After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight
Chapter 14 As long as you are safe
On the way back, Yun Zishu was worried that Chu Jiang was not safe alone, and asked him how he planned to go to Yunzhou.
Chu Xi smiled mysteriously. It would be too conspicuous to ask the guards of the government office to escort her, so she had already selected her helpers.
"I heard that there is a group of escorts in Zhuozhou who claim that as long as you have money, you can definitely deliver things to any place, even to the ends of the earth."
"You want the Far East Escort Agency to escort these medicinal herbs?" Yun Zishu was surprised.
"Isn't it good?" Chu Xi raised his eyebrows.
Yun Zishu laughed, "No, it's good. Most people probably wouldn't think of this. Your idea is good. Qi Bai is getting smarter now."
Chu Xi had a smug expression on his face. He was humble when he should be, but he could hardly hide his smugness when he was praised. This was the temperament that the young general in the original book should have.
484 inappropriately praised Chu Xi in his mind: "If you continue to act like this, no one will doubt that you are not Chu Jiang."
Chu Xi's mood was hard to describe. He felt like he was being praised, but also like he wasn't.
After all, being praised as looking like a boy doesn't seem to be something worth being happy about.
Yun Zishu didn't want people to guess who was Chu Jiang, so he asked the herbal medicine shop to deliver the medicine to the escort agency in batches, and the task was directly entrusted to the escort agency.
Naturally, this matter was not done by him, but by the advisor beside him.
If he went there in person, his target would be too obvious. So the lawyer disguised himself and went there under the cover of night to make the explanation less conspicuous.
Yun Zishu signed IOUs with each herbal medicine shop. He will pay the debt later. Naturally, he will not pay this money. Chu Xi will ask Zhou Yichen for it when he goes back.
The disaster relief funds cannot be touched, but it is no problem for her and Zhou Yichen to pay for the medicinal materials privately.
Chu Xi still had three hundred silver coins in her hand, which she gave to the escort agency as a deposit. She changed into an outfit like a young man from the Jianghu, looking casual, sunny, and full of youthfulness.
She told the Far East Escort Agency that she wanted to tag along. The escorts at the Far East Escort Agency were very young. They called him Young Escort Master, and he seemed to be about the same age as Chu Jiang.
The other party quickly agreed to Chu Xi's conditions. The boy's thinking was purely simplistic, which made him burn his CPU non-stop recently. He felt that his brain nerves were about to burn out if they continued to work like this.
"You are so beautiful. If you were not wearing men's clothes and holding a sword, I would have thought you were a woman."
When the young escort leader said this, he laughed heartily and generously, which showed that he... really thought so and was not afraid of offending Chu Xi by saying it out loud.
It has been a long time since I saw such an innocent boy, and Chu Xi misses modern life.
At the age of 17 or 18, we are still in school. No matter how complicated a life is, it can't be as complicated as living in a life full of assassinations and intrigue.
When the young escort leader saw that Chu Xi had calluses on the inside of his fingers and that he was carrying a sword, he knew that Chu Xi knew martial arts.
Along the way, the other party couldn't help asking questions while riding on horseback, asking Chu Xi about his identity, where he came from, what sect he belonged to, and what he had learned.
Chu Xi did have an answer at the beginning, but later on the young escort leader asked too many questions, so Chu Xi just made up some random answers.
"You came to our escort agency because you want to escort these things to Yunzhou, so I'm bold to ask, are there medicinal herbs in them?" The young escort master has a lively personality, and he can talk nonstop even while escorting the goods.
"I heard that your escort agency never asks about the origin of the orders and only takes responsibility for escorting." Chu Xi looked in the direction of Yunzhou.
"Whatever is transported on this convoy will not affect the money I pay you. As long as I pay the balance in the end, it doesn't matter what it is."
The young escort leader was a lively and cheerful person to begin with, so he asked one more question out of curiosity, not because he really wanted to get to the bottom of the matter. After all, the rules were set by their Far East Escort Agency themselves.
"makes sense."
*
Hundreds of bodies were carried out from the dyeing workshop in Yunzhou City in the past two days. There were not enough medicines for those patients who had been hospitalized for several days, so Doctor Wang and others could only prescribe very low dosages.
The role it can play is also limited. For some seriously ill people and the elderly, such a role is completely useless.
So, in just two days, the number of corpses carried out was shocking to see.
"Your Highness, I want to go find the young master." Chu Er had been watched by people sent by Zhou Yichen for two days and he could no longer sit still.
The young master ran out alone to collect medicinal herbs, with no one by his side. Chu Er couldn't help but worry.
"Chu Er, I know you are worried about Qi Bai. I am just as worried about Qi Bai as you are. But now we can only enter Yunzhou City but not leave. If we stay in the city for too long, no one can guarantee that we will not be infected with the plague."
Zhou Yichen cares about Chu Jiang, but as the number one person in charge of the overall situation in Yunzhou City, he cannot just care about his personal feelings and ignore the lives of the people.
Even the slightest risk could bring danger to other cities. The plague must be controlled in Yunzhou City and must not spread any further.
"Go down and have a rest. I believe that if I were in this situation today, Qi Bai would make the same choice." Zhou Yichen's patience with Chu Er all came from Chu Jiang.
Chu Er clenched his fists. He was not only worried about the young master's safety, but also his identity.
After all, he is not a real... young master, and should be a woman who needs to be cared for by others.
That night, near midnight, the gate of Yunzhou City was knocked. The soldiers guarding the city came from the capital with Chu Xi and the others. They went downstairs and opened the gate, and recognized Chu Xi at a glance.
"Prince Chu."
"No need to salute. These are the herbs I brought back. You can carry them into the city." Chu Xi jumped off the horse with a sword in one hand.
Although she didn't gather 2,000 people, more than 1,000 people were still enough. If they were still not enough later, she could go to other cities.
The people of the Far East Escort Agency realized that this young master Chu, whose handsome appearance did not look like a man, was of extraordinary status. He could make the soldiers guarding the city so respectful, and the other party called him "Prince Chu", which showed that his status was noble.
"I need to go into the city to get the silver, and I'll have someone give it to you later. The situation in Yunzhou City is terrible, so you'd better not go into the city."
Chu Xi bowed to them earnestly, "Thank you all for today's work."
Young people are prone to get excited easily, especially this young escort leader who has a simple mind. "You're welcome. It's our Far East Escort Agency's honor to be able to escort these medicinal herbs to save the people."
Chu Xi nodded at him, chuckled, turned around and led his soldiers to transport all the cartloads of medicinal herbs in.
Zhou Yichen soon heard the guard report that Chu Jiang had returned. He was so excited that he didn't even ask any questions and went straight to the gate.
At the gate of the mansion, Chu Xi was walking up the steps and talking to Chu Er. Chu Er looked excited, "Master, you are finally back."
Chu Xi laughed, "Don't look at me like that, I'm going to get help, not to kill anyone."
"Qi Bai." Zhou Yichen walked quickly, without his usual calmness and elegance.
"Your Highness, Qi Bai has lived up to your trust."
"I'm glad you're back. Even if I haven't managed to collect the herbs, as long as you're safe, that's fine." Zhou Yichen looked Chu Xi up and down, making sure that he was not injured, and only then was he completely relieved.
Chu Xi, "......"
It turned out that she was not over-interpreting the novel when she read it, but this dialogue was really hard not to be misunderstood.
