Chapter 289: 1 Must Save Us
After listening to Zhao Xiaogang's words, everyone present couldn't help but nod their heads frequently to express their agreement and approval.
Xie Xiaogang quickly took out a fourth-grade spirit-gathering pill that emitted a faint spiritual light from his arms, and put it into his mouth without hesitation, chewing and swallowing it.
In an instant, a powerful and pure medicinal power surged through his body. Wherever it passed, the originally sluggish meridians and blood were instantly stimulated.
In just a moment, Xie Xiaogang felt as if he had been reborn and was back to his peak condition.
The others followed suit, quickly taking out the pills they had with them and swallowing them.
For a moment, the strange medicinal fragrance emitted by various elixirs filled the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Not long after, the injuries of these people were greatly relieved and healed under the magical effect of the elixir, and they stood up again one by one.
However, it is regrettable that this cruel and fierce war ultimately took away a life mercilessly.
One of the guards was seriously injured and failed to receive effective treatment in time, so he eventually succumbed to the disease and closed his eyes forever.
Looking at that face that was once so familiar but now lifeless, it just lay there quietly, gradually becoming cold and stiff.
Everyone felt as if an extremely heavy rock was pressing down on their hearts, and their faces were filled with unconcealable sadness.
Especially Xie Dahahua, the feeling of self-blame in her heart kept surging in her heart.
"Deputy Guard, this cement road has been completely built. Their carriages should be able to carry the goods that Madam Fang wants. You can escort the goods back to the village.
"After returning to the village, you must make every effort to properly dispose of Brother Xiaohu's remains, and also send a generous and sufficient pension to his family!" Xie Xiaogang solemnly ordered the deputy chief of guards beside him.
Upon hearing this, the deputy guard anxiously asked, "Captain, what about you?"
At this moment, Xie Xiaogang's eyes were filled with determination as he replied, "I will go to the capital alone to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"How can this be, Captain? It's too dangerous for you to be alone!" Several guards couldn't help but shout in unison.
However, in the face of everyone's concerns and dissuasion, Xie Xiaogang simply explained calmly:
"I must report this matter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person. Only in this way can I ensure that the information is conveyed to him accurately.
Besides, if so many of us act together, we'll become too big a target and will attract unnecessary attention and trouble."
Although Xie Xiaogang's words were well-reasoned, the guards were still worried and wanted to continue persuading him.
But Xie Xiaogang waved his hand decisively, signaling everyone not to say anything more.
Xie Dahahua walked over slowly and handed a heavy bag to Xie Xiaogang.
After Xie Xiaogang took it and opened it, he found that it was filled with dry food, travel money and several bottles of precious elixirs for healing.
Seeing these things, Xie Xiaogang couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart.
Shopkeeper Chen, who had been standing aside thoughtfully, suddenly said:
"How about letting me go with Guard Commander Xie? I'm quite familiar with the capital, and my cultivation level is slightly higher than the others. With me by his side, I can at least take care of Guard Commander Xie."
Chen Liangxian wanted to go along, but was stopped by Shopkeeper Chen: "Young Master, your identity is quite sensitive, and our mission is arduous. It is best for you to stay in Xiejia Village and practice."
Chen Liangxian could only nod in agreement. It was difficult to add double risks to save people this time.
Afterwards, Xie Xiaogang and Manager Chen set out on the road to the capital.
Xie Dahua looked at Xie Xiaogang and Shopkeeper Chen who were about to leave, her eyes gradually reddened, and she said in a choked voice:
"The journey to the capital is long and full of dangers. You must be extremely careful..."
However, Wang Xinyao knew nothing about the series of events that happened far away in Nanhu County.
On this day, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently. Wang Xinyao was busy shuttling around a clinic, conducting free medical consultations.
With her skillful techniques and focused expression, she carefully diagnoses the condition of every patient who comes to see her and gives corresponding treatment recommendations.
The owner of the clinic standing by looked at the endless stream of people and his face was filled with joy.
Although this is a free clinic, medical treatment always requires medication. As a result, the business of his own pharmacy naturally became prosperous.
Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was already afternoon.
At this time, Wang Xinyao had just finished seeing the last patient and was preparing to pack up and return to the manor to rest.
But at this moment, a slight sound of footsteps came from the door, and then three figures slowly stepped into the pharmacy.
These three people seemed a little different. They all had their faces tightly wrapped with silk scarves and wore a thin veil on their heads, wrapping their entire bodies tightly with only a pair of eyes exposed.
Not only that, their eyes also seemed to be flickering, looking left and right, as if they were very afraid of being discovered by others.
Wang Xinyao keenly noticed the strangeness of these three people, and couldn't help but think in her heart: Looking at their appearance, they must have some unspeakable difficulties, right?
So she turned around and called the drugstore owner, whispering, "Go and arrange a private room quickly. Don't let anyone disturb you."
The shopkeeper understood and quickly did as he was told.
After everything was arranged, there was no one else around.
At this moment, the three women suddenly knelt down in front of Wang Xinyao and pleaded in unison, "Doctor Wang, please have mercy on us and save us!"
After they finished speaking, the three people slowly reached out to remove the veils covering their faces. In an instant, three extremely beautiful and exquisite faces were revealed.
"Oh, three sisters, please stand up quickly. There's no need to be so polite!" Seeing this, Xinyao hurriedly walked forward and stretched out her hands to hold up Lin Shiyi and the other three.
After everyone was seated, Wang Xinyao began to take their pulses one by one. The first person to take their pulses was Liu Yu.
"Sister, are you hurt?" Wang Xinyao asked softly, her face full of confusion.
Because although the three women in front of him deliberately covered themselves with clothes, it was obvious from the value of their clothes. Logically speaking, such precious people should live a life of luxury and should not have any scars.
However, in response to Wang Xinyao's question, Liu Yu did not answer, but tears kept welling up in her eyes.
