Chapter 443: Mutual Use

such a major case! Thank you! Thank you!""The team leader is too kind. We all just do our jobs and fulfill our responsibilities."Ripples also made a few polite remarks before asking why he had come to..."Yes, I will do it right away."

Since this route is used by Mongol spies to transport people back and forth, the Mongols must have personnel stationed along it. You should eliminate or control them all. Before the war begins, we cannot let the enemy know that we discovered this route.

"Yes, subordinates understand!"

Immediately, the leader of Group C selected some personnel from Group B and left the imperial city overnight.

The burden on the shoulders of the taskmaster has been eased somewhat. By mastering this route, not only can we defend against Mongol raids, but we can also infiltrate their rear flanks and create chaos while their forces are concentrated on the front lines. Perhaps this could shorten the duration of the war and allow us to prepare for the coming blizzard.

"It seems like I'm definitely going to pass this intermediate mission assessment this time."

The tasker thought to himself with a hint of smugness.

"Don't get too cocky, after a great victory there will inevitably be a major epidemic. There are still many things you need to consider, winning the war is only a necessary condition."

Qin Xin immediately tightened the screws for the task giver.

"I know, I just need to catch my breath."

"Your Majesty, Princess Xiangyi is causing trouble again, and she even injured Doctor Zhang."

Grandfather Yu rushed in and reported.

The emperor's face darkened as he frowned, his eyes filled with disgust. Xiang Yi had been able to stir up trouble before because she had people on her side. Now that those people were replaced by his own, he wouldn't tolerate such behavior any longer.

"Convey my decree: Zhang the imperial physician has been instrumental in treating the princess's illness. He shall be awarded five hundred taels of silver, given ten days' rest, and promoted to Deputy Director of the Imperial Hospital."

"Yes, this servant shall attend to it at once! As for the princess..."

"Since the person who treated her face was injured, then her face shouldn't be treated for now. I will find a renowned doctor and send him to treat her."

The emperor said coldly.

"Yes, the slave knows now what to do."

Yu Gonggong's eyes flashed, and he understood the emperor's meaning.

Xiangyi is currently in her palace, smashing things. The maidservants surrounding her are kneeling on the ground, burying their heads deeply to avoid being taken out as a punching bag by the princess.

"This bunch of useless old geezers! To say they did their best is a blatant excuse, they were clearly just slacking off!"

Xiangyi's face was somewhat ferocious, no longer possessing the good complexion she had eighteen years ago. It was mainly the injury from six years ago that kept her face in a state of perpetual healing and pain. Every once in a while, it would flare up and torment her, making her extremely irritable and quick to anger.

And when people around her did things that slightly displeased her, she would drag them down to be killed. There wasn't a single person around her who pleased her, which made her even more irritable and plunged her into a vicious cycle.

"Princess, Your Majesty has arrived!"

A young maid, trembling with fear, came in to report.

"What is he doing"

Xiang Yi's face, veiled by a fine silk curtain, flashed a look of displeasure. However, she quickly suppressed it; after all, the other person was someone close to the Emperor. She had to give them some face.

Princess Xiangyi, peace be upon you! This old slave is here on the Emperor's command to deliver an oral decree. I will leave once I am finished and will not stay to inconvenience Your Highness.

Elder Yu led the way, stepping into the palace with measured strides. After stopping, he performed a respectful bow before announcing the emperor's decree. He instructed those behind him to carry Zhang the imperial physician, who lay on the ground with a head full of wounds and blood, down from the place.

"Princess, please remain calm. The Emperor has already posted a notice, inviting renowned physicians from all over the land. Surely one will be found who can cure you."

Upon hearing Yu Gong's words, Xiang Yi's face softened slightly, but she just coldly nodded her head.

"Princess, I have served the Emperor for over thirty years and have a bit of understanding about him. There is something I wish to say, but I'm not sure if it's appropriate."

"That's what you said!"

Princess Xiangyi looked coldly at this old man, feeling extreme contempt in her heart.

"Back then, in order to allow the Han Kingdom time to recuperate, the late Emperor had no choice but to arrange for Your Highness to marry into another country. To ensure Your Highness' safety, a sufficient number of guards were assigned to you, hoping that one day Your Highness could return safely to the Han Kingdom."

The princess was intelligent and resourceful. After marrying into the Meng nation for three years, she instigated Tuo Ba Han's ambition, leading him to usurp his brother and seize the throne, plunging the Meng nation into civil war. This allowed the princess to escape back to the Han nation.

The princess was able to escape safely. This involved a direct order from the Emperor. To help the princess escape, many Han spies hidden within Mongol territory were exposed, resulting in numerous casualties. However, for the sake of the princess, the Emperor didn't hesitate even for a moment.

Now that the Mongol forces have calmed down, they are once again looking to stir up trouble. However, because so many spies were sacrificed earlier, the Mongols are extremely cautious and it's very difficult to place new agents. In preparation for war, the Emperor has been staying up all night in his study recently, hoping the princess will understand.

The Emperor respected the Princess deeply. He allowed her to remain in the palace and never pressured her for a husband, not saying much about it. Even when the Princess's demand to live with her first love was brought up, the Emperor agreed. Even though many officials submitted petitions accusing the Princess of being reckless and murdering innocents, the Emperor suppressed them all.

"What are you trying to say"

Xiangyi directly interrupted the other person's incessant chatter.

"Excuse me for speaking out of turn, but even the greatest kindness will eventually wear thin."

Mr. Yu said something that implied a meaning.

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiang Yi's face visibly darkened. She immediately let out a cold snort and said:

"This princess understands. Tell Your Majesty that while I can't help him, I won't hold him back."

"Yes, this old servant will definitely bring the message."

Immediately, Yu Gonggong then took his people and left.

But Xiangyi was unusually calm this time, sitting on the soft couch and lost in thought.

After returning home, Yu Gonggong relayed Xiangyi's words and stood beside him as a background board.

As the emperor, who was a taskmaster, he let out a cold snort and immediately said to Yu Gonggong:

"Let that 'Poisonous Doctor' enter the palace. Tell him to cure Xiangyi's face no matter what, without considering the consequences or letting her know about the side effects. She wants a face, beauty, and youth; I will naturally fulfill her wishes."

Yes, this old slave will announce his entry into the palace right away.

"No rush, let's talk in a month. Just say this person is a famous doctor from the common people. Don't raise her suspicions."

The emperor looked at the edict in his hand and said carelessly.

"

The old servant understands.

"

Qiqiu from Huirou County waited for seven days and finally met his master. After explaining everything, he immediately set off on a journey to catch up with the group led by Lianyi.

While Hai Zang Hong had remained in Huai'rou County, after Wang Ya Zuo and his men left, three days later, his attendant rushed to him and whispered a few words in his ear. This immediately changed Hai Zang Hong's expression.

"He's got a lucky escape! He must have met a noble person. Go find out about the people he was with."

Hachiroku fiddled with his folding fan and immediately said.

"Yes, young master."

And the ripples, which were remembered by both parties, had arrived at the outskirts of Wujiang County with a number of martial arts heroes.

"Everyone, there is a ruined temple ahead. We will spend the night there today and set off early tomorrow morning. We should reach Wujiang County before evening."

Xiao Shu looked at the sky and said to everyone,

"No problem! This forest is dense, I'll go catch some game to satisfy your cravings."

Someone immediately chimed in.

Just like that, a group of people swarmed into the dilapidated temple.ng Yaozu asked directly, he didn't dare to go deep into the mountains and forests, lest he couldn't find the horse in the end, but lost himself."Don't worry, I won't take you deep into the mountains a...
