Chapter 442: Prince Xiang is safe
Qin Yuzhuo and the second old lady in the back didn't think much of it, but the third old lady almost laughed out loud, pointing her sword and saying, "The commander has given the order, charge through the barrier!"
The people guarding the checkpoint naturally saw the dark army, and while they sent people to report the news, they also organized their troops to fight.
Even though the 3,000 Qin family soldiers were not in formation, they still crushed the 1,000 people guarding the pass. Soon the leader recognized them: "No, these are not bandits, they are the Qin family soldiers. Retreat!"
However, it was impossible to retreat at this time. The Qin army surrounded these people, reduced the battle group, and finally captured the leader alive.
"Can you now answer our commander's questions properly?" the third old lady asked the arrogant young man with his hands tied.
"Who are you to mobilize the Qin family army... Marquis Wuning is clearly trapped inside. Are you from the Qin family?"
The man's eyes fell on Su Qianqian. He could see that everyone obeyed her orders, but he couldn't figure out why the Qin army was led by such a petite person.
"Defeated general, let me ask you first, why did you set up a checkpoint here?" Su Qianqian asked.
The man sneered, "Since you are from the Qin family, you should know what happened before. Do you need me to tell you? Not allowing people to enter is naturally to let those people fend for themselves so as not to be disturbed."
Qin Yuzhuo raised his sword and wanted to pierce this man: "Those officials who came to provide disaster relief are here too. Are they all going to fend for themselves?"
That person's silence was tantamount to his agreement.
"His Royal Highness Prince Xiang is a prince, and you aristocratic families dare to look down on him like this!" Xue Zhiqing only cares about Prince Xiang, and this is what makes her most angry.
"Aristocratic families are most particular about rules and integrity, so this is the integrity you are proud of?
Take off all these noble young men's outer clothes... except for their underwear, and then send them to the city of Hongzhou and inform the guards on the city wall:
If the prefect of Hongzhou does not deliver the medicine supplies I listed to Cangshan Village by noon tomorrow, the disaster relief envoy will report to Your Majesty that Hongzhou is plotting to besiege the prince and kill the royal family. ”
After Su Qianqian finished speaking, she led the female family members and rushed forward, leaving the arrogant young masters from aristocratic families behind her to roar and beg for clothes to be stripped off.
"Third sister-in-law, what do you want their clothes for? Just humiliate them. It will be a burden to carry those clothes." Qin Yuzhuo asked while riding the horse.
"These clothes are very useful. Young masters of aristocratic families are very particular. Since there is a village with an epidemic not far ahead, the clothes they wear must have been fumigated with medicine. I can also smell the medicine. These clothes are effective in preventing the spread of epidemics."
Su Qianqian gave a simple explanation. Xue Zhiqing next to her turned her head slightly to look at Su Qianqian. She was not wearing any makeup and was only wearing simple men's clothes. Her eyes were covered but firm and moving, making her even more attractive than Xue Wanning, who had an outstanding temperament.
Xue Zhiqing turned her head and looked forward. The only person in her heart was Prince Xiang Li Yunjin. Fortunately, the person in Li Yunjin's heart was not Su Qianqian.
It was already dark after we passed the checkpoint, but we soon saw tiny sparks of fire in the distance. We followed the fire and when we got close we saw the disaster relief flags and tents.
Qin Shiliu went to report first, and soon a tall figure appeared at the camp gate. Qin Hanzhang strode towards Su Qianqian. Even though everyone was wearing a mask, he recognized her at a glance.
"How did you get here? It's dangerous here. Go back immediately. I will take you to Hongzhou."
When Qin Hanzhang was almost in front of Su Qianqian, he suddenly took a step back and gestured to Su Qianqian to stop.
"Don't worry, my Lord. We have the best doctors here who are good at treating plague. We also took precautions when we came here. As long as we are careful, we will not be infected."
Su Qianqian pointed at the three imperial doctors.
"Brother, where is His Royal Highness Prince Xiang?" Xue Zhiqing was thinking of Prince Xiang.
"Your Highness Prince Xiang..." Qin Hanzhang hesitated.
"What's wrong with him? Is he also infected..." Xue Zhiqing was anxious.
"No, His Royal Highness Prince Xiang is now in Sihe Village, where there are few people..."
[Oh, why don’t you just say that Prince Xiang has gone to a safe place? Despite his reputation outside, he is still fighting on the front line against the epidemic! 】
The system, which had been silent until now, started to complain.
The male protagonist's filter was shattered by a system with bad mouths.
Qin Yuzhuo curled her lips. She had originally been very optimistic about Prince Xiang, but she didn't expect that he was also a fame-seeker.
"The population is small...Brother, how can you let Prince Xiang go to a dangerous place? Does the small population mean that all the villagers have died?" Xue Zhiqing had a rather novel idea.
"His Royal Highness Prince Xiang should be in the most dangerous place. He is the disaster relief envoy. Your brother is just guarding Prince Xiang. What's wrong with that?" Su Qianqian stared at Xue Zhiqing coldly.
The imperial physician who followed nodded repeatedly: "That's right, I wonder where the Sihe Village is, how many villagers have died of the disease, and how many others are infected?"
"No." Qin Hanzhang replied with only two words.
"Nothing? My Lord, are there not many people left alive?" The imperial physician felt a chill in his heart.
"No one died. Although there are rivers on all sides, the land there is at the highest point and was least affected by the flood. The people and animals in the village were all safe, and no one was found to have contracted the epidemic afterwards."
Qin Hanzhang said a few more words this time.
The three imperial doctors looked at each other, blinking in the flickering firelight, trying to guess what Qin Hanzhang meant.
"Let's set up camp first, and keep a distance from the military camp here. We will go to your tents to see if any soldiers are sick."
Su Qianqian first instructed Qin Shiliu, and without paying any attention to Xue Zhiqing who was in a daze, she walked towards the military camp with Qin Hanzhang.
The three imperial doctors hurried to follow, and it seemed that there was no need to rush to King Xiang.
There were indeed soldiers with fever in the military camp, drinking the medicine given by the doctor from Hongzhou. The imperial physician looked at the prescription and felt that the treatment direction was correct, but the effect was indeed not good.
Su Qianqian focused on checking the epidemic prevention environment in the tents. She boiled water with the herbs she brought and sprinkled it in all the tents first. Then she asked the soldiers to use the herbal water to wash their bodies and change into the clothes taken from the young masters of the aristocratic families.
Qin Hanzhang did not bring many people with him, and these thousand sets of clothes were basically enough. In addition to King Xiang, he also brought some secret guards and bodyguards.
After working like this for most of the night, the Qin army finally settled down, and the imperial guards led by Qin Hanzhang were all ready for protection.
"Eat something. There's nothing good here. We'll just have to make do with what we have."
Qin Hanzhang was holding a bowl of noodle soup in one hand and some compressed biscuits in the other. What was rare was that there was an egg in the noodle soup.
"Can I get eggs in this place?" Su Qianqian took it, very curious.
"There are poultry that survived in the village, but not many. This is the egg-laying season, and I exchanged them for food," Qin Hanzhang explained.
"Your Majesty, please eat it. I have some pickled vegetables and dried meat here." Su Qianqian took things out of her arms like a magician.
"You... brought them all the way here?" Qin Hanzhang's voice was a little hoarse as he watched Su Qianqian holding out those things as if she were presenting treasures.
