Warm medicine emits fragrance

Qi Weiming immediately shut his mouth and suppressed the sound he was making.

But I couldn't suppress the shock in my heart, and along with the shock came anger.

He walked up to Fan Liuer and whispered, "What are you doing here?"

Before Fan Liuer could answer, he immediately spoke again, his tone certain: "It must have been Li Chenbi who forcibly brought you to the military camp!"

"Has he gone mad? This is a military camp! How can you, a woman, be left in a place like this!"

Knowing that Qi Weiming and Li Chenbi were at odds, Fan Liuer quickly explained, "It's not what you think. He brought me into the military camp because he was worried about me going back."

Qi Weiming didn't believe her. If Li Chenbi truly wanted to send Fan Liuer back, he would have plenty of ways to do so. He must be using this as an excuse to deceive Fan Liuer in order to satisfy his own selfish desires.

"He's definitely up to no good, I'm going to find him right now!" With that, he turned and left, and Fan Liuer couldn't stop him.

Fan Liuer couldn't very well chase after him, so she could only sigh inwardly.

Why are these two still so at odds after all this time?

"Madam, who is this?" Chuixue had only been with Li Chenbi for a short time and this was her first time at the military camp. She had never seen Qi Weiming before.

"He is the adjutant general under General Yan; you can call him Lord Qi."

Fubuki nodded, then asked, "Are you very familiar with this Lord Qi?"

Fan Liuer really couldn't answer this question in a short time.

They weren't exactly close, though they had briefly been husband and wife.

To say they're familiar with each other would be an understatement; they don't really know each other well.

"Hmm...it's alright." Fan Liuer was thirsty and hadn't finished her water yet. She said this as she picked up her water glass and continued drinking.

Chuixue gave an "oh," looked at Fan Liuer, and blinked. "I think this Lord Qi is quite handsome, Madam. Could you find an opportunity for me to get to know him?"

Fan Liuer choked again.

Is it not advisable for her to drink water today?

"Cough cough cough..." She coughed as she put down her water glass, looking at Fubuki, "You've taken a liking to him?"

"I wouldn't say I was attracted to him, but I just thought he was good-looking."

Fan Liuer herself was born into an ordinary family and didn't have a strong sense of class. She didn't think it was a far-fetched thing for a maid like Chuixue to fall for a young general like Qi Weiming. She was just a little embarrassed.

Looking at Chuixue, she wondered how to tell her about the complicated relationship between her and Qi Weiming.

Having traveled extensively throughout the country, Chuixue was far more insightful than Fan Liuer had imagined.

She replied knowingly, "This Lord Qi likes you, Madam, doesn't he?"

Fan Liuer paused for a moment, then nodded, "Well, I guess so."

Fubuki chuckled, "Madam, this is no big deal. As long as you don't like him, that's fine."

"Between a man and a woman, it's just about you loving me and me loving you, that's normal."

Fan Liuer looked at Chuixue. From the first time she saw Chuixue, she felt that Chuixue was different from ordinary women, and now this feeling was becoming stronger.

She thought that Fubuki's future could definitely not just be that of a maid who knew some martial arts; her world should be much broader.

"If you don't mind, I'll introduce you to him sometime."

Fubuki beamed, "Okay, thank you, Madam."

The two sides were on good terms, while the other side was the opposite.

Qi Weiming stormed out of Li Chenbi's tent and headed straight for Yan Qi's tent.

However, he didn't go in, and he couldn't possibly say this in front of others. He was just here to confront Li Chenbi.

After waiting for about 15 minutes without Li Chenbi coming out, the soldiers guarding outside couldn't stand it anymore.

"Lord Qi, why don't you go ahead with your work? I'll send someone to fetch you when Lord Li comes out."

Qi Weiming waved his hand, "It's alright, I'll wait."

The soldier, not wanting to persuade him further, remained silent.

After waiting a while longer, Qi Weiming grew impatient. He had also drunk a large pot of tea before leaving home, and now he felt the urge to use the restroom.

Not knowing how much longer he would be inside, he thought for a moment and said to the soldier, "I'm going to the back to relieve myself. Call me when Lord Li comes out."

"Okay, you can go ahead."

After saying goodbye, Qi Weiming didn't dare go too far, fearing he might run into Li Chenbi later. So he went around to the back of the tents and found a secluded corner between the tents to take care of himself.

As I was about to leave after finishing my business, I heard footsteps outside, followed by a somewhat familiar voice.

He stopped in his tracks.

It was the sound of Yanling.

"Has the matter been clarified?"

Qi Weiming had never heard the other person's voice before. He lowered his voice, which sounded somewhat strange. "Li Chenbi has protected his betrothed wife very well. The people in the Li family are not easy to bribe. So far, we haven't found much information about her, only that her surname is Fan."

Yan Ling's voice was angry, "A bunch of useless trash!"

"However, I found out that she ran a school where she could teach homeless beggars who had no parents to trade for free, and she was also responsible for introducing them to jobs. The school was called Qingliu Anyi Hall."

"Qingliu Anyi Hall?" Yan Ling frowned. "I understand Anyi Hall, but what does Qingliu mean?"

The man said, "We haven't been able to find that yet."

Yan Ling got angry again, his voice tinged with rage, "You can't find anything. What use are you bunch of useless trash to me?"

"Yi Chengzhi, I went to great lengths to place you by my father's side, not so that you could enjoy wealth and luxury for nothing."

Upon hearing this name, Qi Weiming's eyes widened slightly.

Yi Chengzhi, who joined Yan Qi's staff a few months ago, was originally a teacher at a very famous academy in the capital before the uprising. He had taught many scholars who had passed the imperial examinations. After the war broke out, he left the academy.

Later, he sought refuge with Yan Qi. Everyone said that he had long been dissatisfied with the court, which is why he had no choice but to leave the capital.

Qi Weiming was not a scholar and was unaware of his fame until he arrived at the military camp and heard about him from others, thus learning of his status and position among scholars.

At this point, he was viewed with even greater respect, and people held him in awe.

Unexpectedly, this person was from Yanling. Judging from their conversation, Yi Chengzhi was definitely not just a teacher at the academy.

They are investigating Fan Liuer, presumably to use her against Li Chenbi.

Since it concerned Fan Liuer's safety, Qi Weiming listened intently.

"Young Master, don't be anxious. Although we haven't found any more information about her yet, we can make use of An Yitang."

"How to use it?"

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. This school can bring Li Chenbi some good reputation, but if used improperly, it can also bring him thousands of curses."

Yan Ling snorted coldly, "So what if he bears the infamy? Right now is a critical moment in the war. Do you think Father can punish him at this time?"

"Yi Chengzhi, what I need is a way to control Li Chenbi right now and make him obediently work for me. I want you to find out where his wife is hiding, no matter what methods you use!"
