Dong Jiafu closed the door, turned around and pointed to the medicine box beside her, "Let me apply the medicine to you."

"I'm fine..."

Cui Qiyan was interrupted by Dong Jiafu as soon as he opened his mouth, "You don't have to hide it from me. Although you said that the blood on your body was someone else's, no matter how good your martial arts are, it was a war. Facing so many people, how could you not get hurt at all?"

"I really can't hide anything from you." Cui Qi Yan smiled helplessly.

Dong Jiafu put the medicine box on the table and said, "If you know it, don't hide it. Let me see where the injury is."

Dong Jiafu took the golden wound medicine and turned around, and found that Cui Qiyan had taken off his shirt at some point, revealing his strong upper body.

"You..." Dong Jiafu was so embarrassed that the thing in her hand almost fell to the ground.

Cui Qiyan smiled harmlessly, "You want to see it, so you can see it more clearly this way."

Dong Jiafu didn't look at his face and tried her best to show her professionalism as a doctor.

The wounds on his body were clearly exposed, on his chest and back, but fortunately they were all minor injuries.

When Dong Jiafu was applying medicine on his chest, she could always feel his breath spraying on her face, making her unable to concentrate and the temperature on her face getting higher and higher.

Cui Qi Yan looked down at her soft neck, feeling her fingers lightly touching her skin, and felt a little distracted.

Just as he was about to get closer, Dong Jiafu suddenly stood up, and with a "bang", her head hit his chin, almost knocking him onto the bed.

Dong Jiafu was also startled. Seeing him holding his chin, she hurried over to check, "Are you okay?"

"Woo..." Cui Qiyan put down his hand, "The person is still here."

He looked at her, "Does your head hurt?"

Dong Jiafu touched her head and shook her head.

"I'm glad you don't feel any pain." Cui Qiyan's teeth felt a little sour.

Dong Jiafu felt guilty, "Turn around, it's time to apply medicine to the wound on your back."

Cui Qi Yan turned away dejectedly and talked about business while she was applying the medicine.

"Lu Siheng has also come to Xizhou."

Dong Jiafu paused, "Why would he come? Is it for his father?"

"He came with reinforcements on the orders of His Majesty."

"Have you met?"

"No, I left before he came into town."

Dong Jiafu stopped talking and applied medicine to some wounds on his back.

"Okay." Dong Jiafu put the medicine back into the medicine box.

After Cui Qiyan got dressed, she put on her medicine box and said, "I'm going back."

"I send you."

The two men walked out, Cui Qiyan opened the door, and saw Ji Bai standing outside, raising his hand and about to knock on the door.

Seeing Dong Jiafu in the room, Ji Bai quickly turned around and was about to leave, "I didn't know Miss Dong was here, sorry to bother you..."

"Stop," Cui Qiyan called out to the man, "What's going on?"

Ji Bai lowered his head and slowly turned around, "My Lord, the Third Young Master Lu from the Marquis Zhongjing's Mansion is downstairs and wants to see you and Miss Dong."

"He came pretty quickly." Cui Qiyan asked Dong Jiafu, "Did you see him?"

"Since everyone is here, we have to meet them."

The two went downstairs and saw Lu Siheng standing there.

Lu Siheng stood with his hands behind his back, looked at them and smiled, "The three of us are really destined to meet here."

Cui Qiyan walked down the stairs and said faintly, "Not only with us, but also with Mr. Lu and Miss Du."

He even knew about what happened between him and Du Manting. Lu Siheng looked at Dong Jiafu behind him without thinking too much about it.

"I heard from General Sui that when the northern barbarians invaded, Prince Cui also went to help. Why did he leave without waiting for me to enter the city?"

"I just did what I should do as a citizen of the Great Yin. Since Master Lu is here to protect Xizhou City, there is no need for me to worry too much."

Lu Siheng raised his eyebrows, "I didn't know that Prince Cui recognized my abilities so much."

"Lord Lu, you are overthinking. I believe in His Majesty."

Listening to their meaningful verbal battle, Dong Jiafu found an opportunity to speak: "Why don't we sit over there and talk?"

Lu Siheng turned his gaze and smiled softly, "Jiafu is still considerate."

Cui Qi Yan turned his face away and strode to the square table and sat down.

Lu Siheng was talking to Dong Jiafu on his own. "By the way, why did you come to such a far place like Xizhou?"

Dong Jiafu followed him over and sat down, answering, "My mother is sick and needs a kind of herb to cure her illness. This kind of herb is only available in Xizhou."

"What kind of herb is it? I'll also ask around in the military camp for you." Lu Siheng stopped joking.

There are many people in the military camp, maybe there will be clues. Dong Jiafu said frankly: "Snow Spirit Grass, and it will take no more than twelve hours to pick it."

"Okay, I'll make a note of that." Lu Siheng glanced at Cui Qiyan who was drinking tea over there, "Did he come with you?"

Dong Jiafu thought for a moment and said, "I guess so. My senior brother and I left the capital first. He was a few days late, but we entered Xizhou City together."

"How many days have you been here? How is your search for herbs?"

"This is the fourth day. I heard that most of the locals go to Baxian Mountain to pick this herb. My brothers and their friends have been looking for it for two days, but the place is too big and difficult to walk, so they haven't found it yet."

"Don't be too anxious. Once we've repelled the Northern Di people and rescued... my father, I'll bring some people to help you look for him."

"Thank you." Dong Jiafu said, "We have also heard about Lord Lu's story. Did you come here specifically to save him?"

She knew that Lu Siheng and his father did not have a very good relationship, but blood is thicker than water after all, and the father-son relationship could not be severed no matter what. Now that Marquis Zhongjing was in trouble, it was understandable that he was anxious to rescue him.

Lu Siheng was silent for a moment, "I just don't want him to die at the hands of the Beidi people."

Cui Qiyan said sternly, "Lord Lu is still in their hands. They will definitely not stop here and will have more tricks. How many troops did His Majesty give you this time?"

"One hundred thousand."

"How many people are there in the Xizhou Army now?"

"I know what you want to ask. I came from the military camp. Our troops total about 250,000, while the Northern Di have at least 100,000 more than us. There is indeed a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, but it is not impossible to win."

"What are your plans?" Cui Qiyan asked.

Lu Siheng said in a deep voice: "I want to visit the Beidi military camp tonight and rescue my father first, so that I won't be controlled by the enemy later."

Cui Qiyan frowned, "You just arrived in Xizhou and don't know the situation in the Beidi military camp at all. It's too dangerous to go there rashly. You might be discovered by them before you find Lord Lu. That's their territory, you can't just enter or leave as you please."

"I understand. They will definitely not let my father go easily. We have to take this risk. They just lost the battle today and haven't figured out my background yet. This is an opportunity."

"How many people do you plan to take with you?"

"We don't need too many people. Twenty good men will be enough. I will go in and find them myself, and let them support us outside." Lu Siheng had already made a plan.

"It's not appropriate for you to break into the enemy camp alone," Cui Qiyan thought for a moment, "Ji Bai and I will go with you. The three of us will be faster than you alone, and you will need someone to help you rescue people from the camp."
