"Once things are settled, I will send someone to take you there."
The woman pursed her lips, opened her mouth as if to say something, but then stopped herself: "Yes."
As soon as the woman went downstairs, Su Chi'en appeared outside the window: "Your Highness!"
He handed a message to Yu Nanqing, looking slightly flustered, clearly indicating that this message was unusual.
Yu Nanqing took the note, glanced at it, and her pupils suddenly contracted. Her heart felt as if it had been gripped by something, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
The note contained only one simple line of text: Su Wanyan is on Donghai City Island.
How could Su Wanyan be on Chengdao Island?
How did she end up in the East China Sea?
At this moment, even Yu Nanqing's fingertips felt slightly cool, and her eyes were filled with panic.
"Your Highness! Although Cheng Island has been occupied by General Lü, many remnants of the Eastern Navy still remain on the island. They are definitely hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike. If anything happens to my sister..."
The worry in Su Chien's eyes was no less than that in Yu Nanqing's.
Yu Nanqing raised her hand, stopping Su Chien from speaking.
He didn't dare to think about these things at all.
Yu Nanqing forced himself to calm down, his breath trembling: "How many of our people are still outside the city?"
"Your Highness, there are 15,000 left!"
They mustered three troops from the Great Jin Dynasty and entered Xiaoshui. During this time, they were intercepted and killed by Feng Lingxu. When they came out of Xiaoshui, they had less than 20,000 troops left. More than a thousand of them died from injuries and poisoning along the way.
There are currently about 3,000 people who have infiltrated Qingxuan City, and about 15,000 troops are lying in ambush outside Qingxuan City to provide support.
"Su Chien, listen to my command."
Su Chien immediately knelt down: "This humble servant obeys your command."
"Immediately lead troops to Chengdao Island to reinforce Lü Cezhong, with the safety of the Princess Consort as the top priority."
"Yes!" Su Chien dared not delay and turned around to jump down from the windowsill.
Yu Nanqing stared at the news in his hand, unable to process what was happening. He couldn't understand why Su Wanyan had come to Chengdao.
He had considered that Su Wanyan would know about his entry into the nitrous oxide field, and he also knew that once he disappeared, rumors detrimental to him would definitely circulate outside.
He had considered a thousand different scenarios, but he never imagined that Su Wanyan would come to the East China Sea.
Yu Nanqing felt a sudden surge of irritation. It was because his plan was not perfect or efficient enough; otherwise, how could he have gotten Su Wanyan to chase him to the East China Sea?
Qin Yandong, who was in the room, overheard the entire conversation between Yu Nanqing and Su Wanyan.
He sat on the bench with his back to Yu Nanqing, a hint of conspiracy flashing in his eyes.
Princess Gong's wife has also arrived in the East China Sea? Is she currently on Cheng Island?
From Yu Nanqing's tone, one could tell that he deeply admired this princess. If this news could be spread and the princess taken hostage, perhaps...
However, the thought had barely left his mind when suddenly there was a "sizzle" sound, the sound of flesh being pierced.
Yu Nanqing grabbed a jade ornament from the table at some point and stabbed it through his neck from behind!
The blood didn't gush out; instead, it slowly seeped down the tightly sealed wound. Qin Yandong opened his eyes wide, wanting to turn around in disbelief, but he couldn't even see what Yu Nanqing looked like. Without even a muffled groan, he collapsed straight onto the bench.
Yu Nanqing looked down at his corpse with cold eyes, as if he were looking at a weed that had been pulled out.
He was willing to gamble on everything, but he couldn't afford to make any mistakes when it came to Su Wanyan's safety!
Yu Nanqing took a deep breath, walked around the bench and slowly sat down, a trace of Qin Yandong's blood still remaining on his hand, pondering what to do next.
He has achieved his goal in Qingxuan City, and the army in Qingxuan City has been delayed for quite some time. If he leaves now, nothing major will likely happen.
However, Qingxuan City is a military fortress, and its army can be assembled very quickly. Judging from the timing of the Jin Dynasty's troop deployment, the East China Sea Navy still has a chance to fight back.
Once Qingxuan City sends troops to provide support, the favorable battle situation for the Great Jin Dynasty could very well be reversed.
Therefore, he cannot leave immediately. To ensure the smooth progress of the battle at the front, he needs to endure for a few more days until Feng Lingxu is completely cornered and can then capture him in one fell swoop.
Yu Nanqing felt frustrated and could only keep suppressing the restlessness in her heart.
Perhaps due to the unfavorable situation in the battle, Feng Lingxu had no intention of launching another attack after learning that the army had been drugged.
The East Sea Navy camp was 15 miles away from the island and about 30 miles away from the Great Jin army. It could be said that the two sides were very close, and Feng Lingxu was caught in the middle and could not advance or retreat.
That day, he ordered the military doctors to develop an antidote, but the soldiers' symptoms were not much different from those of a common cold. The military doctors were also at a loss and could only try different drugs step by step. After several days, there was not much effect.
Feng Lingxu was anxious, worried that the Great Jin army might launch a surprise attack at this time, while also sending people to inquire about the situation of the Qingxuan City reinforcements. However, the situation was not optimistic on either side.
Meanwhile, Su Wanyan had already prepared the antidote.
She was the one who made the medicine, and she knew exactly what its ingredients were, so she was very good at making the antidote.
At first, she only made a small amount and had Lü Cezhong and a few capable leaders take it first. As for the antidote for the soldiers, Su Wanyan was also simple and straightforward. She set up a large pot in the governor's mansion, prepared the necessary medicinal materials, and boiled them all at once. In this way, she did not have to bother to prepare each dose individually or make it into pills.
Once the medicine was ready, the soldiers lined up to receive it.
Another advantage of doing this is that you don't have to watch over it yourself; you just need to have someone keep an eye on the fire and cook it to a certain point.
The rest of the time, Su Wanyan was busy running between the inner and outer halls.
The inner sanctum was for operating on seriously wounded soldiers, while the outer sanctum was for those with minor injuries who could be treated with medicine or bandages.
Although Su Wanyan had prepared herself mentally, she was still somewhat shocked.
Some soldiers were already in critical condition when they arrived, and even with her extraordinary abilities, she couldn't save them. Just like the soldier who was shot in the neck with an arrow that day, Su Wanyan felt that she had the support of the system and always felt that God would be especially kind to her.
But reality slapped her hard in the face. Despite being fully prepared, she was still gone the moment the arrow was pulled out.
Su Wanyan tried her best, but she still couldn't save the person.
However, the situation did not allow her much time for emotion. A second critically injured patient arrived immediately. Su Wanyan did not even have time to grieve and could only suppress her emotions and devote herself to the next rescue operation.
Lu Cezhong came to check. Although the number of people who sneaked in was not large, if it were a military medical battalion, it would be more than enough to treat these wounded. The problem now is that only Su Wanyan is busy here.
So even until midnight, Su Wanyan could still be seen feeding them medicine.
