Chapter 122 Departure to Lingcheng
The cold wind blew across the cheeks like a knife, making everyone feel the biting cold. At this time, Kyoto was covered with snow, and the world wrapped in silver seemed particularly quiet and solemn. However, today there was a special person who was leaving Kyoto and heading to the distant Lingcheng. This person was Yun Yuxi, who was shouldering a difficult and sacred mission - to save the people of Lingcheng.
When Yun Yuxi stepped out of the palace gate, many people had gathered outside to see her off. Their eyes showed their expectations and gratitude for Yun Yuxi, as if they placed all their hopes on her. Yun Yuxi was deeply moved, but at the same time she also felt a huge pressure.
"Yun Yuxi, this trip to Lingcheng is of extraordinary significance. I place my hope on you, and the people of Lingcheng also place their hope on you. You must protect yourself and do your best to complete this task." Emperor Su Wen looked at Yun Yuxi with dignity. He knew that this mission was of vital importance to the entire country, so he chose to believe the woman in front of him.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Please also notify the neighboring prefectures to assist with medicinal herbs to ensure that the rescue work is in place. I will never let down the people of Lingcheng, nor will I let down Your Majesty's expectations." Yun Yuxi's voice was firm and powerful, and her eyes revealed fearlessness and determination.
The ministers around were moved, and they suddenly realized their previous shame. A man of seven feet tall was not as decisive and brave as a woman. They all nodded to Yun Yuxi, expressing their support and admiration. At this moment, Yun Yuxi had her hair tied up high and wore a bright red dress, showing her beauty and confidence.
"You all must obey Yun Yuxi's orders. I have already bestowed upon you the Imperial Sword. If local officials do not cooperate, Yun Yuxi has the right to execute them first and report later. Lingcheng is an important hub of our Great Yan. The current epidemic is serious and is related to the safety of our dynasty." Emperor Suwen said solemnly and handed the Imperial Sword to Yun Yuxi.
Yesterday, Yun Yuxi explained to the emperor that the Imperial Sword must be bestowed in front of all the ministers to make it more deterrent, so Yun Yuxi did not take the Imperial Sword away yesterday.
This move meant that Yun Yuxi was given great power, allowing her to take decisive action when faced with difficulties.
Yun Yuxi took the imperial sword and expressed her gratitude solemnly. She knew that this was a heavy responsibility and needed to rush to Lingcheng as quickly as possible to organize rescue forces, distribute medicines and supplies, and stabilize the people's hearts. She must ensure that every disaster-stricken person receives timely treatment and ensure the basic operation of the city.
Following the order, the carriage slowly drove out of the capital. The crowd that saw them off gradually dispersed, leaving behind a silence. Yun Yuxi sat in the carriage, feeling heavy but determined. She knew that a tough battle was waiting for her ahead, but she was not afraid. Because she understood that only through her own efforts could she save those innocent lives and restore the vitality and prosperity of Lingcheng.
The people in the city looked at Yun Yuxi, who gave up the carriage and rode on horseback. Her back, dressed in red, was straight and tall, like a fire in this winter, burning everyone's eyes and making everyone's attention focused on her. The team following her also became the focus of everyone's attention.
Yan Wuque, who was standing on the city gate, looked at the team going farther and farther away, feeling extremely lost. His woman had left, leaving with a mission. He knew that Yun Yuxi would be in great danger on this journey, but he could not stop her. He could only pray silently, hoping that she would return safely.
Until the last carriage was out of sight, Chi Yan said, "Master, go back. The princess will live up to the mission, complete the task, and return triumphantly."
Yan Wuque did not answer, but just sat there quietly, his eyes fixed on the direction where Yun Yuxi left, as if he wanted to imprint her figure deeply in his mind.
The red background seemed to be frozen in Yan Wuque's eyes. He looked in the direction where Yun Yuxi left, sitting motionless in the wheelchair. The falling snowflakes had turned his hair white, and even his shoulders were covered with snow.
Time passed minute by minute, and Yan Wuque still maintained the same posture, without any sign of movement, his eyes were full of sadness and helplessness.
"Chi Yan, let's go," Yan Wuque finally spoke, his voice a little choked.
After hearing this, Chi Yan immediately pushed the wheelchair and walked slowly towards the city. Yan Wuque's face still had a hint of sadness.
"Princess Princess, it's getting late and it's not suitable to travel. There is an open space in front and we can set up camp here. What do you think?" said the martial arts champion Fu Zhenwu calmly.
"Okay. Tell everyone to set up camp here. I'm afraid the snow won't stop for a while." Yun Yuxi said worriedly.
Soon, tents were erected one after another. Fortunately, the accompanying imperial doctors were all young, and although they were exhausted, they were not seriously injured. They helped the cooks set up the stove and boil water.
Yun Yuxi walked to the front of the stove and secretly added spiritual spring water when no one was paying attention. Yun Yuxi wanted to make everyone as comfortable as possible and maintain their strength along the way.
Thank you all for your hard work. Today, the princess will prepare the meal. The cook will continue to boil the water. I will bring out the food in a moment.
Yun Yuxi returned to her tent, ordered Yue Lan Lingyi to guard outside, and walked in alone. She quickly exchanged instant noodles and chicken legs with her consciousness, and told the space baby to tear off all the instant noodle packaging bags. Soon, there were a lot of naked instant noodles and several large plates of chicken legs in the tent.
"Yuelan, Lingyi. Come in." Yun Yuxi knew that the appearance of these things could not be hidden from the people around her, and no excuse would be reasonable.
Yuelan and Lingyi looked at the pile of noodles and several plates of chicken legs, and looked at Yun Yuxi in surprise. They knew that the princess had abilities and secrets. The two looked at each other and did not ask where these things came from.
Yun Yuxi looked at the two of them and said, "You two go find a few boxes, pack the items, and then carry them outside. You are my family, and I don't want to hide the secrets of this princess, but you know what people outside are like," Yun Yuxi said calmly.
The two nodded, then carried a box and put the unpackaged instant noodles in it. After packing, they carried it out of the tent and followed Yun Yuxi to the crowd.
Due to the cold, everyone sat around the fire, looking at the two large boxes that were carried in. They were all puzzled, and the two did not explain, and then went back to bring chicken legs.
Yun Yuxi opened the box, put the noodles into the pot of boiling water, and added seasonings one by one. A pot of steaming hot noodles was ready, and the aroma that wafted out made everyone swallow their saliva.
"What kind of noodles is this, Princess? They smell so good." asked Zhao Yun, the apprentice of the Imperial Hospital.
"This is the Regent's Palace. The new noodle dish that this princess has researched is called instant noodles. It can be eaten by soaking in hot water or boiling it. It tastes very delicious." As she spoke, she scooped up a bowl and handed it to Zhao Yun who was speaking.
