Ning Yao noticed the change in Hu Yuchun's words, and after thinking for a while, he followed him on a horse, and was a little confused, so he said: "What do you think the county minister?"

"You have only been in the army for more than a month, and found out that Sun Zheng was doing it carefully. But I, he has been by my side for five years, but I have never noticed any strangeness." Hu Yuchun dismounted and put the deer on the horse, turned his head to face Ning Yao's eyes, "You do have a very keen insight and have a very accurate judgment of things. Your future path is longer than my husband. Ning Yao, if you are an enemy of Yue, maybe even I may not be your opponent."

"I will not be enemies of Yue."

"But you want to overturn the verdict for Ye Zhao and Chen Mu. Do you know what this means?"

"I know."

"You know, but you still have to do it?"

"Yes." Ning Yao looked into Hu Yuchun's eyes, "I must do this."

"If they cannot be fair, if there are injustices that cannot be settled, if there are injustices that cannot be complained, if there are sufferings that cannot be said, if the people in Dawn live in such a country, how long can this country last?" Ning Yao sighed, "Mr. County Duke, if you really do it for Yue, for the people of Yue, and not for the emperor, you shouldn't stop me."

"If the Yue Kingdom does not innovate, the country will be destroyed. Since ancient times, all reforms have been bloody and sacrificed. I am not just to overturn the verdict on Ye Zhao and Chen Mu, but what I want to do is far more meaningful than this. And those who die because of this will not die in vain. Their descendants will live in a peaceful era and grow in the sun."

"Mr. County, although we live in the dark, our descendants, they, will live under the dawn."

So when faced with Qi State, she had to fight and she had to win. Only by winning would she have more bargaining chips and she could do what she wanted to do.

Today, Yue Kingdom is like a flower that is about to die if it is infected. Only by cutting off all the branches can you survive.

"Your words are exactly the same as what an old friend I know said." Recalling the past, Hu Yuchun's face was stained with sadness. "Later, for the sake of what she wanted, she was willing to die, and even ignored her young daughter. Even her like-minded lovers were abandoned. Ning Yao, I hope that you don't follow her footsteps."

Ning Yao was a little surprised by Hu Yuchun's change in attitude, but she quickly figured it out. She originally thought that Hu Yuchun was only loyal to the emperor, but now it seems that Hu Yuchun is more loyal to the Yue Kingdom and the people.

"There is constant in heaven, not for Yao, not for Jie." *Hu Yuchun was a little sad for a moment, "In this world, dynasties change, mountains and rivers change, only the people remain unchanged, and only us who live on this land, these so-called all living beings."

Hunting in winter is often more difficult. Ning Yao and Hu Yuchun only hunted a deer and some hares. They returned to the camp to add food to everyone.

The meal was very happy and the atmosphere was good. Even Ning Yao was taken to eat more. Hu Yuchun was silently observing Ning Yao, but he watched the bonfire shine on Ning Yao's face, and looked at her face as silent as she was. Because of the bonfire swaying, it made people unable to see her expression.

Only her eyes were extremely bright. The more she looked at Hu Yuchun, the more she felt that she was really like that bright woman like a pearl.

Hu Yuchun couldn't remember how long the man had died, but the memory that should have been forever sealed in his heart began to gradually awaken again, and he suddenly realized that he had actually always taken the woman to heart, and he had never even forgotten her appearance.

However, they were not destined to be together and the woman would never know. Just one glance, she was kept in her heart by someone, and she would almost be a lifetime when she let go.

Hu Yuchun is not a person who is greedy for his children, but he has also complained in private. Why did that woman get married when he met someone who amazed his life? He also thought that if he could make military achievements earlier, enter the temple earlier, and meet her earlier, would they still have a chance to meet?

Or he was a little greedy, he thought, if he was born rich, would he be the same as her childhood sweetheart?

However, it is too difficult to say that falling in love with a married woman. Some words are destined to never be expressed, and some people are destined to be able to keep them in mind forever.

So, except for Hu Yuchun himself, no one knew that he had liked someone. Only he knew that he originally wanted to persuade Ning Yao, but when he saw those eyes, there was only one thought left in his mind: just this time, he was selfish this time, and he indulged this time, no matter the consequences, no matter what the person in front of him said, help her do what she wanted to do.

This is his selfishness.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Magic Weapon Festival, also known as the Laba Festival. The New Year is approaching, and Juyong Pass is rarely a bit lively. The army went out to buy ingredients for Laba porridge according to the usual practice. Ning Yao was moved by the scene and felt depressed. He was worried that he had no place to vent his feelings. Someone reported to find a team of Qi soldiers disguised as vendors and sneaked into Yue.

Maybe I knew that Sun Zheng was dead and came to check the truth.

When Ning Yao heard the news, he was cooking porridge. After listening, he only silently put some more mung beans and ordered everyone not to care. Then he added some firewood to the stove where the porridge was cooking, and the accomplices explained the matter.

"When the porridge in this pot is ready, I will find a way to let those people drink it. Remember to add some dried longans."

"yes."

The leader was a veteran of the border guards. When he saw Ning Yao adding a lot of mung beans and asking him to put longans, he guessed it a little, nodded and said that he would make arrangements.

Three days later, someone in the Qi army was infected with wind and cold. In the month of Hai, the wind and cold spread rampantly in the Qi army camp and could not be suppressed. Gao Xu had no choice but to hang the truce sign and concentrate on dealing with the outbreak of wind and cold.

After a short period of peace, Juyongguan still couldn't have a good New Year.

On New Year's Eve, Juyongguan was in a peaceful scene, and some people even set off fireworks. Silver flowers bloomed in the night sky, and the light and shadows faded. Qi State attacked Juyongguan at night! On New Year's Eve, the Qi army rushed to the military doctor all the way, skipped all the herbs, and kidnapped a military doctor.

Although everyone fought hard, they were caught off guard because they were not prepared and were defeated a little miserably.

The next day, Hu Yuchun was so angry that he fainted when he heard about the war. Ning Yao immediately rushed to the military newspaper for 800 miles. The emperor was furious and immediately issued an order to order Ning Yao to counterattack and ask the army to escort Hu Yunchun back to the capital for cultivation. At the same time, he ordered people to escort the medicinal materials to Juyongguan.

It was not a wise move to withdraw a team of troops at this time, but Ning Yao actually agreed, which made people suspicious.

Ning Yao originally wanted Zhang Muxue to return to Beijing with Hu Yuchun, and Lin Yan thought so, and even asked Ning Yao for this. However, Zhang Muxue was firm in his attitude, and Ren Ningyao insisted on staying no matter how he said it.

"I have also read a few doctors and have a little knowledge of some herbs. I can stay in the army to help, and I won't be a drag." Zhang Muxue said this, frowned slightly, "I came here before for him, but now I want to stay, not just for him."

Although Zhang Muxue grew up in the deep palace since childhood, she has read many frontier poems and read history books. Not only did she know the scenery of the frontier, but she also knew the cruelty of the battlefield. But until now, she personally arrived in the northern border, she truly understood the contents of the books.

War has always been cruel. When Zhang Muxue first arrived in the northern border, she happened to encounter a small battle between the Northern Border Defense Force and North Vietnam. She failed to see the battlefield with her own eyes, but saw many wounded soldiers. Among the countless wounded people, when she was facing Lin Yan from afar, after confirming that he was not injured, Zhang Muxue's heart finally fell.

Later, she stayed in Juyongguan and would help in the clinic in the city to do some work of boiling medicine and delivering medicine. She had been frugal since she was a child, and she was still at a loss when she started to take care of people. But when she saw the patients, when she saw the cruelty of the war with her own eyes, those things that she could not have done were also done smoothly.

"It would be fine if I had never seen such a scene before, but now I have seen it, how can I stay out of it with peace of mind?"

Ning Yao looked at Zhang Muxue like this and saw her former self in a vague way. Chen Mu also asked her to leave at that time. What did she say at that time?

She said that she has good medical skills and can stay in the army to treat the wounded, and will never become a burden in the army.

Then she saw with her own eyes that the soldiers infected with serious wounds died because of lack of medicine but were powerless. She could only burn the bodies of those people and then rescue those who she could.

Good medicinal materials were expensive. The war was tight at Juyongguan at that time, and it was the deep winter when the mountains were covered with heavy snow. She could only use a handful of medicinal materials. That was the first time Ning Yao felt so deep in frustration, and he hated that he had only medical skills but was powerless.

Helplessly, Ning Yao agreed and had to hand over the Yuyan Sword to Zhang Muxue to defend himself, and asked Wuming to find a secret guard to follow Zhang Muxue to protect his safety.

Seeing this scene, Wuming had no choice but to complain, saying that the more she was concerned, the more trouble she was. Ning Yao just smiled and never answered.

A few days later, the medicinal materials entered the northern border and were robbed by Qi when they approached Juyongguan. The official responsible for delivering medicinal materials to each other finally arrived at Juyongguan under the escort of the few remaining officers and soldiers. When he was rescued, the man was seriously injured. He vented more and had less air, and he was hung up with one breath.

Ning Yao was not anxious or angry. A few days later, another spy came to report that many people died of illness in the Qi army in just a few days.

Originally, Qian Hao was very dissatisfied with Ning Yao's attitude and forced himself into Ning Yao's camp, but he was stunned when he heard the military newspaper.

"Hasn't Qi just robbed the medicinal materials sent by the imperial court? Why did so many people die of illness in the past few days?"

Qian Hao frowned and puzzled, but Ning Yao was too lazy to answer his stupid question, but instead asked the spy about the handling of the body in the Qi army.

The people of Qi originally advocated sky burial, but over the years, influenced by the people of Yue, some Qi people have also begun to advocate burial and cremation. However, there are regulations in the army that in order to prevent epidemics, all dead bodies will be burned.

But now the spy reported that Qi Jun dug a sinkhole, wrapped the body with a straw mat and threw it into the pit. Now there are many corpses piled up in the pit.

Ning Yao immediately ordered to strengthen the inspection of the border and river channels, so that soldiers could report it immediately if they discovered the abnormality. Most of the people in the Qi army died of wind and cold. Now they dug up the sinkhole and hoarded corpses. It is not impossible for the Qi army to throw the corpses into the river and pollute the river channels or store a large amount of corpses to induce epidemics.

Since Ning Yao could design that Qi Jun was infected with the cold, he naturally had to guard against what corpses Qi Jun used to do. Sure enough, a few days after she gave the order, someone came to report that piles of Qi Jun's bodies were found in the upper reaches of the river. The place where the corpses were found was close to the river. If there were a few more rains, the river would be polluted.

Upon receiving the news, Ning Yao immediately ordered the body to be burned, and ordered people to sprinkle a lot of lime powder at the place where the body was found, and personally prescribed a prescription to make medicine, so that every soldier could drink it.

The stroke and cold in the Qi army camp had not been cured for a long time. In case of precautions, Ning Yao directly sent someone to secretly burn the sinkhole where the Qi army was hoarding corpses, prescribed another prescription, and sent an envoy to the Qi army camp.

The doctors in Qi State generally have low medical skills, but now the one in charge of the camp is Gao Xu. The Qi army was infected with wind and cold, and the military doctors were incompetent, so the wind and cold spread in the army irresistible. Seeing that people died every day, Gao Xu thought about it and finally sent a letter to Gaochang.

But now Gao Chang's reply has not arrived yet.

Judging from Gao Xu's attitude towards handling Qi Jun's corpses, in addition to piles of corpses contaminating the water source, Ning Yao thought that he should also want to lure Gaochang to the front line.

The emperor stopped all the news about Juyongguan and did not want Gao Chang to know. Ning Yao decided to help Gao Xu. Two days later, the news that the Qi army was infected with the cold spread throughout Qi.

Sure enough, Gao Chang was about to go south when he heard the news. The emperor refused and immediately locked the people in the palace. The two had a big fight, and the voices of dispute even disturbed the patrolling guards. At night, the emperor was assassinated by an assassin and was poisoned and drowsy. The next day, Gao Chang left the palace early and took the doctor in the mansion to treat him all the way south to Juyong Pass.

After receiving the news from his brother, Ning Yao climbed up to the city tower and looked at the direction of the capital of Qi from afar, and was not sleepy for a long time.

Although her design may not have destroyed the delicate balance between the Emperor of Qi and Gaochang, she also successfully buried another thunder in the other party's heart. Ning Yao received the news on the evening of the day after Gaochang left.

Everyone in Qi was good at riding and shooting. Two people were light and simple to travel, and two fast horses should be able to arrive soon.

Sure enough, the day after Ning Yao received the news, a spy came to report that Gaochang and his men arrived at the Qi army's camp in the southern border.

As soon as Gaochang arrived, Qi Jun felt like he was relieved, and those who were restless in their hearts calmed down. Ning Yao knew that it was not that Gao Xu was not outstanding enough, but that he had gone to the battlefield as a general. He had no experience and had no prestige in the army.

Gao Chang finally made up his mind to let Gao Xu go to the army to experience it. As long as he gained prestige in the army this time, he could gradually hand over the army to Gao Xu in the future. However, Gao Chang was still reluctant to let it go. He owed too much to Gao Xu, so much that as soon as he heard that he was in danger, he rushed to him desperately.

As Ning Yao expected, Gaochang brought the doctor, but Qi State's medical skills were not good, and there were few good doctors, so even if he had a doctor, it would be useless. Ning Yao immediately decided to send someone to send the medicinal materials to Qi Army.
