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

Ji Yunshuang temporarily put aside her plan to leave the military camp and craft weapons in her spatial dimension. Instead, she ordered her men to continue their investigation to determine who the other party was.

Soon, the scouts returned with news that it was not enemy troops. The leader was Xie Liang, who said he had brought soldiers to help her subdue the Qi army. However, they had encountered some trouble on the way, which delayed their journey…

Upon hearing that it was her cheap master, Ji Yunshuang immediately rode out of the city to greet him.

Xie Liang's troops should have arrived much earlier, but halfway there, some soldiers showed symptoms of infection.

Xie Liang had never personally witnessed the plague that had caused countless deaths and injuries in Ningxing Prefecture and Jingzhou, a plague that everyone feared.

Although he had never seen it, he knew quite a bit about the plague based on the messages Ji Yunshuang sent to Ningcheng.

Therefore, upon discovering that some soldiers might have contracted the plague, he immediately settled them in a remote place, while he led another group of people to seek medicine from Ji Yunshuang.

He originally intended to bring troops to help, but in the end, he couldn't even offer any assistance and had to ask Ji Yunshuang for help, which was truly shameful.

But now, he didn't care about saving face. When he met Ji Yunshuang, he first talked about the soldiers he had brought who had contracted the disease.

Ji Yunshuang had long anticipated that the deserters from Qi would spread the plague to various places as they fled.

She immediately dispatched men to track down the deserters and made arrangements for the areas they had gone to. However, this proved ineffective and instead spread to Xie Liang's army…

We still need to find a way to completely figure out how this disease is transmitted. If we don't figure it out, it will be really difficult to prevent it.

While pondering the matter in her mind, Ji Yunshuang took the medicine and sent someone to the location Xie Liang had mentioned to provide treatment.

To prevent arriving too late and delaying the rescue, Ji Yunshuang dispatched the best horses.

Xie Liang watched the team rush out like arrows, secretly admiring them. His little apprentice was truly remarkable!

Her troops are now stronger than those under Prince Rui.

How long has she been leading troops? Yet she has already surpassed Prince Rui's more than ten years of management. This ability is truly astonishing.

His master actually took advantage of her.

Xie Liang sighed inwardly as he walked towards the military camp with Ji Yunshuang. On the way, he inquired about the situation at the Qi army camp.

Ji Yunshuang had been somewhat worried, concerned that Xu Xi's personal abilities were insufficient to manage the complex military camp. Xie Liang's arrival was like a timely help in need.

The situation was urgent, so she immediately told Xie Liang about the battle between humans and insects that day, and that she needed to ask him to take over the management of the military camp.

When Xie Liang heard that the insect had mutated in just a few days, he was immediately shocked. What surprised him even more was how quick-witted she was, and how she had come up with a solution in no time.

I'm afraid that no one else in the world could do that except her.

And she trusted him so much.

This is the military power of the entire camp!

She simply handed it over to him to manage; her magnanimity is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people!

Xie Liang sighed inwardly, completely unaware that he didn't seem like Ji Yunshuang's master at this moment, but rather like her little fanboy.

This was only the excitement and admiration he felt when he heard Ji Yunshuang talk about the situation in the army. When he saw with his own eyes the interrogation container that Ji Yunshuang had made for the insect people, he was even more astonished.

In addition, Ji Yunshuang was also very skilled at managing the soldiers of Qi. He could see that these Qi soldiers also had great respect for Ji Yunshuang.

This made his task of training Qi soldiers and Zhou soldiers together much easier.

After temporarily entrusting the affairs of the General to Xie Liang, Ji Yunshuang secretly entered the space and devoted herself to making weapons in preparation for the next battle with the insects.

Just as Ji Yunshuang was engrossed in making weapons, General Yao was also carrying the documents and provisions that Ji Yunshuang had prepared for him, and was rushing towards the capital of Qi.

Five days later, General Yao finally arrived at Qiongcheng, the capital of the State of Qi.

King Jing of Qi was furious when he saw the document brought by General Yao!

He did not believe General Yao's claim that a plague had broken out in the army and that a large number of soldiers had contracted the disease.

He believed that General Yao had neglected his duties and betrayed his country. As for the plague he mentioned, it was merely an excuse for his incompetence.

He was to be taken away and beheaded immediately, and all of General Yao's family members to be imprisoned.

General Yao had considered this possibility long before he returned. He had also prepared himself for death.

But he can't just die like that! He'd drag his family down with him.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to King Qi Jing, saying, "Your Majesty! You can punish me however you like, but please believe what I say. This plague is extremely dangerous and must be treated with utmost care. If we do not treat it with care and allow it to spread, it will surely become a great calamity!"

King Jing of Qi was so angry that his eyes turned red.

The reason why the State of Qi invested so much manpower and resources was to conquer the State of Zhou, so that Qi could have more land and become stronger.

But now, after investing so much manpower and resources, not only have they failed to conquer the Zhou Kingdom, but they've also been told that they've been defeated and must pay the Zhou Kingdom real money in reparations! How can he possibly swallow this insult?

He sneered three times and said, "Fine! I'll go and see just how savage this plague is! That it could make hundreds of thousands of troops of my Great Qi army unable to defeat a weak woman! This is a disgrace to my Great Qi!"

Upon hearing that King Jing of Qi intended to personally lead an expedition, General Yao and the assembled ministers were all shocked. The ministers knelt down and pleaded, "Your Majesty! You mustn't!"

General Yao hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you must not underestimate the Ji family! This woman is no ordinary woman! Not only is she highly skilled in martial arts, but she also knows a great deal."

Her erudition far exceeds our imagination. This wicked minister suffered this crushing defeat precisely because he had previously underestimated her. Your Majesty, you must not take any more risks! The most important thing now is to prevent the plague from spreading into the territory of Qi!

King Qi Jing was even more furious upon hearing General Yao's words. He had not yet met Ji Yunshuang, but a picture of her had already formed in his mind.

This Lady Ji must be extremely beautiful.

She is not only beautiful, but also very good at manipulating people's hearts.

Otherwise, how could General Yao have been so bewitched by her? Right in front of him, he praised her highly and said so many nice things about her?

What's even more infuriating is that the general he personally selected, the one on whom he placed such high hopes, was seduced by a woman without even realizing it.

He chuckled coldly a few times, then looked at General Yao and said, "So, what do you think we should do now?"

Before General Yao could answer, he roared again, "Give in to her request? Compensate them for their money and grain, and gain their forgiveness?"

Not only did King Jing of Qi find this outrageous, but all the ministers of Qi also thought it was utterly outrageous!

How could they endure such humiliation?
