The two walked out of the tent. Mo Feng was in a nearby tent. Hearing the noise, he hurried out to greet them and bowed respectfully, saying, "Master, Princess."
Qiu Kui and Dong Qing on the other side followed closely, walked out, and saluted together, saying, "Prince, Princess."
Mo Shaoxie ordered, "Mo Feng, go gather all the imperial doctors who are not infected with the plague here."
Mo Feng took the order and quickly went to carry it out.
Shangguan Ziling turned to Qiu Kui and Dong Qing and said, "You two follow me in."
Qiu Kui and Dong Qing answered in unison: "Yes, Princess." Then they followed Shangguan Ziling into the tent.
Inside the tent, Shangguan Ziling poured the spiritual spring water in the space into several large wooden barrels. The surface of the water was shining with a clear luster, as if it contained infinite vitality.
Shangguan Ziling instructed: "Distribute this spiritual spring water to everyone in the disaster area, one bowl for each person."
Okra and Holly nodded in acceptance of the order, each carried a large bucket of spiritual spring water, walked out of the tent, went back and forth several times, and then began to organize people to distribute it.
After a while, the imperial doctors who were not infected by the plague arrived one after another. They stood solemnly outside the tent, waiting for Shangguan Ziling's instructions.
Shangguan Ziling glanced around and gave a few clear and concise instructions. Then, together with Xue Zhiyan, she led the group of imperial doctors towards the back mountain.
Seeing this, Mo Shaoxie stepped forward with his long legs, his voice full of unquestionable firmness: "The king and Ling'er will go together."
Shangguan Ziling stopped and looked back at him, with a hint of helplessness between her brows: "You don't know herbs, so you can't help much if you go. We still need someone to stay here, so you stay here."
Mo Shaoxie didn't care. He held Shangguan Ziling's hand tightly and said with a smile, "It's enough to have the Fourth Prince here. Besides, with me here, I can protect you, right?"
After Mo Shaoxie finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Jun Feiqin out of the corner of his eye.
Jun Feiqin also stepped forward and said politely, "That's right, the Regent will go with you and can protect you. Here, you don't have to worry about the Regent Princess. Leave it to me."
Mo Shaoxie raised his eyebrows slightly to show his agreement. Shangguan Ziling saw this and no longer insisted, nodded and said, "Okay, then you can go with us."
So, the group headed towards the back mountain in a mighty manner.
Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling walked side by side, followed closely by Xue Zhiyan and a group of imperial doctors.
The imperial doctors were somewhat afraid of Mo Shaoxie and walked tremblingly behind him, secretly accompanied by several secret guards. After all, there were uncertain dangerous factors in the mountains, and these imperial doctors had no ability to protect themselves, so the secret guards had to protect their safety.
The mountain paths are winding and overgrown with weeds. The tall grass makes it almost impossible to walk, making it difficult to walk.
Just when the imperial doctors began to feel confused and helpless, a team of secret guards in black suddenly appeared. They were agile, drew their swords and slashed, and soon they cleared a passage for everyone.
Despite this, the mountain road was rugged and every step was extremely difficult for the elderly imperial doctors.
Although the young imperial doctors still had enough strength, they were already out of breath.
Seeing this, Mo Shaoxie frowned, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes: "Waste, so useless!" This cold voice made the imperial doctors shiver involuntarily, and they lowered their heads in silence.
However, the imperial doctors were quite puzzled. The Prince Regent, Mo Shaoxie, was very famous, and the Princess Regent, Shangguan Ziling, was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion before she married into the Prince Regent's Mansion. She was spoiled since childhood, but now in such a difficult environment, she remained calm and had no complaints. This was really puzzling.
Shangguan Ziling had noticed the strangeness of the imperial doctors a long time ago, and said, "They have no martial arts skills, and some of them are old. I didn't think it through. Let's do this, have someone escort the older imperial doctors back, and the younger ones who still have the strength to search around here."
These words made the imperial doctors very grateful. One of the older doctors even knelt on the ground excitedly and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, Princess! Thank you, Princess! I am useless."
Shangguan Ziling said, "Get up!" After that, she shook Mo Shaoxie's hand and said softly, "Mo Shaoxie, let's go a little further and take a look."
Mo Shaoxie nodded in agreement: "Okay."
Mo Shaoxie ordered the secret guards: "Do as the princess says. I don't need anyone to follow me."
The secret guards answered in unison: "Yes!"
So, Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling continued to explore forward.
Their figures gradually moved farther and farther away until they disappeared into the depths of the mountains and forests.
Only then did the remaining imperial doctors dare to relax their tense nerves a little.
Although Xue Zhiyan is not young, he is also good at martial arts and is agile, so he does not feel too much pressure.
He chose to go in the opposite direction of Shangguan Ziling and Mo Shaoxie. He had gone out to look for herbs many times before, and the environments were much worse than this. He also planned to look for herbs alone.
The secret guards naturally knew Xue Zhiyan's strength, and no one followed him.
The young imperial doctors took a short rest and then began to look for traces. To ensure safety, three secret guards stayed behind to protect them.
The other two secret guards were responsible for escorting the older imperial doctors back. As they were in poor health, the two secret guards could only wait for them to rest enough before sending them back.
Shangguan Ziling and Mo Shaoxie walked side by side on the rugged mountain road.
The mountain road was steep and overgrown with weeds. Seeing this, Mo Shaoxie's eyes became stern. He moved quickly and gently pulled his hand, and the soft sword hanging on his waist slid into his palm.
The tip of the sword trembled slightly, making a slight humming sound, as if responding to the call of its master. The soft sword in his hand danced like the wind, flexibly cutting the thorns and weeds in front of him, and instantly opened up a clear path.
At the same time, Mo Shaoxie held Shangguan Ziling's hand tightly with his other hand. His fingers were warm and powerful, conveying a sense of security to Shangguan Ziling, allowing her to feel the firmness and courage from her lover even in this strange and dangerous environment.
Shangguan Ziling felt Mo Shaoxie's attentive care, and a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes. When she was on missions before, she was alone in even worse environments. In fact, she could do it by herself, but now she seemed to have become like a little woman, happily enjoying this man's meticulous care.
Shangguan Ziling didn't say anything, but just leaned on him silently, letting him lead the way forward.
The two figures were looming in the dense forest, but their steps were firm and consistent.
