His words were like a pebble thrown into a lake, creating ripples. Xu Yuehuai was also filled with confusion.
She knew that Dongsang was one of the richest countries on the continent, where the people lived in peace and prosperity, and the ruler was benevolent and enlightened.
However, these refugees fled from there, and there must be a hidden story behind it.
In the darkness, the group of ragged refugees looked as helpless as withered straw. The wounds on their faces bore witness to their suffering, yet their eyes shone with a sharp glint.
Their existence is like a silent indictment, protesting that the country that once brought them peace and prosperity has now become their nightmare.
Qi Guze was deeply moved. He too had experienced the struggles for power and the suffering of the people. He knew all too well how important a country's stability and prosperity were, and that these refugees, forced to leave their homes for various reasons, were truly heartbreaking.
If possible, no one would want to leave their hometown!
The Ghost Doctor then began to ponder deeper questions. He recalled the history and traditions of the Eastern Sang Kingdom, trying to find the reason why the refugees fled, but he really couldn't figure it out.
When asked, those people kept stammering and couldn't give a clear answer, as if they were deliberately hiding something.
If they want to know why the Eastern Sang Kingdom has undergone such a drastic change, they will probably have to wait until they arrive in the Eastern Sang Kingdom to find out.
So the ghost doctor stopped interrogating those people and then gave them some medicine and food.
"Take these things. This road will take you to Wuling Kingdom. Take my token to the city gate, and the guards will let you in!" Qi Guze handed his sword tassel to the refugees.
They immediately took everything and thanked the group, saying, "Thank you so much for helping us!"
"You guys are such kind people!"
May you have a safe journey!
......
They immediately turned and left, not even pausing for a moment to take another breath. As if something terrifying was chasing them, they ran incredibly fast and quickly disappeared into the wilderness.
The night was filled with the brilliant starlight, as if the eyes of heaven were watching over all living beings on this land. And the ragged refugees found a glimmer of hope under the starlight.
In the quiet night, the hearts of the group were in turmoil.
Standing under the moonlight, thinking of the group of ragged refugees, their emotions surged like waves.
Qi Guze's eyes held a deep worry. Looking at the refugees shivering in the cold wind, he felt a pang of pain in his heart. His brows furrowed, and his lips twitched slightly, as if he were desperately suppressing his anger and grief.
"If too many injustices and sufferings go unaddressed and unresolved, the four countries will surely experience great turmoil. If war breaks out, the people's livelihood will be in grave danger!"
Qi Guze's voice trembled slightly, but his tone was firm and powerful.
Xu Yuehuai's face was also filled with worry. She gently grasped Qi Guze's hand, her eyes revealing a tender strength. She knew that Qi Guze needed her support at this moment.
"Yes! We must hurry and see what's happening in Dongsang Kingdom!"
The Ghost Doctor stood silently to the side, frowning. His eyes were deep and complex, as if he were deep in thought.
He sighed deeply, as if to release the heaviness in his heart.
Qi Guze looked at the Ghost Doctor, a sense of doubt creeping into his heart.
He knew the Ghost Doctor was a thoughtful man, and there must be something hidden behind his silence. But he also knew that now was not the time to press for answers.
"Okay, everyone, let's continue resting for now, and continue our journey when it gets light!" Qi Guze said.
His voice was a little hoarse, but his eyes were unwavering.
Now, they must conserve their energy to better uncover the truth behind this.
As night deepened, the group returned to their tents to rest quietly. However, their hearts remained restless; the images of the ragged refugees lingered in their minds.
As dawn broke, the morning light bathed the earth.
The group set off silently in the morning light, their steps firm and powerful.
After traversing the vast desert and climbing treacherous mountains, the group finally arrived at the mysterious Kingdom of Dongsang.
However, the sight before them stunned them. The once prosperous country was now ravaged, filled with ruins and refugees, and their hearts were filled with confusion and doubt.
Xu Yuehuai and the Ghost Doctor stood on the ruins of the Eastern Sang Kingdom, and the sight around them made them unable to believe their eyes.
The once bustling city is now nothing but ruins, as if it had just survived a nightmare. Xu Yuehuai's brows were furrowed, her eyes filled with worry and doubt.
She looked at the Ghost Doctor, a hint of unease in her voice: "What exactly is going on?"
The Ghost Doctor's eyes were also filled with shock. He was silent for a moment, then said, "They may have encountered a particularly great disaster here." His voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating that he was also greatly shaken.
Xu Yuehuai's brows furrowed even deeper. She nodded, her eyes revealing deep worry: "Then what should we do? Now that everything here is damaged, can we really find the Jade Pool Immortal Herb to save Zi'ang here?" Xu Yuehuai's worries were not unfounded.
Their goal on this journey, the Jade Pool Immortal Herb, is their only hope for saving Xu Ziang.
But now it seems that this hope has also vanished with this disaster.
Qi Guze looked at Xu Yuehuai, held her hand, and said firmly, "Let's take it one step at a time. The situation isn't the worst; we'll definitely find it." His eyes shone with a gentle light, clearly indicating that this was a decision made after careful consideration.
Xu Yuehuai looked at Qi Guze and felt his care and love. She knew that at this time, they must not give up easily!
So she took a deep breath and tried to calm her turbulent emotions: "Yes, we will definitely find the Jade Pool Immortal Herb to save Zi'ang!"
She held Qi Ziang tightly in her arms, her expression softening completely.
The Ghost Doctor suddenly said, "I remember the route that person mentioned. I'll take you there!"
When Xu Yuehuai heard this, she understood that the Ghost Doctor must have come from Dongsang Kingdom.
After all, there are very few people with such high medical skills as the Ghost Doctor in the entire Four Kingdoms!
"Then let's do as you say, hurry up and take us to find it!"
Then they began their arduous search, traversing the ruins with utmost care, each step carefully taken to avoid stepping on any broken objects.
The air around us was heavy and oppressive, making it difficult to even breathe.
