The refugees being held in custody around them also panicked when they heard the military doctor calling out his name. It was a panic as if their faith had collapsed. Some of them even ignored their fear and grabbed the hands of the soldiers around them and asked, "Who is that old man?"

"Is it the Grand Minister of Agriculture?"

"Is it really the Grand Minister of Agriculture?"

…………

"Be honest, military doctors never tell lies." Just as the soldier finished speaking, he heard a loud slap.

Among the refugees, there was a middle-aged man holding the old man's clothes and slapped himself hard.

"I deserve to die! I deserve to die! I don't deserve to live in this world!" After the middle-aged man said this, he was about to hit the tree, but was stopped in time by the soldier guarding on the side.

But soon, the group of refugees became chaotic. They kowtowed desperately in the direction of the old man and refused to stop even when their heads were broken and bleeding.

"I am guilty! I am guilty!!" If there is no good person in the entire Daqing Dynasty, the Grand Minister of Agriculture must be the only good person in the eyes of the people.

Because since he took office, he has not only been committed to ensuring food and clothing for the people, thinking day and night about ways to increase grain production, but also, every time a disaster occurred, he personally traveled all over the country, to farmlands, and to mountains and forests to find solutions.

During the decades he was in office, he not only successfully grew two crops of rice in the south, but also found a variety of crops such as sweet potatoes, allowing countless people to have enough food. This year, because drought came again and there was no grain harvest in the north, he once again took his aging body into the mountains and walked among the refugees, helping many refugees who should have starved to death find food to fill their stomachs.

However, this old man, who was like a "god" believed by the common people and refugees, almost died at their hands.

The refugees cried bitterly out of regret, even the ignorant teenagers were in tears, but the old man's condition did not improve because of their repentance.

The military doctor had already used top-quality ginseng to prolong his life. The army did not deal with these refugees. After preventing one refugee from committing suicide, they immediately rushed the old man to Wancheng at full speed.

On the streets of Wancheng, Xu Ning had the rare urge to go out, but before she had walked on the street for a while, she and Xu Feng were separated by the sudden appearance of the army.

"Hello player, there is a triggered quest, do you want to do it?" Xu Ning tiptoed to look for someone, and saw a carriage speeding past, and at the same time, the treasure chest in his mind suddenly spoke.

"What mission?"

"Save the Grand Minister of Agriculture."

"The person in the carriage just now?"

"Yes, player. This Grand Minister of Agriculture is in imminent danger. If you save him, your mission progress can be increased by ten."

"Not that much?" Xu Ning, who was about to say that he had no medical skills, abruptly changed the subject.

Xu Ning was confused. When she first came here, how long did it take her to reach 10% of the task? Now she was told that she could reach the goal by saving one person?

"Hurry up, tell me where the carriage is! I'll be there right away!" Xu Ning lifted her skirt and ran towards the inn, thinking about how to persuade Jiang Yan to take action while thinking about the names of those life-saving miracle drugs in later generations.

"Miss, it's your uncle." Xu Ning ran back to the door of the inn room panting, and heard Liu Li, who had just returned from gathering information, reporting to Pei Jiao!

"Uncle?" Pei Jiao stood up excitedly after hearing the news. Xu Ning pushed the door open with a "bang", and their eyes met for a moment.

"Hello, Uncle! Sister Pei! Let's go! Let's go see Uncle!" The excitement on Xu Ning's face was no less than Pei Jiao's. She was excited that she didn't have to look for Jiang Yan at all, Pei Jiao could take her there.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Pei Jiao believes in her! This means that the medicine can definitely be taken away!

Her 10% progress is on track!
