However, Tang Jinghong didn’t need to help. At noon, the secret guard sent back a letter from Fang Yuchen. The letter described the battle between the two parties last night and the fact that Fang Yuchen would arrive at night.

After Tang Jinghong read the letter, he immediately handed it to Chu Qingzhi with a happy expression. “Qingzhi, take a look.”

Chu Qingzhi read the letter quickly and smiled. “It’s a good start.”

Tang Jinghong smiled. “Yes.”

The two of them looked in the direction of the border and were in a very good mood.

At the military camp of the northern border.

The fake Lord of the Northern Border was in an extremely bad mood. He was like a lion that had been infuriated. “Why aren’t they here yet?”

Fan Lewen, who was in charge of collecting information, said nervously, “Your Highness, General Gou was attacked by animals, which delayed their journey by half a day.”

The fake Lord of the Northern Border’s expression changed when he heard that. His face was as black as an inkstone. “What animal attack?”

Fan Lewen explained what happened in detail, then immediately lowered his head in fear. According to his past experience, the Lord of the Northern Border would definitely fly into a rage.

As expected, the fake Lord of the Northern Border could no longer suppress his anger. At this moment, he felt as if the entire world was against him. In a fit of anger, he flipped the table. “Hurry up and find out where they are. Tell them to speed up the march.”

Fan Lewen cupped his hands and replied hurriedly, “Yes, Your Highness.”

As soon as Fan Lewen left, the fake Lord of the Northern Border summoned his subordinate. He restrained his anger and asked, “Have you found the whereabouts of Qin Fengnian and Qin Yajun?”

The subordinate lowered his head. “Your Highness, our men are looking everywhere. 1 believe there will be news soon.”

The fake Lord of the Northern Border’s anger, which had been suppressed with great difficulty, showed signs of erupting again. Even the scar on his face became more terrifying. “Useless!!”

The subordinate knelt on one knee in fear.

The fake Lord of the Northern Border took two deep breaths. Now was the time he needed people the most. Otherwise, he would kill these useless people to vent his anger. “Where is Tang Jinghong now?”

The subordinate replied nervously, “Tang Jinghong is as elusive as ever. Our people haven’t found him yet.”

The fake Lord of the Northern Border was so angry that he didn’t know what to say. His subordinates seemed to have suddenly become useless.

Or perhaps, it was not that they had become useless, but the opponent he faced was getting stronger!

The fake Lord of the Northern Border roared, “Hurry up and investigate Tang Jinghong’s whereabouts.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” The subordinate hurriedly ran away.

The fake Lord of the Northern Border took the map and studied it carefully. It was said that Tang Jinghong was an undefeated legend, but he swore that he would change this legend.

In the northern border city.

After Li Yuanshao read the letter that Tang Jinghong had given him, he sat on the chair in a daze for a long time.

“I didn’t expect them to be Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi!”

“They clearly don’t like them at all!”

“This is unbelievable!”

When he came back to his senses, he couldn’t help but be overwhelmed with happiness. Tang Jinghong was a trusted aide of the Emperor. With his support, his position as the Lord of the Northern Border would be half secured.

Now that the Lord of the Northern Border had declared rebellion, many people that were attracted to the Lord of the Northern Border were panicking. If he used this opportunity to rope these people in, it would definitely make it easier to run the northern border in the future.

As he thought about it, he changed his clothes and began to visit these people.

At night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

Chu Qingzhi was lying on a tree branch. She had one hand under her head and the other on her abdomen. One of her legs was bent, and the other was dangling and swaying gently. She was very relaxed and did not look like she was about to fight a war at all.

“Qingzhi, catch.” Tang Jinghong walked under the tree and threw something at Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Qingzhi reached out and grabbed it.

It was a big apple. The bright red skin glowed under the moonlight. At the same time, it emitted a rich apple fragrance. It was obvious that it was delicious.

“Jinghong, where did you get the apple?” Chu Qingzhi asked and took a bite.

When Tang Jinghong saw Chu Qingzhi eating the apple, he couldn’t help but smile. “I saw it when 1 was wandering around nearby. Is it sweet?”

“It’s crunchy and sweet.” Chu Qingzhi took a second bite.

Cxhu Qingzhi changed the topic. “Jinghong, how long are you planning to fight this war?”

“Three days at most!” Tang Jinghong placed his hands behind his back. He was wearing a black brocade robe and stood tall. Under the moonlight, he seemed to have grown taller, looking especially domineering and mighty.

Chu Qingzhi was surpised. “That quick?”

“Three days is more than enough.” Tang Jinghong was very confident. When he said this, he seemed to be glowing.

Are you sure you’re not joking with me? The fake Lord of the Northern Border has prepared for a war for a long time, and you’re going to destroy him in three days?

Soon, dense footsteps could be heard.

“Are they here?” Chu Qingzhi sat up. She quickly finished the apple and jumped down the tree.

“They are here.” Tang Jinghong nodded and brought Chu Qingzhi to meet up with the army.

The army of more than 100,000 soldiers was especially majestic, but the military discipline was strict. It looked very orderly and not messy at all. The torches they were holding reached out to as far as the eye could see and, in the dark night, it looked like a dragon.

Fang Yuchen had just dismounted when he saw Tang Jinghong and a beautiful girl walking over. He immediately greeted, “Greetings, General Tang.”

Tang Jinghong reached out to help Fang Yuchen up. “General Fang, you’ve done a good job.” Then, he introduced Chu Qingzhi. “This lady is Chu Qingzhi, my fiancee.”

Fang Yuchen’s excited expression instantly turned into a look of disbelief.

General Tang actually has a fiancee?

Tang Jinghong was speechless.

You don’t have to be so surprised, do you?

Chu Qingzhi smiled and bowed to Fang Yuchen. “Greetings, General Fang.”

Fang Yuchen hurriedly helped Chu Qingzhi up and said politely, “It’s our honor to meet you, Miss Chu.”

Chu Qingzhi followed their general all the way to the northern border. This was not something that ordinary girls could do and was enough to win the respects of the soldiers present.

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “General Fang, you’re too polite. We’re family, so there’s no need to be so formal.”

Fang Yuchen was a northern man in his early forties. He was tall and muscular, and his armor looked very mighty. He smiled heartily and said, “Then 1’11 do as you said, Miss Chu..”
