The city of Qingyuan was still hot in July. There were not so many people queuing in front of the government office, and Miss Jun no longer received smallpox vaccinations. She selected five doctors from Qingyuan Prefecture.
The five doctors almost went crazy with joy.
Putting aside the fame and fortune gained from vaccination, does this count as Miss Jun's last disciple?
Miss Jun laughed.
"No." She said softly, "This is really not a secret. I have already told you how it came about and how to do it. It is very simple."
The five doctors had no choice but to give up.
They also inquired about what Miss Jun did in the capital. She did indeed teach medical skills to many doctors, but she did not consider herself a master.
"Miss Jun, it is very simple after you learn it, but you are the only one who can do such a simple thing." They said, and no longer insisted on becoming her disciples. They all bowed to Miss Jun, "A teacher who can teach you just one word is still a teacher."
Seeing that they had almost reached the point of being polite, Magistrate Zhou stepped forward with a smile.
"Where are you going next, Miss Jun?" he asked.
Of course, Miss Jun would not really stay here to vaccinate smallpox, and Governor Zhou did not expect Miss Jun to do it herself. It was enough for Miss Jun to just show up here.
"Zhending Prefecture." Miss Jun said.
It seems that we need to visit several prefectures in western Hebei Province.
Prefect Zhou thought to himself.
"This is truly a blessing for the people." He said excitedly, "I will have the soldiers escort Miss Jun to Zhending Prefecture."
Once the message is passed on, not only will there be soldiers escorting us, but people from Zhending Prefecture will also definitely come to pick us up. This way the journey will be much safer and easier.
Lei Zhonglian relaxed for a moment.
Of course he had discovered the traces of Jin Shiba and others in the past few days. Well, Jin Shiba seemed to want them to find him, acting like a rogue.
These people are really hard to get rid of, Lei Zhonglian sighed in his heart. He is not afraid of a real fight with real guns and knives, but these people just want to hide behind, waiting for an opportunity to pounce on you and bite you.
"Don't worry, they can't get close to me." Miss Jun said.
Lei Zhonglian had known this for a long time. There were only three of them going from Yangcheng to Runan, and the enemy was more terrifying than Jin Shiba and others. At least Jin Shiba made them discover his whereabouts, but at that time, the enemies of the Fang family were hiding very well.
Miss Jun has extensive experience in the wild and is well prepared. The sentence she most often reminds people is, "Don't get close at night."
Lei Zhonglian knew that this was because the hidden weapons arranged by Miss Jun were extremely fierce.
"It's just so annoying to be chased by them all the time," he whispered.
Miss Jun smiled.
"It's not like we're the only ones who have this problem," she said, blinking at the thunder.
After following for so long, people like Jin Shiba have not had an easy time either, Lei Zhonglian smiled.
"Miss Jun!"
Suddenly there was a shout from the roadside.
At this time, they had already left Qingyuan Prefecture. When leaving Qingyuan Prefecture, Governor Zhou wanted the whole city to see them off, but was stopped by Miss Jun.
"It's better not to let anyone know that I'm gone. It will be safer after a while," she said.
Miss Jun is like a stabilizing force. These five doctors can be successfully accepted by the people because Miss Jun is protecting them from behind.
If everyone knew that Miss Jun was gone, they would inevitably feel anxious. It would be better to give everyone some time to adjust to the situation.
Magistrate Zhou acted like a thief and sent Miss Jun and others out of the city, and even the officers and soldiers were waiting at the designated place.
Despite this, Miss Jun and her group were still easily recognized by passers-by, which caused a lot of excitement. Miss Jun explained that she was going to the countryside to check on the children who did not know the news so that they would not miss the vaccination.
"Are you going to Zanhuang?" a passerby asked curiously.
Miss Jun nodded in agreement with what he said.
"Then don't take this road." The passerby said nervously.
Where?
"What's going on over there?" Liu'er asked puzzledly.
"There is a mountain over there, and there are bandits on the mountain." The passerby whispered.
bandit?
Miss Jun and others were stunned.
"Nonsense." Another voice rang out from the crowd.
When people looked over, they saw an old man squatting on the side of the road with a bamboo basket beside him. He seemed to be afraid that the basket would be squeezed by the crowded crowd, so he was protecting it carefully.
"There are no bandits in the mountains over there." He went on to say, "It's safe there, and there are soldiers stationed there."
Miss Jun looked at the old man. His dark face, thick fingers, and the way he squatted on the ground showed that he had been working for many years.
Of course, as a daughter of a rich family, she originally had no idea what a working person was like. It was her master who brought her through mountains and forests to observe people's words and expressions, and trained her to have a pair of sharp eyes, all for the purpose of cheating. Miss Jun looked away and did not ask, because passers-by had already started talking.
"Are there no bandits? I heard there were..."
"You remembered it wrongly. Of course there are bandits, but they are in Zanhuang Mountain," said the old man.
"It seems that there really are bandits in Zanhuang Mountain." Someone recalled.
"But over there..." Someone doubted his memory, "are there any troops stationed there?"
There are several armies in the north. In addition to the famous Yongxing, Guangxin, Yongning and Shun'an armies, there are also some scattered soldiers stationed there, and even many secret sentries.
It is hard to say whether there are troops stationed in a mountainous area.
Passers-by were talking here, and there was the sound of horses' hooves as a group of soldiers appeared.
"Move aside, move aside, don't delay Miss Jun's journey." they shouted.
Passersby made way for him and the old man stepped back with the basket.
Because she was the one who vaccinated the children of officers and soldiers alone, Miss Jun was like a god among the officers and soldiers. When they saw Miss Jun, they all dismounted and smiled.
"Don't worry, Miss Jun, we are here to escort you," they said.
"I feel really relieved to have you escort me." Miss Jun said with a smile.
A group of people walked along the road happily and noisily until they could no longer be seen. Then the passers-by dispersed reluctantly. The old man kicked the bamboo basket up, picked it up, carried it on his back, and walked away slowly.
…
The cool July mountain breeze blew, and the hustle and bustle of the camp died down as the campfire gradually died out. Except for the soldiers patrolling back and forth, everyone fell into a deep sleep.
The two teams of soldiers crossed over each other, and in this gap, several figures seemed to peel out from the night, rolled into the middle of the camp in a few seconds, and quickly passed through several tents and stopped in front of the tent in the middle.
"It's not without its benefits to be escorted by soldiers." Jin Shiba said quietly, "At least we don't have to worry about the hidden weapons set up by this little girl."
After all, there were too many officers and soldiers, and they would patrol at night to avoid accidental injuries.
The men behind him had already surveyed the surroundings of the tent, gathered around Jin Shiba again, and nodded to him.
"No problem," they whispered.
Jin Shiba made another gesture to them, and the four of them instantly scattered. Jin Shiba then slashed across the tent beside him. It was unknown what he was holding in his hand, but a hole was instantly cut in the tent without any sound.
Jin Shiba stretched out his hand and pulled the tent. The light from the torch not far away shone into the tent, illuminating the situation inside. Jin Shiba's hand holding the tent froze suddenly, and he did not jump in as if he was overdue.
Several men standing on the sidelines looked over in confusion.
"Damn it." Jin Shiba murmured, "Miss Jun is missing again."
As the sky gradually brightened, Lei Zhonglian suddenly opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was the escorts and guards walking by, chatting and laughing. He then sat up straight, looked at the quiet tents around him, exhaled, rubbed his face with his hands, and stood up.
"Master Lei, do you think those people from the Royal Guards have caught up?" A guard saw him and asked with a smile.
"We should have caught up with them. The Jinyiwei are so powerful." Lei Zhonglian said.
When I said this before, everyone would nod seriously, but now when I said it, a few people laughed.
"I wonder what their expressions were when they saw the naked soldiers lying in the tent." A bodyguard laughed.
Lei Zhonglian coughed lightly to signal them to stop swearing, because he had already walked to Miss Jun's tent.
The escorts quickly straightened their expressions and walked forward, and heard Lei Zhonglian calling "Miss Jun" from behind.
Miss Jun is very alert and has a very regular schedule. She should be awake by now. According to the previous rules, when she hears Lei Zhonglian's voice, she will respond with "OK, come in", or just say she is ready to eat."
What to eat this morning? I haven’t finished eating the rabbits I caught yesterday. I’ll definitely enjoy them if I add mushrooms to a big pot…
The guards were lost in thought when they suddenly realized something was wrong. They stopped and looked back.
Why didn’t I hear Miss Jun talking?
Are you still asleep?
It's normal for a little girl to be a little sleepy.
As the thought flashed through his mind, he saw Lei Zhonglian rushing towards the tent and grabbing the tent curtain.
This is not good. The escorts were shocked, but Lei Zhonglian had already pulled open the curtain without hesitation, and at the same time he froze.
"Ms. Jun..." His voice changed, breaking the quiet morning, "Gone."
