Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The county magistrate sized up the chivalrous girl in front of him and admired her. However, he had never hired a female constable before, so he was a little hesitant.

“Miss, it’s very dangerous to be a constable, and the rest of the constables are all men. Will it be ok for you?”

Chu Xujin immediately said, “Sir, Miss Ge is very skilled in martial arts. Just now, she subdued the human trafficker on the street. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to catch him.”

The county magistrate was secretly shocked. The girl in front of him looked thin. Did she really have such explosive power?

“Miss, you are so capable. Why do you want to be a constable? Don’t you think it’s a waste of your talent?”

Ge Lihua held a sword in her hand. Her fingers slowly tightened around the sword. “I don’t think it’s a waste of talent to get rid of evil for the people.”

The county magistrate clapped his hands happily. “Well said. Get rid of the evil for the people. I’ve decided to recruit you.”

Ge Lihua cupped her fists and said, “Thank you, sir.”

The county magistrate looked at Chu Xujin and said, “Xujin, bring Miss Ge to go through the procedures. Tomorrow, she can come to work.”

“Yes, my lord,” Chu Xujin said. “We also need to pay Miss Ge five taels of silver for helping us catch the human trafficker.”

“Sure.” The county magistrate waved at the secretary. “Take them to get the money.”

‘Yes, my lord.’

Chu Xujin still had something else to say. “Sir, my fifth sister is back. 1 want to take a leave of absence from you.”

The county magistrate was stunned for a moment before he became excited. “Chu Qingzhi is back from the northern border?”

Chu Xujin was a little puzzled. “Sir, you know about it too?”

Who didn’t know? Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong had made great contributions in the northern border again. It was just that the news hadn’t reached the capital yet, but the officials were already informed. “Leave granted.”

Chu Xujin said gratefully, “Thank you, sir.”

After taking the money, Chu Xujin immediately brought Ge Lihua home.

In the Chu Village.

Chu Qingzhi returned to the village and was welcomed by the villagers. Even the most prestigious village elder came out.

Seeing so many people, Tang Jinghong stopped the carriage. “Qingzhi, everyone is here.”

Chu Qingzhi lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. Wu Yaqing also jumped out of the carriage. She was extremely surprised to see so many villagers. Are Qingzhi and Brother Tang so popular?

Tang Jinghong went forward to support the village eider and said respectfully, “There is no need for you to come out personally.”

The village elder patted Tang Jinghong’s arm with a smile on his face. Even the wrinkles on his face became smoother. “Good, it’s good that you’re back.”

The village elder was considered an intellectual in the village. When he was chatting with Grandpa Chu, he found out that Tang Jinghong worked in the army and knew that he and Chu Qingzhi were away for an important matter.

And this matter was naturally related to the Imperial Court. He was both happy and proud.

Chu Qingzhi also called out, “Elder.”

The village elder replied with a smile, “Good.”

Wu Yaqing was an outgoing person. Then, she introduced herself to everyone. “My name is Wu Yaqing. I’m from the northern border and I’m Qingzhi’s good friend. 1’11 be staying here in the future. I hope you can accept me.”

“Welcome to the Chu Village.”

“Welcome, welcome.”

With Wu Yaqing’s personality, she quickly got along with the villagers. She was surrounded by everyone and chatted happily.

The Chu family and two disciples squeezed into the crowd and arrived in front of Chu Qingzhi.

Li Qingyu hugged Chu Qingzhi tightly. Tears instantly filled her eyes as she cried tears of joy. “Qingzhi, you’re finally back. 1 missed you so much.”

The strong mother’s love warmed Chu Qingzhi’s heart. She patted Li Qingyu’s back gently and said gently, “Mother, sorry. I made you worry.”

After hugging her for a while, Li Qingyu let go of Chu Qingzhi. “Did you encounter any danger on the way? Did you settle the matter?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “No, the journey was very safe. The matter is all settled.”

She did not dare to mention war at all, afraid that her mother would faint from worry.

Li Qingyu was relieved. “That’s good, that’s good…”

Granny Chu pulled Chu Qingzhi’s hand. “My granddaughter has lost weight.

Your mother has prepared a lot of delicious food. Eat more later.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and replied, “Yes, Grandma.”

Chu Eighth went forward and hugged Chu Qingzhi. “Fifth Sister, I miss you so much too. The two horses miss you too.”

Chu Qingzhi rubbed Chu Eighth’s head. “I will go and see them later.”

Grandpa Chu, Chu Rong, and the others also expressed their concern.

Shen Ruyue also hugged Chu Qingzhi. “Qingzhi, you’ve become prettier again.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “You too.”

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang went forward and bowed. “Greetings, Master.”

Chu Qingzhi patted the shoulders of her two disciples. “I brought something good back for you. 1’11 show it to you later.”

The two disciples’ eyes lit up. If their master said that it was a good thing, it was definitely a good thing. “Yes.”

Everyone chatted at the village entrance for a long time before letting Chu Qingzhi and the rest go home.

Everyone knew that Chu Qingzhi and the others must be travel-worn. After returning home, they did not ask anything else and let them return to their rooms to rest.

The few of them slept until evening.

The majestic mountains in the distance, the farmland nearby, and the villagers’ houses were all painted a golden color under the sunset. They looked exceptionally beautiful.

Chu Qingzhi walked out of the room in plain clothes. She planned to drive the carriage back. The gifts she had bought for her family were still on it.

As soon as she walked out, she bumped into her two disciples. The two of them were sitting in the central room reading medical books. Chu Qingning was also there.

When the three of them saw Chu Qingzhi, they immediately stood up. Chu Qingning walked over and grabbed Chu Qingzhi’s hand. “Fifth Sister, where are you going?”

Chu Qingzhi pointed outside. “I’m going out to drive the carriage back.”

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang said in unison, “Master, rest. Let us do it.”

Chu Qingzhi glanced at the two of them and nodded with a smile. “Ok. Be careful.”

Chu Qingning pulled Chu Qingzhi to a chair. “Fifth Sister, tell me how the northern border is. Is it fun there? How’s the scenery?”

Chu Qingzhi told Chu Qingning the interesting things she had encountered, skipping the dangerous part. Listening to it, Chu Qingning was filled with yearning.

Wu Yaqing and Ge Lihua walked out of the room and sat beside Chu Qingzhi.

“Wait a moment. I’ll get you something to eat.” Chu Qingzhi went to the ice cream bar workshop and brought over some fruit-flavored ice cream bars. “Ice cream bar. Try it.”

The two of them had never seen an ice cream bar before. It was very .

Wu Yaqing immediately picked up one and looked at it carefully. “Qingzhi, are we supposed to bite into it?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Yes, it’s cold. Take a small bite first..”
