Prince Yimu suggested sending his own men to help, but the guards refused without a second thought. One of them said, "We've only dug half of the well. If you join in now, and finally dig out water, will the credit belong to us or to you Mobei people?"
Prince Yimu offered help with good intentions, but the guards not only refused to accept it, but mocked and ridiculed it.
Both sides are going to fight if you don't let me and I won't let you watch.
Most of the guards are powerful people in Kyoto, who have family support behind them. They are all ambitious but lack the ability to achieve success, and are fond of showing off. In fact, they have no practical ability.
Gu Yinwei clapped her hands, "Okay, that's great."
The guards heard the hidden meaning in Gu Yinwei's words, and they all stopped what they were doing and prepared to listen to Gu Yinwei's teachings.
The other party was the Queen Mother, and although they were not convinced, they had to obey her orders.
"Those who don't want to continue digging wells, please stand up." Gu Yinwei asked directly. The guards lowered their heads and no one stepped forward.
Prince Yimu stood aside and watched. Everyone was obviously dissatisfied, but no one was willing to stand up.
They appear obedient on the surface but make trouble behind the scenes. It seems that there are drawbacks in the management model of Xuanhua Kingdom. It seems that the city of Xuanhua Kingdom is not as impregnable as my father said.
"Since you don't want to leave, then do as I say and continue."
The guards then rolled up their sleeves and continued digging. They did hard work during the day and ate more than usual.
Soon the food in the post house was running out, so Gu Yinwei called Yang Xiaohuan to ask, "Where did the food in the post house come from before?"
“I grew it myself.”
"With yellow sand all around and scorpions everywhere, how can you grow food?"
Yang Xiaohuan scratched her head and stammered.
"There's always... there's always a place to grow food."
"Yang Xiaohuan, didn't you steal the food you had earlier?"
"No."
Yang Xiaohuan talked nonsense seriously.
"I don't bother to ask about the past. Since you have a way, just go find food."
Yang Xiaohuan asked, "How much do you want?"
"What do you think?"
Yang Xiaohuan scratched his head: "At least 200 kilograms."
"Just bring back the food according to your request. Let's make it clear that the food won't be given away for free. Once the supplies from Kyoto are shipped here, we'll return them."
Yang Xiaohuan nodded repeatedly, "It's easy to borrow again. Please wait, old man. I'll be back soon."
Bian Tao looked at Yang Xiaohuan's back and said meaningfully, "Master, do you need to find someone to follow her?"
"No, everyone has secrets."
Bian Tao was waiting by the side with his hands hanging down. Everyone has secrets, not only Yang Xiaohuan, but also Prince Yimu.
A faint rustling sound came from outside the window. A goldfinch took the lead, followed by a dozen chickens. A long-eared marten scurried across the rooftops. A carrier pigeon landed on the eaves and cooed. The long-eared marten rushed over and bit the pigeon's neck. The pigeon rolled its eyes in fear and fainted instantly.
Almond whistled in imitation of the call of the long-eared marten, and the long-eared marten quickly jumped down from the roof with the pigeon in its hands.
"Don't bite the pigeons, remember."
The long-eared mink was like a child who had done something wrong. Bian Tao took out a birdcage, put the unconscious pigeon into the cage, and then took out the letter from the pigeon's leg and showed it to Gu Yinwei.
"Master, the letter from Kyoto has arrived."
Gu Yinwei didn't stop writing, "Read."
"The concubine gave birth prematurely, and the prince is seriously ill. Return quickly."
Gu Yinwei put down his pen and sighed deeply. It was a turbulent time, with one wave after another rising.
"Your Majesty, the handwriting looks like it was sent by Concubine Xian. Before we left the palace, Your Majesty sent Chuchu to take care of Concubine Xi. Now that Concubine Xi has given birth prematurely, I'm afraid Chuchu's condition is not good."
"Bian Tao, you go back to Beijing first."
"Master, let's go back together."
"Master, I will stay here. You can go back first."
"I'm worried about you being here alone."
Gu Yinwei left the desk, tied her cloak, and said, "I can't wait any longer. Take the camel and I'll go find the princess."
"Master, I will go with you."
"No, you have to stay and calm people down. I will come back one day at the latest."
Gu Yinwei casually took a begonia branch from the vase, transformed it into a human form, and instructed, "Watch her. Keep these talismans safe."
Gu Yinwei put on a hood, led the camel, and ran towards the desert.
Prince Yimu's eyelids twitched, and his attendant brought a basin of water for him to wash his face.
"Prince, the people from the Central Plains seem very anxious. Why did the princess come to the post station?"
"She's had enough fun, so she came naturally. This prince's sister is full of poison. Even my father and mother are helpless against her. Can I force her?"
After washing up, Prince Yimu took out the moisturizer and applied it on his face. Mobei is windy and rainy, and the land is dry. It costs a lot of money every year to maintain his long face.
There was a whistling sound outside the window, and Prince Yimu shouted, "It's windy outside, close the window quickly."
The attendant carried the basin of water out, closed the doors and windows quickly, and left the room.
"Ding-ling, ding-ling."
The camel staggered forward. Gu Yinwei felt that the camel was moving too slowly, so she pasted a speeding talisman on the camel. The camel immediately started running, as fast as a gust of wind.
The distance that would have taken three days was now covered in just half a day.
When Gu Yinwei arrived at the bandits' lair, he used up three speed talismans.
The sand bandits gathered in a deserted city. Gu Yinwei led a camel and knocked on the door.
The bandits refused to open the door and shouted, "We don't sell water here, get out now."
