Xiao Jian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked at Song Muqing's face. After a while, he suddenly said:
"I've met Mrs. Song."
Qin Ming glanced at the two of them with some confusion and asked:
"Do you know each other?"
Xiao Jian nodded and said:
"We had a chance encounter."
"Oh, by the way, General Qin joined the army, and I am here to inform you on the orders of the general manager."
"The army will march towards Yuzhong at midnight tomorrow. The general manager ordered Qin Cangan's army to leave ten military doctors to take care of the wounded in the city. The rest will march towards Yuzhong City at six o'clock tomorrow at the latest. By then, the general manager will leave three thousand infantry to escort Qin Cangan's army. "
Qin Ming nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"I hope Brother Xiao will tell the chief manager after he returns that Qin will leave for Yuzhong on time tomorrow morning."
Xiao Jian cupped his hands towards Qin Ming and said:
"Since the order has been delivered, the general will not disturb Qin Shenjun. He will take his leave and return to the government office to resume his duties."
Qin Ming nodded, then glanced left and right, and said to the guards on the side:
"Sixth Son, send Captain Xiao off for me."
The bodyguard heard the words and bowed in response.
At this moment, Song Muqing on the side bit her lip lightly, stepped forward, saluted Qin Mingying, and said:
"Mr. Lang, it's better for me to go see my benefactor off."
Qin Ming nodded and said:
"Then there's Lady Lao Song."
Wait until the two of them leave,
The taciturn Mu Yi walked up to Qin Ming, bowed and said:
"Sir, please call your subordinates over. What do you want me to do?"
Qin Ming asked straight to the point:
"I have a narrow escape mission here. Would you like to take it on?"
Mu Yi was stunned for a moment, then patted his chest and said loudly:
"I am willing to die for you."
Qin Ming nodded with satisfaction and then said:
"Now Lanzhou City may have been tricked by the enemy into causing the smallpox plague. Therefore, I need you to take the Muzi team out of the city to Lanzhou tomorrow."
"In addition to exploring the location of the enemy's main force and supplies, I also need you to sneak into Lanzhou City with one or two people, find General Cheng and others, and inoculate them with cowpox."
Mu Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said with a smile:
"Sir, how can you escape from a narrow escape in this mission of yours? It's simply too difficult for someone to do."
"Whether you ask your subordinates to inquire about the enemy's information or sneak into Lanzhou City, these are what the Muzi Squad is best at, and I am happy to go. But if you ask your subordinates to be vaccinated with cowpox, isn't this embarrassing you? Subordinates I’m not a doctor, so how do I know that?”
Qin Ming patted Mu Yi on the shoulder and said:
"Vaccination of cowpox is very simple. Come, I will teach you how to identify cowpox first, and when Dean Sun comes later, I will teach you how to vaccinate."
"However, you kid, don't just talk big words. If you get nothing by then and you still can't enter Lanzhou City, let's see how I deal with you."
Mu Yi chuckled and said:
"Don't worry, sir, our Muzi team members can even climb up cliffs that are tens of feet long. Compared with this, Lanzhou City is a piece of cake and not worth mentioning."
Qin Ming nodded slightly, and then said with a serious face:
"There are now Tuyuhun and Dangxiang cavalry all over Lanzhou. You must be careful tomorrow."
"Also, although all of you have been vaccinated with cowpox, you should still be more careful after entering the city and try to minimize contact with those who have smallpox."
"Furthermore, your own safety is the top priority in everything. If something cannot be done, there is no harm in retreating."
Mu Yi's heart warmed up when he heard this, he nodded with a smile and said:
"I understand, sir. Thank you for your love and care."
Qin Ming nodded, pulled Mu Yi to a cow and squatted down.
"Come, look carefully, these are cowpox."
...
On the other side, Song Muqing was walking on the corridor, glancing at Colonel Xiao from the corner of his eye from time to time.
When there were two more corners to reach the door of the mansion, Song Muqing summoned up the courage and asked:
"My benefactor, how are you doing lately?"
Xiao Jian nodded and said:
"fine."
There was some indifference and alienation in the voice.
This can't be blamed on Xiao Jian, after all, in his opinion.
The lady of the Song family in front of her could throw herself into the arms of a man she had known for only a few days in broad daylight.
Based on this alone, Xiao Jian could tell that this woman was definitely not a good person.
Song Muqing pursed her lips, then stopped, gave Xiao Jian a blessing, and said:
"My benefactor's life-saving grace will never be forgotten by this little girl. From now on, whenever my benefactor asks for anything, the Song Mansion will never refuse."
Xiao Jian kept walking, and his figure quickly passed by Song Muqing.
"No need. I am a soldier of the Tang Dynasty. With a salary from the imperial court, I naturally have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting our country."
"Xiao just did her duty, Madam Song, don't worry about it. If Madam Song has to thank one person, let's thank the pilgrim saint."
After saying that, Xiao Arrow walked in the direction he came from without even looking back.
Hearing this, Song Muqing felt a little disappointed.
By the time she came to her senses, Xiao Jian's figure had disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Song Muqing sighed, bowed in the direction where Xiao Jian disappeared, and said:
"My little girl sends you to your benefactor. I wish him good luck in martial arts."
After saying that, Song Muqing turned around and walked back, but as soon as she took two steps, the voices of two women came from behind.
"Hey, Mrs. Song?"
"Lady."
Song Muqing turned around and saw the maid Xiaodie running towards him.
Behind Xiaodie were Baili Niangzi, Miaoying Zhenren and Zi Shu.
Seeing this, Song Muqing quickly saluted Baili Zhi and Sun Simiao.
"I, I would like to pay my respects to Master Sun, Lady Baili."
Sun Simiao and Baili Zhi each returned a salute.
Immediately, Baili Zhi asked:
"Ms. Song, could you please lead us to the mountain chief?"
Song Muqing nodded, then turned sideways, opened his palms and pointed forward, saying:
"Master Sun, Lady Baili, please come this way."
....
Half a quarter of an hour later, Baili Zhi and his party arrived at the courtyard where the cowshed was located.
Sun Simiao walked to Qin Ming with excitement on his face and asked:
"Shan Zhang, Pindao has brought the silver needles and alcohol you asked for. Let's start the vaccination with cowpox now."
Qin Ming smiled and nodded.
At this time, Baili Zhi stepped forward, handed the medicine box in her hand to Qin Ming and said:
"Chief Shan, everything is inside."
Qin Ming took the medicine box and took out the silver needle and alcohol from it.
Immediately, he cleaned the silver needle with alcohol, and then handed the alcohol to Baili Zhi.
"You rub some alcohol on your wrists, and I will be at the spot where you wipe them later to vaccinate you with cowpox."
After saying that, Qin Ming gave Mu Yi a look and motioned for him to follow him to the bullpen.
Sun Simiao was also curious about vaccination with cowpox, so he wiped alcohol on his arm and followed him into the cowshed.
Qin Ming squatted down, pointed at the cow’s belly and said:
"These are cowpox."
"It's actually very simple to vaccinate. You just need to prick its skin with a silver needle, dip it in some cowpox liquid, and then prick it on the person."
With that said, Qin Ming twisted the silver needle and quickly pricked the cowpox.
Sun Simiao and Bai Lizhi had seen the specific details in the epidemic prevention manual written by Qin Ming, so they were not surprised by this.
On the contrary, Song Muqing's master and servant, who didn't know why, were a little stunned when they heard this.
Sun Simiao quickly handed over his arm and said eagerly:
"Come, inoculate me first. I will record all my feelings after being vaccinated with cowpox."
Qin Ming nodded, then grabbed Sun Simiao's wrist and stabbed it upward.
