Huilan sat with her legs crossed on the railing of the carriage, holding a wine flask in her hand and drinking sips of the body-tempering spirit wine. The spirit wine is rich in a certain amount of spiritual energy but has no erysipelas. You can drink it regularly without damaging your body.

"I will give my regards to Madam."

General Xu bowed respectfully.

"It seems that you have something to say, so there is no need to be so polite. The old general is loyal and patriotic, so there is no need for me to be so generous. I am here to have fun with the prince."

Huilan smiled and treated General Xu with more respect and courtesy. He had a strong golden light of merit and virtue, and his righteousness should not be underestimated.

"The general is here to apologize. I had a bad attitude and ignored your ability. The people below also acted based on my face. Zhang Yu said something that he shouldn't have said. I apologize to you on his behalf. I hope you will not forget the little things."

People have passed."

General Xu saluted again with a sincere and respectful attitude.

Huilan's face was calm and indifferent, "You really love these soldiers and are willing to bow your head for them. They are lucky to have a general like you."

After he finished speaking, he chuckled and continued clearly: "He didn't drink the medicine, so this morning was enough time for him to develop the poison, and he will die after three hours."

General Xu was shocked. It turned out that Huilan had known the power of the poison barrier for a long time and had given them the opportunity in advance.

"I have long said that Mrs. Xi is a capable person and bringing her along will be of great help to us, but we must be smart and deserve to suffer."

Li Chengze got out of the carriage and jumped to the ground, his expression as cold as ice, and his face was serious and condensed.

None of the surrounding soldiers dared to speak. They all lowered their heads and said nothing. They were glad that they had not acted wisely and drank the medicine obediently.

"It's the general's fault. It's the general's lax governance. Please punish him. Please, Madam, please save him."

General Xu lifted up his robe and was about to kneel down. Huilan held him up and held him steady, preventing him from moving at all.

"Lan'er, otherwise you give that brat a chance and he will be punished as you please."

Li Chengze rubbed his brows and begged her in a soft voice.

"Okay, for the sake of His Highness and the General, I can give him a chance."

"Pei Liang gave him medicine."

Huilan turned around and returned to the carriage.

Pei Liang took out a jade bottle and poured him a pill. It was a detoxification pill, a medicine specially used to detoxify mortals. It can completely remove most poisons.

General Xu took the medicine with both hands and bowed again, "Thank you, madam, and thank you, Your Highness."

"Take good care of your people. What you need is to obey orders and prohibitions, not to be a bunch of smart fools. If Zhang Yu doesn't obey orders, when he gets better, give him ten blows with the military stick."

Li Chengze angrily warned General Xu that if he treats other people's good intentions as donkeys' liver and lungs, there will be trouble sooner or later if there is no internal unity.

"Promise, I will obey your orders."

General Xu immediately straightened his back, lowered his head and responded loudly.

"Go ahead."

After they left, Li Chengze rubbed his brows angrily, "These guys are difficult to lead, and it's not easy to convince me. Lan'er, thanks to you always helping me, without you I'd be alone."

"It all depends on people. We have three years to take root here. I believe you will be able to do well, just like you did in Jiangnan, wouldn't you also do well?"

Huilan had never laid a hand on Jiangnan's affairs, and had no involvement in anything other than the assassination. However, Li Chengze still investigated everything, and the work was very beautiful, relaxed and measured.

"Okay, I will definitely do it well."

With Huilan's encouragement, Li Chengze felt that there was always someone who believed in him and expected him to change for the better, and he also had motivation and goals in his heart.

Looking at Huilan's clean and charming face, Li Chengze reached out and touched her face. Huilan tilted her head and smiled at him, "I don't bear any grudge against General Xu. It's normal for him not to trust me very much. It's something a general should consider."

It’s more comprehensive, no one can be trusted.

In fact, I admire him very much. He is upright, loyal, and a good general. You can have a good communication with him and see if you can be friends.

Or let him appreciate you and recognize you, that's enough. Don't expect a loyal general to switch to the prince. This is a betrayal of the emperor and is not advisable for a military general."

It is actually difficult to win over generals, otherwise the emperor's chair would still be stable.

"I understand. Are you tired? Let's take a nap."

"No, I found that there are a lot of medicinal herbs here, and I plan to record them. You can go about your business."

Huilan is very obsessed with medicinal herbs, but it is not suitable to pick them now, but she can record them and study them later.

"good."

"Oh, tell them not to drink the water here, it may be poisonous. If there is not enough water, go look for water vines and bamboos. The water in the inner core is drinkable."

"Okay, Pei Xin, go and explain and take someone to find him."

"yes."

Li Chengze looked back at Huilan, calm and composed. Maybe she didn't even know that in his heart, she was not only his lover, but also a good teacher and helpful friend. With her by his side, he felt safe and secure.

Huilan drew the patterns of the medicinal herbs and took notes carefully. Later, she would personally test the properties and pharmacology of the medicinal herbs to ensure that they were absolutely accurate.

Zhang Yu was fine in the afternoon after taking the medicine and was active and active, but General Xu suppressed him and beat him with a military stick in front of all the soldiers because he disobeyed the military order.

General Xu also drank the medicine. He didn't say not to drink it. This was a military order. Whoever allowed you to disobey it unjustly should be punished by Li Chengze unjustly.

Zhang Yu was beaten without saying a word. After the beating, he stood up and said, "General, I'm going to apologize to my wife. It was my fault and I deserved to be beaten."

"Go ahead."

Zhang Yu came to the carriage, cupped his fists and bowed, "General Zhang Yu is here to apologize to Madam Xi. I was watching people under the door, disobeying military orders and being clever, so I am here to apologize to Madam."

Huilan opened the curtain and glanced at him, her attitude was sincere, her eyes were clear and shy, she couldn't help but nodded slightly, these soldiers were very cute.

"That's all, because you are willing to repent and apologize for your first offense, I will spare you this time. Go back and drink this packet of medicine. This poison is more serious than you think."

"Yes, thank you madam for not remembering the faults of villains. I will eventually realize my mistake and will never dare to do it again."

Zhang Yu knelt on the ground and scratched his head naively, blushing in embarrassment.

"Go ahead and go find water with them. You can't drink the water here. To be cautious, eat the food we brought ourselves and don't light a fire. There are many tribesmen living in seclusion here. Be careful of getting into trouble."

"Yes, general, I know where you can drink the water from bamboo, and you can drink water from water vines."

"Go ahead."

Zhang Yu was forgiven and ran away happily with a sigh of relief.

The reason why Huilan forgave him so easily was because he was honest about his mistakes and could correct them. He had nothing slick and annoying about him. He was an authentic military commander. If I don't like you, I won't criticize you. If I'm wrong, I'll apologize.
