Officers and soldiers? Leng Li's heart thumped a little and he hurried forward.
When he saw the so-called officers and soldiers in heavy armor in front of him, Leng Li was stunned.
"Are you...the armored army?"
Only a few close associates around the emperor knew that Dayan had an armored army, but they did not know that the armored army was actually cultivated by Helian Mochuan.
Leng Li had only seen them from a distance. He had never seen their true appearance in heavy armor.
"Captain Leng, the regent asked me to wait here to greet you and escort you back to Beijing!"
The Qi family members who were escorted also had expressions of surprise on their faces. The equipment of these people was not the armor of ordinary officers and soldiers at all, and they all held heavy weapons in their hands. Looking from a distance, one could feel the murderous aura.
"The prince sent you to escort me? I wonder if you have a token or letter from the prince in your hand!"
Leng Li was very careful. She had five hundred thousand taels of grain, grass and medicinal materials behind her. If something went wrong with these things, Leng Li would not be able to make up for it even if he died to apologize.
Master Wei also had a look of fear. He, a medicine seller, had never seen such a battle before. He was so frightened that he hid in the carriage and did not dare to show his face.
The leading armored general took something out of his arms and threw it to Leng Li.
"Here is the token of the right envoy of the Golden Scale Guard, Lieutenant Colonel Leng, you can rest assured!"
Leng Li took a look at the waist badge and saw that it was indeed Su Feng's, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned around, looked at the guards of the Qi family, cupped her hands and said, "Thanks to all of you for escorting me along the way, Leng will definitely tell the regent that if Mr. Qi needs anything in the future, the regent's palace will definitely help him!"
Originally, Mr. Qi thought that the person buying medicine was just Eucommia Thatched Cottage, hoping to exploit the epidemic to make a fortune from the national crisis. But now that he saw these armored troops, telling Mr. Qi would probably scare him half to death.
"And this!" As he spoke, Leng Li threw a box to the Qi family's guard.
"This is Mr. Qi's banknote. Please keep it safe and deliver it to Mr. Qi!"
The leading guard took a deep look at Leng Li, opened the box and looked at it. It was indeed a banknote of two hundred thousand taels, and then he closed the box.
"The money and goods are cleared, I'll say goodbye later!"
The Qi family hurriedly left, and the leader led a group of guards and ran for thirty miles before they dared to stop and rest.
"Young Master, are you so nervous, are you afraid that the people in the Regent's Palace will take advantage of you?"
Qi Weimin looked at the guard who spoke coldly, snorted and said: "What do you know? Do you know who those people wearing heavy armor are? Those are the armored troops of the imperial court. They can fight one against a thousand armored troops. They
Appearing there means there will be killings nearby, if we don’t run away, why don’t we just wait to be silenced!”
Even after running thirty miles, Qi Weimin still did not dare to take it lightly. After resting for only half an hour, he set off and rushed towards Mingcheng.
The warehouse where Ning Wan is located is now running out of ammunition and food. Except for the patients in Area A who still need medicine, the patients in other wards have no medicine left.
"Miss, what should we do now? We have no more medicine. If this continues, everyone will have no choice but to wait to die!"
Ning Wan came out of the ward and went to the pharmacy where the medicine was prepared. The pharmacy was already empty and all the medicinal materials had been used up. Moreover, the Eighth Prince did not allow the Eucommia Thatched Cottage to help them, even though the Eucommia Thatched Cottage's carriage transporting medicinal materials was outside.
, he also asked the imperial guards to stop them from entering.
Ning Wan took off her veil and looked at the door coldly.
"Baizhu, come with me for a walk! Zi Su, I asked you to take out all the used medicinal residues to dry. Have you done it?" Zi Su heard this and nodded quickly.
In order to prevent such a situation of running out of ammunition and food, Ning Wan reserved such a hand, but she did not expect that it would actually be used.
"Miss, they are all dried and put together according to different recipes!"
Ning Wan nodded. In fact, even if they went out to argue, they might not be able to get the medicine in, but now, they had no other choice.
"Grind the dregs of the medicine into powder and give it to the patients. Each person takes three spoons of the powder. Wait until I come back to see the effect!"
With that said, Ning Wan took Baizhu out. When he saw her coming out, He Lianhong also got off the horse.
"Miss Ning is finally willing to come forward. My father has an order. As long as you retreat in spite of the difficulties, your engagement with the emperor's uncle will still be valid! If you are still stubborn, Miss Ning will probably face punishment from the court!
"
Ning Wan curled her lips. Although she was in a mess and her face was haggard, her eyes were as bright as fire and still had an irresistible intimidation.
"I heard from the prince that the emperor has cultivated His Highness the Eighth Prince for many years. Although he appointed the crown prince early, in fact, the Emperor's favorite candidate for the throne has always been His Highness the Eighth Prince, right?" After Ning Wan finished speaking, He Lianhong's expression changed greatly.
"Ning Wan, what exactly do you want to say?"
Ning Wan raised her eyebrows and sneered: "Before I said anything, His Highness became angry and angry. Why, the future prince who was personally trained by the emperor has such a little bearing?"
