Chapter 167: Chapter 88: Trip to Chongqing (9) Successfully Enter the City, Meet Pang Nan_4

Pang Nan certainly knew in his heart.

But since he was under the orders of Chen Hezhi, even if he had his own opinions, they were rejected by Chen Hezhi.

Having no choice, he had to comply with the arrangements.

"Magistrate Pang, both His Highness and I know that you’re an upright official. In such circumstances, if you continue to be foolishly loyal, the ones who suffer are the citizens of Yuzhou City. Not to mention how many have died in Yuzhou City or how many die each day, just think of some Yuzhou citizens who escaped early on, thinking they could survive, only to become refugees and die on the road! With so many deaths, Magistrate Pang, how can you bear it in your heart?!"

Pang Nan’s emotions clearly shifted slightly.

He was clearer than anyone about the dire straits the citizens of Yuzhou were in during this time.

"Magistrate Pang, knowing that Chen Hezhi’s approach is wrong, yet you still follow his arrangements, this really isn’t called loyalty, it’s called foolishness. Foolishness that makes the common people suffer along with you!" Ye Qichi raised her voice somewhat.

Pointing at Pang Nan and scolding him like this seemed to have incurred the dissatisfaction of the officials and soldiers.

They looked as if they wanted to kill Ye Qichi on the spot.

"Stop!" Pang Nan stopped his subordinates and coldly said to Ye Qichi, "What can you possibly do to save the people here?! Even if you are His Highness, even if you’re the Princess, so what?! The Emperor is far away, and once inside Yuzhou City, if the Military Governor harbors any disrespect, you will only die here!"

"We are able to come in precisely because we have our means to rescue the citizens of Yuzhou City. It depends on whether Magistrate Pang is willing to help us."

"What method?"

"I can cure the plague," Ye Qichi articulated each word distinctly.

Pang Nan’s eyes tightened.

Although shocked by Ye Qichi’s statement, he also carried great distrust, "At the beginning of the plague in Yuzhou, countless doctors came to treat it. Not only did they not succeed, but many of them were infected and died, causing the doctors in Yuzhou City and its surrounding areas to flee ahead of time. No one dares to come here to treat the people anymore!"

In ancient times, medical technology simply couldn’t control the plague.

"And I have not yet heard that the Princess has medical skills," Pang Nan said clearly.

"Whether I understand medical skills or not, you will know once you try," Ye Qichi replied, "Magistrate Pang can bring out a patient for me to diagnose, or let me go to the isolated area for the plague. I’ll go there and examine them. If I cannot diagnose them well, it’s my lack of medical expertise, and Magistrate Pang doesn’t lose anything. But if the diagnosis is successful, it will save all the citizens!"

Such a proposal naturally made Pang Nan waver.

However, at that moment, "If you are truly the Princess, I absolutely cannot allow you to take such a great risk. The plague is extremely contagious, and if you were to be infected..."

"Then that’s my own choice," Ye Qichi interrupted him directly.

She also knew of Pang Nan’s loyalty.

"Magistrate Pang, I hope you will not have the mercy of a woman," Ye Qichi persuaded once more.

Pang Nan was silent and slowly said, "To take someone out from the quarantine area, even I can’t do it. Now the Military Governor himself oversees it; no one gets out. If I were to forcefully take someone away, this would only arouse the Military Governor’s suspicion."

"Then I’ll go in," Ye Qichi hastily said.

"Going in is too risky," Pang Nan responded, "Inside there are more than 800 people, at least 600 of them are infected. A small number remains, but they are mostly infected now as well. The danger for you going in is too great."

Just as Ye Qichi was about to persuade further.

"Come to my residence," Pang Nan suddenly said.

Ye Qichi frowned.

"I apologize for the inconvenience, please change into official garments and come with me to my residence," said Pang Nan.

Ye Qichi and Xiao Jinxing exchanged a glance.

Xiao Jinxing nodded slightly.

"Okay," Ye Qichi agreed without hesitation.

Pang Nan ordered two officials to exchange clothes with Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi.

Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi followed Pang Nan’s troops to Pang Nan’s residence.

Upon arriving at the residence.

Pang Nan led them straight to a secluded courtyard.

Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi were both somewhat surprised.

Pang Nan’s footsteps stopped at a courtyard.

The courtyard had its doors tightly closed.

Pang Nan disclosed, "At the early stages of the plague outbreak, my daughter went out to play and contracted the disease."

Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi were surprised.

They hadn’t expected that Pang Nan had hidden a plague patient in his own home.

"After two months of treatment, although she is still alive, her condition has never improved. The doctors said she may not survive these next few days," Pang Nan said with some emotional fluctuation, despite his toughness, "If you truly have exceptional medical skills, you can first try treating my daughter."

"Alright," Ye Qichi agreed without any hesitation and immediately went inside.

"You must think it through clearly; by entering, there is a high chance of infection. The two doctors inside have already been infected, and even the maids serving my daughter have fallen ill!" Pang Nan reminded her.

"Since I came to save others, I never thought about leaving alive for sure," Ye Qichi stated bluntly.

After dropping that remark, she pushed open the door and went inside.

Xiao Jinxing just watched Ye Qichi’s back.

He didn’t say a word, just watched her leave.

He was very clear that to earn Pang Nan’s trust, Ye Qichi’s actions were the best approach!

Even if he didn’t save Pang Nan’s daughter, Pang Nan would still be immensely grateful to them.

So.

He remained silent.

Silently watching as the door was firmly shut.

Ye Qichi had vanished from his sight just like that!
