Jiang Bai smiled gently, finished writing the letter to Zhao Yi, put it in her bosom, and prepared to go out.

Yuan Mo stopped her and took out a medicine bottle from his pocket: "This medicine can suppress the mother-child gu in your body. One pill a month. It's Li Kejun's stuff, so it's best not to use it lightly."

When Jiang Bai left, Li Kejun gave her medicine to suppress the Gu worms in order to solve the problem of the Gu worms on her body, but as Yuan Mo said, his medicine should be treated with caution.

Jiang Bai took the medicine from Yuan Mo, swallowed one pill, and then went out.

She was the only one in the group who was familiar with the outside world, so the task of gathering information fell to her.

She muttered "the capable should do more work" as she dragged her tired body out the door.

Unexpectedly, just as he went down the stairs, he saw Tong Yan in the lobby downstairs. He was sitting on a bench with his legs crossed, chatting happily with a group of people around him.

Seeing her come down, he immediately stood up: "Where are you going, sister?"

He called out naturally, and Jiang Bai was taken aback for a moment before responding calmly: "I need to go buy some clothes for everyone, because the old clothes are all torn."

She made up a lie and then tried to leave the inn.

Tongyan immediately followed, and the others, seeing that they were about to go out, warned them not to go out, saying that things were not safe outside.

Jiang Bai glanced at Tong Yan, and seeing Tong Yan's relieved expression, she thanked everyone before continuing to walk towards the main street.

After walking a short distance down the street, Jiang Bai asked, "Have you already found out what happened?"

Tong Yan nodded: "I have already inquired as an outsider and we have not been exposed. A distinguished person has come to the city. He is General Lei Ting of the Great Chu Kingdom. He was ambushed and injured on his way back to the capital to report on his duties. He is recuperating in the county magistrate's office in this city. Fearing that villains might ambush him, we have increased the patrols."

Jiang Bai looked at him in surprise: "I didn't expect you to be so cautious at such a young age. You even know not to reveal your identity casually. It seems your master was right. You're a great assistant."

Upon hearing the word "assistant," Tong Yan's face darkened for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure: "Hmph! I will definitely impress Master and the Holy Maiden. Anyway, I'm not just good at being an assistant! By the way, may I call you 'elder sister' from now on? I think it would be more appropriate."

Jiang Bai had previously instructed them to call her "Manager Jiang" as soon as they left the house, but Tong Yan felt awkward about it.

"Alright, call me whatever you want."

She liked his cleverness, and there was no reason not to agree. Why not take such a smart younger brother?

After she agreed to his request, she took him for a walk around the streets and delivered a letter to the Zhao family. Someone from the Zhao family would then deliver the letter to Zhao Yi. Afterward, she pretended to buy some things and went to the money exchange to withdraw some money.

This is a major trade route with several large money shops that can meet the withdrawal needs of merchants from various countries.

Jiang Bai still has some of his belongings, which contain tokens that can be used to withdraw money.

This was an unexpected joy for her, as she had thought they had been going through a very miserable time.

Tong Yan was very curious about everything on the street, but he knew how to restrain himself. Wouldn't his ignorant appearance easily expose his identity?

Jiang Bai looked at his feigned calm and profound demeanor, shook his head slightly and smiled.

The two also went to the county government office, where the guards were much stricter than elsewhere, making it extremely difficult to get in and out.

"Go back and discuss it with your master first, and we'll think of a solution tomorrow."

Jiang Bai pulled Tong Yan to leave, but the latter did not follow her. He stared at the gate, unblinking: "Look, a group of people are coming out."

He pulled Jiang Bai aside and hid in a short alley across the street. Jiang Bai turned around and saw the group of people holding a stack of papers and walking out quickly.

Those people stopped at one notice board, posted a bunch of notices, and then moved on to several other places to post notices.

It was night market time, and there were a few people on the street. After a while, Jiang Bai saw that several people had gathered around, so he pulled Tong Yan forward.

By the dim candlelight, the two could see that it was a job posting.

General Leiting's injuries are too severe, and there is an urgent need to recruit skilled folk healers to enter the county government office to treat his wounds. Those who perform meritorious treatment will be rewarded with 20,000 taels of silver.

Those who read the notice held their breath, then exclaimed and dispersed.

Jiang Bai was also somewhat stunned. Twenty thousand taels of silver?

"Sister?" Tongyan called her.

She then came to her senses and immediately pulled him away from there, returning to the inn.

Inside the room, Yuan Mo was still waiting for the two of them.

"How is it?"

Jiang Bai glanced at Tong Yan, who then recounted what he had found out to Yuan Mo.

After he finished speaking, Jiang Bai continued, "When we went out just now, it was already late at night, but the people from the government office hurriedly posted notices to recruit doctors and offered high rewards. I guess there are two possibilities. One is that General Lei Ting ordered this to use this urgent situation to mislead the enemy and create the illusion that he is about to die. Perhaps the enemy will send someone to pretend to be a doctor to enter the government office to ensure that he is safe."

"Secondly, it is true that General Leiting is critically ill. The situation is so urgent that the magistrate sent people to post notices in the middle of the night. If the second possibility is true, then our opportunity has come. Treating General Leiting will not only save the hero in people's hearts, which is a good thing, but it will also help us gain fame."

And of course, there's the hefty reward; how could anyone not be tempted?

Yuan Mo nodded: "Tomorrow, the three of us will enter the manor to investigate the situation."

Jiang Bai shook his head: "No, let's wait a few more days. With such a high reward, many people will definitely try their luck. If the magistrate can't find someone who can truly cure the disease, he will be furious. If we blend in with these people, we might not even get to see the general and will just be dealt with and sent away casually."

With so many opportunists taking advantage of the situation, those with genuine skills are also easily harmed.

Tong Yan frowned: "What if General Lei Ting can't hold on?"

If the general were to die from his injuries, wouldn't that opportunity have been wasted?

"No, when such a critical situation occurs, the county government will post a notice again to increase the reward, and then we will enter."

By then, a number of those who were trying to take advantage of the situation will have been filtered out, and the situation will be better. Moreover, perhaps the general was just testing the enemy; if the first wave of enemies is discovered, there might not be a second announcement.

"What if someone heals General Thunder before us?" Tong Yan was still puzzled and uneasy.

He thought Jiang Bai would give some other reason this time, but to his surprise, the other party's answer left him speechless.

"General Lei Ting has a distinguished record of military exploits. If he has been rescued, that's fine too. Such a person is naturally blessed, so it's normal for him to be rescued by a merchant. Let's wait for the next opportunity."
