured, "Come back safely."
Qin Jinzhi quickly caught up with the army.
Three days later, news came from the border.
Huo Tingshan has already led a large army to attack the State of Chu.
The State of Chu was caught off guard.
I have just received news that the State of Jin has come to hold me accountable.
While the State of Chu was still embroiled in internal strife, the army of the State of Jin had already launched its attack.
Huangfu Nanfeng once again led the army into battle.
Half a month later, Qin Ye and his group arrived at the border.
Huo Tingshan led his generals and soldiers in a welcoming banquet.
At the welcoming banquet, Qin Jinzhi spotted Wei Lin and Lou Zhao among the crowd, their faces chapped from the wind.
The two were the chief envoys of the mission, originally sent to the State of Chu to demand answers.
Before the people even arrived in the State of Chu, the two countries had already started fighting.
Wei Lin stepped forward and said, "Wei Lin greets the princess."
The voice was so hoarse it was unrecognizable.
What's wrong with your throat?
Huo Chun walked over and said, "Xiao Bao, you don't know, these two officials are very sharp-tongued. They go to the front lines every day to shout and curse for an hour. Today they shouted for a long time, and their voices have become hoarse."
Qin Jinzhi smiled and poured Wei Lin a glass of wine.
Then he looked at Huo Chun and asked, "Has the State of Chu avoided war?"
Huo Chun nodded. "The State of Chu is avoiding war entirely, holding its city gates and refusing to come out. A rash attack would needlessly cost the lives of our soldiers. The two of you are shouting and cursing at the front lines every day, which is disrupting the morale of the army. We are launching continuous night raids, and the city closest to the battlefield has already been captured by our army."
Qin Jinzhi nodded, "Well done, keep going. Once the mechanical beasts and supplies arrive, launch a full-scale attack."
Upon hearing this, Huo Chun immediately smiled and said, "With this mechanical beast, our army's casualties will be greatly reduced, and the conquest of Chu will be just around the corner."
When the Prince of Zhenbei returned to camp, the soldiers cheered with joy.
But more than anything, I was curious about Qin Jinzhi.
This young master, who had always been raised in the capital, actually went to the battlefield.
Zhang Dong and the others noticed the way everyone was looking at Qin Jinzhi.
There was curiosity, doubt, disdain, and indifference.
The people who got beaten up had expressions of schadenfreude on their faces.
We can't let them be the ones to get beaten!
The medical officers in the military camp also heard that the head of the Imperial Medical Academy had come with them.
They were somewhat disappointed when they found out that Liu Yiyi was a woman.
Liu Yiyi wasn't angry; this was a battlefield, and lives were at stake.
They naturally hoped that the attending physician would be highly skilled.
Although she became the vice president of the Imperial Medical Academy.
However, the world is not yet fully accepting of women practicing medicine.
Liu Yiyi ate her food calmly.
After drinking a cup of wine, he walked over to a soldier who was holding a wine bowl.
The soldier was joking and laughing with others, but his arm was moving rather slowly.
He was drinking when a white figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Just as he was about to speak, Liu Yiyi suddenly grabbed his arm.
The soldier immediately frowned, "Young lady, what are you going to do..."
"ah!"
The soldier shouted before he could finish speaking.
He stood up angrily, "What are you doing!"
Liu Yiyi gestured to his arm, "Does it still hurt?"
The soldier was stunned. He looked at his arm and realized that it really didn't hurt anymore.
He moved his arms freely, looking at Liu Yiyi with a joyful expression.
"It really doesn't hurt anymore."
Liu Yiyi calmly said, "Your arm dislocated in a rather clever way. Although it hurts a bit, you can still move it. If it weren't put back in place, you wouldn't even be able to hold a knife tomorrow."
Many of the soldiers around were incredulous at the sight.
The soldier said somewhat embarrassedly, "Thank you, physician."
Liu Yiyi said, "My name is Liu Yiyi. I am a new military doctor. If you are injured, come to my tent to find me."
After saying that, he returned to his seat.
The group, who had just been harboring doubts, suddenly felt somewhat embarrassed.
Liu Yiyi didn't expect these soldiers to believe her anytime soon.
But she had to let them know her capabilities.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be of any help here.
