Hearing her fifth uncle Luo Yan's words, Luo Mingfang was particularly jealous: "What makes Luo Mingzhen so special? Isn't it said that doctors don't accept female apprentices?"

"Why? Of course, it's because they genuinely care for Miss Su."

Luo Yan really wanted to open the heads of these members of the Luo family to see if they were filled with cotton or straw; they were all incredibly stupid.

"Haven't you noticed yet? Those who opposed Miss Su all met tragic ends. Prime Minister Feng's legs were barely able to walk when he criticized Miss Su in court today, and Marquis Guiping broke his legs. The Seventh Prince and the Third Prince of Nan Yue, despite their noble status, died without a complete corpse, also because they offended Miss Su."

Luo Yan looked at him with a disappointed expression.

"And the Luo family! It's because you, Father, targeted Miss Su in court that the Luo family ended up homeless. Look at Mingzhen, she's only been relying on Miss Su for a few days and she's already received incredible good fortune. When will you fools finally wake up?"

Luo Minggeng found these words quite reasonable.

He tugged at Minister Luo's sleeve and pleaded, "Grandfather, why don't we go and beg Miss Su? If Miss Su were to give us even a little bit, we wouldn't have to squeeze into this wretched place anymore."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yan was so angry he felt like vomiting blood.

We're offering you free accommodations, and you still have the nerve to complain that this place is a shabby mess!

He pointed at the Luo family members and said, "Get out! All of you, get out of here!"

But the Luo family members had long since developed a thick skin and were not going to leave. This was their last refuge; if they left, they would have to sleep on the streets.

Vice Minister Luo began to make plans in his mind.

It is common knowledge that studying medicine is the most lucrative profession; an ordinary doctor in the capital can earn at least five hundred taels of silver a month.

Mingzhen is Zhao Yuanzheng's apprentice. It is estimated that he will be able to graduate after three years of study. After three years, he will be able to earn at least a thousand taels a month, which will be enough to support the entire Luo family.

Vice Minister Luo comforted Mingfang, saying, "The current difficulties are only temporary. Once Mingzhen has completed her apprenticeship, the Luo family will be able to return to its former life of wealth and honor."

Luo Yan and his wife exchanged a glance, both speechless. You can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep.

At noon, the soldiers in the military camp in Qinghe County ate their meal with great enjoyment, chatting as they ate.

"Previously, the imperial court stripped Miss Su of her military power and put General Wan in charge. As a result, General Wan fed us pig feed every day. Now that Miss Su is back, our food standards have risen sharply. We have to thank Miss Su for her efforts."

"Miss Su said that we will receive our military pay on time this month, and she will also make up for the military pay that General Wan owed us before."

"Following others, you'll go hungry three times a day; following Miss Su, everyone's excited! Miss Su just formulated a lot of incentive measures yesterday, everyone has a chance. Brothers, I think fighting alongside Miss Su is like building a career. As long as we do well, the rewards will be plentiful."

"Rewards are secondary. I joined the army mainly because of Miss Su's skills. Don't you all know that Miss Su has returned with a great skill—she can ride a giant eagle and roam the heavens, making her the first person in history to do so!"

Everyone showed expressions of admiration and respect.

The soldiers were in high spirits and trained even more diligently in the afternoon.

The old patriarch of the Zhang family came to Gu's Restaurant to ask Su Qianqian for help.

He felt that no one else could do this except Miss Su, so he shamelessly came to ask for help.

"Miss Su, our Zhang family's two newly appointed county magistrates have been assigned to Zhangcheng and Xuncheng in the south. Not only are there floods there, but they are also adjacent to the territory occupied by the King of Huainan, which is particularly dangerous."

Su Qianqian knew that it must be because Emperor Qi Jing was dissatisfied with her and knew that the Zhang family had a close relationship with her, so he deliberately targeted the Zhang family.

The old clan chief sighed and said, "His Majesty sends silver and grain to the Southern Yue Kingdom, but he gives nothing to the flood-stricken areas of the Great Qi Kingdom. He only gives the local officials five days to clear the floods, without providing any support whatsoever."

"Elder Chief, rest assured, I can solve the flood problems in Zhangcheng and Xuncheng. As for the defense of the cities, I will also provide some assistance."

Upon hearing this, the old patriarch of the Zhang family's worry dissipated considerably. He believed that as long as Miss Su agreed, she would definitely be able to fulfill her promise.

The two were talking in a private room on the second floor. Su Qianqian heard a commotion at the door of the private room, so she opened the door to see what was going on.

Qin Changfeng and General Wei were standing outside.

General Wei was sent by the emperor to assist Su Bing, ostensibly to assist, but in reality to monitor him.

General Wei came to the second floor to find out what Su Qianqian and the Zhang clan chief were talking about, but he was stopped by Qin Changfeng.

"General Wei, the Emperor sent you here to assist the Mighty General, but he did not order you to monitor Miss Su."

General Wei thought to himself, "The emperor must have sent me to monitor Miss Su, but he doesn't want me to say it out loud."

"Yes, yes, I just wanted to see what the second floor was like since I'd never been there before. General Qin, you're overthinking it."

Standing at the door of the private room, Xiangming curled her lip. This General Wei is really not afraid of death. Today, the young master took people to the nearby city to gather intelligence. If the young master were here, he would definitely beat General Wei half to death.

In the afternoon, Su Qianqian rode her horse out of the city. As soon as she reached the city gate, she found that General Wei had also come out.

"Where is Miss Su planning to go?"

Qin Changfeng was very angry. "Miss Su can go wherever she wants. It's none of your business, Wei Feng."

Wei Feng is nothing but a lackey sent by the imperial court. He tries to monitor Miss Su all day long and is as annoying as a mad dog.

Qin Changfeng wanted to beat Wei Feng up, but Su Qianqian stopped him.

"Ignore him, he can't catch me."

Su Qianqian raised her hand and whistled.

A moment later, the golden eagle flew out of the city like an arrow and landed obediently in front of Su Qianqian.

General Wei, with his sturdy body, tried to pounce on the golden eagle, but ended up falling face-first into the mud, his mouth full of dirt.

"Miss Su, please wait a moment."

But no one paid any attention to General Wei, and he could only lie on the ground and watch helplessly as Su Qianqian rode the eagle away.

Damn it, flying that high, aren't you afraid of falling to your death?

General Wei watched as the golden eagle flew further and further away, gradually becoming a small black dot, and then completely disappearing from sight. He was so angry that he punched the ground.

His Majesty ordered him to follow and monitor Miss Su, but Miss Su has a divine creature like a golden eagle, so how is he supposed to follow her?

If the mission is not completed, the Emperor will surely punish me when I return to the capital.

General Wei had an idea: if he sent someone to secretly shoot down the golden eagle, Miss Su would never be able to ride a bird and soar through the sky again.

He would then be able to follow Miss Su at all times.

Qin Changfeng looked down at Wei Feng, who was lying on the ground, and said sarcastically, "General Wei, you worked so hard to follow him out of the city, but you still couldn't catch up. You must be very angry, right? But don't be too sad, because you will be just as angry tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and every day after that. You'll get used to it eventually."

Dong Zhu spat at General Wei: "Don't some people even know their own limitations? Do they even have the ability to track people?"
