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

Ji Yunshuang wanted to capture the witch alive, then interrogate her to find out the secret of her body swapping, so as to kill her completely.

But living as a priestess is not an easy thing.

Ji Yunshuang did not run around like a headless fly.

Instead, we sat down and conducted a comprehensive analysis first.

She had been away from the military camp these past few days, but Xu Xi had been gathering and organizing information from various sources. As soon as Ji Yunshuang returned, she reported all the information.

Currently, all outbreaks within Zhou have been brought under control, and no new cases of disease transmission have been detected.

Judging from the current situation, it seems quite likely that the plague has been completely eradicated by them.

But Ji Yunshuang knew that this was just an illusion.

The real crisis is not over yet.

Based on the information reported by Xu Xi and the letter sent by Lu Yinheng, she secretly pondered in her heart where the witch was headed.

Although Lu Yinheng's letter was written in haste, it was clear that everything was written.

This includes what Chi Xiao revealed about Princess Chenxi's unusual behavior during those days, as well as the arrangements made in Jingyang City.

It's clear from her arrangements in Jingyang City that she wanted to place people around them.

She must have considered it before when she was in Ningxing Prefecture, but she didn't succeed.

But judging from the deployment in Jingyang City this time, she was clearly patient and planned to secretly plant people around them.

What caused her to abandon her original plan and leave Jingyang City with her people ahead of time?

There must be some reason why they had to leave.

Moreover, this reason was related to her unusual behavior during those days.

Ji Yunshuang carefully read Lu Yinheng's letter and discovered that Princess Chenxi's unusual behavior occurred in the days leading up to her battle with the mutated insects.

Perhaps her unusual behavior is related to the mutated insects?

The more Ji Yunshuang thought about the details of her previous interactions with the witch, the more likely it seemed.

Meanwhile, Lu Yinheng was also busy while investigating Princess Chenxi with Chi Xiao, and his mind was also rapidly analyzing the situation.

Just like Ji Yunshuang, he was secretly analyzing in his mind the reason for Princess Chenxi's unusual behavior and where she was going.

Based on the marks left by Zhong Boyi, they were going in circles, completely unable to figure out where she was going.

In addition, their speed was always slower than the other party's, which caused them to stay behind and not catch up with the other party for a long time.

If it weren't for the fact that Chi Xiao's performance didn't seem fake at all, Lu Yinheng would have had to wonder if this was a trap deliberately set by the other party.

Lu Yinheng felt that Princess Chenxi was going in circles.

In fact, Princess Chenxi was indeed going in circles.

She was originally in charge, controlling the other male insect and making it completely obey her commands.

But now, the male insect is completely out of her control.

The connection between them is also getting weaker and weaker.

She is now completely unable to find the other person by feeling.

Not only that, she also felt increasingly unable to control her body. Commands began to echo in her head.

Just like she had directed the other party before.

This filled her with panic.

If things continue like this, she might very well become their puppet...

This is not what she wants. What she wants is to become the ruler of this world and restore the glory of the ancient witch clan.

……

In the military camp, Ji Yunshuang received another letter from Lu Yinheng.

In this letter, Lu Yinheng briefly recounted his experience of leading a group to pursue Princess Chenxi.

To make it easier for Ji Yunshuang to see the route they had been following more clearly, he drew a map.

To Ji Yunshuang's surprise, the location of the blueprint was actually within the territory of the Qi Kingdom.

Looking at the blueprints, Ji Yunshuang suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Connecting the many clues in her mind, she came to a very bold conclusion: the witch might not be able to accurately find the other worm either.

She lost control of the other worm.

She was probably eager to regain control, so she went to find another worm.

Judging from the mutated insect she killed last time, the other insect's method of switching bodies with the priestess is clearly different.

The plague has now been brought under control in the Zhou state, and a few days ago many deserters from the Qi state fled back to Qi.

Because of the obstruction of Qi officials, they were unable to bring back the deserters. And it is highly likely that they were carrying insect eggs.

She didn't know how they swapped bodies, but she felt that another worm might come back to life among the deserters.

With that thought in mind, Ji Yunshuang immediately led her people to meet up with Lu Yinheng.

Qiongdu.

King Jing of Qi would ask his guards countless times almost every day whether the people he sent out had returned.

That day, King Jing of Qi, just like before, asked the guards if any news had come back.

After answering as before, the guard saw his displeased expression and boldly advised, "Your Majesty, Qiongdu is far from Zhengcheng, and moreover, this journey is of great importance. I'm afraid it will take at least half a month to return. Your Majesty should wait patiently."

How could King Jing of Qi not understand such a simple truth?

He asked countless times a day, simply because he felt uneasy and hated the Great Zhou. Even though he knew the truth, he still kept summoning the guards to question them.

He waved his hand, signaling the guards to leave first.

The guard bowed respectfully to him and was about to leave when a commotion arose outside.

The person who originally said he wouldn't be back for at least half a month has returned in a hurry.

The one who returned was Zhu Qi, a trusted confidant of King Jing of Qi.

He not only enjoyed the deep trust of King Jing of Qi, but was also extremely skilled in martial arts. King Jing often kept him by his side, asking him to do things that he himself was not comfortable doing.

People in the court all felt that he was like King Jing of Qi's other eye.

At this moment, the usually composed Zhu Qi was in a disheveled state.

Upon seeing King Qi Jing, he bowed deeply to him and said urgently, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The plague has spread to the territory of our Great Qi. What General Yao said is true. Many places have fallen."

King Qi Jing looked at the flustered Zhu Qi and was momentarily speechless.

Zhu Qi said anxiously, "Your Majesty, we must think of a solution quickly. Where is General Yao? Is he still alive? We must ask him how to cure this plague?"

King Qi Jing then suddenly realized what General Yao had said when he returned, as well as his strange attire.

He suddenly took a few steps back, distancing himself from Zhu Qi.

His voice trembled slightly as he spoke, "You...you came into contact with someone suffering from the plague?"

Zhu Qi nodded painfully.

King Jing of Qi sent him to Zheng City to investigate the truth of the matter, and he took more than twenty men with him.

But to his surprise, before he and his men even reached Zhengcheng, they encountered patients infected with the plague on the way, and then they all contracted the plague.
