As Miss Bai finished her words, Yu Qi said, "I received the news at the royal court of the Helian tribe."
Although Princess Changning was left in the Helian tribe, she no longer had to follow the Northern Barbarian Chanyu and live in fear day and night.
But it was not completely out of the control of the Chanyu. One should know that there were many spies from the Huyan tribe planted by the Chanyu in the royal court of the Helian tribe.
On the surface, Princess Changning still had to pretend, and people from Tianshu Pavilion like Yu Qi, except Yu Qi who had already passed the open road, had to hide in the dark to protect Princess Changning.
"As soon as I heard the news, I rushed here. I won't be able to feel at ease unless I see you in person." Yu Qi said.
"What about the princess..." Wei Yunlan's eyes were filled with worry.
"It's all right over there for now. Although the spies planted by the Chanyu have not been dealt with, we have caught them all. They thought they were spying on Princess Changning and Prince Helian and his wife, but it's still unclear who is actually spying on whom."
Yu Qi said: "There are two cleaning girls around the princess. They are our people. They can protect the princess when I am not around."
Wei Yunlan still trusts the skills of the people in Tianshu Pavilion.
Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "How is my cousin's health now? Is she getting better?"
When they left Beiman, their cousin Princess Changning looked very bad and weak.
"It's much better now." Yu Qi replied, "Old Doctor Yu recommended a gynecologist to us. The master sent someone from Changzhou to find her. She arrived at the royal court of the Helian tribe a month ago."
Miss Bai obviously knew about this, and with a slight smile on her face, she said, "Under the care of that doctor, not only has the princess's complexion improved a lot, but even Princess Helian's old illness has also improved a lot."
"It seems that the doctor has extraordinary skills." Wei Yunlan sighed.
But what is even more amazing is that Doctor Yu really has a wide range of friends and even knows a doctor whose medical skills are as good as those of the imperial physicians in the palace.
I'm afraid he himself cannot treat us as an ordinary barefoot doctor from the countryside. I think he has another background.
"Miss Wei, did you have a smooth journey?" Yu Qi saw Wei Yunlan and her group of five standing here in good condition, and he already had the answer in his mind.
They were already successful as they were able to visit the northwestern countries and return without losing a single person.
Sure enough, Wei Yunlan replied with a smile: "It went smoothly."
There were no outsiders in the room. Apart from the five of them, there were only Miss Bai and Yu Qi. "We found the legendary northwestern countries. The land there is vast and the population is sparse. Although the soil and weather are not as suitable for farming as in Dayong, there are many crops that Dayong does not have. We brought some back."
As he said that, Wei Yunlan asked Suihe to untie the bag.
There happened to be two roasted potatoes in it. They were roasted the last time we stopped to rest. They were a little cold now, but they still emitted a faint fragrance.
"What is this?" Miss Bai and Yu Qi looked at each other.
"Try it? This is one of the crops we brought back from the northwestern countries." Wei Yunlan asked Suihe to heat up two roasted sweet potatoes on the small stove for making tea.
The scent was stronger than before.
Miss Bai and Yu Qi each took one and followed Wei Yunlan's instructions. They tore open the slightly burnt outer skin and took a bite of the soft and glutinous white part inside.
Yu Qi had come all the way from the royal court on horseback and was already very hungry. In no time, he had finished the whole roasted sweet potato in big mouthfuls.
"This stuff is delicious. It tastes even better than the most expensive green stem rice on the market."
Miss Bai thought more, "Is this crop easy to grow?"
If it only tastes good, but is complicated and difficult to grow, and its yield per mu is not as good as ordinary rice, I am afraid that even if it is grown, it can only satisfy the appetites of a small number of powerful people.
"It's not difficult." Wei Yunlan didn't say it was easy to grow. After all, she hadn't really tried it herself, so she didn't dare to boast. She only said, "If it's grown well, the yield per mu will be much higher than the existing crops in Dayong. We are rushing back to bring the seeds back as soon as possible. Fortunately, the farmlands in the Huangzhou area have begun to try to grow this crop."
"So that's how it is." Miss Bai nodded in understanding.
"We have to hurry up. If we can have one more crop with high yield per mu, it will be a great thing for the people. I learned from the letter from home that food is in short supply in all parts of Dayong. The army stationed in the north also seems to be short of food. A deputy under General Shi even proposed some time ago that the rich families in Beiguan City should donate food..."
"Is there such a thing?" Wei Yunlan was a little surprised.
Last year, Dayong was hit by floods and then an earthquake, which affected nearly ten states and caused famine in many places. But it was far from the worst time in Wei Yunlan's memory.
Moreover, the situation in this life has improved a lot compared to the previous life. She thought that it would not affect the troops stationed in the north so quickly... at least it would not affect them now. After all, even if they were short of anything, they could not be short of military rations, especially now that the northern border was still experiencing frictions and small wars with the northern barbarians.
But after listening to what Miss Bai said, she realized that she had taken it for granted before.
With someone as confused as Emperor Xiaoming sitting on the throne, it seems not impossible that the northern army would be short of rations...
Taking a deep breath, Wei Yunlan said, "When we return to Beiguan, we will contact Mr. Xiao and see if we can come up with any solution."
While several people were talking, the person from Tianshu Pavilion who was guarding outside the tent coughed twice to alert the people inside.
"What's wrong?" Yu Qi asked, letting someone in.
"Over at Yingtu Ranch, the Second Prince Helian just sent someone over."
"Huh?" Miss Bai was stunned when she heard that.
She had just left Yingtu Ranch a few hours ago. Why did the Second Prince send someone over now?
"Miss Wei, I'll go see what happened." Even though Xishan Ranch is now under the control of Tianshu Pavilion and the Second Prince's men.
On the ranch, everyone is always careful.
The whereabouts of Wei Yunlan and others are absolutely a secret among secrets. Even in front of the Second Prince's men, Miss Bai is unwilling to expose it.
Like the big tent they are in now, it is located in the part of the entire Xishan Ranch closest to the mountain, and only people from Tianshu Pavilion are stationed around it.
Not long after she left, Miss Bai came back, her expression obviously more serious than before.
Wei Yunlan's heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked, "What happened?"
"Do you still remember the young master Nanxing who was once mentioned by someone in the Northern Barbarians?" Miss Bai asked with a heavy heart.
"I remember." Wei Yunlan nodded. Wasn't it Master Nanxing who sent Miss Bai and those Dayong women to various tribes?
"He has come to the Helian tribe."
Miss Bai frowned and said hurriedly, "The Second Prince reminded us to be careful and it's best not to leave the West Mountain Ranch yet."
