Chapter 248 It’s easy to change a country but hard to change one’s nature
Ye Chuxue smiled slightly upon hearing this and replied softly, "Of course not! However, I'll have to trouble General Wanshan and Master Chen Yu. We need to purchase a large amount of medicinal herbs."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wanshan and Chen Yu responded in unison: "Please rest assured, Princess, I will definitely live up to my mission!" Their voices were sonorous and powerful, revealing their unwavering determination.
Then, she slowly turned her head, staring at Ouyang Zhi with a sharp gaze, and said with her red lips: "Royal brother, I will write down this prescription in detail later.
Please also send this letter to General Ma via carrier pigeon so they can start treating the people as soon as possible."
After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, as if to organize her thoughts, and then continued, "Besides, my royal brother has been staying here for quite some time, and the situation here is gradually stabilizing.
In my opinion, you should depart for the Eastern Liao Kingdom as soon as possible. Once the people here have recovered, I will bring my two children with me to join you. We will then return to the capital to visit our father and mother. Is this arrangement appropriate?
Hearing this, Ouyang Zhi couldn't help but show his joy, and nodded repeatedly in response: "Okay, okay, it's rare for the imperial sister to be so thoughtful and meticulous.
In that case, I will set off for the Eastern Liao Kingdom right now. However, my dear sister, you will be staying here alone, so please take good care of yourself."
After saying that, his face suddenly darkened. He turned around and looked coldly at Yun Muheng, who was standing beside him. He scolded him sternly, "You! You must take good care of Xue'er. If you dare to let Xue'er suffer any injustice or harm, I will definitely not let you go easily!"
Yun Muheng stared at Ye Chuxue intently, his eyes filled with endless affection and attachment, and said firmly: "Don't worry, my royal brother, I will do my best to protect Xue'er.
Even if it comes to a critical moment of life and death, even if it means sacrificing my own life, I will not hesitate!"
Ouyang Zhi, who was standing aside, felt a warm feeling in his heart when he heard this, but his stern face remained calm.
He just curled his lips slightly and pretended to be nonchalant, "Humph, who wants to take your life? You should take care of yourself first, and thank God for not causing trouble for Xue'er."
In the next few days, Ye Chuxue led Doctor Zhang and others to carry out intensive treatment.
Meanwhile, Yun Muheng hadn't slacked off for a moment. He first dispatched personnel to conduct a meticulous carpet search throughout Muyang County, leaving no corner untouched, just to find Yun Muze's whereabouts.
But what is surprising is that not only did Yun Muzhe disappear without a trace as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth, but even Guan Qiuyao disappeared as well.
Yun Muheng's heart tensed instantly, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
He then quickly summoned Wanshan to discuss countermeasures. The two of them sat by candlelight, discussing the current situation and the various possible developments.
After careful consideration, Yun Muheng decided to speed up the pace of military training and enhance the soldiers' combat effectiveness in preparation for emergencies.
When Ye Chuxue learned about this series of events, a cold smile appeared on her lips. She thought to herself, "These two guys are really like that. It's hard to change your nature. They've gotten together and are colluding with each other again."
But this time, I will definitely not show mercy and will make sure they receive the punishment they deserve!"
A few days later, the sun shone brightly on the streets and alleys of Muyang County, and the county town, which was originally shrouded in the shadow of epidemic, gradually regained its vitality.
Most of the people have recovered, and people can be seen coming and going on the streets again, their faces blooming with joyful smiles from the bottom of their hearts.
Ye Chuxue strolled leisurely on the bustling streets, feeling the long-lost lively atmosphere and feeling particularly relaxed.
However, when she passed by a narrow alley, a faint crying sound came into her ears.
Out of strong curiosity and worry, Ye Chuxue couldn't help but walk into the alley.
As she went deeper into the alley, the scene before her startled her.
At the end of the alley, a man in a black robe was roughly wrapping a rope around a little girl who was only five or six years old.
The little girl's face was filled with fear, tears streaming down her face like a broken dam, and her body was shaking with extreme fear.
The man in black became even more furious when he saw the little girl crying non-stop. He suddenly raised his palm and slapped the little girl's delicate cheek mercilessly.
He roared viciously, "Just cry as hard as you can! Even if you cry to death, no one will come to save you!"
Seeing this scene, Ye Chuxue was immediately furious.
Her eyebrows arched, a fierce light flashing in her beautiful eyes. She shouted sternly, "Stop! In broad daylight, in broad daylight, how dare you kidnap a child so brazenly? Don't you really fear the law? You're simply courting death!"
Suddenly, a frightening glint flashed across the black-clad man's normally calm eyes. However, this glint was fleeting, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Then, the man in black slowly raised his head, an expression of extreme contempt and disdain on his face. He stared at Ye Chuxue intently and said in a tone full of sarcasm and provocation: "Humph! Who do you think you are? How dare you meddle in my business! I think you are the one who is not caring about your life!"
His arrogant and domineering words were like a basin of icy water that instantly poured over Ye Chuxue's heart, making her involuntarily alert.
She couldn't help but think to herself, "Strange, this is not right! You know, in this entire county and even in the surrounding counties, almost no one doesn't know me.
But this guy in front of me actually asked who I was? So it seemed that he was definitely not from here.
If that's the case, then why would he kidnap an innocent child here? Is there some hidden conspiracy behind this?
Or... is he actually pretending not to know me, hoping to use this opportunity to set a trap for me?"
Just as Ye Chuxue fell into deep thought, the man in black keenly caught her distracted state.
A barely perceptible ferocity suddenly flashed across his eyes, and without hesitation he stretched out a strong and powerful hand and fiercely pinched the delicate arm of the kidnapped little girl.
All that was heard was the little girl's extremely shrill scream, which resounded through the sky.
Her small body trembled violently from the pain, and tears as big as beans poured out like a bursting dam, rolling down her terrified little face.
