Rebirth of a Lost Nation: Princess, Please Respect Yourself

Chapter 177 I'll Make the Decision for You

Before Jiang Lige came, the officers and soldiers said they were here to take care of the people. Perhaps the word "guard" would be more appropriate.

For several days, the victims had no place to stay and could only rest on a few relatively clean stones.

The officers and soldiers, however, set up several tents on their own, each with several quilts under it, for they were really afraid of getting hurt.

Now, for the sake of his own life, Captain Fan had no choice but to cooperate with Jiang Lige and ordered everyone to set up the tent in one night.

Jiang Lige's people are responsible for providing food and medical care to the victims.

The difference between before and after is so huge that the victims naturally remember Jiang Lige's kindness.

Several elderly uncles and aunts, unaware of Jiang Lige's identity, asked Shi Daizhi in a roundabout way whether Jiang Lige was married, which made Shi Daizhi laugh and cry.

After the victims had eaten their hot meals, Jiang Lige, who had been busy for most of the day, stood tiredly on the hill and looked down.

Everywhere you look, there is muddy flood water, and there is no trace of the bustling scene that once existed in this village.

"Aren't you afraid that he will retaliate against you?"

A clear voice suddenly sounded in his ears, bringing Jiang Lige back to his senses. It was Shi Daizhi.

What Jiang Lige gave Captain Fan to drink today was not poison at all, but a muscle softening powder that he took out from Shi Daizhi's medicine box for patients. It was normal for Captain Fan to feel weak in his hands and feet after drinking it.

Shi Daizhi only found out about this when Jiang Lige asked him for the antidote.

Jiang Lige has always been brave, but Shi Daizhi never expected that she would be so brave as to risk her own life.

"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Lige smiled nonchalantly. "People in border towns are very aggressive and aggressive. If you want them to obey, you have to be even more ruthless than them. We're new here, and if we don't hit them right away, it'll be difficult to get them to obey us later. If they continue to behave like before, the people will suffer."

Shi Daizhi thought for a moment, then said subtly, "As soon as I entered the city, I heard the story of Ning Yunxiao's generosity in winning over the hearts of the people. Now, your methods really make me look at you with new eyes."

Jiang Lige explained, "They are different. Even though Lü Er was causing trouble for the Crown Prince, his original intention was to do good for the people. Ultimately, everyone has the same goal. But these people don't care about the lives of the people at all. They only fight for themselves."

After hearing this, Shi Daizhi nodded and said nothing more.

Shi Daizhi happened to be here, which reminded Jiang Lige of something. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I've been feeling restless when I sleep these days. Could Doctor Shi take a look at me?"

"Okay."

When it comes to his own expertise, Shi Daizhi is very clear. He takes out a silk scarf and puts it on Jiang Lige's wrist, then carefully takes his pulse.

After a moment, Shi Daizhi removed the scarf and shook his head, saying, "The princess's pulse is fine. She might be tired from the bumpy journey. She should get some sleep when she has time. Also, her Qi and blood are a little low, but it's not a serious problem."

Hearing Shi Daizhi's diagnosis, Jiang Lige's heart sank again, but he suppressed his worry calmly and said with a smile, "I understand. Thank you, Doctor Shi."

"You're welcome."

After Shi Daizhi finished speaking, he explained some precautions "diligently and conscientiously", just like Tang Monk was alive.

Jiang Lige nodded occasionally at first to get by, but later he just listened with a blank expression.

Just before Jiang Lige was about to collapse, Shi Daizhi suddenly stopped talking. Jiang Lige was curious when he saw Shi Daizhi said with a complicated expression, "You guys chat."

Following Shi Daizhi's gaze, Jiang Lige ran straight into Ning Yunxiao's deep eyes.

"Sir."

Ning Yunxiao curled his lips and saw Jiang Lige rushing towards him like a bird, flapping its wings.

"Princess, is everything going well here?"

"Everything is going well..."

Before Jiang Lige could finish his answer, he saw the smile on Ning Yunxiao's face fade away instantly, and his eyes seemed to hide endless darkness, which was terrifying.

The next moment, Jiang Lige was held by Ning Yunxiao's neck. "Who is so bold?"

"..."

Jiang Lige realized belatedly that Captain Fan was in trouble. When he pinched himself, he really left no room for maneuver!

How could Jiang Lige withstand Ning Yunxiao's sharp gaze?

He had no choice but to tell Ning Yunxiao everything that happened today.

Then he saw Ning Yunxiao's face getting darker inch by inch.

"Prince, I..."

Before Jiang Lige could finish his words, he saw Ning Yunxiao raise his long legs, looking like he was going to cause trouble.

Seeing this, Jiang Lige hurried over to the man, blocked his way, and advised, "Sir, we are in urgent need of people right now. Although the death of that man surnamed Fan is not a pity, delaying disaster relief efforts for him would be more trouble than gain."

Ning Yunxiao remained silent, staring intently at Jiang Lige for a long moment. Seeing she showed no sign of backing down, he finally relented. "Alright, once the flood subsides, I'll give the princess an explanation for what happened today."

Jiang Lige smiled with a smile on his face, "Okay."

Ning Yunxiao's face still looked bad, and the further Jiang Lige walked, the more he walked out. Seeing this, Jiang Lige thought that Ning Yunxiao was going to cause trouble for Captain Fan, so he hurriedly grabbed Ning Yunxiao's sleeve and softly called him "Prince".

The voice was sweet and sweet, and Ning Yunxiao's heart softened when he heard it, and he couldn't help but soften his tone, "I'll go find Shi Daizhi to get some medicine, Princess, just wait."

"it is good."

Ning Yunxiao went to get the medicine, and Jiang Lige sat on the hill waiting for him.

Ning Yunxiao came back very quickly. Maybe this is the advantage of having long legs, Jiang Lige thought.

"It's not a top-notch plaster, but it's still effective. Conditions are poor right now, so Princess, just use this for now."

After Ning Yunxiao finished speaking, Jiang Lige nodded obediently and subconsciously reached out to take the ointment.

Ning Yunxiao dodged Jiang Lige's move with a flick of his hand, then skillfully opened the medicine cover and dipped his fingertips into some ointment. "Let me do it."

"Oh." Jiang Lige responded softly, tilted his neck to reveal the wound, and waited quietly.

The wound on the neck was not treated in time, leaving a black bruise, which looked scary but was actually not serious.

But even this not-so-serious injury caused Ning Yunxiao, who had been on the verge of life and death many times, to feel an uncontrollable tremor in his heart.

Jiang Lige, who waited for no action, looked sideways in confusion, and happened to meet Ning Yunxiao's tender eyes, "Prince?"

"Yes." Ning Yunxiao responded, and suddenly withdrew his hand, placing the ointment and a small bronze mirror in Jiang Lige's hand, "Princess, please do it yourself."

"..."

Jiang Lige was speechless, thinking that men's hearts were as unpredictable as the sea, but he did not reveal too much emotion. He took the ointment obediently and applied it clumsily in front of the bronze mirror.

He completely ignored Ning Yunxiao opposite him, whose ears were red and almost bloodshot.
