Chapter 185 Rescue
However, Zhang Qiang couldn't hear clearly, he could only grab the sleeve of the visitor, tried his best to raise his body, and begged hoarsely, "Please... go and inform... inform Prince Hao's residence... the son is in trouble... long ...The plague broke out in Changshui County...the army massacred the city...Miss Chu...Miss Chu and the others are still inside...The prince is also infected with the epidemic, only Miss Chu can...cure him!"

Zhang Qiang felt that he had exhausted all his strength to yell, but the sound that came out was so soft and powerless.

But the people around him obviously heard, "You mean Miss Chu?! Which Miss Chu?!"

This sound was urgent and sharp, and it contained internal strength, even though Zhang Qiang's ears were buzzing, he still heard it.

His lips moved, and he said with difficulty: "The second lady of the Duke's Mansion...Chu...Chu Yao...she found a cure...a cure for the epidemic...but those people trapped her in Changshui The county...wanted...to kill her...the son tried his best to stop...but there was nothing he could do."

Just when Zhang Qiang was halfway through his words, the air pressure around him seemed to freeze, almost freezing everything around him into a snowfield for thousands of miles.

Yinfeng's face was pale, and she knelt down in front of Mo Xiuran tremblingly, "This subordinate is guilty...Subordinate, I failed to protect Miss Chu!"

In Mo Xiuran's dark pupils, there seemed to be a raging flame burning, but the flame was icy cold, so cold that it could drop ice scum: "Mobilize the nearest Tianqi Dynasty garrison, and drive me away within three hours." Go to Changshui County. If you can't even do this, you don't have to appear in front of me again from now on!"

"Yes, this subordinate will do it even to the death!!" Yin Feng kowtowed heavily, his body trembling, his voice hoarse, but relieved.

"Drive --!!!" As soon as the words fell, the horse under Mo Xiuran's feet had already disappeared like a shooting star.

The people behind quickly followed, only one guard stayed behind to take care of the unconscious Zhang Qiang, while Yinfeng rushed to another direction like lightning.

It was also the early morning hours when the night was as dark as ink, Chu Yao, the yamen servant, and Liu Fen walked through the dense wilderness and deep mountains.

From time to time, the howling of wild animals in the depths of the forest could be heard.

The mountain wind is howling, and it is bone-chillingly cold.

There are also those mosquitoes buzzing in their ears, even if they are wrapped in layers of sackcloth, even if they are wiped with insect repellent potions, they still can't help shivering when they think that these are the source of infection of the epidemic.

The yamen servant and Liu Fen couldn't help but glance at the slender girl in front of her.

Even they felt that it was so hard, but Chu Yao was like this, walking for more than an hour in the dark night of the deep mountains, but she didn't even utter a word of suffering.

Finally, when there was a hint of whiteness in the sky, the three of them finally climbed over the mountain behind Lijia Village and came to a lake in a mountain depression.

"Miss Chu, look quickly, the one by the lake is the Qinghao you're looking for?"

Chu Yao looked in the direction pointed by the yamen servant, and saw the lakeside was lush green, if it wasn't the Artemisia annua she had been thinking about day and night these days.

She nodded slowly, the excitement in her heart was almost boiling, but it finally turned into a soft and hoarse sigh, "Yes...it's Qinghao, we finally found it."

"Hahaha, does that mean that the epidemic is cured? The prince is cured?" Liu Fen shouted excitedly, "Miss Chu, hurry up, let's go collect Artemisia annua so that we can return before dawn."

Chu Yao nodded, and was about to step out, but suddenly her knees gave way and she almost fell to her knees.
