The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 394 - 221_2

So, he had someone brought into the military camp.

"General, the person has been brought in."

Xia Guangcheng nodded when he saw the young man in front of him.

"Third young master of Hundred Herbs Hall, Zhao Minghua?"

Zhao Minghua nodded, it was him!

"Indeed, no wonder you were personally chosen by that little girl, Nuannuan, you have courage."

Being brought in from outside, he showed no fear, perhaps this is why Chun Nuan chose him.

Yes, Xia Guangcheng is the type to extend his feelings to others, he knows everything about Xiao Chunyu, and he pays special attention to the Xiao family.

Especially this Xiao Chunnuan, she has been different since childhood, a promising talent.

Of course, the more talented a woman is, the more particular she is about marriage.

The Zhaang family boy losing the engagement was his misfortune, he’s always been curious about what kind of man could catch the eye of his sister-in-law.

Unexpectedly, it was this young man.

"That’s because I got lucky, was fortunate to be chosen."

Zhao Minghua didn’t feel awkward at all, even could jest about it.

"You’re not afraid of me?"

The young nobles from the Capital are like mice seeing a cat when they meet him.

"Zhao has never done anything wrong to the people, nor would he harm the General, so why fear?"

Good, truly a daring person.

Xia Guangcheng waved to the guards standing nearby, signaling them to withdraw.

"General...?"

Vice General Hu was a bit puzzled, during their conversation they mentioned a woman, was it someone the General knew?

"Withdraw, I have some questions for him."

No choice, they retreated.

However, they didn’t dare to go far, just waited outside the door, in case anything happened they’d be first to rush in.

"Zhao Minghua greets the elder brother-in-law."

It was not to curry favor, but family courtesy.

Previously meeting the General was national courtesy, now it was family courtesy since no other audience was present.

"You’re clever."

Xia Guangcheng’s mood brightened by this address of elder brother-in-law.

"But, coming to see me at this moment, aren’t you afraid the rebels in the city will harm your family?"

"That’s why I took many detours, changed my identity multiple times to come to you."

"Are you eager to see me because of something urgent?"

Xia Guangcheng knows a bit about this brother-in-law’s family, the notorious idler from Changzhou.

It’s said that the Hundred Herbs Hall, which continued operations amid chaos, is his family’s business.

This family, how idle can the idlers they raise really be?

"I think I can help the General break the city."

Xia Guangcheng just stared at him, waiting for him to continue!

This young man, does he know what he’s talking about?

That’s about breaking the city, something thousands of troops couldn’t achieve, what makes him say this?

Just a few words?

But no matter what he says, Xia Guangcheng is willing to listen.

Gathering different insights is his strength.

It’s said that spectators see clearer, while those involved are confused, perhaps he really has a good idea.

"Sit, have tea."

Immediately, a soldier came forward to pour tea for Zhao Minghua.

Zhao Minghua took a sip of tea, what to say?

Really not tasty!

This tea is worse than what the servants at his home drink.

It can only be said that being a General is tough, the luxury of fine food and drink is reserved for those in the Capital.

This person, long engaged in military campaigns, has remarkable achievements and great rewards, yet lacks the time and opportunity to enjoy them, it’s... quite pitiful.

He glanced lightly at Xia Guangcheng, caught in the act.

"What’s with that look, put away your pity, I don’t need it."

"Nothing, nothing."

Awkward indeed, he’s just a kid from Changzhou, talking about enjoyment to an esteemed General from the Capital, really a frog in a well, overestimating himself.

He’s being arrogant.

Such a person, sharp-eyed and meticulous, he shows pity, might he anger and kill him instead?

"Speak, how to break it?"

His time is precious, talk if you must, else leave.

Zhao Minghua... this is truly cold-blooded, not even asking about the mother-in-law’s wellbeing?

"Does the General know the situation in the city?"

Isn’t this obvious?

His spies report every hour.

"The people can’t survive anymore, are flocking to the streets, even volunteering as human shields."

That’s the part he couldn’t tackle.

"They are doing so because they want two buns a day, to live."

Xia Guangcheng understood the truth behind this.

"If the General promises that once the gates open and the rebellion is subdued, each household will have affordable grain supply, what do you think the outcome will be?"
