Jie Chen made a decision immediately.
He ordered several ships to hang chains on the fore and aft decks to anchor the vessels in slowly flowing sections of the river.
Jie Chen planned to take Xiang Ying to count the number of people infected with the plague on the ships behind them.
After thinking it over, Xiang Ying first went to find the Seventh Princess.
"Seventh sister, I need your help to count the number of infected people. You're fast and meticulous at this, and there's no one more suitable on board. But you will be facing a group of people infected with the plague. If you're unwilling, I can..."
Before Xiang Ying could finish, the Seventh Princess immediately expressed her willingness: "I am willing!"
She stood up, her eyes filled with eagerness.
"It would be an honor to help you, elder sister. I'm also grateful that you don't see me as useless and have been taking care of me all this way."
Xiang Ying nodded: "Good, then come with me."
