Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Qingzhi pulled Tang Jinghong into the tent. “1 made something for you to eat. Try this silver fungus soup.”

Tang Jinghong liked sweet food. “When did you make it?”

Chu Qingzhi scooped the soup into a bowl and handed it to Tang Jinghong. “In the morning. Eat it quickly.”

Tang Jinghong stirred it with a spoon. “Aren’t you eating?”

“I’ll eat the snacks you gave me.” Chu Qingzhi carried the box over. There were some salty snacks in the box.

Tang Jinghong knew that she liked to eat salty food.

Tang Jinghong smiled. “Tell me when you finish it. 1’11 buy more for you.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and nodded. “Okay.”

In an empty village somewhere, Wan Zhilin temporarily stayed here. After hearing his subordinate’s report, he was shocked. “Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi solved the epidemic and the locust plague together? No one is dead?”

In the past, when such a disaster happened, it was always destructive. How could it be resolved so easily? How come no one died?

What was going on?

The subordinate knelt on the ground. “Master, I saw it with my own eyes. The refugees were laughing and smiling. They were all very happy under Tang Jinghong’s care.”

Wan Zhilin said angrily, “They’re homeless now. They have everything and they’re going to die. What’s there to be happy about?”

Wan Zhilin was about to go crazy from anger. If this continued, the situation that was absolutely favorable to them would be reversed.

He could not let it continue like this. He must get rid of Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi.

“Pass down my order. No matter what method you have to use, kill Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi!”

The subordinate replied, “Yes, Master.”

Wan Zhilin angrily brushed all the teacups on the table to the ground. The broken teacup was just like his heart at this moment.

After waiting for two days, Yuan Hongjun received a reply from Tang Jinghong that said “Tell me the location. I’ll rush over immediately.”

When Yuan Hongjun saw the letter, he was much at ease.

But just as he returned to the refugee camp, the last thing he wanted to see happened.

Not far away, a young man asked worriedly, “Grandpa, your forehead is so hot. Do you have a fever?”

When Yuan Hongjun heard this, he walked over as quickly as possible. “I’m a doctor. Let me take a look at your grandfather.”

The young man nodded with red eyes. Being sick here was no different from receiving a death warrant.

After Yuan Hongjun took the old man’s pulse, a chill ran down his spine. Malaria!

“It’s so cold, so cold..” A man beside him curled up and trembled as he shouted.

Someone at the side said, “It’s such a hot day, yet you’re shouting that it’s cold. Are you kidding me?”

When these words entered Yuan Hongjun’s ears, he instantly felt even colder. Malaria would not erupt at the beginning. Instead, it would brew for three to five days before erupting. When it erupted, it would already be serious.

He raised his head and looked around. Many people already had symptoms.

Yuan Hongjun rushed to the courier station to write a letter to Tang Jinghong. He told Tang Jinghong about the situation here and asked him to make preparations. historical

Then, he rushed back to the refugee camp.

When he reached the edge of the camp, he saw a man shouting, “It’s time to go. Everyone, prepare to set off.”

Someone said, “Someone in my family is sick. Let’s rest for a day.”

“Staying is equivalent to waiting for death!” The man had no mercy at all. “If you want to stay, you can stay. If you want to find a water source, follow me.”

A refugee echoed, “That’s right. If we stay, we’ll be waiting for death. Why don’t we give it a try?”

The man said loudly, “Pack up and follow me.”

“Great, I’ve been searching high and low for you!” Yuan Hongjun picked up a silver needle with his fingertip and threw it at the man who spoke just now.

The man quickly collapsed.

When the four men beside him saw the man fall, they hurriedly went forward to check.

These men were muscular and had deep eyes. They were clearly not refugees. They must be the man’s accomplices. Yuan Hongjun thought to himself. Then, he threw a few silver needles at them and knocked out the four men.

Yuan Hongjun stood on the spot and watched quietly to see if there were any other accomplices.

Soon, five more men ran towards them.

“I didn’t expect so many people to be hiding among the refugees.” Yuan Hongjun muttered. He didn’t show any mercy and knocked down the five men.

After waiting for ten minutes, seeing that no one stepped forward again, Yuan Hongjun took the opportunity to say, “Everyone, look. They’re all sick. How are they going to bring us to find a water vein? 1 heard that the Emperor has sent people to provide disaster relief. Why don’t we wait here?”

“Disaster relief?” someone asked. “Little brother, who told you that there is disaster relief?”

Everyone looked at Yuan Hongjun with bright eyes.

Yuan Hongjun pretended to be surprised. “You don’t know? The refugees on the other side have been properly arranged and even found the water vein.”

Someone asked hopefully, “Is what you said true?”

“Of course it’s true.” Yuan Hongjun thought to himself. The letter that Tang Jinghong sent him just now was very clear. He was also very impressed. As expected, Tang Jinghong was the most reliable. “If you don’t believe me, how about we go and meet up with them?”

He could not bring these people to the capital. Otherwise, they might cause some trouble.

Gui Yuzhou could not help but ask, “Little Brother, do you know where they are?”

Yuan Hongjun said, “I know. They’re outside Xu City. I came from there.”

From here to Xu City, with the speed of the refugees, it would take about ten days. If they were faster, they would arrive in six to seven days.

Gui Yuzhou was a little disappointed. “It’s so far. There’s no water along the way. I’m afraid we won’t be able to make it.”

“It’s not guaranteed that there will be water if we continue forward, but It’s guaranteed that there will be water in Xu City. Which one do you choose?”

Some refugees were tempted. “Little brother, are you really sure there’s water on their side?”

A refugee stood up and stared at Yuan Hongjun with a murderous gaze. “He’s lying to you. As far as I know, not only is there no water in Xu City, but there’s also a locust plague. Some refugees have even been killed.”

Everyone immediately became terrified. A locust plague? Why would there be a locusts plague?

Yuan Hongjun’s expression was cold. “You’ve always been with us. How did you know about the situation over there?”

The man said unhurriedly, “I came over yesterday. I know what’s going on there.”

Yuan Hongjun asked warily, “Why did you come here?”

The man answered flawlessly, “My family is here. I’m here to look for them.”

Yuan Hongjun looked down and saw seven to eight men sitting beside the man. They were well-built and stared at him like poisonous snakes. They did not look like refugees at all.

Oh no, there were accomplices..
