627 The second strongest is confused
Three days later, Ping'an and his medical team, carrying medicinal materials, distanced themselves from General Hao and his food and fodder team.
More than one hundred doctors, plus the five hundred officers and soldiers accompanying them, also formed a huge team.
With so many people, they could only sleep in tents at night, cook porridge and eat dry food on the roadside, or send people to buy steamed buns from shops along the way.
If a few people go to the hotel, others will definitely feel uncomfortable.
Ping An and his master assisted Zhu Yuanzheng in managing all the doctors, while Zhang Jinping and Bai Jiaxuan assisted in managing the 500 officers and soldiers who escorted the medicinal materials.
Needless to say, the hard work involved.
Another two days passed and we passed through Jinzhou City in the afternoon.
After Erqiang settled everyone down, he took Huzi and Fang Wu to the street as it was still early. It was still five or six days' journey from here to the capital, so he had to buy the necessary daily necessities for the journey.
Chen Xuan followed with two guards.
After a few people started shopping, the carriage was soon half full.
Erqiang thought that his aunt had been in a bad mood ever since she met the Fu mother and son. He asked her about it, but couldn't get any answers. His aunt just said that she was tired.
I don’t know what Mrs. Fu said to make my aunt unhappy.
Why don’t we go back and talk to my uncle? If not, we can just rest here for one more day tomorrow. Women usually feel good after some shopping.
"Master, it's Master." Hu Zi was surprised and happy, and even used his lightness skills to catch up with him.
"Master? Are you safe?"
Erqiang was confused.
Chen Xuan was also confused. How could he meet Ping An in this place?
The two saw that Hu Zi and Fang Wu had run to the other side of the street and stopped. Who else could those three people be but Ping An, Lin Feng and Xiao Wu?
Erqiang and Chen Xuan rushed over in a hurry. They had been separated for almost three months and they really wanted to be safe again.
"Safety."
"Safety."
Ping An looked at Erqiang, Chen Xuan and others with a smile.
"What a coincidence, I actually met you here. Are my parents staying at the inn?"
Er Qiang nodded: "Ping An, why are you here?"
This is also what Chen Xuan wanted to ask.
Ping An looked around and said, "Lin Feng, Xiao Wu, you two go buy some things first. I'll wait for you here."
Lin Feng and Xiao Wu nodded and left.
"I don't have time to take you to the restaurant to explain in detail, and you have to return to the inn early, so let's make it short.
Erqiang, Chen Xuan, there was a severe flood in Jiangnan. It has been more than half a month since the flood, and we still don’t know what the situation is now.
My master and I were accompanied by ten other imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau. We also recruited more than a hundred doctors from the public. In addition, there was General Hao who led three thousand soldiers to escort food, but they were a little behind us. We also had several hundred soldiers escorting medicinal materials.
So, we had to live in tents, buy steamed buns, and cook porridge on the roadside. Lin Feng and I came out to buy these."
Chen Xuan frowned: "Are you and the eldest son sent by the court?"
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't want to go."
He had to go even if he didn't want to. He couldn't ignore Huo Zhi's letter for help, and there was also Wang Qing's family.
Erqiang's face turned pale. "Ping An, it's not good to have a flood at this time. It's easy to happen."
He looked at Ping An in horror and grabbed him with one hand: "No, I have to go with you."
Ping'an felt warm in his heart. The cousin in front of him had followed him since he was eleven years old. He was three and a half years older than him, but he had always been loyal to him and was willing to do anything for him.
"Erqiang, you can't go with me. Dad, Mom, and your brothers and sisters are all counting on you to take care of them. There are also Awu and Muyang. Awu is pregnant and will give birth after the Lantern Festival. If we can't make it back by then, I won't be at ease if you're not at home."
Er Qiang's eyes turned red: "We have Da Wu and the others at home. How can I be at ease if you go to a place like this? I must go with you."
Chen Xuan's heart ached, but he had to take up his post in ten days and could not delay. Besides, his kung fu was not good enough and he could not be a doctor, so he would not be of much use in the future.
"Cousin, I haven't called you this in a while. Forget it, it's better to call you Erqiang. Erqiang, listen, don't tell my parents about this for now. They will know it when we return to the capital.
Also, I'm entrusting my home to you. You have to take Fang Wu and Hu Zi with you to protect my family, and you both have to live in the mansion."
Fang Wu and Hu Zi quit.
"Master, Hu Zi and I must go with you, Er Qiang will stay behind."
Ping An patted them on the shoulders and said, "Listen, I brought Xiao Wu, Lin Feng, Xiao Ming and Xiao Shan with me. Qing Shi and his men have to guard the hospital, and Da Wu and his men have to guard the manor. This time I moved almost all the medicines in my house. Master Qin and his men don't have enough manpower to make medicine this year.
You have to help Erqiang and Dawu. We thought we had enough people before, but Wanhua took more than 30 people out, and the hospital also needs people, so we are no longer able to handle the staff."
None of the three spoke.
They all understand medicine and know that plague is likely to break out in such situations. How can they reassure the master and the eldest son?
Chen Xuan felt sad, but he couldn't say anything. He forced a smile and said, "Ping An, we met Fu An and his mother on the road. He was returning to Beijing to report on his work."
Er Qiang muttered, "My aunt was quite happy when she met them, but the next day I saw that she was in a bad mood. When I asked her, she just said she was tired."
Chen Xuan also looked at Ping An.
He had a rough idea in his mind, but it was not convenient to ask.
Ping An lowered his eyes, "It's okay, maybe I'm just tired. Er Qiang, after returning to Beijing, you can take Fang Wu and Hu Zi to live in the mansion. If there are not enough people in the village, let Da Wu go to the pawnshop to find people.
Don't worry, we will come back safely. You don't trust others, but you can trust us? Uncle Ming and Uncle He brought more than a dozen people with them. "
My mother's mood changed after she met Fu An and his mother. It was simply because something had changed between Xier and Fu An.
The reason for the change was simply that Fu An had someone else and the marriage could not be completed.
It's nothing.
After all, the Wan family had never agreed to this matter, nor had it ever been really put on the table, and Xier didn't even know about it.
The Wan family is now a marquisate, and the Fu family is just a fourth-rank local official. If the two families were to marry, the Fu family would be considered marrying above their station.
In this case, if there is a change in the marriage, it must be because of an unexpected situation.
Fu An is not the kind of person who is easily tempted by new things, so he fell into a trap set by others.
If a person continues to be careless and does not change, he will sooner or later have to pay the price for this character.
My mother was in a bad mood because she had been carrying this matter to her heart for the past few years.
His father had always been optimistic about Chen Xuan, but unfortunately Chen Xuan was too old, three years older than himself and twelve years older than Xier, so naturally he would not be able to succeed.
Xiao Wu and Lin Feng came over carrying baskets, and each of them also carried a large backpack. There were two or three hundred steamed buns for more than a hundred people.
They also booked for the whole day tomorrow, and the people in the shop will deliver it directly out of the city early tomorrow morning.
"Chen Xuan, Er Qiang, Fang Wu, Hu Zi, we are leaving. Remember, just pretend you didn't see us, and don't tell anyone about Jiangnan."
Erqiang lowered his head and said nothing, but he couldn't help but listen to Ping'an.
Chen Xuan said, "Ping An, you must take good care of yourselves. You can only save others when you are safe. Always remember that a gentleman should take care of his own interests first. Don't worry about your family. I will visit you often."
