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

At that moment, all the Zhou soldiers present felt a sense of pride in being citizens of the Great Zhou.

This honor was earned for them by Ji Yunshuang.

They knew perfectly well that without Ji Yunshuang, they wouldn't have received such preferential treatment! It was all because of Lord Ji.

Before Lord Ji came along, they were bullied by the Qi army. Their lives were worthless, and they could be sacrificed for the powerful and wealthy at any time.

But after Lord Ji came along, everything changed.

The Zhou soldiers present all straightened their backs unconsciously, their eyes filled with pride. When they occasionally glanced at Ji Yunshuang, their eyes were filled with admiration and respect…

All of this was observed by the generals of Qi, who felt a strange sense of envy towards the people of Zhou.

General Yao was filled with regret.

His biggest mistake in life was underestimating the Ji family.

Although Ji was a woman, she was stronger than countless men.

He swallowed the bitterness and regret in his heart and said, "Then what does Lord Ji think we should do?"

Ji Yunshuang said, "Because your Qi Kingdom provoked this war without cause, causing serious losses to my Great Zhou, you should compensate us with three million taels of gold, 300,000 catties of grain, and 100,000 warhorses. In addition, we will pay 300,000 taels of silver separately to purchase medicine to treat the plague."

General Xu and the others unconsciously widened their eyes, their faces flushing red.

The redness on their faces wasn't from embarrassment, but from anger!

General Yao could no longer contain himself and roared, "You...you've gone too far! You're trying to drain our Great Qi dry!"

"You should have considered this consequence when you launched your attack on my Great Zhou," Ji Yunshuang said.

"You can refuse if you don't want to. After I kill you all, I'll kill all the soldiers of Qi, and like you, I'll lead a large army to invade Qi. I'll repay you for what you did to us, bit by bit!"

As she spoke, she stood up and ordered the soldiers behind her, "Kill them!"

"Wait a moment," General Yao said, his voice filled with humiliation and urgency. "I didn't say I wouldn't agree."

He never imagined that this day would come.

If it were just about killing him, that would be fine.

He is not afraid of death.

But he couldn't let so many soldiers in the army die as well.

Given Ji's ruthlessness and viciousness, he was absolutely certain that she would actually do it.

Rather than making pointless sacrifices, it's better to agree first and then figure out a solution later.

If he could save the infected soldiers and control the epidemic, he would have a way to turn the tide.

General Yao tried his best to comfort himself, deciding to accept Ji Yunshuang's conditions and endure this temporary humiliation.

One day, he will repay all the humiliation he has suffered today.

Ji Yunshuang had no idea what he was thinking at that moment. If she did, she would probably just sneer and tell him to stop dreaming.

From the moment the Qi army contracted the plague, they were doomed.

His disdain for her, and his attempt to kidnap her with his men, only hastened their defeat.

And all of this is just the beginning.

“I agree to everything!” General Yao said, “But you must release us immediately, take the medicine, and come back to the camp with us to save the soldiers infected with the disease.”

"Do you think the medicine to cure the epidemic is like cabbage on the street? You can just grab a handful and go?"

Lu Yinheng, displeased with his tone, said, "Also, General Yao, please remember your current position. Now that you are begging us, you should have the attitude of someone begging."

General Yao felt aggrieved, but he could only quickly apologize to Ji Yunshuang.

After offering a long apology, he asked again, "Then how long will it take Lord Ji to prepare the medicine?"

Ji Yunshuang asked, "How many people in your army are currently infected with my plague?"

General Yao said, "There should be... twenty or thirty thousand people..."

This was the situation when they left the military camp. Now, so many days have passed, and he dared not even think about what the situation was like now.

Ji Yunshuang then asked them when they first discovered that some soldiers were infected with the plague. After General Yao answered one by one, she said, "Then we must prepare 10,000 doses of medicine."

General Yao asked in confusion, "Why only prepare ten thousand doses of medicine?"

“Didn’t you listen when the adults told you about this plague? This plague is different from ordinary plagues. At the beginning, this plague can still be cured.”

Lu Yinheng said, "But if this goes on for too long, the worms will enter the brain, and the whole person will become nutrients for the worms. Although the person may appear to be alive, they are actually already dead. So, there's no need to waste any more medicine."

Although General Yao and his companions had already prepared for the worst, they still could not accept this outcome.

General Xu said, "You wouldn't be saying this on purpose because you don't want to spend that much medicine, would you? You're not going to save them, are you?"

Lu Yinheng said, "You'll know whether it's true or not when the time comes. I hope you won't wet your pants when you see those bugs."

General Xu and his men felt humiliated and were furious. However, they were currently locked in their cells, and the effects of the drugs on their bodies had not yet completely worn off, so they could only vent their anger in their hearts.

There's nothing else we can do.

This feeling is just too frustrating.

After a long while, General Yao finally suppressed his anger and asked, "When can you release us?"

"No rush!" Ji Yunshuang said, "I will let you leave once I have prepared the medicine and signed the agreement. For now, I can only ask you to wait a little longer."

After saying that, Ji Yunshuang turned and left the dungeon.

Lu Yinheng followed.

Soon, only General Yao and his party remained in the dungeon.

Seeing everyone leave, they were neither separated nor imprisoned individually, nor were any soldiers left to guard them.

They had only locked the cell door where they were. General Xu was somewhat incredulous. "They... just left like that? They just... left us here like that?"

"Can you move now?" General Yao asked, his face dark. "Is there still a way to get the medicine to cure the plague?"

They were now paralyzed, unable to escape or kidnap Ji Yunshuang to obtain the plague medicine...

They are now completely under the control of the other side, what else can they do?

He had never felt so humiliated in his entire life. But now, what could he do but swallow his anger?

If we really want to turn the tide, we'll have to wait until the time comes.
