Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chu Lingshan is indeed a thoughtful person; she has thought of everything that Chu Yueli has thought of.

Despite the exhaustion of the march, these soldiers were still constantly thinking about the training of their troops. Such soldiers are truly rare.

"Once she has selected the elite team, let her take full charge of training them. This team will achieve great things in Southern Mongolia."

Huo Qing quickly replied, "Okay."

After that, the army indeed traveled through the mountain stream for two more days. On the evening of the second day, Nangong Ji ordered his men to set up camp on the spot.

The next city is just over an hour away.

Although their army was not particularly large, the passage of a 50,000-strong army through the city was bound to cause panic among the people.

Nangong Ji sent a messenger to the city lord overnight, instructing him to appease the people in the city and that they would enter the city early the next morning.

That night, everyone went to bed early.

After five days of continuous walking, everyone is exhausted. Today we will rest more than an hour earlier to give everyone a chance to recover.

Zisu cooked two large bowls of noodles for Chu Yueli. Although there weren't as many side dishes as in the capital, the steaming hot noodles were enough to move her.

"Where's Yunfei?" Chu Yueli picked up her chopsticks, assuming that Zisu would sit down and eat with her.

Unexpectedly, Zisu said, "I was just about to tell you about this, Miss. He's still standing outside, just like before, and doesn't want to come in. Miss, why don't you go and coax him yourself?"

It turns out that five days have already passed.

"I can't coax him." This time, I really can't coax him; no matter what I say or do, he won't listen.

During the day, he would eat whatever his brothers ate, without saying a word or even glancing at her.

Even when she went to find him, he ignored her completely, treating her as if she didn't exist.

As for after nightfall, Lu Yunfei would usually rest near her tent in order to protect her.

But despite his protectiveness, he still refused to pay any attention to her.

Not only Chu Yueli, but Zisu was the same.

This guy is incredibly stingy. It was Zisu who brought the stuff in for him to "test for poison" back then. Zisu was the one who personally administered the drug to him. He was angry with Chu Yueli, so naturally he hated Zisu as well.

“He doesn’t even pay attention to Liuyun, and only occasionally says a few words to Jinglei,” Zisu added.

"Why didn't you even pay attention to Liu Yun? Liu Yun didn't know about my plan at the time." Chu Yueli was somewhat surprised.

Zisu said helplessly, "They probably saw that Liuyun was often with me, chatting and laughing, so they automatically regarded Liuyun as one of our people. As for Jinglei..."

Something flashed across her eyes, but it was too quick for anyone to catch.

"As for Jing Lei, it's probably because he hasn't been talking to me much lately, so he doesn't consider me one of our people yet."

"This guy holds a grudge." Chu Yueli was also helpless, looking at the steaming bowl of noodles, she couldn't eat it right away.

God knows how hungry she was!

"Miss, why don't you go and coax him a little, let him come in and have a bowl of hot noodles? He is, after all, a prince. It's quite pitiful to see him eating dry rations and drinking water every day these past few days."

Most importantly, he's so good-looking. Being handsome comes with privileges; it's easy for girls to feel sorry for him.

Seeing that he wasn't eating or resting well, Zisu felt sorry for him and wished she could cook him the most delicious food in the world.

The key point is that she's still angry, so even if she cooks a whole table of imperial dishes, the Ninth Prince won't even glance at it!
