Qi Moli opened the secret letter and quickly glanced at its contents.
His sword-like eyebrows gradually tightened, and his eyes gradually became cold.
Si Jinxing couldn't help but ask, "But what happened?"
Qi Moli nodded, put the letter away, raised his hand and stroked the hair of the young woman in front of him, saying:
"It's almost dark. I'll take you back to the General's Mansion and leave this place to the imperial doctors."
Seeing his face darken, Si Jinxing knew something must have happened, so she pulled his big hand down, held his hands, and said:
"I can't leave here yet. Those imperial doctors won't use my medicine and tools.
I'll be fine with Qingchan and the others taking care of me! Just go and do your own thing."
The girl's voice was soft and gentle, and her bright eyes reflected his own figure. Qi Moli took her soft and boneless hand in his backhand, squeezed it, and said:
"Then I'll go quickly and come back quickly. I'll leave Mo Yun to you."
After being with her, I got used to calling her "you" and "me" and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
However, the imperial doctors who had just walked out of the tent were stunned for a moment.
Such... approachable, gentle-looking man, is this... is this also the decisive battlefield killer of the Longyin Dynasty, the capricious and violent Jiu Yama Luo?
Fang Yongzhi looked up at the young woman in front of Qi Moli, then quickly lowered his head.
When Si Qi and the other two saw everyone coming, they stopped talking. Qi Moli rubbed the delicate palm of his little girl with his thumb and turned around and said loudly:
"Military affairs are busy, so I will go ahead. Now that you have received the emperor's order, please wait here for the county lady's instructions."
Of course, the imperial doctors all nodded in agreement.
Qi Moli took another look at his little girl, then mounted the green-maned horse that Wu Zhong had brought over and headed straight for the capital!
Si Jinxing assigned tasks to several imperial physicians, telling them which accounts each was responsible for and explaining some precautions.
Fang Yongzhi, the Imperial Medical Bureau Director, and Doctor Du both nodded in agreement.
The other four imperial physicians, including the reckless Chen Guduan, showed a hint of disdain on their faces.
Although they were somewhat curious about the medical skills of the girl from the Si family, who were they?
They are high and mighty, and are used to being flattered by those second-rate doctors outside!
How could they stand this young girl's meddling?
For example, when Si Jinxing asked them to put on protective clothing, they all refused sternly.
Chen Guduan was even more blunt: "Why should we wear mourning clothes and white clothes when our elderly family members are still alive?"
Si Jinxing put away the protective suit and said:
"Master Chen truly lives up to his name—stubborn and extreme! Well, then I'll do as you wish!"
She finally realized that Chen Guduan was a man who would not give up until he reached the Yellow River, and who only cared about food and not about beatings!
After she finished speaking, regardless of Chen Guduan's gloomy expression, she glanced at Mo Yun.
Mo Yun understood what he meant, picked up Chen Guduan, and threw him into a tent full of rough men!
With a "clang", Chen Guduan was thrown to the ground in the tent. He climbed up with a grimace.
He had already recognized this man as Jiu Yanluo's subordinate, so how could he dare to cause trouble again? He could only curse him secretly in his heart!
Everyone dispersed and went about their own business.
The sky was dark and the autumn wind blew, making rustling sounds on the treetops.
A sharp wailing for mercy suddenly came from a tent on the left side of the official road, startling the crows in the surrounding treetops!
A doctor approached with a lantern, but was rejected by Wu Zhong, who was guarding the door. He said:
"It's military rule. My Lord, you only need to take care of your own duties."
In late autumn, the cold wind blows.
At this time, He Wenqin, the Left Censor-in-Chief, finished reading the case file in his hand, wrote a few words, and was about to go to rest, but suddenly he received a verbal order from the emperor, asking him to discuss something.
He quickly dressed and entered the palace at night.
When he arrived at Emperor Chongde's southern study, he saw Emperor Chongde and King Mo Ying Qi Moli whispering something while looking at a topographic map.
Seeing him arrive, Emperor Chongde sat down behind the dragon desk and gave seats to the two of them.
Qi Moli then spoke:
"The epidemic among the Huaibei disaster victims outside the city has been temporarily controlled.
However, today I suddenly received a tip-off from my secret guards that the disaster in Huaibei is very serious.
In many counties and cities, homes were destroyed and bodies of starving people were scattered across the ground!"
He Wenqin, who was sitting upright, frowned and said,
"May I ask Your Majesty, is this news reliable?
Why didn't we receive any news about such a serious disaster before?
At the morning court today, the two ministers of the Ministry of Revenue and the left and right ministers had different opinions. I think there must be something fishy going on!"
Qi Moli nodded and said:
“This information was sent back by the spy I sent to Hanlan, and it is very reliable.
Even if Han Lan rode a Ferghana horse, it would take him half a month to reach Jianzhou, traveling day and night, which corresponded to the time mentioned by the victims outside the city gate.
However, the intelligence report not only mentioned the disaster in Jianghuai!"
He glanced at Emperor Chongde behind the Dragon Bookcase and continued:
"It is reported that Yuan Shuhuai, the commander-in-chief of the Feiyu Army, who was repelled by General Si Junshan, actually wants to take this opportunity to launch a surprise attack on our Longyin!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongde's face turned ashen, and he threw the white jade wolf-hair brush in his hand and shouted angrily:
"What a shame! This is such a shame!
Even Han Lan, thousands of miles away, has learned of the disaster in Longyin Huaibei, yet I, the Longyin Emperor, have been kept in the dark!
As a censor, He Wenqin was very strict in everything he did. He thought for a moment and said:
"Your Majesty, Prince, Yuan Shuhuai has always been cunning. Could it be that he deliberately spread false information to disrupt the morale of our Longyin army?"
Qi Moli lazily approached the big chair and nodded:
“Master He’s concerns are not without reason.
My secret guards learned of this news and made a detour to Xuzhou. They found the situation there extremely serious, so they rushed the message back to Jianzhou over a distance of 800 miles."
Emperor Chongde sighed repeatedly and said:
“There’s no need for him to be cunning. Thousands of disaster victims have already gathered outside the city gates, proving the disaster is real!
I am only worried about those people who have not had the chance to escape from Huaibei and are probably living in dire straits!
I remember that Jia Wensheng from Xuzhou Prefecture in Huaibei was also born in a poor family!
I thought he would be a good official who loved his people like his own children, but I didn't expect him to be so bold!
In the end, I was wrong!"
Qi Moli glanced at him and said:
"If it weren't for my Xingxing, you would have been busy enough with those disaster victims outside your city gate!
I tell you, it's an epidemic. If we're not careful, it will spread to the capital!
Remember, give my star some more gold, silver and treasures later, she likes them."
