Tang Jinghong had been waiting at the camp entrance. Seeing Chu Qingzhi, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Qingzhi."
Dismounting her horse, Chu Qingzhi announced, "It's done!"
Tang Jinghong took the reins of Chu Qingzhi's horse, admiringly stating, "There seems to be nothing in this world that can stump you."
Chu Qingzhi's eyes curved into a smile, "It's manageable!"
Tang Jinghong, showing concern, said, "I've prepared breakfast for you. Eat something, then get some rest."
Chu Qingzhi, not wanting to delay their journey, replied, "I'll rest in the carriage."
"Then I'll arrange the carriage for you," Tang Jinghong offered.
Chu Qingzhi nodded in agreement, "Okay."
