Border Cook

Chapter 611 Thanks

Xia Mingyue looked at Yin Lingyou in surprise.

Yin Lingyou had already thought of a response, and he just said quietly, "I traveled all over the place, seeing patients everywhere, but without anything in my hands, how could I have lived to such an old age?"

"Besides, I have often treated the wives of wealthy families in the backyard many times before, and I have seen many things that are disgusting to the eyes. Naturally, I have many different views on wealthy families than ordinary people. I can't say that I am afraid of them, but I am very disgusted with them."

"Madam Xia, when you go to the capital this time, you will inevitably have to deal with many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital. You are usually busy with current affairs and have no time to do some behind-the-scenes things. Unlike those ladies and women in the inner house who have nothing to do every day and only know how to compete with each other all day long, you will inevitably suffer losses. Bringing these things with you can also ensure your safety."

It turned out to be the case.

It is because I have seen darkness that I lit the light for her to protect her.

"Thank you, Doctor Yin." Xia Mingyue felt warm in her heart and thanked him solemnly, bowing to Yin Lingyou in a proper manner.

Yin Lingyou suddenly became unhappy, "You are treating me as an outsider by saying these polite words?"

"How could that be?" Xia Mingyue smiled playfully, "It's just that Doctor Yin is old, so I have to show him some respect. How can that be considered as being polite?"

"That's more like it." Yin Lingyou's expression softened a lot, but he still rolled his eyes. "Besides, when you get to the capital, don't forget to find some rare and delicious food and bring it back. It will also allow us country folk to taste the delicacies of the capital."

"Of course." Xia Mingyue agreed readily, "I will definitely pick the best ones and bring them back to Doctor Yin!"

"That's more like it." Yin Lingyou snorted coldly and handed the rolled-up paper in his hand to Xia Mingyue. "I just introduced so many things to you. I guess you can't remember them all at once. Here are the names and effects written according to the numbers, as well as the methods of use and taboos. Please write them down carefully, so that you don't forget them and use them the wrong way. Not only will it be useless, but it will also cause trouble for yourself."

"Yes, I'll remember it right now." Xia Mingyue responded with a smile.

"When you go to the capital this time, Xiao Cui will accompany you. Although she is not very useful now, she can still treat headaches, fevers, and injuries. I will also ask her to bring a few more medical books so that she can learn more on the way. I think she can help you."

Yin Lingyou said, "Anyway, be careful along the way."

"Yes, I will be careful." Xia Mingyue still responded.

"But you don't have to be overly cautious. You need to be tough when you need to be tough, and take action when you need to. If it really doesn't work, we have something that can protect ourselves or hurt others. Many times, we don't have to be so rigid. We need to learn and apply it flexibly and act smartly..."

Xia Mingyue, "..."

Also noted down.

Although there is nothing wrong with what he said, it sounds a bit weird coming from a doctor...

Xia Mingyue was busy packing her things, while Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji were also busy.

It was necessary to arrange a temporary handover of military affairs, and to check the route to the capital in advance and count the accompanying escort personnel to ensure that everything was safe. Especially in terms of the route, although it was possible to walk along the shortest official road, it was very skillful to know which things could be seen by the people of Jinweiguo, which things could not be seen by them, and which things must be seen by them.

In short, it is necessary to show that the people of the Great Zhou are rich and the country is strong, and it is also necessary to prevent the Jin Wei Kingdom from knowing too much through this visit to the capital for peace talks and tribute.

And on the way, they also need to consider the travel speed, the response strategies when encountering blocked roads and heavy snow, and the alternative routes, so as to demonstrate their adaptability as people escorting the delegation.

In this way, the ability of the commander of the Western Frontier Army can be demonstrated indirectly, making the people of Jin Weiguo not only feel timid, but also respectful.

This was not an easy task. Even though Lu Qiyan was in charge of this matter at the time, he still stayed up for two sleepless nights and finally worked out a very detailed plan and roadmap, which he handed over to Fan Honghui.

After taking a look and listening to Lu Qiyan's explanation, Fan Honghui agreed with it. He then sent someone to deliver the route map 600 miles to the capital as soon as possible and asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare for some matters in advance.

In addition, people were sent to notify the post stations along the way and the local officials of the roads, states, and prefectures along the way to ensure that they would be picked up and cared for along the way to avoid any mishaps.

"Although we are escorting the Jinwei Kingdom's envoys to Beijing within the borders of our Great Zhou Kingdom, there is no danger to speak of. However, we still need to be careful about everything. You and Yunji will have to work hard along the way." Fan Honghui said earnestly.

"It's my job, so there's no need to worry about hard work." Lu Qiyan said with a smile, "In fact, the commander made this arrangement to give Yun Ji and me a chance."

Basically, there won't be any major mistakes when escorting the diplomatic envoys to Beijing. After making the hard trip, it can be considered as a reward and a credit.

The Western Frontier Army has been fighting for many years, and because of the constant wars, the generals have never had the opportunity to return to Beijing to report on their work and receive commendations from the emperor. However, by escorting the delegation to Beijing and being able to meet the emperor, there is a possibility that they will be rewarded by the emperor.

This is also the reason why Fan Honghui chose Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji to take on such an important task.

Seeing that Lu Qiyan was a smart man who saw through everything, Fan Honghui did not hide anything anymore and just smiled. "First of all, it's because you and Yunji are going together, so I can feel relieved. Second, it's because you and Yunji are worth it."

The fact that the Western Frontier Army has been able to reorganize to such an extent, achieve the results it has now, and force the Jin Wei Kingdom to take the initiative to negotiate peace is inseparable from the joint efforts of the entire Western Frontier Army.

But among them, Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji made the greatest contributions.

Wouldn't it be unfair if people who work so hard don't get the rewards they deserve?

I am afraid that the rest of the soldiers who fought hard against the enemies will also lose hope, and feel that no matter how bravely they fight against the enemies and serve the country, they will never be able to succeed.

Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji both came from unknown backgrounds. The fact that they were able to rise to the top through military merit is the best reflection of fairness and the principle that there must be rewards for every effort, and it will also give others more hope.

Fan Honghui's move was based on multiple calculations.

Lu Qiyan understood Fan Honghui's intention, but he was also grateful for Fan Honghui's kindness. He bowed to Fan Honghui and saluted, "Yun Ji and I thank you, Commander!"

Fan Honghui reached out and patted Lu Qiyan on the shoulder. "On your way back to Beijing this time, no matter what the road ahead is, you will definitely pass by a place..."
