Chapter 291

"My Lord, are we still going to stop it now?"

Zhang Wenlai looked at Qi Anyi, who seemed calm and gentle but was actually smug, and asked with a somewhat unwilling tone.

Yongning Hou didn't look at him, but turned around and went back to the City Lord's Mansion. Then he heard the following words:

"If we stop them now, you will see how the people who are trying to please them will come to your door and die with you. For now, let it go. Since someone is willing to do good things, why should we join in the fun? We can just wait and see later."

After he could no longer see the back of Yongning Hou, Zhang Wenlai turned around and glanced at Qi Anyi who was standing at the back of the crowd. Then he walked directly into the City Lord's Mansion. After he entered, he asked someone to close the door of the City Lord's Mansion.

Apart from the guards brought by Qi Anyi to the left side of the City Lord's Mansion, there were only the shouts and yells of the people. The main entrance of the City Lord's Mansion was completely quiet.

Qi Anyi looked at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. There was no one there. He stood there, looking at the people who were blocking the way not far away. He sneered softly. Seeing that his goal was almost half achieved, he had no need to continue to be a good guy here.

He took a last look at the people who were anxiously waiting for the medicine in his hand, thinking that even if they could escape the plague after drinking the medicine, they would die in half a month. Now it was just a temporary endurance. These people were still of some use at the moment. He comforted himself in this way, so Qi Anyi stood where he was, smiling as he watched these people drink the medicine without any image, some even drank every last drop.

He was somewhat satisfied.

As soon as Marquis Yongning returned to the City Lord's Mansion, he immediately called out a secret guard who was following him in the dark.

The secret guard was called out by Marquis Yongning and waited for his next instructions.

He didn't look up, but just lowered his head and listened to his master asking him to go out and trick Qi Anyi into bringing back a cup of liquid medicine.

That is to say, he was asked to pretend to be that group of people in order to get the medicine.

The guards responded repeatedly.

After Marquis Yongning finished giving the order, the secret guard immediately returned to the dark, tidied himself up, and went to the big corner on the left side of the City Lord's Mansion.

As soon as the secret guard left, Zhang Wenlai took Zhang Kai behind him and walked towards Yongning Hou.

Zhang Wenlai had a sad expression and seemed very unhappy, but Zhang Kaishi standing behind him had no expression at all, as if he was just passing by.

Yongning Hou raised his eyebrows and looked at the person standing behind Zhang Wenlai, and asked, "Is Zhang Kai done with his work?"

Everyone knew what Zhang Kai was busy with before, which was nothing more than the plague, medicinal materials, and the people.

When Zhang Kai heard Yongning Hou mention his name, his heart skipped a beat and he looked obviously uncomfortable, but he quickly regained his expression as if nothing had happened.

But the question still needs to be answered, Zhang Wenlai thought.

I only heard Zhang Kai whisper:

"My Lord, I don't have any, but looking at the current situation, even if I don't have any, I can't go anywhere. Moreover, the Lord City Lord wants to see me now, so I came here."

After saying this, Zhang Kai paused for a moment, then spoke again, with a calm expression on his face. He asked softly:

"I wonder who the man who passed by the Marquis was? Could it be that he wanted to get news from us, or someone else wanted to get news from us?"

Zhang Kai appears to be an honest man, but he is actually a lot more cheerful and cautious inside.

So doing this kind of thing is also easy.

He seemed to be testing, but Marquis Yongning had no direct evidence.

When he heard Zhang Kai's question, his expression remained gentle, but he would occasionally let out a light hum.

He was silent for just one or two seconds, and glanced at Zhang Kai who was lowering his head with a flickering look in his eyes, with an unclear emotion in his eyes. Then he replied with a bit of nonchalance:

"Of course they are the people around me. I just asked them to go to Li Laile to help him out."

Yongning Hou didn't tell the truth. He just answered a question that was not asked. Zhang Wenlai didn't express anything about this sentence, or it could be said that he didn't show any emotion. Logically speaking, this game was just enjoyable.

Zhang Kai smiled without changing his expression, then said jokingly that he would like to help together, and then focused all his attention on his own city lord.

Yongning Hou's image in the City Lord's Mansion has changed from being cold and stern at the beginning to being easy-going now, so many guards in the City Lord's Mansion or people of similar status to Zhang Kai would sometimes make some random jokes.

Zhang Kai glanced at the expression on Yongning Hou's face and saw that his expression remained unchanged, exactly the same as the expression he usually had when others looked at him jokingly. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He subconsciously went to find his city lord, but saw Zhang Wenlai running to the small pavilion opposite at some point, seemingly looking at something. Zhang Kai couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, and then hurried over to stand behind Zhang Wenlai, silently, without saying a word. Yongning Hou stood not far away and looked at the two of them, with a bit of gloom in his eyes, especially when he looked at Zhang Kai, his eyes became even darker.

Qi Anyi had finally managed to deal with these people. Now he was feeling very annoyed, so he left and returned to his original shabby little house.

Looking at the furnishings around him, he picked up the tea on the table and took a few sips. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart. These people would die sooner or later, so why should he be angry with these dead people?

Thinking of this, he felt a little more comfortable, and then he thought of Yongning Hou and Zhang Wenlai seeing his ugly face, and he couldn't help but feel even more relieved.

After enjoying himself, he put down the teacup in his hand and let the person outside in. Seeing the person in front of him bowing and waiting for his instructions, Qi Anyi turned his eyes away, not looking at the person, and said directly:

"Take your men to the north of the city tomorrow and deal with the group of people there. It happens that you are familiar with the area in the north of the city. As for the rest, there is no need for me to say more. You know it in your heart." The man heard this and did not say much. He just paused slightly, and then replied nonchalantly: "Yes, I understand."

Qi Anyi felt annoyed just looking at him, so he raised his hand and rubbed his temple. Seeing that the man was still standing there, he waved his hand and told him to leave by himself.
