The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

Wang Xinyao from Xiejia Village? Ghost Introducer pondered for a moment. It seemed she had to go to Xiejia Village. She gave the pill to the Third Wife and then turned and left.

After a long and arduous journey, the soldiers escorting the supplies finally arrived at the foot of Mount Dataier.

The soldiers were already exhausted after the long march. When they saw the flat ground where they could take a rest, they all sat down with a sense of relief.

Some people leaned against tree trunks, breathing heavily; some people lay directly on the grass, without even the strength to move a finger. However, in this brief moment of peace, danger quietly arrived.

Suddenly, rows of sharp arrows whizzed out from the mountains and forests like raindrops.

These arrows, accompanied by sharp whistles, were precisely fired at the unsuspecting soldiers. Screams rang out, and many soldiers fell before they could even react, their blood staining the ground beneath them.

Then, accompanied by a deafening roar, countless bandits rushed down from the mountain like a surging tide, holding various weapons, with ferocious expressions on their faces and menacing momentum.

Faced with the sudden attack, the soldiers fell into chaos. Some people hastily picked up weapons to try to resist, but due to being too tired and panicked, their movements were very clumsy.

The bandits took advantage of the situation and launched a fierce attack, brandishing swords, spears and other weapons, killing the soldiers mercilessly. For a moment, the battlefield was covered with blood and flesh, and wailing was everywhere.

Before long, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties and were almost unable to organize an effective defense.

Only a few stronger soldiers took advantage of the chaos, fought their way out of the encirclement, and fled in panic.

The supplies were robbed and fell into the hands of the bandits. Just as the bandits were happily escorting the supplies to the middle of the mountain, a group of mysterious men in black suddenly appeared!

The men in black all had great skills, and killing the bandits was as easy as cutting carrots in front of them.

The battle ended quickly, and soon all the supplies disappeared. Datar Mountain returned to its former tranquility, as if nothing had happened.

The news of the looting quickly reached the palace, and the emperor, enraged, ordered a thorough investigation. He also urgently summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures.

In the court, ministers made suggestions one after another. Some advocated sending elite troops to encircle and suppress the bandits, while others proposed to raise more supplies...

The emperor frowned, thinking to himself: Suppressing the bandits and collecting supplies will both take a lot of time and energy. If the bandits are not eliminated, the supplies are still in danger of being looted!

The distance between the capital and Taier Mountain is long. If we send troops, I wonder if the people of Nanhe County can bear the delay in going back and forth?

Thinking of this, Zhao Guoan made a quick decision and issued an imperial decree: "Send a pigeon to Zhou Yunxi quickly, appointing him as the general who suppresses bandits. Recruit soldiers in Nanhu County, numbering around 50,000. Immediately send troops to encircle Taierzhuang and recapture the food and other supplies!"

Nanhu County at this time was like a dark night shrouded by illness. Although Wang Xinyao's medicine was holding on, the disease kept recurring and was unpredictable.

I thought I had defeated the disease yesterday, but it came back like a demon the next day. The fever symptoms made Wang Xinyao feel confused.

However, this situation is completely different from that in Xiejia Village. As far as she knows, there has not been a single new case of infection among the people in Xiejia Village since they used her medicine!

Wang Xinyao has not returned to Xiejia Village for five days, but the medicinal herbs from Xiejia Village are delivered on time every day.

Unfortunately, with so many patients, medicinal herbs are always in short supply.

As the plague raged, food became scarce in the city, and the tense situation cast a gloomy shadow over everyone's face.

In desperation, Wang Xinyao had to arrange for people to allocate some grain from Xiejia Village and send it to Nanhu County.

Early that morning, Wang Xinyao was anxiously waiting for the arrival of the herbs at the gate of the county government office.

Just then, Zhao Haoxuan and Xu Ping and other guards came over with a large amount of medicinal herbs.

"Brother Zhao, why did you come here in person?" There was a hint of surprise and worry in Wang Xinyao's voice.

Zhao Haoxuan stared at the exhausted girl in front of him, his heart filled with distress. He asked with concern, "You haven't been home for many days, I'm really worried!"

Just at this moment, Zhou Yunxi, who had just received the imperial edict, ran over hurriedly like an ant on a hot pan.

His face was filled with anxiety, and he said to Wang Xinyao, "Miss Wang, this is bad! The supplies have been robbed by bandits!"

At this moment, his eyes fell on Zhao Haoxuan and his group: "Miss Wang, who are they?"

But in an instant, he stood there like a piece of wood struck by lightning. A look of surprise flashed across his face, and he stammered, "Lord, Lord..."

Zhao Haoxuan quickly waved to him, and he took out a lot of herbs from the storage bag and ordered the guards to boil the medicine in an orderly manner.

Then, he whispered to Zhou Yunxi, "Let's go to your room and talk!"

Zhou Yunxi woke up as if from a dream and hurried to lead the way.

Afterwards, Zhao Haoxuan, Xu Ping, and Wang Xinyao entered the room. Zhou Yunxi ordered his personal guards to guard the room and strictly forbid anyone from stepping into the room.

As soon as Zhao Haoxuan sat down, Zhou Yunxi immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Crown Prince!"

"Please stand up quickly. You have been working hard recently! Tell me what exactly happened with the supplies being robbed?" Zhao Haoxuan asked impatiently.

Zhou Yunxi did not dare to delay and hurriedly recounted the contents of the imperial edict in detail.

Zhao Haoxuan thought for a moment and said, "Although having our supplies robbed is an ominous sign, it's a good opportunity for us to secretly build our own army!"

"Xu Ping, listen to my orders! I order you to lead half of the guards to assist General Zhou in suppressing the bandits. The other half, still under the command of Ye Fan, will gather medicinal herbs in the mountains!"

"As you command, I obey!" Zhou Yunxi and Xu Ping immediately bowed and saluted. Then, they turned to look at Wang Xinyao and said, "Greetings, Madam!"

This action made Wang Xinyao blush with shame!

At this moment, Zhao Haoxuan gazed at Wang Xinyao tenderly, and then said, "Xinyao, how is the plague situation in the county?"

Wang Xinyao told Zhao Haoxuan about her doubts.

After Zhao Haoxuan pondered for a moment, he said, "Xinyao, your medicine is perfectly fine. No one in Xiejia Village has been infected! Think carefully about it. Is there anything you've overlooked? For example, food and beverages!"

After hearing this, Wang Xinyao tried hard to recall every detail of the treatment process, and suddenly she thought of something!

She said with a hint of doubt: "This may not be the plague, but a poison similar to the plague. Even if it is cured, will it be poisoned again the next day?"
