Chapter 92 He is very experienced

After staying one night in Jingzi, the group headed south and arrived in Pucheng after another two days of travel.

After conquering the two great vassal kings in the north and northwest, the saint's next target was the Chen family, the King of Dongyang, a century-old prestigious family entrenched in the south.

In terms of military strength, the King of Dongyang is not as good as the other two vassal kings, but the Chen family has been entrenched in the south for hundreds of years, and their disciples are spread all over the south of the Yangtze River. The relationships are complicated and if the Chen family is shaken rashly, it may only cause unrest in the south.

Therefore, the sage ordered Lu Ji to tour the south to understand the local customs and habits of the area in order to prepare for conquering King Dongyang.

This job cannot be rushed. It requires more observation and walking to gain a comprehensive understanding.

Therefore, the group did not travel very fast. Lu Ji accompanied Qin Xiaoning almost all the way, playing and sightseeing, all the way south.

Pucheng is the first city connecting the capital and the southern cities. Lu Ji needs to stay here for some time to inspect the city defense deployment and actual combat forces.

This place is adjacent to Jinling, the hometown of Mrs. Lu. The Lu family has real estate and mansions here, so Lu Ji and his party did not stay at the inn, but went to their own mansion.

This is a large house with five entrances and exits. It is said that it was the dowry of the wife of the Lu family. The wife is the daughter of the Wang family of Langya and comes from a distinguished family. The Wang family is the only prestigious family in the south that can be compared with the Chen family.

Although the master was not present, the mansion was fully staffed with servants. The housekeeper had already received news that the young master of the Lu family would be staying there, and all preparations had been made very well.

After Lu Ji settled the people down, he went to work with his personal adjutant the next day. Before leaving, he asked Amber to take good care of Qin Xiaoning.

Finally freed from the restraints, Qin Xiaoning spent most of the day touring the huge house. There was a large lake behind the house with all kinds of fish. Qin Xiaoning and Songzhi were playful and rolled up their skirts to squat by the lake to catch fish for fun.

Perhaps because the house had been ownerless for a long time, the fish raised there were very soft. Qin Xiaoning and the other person just tried to catch them with their bare hands, and in a short while they actually caught quite a few.

This aroused their interest and they simply took off their shoes and socks and went into the water to catch them.

Although it was autumn, the sun was strong at noon and the water by the lake was shallow, so it was not very cold.

The two were having a great time when Amber came over and saw Qin Xiaoning getting into the water. She hurriedly stopped her and said, "Miss Qin, please get out of the water quickly. The water is cold in autumn. Don't catch a cold."

"It's not cold." Qin Xiaoning stared at the fish swimming in the water, and said to Amber without even looking up, "The sun is so strong at noon that the water is hot."

As she spoke, she caught a half-grown fish with her bare hands, pinched it and said to Amber on the shore, "Look, sister, this fish is easy to catch. Go get a wooden bucket. If you catch a big one later, you can make soup with it."

Amber said helplessly: "If you want to drink fish soup, I'll ask the kitchen to make it for you. Why bother going into the water to catch fish yourself?"

Qin Xiaoning threw the fish in her hand onto the shore: "There is a difference between catching the fish yourself and buying it ready-made."

As he spoke, he began to splash around in the water to catch them.

Amber couldn't resist and took out the wooden barrel. In a short while, Qin Xiaoning and Songzhi caught half a barrel. Fish of all sizes were flapping their wings lively in the barrel.

The two were having fun when Lu Ji came over from afar. Before he got close, he shouted in a threatening voice, "The water is so cold, come up quickly."

Seeing this, Amber bowed and explained, "I have been trying to coax Miss Qin to come up, but she just wouldn't listen."

Seeing Lu Ji's unfriendly expression, Song Zhi hurriedly slid ashore from a distance. Qin Xiaoning stood in the water, not having enough fun yet, and looked unhappy: "The sun is strong, the water is not cold."

"Come up!" Lu Ji stood on the shore and stretched out his hand to him: "Don't wade in the autumn water, it will get cold."

Qin Xiaoning reluctantly walked out of the water. Lu Ji pulled her ashore. Seeing that she had stepped into muddy water, he patiently wiped her water with a towel. He was reluctant to say anything to her, so he only scolded Amber who was standing beside him: "I thought you were a reliable person. I handed the person to you, and you showed me this?" Seeing that the master was angry, Amber did not dare to argue, and responded hesitantly: "It's all my fault."

"Don't blame Amber. I wanted to go into the water on my own." Qin Xiaoning took the handkerchief from Lu Ji and sat on a big rock by the lake to wipe her feet. "The water is really not cold. There's no need to make such a fuss."

Lu Ji glared at her and said, "Don't cry if your stomach hurts later."

As he spoke, he took the towel and wiped her feet carefully. After wiping off the muddy water on her feet, he turned around and asked, "Where are your shoes?"

Amber picked up Qin Xiaoning's shoes from the shore, and Nana said, "They are all wet."

Lu Ji couldn't help but scold Hu Bo again: "I handed the person to you, why can't you take good care of him?"

As he said that, he took off his cloak and wrapped the person tightly, especially the pair of jade feet, which were tightly wrapped in the cloak. Then he picked up the person and went back to the house.

I don’t know if Lu Ji’s mouth was a blessing, but Qin Xiaoning’s stomach started to hurt not long after she returned.

The pain was so severe that it was unbearable.

I calculated with my fingers and found that I had a little sex life these past two days. I just got wet and started prematurely, and it hurts terribly.

Fearing that Lu Ji would scold her, she curled up in the quilt and tried to endure it.

The little face turned pale with pain and tears welled up in the eyes.

Seeing how she was suffering, although Lu Ji was angry, he couldn't bear to blame her anymore. He picked up his pen and wrote a prescription, ordered someone to get the medicine, and forced her to drink it while it was hot.

She has always been afraid of drinking bitter medicine.

He shook his head like a drum and said stubbornly, "I know my body well. It's fine. It will only hurt for a while and will be healed soon."

Lu Ji looked at her pale little face and half coaxed and half threatened her: "Either drink it yourself, or I'll force you to drink it."

It's like this every time, taking medicine is very difficult.

She kept her mouth tightly shut, her whole body showing resistance, and she squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "If you dare to use force, I will ignore you."

Seeing that she was no longer able to hold her back, Lu Ji stopped talking and pressed her into his arms. He pried open her mouth with his big hands and, regardless of her whimpering resistance, poured a bowl of medicine down her throat without leaving a drop.

Qin Xiaoning was so angry that she hit him: "Can't you be a little gentler?"

"It's your fault that you have such a hard time taking medicine every time." He picked up a candied fruit and stuffed it into her mouth. He couldn't help scolding her: "Don't you know your body? You dare to step into that cold water."

While scolding her, he held her tightly in his arms. His warm big hands placed on her lower abdomen with experience. After a short while, the little person in his arms relaxed.

Glancing at her rosy little face, Lu Ji hummed, "You still refuse to take the medicine. Even though it's a bit bitter, it's better than being in excruciating pain, isn't it?"

The stomach pain was gone, and the little girl immediately regained her spirits. She came out of his arms and lay on the pillow, still saying, "It may not be the effect of the medicine. I told you, I know my body best. It will only hurt for a while, and I'll be fine after I endure it."

As she spoke, she glared at the man with a mixture of anger and resentment: "You insist on forcing me to drink this bitter medicine."
