The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Jiang Li and Shi Liu hid in the dark and observed. They came out only after everyone had left. The expressions on their faces made Shi Liu feel that the young lady was in a good mood.

"Miss, your idea of ​​attracting trouble to the east is really great!" Shi Liu said happily.

"Nonsense, I am a kind-hearted lady. I want them to be together forever!" Jiang Li scolded Shi Liu in a light tone.

"Yes, yes, our young lady is the kindest." Shi Liu also echoed.

"Let's go back to the hall to find mother." The master and servant returned to the hall together.

At this time, the Spring Banquet in the hall was coming to an end, and the eldest princess had already left. However, except for the third prince who was outside, the other two princes also left one after another.

"Mother." Jiang Li sat down next to his mother again.

"Look at you, kid. You're sweating all over from running." Xie Lan took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Jiang Li's forehead.

"Mother, let's go back quickly!" Jiang Li said with a smile. Jiang Li wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. After all, she didn't want to meet Princess Zhaoyang. They often quarreled because of the third prince.

"What's wrong? Are you tired?" Xie Lan asked in a low voice.

"Princess Zhaoyang is here, and she's with the Third Prince right now!" Jiang Li didn't hide it from his mother. Xie Lan nodded after hearing it.

Jiang Li looked at the three aunts of the Xie family again, and the three aunts also understood, and then they left the Grand Princess's Mansion.

At this time, several dusty people finally arrived at the border town in the northern border. Their faces were filled with fatigue, but their eyes were shining with determination.

"The prince is back! The prince is back!" The moment Mu Jiuchen stepped into the military camp, the soldiers shouted excitedly. The cheers surged into their hearts like a tide, as if to drown the entire border town. The soldiers gathered around, with ecstatic expressions on their faces. Their eyes were full of respect and expectation for the prince, as if he was the hope and salvation of this land.

Mu Jiuchen waved to everyone, and his presence made them feel extremely relieved. His tall and straight figure, resolute face and deep eyes all showed an unparalleled majesty and charm.

Mu Jiuchen walked into the tent and sat on the tiger-skin chair. He felt particularly heavy-hearted. He knew that he had a heavy responsibility and had to resolve the crisis in the northern border as soon as possible. At this moment, a noise came from outside the tent. Mu Jiuchen looked up and saw several men in armor walking in.

"Greetings, Lord Regent!" Several generals also came forward to pay their respects. They knelt on the ground in unison, their expressions serious and solemn.

Mu Jiuchen stood up and walked slowly to the center of the tent. His steps were steady and his eyes were firm, as if every step he took carried an unshakable determination and strength. He glanced at the generals present, and his voice was low and powerful: "Generals, thank you for your hard work! Thank you for guarding the northern border while I was away."

After Mu Jiuchen motioned for everyone to sit down, he continued, "Please sit down and tell me about your recent situation."

General Zhang spoke first, his expression serious and his tone heavy: "Your Highness, there are some new faces in the city recently. We sent people to observe them secretly. They seem to be some traveling merchants, but their whereabouts are quite suspicious."

Mu Jiuchen frowned, thought for a moment and then asked, "Are these traveling merchants connected with the enemy country? Is there any evidence that they are spies?"

General Zhang shook his head and said, "There is no conclusive evidence to prove that they are spies, but we cannot let our guard down. We have sent people to closely monitor their every move."

Mu Jiuchen nodded, indicating his approval of General Zhang's approach. He then turned to look at Jiang Ying and asked, "Is there anything unusual in the barracks?"

Jiang Ying stood up and replied respectfully, "Your Highness, the military doctor recently reported that there is a shortage of medicines."

Mu Jiuchen was shocked when he heard this, and immediately asked, "Not enough medicine? Why? I remember that before I left, there was enough food and medicine."

Jiang Ying lowered his head and thought for a moment, then replied: "The weather has been changeable recently, and many soldiers in the barracks have caught a cold, resulting in a large consumption of medicines."

Mu Jiuchen frowned slightly and asked, "How many people are currently infected with the cold?"

Jiang Ying hesitated for a moment and answered truthfully: "Nearly 300 people have been infected with the cold, and the number is still increasing."

After hearing this, Mu Jiuchen's face became solemn. He knew very well that the soldiers' health was crucial to the army's combat effectiveness. If the condition was not under control, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Go call the military doctor." Mu Jiuchen said in a flat tone.

"Your Highness, you have traveled a long way, you should take a good rest before handling military affairs. I have arranged for someone to go to the city to purchase medicinal materials." Jiang Ying looked at Mu Jiuchen's tired face and couldn't help but persuade him. Several other generals also echoed and agreed with Jiang Ying's suggestion. Seeing this, Mu Jiuchen knew that he really needed some time to recover his strength and energy, so he agreed to everyone's request, asked them to leave first, and told the military doctor to wake him up after two hours.

Mu Jiuchen returned to the tent, fell on the bed, closed his eyes and began to sleep. He had been on the road from the capital to the border town, and only had a short rest in Jicheng. He had not stopped since then. Now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Mu Jiuchen ordered Changfeng and Changyun to go down and rest as well.
