Chapter 141: Throwing Hundreds of Jin of Paint and Sacrificing an Army Battalion
After the heavy rain, the flood has not yet dissipated and the roads in the countryside are very muddy and difficult to walk on.
Deng Youning brought two trucks of goods to the place where Deng Ren and his team were providing disaster relief.
Seeing a luxurious carriage coming from afar, a few soldiers of the Deng family army did not pay much attention to it until they saw the "Deng" family flag flying on the carriage, then they came out to check.
When they found out that the visitor was Princess Youning, they hurriedly called over the Duke of Zhenguo, who was personally helping the common people to modify their houses, and the Ninth Prince, who was paving the road and driving piles.
Deng Youning came alone this time, while Deng Yan'an and Li Tianzhuo were both busy with official business in Beijing.
"Ningning, why are you here?"
"This place is too dirty, don't come down, or your skirt will get stained with mud!"
Deng Ren specially found some stones and asked her to step on them.
Deng Youning looked around carefully and found that everyone had their trouser legs rolled up.
The ground was indeed muddy and all the houses around had been washed away and were waiting to be rebuilt. Deng Ren, Jun Chenyi and others lived in simple tents.
Deng Youning felt that it was indeed inconvenient for her to stay in this place for long, so she said a few words to them, left the two cars of things, and left.
Not far from the place where Deng Ren and his team were providing disaster relief, there was an extremely high mountain called Taoxi Mountain.
Han Qiongyue's Huayan women's army was stationed here.
There were not many people left in the army, because more people were in the saltpeter, lithosphere and water mines throughout the Dongji Kingdom, refining gunpowder and lacquer.
However, every once in a while, firearms refined in other places would be transported here for preservation.
Naturally, this place is also heavily guarded, making it difficult for ordinary people to get close.
Deng Youning went out of the city for two reasons: one was to deliver supplies to his uncle and cousin; the other was to come here specifically.
Arriving at the foot of Taoxi Mountain and looking at the Huayan Army base on the top of the mountain, she touched the ruby ring on her finger.
Although her grandmother gave her the Huayan Army's military token, this was her first time to visit the military base.
"Miss, look, there is a person over there, and I don't know if he is dead or alive?"
While Deng Youning was thinking about something, Yingshi, who was just hurrying along in front of her, noticed a girl lying on the side of the road, seriously injured.
Hearing the voice, Deng Youning came back to his senses.
"Let's go and take a look."
She walked over there quickly. No matter whether the person was dead or alive, she had to give him some treatment first.
Ying Shi put her hand on the tip of the girl's nose, and suddenly her eyes widened in surprise, "Miss, you're still breathing!"
"She's poisoned!" Deng Youning simply took her pulse.
Fortunately, it was just poisoning, otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to save him.
She asked Yingshi to feed the girl a pill and some water. In less than a moment, the girl spat out a large mouthful of poisonous blood and came to herself. She found that she had been rescued and the poison in her body had been mostly removed. She looked at Deng Youning with gratitude.
"Girl, although I have cured you of the poison, I cannot heal your injuries. It is best for you to find a doctor to prescribe some tonic."
Deng Youning suggested.
She can cure poison, but she can't prescribe medicine for injuries.
"Thank you very much for saving my life, young lady."
The girl quickly stood up and bowed to Deng Youning.
Deng Youning just smiled at her, indicating that she was welcome. She was kind-hearted and would naturally save someone if she saw him dying.
A few months ago outside the Wanshe Valley in Nanxin, if she had not been kind enough to save Han Qiongyue, she would not have known that she was her own grandmother, and would not have encountered what she is experiencing now.
"This is the base of the Huayan Army. If you have nothing else to do, you should go home quickly."
Deng Youning gave him a worried remark and wanted to turn around and go up the mountain.
Seeing that she was looking for Hua Yanjun, the girl quickly dodged and came in front of Deng Youning.
Seeing that she was quite skilled, Deng Youning became curious as to how she got poisoned.
"Miss, are you going to the military camp?"
"The Huayan Army does not receive outsiders."
The girl's attitude towards Deng Youning changed drastically, as if if she dared to go up the mountain, the two of them would go from being benefactors to enemies.
"Our young lady is not an outsider. The entire Huayan Army belongs to her. The old lady has already given her the military token."
Ying Shi pouted and revealed Deng Youning's identity with dissatisfaction.
When she mentioned the military token, the girl quickly looked at the ruby ring on Deng Youning's hand.
It is indeed a military talisman!
She took another careful look at the girl in front of her and felt that she did look like General Han, so she asked tentatively:
"May I ask if you are the Princess Youning of the Zhenguo Mansion?"
Deng Youning smiled in agreement.
Ying Shiya was finally satisfied, "You have good eyesight. Can our lady go up now?"
But the girl still shook her head, with a bitter and resentful expression on her face.
"Still can't?"
Yingshi's expression gradually became ugly.
"Why on earth are you stopping me?"
Deng Youning always felt that the female soldier had a strange expression on her face, and since she was poisoned, it was obvious that she had encountered the enemy. Could something have happened in the military camp?
Sure enough, the next second, the girl knelt on one knee and said in a bitter tone:
"County Lady, I'm sorry to General Han!"
"I am from the Lithium Water Mine in Shengzhou. Half a month ago, I sent a batch of several hundred kilograms of lacquer from Shengzhou. Unexpectedly, the road was blocked by heavy rain. When I was camping in an inn, I was attacked and all the lacquer was stolen."
"Our Captain Yang has ordered that the news be temporarily blocked from the military camp and General Han until we can do our best to track down Shiqi's whereabouts."
"A few days ago, my subordinates and others discovered an army with a blue dragon flag near Shengzhou. They were suspected of carrying a large amount of stone lacquer. However, only our Huayan Army has stone lacquer. Other armies cannot have it, and in such large quantities."
"I and others confronted them. They outnumbered us and killed all of our sisters. Only I came back injured."
"Those people didn't want to leave me alive. The arrows that shot me were all coated with poison!"
The female soldier gritted her teeth, became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and her fists clenched tighter and tighter.
Not only did they lose the stone paint in their battalion, but she was the only one left as well. With such a deep hatred in her heart, she wanted to rush back to Shengzhou and seek revenge on those people right away.
After hearing this, Deng Youning forced herself to calm down.
The army we encountered in Shengzhou, whose flag was the Canglong, could only be the Canglong Guard led by Jun Wenci.
Shengzhou is the only way to Qingzhou.
Judging from the time, even if Jun Wenci and the others walk slowly, they should be there!
"Captain Yang is too impulsive. The lacquer is lost, so it is lost. How can it be more important than your lives?"
"This time, you've lost your lives, but Shiqi hasn't come to patrol yet, has he?"
Yingshi really doesn't understand these people's style. They insist on rushing forward even though they know they can't win?
stubborn!
After hearing what Yingshi said, the female soldier became anxious and asked:
“Do you know how important stone paint is?”
"Those several hundred kilograms are enough to destroy an area of ten miles in radius!"
"All the houses and fields will be reduced to charcoal, and all the people will be blown to death or burned to death!"
"We, the Huayan Army, don't have the ability to defend our country, but we will never watch such a disaster happen."
The female soldiers' eyes were filled with tears. Now they still haven't got the lacquer back. If those people are not good people and use the lacquer to harm the people, then they will be guilty of a grave sin that cannot be redeemed.
