Lu Yufang, who was originally full of emotion, was amused by Chu Yue's relaxed words.
"Okay, okay, just feel free to visit the branch. I will definitely help you take care of the matters in the hospital."
Even if Chu Yue is not here, Doctor Zhang is still here. Xingyue Medical Clinic is now the only one in Nanping Town, so there won't be any big problems on weekdays.
If there is anything difficult, Dr. Zhang can definitely solve it.
Lu Yufang still has absolute confidence in this point.
…
After taking Chen Shi and Wu Xiuwen to analyze the cases at Xingyue Medical Center for a month until they were relieved that they could treat patients alone, Chu Yue and Lu Xingping and Lu Xingan took a carriage to Tongzhi County.
Because there were so many people, and because she had to go to several places this time, the carriage at home was useful, Chu Yue bought another carriage alone.
She and Ningdong were riding in the newly purchased carriage, driven by Heimu.
Lu Xingping, Lu Xingan and Aunt Song were sitting in another carriage, and the driver was Jiang Wan.
Aunt Song went to the county town with the brothers, mainly to take care of their daily life. After all, she was worried about finding someone temporarily.
The Tongsheng test started two days later. Since Jiang Huan had a residence in the county, Chu Yue directly rented his yard here and asked Jiang Huan to stay here for a few days. Having a carriage would make it easier for the two brothers to travel.
After arranging everything in the county, Chu Yue said goodbye to the two brothers.
"Xingpingxing'an, have a good time in the children's examination. I hope to hear good news from you when I come back."
Lu Xingping scratched his head irritably.
"Sister-in-law, it's not like you don't know me. It's strange that I can pass the Tongsheng Examination, but Lu Xing'an still drags me to make a fool of myself."
Chu Yue pursed her lips and smiled, her voice gentle.
"It doesn't matter if you don't pass. The purpose of asking you to study is just to make you literate and knowledgeable. It's good to be on the gold list, but if you don't have this talent, it's useless to force it. I think Xingping can give it a try later. The martial arts test in August.”
After hearing Chu Yue's words, Lu Xingping felt that the pressure in his heart was instantly relieved. Then when he heard her last words, Lu Xingping's eyes lit up.
"Martial arts test?!"
Chu Yue nodded, stepped forward and patted his still immature shoulder.
"It's still a long time until August. Let's do the things in front of us first and take the Tongsheng Examination. With your current ability, it won't be too difficult for you to take the Martial Arts Examination."
Lu Xingping nodded seriously, with a look of reluctance on his face.
"Sister-in-law, you must be careful when you go out."
Chu Yue smiled lightly, "I will."
Lu Xingan also stepped forward.
"Sister-in-law, take care of yourself." He then looked at Heimu and Ningdong and told him, "I will ask you to take care of my sister-in-law."
Kuroki held the sword in both hands, with a cold expression and said nothing.
Ningdong, on the other hand, turned slightly towards the two of them and said, "You two gentlemen, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the young lady."
After saying that, he helped Chu Yue get into the carriage.
The Lu Xingping brothers watched Chu Yue's carriage completely out of sight before turning back to the courtyard.
Chu Yue sat on the carriage, looking at the scenery passing by quickly outside the carriage. Thinking of Lu Xinghe when he was still here, a trace of nostalgia flashed on his face.
We haven’t seen each other for ten months.
Ningdong lifted the car curtain and looked out, then looked at Chu Yue.
"Miss, are we really going to Yongzhou on our first trip? I heard that the war in the west is tense now."
Yongzhou has a vast land and rich resources, bordering Yuezhou to the east and surrounded by mountains to the west. It is the strongest western defense line of Nanyuan Kingdom. Last year, the war started there.
Chu Yue looked calm.
"What's there to be afraid of? Yongzhou City is still three to five days away from the battlefield. Right now, my cousin is leading people to open a branch in Yongzhou, and we just want to go over there and have a look."
Hearing this, Ningdong also calmed down.
The young lady also learned some skills in getting close to the big ice cube on weekdays, and with her and the big ice cube on the side, the three of them drove easily and easily, so they probably wouldn't attract too much attention.
…
Seven days later, the carriage stopped in front of Yongzhou City.
Chu Yue got off the carriage and looked up. In front of her was the majestic and tall city wall. The oncoming ancient atmosphere shocked her heart.
Ningdong looked around with a pair of curious eyes, unable to hide his excitement on his face.
"Miss, we have arrived at Yongzhou City! The city wall is so high, much higher than that of Yuezhou."
Chu Yue hummed.
"Let's go to the city first."
Just as she was about to leave, the excitement at the city gate attracted her attention.
A group of people were discussing around the poster posted on the city wall.
"It's been three days, why hasn't anyone revealed the list yet?"
"If this continues, aren't we all in danger? How about we leave Yongzhou as soon as possible?"
"Don't be alarmist. Maybe it's not as serious as we think."
…
Chu Yue slowed down her pace and listened carefully to the topics discussed there as she walked forward. After roughly knowing the whole story, she speeded up and entered Yongzhou City.
The streets in Yongzhou City are much wider than those in Yuezhou, and the shops on both sides are relatively large. Whether it is the city walls or the houses, the wall thickness is much thicker.
After asking for directions, the three of them went straight to the branch shop.
"Heimu, after arriving at the branch, you can go to a nearby inn first. Our horse has been running for most of the day. It's time to get it some food and rest." Chu Yue ordered.
Kuroki nodded.
"good."
Ningdong looked at Chu Yue, "How long do you plan to stay in Yongzhou, Miss?"
There was no expression on Chu Yue's face.
"I don't know, it depends."
If there were no other circumstances, she would be able to leave after two or three days, but she had just heard the content of the notice posted outside the city, and she was really interested.
Ningdong blinked. Chu Yue heard the news outside the city just now, and she naturally heard it too.
"Young lady, you don't still want to go to the battlefield, do you?"
Based on her understanding of Chu Yue, Ningdong felt that she might have this idea.
Chu Yue pondered for a moment.
"That's not impossible."
Ningdong frowned, "Miss! As a woman, it is very dangerous for you to go to the battlefield!"
Chu Yue glanced at her.
"You don't need me to fight, so what are you afraid of? Besides, there is a country first, and then a family. If the content on the list is true, the war in the west will probably drag on even longer, and there will be countless casualties and suffering. We are still ordinary people, if the countries in the Western Region break through the defense line..." She said, looking at Heimu, "If no one reveals the list later, you can help me uncover it."
She didn't want to stand out, but she also knew that it would be difficult to post it as a list.
It would have been okay if she hadn't met him, but now that she had met him, she wanted to take a look.
When it gets dark, if no one reveals the list, she will go!
Kuroki looked at the girl's determined expression, and a hint of appreciation flashed across his originally stern face.
In his impression, she loves money, is scheming, smart, kind, and can fight back decisively when encountering bad people.
After hearing what she said just now, he realized that she also had righteousness in her heart.
This is what makes her different from others and also her charm.
It seemed that from now on, Heimu truly recognized Chu Yue from his heart.
"yes!"
Seeing Heimu nodding, Chu Yue continued walking forward.
Just as he arrived at the entrance of Hongyan Pavilion, he saw a middle-aged man getting off a carriage not far away and heading straight for Chu Yue.
"Excuse me, is this lady the Lord of Chu Yue and Chu Xiang?"
