Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was the night before the expedition.
Ji Chenhai, Ji Fengming, and Hei Xiao came to collect the medicine as agreed. They saw that Ji Fengyao had prepared three piles of equal weight of medicinal powder, pills, and liquid, each pile containing hundreds of different kinds and weighing over a hundred kilograms.
The three of them were collectively speechless.
"Little sister, aren't you going a bit too far?" Ji Fengming twitched his lips.
Does this mean they should mix the medicine with their food and eat it?
"I've already made it very simple, considering that you'll need to bring other daily necessities and food. Once you get to the battlefield, you'll know what it means to regret not having enough medicine when you need it. You'll all have to use it sparingly then," Ji Fengyao said, picking up each medicine and carefully explaining its function and usage to them.
Finally, Ji Fengyao quietly pulled Ji Fengming aside and whispered to him, "Brother, although Hei Xiao seems to be more skilled in martial arts than you and Father, you should try to prevent him from engaging in intense fights. His dantian is injured, so his spiritual energy is consumed faster than that of ordinary people and replenished more slowly. If he overdraws his energy, he is likely to be in danger and his injuries will worsen."
"His dantian injury..." A cryptic, dark glint flashed in Ji Fengming's eyes.
"Don't ask about that. In short, since you've got him hooked, you have to protect him and make sure nothing happens to him, or I won't be nice to you anymore," Ji Fengyao threatened softly.
Ji Fengming, however, was easily swayed by his sister's weak threat and said urgently, "No, no, no, brother will definitely protect him for you. Isn't his spiritual energy replenishment slow? Brother will have people hurry up and find the Moonstone. Once we find it, I'll absorb half of it myself and give him the other half to help heal his injuries. Is that alright?"
“That’s fine. It’s good to let him recover from the injury to his dantian as soon as possible, otherwise I will always feel uneasy,” Ji Fengyao nodded.
On the other side.
Shang Xiye took out the dark jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to Hei Xiao: "Take the Ghost Mask with you, but the Ghost Mask is easily excited on the battlefield. You must be careful that it doesn't go too deep into the enemy's territory, otherwise it will put you in a dangerous situation of isolation and helplessness."
"I told you, I'm not going to fight, what would I do with it?" Black Owl said lazily.
He appeared indifferent or even unconcerned on the surface, but warmth shone in his eyes.
The Ninth Prince's warhorse is never to be touched by anyone other than him and Xiao Yao'er.
"Consider it helping Fengming stabilize the morale of his troops. The soldiers at the border all recognize it as my war steed. If you really encounter danger, you'll have a better chance of rescuing people with it," Shang Xiye said, stuffing the jade pendant and half of the beast talisman into Hei Xiao's hand.
Black Owl was startled when he saw the half-beast talisman and almost threw it away: "Little Nine, what are you doing giving it to me!"
"Just in case, if someone incites the border soldiers to disobey the orders of Marquis Anping and his son, you will use this military tally to take charge. Border wars are no child's play, and the most taboo thing is the infighting that happens in the capital. I know you are unwilling to do these things, but your skills are the best among the three of you. This military tally is extremely important to me and to the Great Zhao. Only when it is in your hands can I feel at ease." Shang Xiye's gaze was firm and clear.
He trusted Black Owl as much as he trusted himself.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll use it to command your people and then turn around and destroy the Great Zhao?" Black Owl put away the jade pendant and beast talisman, his tone nonchalant and unserious.
"You can try stepping over my dead body," Shang Xiye replied lightly.
"Sigh, what can I say about you? You'd rather enjoy your own carefree life than protect a bunch of heartless bastards," Hei Xiao shook his head and left the Ninth Prince's Mansion with Ji Fengming and his son.
