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

"We need to find General Ji first, because she's the one who knows the most about the plague." Xu Xi looked at Fu Ci anxiously and added, "Besides, I'm out of medicine. Only General Ji has it."

Fu Ci has now largely dispelled his doubts about Xu Xi's words.

He was about to send his personal guards and Xu Xi to find Ji Yunshuang when several of his guards began to show symptoms of infection.

Fu Ci's expression changed instantly.

Xu Xi never expected that at this time, all of Fu Ci's personal guards would be infected with the epidemic.

He hurriedly said, "Take your medicine quickly, take the medicine I gave you before. Taking it sooner might be more effective."

At this moment, some people collapsed to the ground vomiting, while others slumped to the ground, drenched in sweat...

The group didn't even have the strength to get the medicine.

It was only then that they truly felt the power of the epidemic.

It really came quickly and fiercely.

Fu Ci had not expected the epidemic to be so severe.

He suppressed his shock and immediately followed Xu Xi's instructions to administer the medicine to several guards.

After taking the medicine, the symptoms of several patients were relieved.

Fu Ci looked at the condition of the guards and said, "Their condition after taking the medicine is different from the reaction of the villagers."

Xu Xi said, "It's probably because the medicine was taken in time that it was more effective."

Fu Ci nodded, then checked his own body again. Finding himself feeling fine, he asked Xu Xi in confusion, "How come I haven't contracted the plague?"

Xu Xi shook his head and said, "I can't answer that either."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Fu Ci's personal guards and said, "I'm going to find the adjutant now. You all stay here and keep an eye on these villagers. If anyone is completely controlled by the insects, act immediately and don't be soft-hearted."

He explained in detail how to determine if a person is completely controlled by the insects, and how to kill the insects.

He learned all of this from the soldiers when he was recuperating in Yaoguang County. Now, he told Fu Ci everything he knew.

He was somewhat worried that, being their first time facing such a scenario, they might not be able to handle it and the situation might worsen.

But at this point, there were no better options. All they could hope for was that he could successfully find Commander Ji, return quickly, and bring the situation under control.

He dared not delay and quickly rode his horse toward the camp.

Upon arriving at the camp, they learned that Ji Yunshuang was not there.

Xu Xi immediately became anxious, "Do you know where General Ji went? The plague has spread, and on our way here, we encountered many villagers who had contracted the disease and collapsed on the road."

I gave all the medicine I had to the villagers. But I didn't have enough medicine; some people hadn't taken it yet.

"And I haven't even had time to check the surrounding area yet; there are definitely other villagers nearby who have also been infected."

"We must capture the witch and Prince Duan. If we don't capture them, we will never be able to control the number and scope of the outbreak."

We had come up with a plan that was feasible. However, this plan would require the soldiers to wear special clothing. She must have gone to prepare the clothing for the soldiers.

As Lu Yinheng spoke, he took out the pills that Ji Yunshuang had given him before she left and said, "These are the medicines he left behind. Take these medicines and go save people first."

In addition to administering the medication, he also handed over all the soldiers who did not require special training to Xu Xi, instructing him to lead them to control the situation.

The remaining soldiers continued to undergo special training with him.

Once Ji Yunshuang returns, they will search for the witch and Prince Duan.

Xu Xi didn't dare to delay and immediately took the medicine and soldiers back to meet up with Fu Ci.

By the time he rushed back, some people had already reached the third stage of the plague.

To make matters worse, not long after Xu Xi left, Fu Ci discovered that he had also developed symptoms of the epidemic.

Although he took the medicine in time, he and several of his guards were greatly reduced in combat effectiveness.

When they discovered that someone had reached the third stage of the disease Xu Xi had described and needed immediate attention, none of the men managed to kill them with a single blow. Instead, they enraged their opponent, making him even more agitated.

When Xu Xi arrived, this was the scene of utter chaos.

Looking at those people who acted like wild beasts, he felt a pang of sadness. In the end, he was too late and could not save more people.

He had no time to feel sentimental and quickly led his soldiers to charge forward.

His body had not fully recovered, while the villagers whose bodies were completely controlled by the insects had become exceptionally ferocious, in addition to their lack of expertise in killing the insects.

The scene was chaotic for a moment.

Fu Ci and his several bodyguards could only support themselves as they went to help.

With everyone working together, they finally managed to kill the worms inside the villager's body, following Xu Xi's instructions.

Even after the insects were killed, Fu Ciyou still felt like it was all a dream.

How could there be such a large worm inside a human body?

But all of this was happening right before their eyes, leaving them no choice but to believe it.

Fu Ci and his guards, their faces pale, suppressed their nausea as they killed the insects and cleaned up the scene.

But the situation was worse than they had imagined.

Besides the villagers they met on the way, news of disease outbreaks kept coming from other places.

They brought medicine to control the epidemic, but the soldiers they brought were often infected as well, making the situation extremely difficult at one point.

More importantly, Ji Yunshuang left behind a limited amount of medicine.

Soon, they ran out of medicine, but there were still many infected people.

Moreover, because the insect plague can spread very quickly, even if troops are sent to patrol, there is a possibility that the situation may not be reported in time.

They are now far from knowing how many other places have been infected with the plague.

Before Fu Ci arrived, he had considered many ways to control the situation. But he never expected that the plague would be like this.

None of the methods he had considered before coming here are of any use now.

When people seek medical help to treat infected patients, the doctors often fall ill themselves before they can even diagnose the problem.

Soldiers were sent to control the infected patients and prevent them from wandering around, but soon most of the soldiers also contracted the disease and lost their ability to move.

He consulted many doctors, hoping they could make the pills that Ji Yunshuang had given him, but no one could.

……

In the end, he could only pin his hopes on Ji Yunshuang.
