Chapter 211: Expressing your determination
Chapter 211: Expressing your determination
Xiao Yuehan said to General Hu: "First, we must prevent him from jumping off the wall when he is desperate, and second, we must prevent him from escaping again."
At this moment, people jumped out from the tree one after another.
They landed lightly on the ground, rolled on the ground, extinguished the flames on their bodies, and fled separately in the dark.
How can we allow them to be so arrogant anymore?
Xiao Yuehan had already prepared poison powder, which everyone knew how to use. Just sprinkle a handful, add the wind direction, and add the fire to help.
That group of people still couldn't resist. Everyone who heard it felt their throat tighten and they couldn't breathe. If they tried to breathe in again, they would fall to the ground.
Zhang Cheng looked at the monsters who fell to the ground and said with a bit of regret: "Why are you so fragile? I haven't had enough fun yet, and you're falling down like this?"
As he spoke, he looked at the unused powder of the princess in his hand with admiration, and held it in his arms with care: "This is a treasure, we must keep it well."
Several soldiers nearby also sighed. I feel the same way~I feel the same~.
Of course we also suffered losses, but when Xiao Yuehan was planning the attack, he did not let all of the more than 100 people join in the battle with the monsters, but instead joined in batches according to the situation.
Therefore, the losses are small and the combat effectiveness is strong.
Xiao Yuehan saw the old demon struggling to death, with a bunch of his white beard burned off, and still muttering to himself. She wanted to capture him alive, but she didn't want to fight any longer.
Then he raised his arm gracefully, and a bunch of poisoned silver needles flew towards the old Taoist.
No matter how strong your body is, I don't think you can withstand the poison needle a thousand years later.
That old monster, with several needles in his body, was still standing firm.
Oh, that’s so annoying. Xiao Yuehan raised his hand again and gave him some more.
The battle is over.
……
After returning to the camp, everyone knew that Xiao Yuehan had led everyone to suppress the White Eyebrow Sect, which made everyone tremble with fear and make their hair stand on end.
And now they have returned in triumph, and everyone is extremely happy. They gathered together, helping the soldiers to pack their luggage and armor, and chattering non-stop.
“The princess is truly our benefactor, and she does more than just help us eradicate the plague.
She also wiped out the White Eyebrow Sect that had been causing harm to the people, so we don’t have to worry about anything. The princess is our great benefactor.”
"That's right. We have always wanted to flee this area because of the White Eyebrow Sect. When the plague came, we became more determined to flee.
We didn't expect to meet the team led by the princess here, so we stayed.
Not only did it cure our illness, but it also resolved our worries.
We can return to the land where our ancestors lived.”
"We don't have to hide from the White Eyebrow Sect anymore. All the young and strong men in our village have been captured by the White Eyebrow Sect to make elixirs."
"Yes, that's right."
Seeing the hard-working soldiers, everyone volunteered to help with all the affairs in the camp.
The patients in the isolation area and those with mild symptoms all take care of themselves, so the soldiers don't have to worry about their eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.
They took the initiative to ask for care of the serious cases.
For a time, under the leadership of the princess, a style of working together and helping each other was quietly formed throughout the camp and the entire quarantine area.
In Xiao Yuehan's tent, Master Ning and Bai Lingling inquired about the process of this operation.
Seeing that Master Ning was much better, Xiao Yuehan asked him, "How did you get better so quickly? Is it because Bai Lingling is here to take care of you?"
Master Ning looked at Bai Lingling lovingly and said, "Yes, Bai Lingling has been a great help this time.
During the days when the princess went to suppress the White Eyebrow Sect, she not only took care of me, she also registered all the seriously ill patients and recorded their daily conditions.
And ask every day if there are any changes between the current day and previous days.
So, now, every serious case in the quarantine area is in her mind.”
Bai Lingling felt embarrassed when he praised her.
She said: "Princess, you are a woman, leading these soldiers deep into the tiger's den, which is both dangerous and hard. It is only natural for me to do something here. These are what I should do."
As she spoke, she took Xiao Yuehan's hand and said, "Princess, you have lost a lot of weight, your face has become tanned, and you look a little tired.
Let me take care of the things here for now, and you must have a good rest. Otherwise, the prince will be heartbroken when he sees you."
"You're teasing me."
Xiao Yuehan was shy. She shook the hand that was holding hers and said, "We need to have a good rest. Everyone needs to have a good rest. But I still want to thank you."
As she spoke, she frowned slightly and continued, "I never thought that the White Eyebrow Cult's lair would be so solid and its mechanisms so varied.
However, we still managed to defeat him, which was a very gratifying thing for everyone.”
She asked Bai Lingling again: "Now there is no car to go back to Chang'an City, what are you going to do? Stay here?"
Bai Lingling said straightforwardly, "It's right here. I won't go back even if I have a car. It's so meaningful here. There are endless things to do every day.
At home, my mother only asks me to embroider and play the piano, which is meaningless and I don’t like it.
When I return, I will follow the princess and do what I like to do."
Xiao Yuehan looked at the determined Bai Lingling and felt that she was a very brave girl in this era.
She sighed in her heart, if Princess Yuanshuang was as strong and decisive as she was, then life might be much better.
……
Master Ning and Bai Lingling had a heart-to-heart talk by the lake at the edge of the quarantine area.
Master Ning looked at the sunny and upright Bai Lingling and said, "What you said to the princess just now really made me look at you with new eyes.
I didn’t expect that you have changed so much compared to before. Sometimes, I really wonder, is this the Bai Lingling I know?
I remember how shy you were before, never saying a word in front of many people, a complete lady. Now look at you, you have become a stranger to me."
Bai Lingling raised her face slightly, her eyes firm and amazing.
She said: "I must live according to my own wishes. I saw Princess Yuanshuang, who loved Brother Wanshu so much that she was not afraid to become his concubine.
But she couldn't even do this. Too many worldly things and too many obstacles from all sides separated them and made them live in different places.
I will never be like this. For the sake of the one I love, I must be brave and not be swayed by others.
I figured it out overnight, and once I figured it out, I decided to do it.”
Looking at her fair, delicate but resolute face, Master Ning chuckled and said, "Are you doing all this for me? Am I your beloved?"
When Bai Lingling said these words just now, she looked righteous and awe-inspiring. When she saw Master Ning asking her, she panicked a little and quickly corrected her words: "I mean Princess Yuan Shuang for the one she loves."
