The cold husband can't warm me up, I don't love him anymore

The northern border is extremely large, with a total of twenty-one cities.

Today, except for the six cities where the plague broke out, the rest have all been occupied by the northerners.

After Sui Cheng surrendered, Da Jing's troops withdrew from the northern border.

They also stationed heavy troops at Qiling Pass, which leads from the northern border to the Central Plains, to block the road.

Prevent people infected with the plague from fleeing.

This move obviously intends to use these six cities to stop the northerners from moving south.

This goal was indeed achieved.

Northerners are not fools.

When they discovered that the people in these six cities were infected with the plague, they immediately cut off all contact with the outside world.

Close the city gates and defend.

Today, the six plague cities in the northern border are essentially abandoned.

Dajing and Beiguo are waiting.

After the people in these villages are left to fend for themselves and the final fire is burned out, it will be a new beginning.

It was eighteen days later when Cui Lingyi and Feng Zhenzhu arrived.

They lived in Yongzhou, thirty miles away from Qiling Pass.

This is a big city, and its prosperity is not much different from that of Shangjing.

Once this place is infected with plague or invaded by people from the north, Dajing will basically be destroyed.

Shen Du's men had been waiting outside the city and welcomed the two into a house that had been prepared long ago.

This man is in his thirties and looks calm and capable.

"Miss Cui, Doctor Feng, my name is Li Ji. If you need anything else, just tell me directly."

After everything was settled, Cui Lingyi called Li Ji to ask.

It was learned that Shen Du's troops had already been deployed along the Qiling Pass.

But he did not send troops immediately, and no one knew what he was busy with.

"I only heard that the Marquis disappeared after arriving at Qiling Pass."

Cui Lingyi was a little surprised when she heard this.

"Shouldn't the marching speed be half as fast? It should have been ten days now, right? Has there been no movement from the northern border?"

"Yes." Li Ji bowed.

"This is the news I received. I think the Marquis is preparing for the next war."

Cui Lingyi nodded.

Although she had never fought in a war, she knew that war could not be started just by saying so.

Before that, some careful arrangements and preparations must be made.

But in the current situation, Qiling Pass was blocked, and even if they wanted to save the people, they couldn't get through.

"Go down and report any news promptly."

"Yes."

Li Ji responded and went down respectfully.

Cui Lingyi felt uneasy.

"Sister Pearl, do you think Shen Du can take over Northern Xinjiang? I'm really worried."

Feng Zhenzhu, however, looked indifferent.

"Are you not aware of your man's ability? Since he dared to issue a military order and came to this place, he must be confident."

Cui Lingyi frowned.

"But there are northerners in front of us, and the plague behind us. No matter how powerful he is, I'm afraid he won't have an easy time."

Feng Zhenzhu chuckled.

"Hey, are you worried already? Do you want me to ask Li Ji to send someone to Qi Ling Pass to tell Shen Du?"

Cui Lingyi was thinking about something and didn't understand what she meant for a moment.

He was confused when he heard that.

"Tell him what?"

Feng Zhenzhu smiled meaningfully.

"Of course you mean you miss him and are worried about him! You want to see him..."

Cui Lingyi's fair little face turned red instantly.

"Sister Pearl, why do you like to talk nonsense?"

"Where did I say anything nonsense? Do you dare to say that you didn't miss him? When the car arrived at the city gate, you looked around. Weren't you looking for him? Were you looking for Li Ji?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Lingyi's face became even redder, with a hint of embarrassment.

"Sister Pearl, can you..."

Before she could finish her words, Feng Zhenzhu sat down next to her and grabbed her arm.

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you anymore!"

"It's normal to like someone and miss someone. There's nothing to be shy about!"

Feng Zhenzhu looked carefree and nonchalant.

"To be honest, I miss Xie Jin after not seeing him for a while. I wish I could meet him right now."

"It's not shameful to like someone! Don't keep it secret. You like Shen Du so much, shouldn't you let him know?"

These words made Cui Lingyi even more embarrassed.

I always feel that Feng Zhenzhu is giving her some advice.

In her past and present lives, she seemed to have never clearly expressed to Shen Du that she loved him.

I always feel that he should understand.

But she really envied the way Feng Zhenzhu and Xie Jin got along with each other.

Even if they hadn't seen each other for half a day, Feng Zhenzhu would hold Xie Jin's hand and say frankly, "I missed you. Why did you come just now?"

She also said that when you love, love well.

If one day you stop loving me, just leave without any hesitation.

If it were her, she would never be able to say these words calmly.

"Okay, stop being stunned!"

Feng Zhenzhu waved her slender fingers in front of her eyes, bringing her back to her senses instantly.

"Oh, what did you say?" Cui Lingyi was in a daze.

"I'm telling you, you have a very smart mind, but all you think about all day is a burden. Just do whatever you want to do!"

Cui Lingyi smiled, feeling warm in her heart.

"What if I get into trouble?"

Feng Zhenzhu rolled her eyes and looked her up and down.

"Just you? A delicate beauty causing trouble? I think you are a nuisance in your own right!"

Cui Lingyi blushed, "You just talk nonsense."

Feng Zhenzhu chuckled.

"Just treat me as talking nonsense, but I have one thing to make clear. Even if you really get into trouble, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

As she spoke, she patted her chest vigorously.

This made Cui Lingyi laugh.

"Okay, okay, I know everything."

Hearing this, Feng Zhenzhu's expression became a little cunning.

"Do you know why I am so confident?"

"Why?" Cui Lingyi was a little stunned.

"Because of Shen Du." Feng Zhenzhu curled her lips, "Even if I can't do it, I still have your man, what are you afraid of?"

Cui Lingyi was embarrassed, "What do you mean my man? He is not..."

"Why are you ashamed? Isn't it sooner or later?"

Cui Lingyi was also convinced.

Feng Zhenzhu is a big mouth who talks nonsense all day long just to amuse herself.

Fortunately, she finally said she was tired and asked to rest.

"Ali, we want to have a good rest today. Let's send someone to report the news tomorrow. Otherwise, we can go to Qiling Pass and take a look at the situation there."

This is a good idea, Cui Lingyi nodded.

They both went back to their rooms to rest.

It was a little late in Japan, and when I woke up, it was already the next morning.

Cui Lingyi had just finished washing up when Feng Zhenzhu came over in a hurry.

As soon as he entered the room, he grabbed her wrist and felt her pulse with his eyes closed.

He let go after a while, looking very satisfied.

"Have you taken your medicine this morning?"

"Eat later." Cui Lingyi was a little nervous, "Is my condition relapsing?"

Feng Zhenzhu waved her hand.

"This prescription is good. It can be taken for a period of time."
