Chapter 2066: Go First (Wishing Our Motherland Health and Peace)
Manbao said, "You can go to the Imperial Hospital to find Zheng Gu, he can give you the injection."
Yin Huo shook his head and said, "Forget it. I'll wait for you to come back. I'm not used to using other people."
Bai Shan raised his head from his teacup and looked at Man Bao, saying, "It's all because of you."
Yin Huo smiled slightly and asked, "When will you leave tomorrow? I'll see you off."
Manbao said, "We'll leave before dawn. That's when the Yin energy is at its peak, and it's cold now. Don't come."
Bai Shan also said: "If he gets sick by then, we may not be able to leave with peace of mind."
Yin Huo was silent for a moment, then sighed and agreed.
Manbao and Baishan both breathed a sigh of relief.
Yin Huo looked around and asked, "Where's Bai Er?"
Manbao also looked at Baishan.
Bai Shan said, "He said he wasn't sure if he'd be back for the New Year, so he went to find Zhao Liulang. Last time, Zhao Liulang lost a bet with him and promised to treat him to a meal at Zhuangyuanlou. This time, he wanted to remind Zhao Liulang to forget the debt between them."
Well, the two of them were speechless.
Bai Erlang came back in the evening with a full stomach and couldn't even eat his dinner. He asked Manbao for two digestion pills so that he could have a good sleep.
But he got up in the cold before dawn.
He sat on the bed wrapped in the quilt. His servant put out the clothes he wanted to wear and said anxiously, "Second Young Master, the young master is getting dressed..."
After a while, he said again: "Second Young Master, Young Master Tang has got some hot water and is already washing up..."
"Second Young Master, Young Master Tang came out to pour water and seems to be putting on his shoes and socks..."
Bai Erlang then stupidly let go of the quilt on his shoulders and reached out to get his clothes. He didn't understand why he insisted on following them to Xiazhou two days ago?
In fact, it is reasonable for him to worry in the capital.
After Bai Erlang put on his clothes, he wiped his face with a towel and sat on a stool to let the servant comb his hair. Then he hunched his neck and went to the front to have breakfast.
Most of the people from the Zhou and Bai families got up as well. When he got to the front, Bai Shan and Manbao were already sitting there having breakfast.
Seeing him appear, the two of them waved together, while Bai Dalang sat aside and muttered to him, telling him to obey Lord Yang's orders when he arrived in Xiazhou, and not to run around or get into trouble...
Bai Erlang was still a little dazed, so none of the words entered his ears. At most, they went around his ears and were blocked by his head. He could only hear mumbling sounds and didn't hear anything clearly.
It was not until he went out and mounted his horse and felt the cold wind blowing in his face that he woke up. When he looked down, he saw his great-grandmother, Aunt Zheng and eldest brother looking up at them worriedly.
Bai Shan and Man Bao waved goodbye to their family and were about to leave. Bai Dalang also looked at Bai Erlang and sighed, "Erlang, take care of yourself."
Bai Erlang nodded somewhat touchedly, whipped his horse and followed Bai Shan and Man Bao.
Daji and other guards rode their horses and drove carriages to catch up.
When they arrived at the city gate, Doctor Lu and others who had just arrived heard the sound of horse hooves, lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw Zhou Man coming with a large group of people.
Imperial Physicians Lu and Zheng, who only brought one attendant with them, said: …
Even the adjutant of the Imperial Guard who was ordered to escort them looked at them in surprise.
As the person in charge of this trip, Doctor Lu couldn't help but get out of the carriage and looked at Zhou Man with dissatisfaction, "Doctor Zhou, why did you bring so many people?"
Manbao said: "They all went to help."
Doctor Lu frowned, "How can they help..."
Manbao said, "I'll take care of them. Doctor Lu, don't worry, they won't cause us any trouble."
Doctor Lu turned his gaze from Bai Shan and Bai Erlang to the guards and carriage behind them. He found that they had filled an entire carriage with their belongings, and there was also a blue cloth carriage, which was obviously for them to ride in.
In addition to the two coachmen, there were three guards, which means that Zhou Man brought seven people with him.
Doctor Lu twitched his face, dropped the curtain, and returned to the carriage. He said, "Doctor Zhou, take them if you want, but don't blame me for not warning you. Smallpox doesn't have eyes. If these people haven't had pox, going there is tantamount to committing suicide. Also, we are on a forced march, so don't delay the journey."
Manbao quickly said, "It won't delay the trip."
Not to mention that these five people are guards, even Manbao and the others would not slow down the journey.
It was indeed a forced march. As soon as they met up, everyone started to leave the city, and then the carriages and horses started to run. The mules used to pull the medicinal materials were all high-quality mules, which had sufficient speed and endurance.
The group only stopped at noon to have a simple meal of dry food, and did not even boil water. It took no more than two quarters of an hour from the time they stopped to the time they set off. This was the most urgent journey that Manbao and his two companions had ever had to endure.
But after running for a long time, Manbao still felt it was slow, mainly because the car was still slower than the horse.
She simply stopped the carriage, changed horses, ran to Doctor Lu's window, knocked, and said to him in the cold wind, "Doctor Lu, shall we ride away first? Let's leave the herbs behind."
Doctor Lu looked at her, then at his own old arms and legs, and waved his hand, saying, "If you want to leave, go ahead."
It was impossible for him to ride a horse. If he did, he would probably fall ill before reaching Xiazhou.
Manbao felt sorry and went to see Doctor Zheng. Doctor Zheng hesitated for a moment and refused. He didn't want to ride a horse in such a cold day.
So Manbao turned around and pulled her people and carriages to the side and stopped. She directly let two carriages follow the convoy, and they took Daji and three guards to go ahead.
The group opened their suitcases and took out the simple packages they had packed earlier. They also took some dry food, put on cloaks, and wrapped their necks with scarves. Manbao even took out masks and handed one to each of them, then said, "Let's go. We'll ride quickly to Xiazhou and try to arrive within five days."
It’s not easy to run for five days on an eight-day trip.
Daji frowned, but Manbao said, "I have a warrant from the Imperial Hospital. I can change horses when we get to the post station."
She stroked her beloved Chiji and said, "Wait until they arrive at the post station and then take the three Chijis to Xiazhou."
Bai Shan subconsciously touched his purse. "Do we have enough money? If we let them take the horse we replaced, they'll need a deposit, right?"
Manbao waved his hand with a chutzpah and said, "I brought it."
Bai Shan looked at Manbao's purse. Does she have so much money on her?
Manbao didn't explain much. He left a souvenir for the two drivers, made an appointment with them to change horses at the post station, and then he mounted his horse with his luggage. The three of them, along with three guards, quickly arrived at the convoy in front. Manbao knocked on the window of Doctor Lu's carriage and shouted, "Doctor Lu, I'm leaving my two drivers and two carriages to you. Please help me take care of them. We'll wait for you in Xiazhou."
Doctor Lu was furious when he saw that she had indeed escaped, but he still had to lift the curtain and call over an accompanying medical assistant, "Horse quickly to catch up with her. Meet us in Xiazhou. Keep a close eye on her and don't let her cause trouble for our Imperial Hospital."
The medical assistant agreed and quickly rode his horse to catch up...
This year is a special year, but the motherland’s birthday must still be celebrated. I wish our mother health, prosperity and prosperity. Let us overcome the difficulties of this year together!
come on!
