After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

These days, contracting the plague is basically a death sentence, so when the soldiers heard that Xie Xing and Jun Lanjin had the plague, they were immediately terrified.

"What?! A plague?!"

"Yes, yes, sir, look at the face of the man she's leaning against, it's full of pustules!"

"We can't let them stay in the city any longer! Otherwise, the disease will spread and the whole city will be infected!"

The soldier quickly covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, pointed his long sword at Xie Xing and Jun Lanjin, and said sternly, "You, raise your head!"

Xie Xing grunted and quickly took two steps closer to the soldier, saying in a gruff voice, "Sir, sir, it's alright, sir. My man just has a face full of pustules, which makes him look a bit disgusting and makes it difficult for him to walk, but he's still alive!"

"It's nothing serious, sir."

"Sir, please don't drive us out of the city! How will we survive if we are driven out?"

Xie Xing said in a mournful voice.

However, with each word she uttered, the soldiers looked at them with increasing fear. As Xie Xing drew closer, one soldier quickly raised his hand and said, "You, you stop!"

"Don't come over here!"

The man who filed the complaint was so frightened that he turned and ran away, fearing that if he was too slow, the plague would catch up with him.

Just then, Jun Lanjin slowly raised his head, looked at the soldier, and said in a hoarse voice, "Sir, sir..."

Soldiers: "..."

"Drive them out of the city! Drive them all out of the city!"

Xie Xing: "..."

She stopped, her clear eyes blinking in disbelief. They were really going to drive her out of the city so easily?!

"Go and inform His Highness immediately!"

Of course, things weren't that easy. The soldiers surrounded Xie Xing and Jun Lanjin from a distance, preventing them from running around, and then stumbled off to report to Chao Le.

At this time, the city lord's mansion.

Chao Le was extremely stressed and his temper became visibly volatile.

"Report!"

Just then, someone stumbled over, looking terrified. "Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"

Upon hearing this, Chao Le stood up, looked at the person who had come, and asked, "What's going on?"

"People infected with the disease have been found in the city."

Upon hearing this, Chao Le's expression suddenly turned cold.

He waved his hand impatiently: "Do I really need to ask Your Highness for such a trivial matter?"

"Just drive them out of the city."

The soldier hesitated, glancing at Chao Le before speaking, "But Your Highness has just sealed the city gates. If we drive this person out, what if he's an imposter..."

These words reminded Chao Le.

He sat up straight in the chair and turned to look in that direction.

Yes…

Who are those two people?

The soldier replied, "They are a couple. The woman is ugly; just looking at her makes one feel disgusted. The man has contracted a plague; his face is covered in pustules, and he looks like he's about to die."

Just hearing what the soldiers said, Chao Le's face showed a look of disgust.

He waved his hand and said coldly, "Kill the man and throw him out of the city gate."

"Absolutely not, Your Highness!" the soldiers hurriedly said. "Your Highness is unaware that this plague originated from the mass graves. The dead breed the disease, making it spread even faster!"

"Drive them out of the city."

Chao Le refused to even glance at it.

Upon receiving the order, the soldier immediately turned and ran away.

Even after being driven out of the city gates, Xie Xing and Jun Lanjin never imagined that they would leave the city so easily.

The two looked at each other.

Xie Xing asked, "Your Highness, should we still contact your people?"

Jun Lanjin remained silent for a while before speaking, "Go to the military camp."

It's fifty li from here to the military camp, and it would take the two of them a long time to walk there.

Moreover, Junlan is currently unable to lift anything by hand or carry anything on his shoulders.

The moon is still hidden in the mountains inside the city, and it has not been able to emerge until now if the city gates are breached.

Being driven out of the city gate was unexpected for Xie Xing and Jun Lanjin.

……

the other side.

Song Ci'an carried Xie Yuze and fled the city overnight, until they returned to the military camp.

He brought the man directly into Xie Tongchen's military camp.

Xie Tongchen was secretly furious in the military camp, wishing he could rush into the city gates right now and wipe out Chao Le and the others.

Before Xie Tongchen could even get angry, he saw Xie Yuze on Song Ci'an's back when he discovered that Song Ci'an and Xie Yuze had barged in.

Xie Tongchen was stunned. He quickly stood up and walked towards Song Ci'an, calling out, "Xie Yuze?"

"Why is he here?"

"He's not..."

Wasn't he imprisoned in the Xie family, and I heard he almost died?

Song Ci'an was exhausted. With a cold face, he threw the man to the ground and said, "He was kicked by Luo Hanfeng, and his chest injury has relapsed."

Xie Tongchen bent down to examine it.

He immediately shouted, "Call the army doctor!"

"How is this going?"

Xie Tongchen looked at Song Ci'an.

Song Ci'an then told Xie Tongchen what had happened at the City Lord's Mansion.

Xie Tongchen pursed his lips.

How could Xie Yuze be with the Ghost King?

A short while later, the military doctor arrived and was shocked when he saw Xie Yuze's injury.

"Ouch, if this injury were any worse, I might lose my life!"

Xie Tongchen quickly said, "No matter what it takes, we must save him!"

The medic wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "This wound is easy to treat. It's been treated before. All you need to do is use some hemostatic agents and let it heal on its own."

"However, since the heart has been damaged, one must not experience any major emotional fluctuations in the future, otherwise anger and grief could lead to sudden death."

"What?" Xie Tongchen's expression changed slightly.

Just then, Xie Yuze, who was lying on the bed and in a deep sleep, gradually became agitated.

His brows furrowed tightly, and he shouted loudly, "Xing'er!"

"Xing'er! No! You can't be with him!"

Hearing Xie Yuze's shouts, Song Ci'an thought of what had happened in the passageway, and his face turned grim.

Luo Hanfeng!

"Xing'er?" Xie Tongchen glanced at Xie Yuze.

When did the third brother and Xie Xing become so close?

Fortunately, Xie Yuze only caused a few disturbances before losing consciousness due to excessive blood loss and becoming extremely well-behaved.

Upon seeing this, the military doctor quickly bandaged and treated Xie Yuze, ignoring everything else and focusing solely on Xie Yuze's wound.

After the wound was treated, the military doctor hurriedly left.

Xie Tongchen looked at Song Ci'an: "What is Luo Hanfeng doing in the city?"

How did he get into the city?

"Luo Hanfeng is the master of the Yama Palace in the martial arts world. He led the people of the Yama Palace to the City Lord's Mansion. What is his purpose...?"

Song Ci'an didn't know Luo Hanfeng's purpose, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "It should be the Tianshan Snow Lotus in the City Lord's Mansion."

"Snow Lotus from Tianshan?" Xie Tongchen frowned. "What is that?"

“A rare medicinal herb.” Song Ci’an pulled out a blueprint from his pocket. “I stole this from Chao Le’s study.”
