Chapter 185: Meeting Hong Jiang Again The next day, Xiangliu and Xiaoyao woke up a bit late. After breakfast, they led a group of people pulling a dozen carts of gifts up the mountain. Hong Jiang had long since received word that Xiaoyao was coming to formally pay her respects on the mountain, and he had woken up early to sit upright in the commander's tent, waiting for them. Over the past two years, the Chenrong Army's circumstances had indeed improved far too much compared to before. Not only were they free of worries about food and clothing, but their tents had also been renovated several times, taking on a completely new look. The soldiers' weapons and equipment were growing increasingly sophisticated, their warhorses were well-fleshed and robust, and their medicinal supplies were ample. Aside from the regular military doctors, Dr. Asheng of Huichuntang would also regularly lead people up the mountain to diagnose and treat the soldiers. Many soldiers' chronic illnesses had improved or even been cured, and even Hong Jiang's health had gotten much better over the past two years—not only was his complexion rosy and his voice booming, but his energy and spirit were also much fuller.
