Zhao Qing's gaze finally fell on Jiang Wansang.

As for the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, Miss Zhao Qing had heard a lot of news about her.

Many people said that she was a poor little thing, living under someone else's roof and not being treated well, and had been bullied a lot.

But Miss Zhao Qing could see that she was by no means as pitiful as she looked, and she even had the upper hand in the struggle in the harem.

Miss Zhao Qing had also heard a lot of rumors about Miss Jiang and Master Pei.

She glanced between the two of them, then asked, "What did Miss Jiang mean by a situation worse than the current one?"

Pei Zhanzhou looked at the person next to him, guessed what she was going to say, pursed his lips, and did not stop her, but he was thinking about something in his mind.

Jiang Wansang didn't notice his emotions. She looked directly into Zhao Qing's eyes and slowly uttered two words: "Plague."

Even though Zhao Qing was a calm and reserved person and had been mentally prepared, his expression still changed when he heard these two words.

"Do you know what you are saying?" Her tone was slightly deep, and her aura was fierce.

Few people dared to look directly at Zhao Qingxue's aura in those days. Although he has been in front of the Buddha for more than 20 years, his aura has not diminished at all, and has even become more steady.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have been so scared that they would not dare to look directly at it, or even kneel down.

But Jiang Wansang looked at her calmly.

"I know what I'm talking about," Jiang Wansang said calmly, "If it weren't for something this serious, we wouldn't be asking for help."

Zhao Qing didn't respond to her in a hurry, but looked through the information about Shengzhou in his hand again.

But no matter how she looked, there was nothing about the plague.

After a long pause, she frowned and looked at Jiang Wansang. "It doesn't say there are signs of plague in Shengzhou. How did you know that?"

I have to say that Zhao Qing's senses are very sharp.

If there really were signs of plague in Shengzhou, but there was no mention of it here, something else must have happened.

If there was no plague in Shengzhou, but Jiang Wansang said so in front of her, then she would have to suspect that this so-called plague was probably man-made.

After all, it's impossible for people to predict the future, right?

Jiang Wansang knew she would ask, and her mind was racing with thoughts of what to say.

Zhao Qing*** is different from Pei Zhanzhou, it is impossible to tell her the truth.

But Miss Zhaoqing is also a smart and perceptive person, and ordinary lies cannot fool her at all.

Jiang Wansang was thinking quickly about how to respond, but his expression was calm and composed without any flaws.

"No one can predict the future." Jiang Wansang was about to speak when Pei Zhanzhou next to him answered first.

He also looked calm and composed. "The Master of the Divine Doctor Valley is near Shengzhou. My people have been looking for him. He is the one who told me this."

"I've looked up historical records and found that many plagues in history were caused by floods that submerged villages and the government's inability to provide timely arrangements for the people's lives."

"Xinhua has seen the current situation in Shengzhou. If things continue like this, it's only a matter of time before the whole place is filled with starving people."

This was the excuse Pei Zhanzhou had prepared long ago. As the whereabouts of the Valley Master of the Divine Doctor were uncertain, he had made some other arrangements so that he was not afraid of being investigated by Zhao Qing.

Moreover, as long as Miss Zhao Qing believed that there would be a plague in Shengzhou, she probably wouldn't have enough energy to investigate whether it was true or not.

Pei Zhanzhou had indeed calculated this correctly.

The status of the Valley Master of the Divine Doctor is well known in the martial arts world, and people have to believe at least 50% of what he says.

Today Jiang Wansang and Pei Zhanzhou came to see her openly. Even the dumbest people would not lie about such a thing, so Zhao Qingxia already believed it about 80%.

These eight or nine points are absolutely enough!

After a long silence, Zhao Qing finally stopped asking where they got the news and looked at Pei Zhanzhou, "What do you want me to do?"

She no longer called herself "poor nun", and her aura was no longer restrained and peaceful. It was obvious that she had decided to intervene in this matter.

Pei Zhanzhou immediately understood what she meant and bowed. "We just want *** to take the lead in exposing the Shengzhou incident and take charge of this matter to prevent the outbreak of the plague."

Their main purpose is to protect the people of that city. As for the power struggles and interests involved behind this matter, they are just something they have to do by the way.

Zhao Qing *** could of course see that they were not simply kind-hearted, but it was rare for someone in their position to put the safety of the people in the city first.

So without much hesitation, she agreed to it.

"Thank you, ***." Pei Zhanzhou bowed again.

Jiang Wansang also saluted, but her eyes quickly swept over the two of them.

She noticed that Pei Zhanzhou's cold attitude towards Zhao Qingma seemed to contain a hint of respect.

Just as he was wondering, he heard Pei Zhanzhou suddenly say, "The person who first wanted to save the people of Shengzhou was Miss Jiang. She is different from the rumors outside."

Some of the rumors outside said that she was pitiful, some said that she was deep-minded, and some said that she coveted the status of the prime minister's daughter, but these were all excuses given by the prime minister's side.

After such a long period of contact, Pei Zhanzhou knew very well what the real Jiang Wansang was like.

But when he suddenly said such words under such circumstances, not only Zhao Qing was confused, but also Jiang Wansang, the person involved.

From the moment she entered this Zen room and saw Zhao Qing, she felt that Pei Zhanzhou was weird.

This nonsensical sentence further confirmed his guess.

Perhaps Pei Zhanzhou's hatred for the Nansu royal family is not just hatred.

Although she had some doubts in her heart, Jiang Wansang did not ask at this time, but followed Pei Zhanzhou silently.

Left the Zen room and left the backyard.

Jiang Wansang finally couldn't help but ask, "Why did you call me here today?"

She felt like she was just joining the crowd and hadn't accomplished anything.

Pei Zhanzhou didn't answer her. He just looked at her deeply for a while and asked, "Are you free later?"

Jiang Wansang shook her head in confusion.

Pei Zhanzhou: "It just so happens that Aunt He Xiu hasn't seen you for a long time. She has mentioned you to me several times. Let's go see her."

Jiang Wansang: "???"

Why does the topic change so quickly?

She became even more confused, but Pei Zhanzhou didn't even give her a chance to ask and just walked away.

In the Zen room.

Zhao Qing looked at the information in her hand, then looked at the doorway where no one had appeared, and asked, "Aunt Chang, what did Master Pei mean by what he said before he left?"

Aunt Chang was also a little confused.

It was obvious that Master Pei was defending Miss Jiang in his words, but Master Jiang had no hostility towards Miss Jiang, nor did he say anything bad about her.

Isn’t that nonsensical remark of Pei Guoshi too strange?
