Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

"You pretend to be a disaster victim, blend in with these people, follow them, and go to the outside of Qingdu City to check the situation." General Duan stared at the little leader in front of him with a firm gaze and ordered in a serious tone.

"Yes, General! I will do it immediately." After receiving the order, the little leader turned around and ran towards the city gate without hesitation.

At this moment, General Duan was filled with anxiety and helplessness. Facing the current severe situation, he knew that every ray of hope was as precious as a life-saving straw. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he was willing to take the risk and try it. Otherwise, everyone in Danyang City would probably be in a desperate situation with no way out.

What made him even more worried was that there were people from Hongnan Country mixed in the army. Previously, he had planned to discuss countermeasures with Princess Yongan, but Princess Yongan from Hongnan Country closed the gate and refused anyone to enter. General Duan never expected that Princess Yongan would be so selfish and afraid of death, which made him very angry and he simply stopped looking for her.

So, General Duan sent someone to invite General Wei and revealed to him: "I heard that there is no plague outbreak in Qingdu City, and they are actively providing medical treatment for our country's victims." There was a glimmer of expectation and hope in his words.

"Are you saying that the Yuan people can cure this plague?" General Wei asked with his eyes wide open and a look of disbelief on his face.

"I heard from the victims outside the city that there are people in Yuan Kingdom who can cure this plague, and the effect is very significant. Now, more and more people are flocking in that direction. I have sent a soldier to find out if it is true." General Duan replied in a serious tone.

"Even if these rumors are true, the Yuan people will never come to save us! Have you forgotten? At this moment, our two countries are at war!" General Wei reminded with a frown.

He thought to himself: The relationship between Yuan and my country is tense, and we regard each other as enemies. How could the Yuan people easily lend a helping hand during such a sensitive period?

Hearing General Wei say this, General Duan was also unsure. Yes, even if they could really cure the plague, why should they help them?

As for the little leader, after leaving the city, he carefully mixed in with the crowd of victims and followed them step by step to the outskirts of Qingdu City.

Before he got close, he saw from afar many tents built outside the city. Yuan soldiers wearing masks on their faces had set up several large pots on the open ground, and fragrant millet porridge was bubbling in the pots.

As there was a steady stream of disaster victims rushing here, the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty took the newly arrived victims to a specific place, had them line up in an orderly manner, and then distributed a small pill to each person for them to take.

The little leader also pretended to be an ordinary disaster victim and followed the team in line. When it was his turn, he saw a little old man sitting behind a table filled with various porcelain bottles and jars. The old man took a pill from the jar in a leisurely manner and urged people to eat it quickly.

What he didn't know was that the old man was Doctor He. When the little leader stretched out his hand, Doctor He put a pill in his hand and said, "Eat it quickly." Then he took the next one.

The little leader took the pill, put it in his mouth, and walked forward with the crowd.

As soon as the pill enters the mouth, it melts immediately, with a slight bitter taste at first and then a sweet aftertaste.

Then, he and several other victims were taken to a tent by Yuan soldiers. "You rest here first, and when it's time for dinner, you can line up there to get your meals." The soldier said as he pointed to the place where porridge was being cooked not far away.

"Yes, yes, thank you, General." The victims responded quickly.

After the soldier finished his work here, he went to work somewhere else.

"I didn't expect that the Yuan people would really save us." said one person.

"Yeah, well, how did you feel after taking that pill just now?" one person asked.

"I had a slight fever and my head was aching from time to time. After taking the pill, I no longer have a fever and my head doesn't hurt anymore," someone said.

"Yeah, I was feeling a little nauseous and wanted to vomit, but now I don't have that feeling anymore, and I feel much better. I must eat a big bowl of porridge later." Someone else said.

"I heard from others that the regent princess of the Yuan Dynasty is a miracle doctor. These pills were made by her. Some people have seen it with their own eyes. The princess is as beautiful as a fairy, and is especially gentle to us disaster victims. The porridge and tents were made by the princess." Someone else said.

The little leader who came to inquire about the news sat aside and listened silently. He planned to wait until dark and then sneak back to Danyang City alone.

General Duan and General Wei, who had been waiting for news in the Danyang City Government Office, sat in the conference room waiting.

It was not until the second half of the night that two soldiers, one on each side, carried the little leader into the meeting room of the government office.

When he saw the man coming back, General Duan stood up and asked anxiously, "What's the situation over there?"

The little leader was so tired that he was out of breath and spoke incoherently: "General, can you...can you let me drink some water?"

"Come, give him some water." General Duan ordered.

The little leader gulped down a large bowl of water before he regained his breath and told in detail what he had experienced, heard and seen outside Qingdu City.

General Duan and General Wei still found it hard to believe what he said, and asked in unison, "Is what you said true?"

"It's true. These are my personal experiences. Even if you give me ten times the courage, I would not dare to deceive the general!" said the little leader.

"Did you take the pill too?" General Duan asked again.

"Yes, every disaster victim who comes there will have a share." replied the little leader.

"Is that pill really effective?" General Duan asked again.

"Yes, General. I saw the disaster victims outside Qingdu City. Everyone was normal, including the elderly and children. No one looked sick. Everyone was in good spirits." The little leader continued to answer.

"Was this medicine made by the Regent Princess?" General Duan continued to ask.

"Yes, I heard others say so." said the little leader.

"Okay, I got it. You can go down." General Duan said.

"Yes," the little leader said and left.

"Lord Wei, what do you think?" General Duan asked after everyone left.
