Mythical Three Kingdoms

After Li Yuan’s hint, Ji Xiang immediately lost interest in borrowing people for research. The others also noticed Ji Xiang’s thoughts, so they didn’t stay long and left one after another.

After sending Li Yuan and his group away, Ji Xiang excitedly packed up, arranged the various hospital affairs, and headed to the Political Office in Ye City.

”Doctor Wu, I have to go to Chang’an, and you will take over the Medical Academy in my stead,” Ji Xiang handed over various authorizations to Hua Tuo’s apprentice, Wu Pu, then took her identity jade plaque and quickly headed to the Political Office in Ye City by carriage.

While working, Li Youu, who always had an eye on everything happening around him, inadvertently saw Ji Xiang tidying up her clothes and maintaining her demeanor at the door. He turned his head and said to Lub Su, ”Your sister-in-law is here, aren’t you going to greet her?”

If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Ning is likely to marry Lub Su, because Lub Su’s grandmother particularly likes Xu Ning, and Lub Su has a good impression of Xu Ning. Xu Ning also has a good impression of Lub Su.

For Lub Su, as long as his grandmother is satisfied, he would marry even a woman considered unattractive, so marrying Xu Ning poses no pressure for Lub Su, he might just agree and go through with it.

Previously a casual chat turned into reality, as Ji Xiang truly became Lub Su’s sister-in-law.

Yi Ji, Zhao Yan, Jiangh Wan, Yang Dao, Wenn Hui, and others remained focused on their work, avoiding eye contact. Lub Su felt intimidated by his sister-in-law, who often treated him, especially since she seemed to lack a lot of common knowledge.

Or rather, it’s not a lack of common knowledge, but rather a certain perspective; Ji Xiang sees no distinction between men and women. This aspect made Lub Su quite nervous, especially during treatment, leaving him embarrassed, which made him inclined to avoid her.

Later, Lub Su secretly obtained a copy of the cultivation method for the Ji Family’s Chief Priestess. After reading it, Lub Su was overwhelmed. Being trained as a Chief Priestess, Ji Xiang was expected to communicate with the Ancestral God with a mindset above all mortals, using this perspective to observe mortal beings.

Even though Ji Xiang certainly wouldn’t achieve this, Lub Su guessed Ji Xiang might not distinguish between men and women, which from any angle is quite an undesirable situation.

”Ahem, Academy Head Ji, why are you here?” Lub Su asked with slight humility, completely losing his previously commanding demeanor.

”I need to go to Chang’an,” Ji Xiang said without any intention to cover up.

”Why are you going to Chang’an at this time?” Lub Su asked in confusion, though internally he wished his sister-in-law would leave quickly, as her presence kept him on edge, fearing an unexpected health inspection any day.

”To do research,” Ji Xiang replied discontentedly after glancing at Lub Su.

”Then you should transfer the hospital affairs, and I’ll dispatch two hundred people to escort you to Chang’an,” Lub Su immediately stated, having no interest in what Ji Xiang intended to research.

”The handover is complete, just prepare the carriage and the necessary travel documents,” Ji Xiang said, a hint of excitement in her demeanor.

Lub Su then tapped the table, summoning two guards inside. He first commanded them to verify the task’s completion and instructed another to serve tea to Ji Xiang while he drafted the travel documentation.

Soon, the guards returned, confirming Ji Xiang had completed the handover. Upon hearing this, Lub Su wasted no time handing the documentation to Ji Xiang and took out the patrol schedule of Ye City, appointing two hundred-man squads as her escort.

”I’ll see if there’s a convoy traveling to Chang’an with whom you can travel,” Once arrangements for Ji Xiang were made, Lub Su began checking recent large convoy departures and quickly identified one.

”There’s a convoy from the Zhang Family of Henei transporting valuable goods, with Zhang Du and Fann Zhe as the escort team,” With comprehensive records, Lub Su soon identified a convoy traveling from Mount Tai to Ye City and then transferring to Henei, with which Ji Xiang could travel.

”Let that fellow go along too,” Li Youu suddenly suggested, surprising Lub Su at first but soon understanding, ”Indeed, it’s beneficial for him to go, but with Zhang Du and Fann Zhe being familiar, won’t it cause any issues?”

”Given the situation now, only Zhang Du and Fann Zhe witnessing it firsthand can genuinely resolve any underlying tensions; moreover, their word carries more weight with others.” Li Youu casually remarked, and Lub Su nodded silently.

”Moreover, even though Zhang Du and Fann Zhe have exhausted their potential, they remain among the most capable Chiliarchs to this day, wasting them isn’t beneficial for us,” Li Youu commented unassumingly, indicating that while their skills aren’t extraordinarily excellent, combining their numbers can slightly elevate the overall organizational power of the Han Army.

”I’ll assign you another escort,” Lub Su turned to Ji Xiang and handed over the dispatch documentation, travel documents, and other miscellaneous items.

”I can leave with these, right?” Ji Xiang asked after receiving the items.

”Even without these, you could leave; these are more for ensuring your safety. It would be best if you traveled with the Zhang Family’s convoy transporting valuable goods to Sili,” Lub Su pointed out on the documents, noting that this was primarily a safety measure and not strictly necessary.

Even though Lub Su acknowledged the use of public resources for personal reasons, overall, he believed he was being fair.

”Then I will take my leave,” As someone decisive by nature, Ji Xiang naturally gathered her things, offered a courteous bow to Lub Su and Li Youu, and left promptly.

”I don’t know if it’s my illusion or something else; I have a strong feeling that her departure will lead to big trouble, yet I’m not her father; why do I feel this way,” Lub Su said suddenly, turning to Li Youu after seeing Ji Xiang leave the Political Office.

”Because you’re about to marry her cousin, so you often have thoughts about your sister-in-law,” Li Youu replied casually without even looking up.

Lub Su, accustomed to such remarks, didn’t bother to refute Li Youu, returning to his seat, resuming the intense workload alongside his team.

”Can you tell me if the Zhang Clan’s convoy from Henei is stationed here?” With protection from two squads, Ji Xiang’s carriage reached the Zhang Clan’s base in Henei led by a minor official, where she inquired.

With the official documentation, both parties quickly reached an agreement, as there was an initial understanding about such arrangements upon joining the commerce guild. Even though Liu Bei’s side seldom engaged in such actions, the Zhang Family decided to comply upon receiving notification.
