[Marriage first, love later] She is happy after marrying a widower

On the other side, Song Yanzhi and Cui Jingshu rode at full speed and returned to Qinghe Town at lightning speed.

The dust raised by the horse's hooves rolled up behind them, as if telling of the tension and urgency of the journey.

Finally, on the morning of the third day, they rushed back to Qinghe Town.

At this moment, Cui Jingshu's face was as pale as the remaining snow in winter, without any blood, his lips were trembling slightly, and he looked as if all his strength had been drained away, and he was extremely weak.

She had been jolted on the horse's back for so long that she was already dizzy. If Song Yanzhi hadn't been there to support her tightly, she wouldn't have had the strength to get off the horse. Once she got off, she staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Song Yanzhi hurriedly supported her, her face filled with anxiety and heartache. She carefully led her to the county government office, muttering to herself, "Sister, please go back to your room and rest. I haven't left your yard untouched. Everything is ready. Go back to your room, wash up, and have a good sleep. I've really made you suffer this time."

Song Yanzhi did not let Cui Jingshu walk, but asked someone to bring a sedan chair and carry Cui Jingshu back to the courtyard where she used to live.

After entering the yard, Song Yanzhi personally helped Cui Jingshu out of the sedan chair and took her into the room where she used to live.

Song Yanzhi gently helped Cui Jingshu sit down on the bed, and carefully helped her tuck her messy hair behind her ears, then pulled the quilt over and carefully covered her.

Then he sat down beside the bed, held Cui Jingshu's hand, and comforted her softly, "Sister, you should have a good rest and don't think too much. The most important thing is to get well first.

No matter how arrogant Jiang Zhi is, we are now back safely. As long as you get better soon, nothing else matters."

Cui Jingshu nodded slightly, but there was still a lingering look of panic on his face, and fear in his eyes, as if the horrible scenes he had just experienced were still replaying before his eyes, unable to be shaken off.

Her voice was trembling, full of fear after surviving a disaster, and she said: "Yanzhi, this time thanks to you, if you hadn't rushed to save me at all costs, I really can't imagine what kind of misfortune I would have encountered. I'm afraid I will never see Changqing again in this life, let alone reunite with him.

I really thought at that time...I thought I would never be able to escape from that clutches. That feeling of despair is still frightening me even now when I think about it."

As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, tears welled up in his eyes and slid down his cheeks.

Seeing Cui Jingshu like this, Song Yanzhi felt a pang of pain in her heart. She gently patted Cui Jingshu's hand, as if she wanted to pass on her courage and strength to her, and spoke in an increasingly gentle tone.

"There's no need for such awkward words between us sisters. You and I have come this far, sharing the good and the bad. Supporting each other is what we should do."

Song Yanzhi comforted Cui Jingshu nonchalantly. She had come to this point, and sooner or later she would have to confront the King of Mobei and Jiang Zhi. It was just a matter of sooner or later.

Cui Jingshu was extremely worried. "Jiang Zhi is not someone who will give up easily. We have ruined his plans this time and made him lose face. He will definitely not let us go easily. From now on, we must be careful and be on guard at all times."

Song Yanzhi patted Cui Jingshu's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, sister, I will find a way to deal with it."

Upon hearing this, Cui Jingshu frowned tightly, and worry in her eyes intensified. She bit her lip and said worriedly, "Jiang Zhi is ruthless and treats human life as worthless. He also relies on the power of the King of Mobei to act tyrannically and without any scruples.

It's not easy for you to deal with him, and your current power is still too weak compared to theirs."

Song Yanzhi's eyes became firm, and they were like the twinkling cold stars in the night sky, shining brightly, revealing unquestionable determination and courage. She held Cui Jingshu's hand tightly, as if to give her strength in this way, and spoke in a steady tone.

"Don't worry, sister. I have a clever plan to deal with Jiang Zhi. Just stay here with me and take good care of yourself."

Cui Jingshu had many wounds on her body. Although they were not serious, they still looked terrifying on her fair skin.

Song Yanzhi asked someone to go to Doctor Liu to get scar removal medicine for Cui Jingshu, and told Fuling to take good care of Cui Jingshu before leaving.

After settling Cui Jingshu, Song Yanzhi did not rest at all.

She didn't dare to slack off at all. She walked out of Cui Jingshu's yard anxiously and went to the flower hall to discuss things with her subordinates.

He immediately summoned all his managers, counselors and generals. When they heard the news, they all rushed over. For a moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the flower hall. Everyone had different expressions, some were serious, some were a little nervous, and they all gathered in the tent.

Song Yanzhi stood in front of everyone, her eyes scanning each one sharply, her expression serious as if covered by a layer of frost. She spoke loudly and forcefully, "Everyone knows that this time we have a complete feud with Jiang Zhi, and that guy will definitely not let it go.

From now on, we must strengthen the defense of Qinghe County. We cannot afford to be careless. This concerns the survival of all of us! "

When everyone heard this, they all straightened their backs and responded in unison: "Yes, ma'am!"

Song Yanzhi nodded slightly, then gave orders in an orderly manner: "First, increase the number of patrols. Special personnel should be assigned to patrol the city gates, around the city walls, and the important streets and alleys in the city continuously.

Patrol soldiers must be extremely alert and pay close attention to any movements around them. If they spot anyone suspicious, even if they feel something is amiss, they must report it immediately. There must be no delay. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Everyone responded in unison again.

Song Yanzhi continued, "Also, send someone to closely monitor Jiang Zhi's movements. If he makes any moves, whether it's troop deployments or any other actions, inform me immediately. We can't be caught off guard by him. We must know both ourselves and the enemy so we can respond with ease."

"Yes, ma'am, we'll arrange it right away!" After receiving the order, everyone quickly dispersed and went to perform their tasks. The entire camp became busy in an instant, with soldiers running around in a hurry everywhere.

At the same time, Jiang Zhi still had not given up investigating the matter of Cui Jingshu being rescued. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The anger in his heart was like a volcano about to erupt, surging and impossible to suppress.

"Go and investigate. It's been several days, and if you can't find anyone, bring your head to me."
