Xiao Jue watched the flickering candle flame and lost his sleepiness. As a general, he certainly wanted to conquer more territory for the dynasty. However, once the war broke out, how many people would be destroyed? If he didn't fight, they would always try to invade. It would be better to defeat them once and for all. At least now was not the time... He had to wait, wait for the warm wine to forge powerful weapons for him, wait for all his crossbows to arrive. Although he was confident, the most taboo thing on the battlefield was that arrogant soldiers would be defeated. The battlefield was ever-changing, he dared not guarantee anything, and he didn't want his soldiers to suffer serious casualties. He could only wait, wait for weapons, wait for an excuse, wait for an opportunity.

He took out the military book given by the old general and started reading. Qinglong came in and said, "Master, I see the light is still on in your tent. Why haven't you rested yet? You have to take care of your health..." He kept talking about combining work and rest. There are so many people waiting for him to lead them. He can't let his health get damaged.

"Stop... I'm going to sleep now, get out!" Xiao Jue was getting a headache from his nagging.

"Hey" came out, he was also persuading himself with the psychological feeling of being punished. He didn't rest much after coming back this time, and the bloodshot eyes became more serious. He almost went to bed at dawn every day to deal with things. Even cultivating immortals needs to sleep, not to mention that his master is still a mortal! Fortunately, the master didn't argue with him, which scared him.

"What are you doing sneaking around?" Qingfeng shook his body and asked Qinglong

"Watch it for me, don't bark at me. I saw that the master hadn't rested yet, so I went over to persuade him."

"Being scolded?"

"Isn't that weird? He didn't scold me, he just told me to get out."

"Huh? Why do you punish me every time I try to persuade you?" Qingfeng was no longer sleepy.

"Is there a possibility that it's because of Miss Wen?" Qinglong felt that the master might be because of Miss Wen's change of temperament.

"What does it have to do with her?" Qingfeng asked arrogantly.

Qinglong saw that he was too lazy to explain to him. This guy is just stupid. Generation gap

"Hey, don't go, tell me something," Qingfeng chased him and asked, but Qinglong ignored him...

A golden light shone from the east, dyeing half the sky golden. A pretty maid was waiting at the door with a tray in her hand. "Sister Baizhi, you woke up so early, but I woke up late."

"Lazy girl, is the young lady awake yet?"

"Miss, I told you yesterday that you don't need to call her for breakfast. She came back very late last night. Don't disturb her today." He smiled and said, "What delicious food did Tong Bo make today?"

"You're so greedy. Today we have honey porridge, steamed buns with rolled meat, and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. Tong Bo just developed them. They are fried very fragrantly. Go and eat them. I'll watch here." Bai Zhi smiled and said to Xuan Ling

"Meat buns? Then I'll go get some for both of us and we'll eat in the yard. The weather isn't so hot anymore, so it's better to sit under a tree and eat, okay?"

"Okay, okay, go ahead!"

Wen Jiu woke up slowly. It was almost time for lunch. Bai Zhi brought her medicine as usual to take care of her body, so that she would not have the same unbearable abdominal pain as last time when she had her period.

"...." Wen Jiu looked at the bowl of medicine with a frown on his face, but he still took it and drank it in one gulp, "Bai Zhi, how long will it take?"

Bai Zhi took the bowl and coaxed her softly, "Miss, you should insist on drinking it, otherwise you will suffer if you feel uncomfortable again next time."

"Okay, put down the food, and you all go out! Go check on Fu Yichen later and let him rest in bed. It's best not to let anyone enter my yard. I'm busy today."

"Yes, Miss." Xuan Ling put down the food and left with Bai Zhi.

Wenjiu finished her meal quickly, picked up a pen and started drawing. Her brain was working rapidly, recalling the layout of the house and the things that needed to be purchased. She drew more than ten sheets of paper and marked them so that it would be easier for Xiao Jue to find people to do the work. Then she started her own pot-making and iron-smelting in the backyard. She worked day and night for several days and finally made the gifts for her brothers. She packed the things in boxes, took them to Guanghui Money House, and asked someone to deliver them to the General's Mansion as soon as possible. There was also a letter, and she asked the shopkeeper to ask if he had heard any news.

The shopkeeper Zhang said, "Miss, it will take some time to return. Wait a minute. I will send these back to you first. But don't you have any gifts from the boss?"

Wen Jiu was stunned. Yes, she thought of the three brothers in the General's Mansion, but she didn't expect that her own brother had to take out the dagger given to her and said that it was prepared for him. Shopkeeper Zhang could see that the gems inlaid on the dagger showed that it was for women, but he didn't say much. He hurriedly thanked the young lady and said that the boss would definitely be very happy to receive it.

Would she be happy? Taking what she had left for herself, forget it, she couldn't be without conscience. After all, Wen Xi was pretty good to her this time, sending her food and clothes, and even letting her go to a bank when she had no money. This was also her kindness, right? But she didn't expect that Wen Xi, who received the things, was like holding a treasure, and didn't take his eyes off the dagger for a long time...

Shopkeeper Zhang sent away the warm wine and was still thinking about how to deal with the young lady in a few days. The boss sent a letter asking him to keep the things that happened in the capital secret. He just didn't know whether Prince Xiao would keep it secret.

Xiao Jue had received the news a long time ago, but naturally didn't want to tell Wen Jiu, fearing that she would worry, and also fearing that she would abandon her burden and leave. The result has already come out in the capital, and the best way to retaliate is to gain a firm foothold here and make sure that the emperor can't touch you.......

None of them knew that Wen Jiu also had power, but the news was slow to spread because she hadn't been to Xiaoxiang. But she still knew it. On the way back, Xuan Ying came in person. Wen Jiu saw him and quickly motioned him to go into a restaurant. They went in and talked for nearly an hour. Before leaving, she threw a sentence to Xuan Ying, "Hurry up and train people. I want to have people wherever I go. I don't want to know it after the conclusion is reached next time."

"Yes." Xuan Ying saw that her master was angry. Although she looked calm on the surface, her heart was actually in turmoil. She clenched her hands tightly and said nothing.

"When are you leaving this time?"

"I was in a hurry this time, but I happened to run into Miss Zhao on the way. I came with her. She must have come to look for you. Now that I have seen you, I plan to say goodbye to her today and leave tomorrow."

"Well, I will find a way to go back earlier." Wen Jiu must find a way to go back. Whether the war is fought or not, she wants to go back and take a look, but she can't leave now. She doesn't want to go back and cause trouble for the General's Mansion, and she is impatient.

"Master, the three young masters are really fine. The eldest young master is also recovering. You can't be anxious."

"Okay, I understand..." Wenjiu said and left.

Xuan Ying watched her leaving, wondering if she was injured along the way... In the end, he didn't ask.
