Lu Yanzheng glanced at him and nodded, saying, "We've won for now. I'll go back to the manor first. You can help Old Fu clean up the mess."
Qin Shen originally wanted to ask what was so powerful, but seeing Lu Yanzheng's exhaustion and remembering that Jiang Qinyu had arrived, he quickly nodded and said, "Alright, General, you should also go back and rest."
Lu Yanzheng quickly returned to the General's Mansion.
Jiang Qinyu has been settled in the main courtyard by Uncle Wang, Uncle Li, Uncle Zhao, and others. It's still the same room she lived in before, and nothing inside has changed except that the winter bedding has been replaced with summer bedding.
"The general is back!" Old Zhao and the others saw Lu Yanzheng stride back into the mansion and immediately rushed forward excitedly to greet him.
Lu Yanzheng looked inside. "Where is Madam?"
"We've just settled in, and this old servant noticed that the madam seems to be injured, but there aren't any maids in the household to take care of her!" Old Wang said thoughtfully.
How could those old men dare to take care of the lady? Wouldn't that be out of their minds?
So when he saw that his wife couldn't even lift her arm, he quickly offered up his treasured liniment and medicinal wine.
"Go and invite Doctor Mo over. Tell him that Madam is injured and ask him to take a look," Lu Yanzheng said without hesitation.
Doctor Mo is a part-time doctor at the military medical department. During times of war, he usually stays at the military medical department to oversee operations.
Ordinary people naturally couldn't get him to come, and it wouldn't be appropriate to do so at this time, but Lu Yanzheng didn't want Jiang Qinyu to suffer any long-term effects, so he asked him to come and take a look so he could feel at ease.
Old Wang readily agreed and immediately went to find the person.
"Uncle Zhao," Lu Yanzheng said to Old Zhao, "go and find two maids or old women to help take care of Madam."
"This old servant will go right away!" Old Zhao also left.
After making these arrangements, Lu Yanzheng strode towards the main courtyard.
When Old Li saw that he wasn't assigned any tasks, he simply ran to the gate to watch over the main entrance.
Sure enough, just as he arrived at the gate, he saw Uncle Chen leading a group of people over.
"Huh? Brother Chen, what's going on..." Old Li was a little confused.
He found it strange when Jiang Qinyu came over, because Uncle Chen took the young master and young lady to Dingshui Village. It didn't make sense that Madam would return and he wouldn't.
Now things are even stranger, because Uncle Chen has brought a group of people with him.
“I’m getting old. We have a distinguished guest at the manor. You should hurry up and tidy up the courtyard. The general will be back soon…” Chen Bo was about to tell Lu Yanzheng to go see the Seventh Prince when Old Li interrupted him.
"The general has just returned and is now visiting the lady."
Uncle Chen was taken aback. "The general and his wife are back? What happened to the wife?"
"Don't you know? Madam seems to be injured..." Old Li was about to say something more, but Uncle Chen had already forgotten about Xiao Rui and the others, and after giving a few casual instructions, he went to the main courtyard.
Xiao Rui was both amused and exasperated by the scene, but being an easygoing person, he chatted amiably with Old Li since no one was there to entertain him.
"This young master..." Old Li didn't know how to address him, but since Uncle Chen had just said that he was an honored guest, he didn't dare to be negligent.
“I am the seventh child in my family, so please call me Seventh Young Master,” Xiao Rui said kindly.
Upon hearing this, Old Li didn't stand on ceremony. "Seventh Young Master, you have no idea how scared you scared us old folks just now..."
He rambled on about many unimportant things, talking to Xiao Rui for almost half an hour.
Xiao Rui listened patiently, which further confirmed Lu Yanzheng's character.
There isn't even a maid or servant in the mansion. Only when the madam arrives do they send people to serve her. How can this be considered a general's mansion?
It seems that the Emperor was truly deceived by Prime Minister Su.
At this moment, Xiao Rui was very glad that he had come along. Otherwise, he would never have known how difficult it was for the border troops. Even Lu Yanzheng, who was a general, lived such a life. One could only imagine how the soldiers below him were.
...
Lu Yanzheng entered the bedroom, and Jiang Qinyu, behind the screen, called out, "Who is it?"
"Me." Lu Yanzheng strode around the screen and saw her leaning against the headboard. That bittersweet feeling of sadness and heartache welled up in his heart again. "How are you feeling now?"
He had used a rocket launcher more than ten times in a row, so he knew very well why Jiang Qinyu was acting this way.
Even though he had practiced martial arts for many years and was quite skilled, he still felt numbness in his shoulders and arms when using this thing, and at first he also felt like he couldn't lift his arms. How much more so for a woman like Jiang Qinyu.
"Thank goodness," Jiang Qinyu said, knowing the battle situation had likely been resolved upon his return. A smile tugged at the corner of her lips. "Did they retreat?"
Lu Yanzheng nodded, "They've withdrawn, but they probably haven't completely withdrawn yet."
After all, drought is rampant everywhere, but the border town has water. Unless absolutely necessary, the allied forces of the Western Qiang and Dayuan will not give up this piece of fat meat that is right in front of them.
"Then let the Ordnance Bureau hurry up and get some weapons for self-defense, so we don't fall into a passive position again," Jiang Qinyu sighed.
The moment she realized the city gates had been breached, she couldn't care less about anything else.
What does it mean to breach the city? She was someone who grew up reading historical stories. If she didn't force the other side to retreat this time, not only would the border town suffer, but the entire Yukang Prefecture would be doomed.
To put it more bluntly, someone like the Emperor of Da Yue could probably fight his way all the way from Yu Kang Prefecture to the capital.
At that time, the people of Dai Viet were truly living in dire straits.
Putting everything else aside, even for the sake of Shufan and Pan'er's future, Jiang Qinyu cannot allow such a thing to happen.
So regardless of whether it was a secret or not, when she received the rocket launcher from the system, she immediately decided that she had to help Lu Yanzheng defend the border.
However, the system is really terrible. It gave us three rocket launchers, but only thirty artillery shells. If we want to replenish the shells, we have to spend a lot of money to buy military supplies.
Jiang Qinyu only had 500 points left, and she really didn't dare to waste any!
“I can handle the weapons and blueprints. The most urgent thing now is to repair the city gates and walls. We need to get them done before their next attack,” Lu Yanzheng said in a low voice.
He was glad that Jiang Qinyu hadn't hidden anything from him, but what she had brought out was too shocking, so he had to find a way to cover it up.
Besides, those blueprints looked like something they could make, and he felt indebted to her and would find a way to compensate her in other ways in the future.
Jiang Qinyu knew he knew better than she did what she should do, so she didn't say anything more and stayed in the general's mansion to recuperate.
The Seventh Prince, on the other hand, after revealing his identity to Lu Yanzheng, followed him around with great enthusiasm every day, seemingly interested in everything.
Meanwhile, the Fifth Prince of Western Qiang was extremely agitated by Lu Yanzheng's new weapon, and naturally he needed to vent his frustration.
Right now, Yu Hanyan is enduring the wrath of the Fifth Prince of Western Qiang.
"Your Highness...Your Highness...This servant knows where Lu Yanzheng's things came from..." [I've had a bad cold these past two days, feeling dizzy and unwell all the time. Please wait a little longer, my darlings, I'll definitely be updating soon.]
