Chapter 121

In the carriage, Lin Zaozao was feeling depressed as she flipped a tael or two of silver coins over and over again in her hand.

Meanwhile, Xiao Taohua and Xiao Liuli were sitting quietly in the corner of the carriage, giggling to themselves.

Today, just as Lin Zaozao had suggested, they had passed through Canglan Country's checkpoint in plain sight. They had thought they would be discovered by the soldiers!

Throughout the journey, they had been nervous, thinking that if they were caught by Canglan Country's soldiers at the checkpoint, then Lin Zaozao would barge through with them.

But unexpectedly, Lin Zaozao had thrown a tantrum right in front of the soldiers, so much so that the soldiers did not even realize that the stubborn, unreasonable rich lady before them was actually the eminent medicinal sage Lin Daxian whom they were supposed to catch, as depicted in the portrait.

Luckily Lin Zaozao had guts and created a ruckus in front of the soldiers just now. All of them had been extremely nervous, afraid that the soldier would recognize Lin Zaozao.Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

But unexpectedly, Lin Zaozao had pestered the soldier right in front of his face, managing to prevent him from recognizing her as the fat medicinal sage in the portrait.

Hearing Xiao Taohua and Xiao Liuli giggling softly, Lin Zaozao did not even glance at them.

Ever since she had cried over her baby face yesterday, those two had sneered at her no end.

Humph! Those two were heartless creatures.

They simply could not empathize with the pain she felt. Those who transmigrated were supposed to gain peerless beauty, weren't they?

Yet she was stuck with the same baby face before and after transmigration.

Putting the coins into her money pouch, Lin Zaozao grumbled to herself inwardly. She had spent a tael or two to help divert that soldier's illness for a while.

This transaction was not a loss for her at all.

Just as Lin Zaozao had hung her money pouch on her waist, Uncle Zhang suddenly stopped the carriage.

"Girl, the people meeting us have arrived."

Right after Uncle Zhang finished speaking, Lin Zaozao swiftly opened the carriage curtain and jumped out.

When she looked up and saw the familiar person on horseback, she could not help crying out in surprise.

"Nan Yu, pretty boy!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Nan Yu who had been sitting sternly on the horse opened his eyes wide in shock.

He looked over and saw a cute, chubby young lady dressed in finery enthusiastically waving at him from the carriage.

Could this be...

He must have misheard!

Just as Nan Yu shook his head slightly, Nan Yin who had been standing beside him and another brawny middle-aged man immediately walked to the front of Lin Zaozao's carriage and knelt on the ground, saying in a loud voice.

"This is Han Country Major General Nan Yin coming to welcome Princess Mingzhu home!"

"This is Han Country Lieutenant General Li Zuo coming to welcome Princess Mingzhu home!"

Seeing the two kneeling people, Lin Zaozao immediately put away her smile and solemnly said,

"You may rise."

"Thank you, Princess Mingzhu!"

"Thank you, Princess Mingzhu!"

Lin Zaozao looked at Nan Yin and Li Zuo who were standing up, then looked at the mighty entourage before her. Crouching down, she softly asked Uncle Zhang,

"Uncle, please don't tell me all these people have come to meet me?"

"Girl, if not for Han Country still being in an isolationist state now, I would have thought this entourage too small!" Uncle Zhang sighed softly.

Even with the Divine Doctor Clan's miraculous healing abilities, they cannot possibly save the people in the border city without any medicine.

Moreover, the Divine Doctor Clan members were carried into the border city."

"Carried in? What do you mean?" Lin Zaozao asked coldly.

"Princess Mingzhu, the Divine Doctor Clan members had their Achilles tendons severed before entering the border city, so they cannot walk."

"What? Which son of a bitch did this? Severing their Achilles tendons renders the Divine Doctor Clan unable to heal others!"

"We do not know either, Princess."

Lin Zaozao took a deep breath after hearing Nan Yin's words. No, she had to stay calm now and not panic.

"Sister Nan Yin, my husband Fantian is also in the border city! If Fengshuo Country's dogs really burn down the border city, won't they burn Fantian to death too?"

"That's right."

Upon hearing Nan Yin's affirmative reply, Lin Zaozao instantly lost her cool.

No wonder they had left her prematurely. They must have learned about the border city's predicament.

Ji Fantian would never abandon his clansmen. Moreover, the Divine Doctor Clan's people had their Achilles' tendons cut before being sent into the border city.

However, wasn't Ji Fantian simply going to his death by entering the border city alone without sufficient preparation?

But considering the Divine Doctor Clan's people were now all inside the border city, it was understandable that Ji Fantian would act rashly.

After all, how many people could remain calm when their loved ones were facing life and death?

Now, only she could save Fantian.

She was now Han Country's Princess Mingzhu, the future Empress of Han Country.

She had to stay composed and not act in haste.

Because her mother had said that if she handled things in a hurried manner, everything would be ruined.

Thinking of this, Lin Zaozao forcibly calmed herself and turned to look at Uncle Zhang.

"Uncle Zhang, do we have enough medicinal materials and food here?"

"Yes. Because we knew Princess Mingzhu would return, we prepared ample fodder and medicinal ingredients ahead of time for any contingencies," Nan Yin replied.

"Can our people here match the border city's guards for a fight then?"

"Yes! I can guarantee that once we engage the border city guards in battle, we will certainly prevail," Uncle Zhang confidently stated.

After all, apart from the soldiers, most of the people here to welcome Princess Mingzhu were elite warriors handpicked from thousands.

"Good. We will set out for the border city posthaste now. If that damned Princess Qianyue of Fengshuo Country has burned down the border city, there would be nothing we could do even if we arrived," Lin Zaozao said.

"Princess Mingzhu, please!"

As Lin Zaozao looked at the consistently respectful Nan Yin and Nan Yu standing behind her, she currently had no mood to catch up with them and ask why they were no longer escort guards but here instead.

After Lin Zaozao sat in the carriage again, Xiao Taohua had already resumed his male attire, while Xiao Liuli still wore female clothing and sat quietly in the carriage.

"Uncle Zhang, Dashan, let's hurry to the border city. I'm afraid we'll arrive too late and Fantian will lose his life."

"Young master, please sit securely. I'm going to start racing now."

"I'm settled, Uncle Zhang, please go ahead quickly."

As soon as Lin Zaozao finished speaking, the carriage under her buttocks sped forward rapidly.
