Ji Changying coughed dryly. "Well, we're not strangers. I know you're always fair in your rewards and punishments. What do you think of my brother this time..."
Zhonglizhou looked at her with amusement, "Is that what you want to say?"
"Tsk! I'm not a petty person. I'm thinking about going home. I have to tell my family about it. I want to ask you so that you can have some idea of what's going on!"
Ji Changying had an expression on her face that said, "It's not me who wants to know, it's my family who wants to know."
"...I understand the merit. It can be big or small according to what Song Yifei said. The specific conclusion will be made after the news from Tieling Guard is reported back. It will definitely be promoted."
Ji Changying clapped her hands: "Okay, it's settled! I'll go back then!"
"Is my grandmother okay over there?"
After being gone for so long and without any news, Zhonglizhou couldn't help but feel curious.
Ji Changying stood up and said, "Except for liking to hug my mother and recognize her as her daughter, everything else is fine!"
Zhong Lizhou's eyes widened, a look of surprise on his face. "Holding your mother, you recognize... your daughter?"
Ji Changying looked Zhonglizhou up and down.
If someone else had looked at him like that, he would have been dragged out. But at this moment, he felt a little guilty, his eyes wandering. "What's wrong?"
"Why are you pretending? Didn't you know this a long time ago, and you deliberately didn't tell me?"
Zhongli Zhou was dumbfounded. "You, you knew?"
"You think I'm stupid!"
Ji Changying rolled her eyes at him and walked away.
She just didn't like talking to these cunning people who kept thinking about things. If she wanted to know something, she should just ask directly instead of probing them.
"Okay, that's pretty good."
Zhongli Zhou forced a smile and sat back down helplessly.
He really wanted to ask more about this matter, but there was still a lot of mess waiting to be cleaned up, so he had no choice but to give up.
Brigadier General Yang and his men did not go far, and were staring at Duan Yunzheng, Zhang Ke and others with a fierce look.
Seeing Ji Changying come out, Xu Yong and Ma Ankang immediately felt relieved and looked at her hopefully: "How is it? Did the prince say we can leave?"
Ji Changying waved her hand: "It's not a big deal, brother, come with me!"
After hearing this, Ji Mingxue ran over and asked, "What did you say?"
"It will definitely increase, but by how much is hard to say. I'll be back soon. My father, uncle, and Xiaochuan are still waiting for me in the southwest. I came here because of you. I'm relieved to see that you're okay now."
Ji Mingxue was very satisfied with the result: "Don't worry, I will definitely not embarrass you! I will ask for leave and go home after I finish this matter."
"That's good. I don't know how worried I was when you left. You should go back and apologize."
Lieutenant Yang and the others were called back into the house, but a few members of the Gale Squad stayed behind to stare at Duan Yunzheng and Ji Mingxue.
"Let's not talk about family matters for now. Now that you've heard these fatal words about King Xuan, please be careful and don't get involved."
"We are just ordinary people. We can't control this matter. I will be careful not to take sides."
Ji Mingxue is not a fool. Now that there is such a big problem within Tieling Guard, it is hard to say what will happen in the future!
He is not determined to stay in Tielingwei.
As for the news you heard, just play dumb.
After thinking about his second brother for a while, Ji Changying felt relieved.
Her second brother is not a fool, he is very smart!
"Lin Zhi, I'll leave my brother to you. I'm leaving now." Ji Changying turned around and glanced at Lin Zhi who was staring at someone, then greeted him with a smile.
Lin Zhi, who had been wearing a serious expression, beamed when he heard her words: "Oh my! How can I let you go back alone? I'll have someone get a carriage to escort you!"
Miss Ji did them a big favor after all, it would be embarrassing to let her go back like this. Why does the prince seem so stupid?
"No, I can run faster than a carriage."
The corner of Lin Zhi's mouth twitched as he watched Ji Changying tiptoe and whoosh away several meters away.
·····
Xu Yong and Ma Ankang swallowed hard and nudged Ji Mingxue beside them: "Your sister is truly amazing. How come you haven't learned anything from her?"
Ji Mingxue sneered, "We still sleep in the same bunk every day! Why haven't you learned a little bit from me?"
····
The streets after the war were filled with people. The sounds of crying, cursing, and tears of joy were intertwined and were quickly forgotten by Ji Changying.
It didn't take her long to rush back to the Liangzhou Guard's headquarters. The battlefield over there was being cleaned up. Captain Kou was garrisoning here with his troops, and the streets were full of patrolling soldiers.
With the badge given by Zhonglizhou, she entered the station unimpeded and found Ji Changchuan who was washing a horse with others.
"Where's Dad?"
Ji Changying suddenly spoke, startling Ji Changchuan.
When he saw who it was, a look of surprise flashed across his face. "You're back? I heard the fighting was fierce over there. How are you? Did you find your second brother?"
"Second brother has made a great contribution this time, but the situation over there has not been resolved yet, so he can't move around for the time being."
Ji Changchuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then uncle should be relieved too."
"Where are Dad and the others?"
"I was called away to burn the bodies in a mass grave."
There were corpses of people infected with the plague outside. None of them were brought back this time. They were all taken to mass graves and burned.
Ji Changchuan also helped to the best of his ability, brushing off the blood stains on the war horses.
After one night, not only were Wei Ying and the others left behind to help, but some of the Red Sleeves Army and the garrison troops under Liangzhou were also transferred here.
This time, almost all the troops from the entire border were mobilized, intending to defeat these foreign tribes and turn them into turtles in one fell swoop.
After a night's rest, Ji Fengshou and the others still didn't come back. After asking them, I learned that after they dealt with the corpses on the battlefield, they needed to drink medicine in a straw hut outside the pass and stay there for two days to make sure everything was fine before they could come back.
Worried that the people at home would be waiting anxiously, Ji Changying decided to take Ji Changchuan back alone early in the morning.
Seeing the defense line getting farther and farther away from their sight, Ji Changchuan retracted his gaze: "When do you think Dad and Uncle can come home?"
Ji Changying shook her head: "Who knows!"
It's obvious that the battle line this time is very long.
When the two returned to Ji's house, they found that it was extremely lively and many villagers were standing at the door looking inside.
Ji Changchuan couldn't sit still any longer. He jumped out of the car and grabbed Aunt Li next to him: "Auntie, what happened to my family?"
Aunt Li was feeling unhappy about being pulled away, but when she turned around and saw that it was Ji Changchuan and his sister, she shouted in surprise, "Make way! Ah Ying and Xiao Chuan are back!"
"First, tell me what you are doing?"
Ji Changchuan held the old lady tightly.
"Oh my! You don't know. Yesterday, County Magistrate Zhang came to our village chief to talk about planting some beans... some beans. Anyway, the meaning is that we all have to listen to your sister. Unfortunately, your sister is not at home. The village chief is so anxious that he came to ask several times a day if you have returned!"
