Chapter 181 Small Tribes Surrender

Those who finished their porridge first started lining up to get medicine.

Long Erjiu was holding a large soup spoon, and her expression could not be seen clearly under the mask.

Three of the pots used for cooking porridge next to them have been vacated for cooking medicine.

Doctor Gu held the medicine, sniffed it gently, and took a sip to savor it carefully.

After a while, he slapped his thigh and said, "Great! Why didn't I think of using the medicine this way!"

When everyone saw him like this, they became more certain that there was nothing wrong with the medicine.

Li Niang hurried forward and got two bowls, then took them home.

Song Dachui lying on the bed had recovered some strength and was trying to sit up. Li Niang hurried forward and carefully placed the medicine on the table.

"Da Hammer, you will be fine after taking the medicine. Doctor Gu said that this medicine is effective for your condition." A rare smile appeared on her face.

Song Dachui took a few deep breaths, then took Li Niang's hand and drank up the bitter medicine soup in the bowl.

When Li Niang saw that he had finished drinking, she picked up her own bowl and gulped it down.

Song Dachui fell into a deep sleep. Li Niang looked out from the gate of the yard and confirmed that the caravan had not left. She breathed a sigh of relief and went back to the house to lie down.

For five consecutive days, the people in Wancheng spent their time queuing up on time to get porridge and medicine.

After five days, those with mild symptoms could clearly feel their bodies recovering, and those with severe symptoms did not continue to deteriorate.

No one in the city died of the plague anymore.

Seeing that the progress was almost stabilized, on the sixth day, Long Si conveyed the news to the people of Wancheng that the caravan was about to leave for the next city.

However, they will leave behind food and medicinal materials, as well as a map of the route to Taoyuan City.

If they want to go to Taoyuan City, they can follow the route map.

If you are worried about accidents on the road, you can wait for the next wave of caravan and go with them.

Afterwards, Long Si left behind one thousand kilograms of rice and one thousand kilograms of coarse grains, two thousand kilograms of black bread, and three carts of prepared medicinal materials for Doctor Gu.

None of these caravans collected money.

Just before the caravan entered the second city, someone found a bundle of small change and copper coins in a carriage, as well as a sincere letter of thanks.

These silver coins were collected by the people of Wancheng when they learned that they were leaving. Although they could not compare to the grace of saving their lives, they were also a token of their gratitude.

Long Si did not ask anyone to send it back, nor did he say anything more. Instead, he placed the package properly together with the other packages.

These are the gifts he wants to take back for the girl.

……

……

Taoyuan City, Central District, Chaoxinyuan.

Pan Yingying sneezed.

Yu Chaosheng and Batian looked up at the same time, and Lumei quickly took a thick cloak from the side and put it on her.

It had been five days since they returned to Taoyuan City, and Yu Chaosheng even couldn't sleep at night.

From the day they returned to Taoyuan City, the city began to prepare for war.

The city gates were closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Every household sharpened their weapons whenever they had free time, just to be able to protect their city and their families when the Tartars came.

"Girl, there is a man outside the city who calls himself Ake and wants to see you." Honglian walked into the house with her sledgehammer in her hand.

In recent days, she and Lumei took turns guarding the west gate, where the Tatars were most likely to attack.

And Ake asked for a meeting at the west gate.

Pan Yingying didn't remember who A Ke was, but Lu Mei reacted, "Oh, it's that prisoner! The prisoner who exchanged a lot of horses for us!"

After she was reminded of this, Pan Yingying remembered that it seemed to be the leader of the Tal tribe. After that time, they had secretly come to exchange a lot of things.

I just don't know what he is doing now.

"Let him in." Pan Yingying said softly, and put the half-read melodramatic storybook into the kang cabinet. Yu Chaosheng curled his lips, put down the half-read military book, followed Pan Yingying out of the house, and went to the reception room outside.

Not long after, Ake walked into the reception room in the outer courtyard of Chaoxinyuan in the snow.

When he saw Pan Yingying, his knees went weak and he fell to the ground with a thump.

"Da Wa! Please save our Tal tribe!"

His forehead hit the concrete floor heavily, making a dull sound.

Several people in the reception room were startled by Ak's sudden action.

Pan Yingying raised her hand, and Honglian and Lumei hurried forward, pulling the person up from the left and right.

Ake's forehead was red and swollen, and a big bump appeared in the blink of an eye.

"Tell me whatever you have to say slowly. We'll solve the problem together." Pan Yingying said softly. She felt that this child was too honest. He kowtowed so hard, but he was not afraid of a concussion.

Ak's tears flowed down his cheeks and he wiped them several times with the sleeves of his cotton jacket.

This cotton-padded jacket was something he had exchanged for in Taoyuan City before, and he had never been willing to wear it. Today he wore it for the first time to see his Dawa.

"Da Wa, we really can't survive any longer. Please unify the grassland as soon as possible!"

Pan Yingying: ???

other people:? ? ?

Everyone present: ...Huh?

Ak wiped his face again.

"General Su Ge wants to start a war. He wants us small tribes to attack Taoyuan City, but we don't want to fight."

"He told us that we had to fight, otherwise he would drive us out of the grassland."

"We, we really can't survive..."

Several maids and servants in Chaoxin Garden had come into contact with the people of the Tar tribe, especially Bisheng and Shitou. They knew that Ake should not have lied.

In the past, several tribes were indeed forced to come to fight, but nothing happened afterwards. They also brought a lot of horses and sheep to Taoyuan City to exchange for supplies, and sent a few sheep to Chaoxinyuan.

Every time, he would throw the bleating sheep towards the gate of Xinyuan without saying a word and run away.

Everyone has a good impression of him, so Hongmei was willing to help inform them.

Yu Chaosheng stroked his chin and an idea came to his mind.

The grassland tribes are good at breeding, so they can be arranged to raise sheep and horses in the east area.

He looked at Pan Yingying, and the other person's eyes expressed the same idea.

Pan Yingying asked softly, "When will they come to fight us?"

Ak sniffed, "Five days later."

Pan Yingying nodded. Five days should be enough time for several small tribes to rush into the city.

"Are you willing to come to Taoyuan City? Become my citizen."

Ak's eyes suddenly lit up.

He really didn't expect that there would be such a good thing on this trip.

Obviously, his original idea was to ask Dawa to quickly unify the grassland and end the endless war.

"Yes! We are willing! All seven of our tribes are willing to become your citizens!"

Ake was so excited that he was shaking all over, and he wished he could join Taoyuan City right now.

But he still had to go back and inform others.

Pan Yingying smiled slightly, and using her sleeves to cover herself, she took out a wooden plaque with the words "Taoyuan" engraved on it from the space.

Lumei stepped forward, took the wooden sign and handed it to Ake.

"Take this wooden sign and bring the people you want to come into the city within four days. We will not wait for you after that time because we still have to resist Su Ge." Pan Yingying whispered, "But I don't want this matter to spread to Su Ge."
