Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1218 Famine and Natural Disaster 377

Chunxi hesitated for a long time and said to her: "Of course I am happy for you, but you might as well ask Master Cheng to get the indenture of your family from the prince. Wouldn't it be better for you to follow Master Cheng wholeheartedly in the future?"

"No need. I believe in the master. She will not let that day come to pass." She also believed that the prince would continue to value the master. As long as the prince valued the master, everything would be fine.

"Okay, as long as you think it through." Chunxi smiled sweetly in response, accustomed to her optimism, "Master Cheng is indeed very good to us servants, but you must not lose your sense of propriety in front of Master Cheng. I am still a servant after all."

If someone else said this, Chunmei would think too much; but if Chunxi said this, Chunmei would just be happy, "I know, Chunxi, don't worry; you know me, I won't do anything presumptuous, and I won't do anything to displease the master."

Chunxi then showed a genuine smile.

The two chatted and laughed as they went to wash clothes, while Mingyi sat in the tent, flipping through medical books out of boredom; ancient medical books are always refreshing. Based on a solid theoretical foundation, one can first discover many very interesting concepts. Combining what one has learned with thinking about the mysteries of the human body, one will always inadvertently come up with more inspiration.

As the days passed, she was immersed in the ocean of traditional Chinese medicine.

Until the army returned to Fucheng, Mingyi took a day off to go and welcome the returning army with General Zhongwu and others.

  The weather was gloomy, with dark clouds covering the sky. It seemed as if there was only a person's height between the sky and the earth. The howling wind blew up the yellow sand all over the sky, and it looked like a downpour might come at any time.

"coming!"

Someone shouted, and General Zhongwu subconsciously looked up at the road the army must take. Sure enough, he saw the sound of neat yet slightly messy footsteps in the sky full of yellow sand.

"It's the commander who's back!" A captain standing beside General Zhongwu saw the man at the front of the team riding a tall horse, wearing silver-white armor that stood out in such gloomy weather. The captain smiled deeply, as if relieved of a great burden, "General Zhongwu, it's the commander and his men."

"I see. Go and meet them." After giving the instructions, he glanced at Cheng Mingyi on the right, "Mr. Cheng, do you want to go with us?"

Mingyi smiled and nodded gently, "Let's go together."

"Please."

General Zhongwu invited with a smile.

Mingyi responded to his request, and the two of them rode side by side on horseback, slowly heading towards Zhou Ting's team.

The two teams met up, and General Zhongwu dismounted from his horse and knelt on one knee, "I greet you, Commander, and respectfully welcome you back with a great victory."

"Congratulations to the coach for returning with a great victory."

"Congratulations to the coach who has returned victoriously!"

"Congratulations to the coach who has returned victoriously!!"

The ceremony was so grand that the soldiers who came to greet him knelt on one knee and followed General Zhongwu in bowing.

When Cheng Mingyi got off the horse, Zhou Tingzhi smiled at her, turned over and got off the horse and walked towards her. When he passed by General Zhongwu, he called out, "General Zhongwu, you have worked hard. Everyone, please stand up."

"Thank you, coach."

"Thank you, Commander."

Zhou Ting stood beside Mingyi. Although he did not speak, his eyes contained a look of concern and inquiry.

Mingyi smiled at him and nodded slightly; she was doing fine, but Zhou Ting had lost a lot of weight, got tanned, and grown taller. Standing in front of him, she looked like a real child now, the height difference was too big.

After getting Mingyi's affirmative response, Zhou Ting smiled at her, but the smile disappeared the moment he turned around and looked at the people who came to greet him.

"Commendations, return to camp! We will hold a celebration banquet tonight!"

"Oh! Oh! Oh!" Both the soldiers who came to greet them and the soldiers who were going to the battle shouted in unison.

It is a blessing to return alive; it is worth celebrating to win a battle.

Zhou Ting quietly took Mingyi's hand and squeezed it, but let go after a moment.

Mingyi glanced sideways at the man beside her who was becoming more and more heroic, her lips curled up slightly, and she looked at him with a smile; she saw his ears turning red little by little, and no matter how dark his ears were, they could not hide that redness.

"Return to camp!"

"Here!"

Everyone remounted and headed straight for the camp.

The army entered the camp smoothly. Zhou Ting handed the horse to his deputy general and turned to look at Ming Yi.

Ming Yi smiled knowingly, and after getting off the horse, he handed the horse to the deputy general beside him; this man was as black as charcoal, and he could blend into the night without being seen walking out in the dark. This man should be someone Zhou Ting had recently promoted, and he had no impression of him.

"sorry to bother you."

"Mr. Cheng, your words are too serious."

"His surname is Han. He is a fierce general that I discovered during this expedition. He is very brave in battle. He practices external martial arts and is very agile in combat." Zhou Ting took the initiative to introduce him to her.

Deputy General Han frowned and bowed respectfully, "Master, thank you for your compliment. I am not worthy of your praise in front of you."

"Go ahead, and remember to have someone deliver the spoils of this battle to the main tent." Zhou Ting gave an order, and sent the person away. He quietly walked to her side, took her little paw, and asked carefully, "Are you having a good time in the camp? Are you having trouble adapting?"

Mingyi shook her head and followed him, saying only, "Everything is fine. With General Zhongwu taking care of me, no one in the camp dares to disrespect me."

"That's good." He felt relieved and spoke softly, "We got a lot of spoils during this expedition to the Western Regions. They will send my share to me after they have sorted it out. Take whatever you like and send the rest back to the palace for storage."

Mingyi became interested, "What spoils did you get?"

"Gold, silver, jewelry, various vegetable and fruit seeds and saplings. We have also discovered several gold, silver and iron mines in the Western Regions. Our Northwest Army will not have to worry about iron for the next five years."

Zhou Ting's eyes were filled with a relaxed expression, and Ming Yi was happy to see it. "That's a good thing. With enough iron ore, we can make more excellent weapons."

"Yes." Zhou Ting was firm and happy, and he told her about his experiences in the Western Regions.

Mingyi listened patiently, and asked a few questions when she encountered topics that interested her. She did not stop even when she entered the main account. He had not talked so much to anyone outside for a long time. He could not tell his subordinates everything he knew. Only in front of her could he relax and speak freely, no matter what he wanted to say.

This included the embarrassment of the soldiers in the army, and even the thousands of beautiful women who were presented as tribute when the Western Regions royal court was defeated and asked for peace.

There are big things, and there are also small things.

  Zhou Ting couldn't stop talking, and Mingyi could only gesture to Chunxi and Chunmei, asking them to prepare hot water and hot food; he had to wash himself, eat, and have a good sleep, otherwise would he be able to make it to the celebration banquet in the evening?

Chunxi and Chunmei went out with a smile on their faces, and returned a quarter of an hour later with hot water for bathing and washing, as well as hot meals.

Zhou Ting stopped talking regretfully, holding Ming Yi's hand and unwilling to let go, "Yi Yi, I'm going to take a shower first, you wait here for me for a while."
