My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Not only Lu Yanqi had doubts, but Ji Yunshuang also suspected that the plague he mentioned was actually caused by a mutation of insects, so she asked carefully about the situation at that time.

Lu Yanqi shook his head slightly, "I only heard that a plague broke out in Ningxing Prefecture at that time, but I don't know the specifics."

I was young at the time and lived far away, but I heard about the terrible things that happened during that period of great fear.

Ji Yunshuang looked somewhat helpless and asked, "How did the epidemic eventually end?"

"I heard that the imperial court led troops to burn down all the villages suspected of having the plague, and burned all living things in the villages..."

Although Lu Yanqi did not witness it firsthand, the event had a profound impact on the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The plague killed too many people, and the casualties from the war severely weakened the Great Zhou Dynasty, which took many years to recover from.

Ji Yunshuang pursed her lips and asked, "When did that plague occur?"

"About three years later."

After Lu Yanqi finished speaking, he began to recount the events of his previous life. In his previous life, the Qi army and Prince Rui's forces were entangled for a long time, resulting in a situation where both sides suffered heavy losses.

But at this very moment, the court accused Prince Rui of colluding with the Qi army and threatening to seize his fiefdom. Prince Rui and his family were imprisoned. Prince Rui learned of this in advance and raised an army in rebellion.

Both King Xuan and King Duan were waving the flag of rebels, and they were all killed.

Lu Yanqi was still young at the time and didn't really understand all of this. However, he could remember the chaos and the hardships the people endured...

However, things are very different now compared to my previous life.

Although Lu Yanqi didn't know what she was doing outside, after observing her for so long, he gradually realized that the reason they were able to live a peaceful life and that his sister was safe was because of her.

Thinking about how he had misunderstood her and even wanted to kill her, Lu Yanqi felt very guilty.

Ji Yunshuang was preoccupied with the Heart-Eating Worm and didn't notice Lu Yanqi's thoughts. She said, "Alright, it's getting late, you should go to sleep!"

"Are you leaving now?" Lu Yanqi asked. "Are you in such a hurry to investigate that insect?"

Ji Yunshuang nodded.

Lu Yanqi hesitated.

He gently bit his lower lip with his white teeth, looking quite conflicted.

Seeing his expression, Ji Yunshuang didn't urge him. She simply stood quietly to the side, waiting for him to make a decision.

After a long while, Lu Yanqi finally said as if he had made up his mind, "You can ask your father. He... should know more than I do."

Ji Yunshuang's dark eyes were filled with surprise.

She truly hadn't expected the little dumpling to say that. She still clearly remembered how the little dumpling used to guard against her.

It was as if she were a hungry wolf and her father was a weak little lamb, about to be devoured by the wolf herself.

She never expected that her little dumpling, who was so wary of her, would take the initiative to tell her that his father had also been reborn.

Seeing her surprised expression, Lu Yanqi's cheeks flushed instantly. He said awkwardly, "If you don't want to ask, then forget it."

After saying that, he took off running outside.

Ji Yunshuang smiled as she watched his retreating figure and said, "Thank you!"

Time was short, and Gu Chunzhi didn't have time to do anything else. She could only take the dough that had risen in the kitchen and make pancakes in advance for Ji Yunshuang to take on the road.

In addition to the meat patties, she also took several jars of the meat sauce she had made earlier, packed them together with the meat patties, and gave them to Ji Yunshuang.

“You’re all alone out there, with no one to look after you. You need to be careful. Nothing is more important than your life.”

Ji Yunshuang took the bundle and said, "Mother, don't worry, I'll take good care of myself. You should go inside and get some sleep!"

Gu Chunzhi's eyes welled up with tears as she said, "No rush, there's plenty of time to sleep. I'll watch you go."

Ji Yunshuang didn't try to persuade her further, but before leaving, she remembered something and said, "I asked Sister Gao to go to Ningcheng to help me manage my business. She might be leaving in the next few days, so please keep an eye on Zhuzhu."

The child must be very sad to lose two good friends at once!

Gu Chunzhi asked in surprise, "Their whole family moved there?"

Ji Yunshuang said, "Sister Gao is worried about leaving the children in the village by herself. Besides, Da Cong and the other children are sensible. If they go there and are trained, they will be useful in the future."

However, things might not be very peaceful over there right now, so it would be safer for you to stay in the village.

Gu Chunzhi said, "You don't need to explain, I understand. Just take good care of yourself outside. Don't worry about things at home, I'll take care of them, nothing will go wrong."

"Okay, then I'll be going."

Ji Yunshuang mounted the tiger's back and turned to head towards Ningxing Prefecture.

After returning to his room, Lu Yanqi did not go to sleep. Sometime later, he went to Gu Chunzhi's side and, together with his grandmother, watched for a long time in the direction where Ji Yunshuang had left.

Tianrui ran fast, and it was nighttime, so they could no longer see Ji Yunshuang.

But both of them stood still.

After standing there for a while, Gu Chunzhi took her grandson's hand and said, "Let's go! Go to sleep. Your mother is an adult now, she can take care of herself. What we need to do is take good care of ourselves and not worry her or cause her any trouble."

Lu Yanqi nodded sensibly and obediently went back to the room with her.

On the other side, after Ji Yunshuang rode Tianrui out of their sight, she put the bundle into her spatial storage.

She didn't run all the way to Ningxing Prefecture. Instead, she found a hilltop where she had stopped Han Zhengping and the others last time, and then entered the space from that hilltop.

Inside the space, Han Zhengping and other soldiers were sleeping.

With so many people, there wasn't much space to make beds for them. The soldiers simply slept on the floor when they were tired.

Ji Yunshuang used her telekinesis to deeply hypnotize the soldiers, and then used her telekinesis to move them all out of the space.

When the soldiers woke up, they found that all their surroundings had changed.

"We're..." Han Zhengping stood up, looked around, and stomped his foot hard. "Have we come out of the illusion array?"

Everyone else, like him, looked around. Someone quickly realized what was happening and exclaimed, "This seems to be Qingfeng Mountain. Ningxing Prefecture is just a short walk ahead."

"Yes, yes, it's Qingfeng Mountain."

……

In their excitement, everyone belatedly realized that they were indeed trapped by a formation.

Moreover, they have been trapped inside for who knows how long.

They grew increasingly fearful and respectful of Ji Yunshuang. Was she even human? Not only was her martial arts incredibly powerful, but she had also managed to trap so many of them with just one formation.

Killing them would be as easy as crushing ants.

Moreover, if this skill were used on the battlefield, who could be her match?

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, wanting Ji Yunshuang to spar with them and test the results of their hard work these past few days.
