Chapter 1369 Famine and Natural Disaster 527
One team split up, one team escorted Mr. Ning and others back, and Cheng Mingyi took two guards, Yu and Li, to the military camp.

The three of them galloped on their horses, faster than they had come back.

Hongchou's physique was obviously better than the other two horses, and she ran in front as a shadow; however, after a cup of tea, the horses of Guards Yu and Li fell far behind and could only follow far behind.

After arriving at the military camp.

The three of them had no pass and could not enter or leave the military camp; but they saw another group of civilians doing business with the soldiers, exchanging money for goods.

The vegetables and fruits sent by the people were all fresh. The nearest town to Pingyang Pass was ten miles away, and it took such a long journey; none of the vegetables they brought out were rotten, and only a few were damaged.

Mingyi keenly smelled the bloody smell coming from the military camp, and his heart suddenly became heavy.

"There are many injured people in the barracks. I want to go inside to take a look."

"Madam Cheng, please think twice. You are wearing women's clothes today." Guard Li had been watching the interaction between the common people and the soldiers, and was deeply moved. Suddenly, when he heard Mingyi's words, he did not care about the hierarchy and spoke out to persuade them.

Mingyi looked down at the dark red dress she was wearing and realized that she had followed them back.

When she got home, she was greeted by Chunmei who was extremely surprised.

"Master, you are finally back."

"Chunmei, I'm fine. Please prepare some hot water and hot food for me. Please prepare some for Yu Shiwei and the others as well. They are back and very tired."

Mingyi walked towards the inner courtyard, and Chunmei responded to her from behind, "Master, please go back to the courtyard and rest your feet first. I will bring you some hot water. We also have hot food. Don't worry, I will deliver it to the courtyard right away."

Mingyi raised his hand and waved, then walked into the inner courtyard without looking back.

Guards Yu and Li sent the horses to the stable of the mansion. When they arrived, they just saw Mingyi's disappearing back, and Chunmei was also walking away.

"Miss Chunmei."

"Guard Yu, you are here. You must have had a hard journey. The kitchen has prepared hot meals for you. Come and eat. After eating, boil some water and wash yourself. You all look dusty." Their appearance was not very good. Not to say that they were in a mess, but they were definitely not neat and tidy.

Guard Yu nodded repeatedly and dragged Guard Li and Chunmei to the kitchen.

When serving the food in the kitchen, Chunmei was seen scooping two buckets of water, and they helped to carry them to the outside of the yard where Mingyi lived; they did not go inside, but just placed them outside the yard, which saved Chunmei a lot of effort.

"Thank you both for your help. Let's have our meal soon." Chunmei was holding a tray with two simple dishes, a soup and a large bowl of rice.

"Okay, we'll take our leave first."

The two bowed and left.

Chunmei walked into the yard holding a tray in both hands and went straight to Mingyi's bedroom. When she arrived at the bedroom's flower hall and the food was placed on the table, she looked up to both sides.

There is no one in the small study on the right, and there is a screen on the left, so you can't see what's behind the screen.

She walked around the screen and saw Mingyi taking out a set of men's clothes and putting them on the edge of the bed. She walked up to him and asked in confusion.

"Master, are you going to wear men's clothes again? Are you going out again?"

Mingyi didn't say anything, nor did he express his opinion. "The Northwest Army and the Central Plains have gone to war. Did you know that?"

Chunmei nodded her head, "Of course I know. I wanted to go to the military camp to help, but I couldn't get in, so I had to give up."

"Then change into men's clothes and come with me later."

"Master, you can't do that! The prince is not in the camp, how can we get in?" She tried before, but no one who had entered the camp before could get in. What if the master was stopped and not allowed to enter?
Ming Yi glanced at her anxiously, "Don't worry, your prince has given me a token. When they see the token, they will let us in."

"But."

"No buts." Chunmei was still worried, but she was obedient; after helping Mingyi wash up, she went back to her room and changed into a black men's suit while Mingyi was having a meal.

Unlike Mingyi's blue dress, her clothes were obviously worn by a servant.

"Master, are you leaving now?" After cleaning up the kitchen, I came back and saw that the master had already packed up his things.

Seeing her master coming out with a bag, does she have to pack it up as well?
"Let's go, I brought medicine." He handed the bag to Chunmei.

Chunmei took it with both hands, held it in her arms, and followed her out of the yard. After leaving the house, Chunmei realized belatedly that her master did not call the guards.

"Master, aren't you going to call the guards?"

"They have been tired for many days, let them have a good rest." Thanks to their alertness on the road, they only had two good sleeps when they stopped in the small town. After the raid, they didn't sleep well for three days.

Mingyi didn't sleep well either, but things had to be prioritized.

"Ok."

Chunmei followed her out, and they didn't even take a carriage on the way; they just led a chestnut horse.

"Master, you brought back a lot of horses this time. Didn't you go into the mountains? Why did you bring horses back?" Chunmei was pulled onto the horse's back and sat behind Mingyi, and asked curiously.

"If you want to travel quickly, you have to ride a horse."

Chunmei found that it was the same as if her master hadn't said anything.

Well, the master did say that, but unfortunately, she couldn’t understand the master’s deeper meaning.

Ride a horse to the outside of the military camp.

They walked to the busy entrance of the military camp, and the guards blocked their way; one of them stared at Chunmei for a long time and asked.

"Are you the female doctor who came to the military camp before?"

Chunmei's facial muscles stiffened. "Why are you looking so sharp? You knew I was a female doctor, but you wouldn't let me in when I came here before."

The guard who had exposed her identity had a cold face and didn't take her accusations seriously at all.

"The military camp is a restricted area, not a place for you to come. Please go back." The guard knew Chunmei because she was brought by An San, who was beside the prince, so he had a deep impression of her.

A little girl came to the military camp. She was a doctor and she could indeed do medicine, but she was not very good at it. Everyone in the military camp was busy and had no time to play with the little girl.

"Hey, you"

Mingyi pulled Chunmei back, who was about to do something crazy, and took out the token Zhou Ting had given her, "Can we go in now?"

The guard stared at the token to identify it. He recognized it. Although the person holding the token was wearing men's clothes, he could still tell that she was a little girl.

She had a slender, fair complexion and a graceful figure. She didn't walk in a heroic manner like anyone else; there was no one in their military camp who walked so gracefully. Besides, she was too beautiful.

You can tell at first glance that she is a girl who has been well-educated.

"How come you have the coach's token?"

"It seems that they recognize each other, so can we go in?" She was still thinking that this thing could mobilize the royal palace, but not necessarily the Northwest Army; now it seems that the Northwest Army also recognizes the token in her hand.

The general was embarrassed. "Girl, please don't make things difficult for me and others. Women are not allowed to enter the military camp. No outsiders are allowed to enter. You have a token, so I and others can't say anything. But if you go in, it will be bad for your reputation. Please think twice."
