Ji Yunshuang was frowning as she listened to the report from her subordinates.

After gaining control of the military forces in Ningxing Prefecture, she sent some people out to search for Prince Duan and the witch, while the rest went to Ningcheng to take charge of the overall situation.

Most of the houses in Ningcheng were burned down, and countless people died or were injured.

After Prince Duan disappeared that night, there was no news of him, and many people speculated that he had died in the fire.

Officials were filled with anxiety, and some began to look for new ways out for the sake of their future.

Some people seized this opportunity to seize power, plunging Ningcheng into chaos.

However, officials who genuinely care about the people and help them are few and far between.

She first arranged for people to maintain order, then requisitioned grain, herbs, doctors, etc., and set up soup kitchens and free clinics outside Ningcheng.

Although the optimal rescue period had passed, Ji Yunshuang's actions still saved many lives and earned her a high reputation among the people.

Some villagers even recognized her and told people that he was trapped in the house and pinned down by a fallen beam. His family had abandoned him and fled, but Ji Yunshuang appeared and saved him.

She not only saved him, but also many other people, and gave Ji Yunshuang the title of Fairy Bodhisattva.

Of course, some people don't believe it.

I don't think she, a woman, could possibly save so many people from such a huge fire all by herself.

They felt that those people were all specially arranged by Ji Yunshuang in order to win people's hearts.

Nowadays, many ordinary people are unaware of what has happened.

However, some families with some influence know that the military power in Ningxing Prefecture has quietly changed hands.

Now, Ningxing Prefecture has changed dramatically.

However, Ji Yunshuang didn't care much about what these people thought. Instead, she was thinking about what exactly was going on with Prince Duan.

What did that priestess seek?

Judging from her previous actions, she thought she was seeking power, which is why she specifically targeted several vassal kings.

But now, Ningcheng is in chaos, which should be a good time for her to make a move, so why hasn't she taken any further action?

Was she wrong from the start? Or was the other party's method more sophisticated?

Unable to come up with a solution immediately, she could only instruct her subordinates to continue monitoring the situation.

After making the arrangements, she remembered something else and asked, "Did you all follow my instructions to arrange for people to burn and bury all the corpses in the city and then spread lime to disinfect the city?"

Grandpa Xu said, "Everything has been done as you requested. Now, all the corpses in the city have been disposed of and disinfected with lime. We can now arrange for people to rebuild Ningcheng."

The Xu family originally planned to go to Jiangzhou to seek refuge with Prince Rui, but Ningcheng was destroyed by fire and Prince Hou went missing, leaving no one in the city to take charge.

After much hesitation, Mr. Xu decided to stay and help the refugees as much as he could.

After Ji Yunshuang gained control of the military, she began to heavily rely on the Xu family.

She then entrusted the reconstruction of Ningcheng to him.

Ji Yunshuang handed him the pre-prepared planning map and said, "Rebuild according to the blueprints. If you have any questions, come and ask me."

This is what she drew in her spare time these days.

It incorporates many features of modern cities, such as a unified sewer system, diverse functional areas, and abundant public facilities.

Such a construction method had never appeared before in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After receiving the blueprints, Grandpa Xu indeed couldn't understand many parts, so Ji Yunshuang explained the small waterways and other details to him.

Grandpa Xu's eyes widened in shock. "Houses can actually be built like this?"

Ji Yunshuang said, "Let's give it a try. I think it'll be fine."

As the two were talking, Wei Shen rushed in and said, "Master, something bad has happened. News has come that a large number of villagers are experiencing high fever and cough symptoms, and it is suspected to be a plague."

"How could this be?" Old Master Xu exclaimed in surprise. "I followed the instructions of the adults and disposed of the corpses in the city properly. How could there still be an epidemic?"

“Perhaps it’s not an epidemic.” Ji Yunshuang stood up and said to Wei Shen, “What places are these? Take me to see them.”

Wei Shen said, "The riots are currently occurring in Guangping County. I heard that some villagers have killed several people in an attempt to drive away those who are sick. In addition, I heard that many people in Yaoguang County have also fallen ill."

Ji Yunshuang said, "Let's go, call some people, and head to Guangping County first."

After saying that, she said to Grandpa Xu, "We'll talk about rebuilding Ningcheng when I get back. Keep an eye on the refugee camps and see if anyone with the same symptoms appears."

Grandpa Xu bowed and agreed.

He was now fully aware of Ji Yunshuang's position in the army. However, in his opinion, given Ji Yunshuang's abilities, holding the rank of brigade commander was beneath her.

She is not only exceptionally talented and capable, but also broad-minded.

He is far superior to the Prince Duan to whom he previously served.

He had genuine faith in Ji Yunshuang. He immediately took his men to see Doctor Rui and asked if he had noticed anything unusual while treating patients these past few days. He mentioned that a plague might have been discovered in Guangning County, and that Ji Yunshuang had led a group to investigate.

When the fire broke out, Rui Bingtian and his disciples fled Ningcheng in haste.

He didn't begin searching for the other people in the Prince Duan's residence until the fire was extinguished the next day.

Later, he found some servants and guards from the Prince's mansion, but he still couldn't find you, Your Highness.

Seeing the devastation and injuries left behind by the fire, he didn't go looking for Prince Duan. Instead, he took his medicine kit and treated the wounded to the best of his ability.

Later, they met Grandpa Xu, and the two worked together to help refugees.

When Ji Yunshuang took control of the military power in Ningxing Prefecture and came to Ningcheng to take charge of the overall situation, Rui Bingtian was very dissatisfied.

I think she was also fighting for power.

It wasn't until Ji Yunshuang later personally funded the gathering of a large number of doctors to treat the refugees that things changed.

He also brought out many medicines that he had never seen before but were extremely effective. Only after he realized that he was truly thinking of the refugees did Rui Bingtian lower his guard and join the team treating the refugees.

Then she discovered that the lady-in-waiting seemed to know medicine, and that many of her arrangements were meaningful.

Later, after hearing many patients recount how Ji Yunshuang saved them during the fire, his initial distrust and wariness of Ji Yunshuang transformed into genuine admiration.

Upon hearing Grandpa Xu's words, Rui Bingtian immediately asked anxiously, "The master just left like that? Without taking any other doctors?"

"I didn't bring a doctor," said Grandpa Xu. "I brought my personal guards."

"How can we manage without a doctor?" Rui Bingtian hurriedly packed his medicine kit. "When did you leave, sir? I'll go too."

Grandpa Xu really didn't expect Rui Bingtian to be so excited after learning that Ji Yunshuang had gone to a county where there was a possible plague outbreak.

He remembered that this Doctor Rui had always been disrespectful to Lord Ji, never daring to look at him with disdain.

Moreover, he used to be the physician of the Prince Duan's mansion, specializing in treating the Prince Duan, while Ji Yunshuang now controls the military forces of the entire Ningxing Prefecture, and her status is similar to that of the former Prince Duan.

He thought he had no good feelings towards Ji Yunshuang, but he didn't expect that he would be so anxious when he heard that Ji Yunshuang had gone to a dangerous place.
