Life in the military camp was incredibly hard

around him."Go and fetch a palanquin, quickly bring the madam over here."Fang Jinshi took a large step forward to him, “Wait.”"Master Xiang, isn't this a bit like overstepping the bridge after crossi...Xi Zhou is located not far from the border, and Yu Zhou was once a battlefield.

Fu Ming speculated that the Gu brothers should be in Yuzhou now. Before entering the city, to be on the safe side, Fang Jinshuu had disguised herself and was now pregnant with a large belly. Acting as a couple with Fu Ming would be both convenient and inconspicuous.

That Gu Feng, deeply scheming, must have anticipated she would come.

As Fang Jinshi entered the city gate, she noticed that the officers checking people were paying particular attention to women. Luckily, her makeup skills were good. She darkened her skin tone and adjusted her eyebrows and eye shape.

After hiding her original beauty, she now looked just like a country girl who had come to the city. Her face was ordinary with just a touch of prettiness.

The three entered the city smoothly. Fang Jinshi even thought that with a city as large as Yu Zhou, there should be quite a lot of bustling activity and residents.

As they entered the city, they saw the pockmarks on the walls, remnants of when enemy forces had attacked during wartime.

In the vast city of Yuzhou, few people walked outside. However, the shops lining both sides of the streets were all open for business as usual.

After all, there are plenty of people who profit from war. Even in times of chaos, as long as there are people, there will be needs for food, drink, shelter, and sanitation, and they can make money off that.

So this place isn't completely deserted, there are still quite a few people living here.

However, this huge city wasn't even as lively as that small town in Luoshui County.

The three of them found an inn to stay at. Fang Jinshi whispered a few words to Shen Li, then watched as Shen Li quickly turned and left.

Fu Minggang had just sat down and ordered his food when he turned his head to find that his bodyguard was gone.

He stared at Fang Jinshi in astonishment.

When did you buy off Shen Li He was my most loyal guard.

What made Fu Ming even more puzzled was that, for so many years, Shen Li had refused to obey anyone's orders except his. Now, he was being commanded around by Fang Jinshu at will.

Fang Jinshi sat down and poured herself a glass of water. After days of traveling by carriage, her body was already very uncomfortable from sitting.

After becoming pregnant, her physique was indeed not as good as before. Fortunately, Xiaolu would extract the essence from the Spirit Spring every day and give it to her to drink. It was the spiritual energy of the entire Spirit Spring condensed into a liquid. One sip was equivalent to drinking a month's worth of Spirit Spring before.

The effect is naturally also visible to the naked eye.

If she were an ordinary pregnant woman, with all this bumpy travel and lack of good food, sleep, and rest, her baby would probably have problems by now.

But Fang Jinshu, apart from being a little tired, was otherwise fine. On the contrary, she felt very energetic and no longer as sleepy as before.

The essence water really worked, she absolutely needs to be at her best right now, can't sleep or hold back.

I'm not going to ask Shen Li to find out, am I going to ask you

"I really don't mind who goes, the key is, are you willing to"

She calmly raised her cup and took a sip of tea. Used to drinking tea made from the leaves of trees watered by spring water, she still preferred tea brewed with boiling spring water.

The tea in front of me is so rough that it's hard to swallow.

She took a sip and put it down.

This is still within Yu Zhou City. Even in such a large inn, the tea and water can be this rough. What more of a battlefield

If A Yu really went to war, life in the barracks would be awfully hard, probably even harder than it was back home in the village.

Fang Jinxiu finished her tea and fell into a daze, completely failing to hear what Fu Ming was complaining about. When the dishes were almost ready, Shen Li also returned.

She also brought news for him to inquire about.mile in his eyes. If Fang Jinxiu still couldn't see that he was making fun of her, then she must have been blinded by beauty and gone blind.She snorted, "Oh, now you're learning to amuse yourself at m...
