As the carriage drove further and further away, Xie Zhun felt a void in his heart.
"Your Highness, you must pull yourself together and not let the Princess's efforts go to waste!"
Eunuch Xu wiped his eyes and offered some advice.
Xie Zhun nodded slightly. Instead of worrying pointlessly, it was better to cheer up and make plans.
This time, he couldn't go along...
But if danger arises again, he will definitely stand in front of her.
In the distance, the smoke from the gates of Xiude City gradually dissipated. Xie Zhun looked up and glanced at it, his eyes growing increasingly resolute.
For the sake of the people's well-being, he hesitated to fight...
Even if they retreat, their opponents will not let them off easily...
Landslides, poisoning of water sources, destruction of crops, and displacement of people...
Now, they're even using methods to spread plagues...
If he doesn't fight back now, how many more people will they drag down with them next time?!
Dozens of horse-drawn carriages sped along the official road.
Before setting off, Ning Xi'er distributed water bags filled with spiritual spring liquid to everyone, and repackaged them with multivitamins in porcelain bottles, instructing them to take them regularly.
In addition, Ning Xi'er also informed them that they had been given medicine to prevent the plague on their way to Xiude, and they now have a certain level of resistance.
The group relaxed slightly, but even if it weren't for Ning Xi'er, they would still accompany her to the death.
Zheng Ye and his guards drove the carriages, with one person driving two carriages at a time. Four maids accompanied Ning Xi'er in the carriage where the injections were placed.
Crabapple and licorice were curious about the packaging and lettering of the transparent liquid in the car...
With Ning Xi'er's nod of agreement, Ao Xue briefly explained to Haitang and Gancao that their young lady possessed an unseen "baggage" that allowed her to store and access supplies...
Haitang and Gancao stared in disbelief, recalling the various medicine bottles their young lady had transformed into along the way since her exile...
The young lady's bundle clearly couldn't hold much, yet she took out a lot of food, medicine, and pills from it...
The crabapple and licorice suddenly realized what was going on.
Ao Xue solemnly instructed that this matter should only be known to the four of them and should not be revealed to anyone else.
Haitang was a little confused, so Baizhi repeated the pros and cons to the two of them...
The crabapple immediately changed color, and the licorice nodded immediately, promising not to reveal a single word to anyone.
These maids have been through thick and thin with us now, and they will inevitably need to obtain supplies during the fight against the epidemic. It would be really unnecessary to hide the fact that they have crabapple and licorice.
Ning Xi'er instructed Gan Cao to guard the supplies on the carriage the entire time and not to let anyone get close...
Especially the vehicle they were in, the one filled with medicine and syringes.
If it weren't for the drug's airtightness and safety, Ning Xi'er would have wanted to change all the outer packaging.
Unfortunately, it's not possible.
The ability to access resources at any time is bound to arouse suspicion from nearby patients and officials...
In this way, although it is a bit more troublesome to protect, it is the safest option.
As they approached Yongning County, the atmosphere around them suddenly changed.
Scattered, intermittent groans could be heard, like those of animals, coming and going.
Ning Xier, Haitang, and the others lifted the curtain and were immediately shocked by the scene before them!
In the darkness, many slowly moving bodies could be seen on both sides of the pipe.
It looked like some kind of large animal, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a person who had fainted and was struggling to get up!
Haitang couldn't help but scream in surprise, but Aoxue immediately covered her mouth.
As they approached the city gate, they saw more and more people lying down or climbing along the roadside. Fearing that the people might be injured, the carriage gradually slowed down.
As if seeing a savior, these plague-stricken people, looking utterly lost, moved from both sides of the road toward the center, trying to grab the carriage...
But they were too weak, and after a few steps they fell to the ground.
I got up again, then fell down again...
"princess!"
Zheng Ye, driving the carriage in front, turned around and asked Ning Xi'er.
Ning Xi'er looked around and said loudly to Zheng Ye in front, "Find an open space, stop the carriage first, and go into the city to find the commander and see what's going on!"
He immediately agreed, handed the carriage to the guards, jumped off the carriage, and went to survey the surrounding area.
A short while later, Zheng Ye rushed back and directed the carriage procession to stop a few hundred meters outside the city gate on a gentle slope.
Because of the high altitude, even the infected people were unable to climb up.
Zheng Ye was about to go alone when Ning Xi'er stopped him and asked him to take two guards with him, saying that she had brought some medicine powder.
Zheng Ye didn't say much and followed Ning Xi'er's arrangements.
Clearly, he now has a very good understanding of Ning Xier's strength.
Instead of arguing, given the overwhelming strength, the best course of action is...
It means obedience.
Ning Xi'er took out a sleeping potion from her spatial storage and had Bai Zhi and licorice sprinkle it around the carriage. She then divided the antidote into small porcelain bottles and had Bai Zhi give them to the remaining three guards.
Seeing the scene on the street just now, Ning Xi'er guessed that the situation in the city was probably even more bleak.
There were no guards at the city gates; the city was completely sealed off, presumably to prevent infected people from leaving and spreading the disease to others...
There weren't even any guards, and they didn't care about the people on the roadside outside...
It seems the officials in the government office and the city gate guards have all fallen...
