Jiang Hai, who had specially freshened up and put on new clothes, was holding plum blossoms in his hands again in anticipation of dinner time. When he came over, he saw General Tie holding the door.
He was startled.
"Where is Mrs. Qi?" He looked around and shouted loudly.
No one answered him. There was no one on the street, but Jiang Hai couldn't help it. With a crackling sound, Jiang Hai kicked open the doors of several houses.
"Where is Madam Qi?" he asked with a fierce look, which was in sharp contrast with the plum blossoms in his hand.
It seemed that if you opened your mouth slowly, you would be swallowed by this man.
"Gone." The neighbors replied helplessly.
"What's gone?" Jiang Hai shouted.
"If you leave, you just leave." The neighbor said with a frown, holding the door with one hand, ready to resist the man if he went crazy.
"He ran away." Another neighbor stuck his head out from behind the door and shouted.
Jiang Hai looked back fiercely.
The man was so frightened that he shrank back and slammed the door.
It seems that if they don't explain clearly, this man will definitely cause trouble for them all night.
"That Mrs. Qi made a bet with someone, but couldn't win the bet, so she ran away." The neighbor explained patiently.
"Bet? Who are you betting with? What are you betting on?" Jiang Hai asked with eyes wide open.
Ever since they saw him using plum blossoms to get a favor from Mrs. Qi, the brothers all followed suit and took away all the plum blossoms he got. As a result, he had to go to the plum garden and pick up some women along the way.
He likes gadgets, but he didn’t expect that with such little effort, someone would actually bully his woman on his territory!
Jiang Hai reached out and picked up the neighbor.
"It's not me!" the neighbor shouted, "it's the military doctor and some soldiers!"
Jiang Hai led his men to the military medical camp, but did not find the military doctors. He had to turn around and look for the soldiers who had troubled Madam Qi that day, causing a great stir.
When there was a lot of commotion here, the guard also heard the report from his subordinates.
"You did follow me as expected?" He raised his head and asked in surprise, putting down the teacup in his hand.
The subordinate nodded.
"Yes, it's absolutely true. I brought two cars and everyone went," he said.
"Ah?" The guarding lady on the side heard this and asked hurriedly, "Then the cook I want is also here?"
The subordinate nodded.
"It's true." Mrs. Guard breathed out unhappily, "A few more days have passed. Maybe the Crown Prince's wife will arrive tomorrow."
"Let's go look for it again. A cook can't be in such a difficult situation." Lord Guard comforted him, "Besides, such a fastidious family might bring a cook with them."
"What they bring is theirs, what we give is our heartfelt gift." Mrs. Guard snorted, "This has a very different meaning."
"You women have a lot of things to do." The guard waved his hand and said.
"It's not because of you men that we have so much trouble." Mrs. Guard said unhappily.
Seeing this topic rushing to the couple's inner room, the subordinate looked embarrassed and couldn't help coughing.
"Is there anything else?" Lord Guard also noticed the lapse and asked, stroking his beard.
What's the matter? The female doctor hasn't finished talking yet...
"Then that female doctor really asked her to go to Pengshan Fort?" the subordinate asked hurriedly.
"Go ahead. Didn't she herself say that the doctor is going to join the army? The desire to serve the country is commendable, why should she stop her?" the guard said, rolling his eyes.
Come on, the subordinate said nothing more, responded and left.
Mrs. Qi, who had only stayed in the Acropolis for a few days, disappeared before everyone's eyes.
Because he left so suddenly, apart from Lord Guard and a few subordinates knowing the true situation, it was also because they were paying attention to the cook in Mrs. Qi's house, otherwise, even they would not take it to heart.
There were only a handful of people who knew Madam Qi in the acropolis. Many people gathered around to watch the excitement that day. At best, they only knew about such a person because of the excitement.
So when they saw that woman suddenly appearing and disappearing, they all thought she was provoked by the military doctor and ran away.
Even the wounded soldiers who had been treated by her thought so, and were angry and a little disappointed with the behavior of the military doctors and soldiers.
Perhaps those military doctors were right. Such doctors are only suitable for those in the stable hinterland, not in the desolate frontiers like theirs. Besides, what's the benefit of curing these poor soldiers or disabled trash?
What? In addition to thanking him one after another, the money is probably not enough for the doctor's one-time consultation fee, let alone the medicine.
They are not fools. As Qiao Minghua said, they have also seen many doctors. Any prescription they prescribe will be very expensive.
Those doctors, who are skilled and capable, will and should enjoy a rich and decent life, instead of staying here just for the help of remnants like them who have nothing.
Entering the twelfth lunar month, Lord Guard will start to be busy in the new year. His busyness is different from that of ordinary people. It is very important to welcome and send off things.
"My lord, my lord."
The guard who was checking the gift list with the accountant was startled by the shout outside the door.
Three or four subordinates rushed in without even waiting for a briefing.
Although everyone is from the military, given their official rank, they also need to pay attention to etiquette.
Lord Guard was a little unhappy.
"Sir, there is smoke coming from the west!" The subordinates did not care about the face of the guard, their faces were already ugly.
As soon as these words came out, the guard stood up from his chair in shock.
"Wolf smoke!" he shouted.
This damn Dongnu will definitely not let everyone have a comfortable New Year! They will cause trouble when the Chinese New Year comes, and they will cause trouble when the Chinese New Year comes!
The guard raised his hand and overturned a chair.
"Where?" he asked.
The living room was always an official hall. Following his words, the subordinates stood in front of the defense map on the wall.
"From Liumen Fort all the way to Pengshan Fort." The subordinate drew a line on the drawing with his hands.
Lord Guard nodded, this area is not small. It seems that this trip to Dongnu is a large number of people who are well prepared.
"What's going on? There's smoke in the west?"
Another voice came from outside the door, followed by heavy footsteps approaching.
"Your Majesty!"
"General Chang!"
Everyone called each other and turned around to see Chang Yuncheng, wearing a big fur cloak and dusty from the weather, walking in.
The followers behind him quickly followed, reaching out to take the large fur cloak that Chang Yuncheng took off as he entered the room, revealing the plain blue cotton robe and golden jade belt underneath.
Chang Yuncheng stood in front of the map without bowing politely to them. After understanding the situation, everyone sat down separately.
"Originally, I didn't think it would be time yet, but the prince has actually arrived." Lord Guard said.
"I was walking in a hurry." Chang Yuncheng said simply, asking, "I asked along the way, that, I don't know, I...I..."
It was rare to see Chang Yuncheng stumbling when he spoke. Everyone present was stunned, staring at him blankly not knowing what he was going to say.
Talking about my wife? It seems inappropriate.
Saying her name? It's even more inappropriate.
I don’t know what name she used to find me...
"Um, is anyone looking for me?" he finally asked.
Everyone looked at each other.
"You mean your wife?" a clever person asked.
Chang Yuncheng nodded.
"Could it be that you haven't seen your wife either?" Lord Guard asked in surprise.
There was still no news. He thought Chang Yuncheng's wife either hadn't arrived yet or had gone to the capital to join Chang Yuncheng.
"What? You too?" Chang Yun couldn't sit still anymore and stood up and asked.
He asked all the way, but there was no news about Qi Yueniang, but this was the only way to go.
Just when everyone was about to speak, there was another shout from outside the door.
"Xu Ningde! Get out of here!"
Lord Guard's face turned dark, someone dared to call him by his name like that!
It wasn't over yet. Along with this shouting, a door that was originally open was deliberately kicked.
Jiang Hai rushed into the house, followed by the guards of the garrison who wanted to stop him. However, they were blocked by Jiang Hai's people and became a melee at the door.
"Xu..." Jiang Hai shouted, while searching for the figure of the garrison master, he was stunned when he saw Chang Yuncheng.
"Jiang Hai!" Chang Yuncheng raised his eyebrows and shouted with a stern face, "What are you talking about?"
Jiang Hai looked at him, his face that was originally full of anger suddenly turned into a frown, as if he was about to cry.
"Master, you have to make the decision for me, Xu Ningde wants to kill my woman..." he shouted.
What a mess, everyone frowned.
"What time are you fooling around? You're a woman, get out of here." Chang Yuncheng glared at him and shouted.
Jiang Hai gasped in anger.
"It was at this time, when there was a war in Pengshan Fort, that Xu Ningde drove my woman there!" he shouted.
"Jiang Hai, please speak clearly, who are women and men?" Lord Guard shouted with a serious face.
He knew that Chang Yuncheng would have a higher official position than him sooner or later, but that would be in the future, not now. He could not let a subordinate of Chang Yuncheng point at his nose and scold him like this.
"Ms. Qi, mother, I don't know until now that it was you who deliberately made things difficult for Ms. Qi and allowed those military doctors to take the opportunity to provoke me. My Ms. Qi..." Jiang Hai shouted without fear.
Before he finished speaking, Chang Yuncheng suddenly stood in front of him. His speed was so fast that a gust of cold wind blew through him, and Jiang Hai couldn't help but stutter.
"What did you say? Who?" Chang Yuncheng asked in a trembling voice.
"Oh, Prince, I forgot to mention that you also know the former doctor of your family, Mrs. Qi..." Jiang Hai said hurriedly.
Chang Yuncheng grabbed his shoulder.
She's here! She's here indeed!
"She's here?" he shouted. "Where is she?"
"She has been here a long time ago. She also said she would wait for the prince to come and see you. What a good result. This bastard drove her to Pengshan Castle!" Jiang Hai shouted, pointing his finger to guard the master.
Lord Guard finally remembered who Jiang Hai was talking about. Did that woman know the prince?
He couldn't help but hesitate.
Chang Yuncheng followed Jiang Hai's hand and looked at Lord Guard, looking a little confused.
"Oh, that's it. That Mrs. Qi, I don't know why she got into a dispute with the people in the military medical camp, and I don't know how she said it. She followed the military medical camp to Pengshan Fort. I only heard about it afterward. I didn't know what to say.
You are not allowed to enter the military camp, I am about to send someone to tell you..." the guard said as if he suddenly remembered.
Before he finished speaking, Chang Yuncheng's eyes had already fallen on the map on the wall.
Jiang Hai and Lord Guard started to say something again, but he couldn't hear it at all, and only three words echoed in his ears.
Pengshan Fort!
She is in Pengshan Fort now!
The quarrel between Jiang Hai and Lord Guard was interrupted by a clang, and then he saw that the door kicked by Jiang Hai had fallen to the ground, and Chang Yuncheng's figure in the yard had disappeared.
