“Bing ‘Er, do you still need to be so worried about me?

Gu Ying smiled. Although he was teasing her, his heart felt as if it had drunk honey. His eyes were so thick that they could pull out threads.

“Ying, I’m serious. You have to agree.”

MO Ruyue’s expression was extremely solemn as she stared into Gu Ying’s eyes, wanting him to promise her.

Although he did not know where her worries came from, Gu Ying had always obeyed her requests as long as they did not endanger her safety. Seeing that she was serious, he nodded without hesitation.

Of course I’ll agree to your request. If there’s anything wrong with this trip, I’ll come back immediately and discuss it with you before taking action.”

Gu Ying did not think that MO Ruyue had underestimated him. On the contrary, she had deeply loved him, which was why she was so worried about his ability.

Therefore, his gaze became even gentler. His deep voice slowly spread out in the night, like the bass strings of a cello being plucked and sung. It made MO Ruyue’s ears hot and itchy. Her eyes were glued to his, and she was particularly reluctant to part with him.

The two of them drank and admired the moon on the roof, chatting until late at night.

Before dawn, Gu Ying held Little Blacks hand and set off alone.

In order to ensure his safety, MO Ruyue had specially adjusted the time in the space and concocted a series of life-saving medicines for him. She had even prepared a small jar of spirit spring water.

This thing was better than any elixir. It had super cell recovery ability and poison cleaning ability. It could guarantee that as long as Gu Ying was not beheaded or pierced through the heart by a sword, even the King of Hell would not be able to take him away.

It was a pity that Gu Ying did not have a portable space like MO Ruyue’s. However, she still used the advanced technology in the space to research a miniature capsule and stuffed all the medicine and other items she had prepared into it.

Parting was always the most torturous, especially when two people were deeply in love. They had not been together for long and had to face separation again. Naturally, it was difficult to part.

However, the two of them were also extremely rational people. In the past, when they were on missions, they would often not see each other for months. In fact, they were already used to such a life.

After a round of intimate contact, Gu Ying put the miniature capsule into the hundred treasure purse that he carried with him. Under MO Ruyue’s insistence, he brought along a giant wolf.

MO Ruyue had sent him out of the city, sending him off for thousands of miles.

She flew up to the top of the tree and watched Gu Ying’s figure gradually fade away.

Seeing MO Ruyue come back alone, the babies couldn’t help but look at Da Bao.

If it wasn’t for Big Brother’s words, Uncle Ying wouldn’t have volunteered to look for their teacher, Du Zhongheng.

Da Bao ignored the gazes that were directed at him, but after being stared at too many times, he finally raised his eyes impatiently and glanced back at them coldly.

The younger siblings all ducked their heads and avoided him. The boss’ majesty was undoubtedly displayed at this moment.

MO Ruyue saw through everything but did not say anything.

Chu City was also an important road to the north. When they were surveying the terrain in the city yesterday, MO Ruyue and Gu Ying had split up to investigate. There was no trace of the Bai Family staying there.

In fact, Gu Ying’s departure was not entirely to find Du Zhongheng. MO Ruyue was more worried that something might have happened to the Bai family and they would go into hiding again.

Although she was a person who was afraid of trouble, her relationship with the Bai family was not ordinary. Naturally, she would not turn a blind eye to the disaster that might happen to her.

Although MO Ruyue stayed in Chu City, she did not become idle.

The first thing she had to do today was to go to the government office.

As Chu City had not experienced the baptism of natural disasters, everything seemed to be running smoothly. However, as one walked on the streets, one could see disaster victims living under the eaves and corners of the walls on both sides of the road.

Many of them had already recovered from their external injuries, but their internal injuries, hunger, and desperation were still clearly written on their faces.

Along the way, MO Ruyue had given out rations to countless beggars. There was even a group of children following behind the carriage, looking for an opportunity to ask for more things from her.

As the government office gradually approached, the children following behind began to stop one after another. They watched MO Ruyue’s carriage from afar and did not dare to move forward.

Two burly bailiffs were standing at the entrance of the government office. When they saw MO Ruyue coming forward, they immediately pulled out half of their sabers and blocked the way.

“Who is it? What is it? Report your name! This is an important place in the government office. You are not allowed to trespass!”

MO Ruyue was taken aback. Although the government office was an important place for officials, there would still be people who would come to beat the drum and voice their grievances.

If these bailiffs were blocking the inner courtyard, it would be fine. But why was it that even the main entrance outside was tightly blocked, and even the wronging drum was sealed?

“I’m a doctor from Huichun Hall. I’m here to see the county magistrate.”

As she spoke, she showed the commendation order issued by The Imperial Court to the two of them.

The bright red official seal was raised, proving that MO Ruyue was not lying. The two bailiffs’ expressions immediately changed when they saw it.

“So it’s Lady Qin. Everyone in Chu City knows your name. What brings you here?”

A bailiff wanted to get close to her, but MO Ruyue also wanted to get some information from him, so she said, “I came from the south. After the previous natural disaster, I have a lot of rescue experience. I also have important matters to discuss with you.”

“Aiya, that natural disaster was said to be too terrifying. Many cities and villages were hit by huge flint stones, and all of them died in an instant. When

Lady Qin saw that miserable situation, she must have felt very uncomfortable.”

The bailiff took the opportunity to start a conversation with MO Ruyue. The moment the conversation started, they seemed to be much closer.

“Officer, I see that there are many disaster victims in the city. They must have escaped from the south. I wonder what the situation in the city is like now.”

MO Ruyue avoided the bailiff’s question and began to fish out the bailiffs information.

Perhaps it was because of MO Ruyue’s title as a Divine Doctor and the honor of being recognized by The Imperial Court, the bailiff did not reject MO Ruyue’s question. Instead, he felt a sense of pride because she was willing to respond to him.

“Sigh, don’t mention it. At first, we also felt that the disaster victims were very pitiful, but as more and more people gathered, this trouble came. It’s not just the problem of food and herbs, but also the problem of accommodation and future survival.”

“Our Chu City is also considered a traffic fortress. It can be said that it is quite rich, but it can’t withstand so many people squeezing in. Even the usual public security situation has begun to deteriorate.”

“Our county magistrate is famous for his honesty and kindness. He is also worried about this situation. But how can Chu City support so many people on its own?

Once he said that, she couldn’t stop.

After talking for a long time, MO Ruyue had a general understanding of Chu City’s situation.

This was the drawback of not having an efficient and unified government. Although she met the prince who went to the disaster relief on the way, the process of coordinating the allocation of resources was too long.

There were only seventy-two hours of golden rescue time after the disaster, but by the time the imperial court’s supplies arrived, it was already more than a month later. The problems caused by this low efficiency were really serious..
