Why mess with her? Even the emperor has to pamper her.

After marching for several days, the army gradually approached Jizhou, and Xie Xin became more cautious.

In the evening, the army came to a river.

Because Emperor Tianqi had instructed that where to set up camp, where to rest, when to set off, and which route to take were all decided by Yun Chuwei, so Xie Xin would come to Yun Chuwei almost every time before setting up camp.

Every time Xie Sheng saw Xie Xin going to find Yun Chuwei, he would bring Yun Lianhua with him.

When Xie Xin saw Yun Chuwei, he asked directly: "I see there is a water source here, how about we set up camp here today?"

Yun Chuwei nodded and said, "Okay!"

Xie Xin continued to ask: "Where do you think is a good place to camp?"

Yun Chuwei got off the carriage and his eyes gradually swept across the river and hillside in the distance.

At this time, Xie Sheng sneered and said, "Do you still need to ask her? There is a large piece of flat ground over there, close to the water source, and the location is relatively high, so there is no need to worry about flooding, and the view is good! We can just set up camp there."

Xie Xin didn't say anything, just looked at Yun Chuwei.

Yun Chuwei said, "Let's cross the river first and set up camp there, in that open area with a slight slope!"

After hearing what Yun Chuwei said, Xie Sheng's face turned ugly: "Yun Chuwei, are you crazy? Setting up camp there, close to the mountain gate, what if the enemy attacks?"

Yun Chu turned his head slightly to look at Xie Xin and asked, "Can it be solved?"

Xie Xin said calmly: "I will have people occupy the high ground of the mountain. If there is any abnormality, please report it at any time."

Xie Sheng said unhappily, "The Art of War says that if you cross a river, you must stay away from it. If you don't move forward after crossing the river and set up camp there, aren't you just waiting to die?"

Xie Xin glanced at Xie Sheng, his face a little gloomy: "Your Highness is really familiar with military books, but didn't Your Highness notice that the downstream is empty and the river flows southwest. If you want to evacuate, just go downstream. What is there to worry about?"

After Xie Xin finished speaking, he instructed the deputy general beside him: "Pass the order down, cross the river and set up camp!"

After the deputy general agreed, he immediately went to pass the order.

Xie Sheng's face turned pale and blue, and he said, "I will not cross the river today. I will set up camp here."

Xie Xin glanced at Xie Sheng and said unhappily: "Whatever you say!"

After saying this, she jumped on her horse and crossed the river.

Yun Chuwei also returned to the carriage.

Xie Sheng said coldly towards Yun Chuwei's carriage: "We are now close to Jizhou, and the army may be ambushed at any time. If we are ambushed today and suffer losses, I will definitely report you!"

Yun Chuwei sat in the carriage, too lazy to pay attention to Xie Sheng, and directly asked someone to drive the carriage across the river.

Xie Sheng naturally did not cross the river. He chose a place he liked to set up camp.

Yun Lianhua stayed beside Xie Sheng, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Your Highness, my sister insisted on crossing the river and setting up camp. Is there any reason? I heard that she can observe the celestial phenomena and tell fortunes!"

Xie Sheng reached out and gently patted Yun Lianhua's hand, comforting her: "Don't worry, I chose the best place. This is high ground, close to water, and flat. There is no better place to camp than here. The place chosen by Yun Chuwei is not bad, but if there is an enemy attack, there will be heavy losses."

Yun Lianhua felt relieved after hearing this.

"Your Highness is still more powerful!"

"Of course, Yun Chuwei has long hair but little knowledge!" Xie Sheng said contemptuously as he looked at the troops that were setting up camp on the opposite bank.

He hoped that the army would be attacked tonight so that he could watch the show!

Thinking of this, he called his men.

"Send a few people to the north. If they encounter rebel scouts, tell them the location of Xie Xin's camp."

After hearing this, the subordinate immediately agreed and left quickly.

-

After Xie Xin arranged everything, he returned to the campfire and sat next to Yun Chuwei.

She whispered, "We are already close to Jizhou and could encounter the enemy at any time. If we are attacked tonight, don't panic. I have already arranged a plan for fighting and evacuating. You just need to evacuate downstream first!"

Yun Chuwei nodded slightly, and then she said to Xie Xin: "From today on, let Jiang Wanqiu follow you!"

Xie Xin was very surprised and immediately refused: "No! He is the imperial physician sent to you by your father, and he must follow you!"

Before leaving for the battle, her father had instructed her to bring Yun Chuwei back safely.

The emperor’s meaning was very clear: all the people she brought with her combined were not as good as Yun Chuwei.

In other words, in her father's eyes, neither she nor the prince were as important as Yun Chuwei.

Others can have problems, but Yun Chuwei can’t.

Yun Chuwei also knew that Xie Xin was worried about her safety, so she smiled and said, "I have reasons why I must let him follow you. If Your Highness Princess is worried about my safety, there is no need to worry. I will not put myself in danger!"

Huo Qingjue, who was standing by, also knew the reason why Yun Chuwei asked Jiang Wanqiu to follow Xie Xin, so he said, "Your Highness, I will protect Miss Yun and will not let her be in any danger. Moreover, if you need Jiang Wanqiu, it will be the same if you ask him to come back!"

Jiang Wanqiu also expressed his serious attitude: "I can take care of both! I guarantee that there won't be any mistakes!"

Jiang Wanqiu thought about it seriously and realized that Yun Chuwei was right. If he wanted to marry Cui Pingting openly, he would need military merit.

But he was just an imperial physician. It was very difficult for him to achieve military merit.

Luck, timing and ability are all essential.

Logically speaking, he is not capable enough now, at least not 100% sure.

However, the time has come. Moreover, this may be the only chance in his life.

If he gave up, he might never meet a noble person like Yun Chuwei again in his life.

He didn't know what the result would be if he tried.

But he knew that if he gave up this opportunity, he would definitely regret it!

Seeing that the three of them were insisting, Xie Xin didn't say anything else.

She said to Jiang Wanqiu, "Then follow me. But I have something to tell you."

Jiang Wanqiu lowered her eyes and said respectfully, "Princess, please speak!"

Xie Xin said seriously: "Yun Chuwei is very important. If anything happens to her, even if we win, we will definitely be punished by His Majesty!"

Jiang Wanqiu nodded: "I know what to do, Your Highness, please rest assured."

After hearing this, Xie Xin nodded with great satisfaction.

Then, Xie Xin stood up and said to Yun Chuwei, "I'll go check on the outer sentries."

Yun Chuwei nodded slightly, and then reminded: "Tell the soldiers on guard to keep warm and avoid rain."

Xie Xin was a little surprised: "Will it rain tonight?"

Yun Chu nodded slightly: "Heavy rain!"

Although Xie Xin didn't quite believe it, he still followed Yun Chuwei's instructions and provided more cotton clothes and rain gear to the soldiers on guard.

Sure enough, late at night, the weather changed suddenly.
