Chapter 92 Opportunity He Qinglan is a very strange person.

Gyeongju, Rakji County.

The people of the county town saw the doctors from Anling off as they left the city, stuffing eggs, fruits, cabbages, radishes, chickens, ducks, and other gifts into the doctors' arms.

Xu Nanxing and the others hurriedly refused, one saying they had nowhere to put it, another saying it was too far to go back to the city and inconvenient to carry.

But the people were very hospitable, repeatedly urging them to take food with them on the road.

“If you hadn’t come to Anling, I might have died of illness long ago.”

"That's right, thanks to the doctors, my father was able to get better!"

"My older sister too!"

"Our whole family is very grateful to you."

"Dr. Mei is truly a living Bodhisattva!"

"Dr. Xu, you must accept our gift of gratitude."

"Yes, yes, if you won't come to our house for dinner, then take this chicken!"

"Oh, we can take it with us to eat on the way."

"Yes, yes, you can roast them on the way, no need to bring them back to Anling!"

"Don't you eat anything on your way back?"

"Let's eat it as a midnight snack!"

While trying to persuade them, someone threw half a bag of chestnuts into the doctors' carriage.

Someone stuffed an old hen with its wings and claws tied into the doctor's arms and ran away.

Someone tugged at the carriage and threw several large white radishes onto it.

The doctors were left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The experienced Mei Leshu, who had already hidden herself at the back of the carriage, smiled and advised, "Alright, alright, stop arguing with them. Let's pack our things and leave quickly."

Xu Nanxing suddenly realized, "Hurry up, hurry up, let's go." Let's leave the county town first.

The doctors once again told the people that they were welcome to thank them, thanked them again for the gifts, and asked them to go home first.

The carriage convoy finally left the city of Lechi County, gradually disappearing from the eager gaze of the local people.

“Oh my, they’re so enthusiastic!” a young doctor exclaimed. Her tone sounded like a complaint, but she had a bright smile on her face.

The people in the carriage chimed in, "Yes, this is the first time I've ever seen such enthusiastic people."

"Someone just threw a carrot at me, and it hit me on the head."

"I'm terrified of chickens. That rooster suddenly flew towards me, it scared me to death!"

"I should have listened to Dr. Mei and left before dawn."

"Did Sister Mei often receive such thanks before?" someone asked Mei Leshu curiously.

Mei Leshu recalled for a moment, her face full of smiles, "Yes, they were so enthusiastic that I couldn't refuse, so I always sneaked away late at night."

The others laughed: "A miscalculation, a miscalculation."

“When I was in Anling before, the villagers were grateful to me, but it wasn’t this exaggerated.”

"Oh dear, can a common fever or cold be compared to an epidemic?"

Listening to the casual conversations of her colleagues whom she had become familiar with over this period, from the people of Lechi County to the people of Anling County, then to the newly conquered Yuanxi County, and the newly established health departments in each county, Mei Leshu was filled with anticipation for Anling County.

Can that goddess really help her find her junior sister?

She subconsciously pulled out the letter that the governor of Qingzhou had specially sent to her.

The letter said that Xue Rang wanted to see her and invited her to come to the capital.

Xue Rang.

Mei Leshu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the son-in-law of the treacherous Lu Wei and her junior sister's childhood sweetheart were not just people with the same name, but the same person?

Anling County, Goddess's Palace.

He Qinglan looked at the pink light in her left palm; it was a gift for Mei Leshu.

A time magic lent to her by a member of their "Quick Transmigrator Alliance" group nicknamed "Who Says Magical Girls Have to Be Magic Attackers" could "capture and record past events and play them out as three-dimensional images."

As expected of a magical girl, she can actually travel back in time.

The pink light shone on the young woman's face, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips: My lovely Minister of Health wants to seek justice for her innocent and wrongfully killed junior sister, so of course she has to produce decisive evidence to kill her in one fell swoop.

Instead of acting as a catalyst for the romance between the male and female leads, he becomes the clown.

However, given Xu Nanxing and Mei Leshu's speed, they would have already passed the Lantern Festival by the time they returned to Anling.

He Qinglan closed her five fingers and put away the ball of pink light.

She planned to first meet with Zhao Jiashu, the governor of Qingzhou, and "have a talk" with him.

Longyuan Academy.

A group of students who had just finished their exams were happily packing their things, preparing to ask for leave to go play outside the academy.

"I want to go shopping, and I want to eat duck neck!"

"I've finished writing in my notebook, and I want to buy a new one. Let's go together."

"East Market or West Market?"

"The West Market is open?!"

“A few days ago, I went to deliver homework to Master Chen and overheard him talking to other teachers about how the West Market had opened.”

"Wow, I definitely have to go check it out!"

The girls happily made plans to go shopping at the West Market.

The boys discussed where to go for some exercise.

"Basketball, basketball, I want to play basketball!"

"But I think table tennis is also good, and playing basketball all the time is also annoying."

"Table tennis is a two-player sport, while basketball is a multi-player sport, so everyone can play together."

"If you insist on talking about a sport that everyone can play together, why don't you go play soccer?"

"...Let's decide with rock-paper-scissors, whoever wins gets to decide."

Some people were holding newspapers, concerned about the recent situation.

"The epidemic in Gyeongju is over, and the medical team is on their way back."

Wow! The doctors in Anling are amazing!

"After they come back, they'll be assigned to the health departments of three counties, right?"

"Some people want to join the Ministry of Health, while others work in medical clinics."

“I remember that the goddess set a quota for Doctor Xu: one doctor per village.”

"Is it possible to have one doctor per village?"

"Yes, we don't have many doctors right now, but there are also few villages."

“I’m thinking…” Ji Yuanheng suddenly spoke, causing several classmates present to turn their heads to look at her, waiting for her to speak.

As expected, the academic representative said, "The Ministry of Finance needs people who are good at math, the Ministry of Justice needs people who are proficient in law, the Ministry of Health needs people who have studied medicine..." She paused and continued, "Will these departments conduct separate exams when recruiting new employees in the future?"

After hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

Someone clapped excitedly, "Does Ah Heng mean that, for example, the Ministry of Finance might conduct a math exam first?"

"The Ministry of Health wouldn't hire someone who doesn't understand medical knowledge, would it? And the method of testing is an exam." Someone stroked their chin thoughtfully.

“What the class representative said makes a lot of sense,” someone said, arms crossed. “Right now we’re short-staffed, and everyone’s knowledge level is about the same. We can recruit them and train them gradually, but later on there will be more capable people…”

“There will definitely be a screening process,” Liang Xingqi said.

After saying this, he raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Fortunately, we were born in Anling, so the requirements for our exams aren't that high."

Others: "..."

That's true.

Liang Xingqi waved his hand, "Don't worry about things so far in the future! General Hu and his men have just set out to attack the neighboring prefectures." There are plenty of official positions to be filled.

"Huh? Are they planning to take over one prefecture at a time?"

“Governor Hu Lin isn’t stupid; he wouldn’t let us encroach on his territory.”

"That's true."

"But Hu Lin sent troops to attack us several times before, and he didn't win, did he?"

"That's right. In that case, wouldn't Jinzhou be rightfully the goddess's?"

"I've already said it, Hu Lin isn't stupid. Even if he can't win, he knows how to cooperate with others."

"Like Chaozhou."

"You mean... Hu Lin will team up with someone to attack us?"

Liang Xingqi recalled the history books he had read and laughed, "But we're not fools either, we won't let them cooperate to fight us."

The propaganda and intelligence departments are not to be underestimated.

Ningzhou.

After reading the letter Ye Hui handed him, Zhu Yunwei casually took it to the strategist sitting to his right, then looked at Ye Hui seriously, "What are your thoughts?"

Ye Hui smiled slightly, "It's better to watch He Qinglan's territory grow stronger than to see Jinzhou fall into Sun Yannan's hands."

Zhu Yunwei remained silent upon hearing this.

Indeed, Jinzhou falling into He Qinglan's hands is not much different from it being in Hu Lin's hands. At present, it is impossible for He Qinglan to break ties with Ningzhou.

Their business will continue.

But once Sun Yannan captures Jinzhou, his next target will be Ningzhou!

Sun Yannan, who controls three states, poses a great threat.

“But,” Xu Dongyang recalled the large grove of out-of-season lychee trees in Lujiang County, his brows furrowing unconsciously, “He Qinglan is a very strange person, I always feel that she is very dangerous.”

Ye Hui smiled and said, "She can provide the people of three counties with an unlimited supply of five dishes and a soup. Could she be an ordinary person?"

Xu Dongyang: "..."

He looked at Ye Hui, "Madam, you..."

Ye Hui said, "I don't care whether she's a goddess or a demon; I only care whether she's useful to us."

Ye Hui made her stance clear, and the strategists and generals understood her meaning.

A middle-aged man who was only fifty years old said, "In that case, Madam, you should send a letter to Lu Hong in the name of the governor."

The aim was to sow discord between Lu Hong and Sun Yannan.

Another young man in his twenties frowned. "Even if He Qinglan can persuade Zhao Jiashu, it won't be that easy to break the alliance between the Lu and Sun families, will it?"

Ye Hui laughed, "Then let's see what He Qinglan can do."

The young man thought, "That's true. We've already given her a lot of face by helping her with this. The one in crisis right now is her, not us."

Zhu Yunwei said, "The northern court is the real enemy of Lu and Sun. If He Qinglan can incite Lu Wei to send troops, Sun Yannan will have no time to pay attention to He Qinglan."

Then He Qinglan will have time to confront Hu Lin head-on.

“The court in the north…” Ye Hui frowned. “According to my intelligence, there may be some turmoil in the court recently…”

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room turned to look at Ye Hui.

Ye Hui didn't hide anything, "Grand Commandant."

Everyone was shocked. It was Yang Yun, one of the Three Dukes and Grand Commandant!

"What... could have happened to Yang Yun?"

"Does Lu Wei dare to lay a hand on Yang Yun?"

"It's also possible that Yang Yun is planning to make a move against Lu Wei!"

"If the imperial court falls into chaos, then...wouldn't Sun Yannan, Lu Hong, and the others......"

"It depends on how chaotic things get in the court and how long it lasts."

Ye Hui's eyes were sharp; He Qinglan would surely seize this opportunity to attack Jinzhou.

It's unclear how long Hu Lin can hold out.
