The deputy general was stunned when he saw Shen Yan again.
He’s back so soon? Did he set off for our military camp right after returning to the stockaded villages?
Is the epidemic situation in the 18 Stockaded Villages so severe? Are they forced to seek help from the General because the disease has spread to the entire village?
The top three chiefs of the 18 Stockaded Villages were as influential as their General. Any of their names could shake the world.
“Chief Shen, Chief Er, and Chief Ai, please wait a moment. I’ll invite the General here.”
The deputy general was ready to call for the General when Shen Yan stopped him.
Was there a need for a deputy general to call for Qian Jiyun personally? Shen Yan felt that he could have instructed a soldier to do that instead.
The deputy general turned around and asked Shen Yan, “Chief Shen, do you need anything else?”
“Deputy General Liu, may I ask if there is a lady with the surname An in your camp?” Er Ning asked with a smile.
“Hm?!” Deputy General Liu felt goosebumps looking at his smile.
An imposing ruler like him should possess a majestic aura and a solemn expression. Must he smile like that and creep me out? There’s a conspiracy! I can smell a conspiracy!
“Are you here for… Miss An?” he asked carefully.
Have they come to seek the Princess Consort, not the General’s assistance? Besides, their attitude is too…
Are they trying to abduct our Princess Consort? But they don’t know about the prescription, right? They shouldn’t be here to abduct her. I’m overthinking it. Yes, I must be overthinking it.
“Yes, we’re here to look for Miss An. Where—”
“Miss An gave us medicine generously to resolve our emergency. We’re here to express our gratitude.”
Ai Qi’s question was interrupted by Shen Yan. He glanced at Ai Qi reproachfully.
It was better to keep the Young Master’s identity secret from outsiders. She did not even mention this matter to them. It was obvious she did not want others to discover her identity.
Ai Qi immediately lowered his head and said nothing.
He was too anxious to see the Young Master and forgot that this was Qian Jiyun’s territory.
“I see. I heard Deputy General Sun mention it.” Deputy General Liu nodded, feeling a little regretful.
It would be great if the Princess Consort was here. The 18 Stockaded Villages would owe the General a favor.
Unfortunately, the Princess Consort did not return. He also could not reveal her identity as the Princess Consort as it was not the time for it.
“Miss An is not in the military camp now. I’m afraid you can’t see her for the time being.”
“What?!” Ai Qi was disappointed. He even scolded his son in his heart.
What a useless brat! If he mentioned it earlier and we came earlier, wouldn’t we be able to meet our Young Master?
He has too little experience. He should have mentioned it quickly!
Ai Lu, who was looking for herbs outside, sneezed loudly. He touched the tip of his nose and muttered, “Who’s scolding me?”
What bad timing! The Young Master is not in the military camp!
