Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

Chapter 158 Phoenix Drink

"Dear guests, please stop saying unlucky things." Zhou Shensi handed out a few cups of strangely colored milk tea to each person, his face long, "Who wants a war? How can we do business if a war breaks out?"

This Phoenix Drink has such a nice name, but it is very similar to the blood-replenishing viscera juice that Bai Zhi drank before. She twitched her eyes twice and didn't dare to drink it for a while.

Qiao Wanwan, the water buffalo, took a big gulp first, and then exclaimed unexpectedly, "It tastes good!"

"Right!" Tu promised, "Although it doesn't look good, it tastes good, and Shensi added the ingredients based on Prince Jing's character."

Bai Zhi: "...Ying Xu, are you speaking the Central Plains dialect?"

Tu Yingxu pushed the teacups in Bai Zhi and Lin Chuqi's hands toward their mouths and said with a smile, "You'll understand after you drink it."

Lin Chuqi disliked the unclear thing in his hand even more than Bai Zhi did. He looked at Bai Zhi with difficulty and said, "Sister, why don't I change it..."

Tu Yingxu said with certainty: "On the seventh day of the first lunar month, it tastes great!"

Lin Chuqi: “…”

Bai Zhi took a deep breath, then leaned against the wall of the cup and took a sip.

……what?

Tu Yingxu looked confident: "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Bai Zhi blinked: "Indeed..." She stared at the dark red unknown juice in her hand suspiciously - how did Zhou Shensi make it, the color was like swill, and it tasted like bamboo when she drank it.

It is not the kind of bamboo that stands proudly in the mountains. It is more gentle, like the bamboo lounge chair at home, which comes silently from the outside world into the secular world and supports a group of people.

This is what Prince Jing’s character means.

Lin Chuqi next to him asked, "Sister, how is it?"

Tu Yingxu was about to speak when Bai Zhi raised her hand to stop him. She made a serious face and teased Chu Qi, "I've already bought it, so I can only drink it. Chu Qi, who knows that every grain of rice on the plate is the result of hard work."

Lin Chuqi: “…”

Qiao Wanwan laughed and said, "She's teasing you, Chuqi, drink it!"

Bai Zhi: "...You are the only one with a big mouth."

Three days later, Chu Yunchuan rode a fast horse to the border of Ningzhou, where the White Tiger Army led by General Qiao Juchong was stationed.

The previous king did not give his troops any names that would scare people away. He simply called them the city defense army. The army in Zhuzhou was called Zhuzhou City Defense Army, and the army in Ningzhou was called Ningzhou City Defense Army. When Chu Yunchuan first succeeded to the throne, he generally used the old names, but changed the name of the Ningzhou Army under General Qiao Juchong to the White Tiger Army.

The Thirteen States are shaped like a shuttle, with a round center and narrow ends. Ningzhou is one end of the shuttle, stuck in the valley of the mountains. It is a must-pass pass between the Southern Barbarians and the Thirteen States. The barbarians' iron hooves broke through Ningzhou first, and then the iron gates of the Thirteen States were completely opened to be trampled by others.

The word "guarding the city" is not enough, the word "white tiger" is just right. The beast guarding the dangerous pass should be a ferocious beast that the enemy dare not even look at.

Chu Yunchuan revealed his identity and entered the White Tiger Army’s base, and then found Qiao Yuanshan’s general tent with familiarity.

He was very familiar with the houses and roads in this garrison. As early as when the White Tiger Army was renamed, he stayed here for a period of time and learned a lot from General Qiao's military training.

But today the base seemed a little quiet.

Qiao Yuanshan was painting alone in the room. When he saw Chu Yunchuan coming in, he hurried forward to greet him: "General Qiao Yuanshan..."

"General Qiao, there's no need to be so polite. I'm here as a courier." Chu Yunchuan took out Qiaoqiao's letter from his bag and handed it over. "My sister Qiaoqiao asked me to deliver the letter to General Qiao."

The prince personally sent him a letter, and it was a romantic letter. Qiao Yuanshan's brain, which was always busy planning on the battlefield, froze for a moment, and then he took the letter respectfully: "Thank you, Your Highness."

"Let's get back to the topic, General Qiao." Chu Yunchuan said, "What's the situation?"

"I will lead my men to track down the remaining members of Sharama along the way. Judging from their speed, these barbarians travel during the day and sleep at night, so they are not difficult to track. However, once they enter Ningzhou, they disappear without a trace. Ningzhou is a border town, and there are already many barbarians in the city. In my opinion, these barbarians dispersed after entering Ningzhou to avoid being too conspicuous. I have already ordered people to temporarily close the passes of Ningzhou under the pretext of investigating the real culprit of the murder. Only people can enter but not leave. All the follow-up decisions will be made by Your Highness."

"Well done, General Qiao." Chu Yunchuan pondered for a moment, "Has anything unusual happened in the city recently?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Everything is as usual."

"By the way, General Qiao." Chu Yunchuan asked casually, "When I came here, I saw that there seemed to be fewer people training in the parade ground than before."

Qiao Yuanshan said, "That's true. Recently, the soldiers have caught a cold, and those who haven't been training are all recuperating in their tents. Your Highness, don't worry, there's nothing serious."

Chu Yunchuan nodded: "We must let the troops rest well."

"Yes."

"How is the provincial official now?"

"According to your Highness' instructions, I have sent ten of my best kung fu men to take turns to secretly guard you. Lord Wei is safe and sound."

"General Qiao, thank you for your hard work."

"I dare not." Qiao Yuanshan secretly glanced at Chu Yunchuan, and was a little confused in his heart - speaking of that Provincial Official Wei, the rumors about the affair between His Royal Highness King Jing and her were spreading wildly in Ningzhou, and even many soldiers in the White Tiger Army had heard about it. Now there is a new official position being established in front, and the Provincial Official is being secretly protected in the back, could this rumor be true?

In the Thirteen States, being unfaithful and dishonest can be considered as a lack of personal morality. At this critical juncture when the barbarians are ready to make a move, King Jing's lack of personal morality cannot convince the people, which will cause some trouble in the future.

"General Joe."

Qiao Yuanshan came back to his senses and said, "I am here."

"The general seems to have something to say." Chu Yunchuan said, "You can say it."

Qiao Yuanshan: “…”

Can you say this directly?

His mind raced, and he changed the subject: "Uh... I have already prepared a place for Your Highness to stay in the city. Your Highness must have been exhausted from the long journey, so I will take You down there to rest."

"Don't bother General Qiao, I can go there on my own."

"Then I will send someone to lead the way for Your Highness." Qiao Yuanshan shouted outside the tent, "Sun Ying!"

A guard who was waiting ran into the tent and answered loudly, "In... cough cough cough cough!"

The two people in the tent watched him cough for a long time before he caught his breath. Qiao Yuanshan shouted, "How dare you! This is His Royal Highness Prince Jing! What crime should you be punished for such a disrespectful act?"

"General Qiao, don't be angry." Chu Yunchuan said with a smile, "This brother must have caught a cold, and the pain has invaded his body, so he can't control it."

"Thank you very much, Your Highness!" Sun Ying's voice was very hoarse, "Compared to my brothers and sisters in the same camp, my symptoms are quite mild, so I didn't rest!"

Qiao Yuanshan looked at Sun Ying carefully for a few times, and seeing that he seemed to be fine, he said, "Take His Highness to the palace first, and don't be slow."

Sun Ying clenched his fists and said, "Yes! General! Your Highness, follow me!"

Chu Yunchuan said goodbye to Qiao Yuanshan and followed Sun Ying's lead.

An invisible wind quietly rose from Sun Ying's body and lightly brushed Chu Yunchuan's outer robe.
