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

The soldiers quickly washed away the disguises of the men.

Lu Yinheng also arrived at the dungeon soon.

After removing their disguises, General Yao and the others revealed their true identities. Lu Yinheng recognized them at a glance.

He leaned close to Ji Yunshuang's ear and whispered a few words to her.

Ji Yunshuang narrowed her eyes slightly.

Even the commander-in-chief has come in person, which means the situation in the Qi army camp is extremely critical. Otherwise, the commander-in-chief wouldn't have left the camp with his men to risk coming here himself.

Moreover, when they attacked her, it was clear they wanted to capture her.

Clearly, their goal was not to kill her, but to capture her and obtain the medicine to cure the plague from her.

Now, without interrogation, she has a pretty good understanding of the situation in the Qi army camp.

General Yao didn't know what the handsome man whispered in her ear, but he noticed a subtle change in Ji Yunshuang's expression after hearing his words.

The change was subtle, but he could still sense it; it was a feeling of certainty that victory was within his grasp.

He sensed something was wrong, but his entire body was paralyzed by something, rendering him completely unable to move. For a moment, he was utterly helpless.

Just then, Ji Yunshuang spoke up.

She said, "General Yao, let's talk!"

General Yao understood that they were now completely at a disadvantage. He no longer had the leverage to negotiate with Ji Yunshuang.

Although he understood the situation, he still found it difficult to accept the outcome.

Ji Yunshuang didn't care what he was thinking. She said, "I believe you risked coming to me today because you wanted to save those soldiers who were infected with the disease. You couldn't bear to see them all being eaten by insects, dying in such a painful and undignified way."

Upon hearing Ji Yunshuang's words, General Xu couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean, 'eaten by insects'?"

“It seems you don’t know enough about this plague!” Ji Yunshuang said, sitting down in a chair.

Soldiers had already prepared a teapot and placed it on a table to the side.

She slowly took a sip of tea before saying, "This plague is not an ordinary plague. People who contract this plague will first experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, and weakness in their limbs. At this time, it would be best to take medicine to treat the plague immediately."

"Because at this time, the human body is infected with a virus containing parasite eggs, and the body is experiencing a rejection reaction."

Taking medication at this time will result in the fastest recovery! However, if medication is not taken at this time, the damage to the body will be greater once the worms hatch. But at this point, it's not entirely beyond saving.

At this stage, the damage to the body is significant, affecting lifespan. But as the worms grow larger and larger, and eventually enter the brain, it's too late for treatment.

General Yao and others had inquired about the plague.

But they didn't know that much detail.

Moreover, because some of the information they heard was so absurd, they didn't really believe it.

Or perhaps, they simply don't want to believe it.

But now, looking at the expression on Ji Yunshuang's face, Yao Jinjun inexplicably felt that she hadn't lied to her. Everything was true.

He finally spoke, "How could there be... such a thing?"

Ji Yunshuang said, "It's probably because of the evil intentions of some people!"

General Yao didn't understand what she meant, but clearly, she had no intention of continuing the conversation.

"If these insects are not completely eradicated, the Zhou, Qi, and surrounding small states will all suffer. In the end, the entire world may be overrun by these insects. This will be a catastrophe for all mankind."

Ji Yunshuang said sincerely, "So, I actually want to help you too."

"What conditions would you want to help us?" General Yao asked, then realized that he was now a prisoner and it was inappropriate to say such a thing.

He immediately changed his tune, saying, "If you are willing to save my Qi soldiers, I am willing to immediately lead my troops to withdraw from Zhou and persuade Your Majesty that I will never invade Zhou for ten years."

Ji Yunshuang put down her teacup, clearly dissatisfied. She said, "I saved your entire Qi Kingdom."

The subtext is: I saved your entire Qi state, and this is how you repay me?

General Yao gritted his teeth and said, "Once our army recovers from the plague, we will immediately withdraw from the borders of the Great Zhou and never invade the Great Zhou again."

Unexpectedly, Ji Yunshuang still shook her head after she said that.

General Yao's eyes were bloodshot. "This is already our biggest concession."

"Besides, didn't you say that if these insects aren't completely eradicated, they'll pose a threat to all of humanity? You're helping us, and you're also helping yourselves, aren't you?"

Ji Yunshuang smiled slightly and said, "I did say earlier that if these insects are not completely eradicated, it will be a catastrophe for all mankind. But killing these insects is easy, while medicine to cure diseases and save lives is rare."

Moreover, because of this war you initiated, countless people in our Great Zhou have had their homes destroyed, been displaced, and even lost their lives because of this war.

Her smile gradually faded, and suddenly she exuded boundless power.

This was completely different from the gentle, smiling woman she had just been. General Yao and the others were all taken aback.

“You started this war, destroyed my homeland, and killed my people. Now you are my prisoners. You want me to save you, and you even dare to try to escape unscathed.”

Ji Yunshuang approached him and said, word by word, "General Yao, are you really a general of Qi? I feel like you're more naive than a three-year-old child?"

General Yao felt as if all the blood in his body rushed to his face.

It's shameful, it's embarrassing!

Just now, Ji Yunshuang took the initiative to explain to him this extraordinary plague, and even talked about the dangers of this plague...

She spoke with a smile, looking like an ordinary woman.

Because of her demeanor, he unconsciously looked down on her a bit, assuming she was, after all, a woman. He couldn't escape the pitying influence of womanly compassion…

Only then did he realize that everything she had shown was a facade. It was all a deliberate act on her part.

Yet he judged her based on her pretense. For a general like him to repeatedly make the same mistake, it's no wonder she mocked him so much.

But what he found even harder to accept than losing face or Ji Yunshuang's ridicule was their current predicament.

He's currently in a state where he's at the mercy of others and has no choice but to beg for their help...

General Xu and his men also felt they had suffered a great humiliation.

"Our general has already made such a big concession, and you're still not satisfied? What more do you want? Don't push your luck!" General Xu said passionately.

Because the anesthesia hadn't worn off, his body was stiff. Therefore, although his words were impassioned, they lacked any real force.

After General Xu finished speaking, he realized his predicament and felt a surge of anger.

"No need to talk, just kill them." Ji Yunshuang stood up and ordered the soldiers in the prison cell, "Prepare weapons. After all the Qi soldiers are infected with the plague, kill them all and then burn them to prevent the spread of the plague."
