Chapter 443 Mutual Exploitation
"Yes, I will do it right away."
"Since this route is the route used by the Mongolian spies to transport people back home, then the Mongolian country must have deployed personnel along the route. You should deal with or control them together. Before the battle begins, you must not let the other side know that we have discovered this route."
"Yes, I understand!"
Then the leader of Group C selected some people from Group B and left the imperial city overnight.
The pressure on the tasker's shoulders was relieved a little. By mastering this route, he could not only guard against sneak attacks from Mongolia, but also sneak into the rear of Mongolia and create chaos in the rear when their people gathered at the front line. Perhaps he could shorten the duration of the war and prepare before the snowstorm comes.
"It seems that I will definitely pass this intermediate mission assessment smoothly."
The tasker thought with some pride.
"Don't be complacent too soon. After a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic. You still have a lot to consider. Winning the battle is a necessary condition."
Qin Xin immediately tightened the screws for the tasker.
"I know, I'm just taking a breath."
"Your Majesty, Princess Xiangyi is making trouble again and has injured Imperial Physician Zhang."
Eunuch Yu hurried in to report.
The emperor frowned unhappily, his eyes full of disgust. Xiangyi was able to make a fuss before because she had someone in her hands. Now everyone around her is his, and he will not indulge her.
"Pass on my oral order. Imperial Physician Zhang has been rewarded 500 taels of silver for his service in treating the princess. He will be allowed to rest for ten days and promoted to the position of deputy director of the Imperial Hospital."
"Yes, I will do it right away! To the princess."
"Since the person who treated her face was injured, her face should not be treated for the time being. I will send it to her after I find a famous doctor."
The emperor said coldly.
"Yes, I know what to do."
Eunuch Yu's eyes flashed and he understood what the emperor meant.
At this time, Xiangyi was smashing things in her own palace. The maids around her knelt on the ground with their heads buried deeply in the ground, fearing that they would be used as punching bags by the princess.
"This bunch of useless old bastards! How dare they say they tried their best? They are just trying to fool me!"
Xiangyi's face looked a little hideous, no longer the good color it had eighteen years ago. It was mainly because of the injury six years ago, which made her face in a state of not healing. Every once in a while, it would jump out to torture her, making her very irritable and easily angered.
If anyone around her did something that displeased her, she would drag him down and kill him. There was no one around her who satisfied her, which made her even more irritable and she fell into a vicious cycle.
"Princess, Eunuch Yu is here!"
A little maid came in trembling with fear and reported.
"What is he doing here?"
A hint of displeasure flashed across Xiangyi's face through the veil, but she immediately suppressed it. After all, the other party was someone close to the emperor, and she had to give him some face.
"Hello, Princess Xiangyi! I am here to deliver a message on the orders of the Emperor. I will leave after I have finished speaking and will not stay to bother the Princess."
Eunuch Yu led his men into the palace, stood still, and saluted respectfully. Then he announced the emperor's order and asked the people behind him to carry down the imperial physician Zhang, who was lying on the ground with a bloody head.
"Princess, please be patient. The emperor has already posted a notice inviting famous doctors from all over the world. He will definitely find someone who can cure you."
After hearing what Eunuch Yu said, Xiangyi's expression eased a little, and she just nodded coldly.
"Princess, I have served the Emperor for more than thirty years and I know him a little bit. I don't know if I should say something to you."
"Just say it!"
Princess Xiangyi looked at the old man coldly, feeling extremely contemptuous.
"In order to give the Han Kingdom time to recuperate, the late emperor had no choice but to let you, the princess, go to marry. In order to ensure the princess's safety, you have been given enough manpower in the hope that one day the princess can return to the Han Kingdom smoothly.
The princess was intelligent and capable. Three years after marrying into the Mongolian Kingdom, she had already provoked Tuoba Han's ambition, causing him to kill his brother and usurp the throne, causing the Mongolian Kingdom to fall into civil war. The princess was able to escape and return to the Han Kingdom.
The princess was able to escape successfully because of the emperor's order. In order to help the princess escape successfully, many spies of the Han Dynasty ambushed in the Mongolian Kingdom were exposed, and many people were killed and injured. But for the princess, the emperor didn't even blink an eye.
Now that the Mongolian Empire has recovered, it wants to stir up trouble again. However, because too many spies died earlier, the Mongolian Empire is very vigilant, and it is difficult to deploy new personnel. In order to prepare for war, the emperor has been staying in the imperial study all night recently. I hope the princess can understand.
His Majesty respected the princess and allowed her to live in the palace. He did not say anything if she did not want to marry a prince consort. He also agreed to her request to keep a concubine. His Majesty also suppressed all the memorials from officials impeaching the princess for her wanton behavior and killing innocent people.
"What do you want to say?"
Xiangyi directly interrupted the other party's chattering.
"Please forgive me for being so talkative, but no matter how much kindness we have, it will not last forever!"
Eunuch Yu said meaningfully.
As soon as these words fell, Xiang Yi's expression became visibly bad, and then he snorted coldly:
"This princess knows. Tell His Majesty that although I can't help him, I won't hold him back."
"Yes, I will definitely pass on the message."
Then Eunuch Yu took his men and left.
But Xiangyi calmed down this time, sitting on the couch and lost in thought.
After Eunuch Yu returned, he relayed Xiangyi's words and stood aside as a background board.
The emperor, who was the mission leader, snorted coldly and then said to Eunuch Yu:
"Let the 'poison doctor' enter the palace and tell him to cure Xiangyi's face without considering the consequences or letting her know the side effects. Since she wants face, beauty, and youth, I will naturally fulfill her wish."
"Yes, I will summon him to the palace right away."
"No rush, let's talk about it in a month. Just say that this man is a famous doctor found among the people, so as not to arouse her suspicion."
The emperor looked at the memorial in his hand and spoke casually.
"I understand."
Qi Qi from Huairou County waited for his master to arrive seven days later. After handing over everything, he immediately set out on a journey to catch up with Lianyi and his group.
Hai Zanghong stayed in Huairou County and did not leave. Three days after Wang Yaozu and his companions left, his attendant came hurriedly to report and whispered a few words in his ear, which made Hai Zanghong's face change immediately.
"He is so lucky! He must have met a noble person! Go find out the details of the person who is traveling with him."
Hai Zanghong fiddled with his folding fan and said immediately.
"Yes, sir."
Lianyi and his group, who were being missed by both parties, had already arrived at the forest outside Wujiang County with many heroes.
"Everyone, there is a dilapidated temple ahead. We will stay there tonight and set out early tomorrow morning. We will be able to enter Wujiang County before dusk."
Xiao Shu looked at the sky and said to everyone.
"No problem! This forest is dense, I'll go catch some prey to satisfy everyone's cravings."
Someone immediately echoed.
Just like that, a group of people rushed into the dilapidated temple.
