IF Route 1 Walkthrough Mission 1, First Encounter
The gate of the Northern Army camp.
Ji Qingwu stood in front of the door with his bundle on his back, his right hand clenched tightly in excitement.
She wandered around the nearby town for a month, and finally received news that the army was recruiting a military doctor.
Great, she has completed the first step in her mission of giving birth.
Entering the military camp may seem like a small step, but it is actually a giant leap.
Next, all you need to do is find the general who, as the system says, is the one who will have no heir and must bear a child for him.
Ji Qingwu was filled with fighting spirit.
A soldier led her to her lodgings, and Ji Qingwu asked, "I'd like to ask, who is the commander-in-chief of our army?"
The soldier said sternly, "Why are you asking about these things?"
Ji Qingwu smiled and said, "I'm new here. I'll be in the army from now on, and I'm afraid I might accidentally offend some important people."
The soldier said bluntly, "You little army medic have no access to the general. The general has his own dedicated medics. Don't worry about useless things."
Ji Qingwu felt a little disappointed.
But she was prepared for a tough time, and quickly perked up, saying in a casual manner, "Young man, judging from your accent, you're from Jining Town?"
Seeing the soldier nod, Ji Qingwu exclaimed, "I passed through Jining Town on my way here."
As she spoke, she took out a bag of flatbread from her bundle and handed it to him, saying, "An old woman from a farming family gave me this pot of ash flatbread to thank me for treating her grandson's illness."
The soldier then looked at her properly, refused to take the pot of ash cakes, and pushed it back to her, but his attitude towards her was much better.
Jining Town and Ninghe Town are very close, and the soldier's hometown was also affected by the disaster. Although he felt that the female doctor talked too much, she was a good doctor.
As they rounded the corner, the soldier said, "General Zhenbei is gentle and good-tempered. As long as you don't make a mistake, he won't punish you, but..."
Ji Qingwu's eyes darted around, and he obtained the first useful piece of information.
General Zhenbei.
She has a pretty good temper.
She ignored the soldier's hesitant "but".
When they arrived at the tent, there were already two people inside: a cook and a laundry lady.
After the soldier gave Ji Qingwu a brief introduction and a set of military equipment, he left.
The laundry maid greeted Ji Qingwu warmly: "It's been a long time since I've seen such a beautiful girl in the army."
She took the bedding from Ji Qingwu's hands, placed it on the bed closest to the tent flap, and said warmly, "Miss, please stay here."
Just as Ji Qingwu was about to ask how to address her, the laundry maid said, "Just call me Aunt Zhang."
The cook didn't say much; she nodded to her and left.
Aunt Zhang, who was washing clothes, said, "That's just Sister Bai's personality, don't take it to heart."
Ji Qingwu didn't take it too seriously. Firstly, it wasn't a big deal, and secondly, she was using her experience to win over the general who had no heir.
Just as she was about to ask Aunt Zhang about the news of this General Zhenbei, a bugle suddenly sounded in the camp.
Ji Qingwu asked, "What is that sound?"
Aunt Zhang said, "Girl, this is the signal for dinner. Come on, let's go have dinner first."
The military camp was divided into east and west camps, with the drill ground in the middle designated as a dining area, where higher-ranking officers ate from the watchtowers.
There was war on the border, and apart from those who went out to fight and those who patrolled and guarded, only a few hundred soldiers remained in the camp.
The soldiers walked in an orderly fashion past five large earthenware urns to collect their meals.
Ji Qingwu sat down with Aunt Zhang in the southwest corner. The millet rice in the bowl, along with pickled leeks and fermented black beans, was their meal. The food was not delicious at all, but it was plentiful and filling.
The cook must have recognized Ji Qingwu, because she served her a large spoonful of millet porridge.
Ji Qingwu ate for a long time, and there was still food bubbling up in the bowl.
But in today's chaotic world, being able to eat a hot meal is a luxury for many people.
Ji Qingwu dared not waste any food, so he took a big bite and forced it down.
Then, the bugle sounded again, more urgent and stirring than the sound of serving meals.
Ji Qingwu looked around and found that the soldiers had put down their bowls and chopsticks and were standing ramrod straight.
Aunt Zhang, who was standing next to her, also stood up and tugged at her. Ji Qingwu, whose mouth was full of food and hadn't had time to swallow, also stood up.
"What's wrong?"
Aunt Zhang said, "The general has led his troops back to camp."
Ji Qingwu's eyes lit up. She was so lucky to meet her target on her very first day.
The sound of horses' hooves grew closer, but they didn't go directly to the drill ground; the sound suggested they were heading to the stables on the east side.
Half an hour passed.
Because the general suddenly returned to camp, dinner was prepared according to the number of people remaining in the camp, and Aunt Zhang was called away to help.
Ji Qingwu was alone in the southwest corner, watching a large group of people walk towards the center of the camp.
The leader was still wearing his black armor, his steps were steady, and the sword at his waist was not sheathed, its blade covered with frost, exuding a cold aura.
As the man approached, the soldiers on the drill ground bowed in unison and said, "Greetings, General!"
The distance between them was too great for Ji Qingwu to see the face and expression of the General of the North. He stood before them, his demeanor calm and imposing, and the entire army stood in solemn silence.
Ji Qingwu also became nervous, his heart pounding.
Is this the "gentle and good-tempered" person the soldier who led the way mentioned earlier?
She expressed deep suspicion, saying that just by looking at his profile, she could tell he was a cold and aloof man, and that he didn't seem easy to get along with.
Whether it was because he sensed her inner turmoil or not, Ji Qingwu seemed to feel that he was looking in her direction.
She lowered her head guiltily, but she quickly raised it again.
There are so many people between us!
He must have superhuman eyesight to see her expression clearly.
Ji Qingwu's cheeks were bulging as she struggled to swallow the rough, hard food. She then saw the soldiers in front of her making way for her, one layer at a time.
A messenger ran through the middle of the drill ground; judging from his attire, he didn't look like a soldier, but rather...
The man spoke in a high-pitched voice: "You're the new military doctor?"
Ji Qingwu looked at the elderly eunuch and replied, "Yes, he just arrived this afternoon."
The old eunuch nodded and said, "Come with me."
Ji Qingwu asked curiously, "Is there something you need?"
The general is injured, it's not her place to treat him, what do you want her to do when you call her over?
The old eunuch didn't say what to do, but only gave a hint: "Answer whatever the general asks, and don't ask anything you shouldn't ask."
Ji Qingwu pursed her lips and followed behind him.
She had only walked halfway when she felt her shoulders getting heavier and the pressure on her head increasing.
It wasn't the soldiers' gazes, but rather the oppressive look from directly in front of her target.
Even after walking a distance of just over ten meters, Ji Qingwu's legs felt weak as he reached the center.
There was an old eunuch blocking the way ahead. After he stepped aside, she immediately felt the oppressive aura emanating from the man in front of her.
But when she thought about how this was the person she was trying to win over, the person she would love and have children with in the future, she was surprised.
Ji Qingwu looked up and met his gaze, but her resolve only lasted a moment. After a brief exchange of glances, she hurriedly looked away.
She saw his face clearly and was immediately struck by his beauty.
At this moment, Ji Qingwu had only one thought in his mind.
She had previously fantasized that, in a last resort, she could complete the mission by sacrificing her sexuality.
Such a radiant face, almost too dazzling to look directly at—who's seducing whom...?
The air around them seemed to freeze. Ji Qingwu quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, General."
