Fubao watched the furious Xiaoshui gradually calm down under Qingyang's comfort. His behavior just now was not like that of an ordinary soldier, but rather like an enemy with whom they had a deep hatred.

When King Li of the previous dynasty started his rebellion, for the common people, as long as he did not increase corvée and taxes, and did not start a war to displace them, there would be no difference between the current Tianqi Dynasty and the previous one. They could still live their lives as usual.

So the whole family was very calm, but Xiaoshui was obviously not like that. But he didn't say anything, and she didn't want to ask.

The city gates were closed from then on, and the former dynasty established a new king. A few days later, on their way to Yuzhou, they heard an imperial edict formally declaring war on the court.

Xiaoshui: "We are out of Linzhou City now. Now we can walk slowly."

Li Huaiqing asked solemnly, "Are those who rested under the city wall that day able to come out again?"

Xiaoshui was silent for a while: "There will be a war in the future. Unless the city gate here is broken by our soldiers, otherwise..." otherwise it will never be opened again, but the second half of the sentence was swallowed back into his stomach.

Fubao: "How long will it take us to get to Yuzhou?"

Xiaoshui: "Ten days at the shortest, half a month at the longest."

She didn't expect the distance between the two cities to be so far, but after leaving Linzhou, she found that the environment along the way was getting better and better, with spring breeze blowing on her face and green mountains in the distance. In Linzhou, most of the trees were bare, and even the bark was peeled off.

Fubao picked up a small flower on the roadside and exclaimed: "I thought every place was the same as home, but I didn't expect it to be so beautiful here."

Qingyang raised his eyelids lazily and said, "Linzhou can be said to be the place with the worst climate in the entire Tianqi Kingdom, except for the border. In the past thirty years, there have been constant disasters of all sizes."

Fu Bao asked curiously, "Then why did this group of people choose Linzhou as the place to start their rebellion?"

Xiaoshui explained, "Linzhou was extremely wealthy in the past, and its population was more than twice that of other states. Although there were natural disasters later, people could not leave because they had to stay in the state where they were registered. In other words, there were enough people here."

"Of course we need people to fight a war, and Linzhou is not only easy to defend but also difficult to attack. Because of natural disasters, the imperial court allocated enough food every year for them to support an army."

Fu Bao: "But no matter what, if we can't produce food from the land, we will run out of food sooner or later."

Xiao Shui clenched his fists: "So this is just their first step. They even claimed that they would conquer Yuzhou within a year."

Yuzhou and Linzhou are not far from each other. Not only does Yuzhou have a large population, but it is also rich in grains and fruits and has smooth waterways. Linzhou has iron mines, so it is a place they must fight for.

Fubao pondered: Let's settle down in Yuzhou first, and then make other plans. We can't stay in a place of war for long.

They got on the official road, which was wide and flat, making the journey much more comfortable. There were tea houses and post stations on the roadside.

Qingyang opened his eyes lazily: "Go have a cup of tea, and then we'll get going later."

Xiaoshui drove the ox cart to the tea shop in front: "Give me three pots of Longjing tea." The family squeezed under the tea shop and occupied three tables.

The waiter agreed attentively and quickly served the tea: "Sir, please enjoy your meal."

Fubao gently picked up the teacup, wondering why he had to stop to drink tea, when it started to rain outside. It was still sunny, but suddenly a rainstorm came.

I had just finished a pot of tea when the rain, which came and went quickly, stopped.

Fubao stared in amazement as Qingyang, dressed in a Taoist robe, stood up, brushed off the non-existent dust on his body, and strode towards the ox cart with his head held high.

The earth-shaking sound of horse hooves suddenly appeared and was getting closer. Several soldiers in armor, riding maroon horses, were running from a distance, and something was faintly dragged behind them.

It was not until he got closer that Fu Bao was surprised to see: "Is that a person?"

Before anyone could reply, the man riding in the front shouted angrily, "People in the front! If you don't want to die, get out of my way!"

The family dodged again and again. The dust raised by the horses blurred people's vision, but they could still see the bloody person behind them.

Fu Bao was shocked and said, "Oh my God, what are they doing?"

The waiter was no longer surprised: "Are you new here? This is Linzhou territory. Those people who were dragged behind the horses just now were all captured Apocalypse soldiers."

Xiao Shui was furious: "They have no respect for the law!"

The waiter didn't care: "What can we do? The imperial court won't send troops, and these rebels will kill more than a dozen prisoners a day."

The fierce man remained silent, and the bulging veins on his forehead made people feel his anger. He hammered the wood beside him fiercely and said, "Drink more tea, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he drew out his long sword, rode over the shop owner's horse and chased in the direction of the group of people.

Fubao: “Hey!”

Qingyang said indifferently: "Don't worry, let him go." Then he returned to his previous seat with his Taoist robe fluttering: "Shopkeeper, bring me two more plates of refreshments."

Half an hour later, Qingyang stood up and said, "I'll go for a walk nearby and come back later." Then he walked forward and disappeared soon after.

As soon as he left, Xiaoshui got on the ox cart with a bloody person.

Xiao Shui: "Help him quickly and save him."

Fubao was at a loss as to what to do, looking around. This master was too unreliable. He was always there when nothing was wrong, but when something went wrong, he was nowhere to be found.

The man was bleeding heavily, and Fubao didn't have time to look for anyone else. He immediately used a clean cloth to clean the dust off his wound and sprinkled hemostatic powder on it.

He touched his bones again and said, "It seems to be broken in many places. I will try my best."

The man was already dying, lying there unable to move, with a piece of flesh worn off the side of his face.

Zhao Xiuer couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she followed Zhang Ercui and the others to the side.

Fubao didn't care about the blood on his body, and pressed the place where he was bleeding the most: "This is probably cut by a knife. The blood is flowing too much. It needs to be sewed up."

Even Li Huaiqing was a little shocked: "What? How to sew? Are you going to sew the flesh like sewing clothes?"

Fubao nodded, turned to Zhao Xiuer and shouted, "Mom, get the needle and thread!"

Zhao Xiuer hurriedly handed the things over. Fubao took out white wine from the space, lit a candle, and disinfected the needle and thread.

I used cotton wool and alcohol to wipe his wound. The man instantly bent over like a fish being splashed with hot water: "Ah!!!"

Fubao: "Hold him down!"

Xiaoshui's arms locked him tightly like an iron chain, and Fubao's hands flew up and down, cleaning his wounds.

The little girl, who was originally a little pretentious, was now holding a needle and thread, sewing a long line on the skin of the person in front of her.

Finally, Fu Bao, who was sweating coldly, said: "Okay, let him rest for now."

Li Huaiqing watched the whole process and exclaimed: "My goodness, how can you be so brave for such a small kid?"

Fubao was shocked and frightened, and sighed: "If I didn't sew it, he would probably die..."

Xiao Shui patted her head gently: "You are awesome, you saved a life."

An indescribable sense of pride surged into her heart, spreading from a trace of warmth into a warm feeling, and she suddenly felt the significance of studying medicine.

After dealing with all this, Qingyang's figure slowly appeared in their sight.
