After Sikong Zhan had been gone for a long time, the three Wu brothers finally wiped the sweat from their foreheads and stood up with difficulty. "Fifty military sticks! They might not be able to get out of bed for ten days or half a month." However, they disobeyed the prince, and the prince did not take their lives directly, so they were grateful.
Lin Jinghan inside didn't know it yet, but because of the straightforward nature of the three Wu brothers, they had invisibly dug a hole for her, a huge hole...
Two full hours passed before Lin Jinghan finally pulled Wu Si back from the brink of death. She breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from her sweat, and did the finishing work. She took out the golden needle and acupunctured the wound on his knee before calling the Wu brothers outside the door in.
She didn't use the medical space to heal her leg, but simply used energy to help her recover a little faster - if she recovered too quickly, it would arouse suspicion.
Looking at Lin Jinghan's pale face, Shiqin pushed her out with heartache and brought the lunch that had been prepared long ago to her.
The food in the army was mediocre to begin with, and it kept getting hot and cold over and over again. As it was getting dark, the lunch looked unappetizing. In order to treat as many wounded soldiers as possible, Lin Jinghan quickly devoured the food in front of her without a frown.
After watching Lin Jinghan finish her meal, Shiqin told her Sikong Zhan's instructions. Lin Jinghan did not delay and immediately went to the mine.
It was already dark at this time, which undoubtedly added a lot of difficulty to the rescue. Several explorers seemed to have a disagreement and were arguing. Sikong Zhan ignored them and directed the rescue, so busy that he almost had no time to rest.
Seeing Lin Jinghan coming, Sikong Zhan pushed her towards the mine entrance without saying a word. "We just started digging and it collapsed again. Come and see how we can rescue them."
"Your Highness!" Lin Jinghan reached out and grabbed the wheel of the wheelchair to stop it from moving forward. If she hadn't been unable to stand up, she would have stood up and looked Sikong Zhan in the eye.
"I understand your desire to save people, and I want to save them too. However, I only have a superficial understanding of mining and have never put it into practice. I can't afford the lives of thousands of Jingnan soldiers..."
Sikong Zhan paused and looked at Lin Jinghan's hand gripping the wheel. At that moment, he clearly realized that the woman in front of him was only 16 years old. No matter how smart and knowledgeable she was, she was still young after all. He shouldn't place such high expectations on her.
It was because he was anxious that he overlooked such an important point and thought that she could save his soldiers.
"Just give it your best shot. No matter what the result is, no one will blame you."
Lin Jinghan's grip on the wheel tightened: She had to bear the pressure of thousands of lives and risk exposing her own secrets, and in the end, all she got was a sentence "I don't blame you"?
They said they didn't blame her, but if she really missed the best opportunity to save people because of her, would these people really not blame her? Even if they were more refined and didn't blame her out loud, would they really not blame her in their hearts?
Wasn't this man a bit too overbearing? Did he forget that, let alone the Jingnan Army, even he, the King of Jingnan, had nothing to do with her. If she was selfish, she could completely ignore the lives of these people!
Sure enough, being too enthusiastic will make others take it for granted.
"But I will blame myself. I will blame myself for not being capable enough and for trying to be stubborn, which delayed the rescue. So, Your Highness, please don't put all your hopes on me. I can't bear it." Lin Jinghan let go of the wheel, folded her hands on her legs, looked into the distance, her eyes were deep, and a hint of mockery appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Right now, she has no one to rely on in this capital city, so she has to be cautious. Even if people think she is selfish, so what?
Once again witnessing Lin Jinghan's stubbornness and her character of not wanting to suffer any loss, Sikong Zhan frowned: In the current situation, he had no choice but to place his last hope on Lin Jinghan. Since she could judge that there would be a second mining disaster, then she must have a way to solve it. If she didn't want to bear the consequences, then he would let her have no worries.
"Just give it a try. I will bear all the consequences. If you succeed, you will be the savior of the Jingnan Army. I promise you one thing. If you fail, no one will know of your involvement."
Neither of them spoke anymore. Sikong Zhan was waiting for Lin Jinghan's reply, while Lin Jinghan, after getting Sikong Zhan's promise, was thinking about how to act.
After a while, Lin Jinghan's eyes showed determination, and she slowly spoke: "Prepare the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and call the person in charge of the exploration and the commander-in-chief of the rescue."
…
Looking at the brush in front of her, Lin Jinghan felt a bit overwhelmed. Although she knew how to use a brush in her previous life, the calligraphy she wrote was really ugly. As for drawing with the brush, it was even more unsightly...
Facing several pairs of expectant eyes, she gritted her teeth and used a brush to roughly draw a new excavation route for rescuing people. Seeing the confused expressions of the people around her staring at the drawing, she even had someone push her to the site and tried hard to imitate it:
"Start digging from here, and then follow the route I've drawn, and you'll reach where the mine collapsed. If you hurry, you can rescue the people trapped inside within a day. Do you understand?"
Mu Wenyao stared at Lin Jinghan with a strange look, and finally shook his head helplessly: He really didn't understand, nor did he understand...
Such exquisite lines, such abstract artistic conception—is this really a painting? What about those few ink dots that popped up from time to time? Everyone came to a unanimous conclusion: The princess can't draw!
Fortunately, there were professionals here. Even though Lin Jinghan's drawing was too abstract, her gestures were still clear enough. Several surveyors suddenly understood, quickly explained it to Sikong Zhan and the others, and then directed the Jingnan Army to start digging and rescuing people.
The excavation route was exactly as Lin Jinghan had imagined, and there was no deviation. Lin Jinghan then went to the wounded camp with peace of mind to continue rescuing people.
Wu Si had already woken up and seemed to be doing well. The Wu brothers had been wanting to thank Lin Jinghan, but they hadn't seen her. When she finally arrived, the three brothers knelt down and kowtowed three times in a row. "Thank you, Princess, for saving my life. We four brothers will never forget you!"
"Everyone, get up. Xiao Si is alive because of his own good fortune." Lin Jinghan examined Wu Si and confirmed that he was not seriously ill for the time being. She asked:
"Xiao Si's condition is very stable now. Do you know how to bandage him?"
