Seeing that Jiang Xinian was angry, Xiao Lingdang was not annoyed and explained with a smile, "No, I told you, I told my parents last night.
They already know about it, and they are all very relieved that I will be going with you, Master!"
Just kidding, not only that, she also brought Zhao along.
It’s just that it’s in space, otherwise Zhao wouldn’t be able to bear the fatigue of the journey.
Having learned from the last lesson, she made very careful arrangements for this trip.
Not only were people arranged to protect my uncle, parents and others, but a lot of people were also arranged inside and outside the princess's mansion.
Liu Jingrou still lived in the Lin family with her two children, but she would take the children to the herbal medicine restaurant in the city during the day, and then come back with Fang and others after the restaurant closed.
In this way, no one is left alone, and with someone secretly protecting them, the level of security increases dramatically.
Jiang Xinian looked at her and didn't know what to say for a moment. After a while, he patted Xiao Lingling's head.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and let's go. But you don't plan on us just walking there, do you?"
Little Bell smiled and said, "Of course not. Master, please wait a moment. I'll go get the horse."
She walked into the woods nearby and came out with two tall horses with several bundles hanging on them.
Jiang Xinian's eyes flashed, but he didn't ask any more questions.
"Master, don't worry. These two horses are amazing. Not only are they fast, but they're also very stable. Let's go.
If you see the group of people you met before on the road, please remind me."
Jiang Xinian nodded, a serious look flashing in his eyes, "Okay, I understand. Let's go. If we set off now, we can still reach the next town before dark."
Chen'an Prefecture is naturally not far from the north, but it took more than a month to escape.
That was still with the help of a carriage.
But now if we work faster, the time can basically be compressed to about seven days.
However, Xiao Lingling was worried that the situation in the north was out of control, so she and Jiang Xinian basically did not stop except for necessary rest.
He never goes into towns or villages and rests outside at night.
Xiao Lingling brought a tent and various food and drinks, so she was a little tired, but the other things didn't have much impact.
On the second day after they set off, Chu Yu also successfully received Xiao Lingling's carrier pigeon message.
He was a little excited when he saw the letter from Xiao Lingling, but after reading it, his mood quickly sank.
He quickly came to the tent where the patient was staying temporarily, and saw Xue Zhining still busy boiling medicine, so he interrupted her.
"How are the people who took the detoxification pill yesterday? Was it effective?"
"Not yet. Not only did it have no effect, it also made them vomit."
Xue Zhining's eyes were filled with worry as she glanced at the dozen or so patients in the tent. "I just made some medicine for everyone that's pretty effective. Although they haven't gotten better, they haven't gotten worse for the time being.
I sent someone to check on the people next door, and they heard their condition was even worse than ours, with many more people falling ill. Some were already falling into comas, and some were even vomiting blood.
Chu Yu guessed that it was probably the water from the spirit pond that worked, but it also indirectly proved that the detoxification pill was useless.
This is really not good news.
The only thing that made him feel a little relieved was that he still had two packs of Lingchi water, which should be enough to last for two days.
"Do we have any new patients here?"
Xue Zhining forced a rare smile. "That's not the case, which is good news. From this perspective, there must be a problem with the food or water over there."
Chu Yu also guessed it, "Send some more food and grass here immediately. Also, the well needs to be repaired as soon as possible. We should use the water from the well.
Also, assign a team to guard the food and water wells. If anyone suspicious approaches, arrest them immediately! "
"Okay! I'll arrange it right away!"
After understanding the situation, Chu Yu immediately returned to the tent, quickly picked up a pen and paper and wrote back to Xiao Lingling. In the letter, he recorded all the current symptoms of the patient in detail, and also wrote down the symptoms after using the detoxification pill.
By the time I finished writing all this, a small piece of letter paper was already full.
He had no choice but to write two words in the last corner: "Wang An."
After writing, he quickly blew the ink dry, put it in a bamboo tube and tied it back to the pigeon's leg.
I fed the pigeon some of the grain I had brought from the box. "Be good, take the letter to your master quickly. Be sure to hurry. When you come back next time, I will definitely bring you some more delicious food."
When the pigeon saw the food in his hand, it ate it all without any hesitation, rubbed against his hand, and flew away.
Qin Zheng was extremely anxious at the moment. People kept coming in and out of his tent, and all of them brought bad news.
Either so many people have fallen ill, or so many people have vomited blood, and even patients have begun to die.
He was now extremely nervous. After so long, he didn't even know how those people got sick. For his own safety, he didn't even want to leave his tent.
He spoke to everyone from a distance, as if he was afraid of contracting the disease himself.
Everyone was heartbroken, but there was no better way.
Even Qin Zheng was like this, not to mention his deputy generals and lieutenant generals, who all avoided him and didn't care about anything at all.
It was only thanks to the spontaneous organization and arrangements of the centurions and thousand-man commanders at the bottom that the situation was able to remain stable.
However, as time went on, the medicinal materials became insufficient, and the death toll gradually began to increase.
In just one day, thirty-six soldiers had died.
Although this number is small compared to the tens of thousands of troops, it is just the beginning. People are still falling ill. Later on, this number will grow like a snowball.
Because of this, a sad atmosphere permeated the military camp, and many people had even given up hope.
The person Xue Zhining arranged to observe secretly did not dare to delay and immediately reported the news to Xue Zhining, which shocked her.
"What did you say? No one cares? If Qin Zheng doesn't care, don't we still have four deputy generals? No one cares either?"
"No one cares at all. I've been guarding outside for the whole afternoon, but no one has come out. Even those who went in to report on the situation were kicked out. They were not allowed in and were told to talk outside.
And I saw clearly that more than thirty people had been carried out and were burned immediately.
Just by looking at it, you can tell that someone must have died of illness!
Right now, everyone in the army over there is dejected and looks lifeless. Lieutenant General Xue, are we really going to just sit there and watch?
They are our brothers after all!"
The soldier who was speaking couldn't help but choke up a little, because his fellow villagers were among them!
