The hero fell for the cannon fodder maid.

When she opened it, she found that it was a letter from Zhou Mu, saying that he had prepared everything and only lacked the right time.

Zhou Mu was going to leave the Marquis' Mansion with him, and he also wanted to go look for the Zhou brothers. After inquiring from many sources, he finally found some traces of them.

His direction is the border. He always has a knot in his heart, which is to know whether his father is still alive. His mother has been looking for his father.

Although the two of them took different paths, they ended up in the same destination, which was good as they had someone to look after them along the way.

Xiao Wanyue had nothing to do, so she went outside to buy some medicinal herbs and prepared some medicine. He Jingming's poison should be completely cured. She didn't know if this man had seen a doctor, but he looked pretty good now.

She fiddled around in the yard for a while while He Jingming was trying a case in the Ministry of Justice. His deputy, Zhang Feng, said jokingly, "My Lord, I heard you're getting married, and to a young lady from the Shangshu Mansion. Haha, congratulations! I didn't expect I'd still be single."

He Jingming didn't say a word, but just a look made Zhang Feng shudder. He was just joking, so was there any need to look at him with such sharp eyes? His heart was almost scared out of his wits.

"You don't handle things properly every day, but you like to listen to other people's gossip." He Jingming said meaningfully.

Zhang Feng felt that he was just a bad talker. He should not mess with this King of Hell from the Ministry of Justice. Would he be in trouble again?

"The person behind the corruption case in Liangzhou has not been found yet. Since you are so free, you can go." He Jingming spoke lightly about this difficult task.

"Brother, uncle, why don't you change one!"

When Zhang Feng heard this, he looked at He Jingming with a flattering expression, hoping that he could give him another job.

The matter in Liangzhou is very tricky. It involves Prince Rong and others, and he can't afford to offend them.

Moreover, Liangzhou is a place with poor mountains and bad waters, and the people there are very unruly. The customs of the people there are very fierce, and bandits are rampant. He doesn't want to go there. Besides, the weather is dry and the air is very hot, and he will definitely get burned if he goes there.

"If you keep saying that, I'll send you to the border to be a stoked worker."

However, seeing He Jingming's expression, he didn't dare to say anything more. It would be better to go to Liangzhou. Forget about being a stoker. You know, a stoker cooks for the soldiers, and even dogs won't eat the food he cooks.

It’s better not to harm others. It’s a pity that such a handsome man has to go to Liangzhou, a remote place.

Alas, this prince is so terrible.

"The imperial edict has arrived!!" A sharp voice came in, interrupting their conversation.

He Jingming came into the courtyard with an expressionless face, while Zhang Feng quickly went to greet the father-in-law who came to deliver the imperial edict.

"The imperial edict has arrived, Prince He, please accept it!!" A man with an extremely pale face walked in, opened the imperial edict, and looked at the person kneeling below.

"I accept the order." He Jingming's eyes were extremely gloomy. He knew this eunuch. He was the eunuch beside his mother. It was he who framed him and forced him to leave the palace. His mother also committed suicide to protect him.

He will make him pay the price, but he still has many questions in his mind. He is the person his mother trusts the most, why would he harm himself?

But he had long been accustomed to not showing his joy.

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that He Jingming, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice, is a man of exceptional talent, profound learning, profound understanding of the art of commanding troops, and a resilient character, making him worthy of great responsibility. With the border instability and the invasion of the barbarians, I hereby order you to assume the role of military supervisor and ensure the transport of supplies to the border without error. I decree this!"

After Wang Fu finished speaking, he handed the imperial edict to He Jingming, his eyes showing deep love and care. However, He Jingming did not notice it. He just felt that this man's eyes were very strange. Since he had done such a treacherous thing, why could he still show such an expression? Didn't he find it disgusting?

Wang Fu looked at He Jingming deeply and left.

He Jingming didn't know what the emperor meant or why he asked him to go to the border. Could it be that someone had doubted his identity?

This matter needs to be investigated thoroughly.

He summoned the secret guards and told them to go ahead with today's affairs, and asked a few personal guards to check whether the baggage was real. He thought that the emperor was always eager for quick success, and there were many corrupt officials around him who didn't care about the lives of others. Last year, when the Yellow River flooded, some people embezzled disaster relief funds, causing tens of millions of people to be displaced.

The most important thing this time is to transport supplies to the border. The soldiers at the border are the backbone of a country.

Defending the country depends on them, so he has to transport the food and supplies over no matter what.

After He Jingming finished dealing with the matter, he returned to the Marquis' Mansion. He asked He Chuan to get some silver notes to buy food, medicine, and other necessities for the army. He also summoned some doctors. Time was urgent, so only the most important things could be prepared.

When he came back, he went to the study and asked someone to call Xiao Wanyue. He wanted to have a good talk with her. He had to go to the border to escort supplies. The matter was urgent, and he didn't know what to do with Xiao Wanyue.

As soon as Xiao Wanyue heard He Jingming calling her, she came to the study. She didn't know what this man wanted to call her for, and every time he called her, it was definitely not good news.

When they arrived at the study, the person inside was writing official documents with his head down. The two of them were silent. Xiao Wanyue didn't say anything, and He Jingming didn't know what to say. He really wanted to take her to the border, but the border was too dangerous.

He would be sad if she got hurt.

He Jingming raised his head and said, "Come forward."

Xiao Wanyue came to the desk with some hesitation. She was still wondering whether she should ask first when He Jingming pulled her into his arms. The man's strong and powerful arms held her tightly, fearing that she would disappear the next moment.

Xiao Wanyue wanted to struggle, but when she saw He Jingming's red eyes, she felt a little reluctant for a moment. This man must have encountered some bad things, otherwise why would he have such a big reaction.

"What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?" Xiao Wanyue hugged him back and said.

He Jingming remained silent for a moment before he pursed his lips and said, "The Emperor sent me to the border to deliver food and fodder. I don't want to leave you here alone, but I'm also afraid you'll be in danger. I'll also be very sad if I can't see you. I don't want you to leave me, my Yue'er."

Xiao Wanyue: So that’s what happened. It seems like this is a good opportunity for her to leave the Marquis’ Mansion.

This person's words are quite creepy. My Yue'er is sickly and real, which is really perverted.

"Then what do you want to do with me? The border is indeed too dangerous. I am a slave. If I don't have a place to stay, I might die. What do you think we should do? If you are gone from this mansion, who can protect me?"

"I want to place you in the other courtyard and let the secret guards protect you until I come back, okay?"

"Then when are you leaving?"

"We have to leave in three days, and the journey may be dangerous!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you. You must come back safely and protect yourself. I'll be waiting for you." She looked at him firmly, afraid that if she looked less determined, she would hurt him.

"Okay, I will arrange everything, Yue'er." He Jingming looked at Xiao Wanyue affectionately.

The man looked so fragile with red eyes, so pitiful. He rarely showed such an expression. Alas, she also hugged him, making him feel warm.

The two of them whispered to each other in the study for a while and then went to do their own things. Before leaving, he gave He Jingming a bottle of medicine, which was specially used to remove the remaining poison and also contained medicine to detoxify all poisons.

He Jingming felt warm in his heart when he received these medicines. It was great to know that someone cared about him.

Xiao Wanyue told Zhou Mu the news, and the two of them also made a plan. As long as He Jingming left the mansion and went to the border, she would leave the mansion when the guards were lax. In this way, He Jingming should have reached the border as well, and he would not lose his composure because of her departure.

She knew very well that this man was very crazy. If there was something he liked, he would find it even at the ends of the earth. The heroine in the original book was like this. She tried her best to escape from the marquis's mansion, but was finally caught by the hero and forced love began.

So scary.

He Jingming was arranging people to do things again, hoping to quickly deal with some matters in the mansion and the capital. Moreover, he was ready to start a rebellion at the border. He had to go to the border. The winner would be the king and the loser would be the bandit.
