Chapter 210 I Can't Stay in Beijing, So I Came to Find You
After being stunned for a moment, she immediately thanked Zhou Yichen, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Zhou Yichen slowly threw away the blood-stained gauze and said, "I said, there is no need to thank each other. You should not move things tomorrow. The wound is bleeding again..."
"Besides, you have saved my life countless times, and you were injured this time to protect me. I just changed the medicine for you. How can it compare to your kindness to me?"
Fortunately, the wound was just a slight tear on the surface. Otherwise, even if it was a big fuss and disturbed others, he would have someone get a doctor over overnight to treat his wound for free!
After Chu Xi entered this body, he got used to acting according to the original owner's thinking. After all, it is not easy to conceal one's identity.
There were too many people on the mountain and I couldn't take a shower. When I came down the mountain, I was shocked by the scene in the city and couldn't remember at all that I had three wounds on my arms.
"Nothing, it's not the first day I've been injured. If I can't move just because I bleed, what kind of military commander am I?"
Zhou Yichen covered the wound with the medicine and said, "It's better not to be a military commander. Military commanders are dangerous. Swords have no eyes on the battlefield. It would be nice to go back to Beijing to take the imperial examination and become a civil servant, right?"
Even if he did not become a military general, he believed that with his talent, it would be easy for him to take the imperial examination and gain fame.
"Which military general didn't come this way? Even my grandfather came this way step by step." Chu Xi smiled lightly and didn't care.
Everyone around Chu Xi is very smart. If she is a little lax or her temperament is too different from the original owner, she will definitely arouse suspicion from others.
She never dared to look down on Zhou Yichen and others. They were just not born in the same era, but that didn't mean... Zhou Yichen and the others were brainless wooden people.
No matter how she wants to lie, she can always cover it up!
How could it be that easy?
Civil servant?
Others might be able to think about it, but Chu Xi doesn’t need to think about it.
Zhou Yichen slowly put down his rolled-up sleeves and smiled helplessly.
"You always neglect your body, in the future..." If he really went to the battlefield, he was worried that Qi Bai would risk his life, which was not what he wanted to see.
Zhou Yichen didn’t say the rest of the words, as it was unlucky.
Chu Xi smiled faintly and did not continue what Zhou Yichen said, because...it was already late. "Your Highness, go to bed early. I'll go back first."
Zhou Yichen didn't keep anyone else. He knew Qibai had a hard time these past few days. He had to fight against assassins and deal with many big and small matters.
Fortunately, Qibai lived in the same yard as him, in the house on the right.
The first thing Chu Xi did when she returned to the room was to ask Chu Er to fetch some water. She was going to take a shower. She hadn't taken a shower for several days and was feeling really uncomfortable.
Chu Er is the only person around Chu Xi who knows her identity, so he naturally has to keep watch outside the door.
Chu Xi took a quick shower. There were still many things in the county magistrate's mansion that had not been sorted out. She didn't like sharing private things like bathtubs with others.
All you can do is use a few wooden buckets to collect water and then use a wooden ladle to pour it directly onto your body.
She also washed her hair thoroughly inside and out, leaving the wounds dry.
Chu Er, who was outside, was guarding the door with a long sword in his arms, motionless. Rong Qingzhu came to deliver medicine, but he stopped him with his hand.
"I have something to discuss with your master. Please inform him." Rong Qingzhu explained with a chuckle without any concern. He remembered that Chu Er was Qi Bai's close follower.
"Master...it's not convenient now." Chu Er was not good at lying, but he couldn't tell the private matters of bathing, so he could only vaguely pass it over.
Rong Qingzhu was surprised and felt inconvenient?
He didn't delve into it further, but just gave the best external injury medicine he found out of his bag to Chu Er, and told him to remember to pass it on to Qi Bai.
Chu Er was stunned. He was always good at following Chu Xi's orders, so he didn't know whether he should accept it or not.
Chu Xi opened the door at this moment. She heard the conversation between the two people inside clearly, but she was just using a towel to wring out her hair, so she was delayed for some time.
Her hair was loose, half wet and half dry, hanging on her shoulders. At this moment, she looked even more beautiful, with a beauty that transcended gender.
"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Qingzhu."
Rong Qingzhu lowered his eyes, and the fingers hidden under his sleeves moved slightly, "No need."
The moonlight was very bright, and all the disasters and pains seemed to be gradually fading away as the rain stopped. Just as Chu Xi was about to see the guest off, someone hurried into the yard.
Chu Xi recognized the person who entered the yard at a glance. He was a soldier patrolling the gate of the mansion.
The soldier in armor walked quickly to Chu Xi, clasped his fists and saluted, "General Chu, there is a woman outside who claims to be your fiancée and is here to look for you. I have someone bring her to the mansion, please take a look..."
Obviously, he was not sure whether the people outside were lying or not, so he could only come in to test Chu Xi's intentions.
Rong Qingzhu was stunned. Fiancée...Jiang Zhenyao?
Chu Xi and he had the same idea. Thinking of the letter Rong Qingzhu had taken out before, Chu Xi straightened the robe he had hastily put on and said, "Where is the person? Take me to see him."
Rong Qingzhu subconsciously took a step forward, trying to keep up with Qi Bai's pace, but just as he took a step, he froze.
Qi Bai was going to see his fiancée, so why was he following?
Do you want to disturb their conversation?
Thinking of this, Rong Qingzhu realized his mistake and stopped the loss in time. He did not follow him, but returned to his own residence.

Led by the soldiers, Chu Xi arrived at the guest lobby and saw Jiang Zhenyao wearing a purple riding suit with a long, thin whip wrapped around her waist. Her heroic temperament was no less than that of any man.
She had her hands behind her back and was accompanied by a maid who seemed to know martial arts. She walked lightly and held a long sword in her hand. Her eyes were alert and sharp, and she was very vigilant.
On the way, Chu Xi casually and easily untied the headband wrapped around her arm, gathered her hair together, and tied it up high. As soon as she turned the corner, stepped over the threshold and entered the lobby, the two of them looked at her in unison.
Jiang Zhenyao chuckled and joked, "It seems that I came at a bad time. You rushed here without even drying your hair."
Chu Xi's eyes were gentle, "Fortunately, have you been safe all the way?"
"Tsk, the area around Huzhou is not peaceful. It took some time to get rid of those people, otherwise we should have arrived two days earlier." Jiang Zhenyao sat on the ground under the eaves.
In front of Chu Xi, she never deliberately pretended to be a lady, she just did whatever she felt comfortable with.
Chu Xi didn't think there was anything wrong with her sitting posture, and said with a smile, "If it had been two days earlier, you wouldn't even have been able to enter the city. The rain hadn't stopped by then, and the water in the city would have been above your head."
Jiang Zhenyao had been stationed here with her father for five years, so she naturally knew the biggest problem here and also knew that Qi Bai was not exaggerating.
"It always happens at this time of year!"
"Then why are you here at this time?"
"I couldn't stay in Beijing, so I came to find you!" Jiang Zhenyao blinked and said bluntly and frankly.
