Bai Zhi drove the carriage out of the medical camp. When she passed by the kitchen camp, Zhu Si, who was busy with his work, saw Bai Zhi sitting in front of the carriage. Zhu Si’s face changed and immediately pulled Hu Feng then pointed his finger towards Bai Zhi: “Look at that boy, he looks so much like Bai Zhi.”
Hu Feng gave Zhu Si a bad look and coldly said: “You know that he is a boy? Where does she resemble him? I don’t think they look the same. Just get back to work!”
When Zhu Si was scolded, he scratched his head in confusion: What’s wrong with this guy? Did he eat gunpowder in the morning?
Hu Feng took a glance at the carriage again. His frowned eyebrows knitted even more. Marshal Wang Jinghai will arrive in 2 days. In these 3 years, did he changed?
He and Wang Jinghai were not familiar. At that time, when he entered the battlefield at the age of 13. He served as a vice general under Wang Jinghai. Wang Jinghai was a very strict old man. Under him, he never felt that he was an imperial prince. He felt like he was not any different from the ordinary soldier.Later on, he gradually understood his intentions and respected him, but he was still not close to him. He was a marshal, he only gave orders. As his vice general, it was his responsibility to execute his orders. Their relationship has always been between the superiors and subordinates.
Years passed by, when he turned 15 years old, he had been killing their enemies for two years straight, so he had established his own prestige in the army. At that time, when the Xiye Army invaded and the war broke out. To boost the morale of the soldiers, Marshal Wang dragged his sick body and fought with the generals to kill the enemy.
In the end, because he was old and seriously ill at that time, he couldn’t persist for too long. When he retreated, he fell off his horse. At that time, there was an enemy general nearby.
It was him, Chu Yan, who rushed to save him and cut the enemy general under his sword. He also suffered at that time, that’s why he had a sword scar on his back.
But even though he saved Marshal Wang’s life, he still didn’t say a word of gratitude to him, nor did he get close to him because of this.
He didn’t understand why the relationship between people was so complicated and elusive.
Later, when Marshal Wang returned to the capital. He became in-charged of all his 150,000 troops at the northwestern border. He was promoted from vice general to general. All the soldiers were satisfied with him, and so his reputation became much higher than Marshal Wang.
Looking at the respect and admiration of the vice generals and soldiers to him, he gradually realized the reason why Marshal Wang was so strict with him. He hoped that he could stand firm in the army and get the real support of the soldiers. In this way, his future path in the army will be easier.
Since then, he had never seen Marshal Wang again, nor heard if he get better.

After Bai Zhi and Duan Cheng left the military camp, they went straight to the forest that Hu Feng mentioned. The 12 hours effect of the medicine now passed by, so she was wondering if Zhou Gang and Fu Zheng had woke up.
When the carriage could no longer enter the forest, Bai Zhi tied the horse to the nearby tree.
When Duan Cheng saw Bai Zhi carried his cloth bag on his body, he couldn’t help but laugh: “Don’t you find it heavy? Who do you think will steal your things in the middle of nowhere?”
Bai Zhi smiled and answered: “All the things here are important. I cannot let it leave my body.”
Duan Cheng shrugged his shoulders, took a few steps forward, looked around, and then said to Bai Zhi: “It’s going to be winter soon, so the leaves on the tree have all fallen out. Where can we find herbs in here?”
Bai Zhi replied: “There are many types of herbs. Some like to grow in spring, some like to grow in summer, and so of course, some also like to grow in autumn and winter.”
