After a while, Lu Wenchuan whispered

"I hope my sister-in-law can let it go after she goes there."

"I hope so."

In theory, May and June are the most comfortable months for traveling, as the weather is neither too cold nor too hot. However, because the weather in northern Lingnan is cool, mid-May here is colder than elsewhere.

He Zhao traveled all over Lingbei all year round, so he was naturally very familiar with the area and brought all the necessary equipment with him.

On the first day of departure, everyone was in high spirits.

Yingyue and Yuzhu, in particular, were addicted to picking wild vegetables in the mountains. Whenever they stopped to rest, they would go to the nearby mountains to pick wild vegetables together.

Yingyue's kung fu is quite good. While Yuzhu picked wild vegetables, she went hunting for wild animals. After two or three days, Jiang Sheng and his friends had already roasted two rabbits and a pheasant.

During the lunch break, the two went up the mountain again. Lin Jin felt itchy and followed them.

As a result, he didn't come back for a long time.

Jiang Sheng was a little worried. Just when he wanted to ask Yingqiu to go with him to take a look, Lin Jin came back carrying something, covered in blood.

Jiang Sheng and the others hurried over. Seeing that Yingyue and Yuzhu were also covered in blood, she asked

"What happened? Why is there blood?"

Yuzhu said with a smile

"Miss, we are starting to get a big bargain today."

At this time, Lin Jin threw the things he was carrying on the ground, and Jiang Sheng immediately smelled a fishy smell.

“Is this a wild goat?”

Yuzhu said with a smile

"We were planning to go to the mountain to pick some wild vegetables, but we saw two goats fighting each other. The fight was so intense that we watched for a long time and were about to leave when one of the goats actually gored the other to death."

Yingyue continued

"The victorious sheep walked away with a proud look on its face, and we got the advantage."

Among the people He Zhao brought was a fat uncle who was a chef.

He walked by and looked

"Oh, this sheep is not small."

Jiang Sheng thought of the roast lamb marinade in his backpack and said softly

"I'm afraid it's too late to eat it at noon, so why not marinate it after we clean it up? I have some seasoning bags. Marinate it for a few hours and grill it in the evening."

Yuzhu exclaimed happily

"Roasted whole lamb? That's great, miss. We haven't had it for a long time."

Lin Jin said with a smile

"That's a real treat. On the way back, I heard Yuzhu and the others talking about how delicious the roasted lamb marinated by Dr. Jiang was. My mouth is watering."

Yingyue pinched her waist and said proudly

"Well, the mutton soup cooked by our young lady is really delicious. Besides, our young lady can do anything."

Yuzhu chimed in

"That's right...that's right...our lady can do everything very well. She is versatile."

Lin Jin said subconsciously

"Our Second Master is like this. He can succeed in everything he does. For our Second Master, everything is easy."

"Our young lady knows medical skills and can bring the dead back to life."

"Our Second Master is good at both literature and martial arts, and can also do business and make money."

"Our young lady is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"Our Second Master is good at poetry and songs."

Jiang Sheng and He Zhao looked at each other, both of them very puzzled as to how the topic jumped from roasted whole lamb to the two of them.

In order to prevent them from saying anything more outrageous, the two of them stepped forward and said

"Lin Jin, follow Uncle Fatty to deal with the sheep."

"Yes, Second Master."

"Yuzhu, Yingyue, come with me to get the marinated meat from the carriage. You can help prepare it later."

"Yes, ma'am."

Because of the encouragement of the roasted whole lamb, they moved forward at an exceptionally fast pace today and arrived at the rest station in just two hours.

As soon as they arrived at the post station, Uncle Fat and his friends hurriedly started a fire and roasted the lamb.

Jiang Sheng was responsible for cooking the mutton soup.

It takes a long time to roast a whole lamb, so they didn't have dinner until after the sun went down.

He Zhao brought a lot of people with him, including more than a dozen guards and servants. Even with so many people eating, there were still a lot of sheep left.

This is enough to show how big this sheep is.

Fortunately, the weather was cool at night, so the food I couldn’t finish could be kept and eaten tomorrow.

A few days later, they arrived at Qingbei City.

He Zhao and Jiang Sheng said that a passenger ship had been opened between Qingbei City and Fengcheng some time ago, and it would be faster to travel by water than by land.

So they changed their route temporarily.

As soon as they arrived in Qingbei City, someone blocked their way.

"Doctor Jiang, let's talk about the Qin family. The master heard that you have arrived in Qingbei City, so he specially invited you to his house for a chat."

Jiang Sheng glanced at He Zhao, and when he saw him nod, he said

"Mr. Qin's hospitality is hard to refuse, so I'm sorry to bother you."

The visitor bowed and said

"Dr. Jiang, this way please."

The Qin Mansion truly deserves to be the largest family in Qingbei City. The mansion is magnificent, and the Qin family alone occupies most of the street.

Led by the housekeeper, Jiang Sheng passed through the long corridor with carved beams and painted rafters, rockery and flowing water, pavilions and towers before arriving at the front hall.

Old Master Qin was waiting in front, but Qin Liwen was not there. I guess he was busy.

"Girl, you came to Qingbei City without telling me. If the people below hadn't reported it, I wouldn't have known about it."

Jiang Sheng explained with a smile

"We also changed our route temporarily and planned to take a boat to Fengcheng here."

When Mr. Qin heard about going to Fengcheng, his brows furrowed slightly.

"What are you going there for? It's not peaceful there right now."

"Master, do you know anything?"

Mr. Qin said slowly

"You should know that there was a war there last year, and many people died. The dead soldiers and civilians were basically buried on the spot. A while ago, the earth was turned upside down there.

The bodies near the battlefield have all been dug out, and the place is still in chaos, with no one in charge. If there are mountains of bodies just lying there, something is bound to happen sooner or later."

"Why not bury it on the spot?"

Mr. Qin sighed

"Alas, someone has to do the burial on the spot. After the war, Fengcheng is like a pile of loose sand. Everyone has his own ghost thoughts. You rely on me and I rely on you. No one can do practical work."

The old butler beside him said

"I heard that you can smell the stench even without entering Fengcheng. I'm afraid you won't be able to stand the smell even if you go there."

Mr. Qin looked at Jiang Sheng and said

"It is said that after a great disaster there will be a great game. I am afraid that Fengcheng will be in trouble. I know that you are a good doctor, but you should not wade into this muddy water. If you do a good job in Fengcheng, you may not be rewarded, but if you do not do it well, you will definitely be guilty."

Jiang Sheng was silent for a moment after hearing this.

"Thank you for your love, old man, but I have a reason to go to Fengcheng."

Mr. Qin sighed

"I knew you were a stubborn girl. You wouldn't listen to me."

At this time, Qin Liwen hurried back

"He Zhao, Divine Doctor Jiang, when I heard you were here, I rushed back. Fortunately, it's not too late."
