EBE Chapter 275 First Trip to Jiaxian?
Chapter 275 First Trip to Jiaxian?
What the four of them didn't know was that their every move was being watched clearly by someone hiding in the shadows.
Her thoughts actually coincided with those of the Spirit King.
They really should go out and explore on their own.
Otherwise, don't even mention seeking revenge against the Shadow.
Even if all ten of them use the exquisite array to enhance and coordinate their attacks, they probably won't be able to inflict even a tenth of the damage on Shadow.
Shui'er and Xiao He were the first to arrive at the palace, and the guards tried to stop them when they came.
After all, King Ling had been busy all night and only rested an hour ago, so he dared not let Shui'er and the other two go and disturb them.
But Shui'er and Xiao He were unwilling to agree at this moment, knowing in their hearts that if they delayed any longer...
If their eldest sister catches up with us later, we won't be able to leave tonight.
The guards were cornered by the two men and had no choice but to report to Cha Lingxing.
Before long, the eight spirit stars arrived with their guards.
Before the eight spirit stars could even ask a question, Xiao He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Hua Lingxing's hand.
"Sister Yang, please take us away quickly!"
Hua Lingxing asked, somewhat puzzled, "What are you doing? It's not even dawn yet. Where do you want me to take you?"
Xiaohe said anxiously, "Didn't we say yesterday that we were going to various towns to treat the people infected with the plague?"
Hua Lingxing pressed further, "What about Daya, Xiaoyue, and the others?"
Xiaohe stamped her foot: "Oh dear, Sister Yang, don't ask so many questions! Let's go!"
Hua Lingxing shook her head: "No, I can't take you away until you explain yourself clearly."
Even if I were to take you away, I would have to inform the Spirit King first.
Xiaohe's eyes lit up: "Then let's go tell the Spirit King now that you want to take us ahead!"
Qin Lingxing, who had seen through the situation, asked, "Did you two sneak out on your own?"
Xiaohe blurted out, "How did you know... uh... Sister Qin, you're lying to me!"
Apart from Hua Lingxing, the other seven Lingxing couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Qin Lingxing smiled and said to Hua Lingxing, "Never mind, since they're all here, let's take them to report to the Spirit King."
Hua Lingxing looked at the two girls in front of her, their faces flushed with anxiety, and shook her head helplessly.
Then, the eight spirit stars led Shui'er and Xiao He toward the Spirit King's palace.
The King's palace was quiet and still, with only the candlelight on the bronze lampstand flickering gently in the wind.
The shadows of the carved beams and pillars, sometimes long and sometimes short, were cast on the ground, adding to the sense of solitude.
The guard held his breath and carefully pushed open the bedroom door. The heavy wooden door creaked softly as it scraped against the floor.
The eight spirit stars led Shui'er and Xiao He in one after another, their steps as light as if they were walking on clouds.
Qin Lingxing took two steps forward, bowed slightly to the figure behind the screen, and lowered her voice.
"Your subordinate, Qin Lingxing, pays respects to the Spirit King."
In fact, King Ling had already woken up the moment the palace gates were pushed open.
He had been leaning against the soft couch, but now he sat up, wearing a plain brocade robe with dark patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs, which were faintly visible in the candlelight.
Hearing Qin Lingxing's voice, he replied indifferently, "You've arrived early."
This was clearly referring to Shui'er and Xiao He.
Having said that, King Ling rose from the soft couch, slowly walked around the screen, and came out.
He stood tall and straight, and his brocade robes exuded an air of authority.
When his gaze fell on the two little girls, a hint of a smile unconsciously flashed in his eyes, but he deliberately put on a serious face.
Knowing full well what was going on, he asked, "It's only just past dawn, isn't it? What brings you two to see me in such a hurry?"
Xiaohe felt increasingly guilty under his gaze. She secretly tugged at Hua Lingxing's sleeve with her small hand, her head slightly lowered, her voice barely audible.
“King Ling…we were thinking of having Sister Yang lead us to set off as soon as possible so we can treat the sick people.”
Upon hearing this, the Spirit King secretly smiled and nodded, saying, "Oh? You're quite thoughtful!"
Qin Lingxing stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying, "King Ling, since Shui'er and Xiao He are already here, why don't you let them accompany me first?"
"Once Lin Yunjiao and the others arrive, Qi Lingxing and the others will provide backup."
After pondering for a moment, King Ling nodded and turned his gaze to Shui'er and Xiao He.
"Would it be alright if Qin Lingxing accompanied you on this journey?"
The two exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing an barely suppressed eagerness.
At this moment, it doesn't matter who leads the team; the most important thing is to set off as soon as possible.
Shui'er responded first, her tone decisive: "Your Majesty, Xiao He and I are both fine!"
King Ling raised an eyebrow slightly, then suddenly changed the subject and asked a question.
"I ask you, with your medical skills, are you confident in curing those sick people?"
Shui'er's expression hardened upon hearing Ling Wang's words, and her tone became serious.
"I dare not deceive the Spirit King. The conditions of patients vary greatly, and I must examine their pulse and observe their complexion before prescribing the right medicine."
We dare not say we are absolutely certain, but we will certainly give it our all and will not slacken our efforts!
Upon hearing this, the Spirit King slowly nodded: "Very well, in that case, you may depart. Qinling Star!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"I remember that the two of them had previously traveled to Jiaxian County alone."
"You should take them to Jiaxian County first, where the epidemic situation is quite urgent."
King Ling looked at Shui'er and Xiao He, his tone filled with concern.
"Go with Qin Lingxing to Jiaxian County. If you encounter any sick people on the way, please help them if you have the ability to do so."
Shui'er and Xiao He replied in unison, "Please rest assured, King Ling, we will do our utmost!"
King Ling nodded and turned to Qin Lingxing: "You set off from the North Gate. Have you prepared all the medicinal herbs?"
Qin Lingxing cupped her hands in greeting: "Your Majesty, everything is ready."
"Go."
"Yes."
The Spirit King's voice was steady and powerful, carrying an unquestionable determination.
"Remember, you must not only treat patients, but also protect yourself."
"Your subordinate obeys!" Qin Lingxing replied in a deep voice, then turned to Shui'er and Xiao He and gestured, "Let's go."
The two bowed to the Spirit King in unison, then turned and quickly followed Qin Lingxing.
The wind under the eaves lifted their clothes, carrying a sense of haste, yet also revealing an unwavering determination that left no room for turning back.
King Ling stood in the bedroom watching the three figures walk away until they disappeared at the end of the corridor before slowly withdrawing his gaze.
In fact, the epidemic situation in Chiayi County is far more complicated than he described.
Because of Gu Xuanchao, the patients in Jiaxian City are even more seriously ill than those in Donghai City.
The Ling Kingdom has five main cities, each with its own important position and location.
Needless to say, Illusionary Spirit City is the capital of the Spirit Kingdom.
As the central main city, it governs the other four cities.
It is also the place where King Ling governs and resides. The city has magnificent palaces and bustling markets, making it the political and economic core of the Ling Kingdom.
