Ji Yunshuang did not expect that as soon as she stepped out of the space, she would see Lu Yinheng and Xu Xi both fall off their horses.

She was startled and quickly ran over.

The two men were found with their eyes closed, completely unconscious. Both of them showed symptoms of an insect plague infection.

Judging from their condition, it might not be in time for them to take medication.

Fortunately, when she entered the space this time, in addition to preparing pills, she also prepared some injections, just in case.

She quickly used her telekinesis to retrieve needles and medicine from her spatial storage and injected them into the two individuals.

While intravenous injections are more effective than oral pills, they also have greater side effects.

Most people probably couldn't handle it.

Ji Yunshuang wasn't sure if the two people's bodies could handle it, so after injecting them with the medicine, she nervously observed their reactions.

After a while, Lu Yinheng slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ji Yunshuang in front of him. He was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.

"Did you save me?" he said, trying to sit up from the ground. But he couldn't.

Ji Yunshuang saw through his thoughts and reached out to help him up, saying, "When I arrived, I saw you fall off your horses. I noticed you didn't have any other knife wounds, but you showed symptoms of a plague, so I tried giving you medicine. Did you encounter Prince Duan?"

Lu Yinheng said, "We ran into him, but we couldn't catch him..."

He recounted his encounter with Prince Duan, and how he and Xu Xi later developed symptoms of the plague.

After he finished speaking, he remembered something, looked at Xu Xi beside him, and hurriedly asked, "Why isn't he awake yet?"

Ji Yunshuang reached out and checked Xu Xi's breath, saying, "He's still alive for now. When I saw you, your symptoms were already quite severe. I was afraid I couldn't save you, so I used a stronger dose of medicine."

This drug already has significant side effects, and increasing the dosage might make it difficult for some people to tolerate it.

Whether he survives or not is up to him.

Lu Yinheng didn't ask what medicine she used. After thanking Ji Yunshuang, he inquired about the situation in Yaoguang County.

“Some villagers’ insects had already hatched and couldn’t be saved, so I had to kill them along with the insects.”

Ji Yunshuang said, "I have tried my best to save all the villagers who could be saved."

Looking at her calm expression, Lu Yinheng couldn't imagine how cruel the world she lived in must be.

Otherwise, how could she, all alone, remain so calm in the face of such a cruel and bizarre situation?

He felt a strange pang in his heart.

"Sir, be careful!"

A cry of surprise interrupted his thoughts. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of villagers running towards them.

Lu Yinheng subconsciously reached for the sword, but found nothing. He then realized that the sword had been lost somewhere long ago.

In the blink of an eye, one of the villagers at the front rushed towards them.

Ji Yunshuang drew her sword and sliced ​​off the villager's head with a single stroke.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely long worm popped out of the villager's head and flew towards Ji Yunshuang.

Ji Yunshuang wielded her sword with incredible speed; before the insects could even get close, they were cleaved into pieces by her sword.

Although Lu Yinheng had heard Ji Yunshuang mention it before, what he saw with his own eyes was far more terrifying than what he had heard.

The hairs on his body stood on end involuntarily.

Ji Yunshuang's sword did not stop until all the insects were killed.

Jiang Liu was already quite adept at dealing with these insects. Without Ji Yunshuang needing to say anything, he led his men to their respective tasks.

They burned all the dead insects on the ground, and then burned all the corpses of the villagers.

"Sir, these are the last batch of villagers infected with the insects, and there's no way to save them."

Jiang Liu reported the situation to Ji Yunshuang. Thinking of the villagers he had dealt with, he felt distressed, but he still forced himself to say, "I wonder what we should do next?"

Ji Yunshuang took out several porcelain bottles of medicine from her bundle and handed them to him, saying, "Give each soldier one pill first, and then distribute the rest to the villagers. Tell them not to take too many, just one pill at a time, and continue for three days."

Jiang Liu took the medicine, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "If I take the medicine for three more days, will the worms definitely not come back?"

It was truly terrifying to see those insects crawling out of people's heads.

Many villagers were terrified.

They were also uneasy, fearing that one day a large worm would grow inside their own bodies.

Ji Yunshuang said, "Yes, if I take the medicine I gave you this time for three more days, I can be completely sure of your safety."

Jiang Liu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Yinheng remembered the soldiers who had also experienced abdominal pain and vomiting, and hurriedly asked, "Do you still have any medicine? Many of the soldiers that Commander Xu led to capture Prince Duan have also contracted the plague."

I shared the medicine you gave them, and their symptoms improved somewhat. But they weren't cured. They…”

He wanted to say, "What if they end up like the villagers?" But he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Just thinking about it makes me feel suffocated.

For soldiers, this kind of death is incredibly humiliating.

Ji Yunshuang's expression changed slightly. She didn't answer him immediately, but instead turned to Jiang Liu and gave him a few instructions.

Instruct him to remain in Yaoguang County with his troops and monitor the situation there. Also, do not allow the villagers of Yaoguang County to leave.

After giving her instructions, she turned to Lu Yinheng and said, "Tell me the address, I'm heading there now."

Lu Yinheng said, "I'll go with you."

Ji Yunshuang looked at him and said, "Are you able to leave now? Why don't you just tell me the address and I'll go there?"

Lu Yinheng wasn't feeling well at the moment; he felt as if all the muscles in his body were stiff.

However, he endured his discomfort and said, "I'm fine, I'll go with you. That place is hard to find, I'll lead the way and we'll get there faster."

Ji Yunshuang did have something else she wanted to talk to him about, so after hesitating for a moment, she agreed, "Let's talk about it together."

“Riding a horse is too slow. I’ll call Tianrui to take us there.” With that, she whistled, and soon Tianrui came galloping out of the woods.

Looking at Tianrui, Lu Yinheng thought about riding a tiger with her, and felt his muscles stiffen even more, and his heart beat faster for no reason.

Ji Yunshuang was completely focused on the plague and did not notice his unusual behavior.

She said, "You go up first. You're a patient now, so you can sit in the front."

Does she mean he should sit in front while she protects him from behind?

His father passed away early, and he shouldered the burden of the family at a young age. He had always been the one protecting others, but this was the first time someone wanted to protect him.

This feeling is very unfamiliar.

His first reaction was that it was absurd. He was a man, and it was his duty to protect her, not her to protect herself.

Even though he found her words absurd, he felt a strange warmth and joy in his heart.
