~ DON’T TALK NONSENSE ~

The guards hurried to protect the Imperial Physicians’ carriage.

Yue Wang leaped to Mu Yunyao’s side and brandished the long sword in his hand tightly and airtight, knocking down the arrows that were shooting at him and protecting her as they hid behind the horse carriage.

“Fourth Master?” Seeing that Yue Wang had just sent her to the back of the carriage and was about to turn around, Mu Yunyao worriedly called out.

“It’s fine. Wait for me here.” Yue Wang pressed down on Mu Yunyao’s shoulder, his cold voice bringing with it a sense of comfort. Then, he turned around and walked into the darkness.

The Imperial Physicians’ hearts rose to their throats. What was going on with Guancheng City? Why, as they heard the order came to treat the victims, they didn’t cheer up, but they actually were going to kill them?

Mu Yunyao clenched her fist tightly as she focused on listening to the movement outside. From time to time, the sounds of weapons clashing could be heard. After about fifteen minutes, the arrows suddenly stopped, and the sound of a city gate opening could be heard.

Soon enough, Yue Wang walked out with his men. “It’s fine now. All the Imperial Physicians, please prepare to enter the city.”

Mu Yunyao quickly stepped forward to size up Yue Wang. Seeing that he wasn’t injured, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. “Fourth Master, what’s going on?”

“The order given by the Guancheng Governor, who should be the should be Jin Wang’s men. He has already been beheaded by me.”

“Fourth Master is taking too much risk. You don’t even know the situation. How could you dare to rush in? If the enemy is prepared or unwilling to open the gate, how you will protect yourself when the time comes?” Mu Yunyao was infuriated in her heart. This person always charged at the very front as if he didn’t care about his own safety.

Yue Wang was taken aback. Yue Wang initially wanted to say he was confident, but when Yue Wang turned his head and saw Mu Yunyao’s gaze, he suddenly stopped talking. He held Mu Yunyao’s hand and clasped his fingers tightly with hers, and spoke with a gentle and warm voice in a slightly suppressed voice, “Yao’er, it’s my fault. I won’t be like this next time.”

He was used to fighting with his life on the line. After so many years in western Guangdong, he had been in this way. Especially when he was young, the brave won when they met enemies on a narrow road. If he had hesitated, he would have died a long time ago.

However, he had forgotten that he was no longer alone. He had Mu Yunyao, someone behind him who was worried about his safety and looked forward to his return. This feeling was as if he had tied a rope around his body. Perhaps in the eyes of others, it was the feeling of being bound and burdened. However, he felt that he had finally had a foundation and a reason to cherish his own life.

Mu Yunyao gripped his fingers tightly, wanting to use this as punishment. However, no matter how hard she squeezed his hand, she couldn’t make him show any pain. Instead, her fingers turned red.

Yue Wang couldn’t help but laugh as he turned his head and poked the space between her eyebrows with his finger: “Idiot.”

Mu Yunyao glared at him.

The Imperial Physicians hurriedly accelerated their steps into the city under the escort of the guards. When Yue Wang got along with Princess Wenxian, they always felt jealous and envious, and they couldn’t help but want to stay two steps away. That kind of feeling is hard to describe. Anyway, it’s good to look at them from a distance when they talk. But, it’s easy to get psychological imbalance when they are close.

Upon entering the city, the city guards were replaced immediately by the guards brought by Yue Wang.

After walking a distance, Mu Yunyao suddenly frowned and turned to look at Yue Wang, “Fourth Master, why do I feel that there’s someone around?”

Yue Wang nodded, “Indeed, there are many of them.”

Just as he finished his sentence, a group of civilians holding hoes, sickles and sticks rushed out. Torches lit up, and the faces of those people were filled with anger, “Who are you, people? Are you here to kill people infected with the plague?”

Yue Wang looked at the man who spoke: “Who do you want us to be?”

“Stop talking nonsense. Quickly tell me, are you here to kill the people infected with the plague?”

One of the Imperial Physicians couldn’t help but say, “We’re not. We’re physicians. We’re here to save people.”

“Impossible!” The Imperial Court has already ordered the citizens of Yishui City to be hanged. Now that the people in our city are infected with the plague, the Imperial Court will not let us off!” The leader of the men shouted in anger. The commoners behind him were raised various weapons in their hands as their faces filled with grief and rage.

“All of you get out. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being impolite.”

Yue Wang furrowed his brows and was about to say something when he saw Mu Yunyao take two steps forward and ask, “Do you want us to kill those civilians infected by the plague, or do you want us to come and save them?”

“Save people? How are you going to save people? With just you few, how can you save people?” Many of the citizens’ faces were sorrowful. Some of them even started to wipe away their tears.

When people started to get infected with the plague, the entire city started to panic. The citizens angrily surrounded the Governor, hoping that the Governor would kill those infected with the plague. They thought this would save them from the disaster. However, some of the infected citizens were enraged, and someone took advantage to escape while the guards were not paying attention and dripped their blood into the well.

After that, more and more people were infected, and the entire Guancheng City fell into despair and fear. They had heard that people in Yucheng City were trapped to death. At that time, there were many healthy people in it. They were not infected with the epidemic, but in the end, they also died.

Fortunately, the Governor’s words calmed them down. They had to work together and save themselves. If anyone broke into Guancheng City, they had to drive them out. In that case, they might have a chance of survival.

Mu Yunyao’s forehead twitched, and she tilted her head to test the wind. Taking the medicine box from Si Qin beside her, Mu Yunyao opened a pack of white powder and sprinkled it on the commoners blocking the path.

When the Imperial Physicians saw this, they hastily raised their sleeves to cover their mouths and noses, their eyes flashing with the look of someone watching a good show.

In the camp before, some people had been incited to gather and cause trouble. Finally, they were knocked down to the ground by a pack of medicine from Princess Wenxian. Then, regardless of whether those people were infected with the plague or were not, they all caught them and whipped them with a few sticks. Afterward, they were all honest. Of course, the thorn who took the lead in the trouble was beaten harder, and he still can’t get up.

“You … You evil woman, what methods did you use..?”

The Imperial Physicians secretly counted in their hearts. In less than five breaths, all the people blocking the way collapsed.

Mu Yunyao looked at the guard at the side. “Tie up their hands and feet. Interogated them tomorrow.”

“Yes.” The guards could not help but shake their heads. What are these people doing? They did not have enough manpower, so if they wanted to tie up so many people, they might not be able to rest in the middle of the night. After riding for a long time, they are also exhausted.

Yue Wang contacted the people he had set up in Guancheng City and found a place to stay for the time being. When the government offices are cleaned up tomorrow, they could move to the government offices.

After rushing for an entire day, with Yue Wang at her side to take care of everything, Mu Yunyao rested all night with peace of mind.

The next day, as soon as the sky was brightened, she was awakened by the noise outside. She frowned slightly, “Si Qin, is there trouble outside again?”
