Madam General, please run slower.

Compared to Wu Yan's sentimentality, Yu Xun was obviously much calmer. "If she really didn't do this, then our situation would be very dangerous."

Wu Huang: "General, what you mean is..."

Yu Xun nodded and said, "There is a spy in the Yu family army, and we are completely unaware of it.

Wu Yan also realized the seriousness of the problem. "Those who participated in the plan that day were all veterans. They had all followed the old general all the way here. Would they really betray the Yu family army?"

"The human heart is hard to predict." Yu Xun said solemnly. Those people were his father's soldiers. They believed in his father's ability, but not necessarily in him. When he first took over the Yu Family Army, he went to the battlefield every time in order to prove himself to them, which took a lot of effort.

"You are in good health now, so take a good rest. I will take care of these things." Yu Xun patted Wu Huang's shoulder comfortingly, forced him to rest, and then got up and left.

Yu Xun did not return to the camp to look at the headache-inducing military affairs, but stood up and walked towards Cuilan City. The night breeze, with the sweet smell of the sea, made Yu Xun's messy mind a little clearer.

The refugees on the street were sitting together in groups of three or four, dozing off. Fortunately, the weather had warmed up, and with the care of the Yu family army, their days were not too difficult. The sleepy child was so scared when he saw a figure flashing on the street that he hid in a corner. But when he saw clearly that the tall figure was Yu Xun, he excitedly woke up his companions.

Look, it's the general! The general who gave them food!

Yu Xun noticed the burning gazes cast on him, and turned around to see a few little kids huddled in the corner. Yu Xun casually handed over a few copper coins in his arms, "I'm in a hurry to go out, so I only brought these, you can share them."

The older child looked at the copper coin in Yu Xun's hand, stopped his brother who was about to reach out to take it, and shook his head and refused to take it.

He had also heard about the defeat of the Yu family army in the past few days. The general must be very tired recently, otherwise he would not come out to relax so late at night. The general has done enough for them, and they can't ask the general for money anymore.

It was also the first time that Yu Xun saw someone who didn't want money. All the copper coins in his hand were stuffed into his arms without giving him any chance to refuse.

The younger child watched Yu Xun leave, and looked at his brother in confusion, "Brother, this money is enough for us to buy several steamed buns, why don't you want it?"

The older boy helplessly counted the copper coins in his arms, "I heard that the steamed buns and rice porridge we were given these days were all bought by the general with his own money from other places. How can we still ask the general for money?"

"There are thirteen here. The four of us can take two each. The remaining five coppers can be used to buy medicine for my younger sister."

"I don't want it." The thinnest girl in the corner shook her head and refused. "This is given by the general to everyone. We have to share it."

The other two boys had no objection to the eldest brother's suggestion. After taking their two copper coins, they obediently curled up next to him and prepared to sleep.

"You still have a fever. There's no point in objecting." After the older child distributed the money, he carefully wrapped up the remaining five copper coins. He thought that he would not be kicked out if he went to see the doctor tomorrow.

"I don't want it. I can get better by sleeping, so I don't want to waste money." The little girl was very stubborn. Her frail body had already caused them too much trouble along the way. It would be easier if she died of the illness directly.

"If you are sick, you should take medicine!" The older child's tone also became a little more serious.

Seeing that the younger sister was still trying to be stubborn, the other two children came over to stop the fight.

Just as the two were about to start arguing, a voice came out of nowhere and interrupted them.

"Would you like to play a game?"

"Ah!!!" Several people were so scared that they huddled together and screamed, but unexpectedly found that they had lost their voices.

The older child stretched out his hand to block the crowd, looked at the man in front of him who was only a few years older than him, calmed down for a moment, and pointed at his mouth.

"Smart man." Li chuckled and snapped his fingers.

"Uh." After realizing that he had regained his voice, the older child looked at the refugees around him and estimated the chances of success if he shouted for help.

"What game do you want to play?" the older child asked cautiously.

"It's very simple." Li took out two silver ingots, "I'll give you money to go to Chaozhou and see if you have the ability to live until the next time you see me."

The bright silver made them feel dizzy, but they couldn't take their eyes off it for a long time.

The older child asked cautiously, "What about the request?"

"Work for me, sign a contract."

"We need to discuss this..." Several people looked at each other, all hesitant. In this world, it was a good thing for someone to ask them to work, which meant they could survive. But the mysterious and gloomy girl in front of them frightened them.

Li waved his hand nonchalantly, "We can talk about this after you really survive. First, let's talk about this survival game in Chaozhou. Do you want to play?"

The older child turned around and whispered something to a few people, then nodded in agreement, "Play!"

"Your courage is commendable." Li chuckled and threw the silver in his hand to him.

The older boy had never received so much money before, and his hands couldn't help shaking with excitement. The two boys next to him also tried hard to resist the urge to touch it.

Only the girl looked at Li with a complicated look in her eyes. She coughed a few times to suppress the restlessness in her throat before asking, "Sister, why are you helping us? Aren't you afraid that we will run away?"

This little bit of money was life-saving money for them, but for Qu Tangli, who was the ninth princess, it was nothing at all.

Li looked at the girl who was talking and hooked her finger, "Come here."

After hearing what Li said, several boys quickly came to their senses and blocked the person behind them in a protective manner.

The older child explained, "My younger sister is confused because of the fever. Don't worry, young lady. We will keep our word and will never run away."

The other two nodded in agreement, muttering, "Those who don't keep their word are bad kids, they are good kids."

"I'm talking to her. The choice is hers." Li spoke softly, but was confident that the girl would come towards her.

As Li expected, the little sister bent down, walked around their protective circle, and staggered towards Li.

The older child wanted to pull her back, but remembering Li's magical power that could make them speechless, he did not dare to act rashly. He could only stare at Li's movements.

Li pulled her wrist, and the others saw that the moment she raised her hand, several silver needles appeared on the girl's head. At such a close distance, they couldn't even see how she did it.

This person is very dangerous! The older child frowned and reached out to pull the girl back.

"Don't move." Li gave the man a light glance, which frightened him to the point of being stunned.

Li gathered spiritual power between his fingers, twisted the silver needle and pulled it out. After doing all this, he patted the girl's head gently, "Okay, you can sleep well tonight."

A cool feeling spread from head to toe, and the girl immediately felt her body relaxed. She looked at Li gratefully, "Thank you~"

"Eat well. Seeking death is a sign of cowardice. If you don't want to be a burden, you must work hard to become stronger." After Li finished talking to her, he turned around and disappeared into the night.

When they saw the mysterious woman leave, they breathed a sigh of relief and came forward to show their concern for their friend.

"Are you feeling unwell?" the older child asked worriedly.

The girl shook her head, turned around and pulled out two whole steamed buns from the corner. She didn't care about the black dust on them and started to eat them. But tears flowed down her cheeks, and the sobs in her throat made it particularly difficult for her to swallow every time.

With Yu Xun around, the city lord would give these refugees some rice porridge and steamed buns every day, one at noon and one at night. Seeing her like this, she must have not eaten for the whole day carrying them on her back.

The older child immediately understood what the woman meant by seeking death, and quickly dug out the hidden kettle, "I still have some clean water, drink slowly."

The younger boy looked at the big steamed bun in her hand and drooled. Seeing that his two brothers were trying to comfort her, he quickly took out the half steamed bun that he had hidden away because he was afraid of being hungry at night, "Don't worry, don't worry, I have more here if it's not enough!"

"Wow." As if stimulated by his action, the girl couldn't help crying out loud, but she was afraid of affecting the people around her, so she could only cover her mouth.

With everyone's whispered consolation, the little girl calmed down and looked at the older child with determination in her eyes, "Big brother, let's go to Chaozhou."

"Okay, let's go together."
