Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 144 Zhou Baopi

Xiao Guoer was impressed by the Eighth Prince's careful observation and meticulousness, and took the opportunity to exaggerate her own hard work and dedication, "Your Highness, it's not a problem. There are just many villages, the distance is long, and the roads are difficult to travel. I walked a lot and accidentally got my skin rubbed, but it's not a big deal."

Zhao Yunrong rolled his eyes slightly and glanced at him calmly, "Since it's so hard, why not give up looking for the cause of the plague? Tomorrow I'll find someone to seal off those villages, so you don't have to suffer any more."

Xiao Guo'er's expression froze, and she quickly smiled flatteringly, expressing her attitude and loyalty, "It's not hard, it's not hard! Your Majesty has misunderstood. I am happy to serve you. Please don't deprive me of the opportunity to serve you!"

There was a barely perceptible smile on the corners of Zhao Yunrong's eyes and eyebrows.

Flatterer!

"What's going on today?"

Xiao Guo'er's smile paused, with a hint of embarrassment. She was careful with her words as she spoke, "Your Highness, after a whole day of observation, I have concluded that the cause of the plague is related to that green mountain. As far as I know, half of the villages at the foot of that green mountain have been attacked by the plague, and once you leave the range of that green mountain, the plague will no longer spread. So I boldly guess that there may be some factors on that mountain that caused the outbreak of the plague."

Zhao Yunrong pondered for a long while before asking, "If it's because of the things on the mountain, then why didn't the other half of the village at the foot of the mountain get infected with the plague?"

"This... I haven't found the reason yet, but... I plan to go up the mountain tomorrow to see if I can find anything."

Zhao Yunrong nodded, showing concern for his subordinates' safety. "The roads in the mountains are difficult to travel, and there may be wild beasts. Bring a few skilled guards. Mr. Tang has an important mission to accomplish, and he must not be in danger, let alone get into trouble."

Xiao Guo'er hung her head and pursed her lips. It seemed that her life was not worth mentioning and it didn't matter that she deserved to die!

With a hint of reluctant indignation, he lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and said in a submissive manner, "Yes, I obey your command!"

"Go back."

"Yes."

When Xiao Guoer was about to return to her room, she saw a slender and familiar figure passing by and walking towards the Eighth Prince's courtyard.

"Miss Qingqing."

Wu Qingqing turned around when she heard the voice, a smile appeared in her eyes, and she replied softly, "Young Master."

Xiao Guoer looked at the food box in her hand, understood, and asked with a smile, "Are you going to send food to the Eighth Prince again?"

Wu Qingqing nodded shyly. Actually, she didn't have to bring these foods to the Eighth Prince. It was just that since she was kicked out of the room by him that night, she and her mother were not punished or treated coldly by her father. So she felt a little grateful to this prince who seemed cold on the outside.

She didn't know what to do to express her gratitude, so she just sent some food from time to time.

Although Xiao Guoer lamented how such a charming little beauty could be so stubborn in falling in love with that cold-blooded man who regarded human life as worthless, she did not meddle in other people's business and say anything more.

After a brief greeting, the two went their separate ways.

After Xiao Guoer returned to the room, she collapsed on the bed and spread her arms and legs.

After sighing for a while, she thought about her plans and arrangements for tomorrow.

The terrain on that mountain is steep, so we need to find a local villager who is familiar with the terrain.

Since that cold-blooded Eighth Prince has spoken, she and Jingchen should bring a few skilled guards with them tomorrow. It would be a waste if they are not used!

Just when I was dozing off, there was knock on the door again!

Xiao Guoer felt like there was a string in his brain that was on the verge of breaking!

Just before she was about to swear again, the door was pushed open...

Maybe he thought they were all men and there was nothing to worry about, so he just barged in without waiting for her to open the door!

Xiao Guoer sat up in panic, her eyes wide open, watching in horror as Shen Jing pushed the door open and strode towards her. When he was three steps away from her bed, he suddenly stopped, and then threw the medicine bottle in his hand towards her.

Shen Jing's voice was still cold, as if someone owed him eight hundred taels of silver, and it carried a hint of chilliness, "The Eighth Prince gave you the ointment, and ordered you to apply it, so as not to delay tomorrow's work."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Xiao Guo'er to respond, he turned around and left without hesitation. His movements were quick and decisive, leaving behind the heavily closed door with a loud bang.

Xiao Guoer's body shook, and she frowned. She picked up the medicine bottle and took a look. She was glad that she hadn't taken off her clothes to sleep, and then she couldn't help cursing in her heart.

Is this Eighth Prince Zhou Baopi? And does Shen Jing know how to be polite? !

Neither the master nor the servant is heartless!

Xiao Guoer threw the medicine bottle aside and ignored it. Jingchen had of course applied the medicine to her, and she didn't need anyone else's false kindness!

He endured the pain, climbed up, locked the door, then took off his clothes and lay back on the bed with peace of mind.

He fell asleep in a daze, feeling endless resentment and curses towards the Eighth Prince and Shen Jing.

But the next day, when she and Jingchen were getting ready to go, they saw the Eighth Prince and his guards riding on horses and following them.

Facing the astonishment of Xiao Guoer and Tang Jingchen, Zhao Yunrong said calmly, "I will go and take a look myself, so that you will not miss important information without knowing it."

This is simply saying: Your IQ is not high enough, I don't trust your abilities, so let me, a very smart prince, take a look!

Xiao Guoer followed behind the narcissistic, arrogant and high-handed Eighth Prince and rolled her eyes silently.

No matter whether he looks down on their intelligence or not, one more person means more strength. It would be great if the Eighth Prince could personally find out the cause of the plague!

After all, this meticulous and cunning Eighth Prince, besides being fond of scheming, must also have a very high IQ.

This time, the group did not go to Shanglin Village or other villages infected with the plague. Instead, they went to the other side of the mountain and found three villagers in a village that was not infected with the plague to lead the way.

These three villagers often go up the mountain to hunt, and it would be much easier with them leading the way.

Xiao Guoer learned from them that there were wild boars, wolves, pheasants and rabbits on the mountain. Villagers often went up the mountain to hunt and also made traps to hunt.

It shouldn't be a plague caused by wild game, otherwise half of the village would be infected while the other half would be fine.

So what is on this mountain that can infect only half of the villagers with the plague?

The mountain was very large, so the group split into three groups, with one villager following a small group, and each group had six people.

Of course Xiao Guoer is with Tang Jingchen.
