Chapter 999: Caution is the best

Lu Zhaoling thought it would be better for her to make things clear with General Qiu.

From now on, General Qiu could not hide this from anyone except her.

Some people may also have doubts, wondering if they will be controlled if they have such talismans on their bodies.

Lu Zhaoling doesn't have to draw it.

She actually knew that Subei's situation was too critical.

Not only are the barbarians eyeing this place, the descendants of the previous dynasty are still waiting for the opportunity to restore their country. There's also that Hua Mudan who's eyeing the Qiu family, and the third prince Zhou Yi has been making plans here in Subei for several years.

If General Qiu doesn't protect himself well, when he is besieged from all sides, Lu Zhaoling is afraid that he will always have a chance to be exploited.

If someone else really took over the house, the consequences would be too serious for General Qiu to issue any orders in this position.

So she wanted to protect General Qiu as much as possible.

However, she was sincerely protecting him, but she didn’t know whether General Qiu believed her or not.

General Qiu was silent for a moment, then said to Lu Zhaoling, "Would you mind giving me some consideration?"

"Of course."

When Lu Zhaoling heard him say this, she felt relieved.

Just be willing to be cautious.

This kind of thing was no small matter to General Qiu. If he agreed to it right away, she would think that it was too careless for a general to do so.

"But I have a physical strengthening talisman here. If you use it, the general will recover as soon as possible. Would you like to buy it?"

Lu Zhaoling changed the subject.

This time, General Qiu immediately answered, "Buy."

That's good. You should consider carefully what you need to consider and act decisively when you need to.

I just don't know how General Qiu could raise a daughter like Qiu Yunzhen. Maybe he couldn't take care of her? It's not easy for a rough man to raise a daughter?

No, Qiu Yunzhen is actually quite good and very straightforward.

Lu Zhaoling gave him the talisman and told him that there were disaster victims coming outside, so General Qiu prepared to get out of bed to deal with it.

Lu Zhaoling then took Lu Song and retreated.

"Junior Brother Lu, you should go to sleep for a while. We will be returning to the city today." Lu Zhaoling said to Lu Song.

Lu Song nodded.

In the commander's camp, General Qiu was asking Lu Zhaoling in detail about what happened after he arrived in Subei City. He asked very clearly.

In this way, I can find out everything that has happened at home recently.

Hearing that the third and fourth brothers were bewitched by Hua Mudan and made such a fool of themselves, General Qiu was very angry.

"Let the third and fourth brothers come to the camp later. I think it's hard to deal with the snow in the stables, so let them stay with the horses. This will prevent them from wondering whether I am a woman or not."

Master Qiu lit a candle each for the third and fourth sons in his heart.

It is not an easy task to take care of the stables in the camp in this kind of weather. The third and fourth brothers will be in a lot of trouble now.

But they deserved it.

"According to what you said, Miss Lu not only saved me, but also saved our entire family." General Qiu said.

"Not only that," Mr. Qiu then told me about his time in Shuning City, "In fact, Miss Lu's brother Lu Anfan also saved my life. If it weren't for that child, I would have died in Shuning City now."

When he told General Qiu about Shu Ning's situation, he felt more at ease.

"I have also heard about the Sun family. The camp actually has business dealings with the Sun family. Some sick and dead horses need to be replaced, and sometimes there is horse plague. The Sun family has experience in this area, and I have dealt with the young master of the Sun family twice."

"He is a very opinionated and intelligent young man. If he is on good terms with Miss Lu, it means he thinks highly of her."

"Exactly."

With so many aspects proving Lu Zhaoling's character, General Qiu now has a clear idea of ​​what kind of person he is.

At this time, outside the camp, there was a sea of ​​people.

When the military advisor and Zhou Shiyue came over, they didn't expect that so many people would come.

When the military advisor came over, he told him that the surrounding mountain villages and towns were still some distance away from Subei City, but closer to the main camp. If there were any disaster victims, they should have come from those places.

But it’s unlikely that every village and town was affected by the disaster, right?

So he deduced that there would not be many victims coming, and originally expected at most a dozen or twenty or thirty people. However, when he came over, he saw that there were actually hundreds of people.

The military advisor was shocked.

The soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to let the victims in, so they just guarded through the gate.

But at this moment, the victims were already impatient, and perhaps because they were hungry or cold, they could not wait outside any longer and were making a lot of noise.

"Aren't you soldiers protecting our people? Why aren't you letting us in now?"

"That's right. We have walked for two days to get here with our family. Now we are hungry, cold and tired. Look at us, we can hardly stand. And you still let us wait here. What are we waiting for? Can't you just let us go in first?"

"Military, please be kind and let us go in and have a bowl of hot water first. Let us sit down and rest our feet."

"Look at my father. He is almost frozen to death. If my father dies here, will you have a clear conscience?"

Those people were all wearing cotton-padded jackets, but it looked like they were worn out and patched.

Some of them not only look old, but also thin.

Some wore fur hats, while others wore only thin cloth shoes.

There were signs of frostbite on their faces and their lips were pale and dry.

Some people were supporting each other, some were carrying children on their backs, some were carrying loads on their shoulders, some were holding things or children, and there were also a few carts pulled by ropes with some miscellaneous items tied on them.

They really look like poor people.

Zhou Shiyue looked behind them.

Messy traces meandering into the distance.

This is how we got here.

The soldiers guarding the gate also looked reluctant, but they kept repeating it.

"Without the general's order, we cannot let outsiders into the camp at will. Wait a moment!"

"We heard that General Qiu is a good man! He will definitely let us in!"

Someone shouted, and immediately many people echoed him.

The military advisor said to Zhou Shiyue, "Your Highness, please don't go over there yet."

He went over to see what was going on.

There are about a hundred people here, this is no joke.

"Military advisor, be careful." Zhou Shiyue nodded.

The military advisor hurried over.

"The military advisor is here!"

The soldiers quickly made way. The military advisor looked at the people, stood inside the door, and spoke in a loud voice.

"Fellow villagers, I am the military advisor of the Subei Camp."

"Could you tell me, fellow villagers, what disaster has happened to you? Why did you leave the village with your family and come here?"

"You want to enter the camp, do you want to rest and relax, or do you have other plans?"

The common people all stood on tiptoe to see the general more clearly.

Someone shouted, "You are a military advisor, what nonsense are you asking? What disaster have we suffered? Of course it was a snowstorm!"
