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

Fu Zhe only learned that Fu Ci had already abandoned the carriage and rushed to Ningxing Prefecture when he went to rest at the post station that evening.

He was furious when he learned that Fu Ci had abandoned the carriage and secretly headed to Ningxing Prefecture.

He had a gloomy face all night, and got up before dawn the next day, abandoning the carriage and leading a group of people to rush to Ningxing Prefecture.

But he could never catch up with Fu Ci.

Fu Ci had long since abandoned the carriage and was traveling on horseback. Even at night, he didn't find a place to rest. Instead, he led his men on a night-long journey, and by now, he had already arrived in Ningxing Prefecture.

The group had been traveling day and night and were now quite tired.

Upon arriving in Ningxing Prefecture, Fu Ci instructed his men to dismount and rest before continuing their journey in half an hour.

As everyone was eating dry rations with their water bottles, they suddenly heard a series of chaotic footsteps. Tang Yiyang stopped what he was doing and quickly got up to check.

He quickly returned and said to Fu Ci, "Your Highness, a lot of refugees are coming towards us. It seems they are heading to Jiangzhou."

Fu Ci frowned: "Go and find out what's going on."

Tang Yiyang left with several soldiers. After a while, Tang Yiyang returned and said, "Your Highness, these are all villagers from the vicinity of Yaoguang County. They heard that a plague had broken out in Yaoguang County, and they were afraid of being implicated, so they all ran away."

"I heard that many people have gone to the capital. Some feel that the capital is too far away and have no choice but to come to Jiangzhou to see what's going on."

Tang Yiyang thought about what the refugees had said when he inquired, and a hint of hesitation flashed across his face.

Should we tell him those things truthfully?

"What are you thinking about?" Fu Ci knew what was going on as soon as he saw his expression. He said, "No need to hide it, just tell the truth."

Tang Yiyang observed his expression and whispered, "Those villagers said they didn't want to come to Jiangzhou... They said they heard that the plague in Yaoguang County was caused by the Prince and General Ji. If it weren't for divine punishment, they wouldn't have become refugees and have nowhere to go."

“This is obviously someone else’s scheme, and they actually believed it?” A soldier nearby heard this and immediately stood up angrily. “I’m going to go and explain this to them.”

Fu Ci sternly reprimanded the soldier, calling him back and signaling Tang Yiyang to continue.

"I heard that the plague in Yaoguang County is very serious and incurable. Anyone who goes in will die."

It is said that before and after, many soldiers and villagers went to Yaoguang County to check the situation.

Without exception, they all never returned. Now, no one dares to go to Yaoguang County anymore; the villagers avoid it like the plague.

After Tang Yiyang finished speaking, he looked at Fu Ci with great concern and said, "Your Highness, Yaoguang County is so dangerous, what will we do if we go there?"

Not only was Tang Yiyang worried, but the soldiers traveling with him were also extremely concerned. Who didn't know how dangerous the plague was?

Moreover, this plague sounds particularly severe.

After taking a sip of water with a serious expression, Fu Ci began assigning tasks. He ordered Tang Yiyang to take his men and find the person spreading the rumors behind the scenes.

Tang Yiyang nodded in agreement, then looked at Fu Ci with concern and asked, "What about the plague in Yaoguang County?"

Investigating who is spreading rumors behind the scenes is not difficult; manipulating public opinion is key. The suspects are limited to a few specific individuals.

The most difficult thing was the plague in Yaoguang County.

Fu Ci said, "You don't need to worry about this. I have my own plans."

Tang Yiyang had followed him for so many years, how could he not understand his plans? He definitely didn't want them to take any risks and planned to go to Yaoguang County himself.

He immediately objected, "No, you can't risk going to Yaoguang County. Let Minyu handle the investigation of the mastermind behind it all; I'll take my men to Yaoguang County."

Min Yu also said, "Your Highness, you are of noble status and must not risk your life in my Yaoguang County."

Fu Ci raised his hand to stop him, saying, "No need to persuade me anymore. I have my own plans. Let's get going!"

Tang Yiyang and the others had no choice but to stop for now and follow Fu Ci's instructions to continue their journey.

In Yaoguang Village, Jiang Liu followed Ji Yunshuang's example and dealt with the villagers who were beyond saving.

It looked easy for Ji Yunshuang to do, but they realized how difficult it was after they tried it themselves.

First of all, they were not facing enemies on the battlefield, nor were they ruthless robbers.

They were facing ordinary villagers dressed simply.

The psychological hurdle alone is not easy to overcome.

At first, several soldiers hesitated to carry out the attack and nearly died at the hands of the villagers.

Several villagers refused to believe Jiang Liu and the others, and insisted on feeding the medicine to the villagers who had lost their minds. As a result, they were killed on the spot.

At this point, many villagers realized how sinful their previous thoughts had been.

Previously, when they saw Ji Yunshuang slashing the necks of those villagers with a sword, they all thought she was too cruel.

Some people even blamed Ji Yunshuang for the pain of losing their loved ones, believing that she had killed them.

But even now, seeing those villagers go berserk, like monsters, biting and chewing on people...

They then realized that Ji Yunshuang had done that only to save them.

Many villagers hid, wailing, and repented in their hearts, realizing they had misunderstood Lord Ji; they were wrong…

Jiang Liu and the others had never seen the villagers go crazy before.

Because Ji Yunshuang had already dealt with them before they went berserk. Now, seeing the villagers acting like wild beasts, she was sweating profusely.

But remembering his promise to Ji Yunshuang, Jiang Liu took a deep breath and said, "Let's all work together and not let the adults' previous efforts go to waste."

After saying that, he was the first to draw his knife and slash at the crazed villager.

The first strike missed, and he was nearly hit by the crazed villager.

Fortunately, the soldiers who were with them came forward to help, and the two of them worked together to cut off the head of the crazed villager.

But it's not over yet.

After the insect emerged from the villagers' heads, it immediately tried to find a new host and enter their bodies.

Only then did they realize that the insects in front of them were ten thousand times more terrifying than when Ji Yunshuang had killed them before.

After a flurry of activity, they finally killed the insects and burned the book with a musket. Jiang Liu felt like he had lost half his life and admired Ji Yunshuang even more.

She's really amazing.

The soldiers all thought the same thing as Jiang Liu, feeling that Ji Yunshuang was really amazing.

But right now, they don't have time to stop and think about all that.

The riot just now seemed to have stimulated other insects, increasing their growth, and many villagers who wandered around the village like soulless people began to riot.

Jiang Liu and the others held knives and kept chopping and killing the insects. Gradually, they went from being flustered and making mistakes at first to becoming more adept at it later.

Inside the space, Ji Yunshuang took a deep breath.

She finally finished producing this batch of medicine.

She glanced at the time, then, without taking a break, quickly packed up the medicine and left the space.
