Chapter 436: General Zhang is so imposing!

~6 min read 1,191 words

Jiang Yunchu turned back, looked at this pavilion, looked at the place where she had lived for ten days, and lightly hooked the corner of her mouth.

She mounted her horse and left.

"Princess, won't you see her off?" the maid beside Xifeng, watching the person departing, asked, not understanding.

Clearly the princess cares, and cares deeply.

Clearly she hadn't slept all night, had prepared everything, then kept watch here; her clothes were already soaked with dew, yet she never showed up.

Xifeng shook her head, "No need to see her off; I've seen her off, she'll have ties."

Not seeing her off, in this lifetime we can still meet.

The maid didn't understand, but also didn't ask.

In Jiang Yunchu's space, there were other documents; she used Xifeng's, also used others; along the way, every city she passed through left no trace of her.

"Take out the documents."

Jiang Yunchu, alone with her horse, arrived at Border City; the guards there began to check them one by one.

Aside from a horse and a few ingots of scattered silver, she had nothing, and quickly left Xijiang.

Xijiang...

Jiang Yunchu touched that vine, then spurred her horse forward.

"Who?" Outside the Jiang Family Army camp, Jiang Yunchu was stopped by someone.

"The token is here." Jiang Yunchu took out the Jiang Family Army's token from her bosom; those people inspected it, then said, "Please wait."

Jiang Yunchu frowned, wondering what had happened.

That soldier quickly ran out, and following him came a second aunt in armor, "Yun chu."

"Second aunt, what happened?"

"The general may not make it." Jiang Fengsheng looked worried; these days, they had divided their troops into three routes, she controlled the general's big tent, the children were gathering information, Yun chu went to Xijiang to look for medicinal herbs.

The situation of the Jiang Family Army was worse than she had anticipated.

Those who had infiltrated Xijiang, those who had been bribed, in these days they had secretly dealt with not a few.

"Let's go."

Jiang Yunchu hurried; the urgent matter now was to check General Jiang's condition, then feed him the medicine.

Jiang Fengsheng brought her straight to the general's big tent, but at the tent's gate they were stopped by some people.

"Uncle Zhang, what do you mean?" Jiang Fengsheng narrowed his eyes.

The man called Uncle Zhang chuckled lightly, "Fengsheng, you're a mother now, stop fooling around!"

"The general's situation is critical; can just anyone enter the big tent? Perhaps it's a Xijiang spy coming to take the general's life."

"You're over thirty; you should be steady, not act like a childish brat as you did when you were young, you know?"

The man seemed to be giving careful instruction, with an expression of "I'm doing this for your own good."

Yet openly and secretly, all the blame was placed on Jiang Fengsheng's shoulders.

Using her youth and her childhood mischievousness as an excuse, they instructed her in the manner of an elder.

"Heh——"

Jiang Fengsheng didn't speak, but a burst of laughter made everyone's gaze turn to his back.

That was a young man in black clothes, his attire black as ink, a black hairband holding his hair high, his whole bearing that of a flirtatious young lord.

"Ignorant child, this barracks—is this a place you can come to?"

That General Zhang glared with anger, completely unlike how he had just been instructing Jiang Fengsheng.

Jiang Yunchu merely smiled, then with a "pa" sound opened a fan.

"You are an idiot."

Four large characters lit up brightly just like that.

And that young man, with a light smile, looked at General Zhang and said, "Do you know how to read?"

One slap wasn't enough; pa-pa, he slapped twice, favoring even numbers.

"Ignorant child, you're courting death."

"I suspect this person is a Xijiang spy; seize him!" General Zhang pointed at Jiang Yunchu, his face already black as pitch, no trace of the earlier feigned gentleness.

"Pa-pa-pa!"

A round of applause came from behind Jiang Yunchu; each little one wore a light smile, just like their dean's expression.

"General Zhang is so imposing!"

"Should we suspect that I, the Second Young Master of the Yong Bo Marquis Manor, am also a spy?" Zhang Cunwen snorted coldly; although he had left the manor, these people didn't know, using the Yong Bo Marquis Manor's name to intimidate still works—no need to waste it.

"No, no, no; should we suspect that the grandson of General Han is a spy?" Han Wen Jun smiled sincerely, but his gaze at General Zhang was cold.

"This damned fool, daring to move against the dean."

General Zhang snorted coldly, "Young Master Zhang and Young Master Han are overthinking; you're young and can't tell good from bad."

"I have guarded the border pass for many years; naturally it's not something the two Young Masters can discern."

Jiang Yunchu raised her eyebrows; interesting, too interesting.

"Oh? Is that so?" At that moment, a youth in black robes stepped forward and stood opposite General Zhang, saying, "General Zhang has guarded the border pass for many years; his eyes are like an eagle's, keen and sharp."

Phrase after phrase continually praised Vice General Zhang.

However, no one interjected; this is the little ones' tacit understanding—when anyone speaks, they never interrupt.

Jiang Yunchu lightly fanned with the fan, merely moving the hand behind her back slightly.

Those wide black sleeves blocked her hand's white porcelain bottle.

Kang Zi Wei seemed unable to stand, took a step forward, but that porcelain bottle had already changed position.

A few little ones, very much in sync, moved their bodies, blocking the view from all directions; they had long been lurking in the barracks, appearing to laugh along with everyone.

And who would be on guard against people like them?

Kang Zi Wei suddenly swayed, "Second Aunt, I feel dizzy."

Although Jiang Fengsheng was somewhat doubtful, he still looked toward Kang Zi Wei, seeing the child's pale face; he himself was as weak as a little white flower, his eyes filled with forbearance and tears.

"General Zhang, even the chief general, you also want to block?"

Jiang Fengsheng directly picked up Kang Zi Wei and strode forward, "I'm taking my niece to the main tent to rest; I see, who dares to stop?"

She held Kang Zi Wei, like a child going into battle, step by step, striding forward; the soldiers who had drawn their swords to block the road retreated step by step.

Jiang Fengsheng thus entered the main tent.

Kang Zi Wei immediately jumped down, then opened the white porcelain bottle; inside was a pill.

She quickly put the pill into General Jiang's mouth; Jiang Fengsheng watched Zi Wei busily and asked, "What is this?"

"I don't know."

"It's just that the dean secretly gave it to me; now the situation is urgent, outsiders are buying time." Kang Zi Wei's complexion was poor, she gently rubbed her brow.

The life-saving pill inside the main tent had already been taken; Jiang Yunchu instead fanned himself with a fan, no longer in a hurry, just watching the excitement.

Pretty good!
