Chapter 523 Difficult Armor

The next day at yin hour, Shuang Cheng came to wake Chu Qingmeng up, as it was time to patrol the camp at the beginning of the morning hour.

Chu Qingmeng, frozen to a pulp at night, regretted even more that she had agreed to lead the troops with Mo Yunting that day. She gritted her teeth, got up, washed, and was faced with another dilemma. She had only worn her light armor once, and it was Mo Liujin who put it on her. She couldn't see how to put it on, and she didn't know how to put it on herself.

"..." What on earth had gotten into me that I had to agree to lead the troops?!

Either ask Shuangcheng or Feiying to help him put it on, or go find his father or dad. But, neither option is suitable!

"Master? Are you ready? It's time to eat." Shuang Cheng asked at the door of the tent.

"...No...not very good." Chu Qingmeng was studying how to put it on. Ancient armor was put on piece by piece, but now the only things that were clearly tied were shoes and leggings. She put those two on, but she had no idea how to tie the rest, so she tied them in a mess.

"What's wrong?" Shuang Cheng didn't understand where this "not so good" came from.

Finally, Chu Qingmeng gave up. It was tied wrong, and besides, it couldn't be untied. He scratched his hair in frustration, "Shuangcheng, can you help me call... Second Master over, or Eleventh Master would be fine too."

Ling Xian and Mo Yunting both arrived, and upon entering the tent, they saw Chu Qingmeng struggling with her light armor. Well, it was immediately clear what was wrong with her. Besides her shoes, leggings, and inner robe, everything else was wrong.

Ling Xian stepped forward to untie the knots in her hair. Mo Yunting sighed and helped, "Didn't I prepare new armor for you? Why are you wearing your own?"

Chu Qingmeng looked at him, staring at him straight in the eye. "That new set of armor weighs fifty kilograms, and I weigh a hundred kilograms."

"..." Mo Yunting closed his eyes. Normal battle armor weighed eighty kilograms, and that set was already made for light armor. Never mind, he wasn't going to the battlefield after all. "After putting on the inner robe, first put on the shoes and leggings, then the skirt armor, sling armor, and falcon armor..."

With help, she quickly put on her armor. This set of light armor was designed by Mu Lingxue and made on the fifth floor, using the finest materials. It weighed twenty kilograms. At least wearing it, Chu Qingmeng could walk normally. With fifty kilograms of armor, she wouldn't even be able to leave the tent.

After all the trouble, it was already the hour of Mao and they had missed the time for dinner. Chongsan was already waiting in front of the tent with a group of generals.

Ling Xian took out some pills, stuffed one into Chu Qingmeng's mouth, and gave another to Mo Yunting. Of course, Mo Yunting's pill was just an ordinary medicine for strengthening the body. "It's too late to eat, so just take this."

Mo Yunting took it and ate it, but still hesitated for a moment, "It's okay if we don't eat it, Chujiu's body won't eat it..."

"It's okay. When she was young, she took medicine instead of food, and she hardly ate food for several days." What Ling Xian said was true.

Mo Yunting: "..."

Sure enough, there is someone who dotes on the child even more than he does.

As expected, today's camp inspection was different from yesterday's. There were not many generals yesterday, but all the generals were present today. Naturally, they were dissatisfied with Chu Qingmeng, who was so small, being the commander-in-chief.

Before she came out, she asked Shuang Cheng to help her put on makeup. At first glance, she looked like a young boy. Coupled with her hoarse voice that was difficult to distinguish between male and female, anyone would think she was a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old.

Chongsan was slightly surprised. He never thought that Jiu Ye also had a master of disguise.

The morning patrol was over, and the afternoon was about to begin with a military training session to see who was better. Chu Qingmeng was busy, while the general's mansion was shrouded in a dark cloud.

The servants in the mansion were all very cautious. Anyone could see that the general was in a bad mood, a very bad mood.

At 3:00 AM, he returned to the mansion to change into court clothes, hoping to see Chu Qingmeng. However, there was no one in the warm room! He called in the secret guards and learned that she had gone to Qingzhou. Although he knew she had gone to do something important, he still felt uncomfortable. He wanted to see her, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't see her for a day.

Even after getting on the horse, Mo Jiangqing still had a gloomy face. He sighed helplessly and urged his horse to walk to his side. "Father, mother said she will be back in seven or eight days. By then, my great aunt's illness will be almost healed, and you can return home..."

"Is this why you let your mother go to Qingzhou alone?! Is this why you didn't tell anyone?!" Mo Liujin's face grew darker and darker. The weather was so cold, and she was in such poor condition, riding a horse. She would probably fall ill before reaching Qingzhou! Feiying and Feiling were truly her people. Now he had no way of contacting them!

"..." Mo Jiangqing shut up. He wanted to follow, but since he saw his mother really didn't want him to go, he didn't insist. "Then after the court session, I'll go to the fifth floor and ask the master where mother is in Qingzhou, and then go look for her."

Mo Liujin rode forward without saying a word. He knew that Chu Qingmeng had to do what he decided to do. So when he was angry, he was just simply wanting to vent his anger.

He was angry at Chu Qingmeng, not Jiang Qing. He was angry at her for not telling him when she had something to say, angry at her for not learning to rely on him. He was also angry at himself for not being there for her when she needed him, angry that his wings couldn't fully protect her.
