Upon hearing this, Sun Erlang said without even looking up, "Brother, they won't be that merciful."

Upon hearing this, Sun Dalang struggled desperately to look in Sun Erlang's direction and said, "Erlang, you can't say it, you absolutely can't say it."

Hearing this, Sun Erlang felt a little guilty, but he still looked at Zhao Zexuan and said, "I'll give you the prescription, and you can let me go."

Zhao Zexuan had been watching the argument between Sun Dalang and Sun Erlang the whole time. It wasn't until Sun Erlang spoke up that he said, "Who said I wanted your prescription?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Dalang and Sun Erlang simultaneously raised their heads and stared at Zhao Zexuan in disbelief, seemingly unable to believe what they had just heard.

Looking at Zhao Zexuan, Sun Dalang said in an uncertain tone, "Impossible, how could you not need a prescription? You must be lying to me, lying to us."

Liu Quan, who was standing next to Zhao Zexuan, sneered when he heard this and said, "Fools, what do you have that we would be willing to deceive?"

Being called a fool, Sun Dalang's face darkened, but he remained firm in his belief, saying, "You're just lying to me, thinking that this will make us hand over the prescription easily."

Seeing that Sun Dalang refused to believe it, Liu Quan said, "Believe it or not, it's up to you."

Liu Quan spoke with certainty and certainty, which made Sun Dalang and Sun Erlang somewhat flustered, but they still refused to believe it.

Whether the two believed it or not didn't matter, since the facts were already there. But thinking about how busy they had been lately, Liu Quan was a little unwilling, so he leaned closer to Zhao Zexuan and whispered a suggestion to take the two of them back.

The suffering endured by the people outside the city stemmed from Sun Dalang's ambition. It would be a waste to simply deal with them like this. At least before dealing with them, let the people know the truth.

Zhao Zexuan had no objection to Liu Quan's suggestion. He said, "Then let's bring the two of them along and let them know whether we have the prescription or not."

Upon hearing this, Liu Quan happily agreed and excitedly ordered his soldiers to tie the man up and take him back.

Because they were well-prepared, the battle went smoothly and was quickly resolved. After leaving some soldiers to clean up the battlefield, Zhao Zexuan led his generals back to the city.

Outside the city, inside the camp, things were bustling with activity. A large quantity of medicinal herbs had been delivered ahead of schedule, keeping Doctor Liu and the others extremely busy.

Preoccupied with treating the patients in the camp, Doctor Liu didn't have time to pay attention even when he saw Zhao Zexuan leading soldiers back to the camp. By the time he finished his work, the soldiers had already arrived.

In the camp, just like last time, two people were kneeling on the ground, but Doctor Liu seemed to be used to it. He bowed without looking at them and then asked, "General, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zexuan inquired, "How is the situation in the camp? How are the patients?"

Hearing Zhao Zexuan's words, Doctor Liu had no doubts and said directly, "Thanks to the several carts of medicinal herbs that the general sent back, the condition of those seriously ill patients has improved, and those with mild symptoms are expected to recover in a few more days."

Sun Dalang and Sun Erlang heard these words the whole time, and they became extremely excited, struggling to speak.

Noticing their reactions, Doctor Liu asked curiously, "Who...who are they?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zexuan gestured to Doctor Liu before instructing the soldiers to remove the rags from the mouths of the two men.

Sun Dalang, whose rag had been removed, immediately shouted at Doctor Liu, "What you said is all false, you're lying to us!"

Hearing Sun Dalang's words for no apparent reason, Doctor Liu was puzzled and asked, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by fake?"

Liu Quan had wanted to speak up as soon as Sun Dalang spoke, and now, after hearing Doctor Liu's question, he said, "He thinks what you said about the improvement of the plague is false and incorrect."

Upon hearing Liu Quan's words, Doctor Liu frowned and said, "Why would I lie about this? It's all obvious. Why would I deceive people?"

Sun Dalang and Sun Erlang could clearly see the expression on Doctor Liu's face, and they also vaguely realized that perhaps Zhao Zexuan and the others were not lying.

"If you want to know whether this person has been cured or not, then call him over so you can see for yourselves. You'll know immediately," Liu Quan said with a smile, but these words filled Sun Dalang and Sun Erlang with dread.

Perhaps believing Liu Quan's words, Sun Dalang and Sun Erlang hurriedly shouted, "No, there's no need to shout."

Now that things have come to this, whether or not to call for help is no longer up to Sun Dalang and Sun Erlang; the decision is made by Zhao Zexuan.

Zhao Zexuan had been considering it, but now he made up his mind. He said to Liu Quan, "Call everyone here and let them see who caused this trouble."

Zhao Zexuan's instructions struck a chord with Liu Quan, so Liu Quan immediately agreed happily and turned to leave the tent without hesitation.

Seeing the people leave the tent, Sun Dalang and Sun Erlang panicked and hurriedly shouted, "Don't go! We were wrong! We know we were wrong!"

However, no one paid any attention to the brothers Sun Dalang and Sun Erlang, nor did anyone care about what they said.

Dr. Liu overheard this conversation and had some vague guesses in his mind, but he did not ask any questions. Instead, he stayed aside and observed the situation.

Liu Quan moved quickly, and soon there was a commotion outside the tent. Hearing the commotion outside, Zhao Zexuan led his men out of the tent without needing to be informed.

Upon hearing the commotion outside, Sun Dalang and Sun Erlang were immediately terrified; as the situation became urgent, they began to feel fear.

The two clearly expressed their unwillingness to go out, but no one cared, and the soldiers simply dragged them out.

Many people stood outside the tent; they were all people who had recovered from the plague. As they watched Zhao Zexuan emerge, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to him, saying, "Thank you, sir! We will never forget your great kindness."

As soon as he stepped out of the tent, Zhao Zexuan saw this scene. He then said, "Everyone, get up. It's good that you're all recovered."

Perhaps it was because Zhao Zexuan's tone was gentle, lacking the arrogance of officials they were used to, that many commoners became much bolder. They looked at Zhao Zexuan expectantly and asked, "Sir, can we join you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zexuan did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at one of them and asked, "Could you tell me first when you contracted the plague and how you were infected?"

The villagers outside were surprised that Zhao Zexuan would ask such a question. They thought he was going to do something else, so they quickly replied, "I don't remember the exact date, but it was about a month ago. Someone in the village felt unwell and asked a doctor to see him. They couldn't find the cause, but the illness just spread."
