"Your Highness, is there anything you require me to do?"
Seeing that Ge Qiang was still as respectful to him as before, Ouyang Yuqing thought to himself that it would take some time before these loyal 'friends' changed their minds and called him brother.
"Geqiang, we called you here so late because we wanted you to come with us to that dense forest to set up a temporary shelter for our caravan."
Ge Qiang was puzzled when he heard Ouyang Yuqing say that she wanted to build a shelter in the dense forest.
"Your Highness, haven't we been staying here quite well?"
Why build another place to stay there?
Upon hearing Ge Qiang's question, Ouyang Yuqing said to Ge Qiang, "Come with us first, and I'll explain on the way."
Ge Qiang knew that Ouyang Yuqing and his wife had been spending their days in the county town providing disaster relief and treating the plague.
This time, he probably just finished up over there and is now taking a break to come back and handle things here!
"Yes, Your Highness!"
After Ouyang Yuqing finished speaking with Ge Qiang, seeing that he was about to leave with him, he said to the guard beside him, "Protect the carriage caravan!"
The guards, upon receiving the order, replied "Yes!" and then concealed themselves in the shadows to protect the caravan.
After giving instructions to the guards, Ouyang Yuqing turned to look at Shen Yingying.
Shen Yingying could tell what Ouyang Yuqing was thinking just by looking at her.
"Grab Ge Qiang and let's go!"
Upon hearing what Shen Yingying said, Ouyang Yuqing turned to look at Ge Qiang.
He held Ge Qiang's arm and said, "Don't panic!"
Seeing that Ouyang Yuqing had grabbed someone, Shen Yingying began to teleport.
The dense forest isn't far from Chaoyang County, about fifteen or sixteen kilometers away (equivalent to about thirty li).
Shen Yingying teleported to the dense forest in a few moments.
As soon as the three of them stopped, the couple began to discuss where to set up a shelter in the dense forest.
Ge Qiang's heart pounded as he watched the couple discuss matters, thinking to himself: "The princess is truly amazing; she can easily control such a teleportation technique."
It seems he needs to work harder on his cultivation, otherwise when will he be able to help the prince and princess?
Ouyang Yuqing and her husband had no idea what Ge Qiang was thinking.
They were discussing the dense forest at that moment.
To be honest, this dense forest, although it is called a dense forest...
But now, due to the drought, the trees here have long since died.
Dry, fallen leaves lay scattered on the ground between the trees in the dense forest.
The dead trees were also bare at this time.
Ouyang Yuqing and Shen Yingying discussed that they planned to build a carriageway along the dead trees by the roadside.
Let's find a place to settle down halfway up the dense forest.
In this way, the fleeing people passing by were so focused on getting into the city that they would not pay attention to the desolate roads that the refugees had cleared.
The reason for building the settlement halfway up the mountain was to make it easier to get out.
Being too close to the official road might attract refugees who would hear the sounds of their daily lives here and come here.
If it's built too far away, it doesn't seem necessary.
No sooner said than done, the two agreed on a location and Shen Yingying began to show off her skills.
Shen Yingying's superpower is at the fifth level across all elements. She first used her earth-elemental superpower to rummage through the dense forest.
In no time, Shen Yingying had cleared a path for the carriage to pass through.
Ge Qiang had been watching the couple closely. When he saw Shen Yingying's actions, he became even more determined to work harder to improve his superpowers.
Ge Qiang thought to himself, "The princess's move was absolutely brilliant."
Not only were the paths cleared through the dense forest neatly arranged, but the uprooted dead trees were also carefully sorted out and placed aside by the princess.
Shen Yingying looked at the carriageway that had been cleared, and then smoothed out the road surface.
But she didn't compact the passageway too much, because it would have to be rebuilt after the famine years.
She couldn't compact the road surface too much; she only needed to press it down enough so that people could walk steadily and carriages wouldn't collapse.
