The General is Pregnant: His Majesty Abstinence and Sexual Devotion Every Night

Chapter 289: Anger

When Marquis Yongning said this, he thought the people below would express something, or at least show some emotion, but they didn't. They just knelt on the ground, raised their faces, listened to him coldly, and then continued with what they said when they first came.

Marquis Yongning was almost pissed off by these selfish people.

Seeing that they were still kneeling there, as if waiting for them to confess, Yongning Hou was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Zhang Wenlai was standing a few steps behind Yongning Hou. When the sharp-eyed people saw Zhang Wenlai, they were originally afraid of Yongning Hou, but now they looked as if it was natural, and their tone contained the confidence generated by Zhang Wenlai's arrival. "The city lord is here, the city lord will make the decision for us!"

Some people said this.

Zhang Wenlai felt cold in his heart when he heard these words.

The people had said this before, but that was before the plague. Now, at this moment, in this situation, Zhang Wenlai really wanted to ask the people how he should make the decision.

If we do as the people wish, will we all perish together?

This is impossible.

Zhang Wenlai tried to keep his face straight and reasoned with them as calmly as possible. He just said softly:

"Now you should listen to what the adults said just now. Stay at home and don't come out. Gathering and kneeling here is indeed more likely to cause infection. Before you leave, stand here honestly and wait for us to give you the inhibitory medicine. Then, take the medicine and go back quickly to wait for our news..."

Before Zhang Wenlai could even open his mouth to say the following words, he was rejected outright, and then he was questioned:

"What the city lord said, could it be that he doesn't want to care about us anymore and wants to give up on us?!"

Zhang Wenlai took a deep breath, fixed his eyes on the man who said this, and asked in a cold voice:

"Didn't you hear what I said later? I said that you should wait here first and go back after taking the medicine. If I don't want to take care of you, you can kneel here now. When I tell you to leave, you won't have medicine to drink. If you don't drink the medicine, you are very likely to get infected when you go back. Even if you kneel here to commit suicide, I won't bother to care about you. If I really don't care about you, you won't even have the chance to kneel here now. Do you know that!?"

In the end, he didn't even call himself "this official".

Damn it, Zhang Wenlai was almost pissed off to death by these people. The more he talked, the angrier he got!

"That's because you are such an incompetent official!" Zhang Wenlai: "?"

This voice sounds really familiar. The provocative words just now were said by this person.

At some point, Yongning Hou, who was standing behind Zhang Wenlai, looked at the person who said this. The man had an ordinary face, a short and thin figure, a hunched back, and looked like a petty and timid person. He narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Zhang Wenlai was so angry that he could not even think of anything else. He just wanted to kill the man with one knife. As for other things or what was wrong, he could not think of it at first.

When he reacted, he only saw a triumphant smile on the man's face.

As for where he succeeded, it was reflected in the fact that other people followed suit and said that he was a dog official and had no conscience.

Zhang Wenlai remained silent. Seeing that the villain had not gone far, he quickly asked the guards standing beside him to send him out to catch him. Even so, the atmosphere was chaotic. There were people all around, saying that he was useless as the city lord.

Zhang Wenlai looked up at the group of people below, with almost no expression on his face. He just stood there calmly, watching the people talking and cursing.

Upon seeing this, Marquis Yongning took a few steps forward, not knowing what to say. At the same time, he was so angry at the coercive tone of the people that he didn't know what to do.

But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was unlikely that these people would kneel on the ground spontaneously. Someone must have said something to these people in secret to guide them to do so.

Just like the villain just now.

There must be someone behind this.

For some reason, the first person that Yongning Hou thought of was Qi Anyi, a person they had forgotten for a long time.

He had been busy dealing with other issues in the city these days, so busy that he had no time to pay attention to this man. Even though he had doubts in his heart, he had no evidence.

His eyelids suddenly twitched, and he felt that something very bad had happened, something even worse than the current situation.

Marquis Yongning raised his eyes and looked at the originally empty space behind the group of people.

The empty space was now filled with people. They were not civilians, but a team with a discipline and a leader. There stood a group of people wearing the same gray clothes. They lined up neatly and had no emotions in their eyes. Although they all had masks on their faces, one could imagine that they were serious just by looking at their eyes.

Standing at the front of the group, a middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous dark purple robe with wide sleeves, with a hypocritical and kind smile in his eyes and his lower half covered tightly with arrogance and nobility, looked particularly abrupt.

As the group got closer, Yongning Hou and Zhang Wenlai could see the face of the man walking in front more clearly. It was Qi Anyi!

The expression on Marquis Yongning's face turned ugly and gloomy. The guards around him didn't know who Qi Anyi was, but seeing the expressions of the city lord and the marquis, they knew that this person must be no simple person. He lowered his eyes, thinking that it would be difficult to deal with next.

The distance between Qi Anyi and Yongning Hou Zhang Wenlai was separated by the people who were kneeling on the ground at the beginning.

These people originally had their backs to Qi Anyi, but when they heard some noise behind them, they turned around and subconsciously looked behind them.

At first, they all had expressions of vigilance and fear on their faces.

It was not until the man in purple robes said that there was a way to solve the current plague problem that the alert and fearful expressions on their faces disappeared instantly, and turned into expressions of surprise and expectation. They subconsciously moved closer to the middle-aged man in purple robes with a bit of flattery. Qi Anyi took a step back calmly, away from these people, but he said all kinds of hypocritical and extremely gentle words.

"The plague is both a disease and a poison. There is always an antidote for a poison. Coincidentally, I was able to send people to study the plague at the beginning, and not long ago, my subordinates figured out the solution to the plague. After all, they were one step ahead of our city lord."
