On the way back, Ningdong looked at Chu Yue with a distressed face.
"Miss, I've been here for half a month and see how thin you have become. When I go back, I'm afraid the lady will scold me for not taking good care of you."
"It's okay. After all, we can't go back for a while. When we get home, it will naturally grow back."
Chu Yue smiled, then turned her head to look out the car window at the vast wilderness. In the distance, the orange-red sunset was about to set, with only half of it still exposed, which looked extremely spectacular.
The thin and slightly sunken eyes were full of longing.
It would be great if my husband was by my side.
Since I received a letter from my husband at the end of last year, I haven’t seen a letter from him this year. I don’t know if everything is well with him?
I used to get letters every month.
She had been busy for so many days and had not had a good rest. Thinking about it, she suddenly felt sleepy. She yawned and fell asleep leaning on the carriage.
Upon seeing this, Ningdong immediately sat down next to Chu Yue, carefully supporting her head and resting it on his shoulder, to prevent Chu Yue from falling, and firmly protecting her with his hands.
These days, I have been treating the injuries of those soldiers day and night. Not to mention the young lady who has worked so hard, even she herself is tired just looking at it.
You have to let the lady take a good rest.
…
Three days later, the carriage stopped outside Yongzhou City.
After changing into his carriage, as soon as he entered Yongzhou City, he saw a man in military uniform coming forward.
"Mr. Chu Xiang, the Governor told me before that if you return to Yongzhou City, you should first go to the Governor's Mansion."
Chu Yue looked at the man in front of her, "Going to the Governor's Mansion? Can you tell me why?"
"I don't know." The man shook his head.
Chu Yue nodded slightly, "I wonder what you call the general?"
The man in front of her looked obviously different from the soldiers guarding the city, and when she went to the Governor's Mansion, she had to have an introduction, and she couldn't simply go there.
"Yongzhou City City Guards Lieutenant General, Su Changxin." Su Changxin said, cupping his fists towards Chu Yue.
Chu Yue nodded, "It turns out to be Vice General Su. Since the Governor specially asked Vice General Su to give me a message here, I will go to the Governor's Mansion and say goodbye."
"Chu Xiangjun, walk slowly."
Looking at the carriage going away, Su Changxin's eyes flashed with slight surprise.
This time, it was such a young woman who relieved the poisonous smoke from the Western Regions on the battlefield. She was really beyond appearances.
It seemed that the old man knew his apprentice's abilities, otherwise he would not have said such words before.
Chu Yue's carriage stopped at the governor's mansion. After Ningdong reported his name to the concierge, the concierge asked the two of them to wait before heading into the mansion.
After a moment, he returned to the two of them and made a respectful gesture toward the house to invite them.
"Mr. Chu Xiang, please come in."
Chu Yue nodded and followed the concierge's guidance into the Governor's Mansion with doubts.
As soon as he came in, he saw an old man laughing and trotting towards his direction. He was wondering where this crazy old man came from, but when he looked closely, he looked familiar.
Take another look, isn't this my master?
Chu Yue opened her mouth slightly in surprise.
"Master? Why are you here?"
I really didn't expect Zhang Zheng to be here, otherwise I wouldn't have subconsciously thought it was some crazy old man running towards me at first. The key point is that the clothes the master is wearing now are different from those in the past.
"Master, where did you get these clothes from?"
Zhang Zheng crossed his arms.
"Isn't that bastard Su Changxin, who had to kidnap me to Yongzhou City under Zhang Puhe's orders? As a result, as soon as I arrived, you detoxified me from the poison on the battlefield. Don't you think it was a waste of time for me?"
After he finished speaking, he hummed twice.
Zhang Puhe, who was following behind, saw Zhang Zheng's dissatisfied look on his face and his brows knitted together.
They say imps are difficult to deal with, but this old man is even more difficult than the imps.
Recently, he has been either playing chess or asking everyone in the house to find ingredients for him to make food. When he has nothing to do, he will go fishing in the house with a fishing rod. He has watched the koi carps in the fish pond being harmed by him one after another. Ichijo rolled his eyes, turned around, and didn't know what method he used to cure him.
The most outrageous thing is that he even snatched food from the children. The children in Yogyakarta cried loudly and the noise gave him a headache.
His only grandson is less than two years old!
During this period of time, he was doing all kinds of things, and the whole house was filled with chaos caused by him.
If he had known that Chu Yue could detoxify the poisonous smoke from the Western Regions, he would not have brought this old man to the house.
Now he's fine. It's easy to ask God but hard to send him away, but he's worried to death.
I don’t know if Chu Yue has any way to tell this old man to get out.
Zhang Puhe cupped his fists towards Chu Yue with a well-placed smile on his face.
"Thanks to Dr. Chu, the poisonous smoke on the western battlefield can be resolved this time. At that time, I will report the situation here in detail. I also asked Mr. Chu Xiang to stay in Yongzhou for a while. I want to come to the imperial court very soon. Something will be said soon.”
In fact, he had other purposes for letting Chu Yue stay in Yongzhou City. If the battlefield situation changed again, it would be relatively easy to find Chu Yue.
Chu Yue nodded slightly.
"Master Zhang is polite. When we left the camp before, we agreed with Doctor Shi that we would not leave Yongzhou City in the near future. As a member of the Nanyuan Kingdom, it is my honor to be able to relieve the crisis on the battlefield. I don't expect anything else."
Although the woman in front of her had made meritorious deeds, she did not ask for any reward. She was neither humble nor arrogant, which made Zhang Puhe very fond of her.
It has to be said that although Zhang Zheng, an old man, is unconventional, he does have a good eye for finding disciples.
Zhang Puhe pretended to cough a little embarrassedly.
"Actually, before I found Mr. Chu Xiang, I had already sent people to Nanping Town to ask Dr. Zhang to come out. Unexpectedly, as soon as Dr. Zhang arrived in Yongzhou City, he received the news that Mr. Chu Xiang had prepared the antidote. Dr. Chu saw that ..." Can you get this old man away?
Of course, he didn't finish the last sentence.
But when he was talking, he looked in the direction of Zhang Zheng a few times, and then looked at Chu Yue with a troubled expression.
Chu Yue has been practicing medicine and treating diseases in the past few years and has come into contact with many people. She can obviously tell what Zhang Puhe is thinking.
She couldn't help but find it a little funny.
Master, this old naughty boy, has probably tormented Master Zhang quite a lot in the past few days.
Chu Yue held Zhang Zheng's arm with curved eyebrows.
"Master, you have been out for a while. When do you plan to go home?"
The little girl's voice was soft and sweet, which made the old man feel very happy.
But when he thought of Zhang Puhe asking Su Changxin to kidnap him, he hadn't gone through enough trouble yet. Thinking of this, he suppressed the joy in his heart and his face returned to seriousness.
"I won't go back. It's so nice here. The governor can get me whatever you want to eat, especially the snacks in the hands of his grandson. They are very exquisite."
Zhang Puhe's forehead twitched and he raised his hand to support his forehead.
This stubborn old man is not ashamed to take food from children, but he has the nerve to mention it.
But Chu Yue knew that there must be a reason why the master specifically brought this up.
"It's not difficult to understand what Master said. Judging from the governor's age, he certainly doesn't have many grandchildren. Of course, he is well-raised at home."
As soon as Zhang Zheng heard Chu Yue's words, he knew that this girl had realized what he meant.
What a teachable kid.
When he looks at Chu Yue now, he likes it no matter how he looks at it.
But when he glanced at Zhang Puhe, his face immediately changed, "Huh, he is indeed well-raised. No wonder that child gets sick every now and then."
