The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 724: Farewell

Jiang Zhongxing slowly took hold of Lady Wu’s hand and said to the woman who had already passed out on the childbirth bed, "From now on, we will have no more children."

Afterward, the Duke Mansion did not hold a big feast, and even for the baby’s traditional washing ceremony, only a few people from the Jiang Family were invited to make it a bit lively.

Yun Jiao came every day to check Lady Wu’s pulse, and whether it was due to Lady Wu’s good constitution or Yun Jiao’s effective medicine, after two weeks, Lady Wu showed no signs of infection.

This morning, after checking Lady Wu, Yun Jiao and Jiang Youzhi rode a carriage out of the city.

In the carriage, Yun Jiao couldn’t help but ask, "Where are we going and what are we doing?"

Jiang Youzhi had said the night before that he would take her out of the city today, but hadn’t mentioned what they would be doing.

Jiang Youzhi then replied, "Brother Lin is leaving, we are going to see him off."

Yun Jiao was aware that Lin Shuo was eager to leave the Capital City, as his family environment was too suffocating. A few months ago, his wife, Feng Shuzhen, gave birth to a big healthy boy, and Madam Hou seemed to be in a much better mood.

However, Marquis Wu’an was still as gloomy as ever.

"Where is he going?"

Jiang Youzhi said, "Xiang City."

"Brother Lin plans to go for three years, and maybe by then everyone’s grief and guilt will have somewhat faded."

Yun Jiao nodded, knowing that time is the best medicine; the pains in one’s heart might never completely vanish, but they would slowly fade with the passing of time.

After leaving the city for a little over quarter of an hour, they arrived at the Ten Miles Pavilion.

On the Great Chu Dynasty’s official roads, there is a pavilion set every ten miles, for travelers to take shelter from rain and rest their feet.

The two got off the carriage; it was still early, and there were no travelers resting in the pavilion. Jiang Youzhi set the wine pot and three cups on the stone table in the pavilion, then looked towards the Capital City.

It wasn’t long before they saw two horses galloping towards them from a distance.

Jiang Youzhi waved from afar, the horses began to slow down, and upon reaching the pavilion, neighed loudly and came to a stop.

Lin Shuo and Ah Hu dismounted, Lin Shuo solemnly cupped his hands towards Jiang Youzhi and Yun Jiao.

Jiang Youzhi smiled and poured three cups of wine, handing one to Lin Shuo and one to Ah Hu.

"May Brother Lin and Brother Ah Hu achieve great success and have a promising future on this journey."

The three of them drank the wine together, and Lin Shuo then laughed and said, "I’m going to Xiang City, it’s like going to retire; there’s no chance for great achievements."

Xiang City is far from the southern borderlands and the northern frontier, nearly at the center of the Great Chu Dynasty, with no opportunities for warfare.

Jiang Youzhi shook his head, "Brother Lin, you are mistaken. You often say how weak the Great Chu Dynasty’s army is, lacking combat power. You are going to be a defender of a region, why not strive to train a formidable army."

"Though Brother Lin’s current official position is small and your power is limited, we can do our best with what we have."

Lin Shuo cupped his hands to Jiang Youzhi, "Brother Jiang has a point, if everyone only knows how to criticize the weakness of the Great Chu army without seeking change, then there is no hope for Great Chu."

"However bad Great Chu may be, it is the place that birthed and raised me. If everyone contributes even a little, Great Chu might improve somewhat."

"Once in Xiang City, I will do my best to give it a try."

Lin Shuo again picked up the wine pot and poured three cups, and the three of them drank it dry. Lin Shuo, filled with vigor, said, "Brother Jiang, Doctor Gu, farewell, until we meet again."

The two remounted their horses, respectfully saluted Jiang Youzhi and Yun Jiao who stood by the roadside, and galloped away.

Jiang Youzhi and Yun Jiao stood by the roadside for a while, until the horses and the riders were no longer visible, then returned to the carriage to go back.
