Chapter 269 Ming'an County Sends Goods
Lu Qingqing was deluding herself; there wasn't a single letter from Ji Ruyan in this case.
"Gu Chengye, the commander of the Gu family army, is a renowned physician."
"The military advisor of the Gu family army, Ji Zhang, requests the divine physician to open this document personally."
"Respectfully presented by Deputy General Dong Ming of the Gu Family Army to the divine physician."
"Respectfully requested by Jing Dachuan, the vanguard of the Gu Family Army, to be opened by the divine physician."
"..."
"..."
Lu Qingqing's hand trembled.
The general even wrote to her, and they don't even know each other! There's only one possibility then:
This is the beginning of Ji Ruyan's downfall!!!
Did something happen to him as soon as he arrived?
More than a dozen letters, each more humble than the last, made Lu Qingqing seem to see a group of soldiers kneeling and begging for help.
When Ji Ruyan left, she gave her a bunch of life-saving medicines. Gu Chengzhou shamelessly begged, knelt down, and even sang opera for her to get her last life-saving pill that could prolong life for three days.
With that pile of medicine, it should be able to buy us five days, right?
Lu Qingqing felt flustered and quickly opened the general's letter.
He asked urgently, "How many days would it take to get to the northern border at full speed?"
"If it's a subordinate, working day and night, it would take about six days; if it's an ordinary person, it would take at least ten days."
Mo Lang looked at Lu Qingqing's solemn expression and became nervous as well.
Has something happened to the young master?
But soon, they noticed that Lu Qingqing had a puzzled look on her face.
After reading the general's letter, he went to read the others. Once he finished reading the others, his expression completely relaxed.
"Is he out of his mind? Why is he making such a big fuss over a simple bracelet!"
"This thing is just for helping you sleep, it doesn't really do anything. Did they misunderstand something?"
If you need medicine, you should ask for a life-saving pill or a medicine to save your life.
Mo Lang lowered his head and secretly glanced at one of the letters.
"I respectfully request that Physician Lu bestow upon me a bracelet containing divine medicine. Guan Dachuan prays for Physician Lu every day, wishing him a long and healthy life, and that all his wishes come true..."
The handwriting looks like a dog's scribbles; it's even worse than what he wrote.
It's all just a bunch of nonsense, so cheesy!
How dare they ask for a girl's bracelet? These men in the military camp are really crazy. We're at war, what use is this thing?
However, Mo Lang only dared to grumble inwardly. After all, it was sent from the military camp, and the young master was there to oversee things, so perhaps it was truly in urgent need.
Lu Qingqing thought for a moment, "Fighting a war is not easy, we can't refuse to give them these things."
Although rolling, drying, and grinding the pills was very troublesome, she was still willing to give them to the soldiers fighting in the war.
Lu Qingqing took this very seriously, even making different versions with different effects, some red and some green, which looked especially good on her.
She wasn't stingy and made a huge batch.
That's enough for them to share.
Pack it up, pack it up, and Mo Lang arranged for someone to send it to the Northern Border at top speed.
The North.
Gu Chengzhou said that Lu Qingqing is the Crown Prince's savior and also the person he admires. That bracelet was a gift from Lu Qingqing. Gu Chengye is definitely doomed!
Gu Chengye couldn't leave a bad impression on the Crown Prince, whom he respected, so he had to make amends.
He summoned his strategist that very night and wrote a letter requesting another string of coins to return to His Highness the Crown Prince.
Gu Chengzhou then said:
Stop dreaming! Lu Qingqing's medicine is extremely rare. He cried and shamelessly begged for three days to get such a precious pill.
The bracelet you're giving to His Highness the Crown Prince must be even more precious. Count how many beads it has!
Don't assume that Lu Qingqing is like other women; if she's unwilling to give you something, you can't buy it even if you offer her a mountain of gold and silver.
Even when His Highness the Crown Prince offers precious gifts, no one wants them.
He also wanted the bracelet, thinking he was being presumptuous just because he was a great general?
Upon hearing this, Gu Chengye sighed deeply, realizing that the person the Crown Prince had chosen was indeed extraordinary.
They have now changed their strategy again.
He gathered all of his dozen or so capable subordinates and wrote a letter in what he considered the most sincere language to ask for the bracelet.
He might not be able to do it alone, but maybe one out of a dozen or so letters will be able to move Lu Qingqing!
The request cannot be made to His Highness the Crown Prince, otherwise Miss Lu might be angry if she finds out that the prince's bracelet is ruined.
He also said that whoever Miss Lu gave the bracelet to would receive a promotion! Anyone who didn't get promoted would receive a reward of fifty taels of silver!
So, that's how the dozen or so letters came about.
It was quite difficult for a group of roughnecks; they racked their brains and thought about it all night before finally managing to cobble together a letter.
Some people used the pitiful tactic: they had an eighty-year-old mother to support, a crying baby to feed, and villagers who were hoping for their victory and return home. All they wanted was a bracelet as a talisman.
Someone tried to take advantage of the situation: "Your Highness cherishes the bracelet too much and is afraid to touch it for fear of damaging it. I hope you can give me another one so we can wear it alternately."
Some people were writing and drawing, while another person knelt on the ground and kowtowed wildly.
It can be described as the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities.
Gu Chengye looked through them one by one and felt that all the different styles were there, so he sent them out together.
On this day, everyone gathered together amidst the sounds of gongs and drums.
Because they had just fought a battle with Qin Wangchuan, forcing him out of the Northern Border City.
Although Qin Wangchuan was a bit foolish, he was indeed a fierce general.
If it were a one-on-one fight, there would be few in the entire Da Gan region who could rival him, not even Gu Chengye.
Unexpectedly, they achieved a resounding victory in their first confrontation.
The Crown Prince has arrived; it seems the Gu family army has been blessed by heaven.
His Highness the Crown Prince pointed out the enemy's weak point, which could be attacked, and it turned out to be that weak point.
He and Qin Wangchuan were locked in a fierce battle when suddenly a bird landed on Qin Wangchuan's face.
Otherwise, Qin Wangchuan wouldn't have retreated so quickly.
"Your Highness, you truly live up to your reputation as the true successor of Heaven; even the heavens are on our side!"
Gu Chengye shouted with joy.
The strategist only looked at the treasure in Ji Ruyan's hand.
He and Ji Ruyan were standing together at the back, so he knew that this thing was no ordinary object.
"Your Highness, your clairvoyance is truly amazing! You see so clearly. May I take another look?"
Ji Ruyan touched the Thousand-Mile Mirror and handed it over: "Be careful, this requires precise calculation and careful polishing of the mirror's curvature. It's very difficult to make a second one."
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness!"
The strategist picked it up like a precious treasure, opened it, and looked into the distance.
Suddenly, a large eyeball appeared in front of me.
"What is this? Let me take a look."
"I want to see it too!"
"Me too, me too..."
"Be careful, be careful, don't break it! This is a unique treasure in the world. If you break it, you won't be able to pay for it with your life!"
Everyone was making a ruckus, and just then, a soldier ran up to deliver a message.
"Your Highness, General, someone from Ming'an County has delivered something!"
Ming'an County?
Ji Ruyan suddenly stood up from her seat.
The noise in the lobby instantly ceased.
Gu Chengye tried desperately to signal to the soldier with his eyes, but the soldier misunderstood.
"General, I have remembered your instructions to notify you immediately if someone from Ming'an County delivers something. Look, the things have arrived!"
The soldier lifted the large bundle from his shoulder and handed it to him.
