"No, Sister Yunying said that we don't need to pay, they will give us food anyway, it seems like a kind gesture," Yin Qinghuan said thoughtfully.
“Sometimes, valuing integrity too much can hurt both yourself and others,” Yin Yi said, turning to look out the window, his voice distant.
Yun Qingluo and the others waited patiently until the porridge distribution was finished, and only went up to the city gate when it was about to close.
"Halt! Who goes there?" The carriage was stopped before it even reached the city gate.
“We are here to donate medicine. The carriages behind are full of medicine. You can check them, sir. This carriage is carrying our master. She is a doctor, and our master’s teacher has also come with us.”
"Donate medicine?" The guard who had stopped him earlier scratched the back of his head, unsure of what to do, and turned to look at their leader.
Today happens to be the day Commander Wang comes to inspect, so these guys better not cause any trouble, or they'll be in deep trouble.
The team leader didn't dare to speak for a moment and could only look at the person standing in the middle.
The man, dressed in a bamboo-green robe, strode over after hearing his subordinate's reply and sent two men to check the carriage at the back.
"May I ask what brings you here?" Commander Wang asked in a cold voice.
The adults are at their wits' end regarding the medicine and the epidemic. The medicine will be used up today and then it will be gone. But these people just happen to have brought medicine with them, which makes people wonder.
Yun Qingluo and her group naturally had no idea what the other person was thinking. If they did, they could only say it was a coincidence.
"Sir, the dozen or so carriages behind are full of medicine and some supplies. There are also several carriages full of grain and rice," the guard whispered to Commander Wang, his tone somewhat pleased.
They have enough food, but if they had a little more, they could eat their fill.
Yun Qingluo and her group had brought medicine with them when they set off, but the more they traveled, the more desolate the area became, so they planned to gather some supplies to take with them, since they didn't care about the money.
She's a woman who owns a golden house!
It's fortunate that gold is a circulating commodity, and it can be circulated throughout this continent.
They would also buy some medicinal herbs along the way, so when they arrived in Minxia Town, they had bought a lot of supplies.
Mo Beichen had been observing the expressions of the guards at the city gate. Seeing them circling around the person who had just asked the question, he knew that a high-ranking official must be patrolling the area today. It seemed that getting into the city wouldn't be as easy as they had imagined.
"Please forgive us, everyone, but we hope that the doctors in the city can check all the medicines and supplies on the carriage. Our purpose in coming here is simply to donate money, supplies, and medicine, and also to provide medical care and save lives," Mo Beichen said as he got off the carriage.
"Oh? You're a doctor?" Commander Wang asked skeptically.
This man was dressed plainly, but he exuded an extraordinary aura, the aura of a superior. Even though he tried to hide it, one could still feel a sense of oppression. This was no ordinary doctor.
"I'm not, but my wife is a doctor, and a renowned physician at that," Mo Beichen said with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of pride.
Yun Qingluo chuckled softly, rubbing her forehead. Is this something to be proud of?
Do you have any official documents?
"some."
Mo Beichen turned back to the carriage, took out a document from a package, and handed it to Commander Wang.
When Commander Wang saw the contents, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"This, this handwriting, is it His Highness's? Who exactly are you?" Commander Wang was deeply shocked and looked at Mo Beichen with a wary expression.
Yun Qingluo was taken aback.
He thought Mo Beichen had spent money to bribe his way in, but he didn't expect him to go directly to Xuan Ming to get his identity.
That's making a mountain out of a molehill; I don't know why Xuanming agreed to it.
"Your Highness, well... let's just say we're acquaintances. To be honest, he asked me to make a trip for him, so I'd appreciate it if you could do me a favor." A hint of surprise flashed in Mo Beichen's eyes.
He had only asked Xuanming to find someone to help him get a document for convenience. After getting the document, he never used it and never took it out to look at it. Unexpectedly, this person picked up the pen himself.
“Oh, right, your prince said that you will understand once you see this.” Mo Beichen said, taking out a jade pendant.
Yun Qinglu tilted her head and glanced at it. The jade pendant was engraved with the character "冥" (Ming), and it was quite large and of excellent quality.
In an instant, all the guards knelt on the ground and saluted.
"Long live Your Highness!" Commander Wang led the way in bowing, then rose to explain.
"I apologize for my earlier offense. May I ask how I should address you?" Commander Wang explained cautiously.
"Mo, that's my wife, just call her Madam Mo." Mo Beichen introduced, and then introduced Yun Qingluo's master, the Ghost Doctor, the grandfather and grandson, and the guards to Commander Wang.
"This jade pendant? Seeing the jade pendant is like seeing the person himself?" Mo Beichen asked about the jade pendant.
After their last meeting, Xuanming sent someone with a jade pendant, saying that if anything he did was thwarted, the pendant could resolve the problem. Mo Beichen didn't pay much attention to it at the time, since his biggest obstacle was Xuanming.
I never imagined that the jade pendant he gave me would have such great power. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have gone to so much trouble.
But the thought vanished in an instant when he recalled Xuanming's smiling, foxy face.
"Yes, Lord Mo, Madam Mo, please forgive me for my rudeness earlier. I really didn't know you two were His Highness's distinguished guests. Please come into the city." Commander Wang apologized with a smile and introduced himself.
Mo Beichen understood; so they were sent from the capital. No wonder they were so familiar with Xuan Ming's affairs.
"Wait a minute, I want to check on the condition of these patients first before we go into the city to settle them down," Yun Qingluo interrupted after hearing Commander Wang's words.
