Bai Wanwan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I also want to do my part, so I plan to follow Brother Si Nian to the Western Territory this time."

Gu Sinian's face darkened slightly as he said, "Wanwan, don't be willful. The situation in the Western Territory is unclear right now."

Bai Wanwan looked at him and said, "I am also a citizen of Da Qi, so I naturally have obligations."

Qi Guangheng looked at Bai Wanwan and said, "If you want to go, then go with me! But everyone must be careful."

Bai Wanwan was extremely happy. Ever since she came to Bian Jing, she felt like she was being restrained.

Su Daji's lips curled up slightly. This was a good opportunity to catch them all in one swoop.

There was a fireworks show in the evening. Bai Wanwan lay on the roof and watched the fireworks bloom.

Gu Sinian flew onto the roof and said:

"You are still so reckless in doing things. As a girl, you have to do such dangerous things.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to take care of you then.”

Bai Wanwan looked at him and said:

"Why do I need you to take care of me? I just think you might not be able to handle something like a flood well.

I'll also look at the geography of the western border and see if I can find a way to completely eradicate this flood."

The counselor wearing a square scarf beside Gu Sinian came over and said in a low voice:

"Your Highness, this matter is probably not that simple. We sent people to check out the terrain of the southern border a while ago.

The surrounding area is either mountainous or an old river channel. The river channel is very narrow, with earth slopes on both sides. If we want to find a place to dig and release the floodwater, there is no place to start."

He paused, frowning:

"Besides, the water level is getting higher and higher day by day, and it's raining a lot upstream, so the river water can't recede at all.

In my opinion, it's difficult to completely eradicate this flood. What we can do now is to move the refugees to higher ground to keep them safe.

We'll have to find a way to plug the gap, but as for the future, I'm afraid we'll have to endure it slowly."

Gu Sinian said, "Then let's set off tonight. The earlier we go, the more lives we can save."

Mrs. Bai was sorting through her laundry, a thicker jacket in her hand, as she stuffed it into the bottom of the box. She sighed, "Child, you've only been home for a few days, resting for only three or five days. You haven't even found your feet yet, and why are you going out again?"

She reached out to tidy up Bai Wanwan's temples, her eyes a little red:

"The flood in the southern border was so severe, the newspapers were reporting that roads were blocked and houses collapsed. It was so dangerous!

If a girl like you goes there, your family will be worried.

What if I get hurt or get sick? "

Bai Wanwan stood up, took her hand and smiled: "Grandma, don't worry, I'm not going to block the dam, I'm doing logistics with the medical team!"

She pointed to several wooden boxes stacked nearby:

"Look, there are medicinal herbs here, some for treating colds.

There are also a lot of powders and herbs for epidemic prevention. When I go there, I help to make medicine and distribute supplies, and I don’t go to the front line.

The flood is so serious, and there is a shortage of medical care and medicine over there. I can always help by lending a hand.

I'll try to go back as quickly as possible, because the water won't recede anytime soon, and I don't know how long it will stay there."

Madam Bai sighed and said, "You have a lot of ideas, and I can't say anything, but you have to bring more people, including those from the musketeers."

As soon as Bai Wanwan left the house, her family began to worry. Bai Wanwan said helplessly, "Grandma, don't worry! I can protect myself. I have so many animals around me!"

Bai Qiaoniang prepared a lot of food:

"These instant noodles are enough to last you for a long time, and the water there is definitely not clean.

I also prepared a lot of clean water and filled the water bag."

Bai Wanwan was stunned when she opened the curtain: "She's really my dear mother. She brought two carts of food..."

Bai Qiaoniang looked at her and said, "When you get there, remember to write! We don't know how long you'll be gone, we'll all be waiting for you at home!"

Bai Wanwan nodded and looked at Nanny Zheng beside her and said, "Nanny Zheng, why don't you stay at home? I have so many people around me..."

Madam Zheng coughed and said, "Miss, do you think I'm too old?"

"No, no, I just think that when you're out and about, having fun is the most important thing. It's too tiring to have so many rules every day."

How could Madam Zheng not know her little thoughts?

"Then when you go out, you have to practice those rules every day. If you come back and are not familiar with these rules, you will be punished?" said Nanny Zheng.

Bai Wanwan nodded quickly. Madam Zheng looked at the dozen or so maids around her and said:

"You too, protect the master and learn the rules.

Otherwise, you will be embarrassing your master if you go out, understand?"

"I know, I know." There were more and more maids around Bai Wanwan, all of whom were the best ones selected from the mountain village.

These people are very good at martial arts, and each of them has his own specialties.

When Bai Wanwan got into the carriage, Miao He couldn't help but say, "Madame Zheng is getting more and more powerful. I get scared every time I see her."

Bai Wanwan looked at her and said, "Madame Zheng is doing this for our own good. Look, even if we go out, we'll be no worse than those girls from wealthy families."

Zhiwei nodded and said:

"That's true. Madam Zheng has put a lot of thought into it. We all need to learn from her.

Miss, are we really planning to go to disaster relief this time?"

Bai Wanwan nodded and said, "Of course we have to go to the disaster relief. The geographical location of the southern border is very good. If the flood is dealt with, this area will have great potential."

She was not only going to provide disaster relief, but also planned to take over some farms. This was not considered making money from the national disaster.

Because some farms had suffered disasters this year and were simply unable to survive, she used to be able to buy a large number of farms and rent them out to those farmers.

Because the matter was urgent, Gu Sinian took a group of people and left first. At the beginning, Bai Wanwan was quite comfortable, sitting on the boat and looking at the scenery along the way.

But after a few days, something was wrong. Bai Wanwan was riding her own boat, which looked inconspicuous from the outside.

The hull was a dark, old wood color, revealing the darker wood grain inside, as if it had been hauling heavy cargo for years and had not been properly cared for.

The sail hanging on the mast was old and gray, with several patches on the edges. It rustled in the wind, and looked just like an old ship used to transport grain and firewood along the coast.

It is also because of this that no one pays much attention when passing by reed marshes and narrow waterways where bandits may be hiding.

But once you get inside the cabin, it’s a completely different story.

Stepping over from the springboard, my feet first stepped on the Persian carpet on the ground.

The carpet was so thick that you could sink half a foot into it. There was gold thread woven into the dark pattern and it stretched all the way from the aisle to the inner room.

She often sat on the soft couch by the window, which was covered with a white fox fur mattress.

Next to it stood a small nanmu table, on which stood a silver incense burner for warming tea. The teacup was from the Ru kiln, with fine lines on a light green background.

The window lattice is a hollow lattice covered with translucent mica paper. The light of water and wind outside shines through and falls on the pages of the book, adding a sense of tranquility.
