"Xi'er and the General, don't worry. Xi'er's dream wouldn't be without reason. Since it was the Fairy Auntie who guided us to search, there must be great hope. As long as the people we send out do their best to search, the Second General shouldn't be in any danger."

Seeing that the two people in front of him had sad faces, Xu Zize calmed himself down and felt that this must be the case.

His comfort and encouragement seemed to light a bright lamp in the darkness. Jing Chunxi's eyes finally lit up, and a light appeared in them. A glimmer of determination flashed in her eyes, as if she had found hope again.

She lifted the quilt and sat up suddenly, with a hint of urgency in her movements, and she was determined to win.

Jing Chunxi took out all the life-saving medicines and items he could think of, such as gold wound medicine, hemostatic powder, activating pills, anti-inflammatory drugs, Rongyang pills, alcohol, bandages... There were quite a few of each kind, and they filled up the bed in an instant.

As she placed the medicines, she said, "Uncle, take them to them. They will definitely be needed to save Uncle Two."

She took out a few square pieces of coarse cotton cloth from the space, and then looked at Xu Zize.

Guessing what she meant, Xu Zize also sat on the edge of the bed and sorted the medicines with her, filling two bags in no time.

While helping, he said, "Xi'er, entering the heart of another country can easily lead to danger. Bring them more sleeping pills and poisons."

This reminder was very timely, and the things were very necessary. She took out the drugs and poison from the space again, and packed up another package.

"Uncle, it's better to hide the banknotes separately!" Jing Chunxi took out banknotes of small denominations such as twenty, fifty, and one hundred, but the largest wooden box was filled to the brim.

Jing Changjiang nodded, indicating that he understood, and secretly admired his niece's thoughtfulness. Sending so many people so far away might not bring them back for a year or two. Just feeding them would cost a lot of money, not to mention the expenses along the way.

"Don't worry, my uncle asked General Su to bring a few of the most capable captains and two hundred people to divide into four or five caravans to search several small countries. No corner will be missed." Jing Changjiang said, his voice was very firm, and he was ready.

General Su and his capable generals have rich experience and capabilities. He believes that they will be able to complete this mission and rescue Jing Changhe.

He had thought about how to rescue his second brother before, and felt that it would be a waste to leave General Su and his most capable generals here to pan for gold. Only in the north could they soar in the sky and ride in paradise.

Therefore, they should go back. Only by going back can they rescue Jing Changhe and spy on the enemy situation over there.

……

In the end, Jing Chunxi didn't even taste a single bite of the dozen or so baskets of seafood he brought back.

She had carefully selected these seafoods. In addition to giving them to everyone, she also wanted to try some herself. However, due to her poor health, her uncle ordered her to rest and her food intake was strictly restricted.

For three whole days, she could only drink meat porridge, bone porridge, and the nutritious chicken and duck soups. Although these foods were nutritious, they would inevitably make people feel sick if they ate too much.

When he was finally allowed to go out, Jing Chunxi rushed out of the room impatiently as if he had escaped from a cage, his face filled with long-lost freedom and excitement.

"If my uncle doesn't let me go out, I'm going to get moldy." She ran around as soon as she got out of the door, complaining to Chuntao and Hongfen.

Seeing the young lady's excitement, they couldn't help but laugh. Jing Chunxi felt his legs were a little stiff from sleeping every day. He couldn't help but move his ankles a few times and took a deep breath of the fresh air outside. He felt much more energetic.

They walked slowly along the path through the village. The road, once occupied by tents, was now empty, as if so many people had never camped in the village before.

The tents in the courtyards we passed by had all but vanished, but there were still many bamboo poles with grown men's clothes drying on them, and most of the houses were still inhabited.

Jing Chunxi asked curiously, "Have all the people gone up the mountain?"

Chun Tao nodded and replied, "Yes! On the day the young lady woke up, the latest group of soldiers also went up the mountain. Now everyone living in the village is said to be following the prince's orders.

They originally said they were going up the mountain to tap rubber, but they never came back, saying the soldiers would live in the mountains from now on.”

"How can there be so many trees to cut? With so many people here, are they all going to stay on the mountain?" Hongfen complained, but Chuntao retorted, "You still want them to come down the mountain? If they do, we'll probably have to live in tents too!"

"I don't want them to come down," Hongfen said unhappily. "Some soldiers always like to peek into our yard when they pass by, and laugh when they see people. It's weird."

Chun Tao continued, "Miss, you don't know, it seems much more comfortable after they left. Otherwise, there would be people everywhere and you couldn't even get water to take a shower at night.

The general and the prince told us not to leave the courtyard and to go to the kitchen to get food. Fortunately, Xiaoman and Chuyi were there, otherwise we would have starved to death."

Chun Tao's words made Jing Chunxi burst into laughter, knowing that his uncle and Xu Zize were both thinking about them. After all, soldiers stationed outside for a long time would usually want to get close to a sow, and now that they finally got to see a few girls, it was normal and understandable to take a few more glances, and it wasn't a violation of military discipline.

She couldn't help but teasing, "Who told you to be so pretty? The general and the prince are worried that some soldier will take a fancy to you and then stay and refuse to leave, and then I will have one less person to serve me." After saying that, Jing Chunxi glanced at the older Chuntao with a hint of teasing.

Chuntao's face turned slightly red, and she said a little embarrassedly: "Miss, please don't match me up with others randomly. I have decided to follow you for the rest of my life. Wherever you go, I will go." But when she thought about it, she knew that the young lady was teasing her, and she smiled again.

"I won't marry. I'll stay with the young lady in Qingshan Manor for the rest of my life." Hongfen hadn't paid attention to the exchange between the master and servant, but she was frightened by Chuntao's words. She thought the young lady was really going to arrange a marriage for them here, so she quickly added, "I won't stay here even if you kill me."

She raised her head and glanced at Jing Chunxi secretly, then muttered softly, "I'm not old enough yet!" Her tone and expression showed that she was really reluctant.

Seeing Hongfen's look, Jing Chunxi couldn't help laughing and said, "If you really want to stay here, I won't let you go! My maid will marry in the capital and become the mistress of a family. If you all stay in this mountain, who will I find to vent my boredom on in the future?" As she spoke, she gently patted Hongfen's shoulder, as if to comfort her, but also as if to tease her.
