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

Chapter 293 Numbness

Compared to the people in the east of Chengdu, the people in the north of the city are relatively smarter and more cautious.

After all, if this was the capital or the east of the city, after hearing what the man said, the people would probably rush over like they were scrambling for the property.

The man had no expression on his face. He looked at the people and asked them to come over.

The dozen or so people stopped in front of the big vat, but did not take action directly. Instead, they raised their eyes, their pale and sickly faces, their bloodless lips pursed, and their lifeless eyes stared straight at the guards, as if waiting for them to speak.

The guards naturally didn't say anything at this time, so they all focused their attention on the man. Seeing this, the man's eyelids jumped, and then he looked at the guards and wanted to say something, but seeing that these dozen people were staring at him, he finally turned sideways and asked these dozen people in a lukewarm tone:

"Just ask whatever you want to ask. Don't answer everything. Answer based on the situation."

After hearing this, the dozen or so people looked at each other and the first question they asked was whether this medicine was really effective.

The man knew the truth, and thought that these medicines were only useful for a short time, but after that period of time, he would die suddenly, and no one would find out that it was the medicines that caused the problem before he died.

But he replied that it depends on the person. After all, it is a way to survive, so you will know if you try it.

As soon as the man said this, the guards standing beside him quickly turned their heads to look at him with warning eyes.

After all, in the original plan, the man should have said that the medicine was 100% effective, and let the people drink the medicine with complete peace of mind. In this way, if these people died suddenly later, others would not focus on the medicine. On the contrary, after these people died, if any court official or the emperor himself came to investigate, the blame would definitely be directed at Qi Anyi.

This was a situation that none of them wanted to see, but now the man had already said it. If they continued to say these words now, it would definitely arouse more suspicion.

The man pretended not to notice the glares from the guards and just focused his attention on the dozen or so people at the moment, waiting for their decision.

However, among these dozen people, only three chose to give up. After taking a final look at the big vat, they turned around and returned to where they were originally.

The rest chose to take a gamble. These dozen people were all infected with the plague, but they had not yet developed the disease so quickly, so they dared to come out and take a gamble.

The guards were very careful when handing the medicine to the dozen people. After all, they were afraid that they would be infected if they were not careful. Even though they were fully armed and their skin had never touched the air outside the clothes, it was better to be safe than sorry.

After seeing these dozen people drink the medicine, the guards' originally tense faces relaxed for a moment, and then they waved their hands and let them go back, telling them that they would see the result in the evening.

The dozen people left here half-believing and half-doubting.

When the guards saw them walking away, they turned their attention to the man who had not spoken since the moment they gave the medicine to the people. Unfortunately, this man was their leader.

One of the guards saw that the man had no expression on his face, and thinking of what had just happened, he couldn't help but vent all his previous resentment. He sneered, looked at the man with a slanted look, and said in a mocking tone:

"Heh, team leader, are you feeling sorry for these people?"

The man listened to the guard's words, and just as he was about to leave, he paused. He turned around, his face was covered by a mask so his expression could not be seen, but it was not difficult to see from his deep eyes that his pupils had a somewhat hypocritical smile, and he said slowly:

"Feeling distressed? How is that possible? You're thinking too much."

The guard pretended not to understand what the man said about him thinking too much. The sneer in his eyes did not disappear. He just continued:

"It doesn't matter what the leader said, but your actions just now clearly gave the master a handle for the other party. Everyone can see this. To put it more seriously, you deliberately left these small handles for them. If this is true, then leaving handles is a small matter, but the intention to betray the master is real!"

When the man saw the guard saying this, the malice in his eyes seemed to be about to overflow. His heart skipped a beat, and he didn't have time to react. He just sneered subconsciously:

"I think you are jealous of my position as the leader. You want to discredit me as much as possible and drag me down, so that you can take the position, right? How could I betray my master? After all, my child is in the hands of my master." The guard was about to say something when he heard this, but was stopped by another guard beside him.

Yes, it's just a waste of my time to argue with this man. At worst, I can kneel down in front of my master when I have time and make things difficult for him.

After all, this man's child is still in the hands of his master, so he dare not do anything to disobey or betray his master.

So the guards returned to their team without saying anything else.

When the man saw this, he naturally knew that he had to quit while he was ahead, so he turned to the left and looked at the big jar. He paused for half a second and then asked someone to carry the jar of medicine back.

It seemed that the north of the city no longer needed them, so they only stayed in the north of the city for the morning.

He did not return to Qi Anyi at noon, but went directly to the east of the city with the jar of medicine.

The people in the east of the city were much more sensible than those in the north. No one knew where they got the news. After all, as soon as they entered the east of the city, the original people in the east of the city had already been waiting not far away, waiting for their arrival, as if they had known about it for a long time.

The guards did not think much about it. They were very satisfied to see that the people in the east of the city were so honest. After all, they did not have to go door to door to look for people. It was easy. The only thing was that the people in the north of the city were too cautious and smooth.

The man looked at the endless sea of people in front of him, his eyelids twitched, and he didn't know what to say until a citizen who was waiting for the medicine in front of him urged him impatiently to give him the medicine quickly. Then the man reacted and looked at the pale and skinny short man in front of him. Then he scooped out a spoonful of medicine and put it in the bowl they had prepared, and then watched the short man leave here and stand somewhere else to drink the medicine voraciously.

Afterwards, his face showed one of comfort, as if the heavy stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.

The man withdrew his gaze, and his face hidden under the mask was numb.
