Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Yun Shanhu secretly hated when she heard this: Madam Yun, it’s Madam Yun again!

Why is this young widow so troublesome!

Yun Shanhu has no interest in yams or anything like that.

It grows in the soil and is dirty. It makes you itchy when you touch it. How can it be a good thing?

She just wanted to hurry and get out of Fengluo Mountain as soon as possible.

But because we wanted to dig yam, we discussed it that night and decided to stay here for two days.

When Yun Shanhu found out, she was so angry that her nose almost became crooked.

However, the villagers didn't care about her opinion at all.

Some villagers have already tried to boil yam in water and eat it.

The cooked yam tastes soft and sticky, with a slightly sweet taste.

This is much more delicious than wild vegetables in the mountains.

So the villagers tried their best to dig as much as possible, and take as much as they could with them when they set out on the journey.

This yam is suitable for eating on the road or saving to sell to a pharmacy.

So compared with their own interests, Yun Shanhu’s dissatisfaction is nothing.

Yun Shanhu couldn't convince the villagers, so she had to run to find Ding Mingrui.

Unexpectedly, Ding Mingrui asked her to stop making trouble, and said that she was in a hurry to travel before, and it would be good to take this opportunity to rest for two days.

After Ding Mingrui comforted Yun Shanhu with a few words, he turned around and went to find Yun Fuling.

Because of the yam incident, Ding Mingrui finally found an excuse to talk to Yun Fuling.

In fact, Ding Mingrui had previously collected some white powder from Chen Xiaobao. After studying it privately, he completely changed his impression of Yun Fuling.

Yun Fuling is a person with real ability.

Just in terms of pharmaceutical manufacturing, Ding Mingrui couldn't catch up even if he tried his best.

So this time his attitude was very positive, and in front of Yun Fuling, his whole body was full of humility.

Yun Fuling saw that he was no longer so arrogant, so when he approached her to talk to her, she was happy to respond with a few words.

Occasionally he would ask some questions and Yun Fuling would give him some guidance.

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Hang also came over.

So in addition to digging yam, the three of them often got together to discuss medical cases and pharmacology.

After some contact, Yun Fuling's impression of Ding Mingrui also changed a little.

No wonder this kid looked so arrogant before, there really is something up his sleeve.

He has his own unique insights in taking pulses and prescribing medicines, and occasionally the prescriptions he writes are even more exquisite than Yun Fuling's.

It's just that I'm still young, lack sufficient experience, and don't consider the symptoms comprehensively enough.

As for Shopkeeper Hang, although he did not know how to diagnose pulses or prescribe medicine, he was familiar with the medicinal properties and effects of various herbs and could talk about them at will.

After the exchange, Yun Fuling felt that she had learned a lot.

There is a saying that is really true: among three people walking together, there must be one who can be my teacher!

Ding Mingrui and Manager Hang had the same feeling.

All three of them felt happy that they had learned something.

But Yun Shanhu was not so happy.

Because the villagers insisted on staying for two days to dig yam, Yun Shanhu was forced to stay with them.

She was annoyed at the thought of having to stay in the mountains for two more days.

What made her even more annoyed was that her cousin had been trying to get close to Yun Fuling for some reason these past two days.

The two of them were talking and laughing.

But when Yun Shanhu asked, Ding Mingrui said that he was just discussing medical skills with Madam Yun.

Yun Shanhu really felt that everything was not going well for her.

In fact, she didn't really like Ding Mingrui that much, she just thought he was good-looking and liked his face.

Moreover, with her family background, and the help of her sister's marriage to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, her marriage in the future will definitely not be too bad.

At the very least, she was going to marry into a noble family. Even because of her eldest elder sister who had passed away, the royal family might consider it.

Ding Mingrui is not worthy of her at all!

Yun Shanhu had never thought of marrying Ding Mingrui.

It's just that she has been spoiled since she was a child and really likes the feeling of being the center of attention.

She hopes to be the focus of the crowd and always be followed by people's eyes.

Everybody was surrounding her.

She enjoyed that feeling.

But now Ding Mingrui's gaze was no longer on her, but was attracted by Yun Fuling.

Yun Shanhu suddenly felt betrayed.

Once she likes something, even if she no longer likes it, she will never allow others to take it away from her!

A trace of resentment flashed in Yun Shanhu's eyes.

Dare to compete with her?

She will let Yun Fuling know how miserable the consequences will be for going against her!

Two days later, the villagers dug enough yams and finally set out again.

This time, everyone carried a heavy basket filled with yam.

Everyone would rather walk slower and bring more yams.

We walked until it was almost dark, then we stopped and looked for a place to spend the night.

The dusk is getting thicker and the night is getting darker.

After dinner, the villagers went to bed.

After all, we have to set off early tomorrow morning, and we have to travel while the weather is not hot in the morning.

In the thick night, snoring gradually began to be heard in the camp.

Seeing that most of the villagers were asleep, Xiao Jingyi wrapped himself tightly and leaned against a tree stump to rest.

Unexpectedly, just as he closed his eyes, he suddenly heard two cuckoo calls.

He immediately stood up and left the camp quietly.

Xiao Jingyi walked until he was far away from the camp and would not be seen by anyone before stopping.

As soon as he stopped, two figures appeared behind him like ghosts and knelt down.

"Your subordinate Tianji greets the master!"

"Your subordinate Tianquan kowtows to the master!"

These two are the most trusted secret guards around Xiao Jingyi. There are seven of them in total, and they are named after the seven stars of the Big Dipper.

Xiao Jingyi raised his hand, "Get up."

"How many casualties did we suffer in this attack?"

Tianji, who was slightly taller, replied, "My Lord, the accompanying guards were almost all killed or wounded, and Tianshu and Tianxuan were seriously injured."

A hint of coldness flashed across Xiao Jingyi's eyes, "You're going to such great lengths to deal with me. You're really ruthless!"

"I just don't know who is behind this?"

Those who attacked them were all dressed like northern barbarians and used northern barbarian scimitars.

The intention was to make this a revenge case for the Northern Barbarians and put the blame on them.

But Xiao Jingyi is not stupid, and is not so easily fooled.

He has been guarding the northern border for the past few years, defeating the northern barbarians step by step. The northern barbarians really hate him to the core.

When he was in the northern border, some northern barbarians sneaked into the border town and tried to assassinate him.

But this is Jiangzhou.

From the northern border to Jiangzhou, there are layers of checkpoints guarding the entire way. How did the northern barbarians get in?

Even if he had a way to sneak in, it would be impossible for those northern barbarians to not disguise themselves. Instead, they would wear northern barbarian costumes, hold northern barbarian scimitars, and kill him openly.

It is obvious that the person behind this is using the guise of the Northern Barbarians to divert trouble to others and confuse the public.

Xiao Jingyi continued to ask: "What's the situation outside now?"
