The father and son reached a consensus, and the emperor's mood suddenly became brighter.

If he couldn't find the three northerners, he would take his little ancestor with him to look for them. Smallpox was terrible, but he was not afraid as long as his little ancestor was with him, because smallpox could not do anything to him.

The little ancestor gave him magical fruits to eat and magical spring water to drink, so smallpox would definitely not be able to do anything to him.

It was getting dark, and there was still no news from the people looking for smallpox. The emperor changed into his casual clothes and planned to take Eunuch Yuanbao out of the palace, but was stopped by Li Sizu.

"Father! Let's go tomorrow! Xiaoxiao is already exhausted after a whole day. She will probably be asleep by now. Children need more sleep to be healthy. It's really wrong to bother her all the time."

The emperor lowered his head and thought, that's right, the little ancestor helped him earn a lot of money today, and also helped him kill the envoy from the northern country.

Going to see her late at night made him seem useless as an emperor, relying on a baby who was just over one year old for everything.

So he gave the order: "Make sure to capture those three northerners. No mistakes."

The dragon guard agreed and flew off to convey the order.

Li Sizu took out a golden pear, cut it into four pieces, and gave each to his father, mother, and sister.

Everyone knew that this was a good thing. The Queen and the Sixth Princess ate it with great relish, and they wanted to eat even the pear core.

The three people sent by the North Country were all infected with smallpox. They knew their mission and stayed around the beggars, hoping to infect them with the disease.

Unexpectedly, the Northern Kingdom's army suddenly rushed out to check, and the three of them took the opportunity to sneak away, planning to look for the beggars after dark.

Unfamiliar with the place, the three men ran to a stinky ditch outside the north gate and hid in the thatched grass.

No wonder everyone couldn't find the person after searching everywhere, even after expanding the search area. They only expanded the search area inside the city gate and didn't think of expanding it outside the city gate.

It’s not their fault. In people’s subconscious mind, beggars must beg within the city. Who would go outside the city?

There was no one outside the city, so it would be a waste of time for them to go there.

The sky gradually darkened, and the three of them had high fever, red cheeks, dry mouth, and general weakness.

He collapsed to the ground and didn't even think about getting up. With such a plague, death would be sooner or later. No matter whether they completed the mission or not, they would die in Dongsheng Capital anyway.

The three of them discussed it and decided not to leave. Instead, they lay down here, surrounded by mountains and water. Even after they died, they would have found a good feng shui location.

After it got completely dark, the moon quietly climbed up. The moonlight was hazy, and there were still a few stars hanging in the sky.

"This place is great, much better than our hometown. Being able to be buried here means that my trip is not in vain."

"It's fine where we are, but unfortunately we can't go back. No matter whether it's good or not, we can only wait to die."

"It's a pity that I failed to complete the mission. I have no strength left and may not survive the night. Regardless of whether anyone in Dongsheng is infected with our disease, I don't want to move."

As soon as the man finished speaking, an angry curse came from the stinking ditch: "Shut up! Shut up!"

The three of them were startled, looked at each other, then raised their heads and looked around, there was no sign of a human or even a ghost.

"Who is speaking?"

“I don’t know!”

"It sounds like a child, with a very immature voice."

Just as he finished speaking, a voice came from the stinking ditch again: "I'm the one speaking, do you have any objections?"

The three people's eyes fell on the stinking ditch, and their faces suddenly changed. The originally calm water surface suddenly had splashes, and then formed a whirlpool.

Afterwards, a head, neck, upper torso, arms, lower torso and legs appeared in the center of the vortex.

The whirlpool disappeared, and a boy about five or six years old walked out of the stinky ditch. His skin was very dark, like charcoal, and he had no clothes on. He was bare from head to toe.

The three of them were stunned, not understanding why this child was here, who was he, why was he not wearing clothes, was his family poor?

The little boy had a look on his face that looked like he deserved a beating, his arms were folded, and there was something evil in his eyes.

"You three are planning to wait here to die? You're just going to give up before the mission is completed?"

The three people from the North Country looked at the charcoal-haired child in surprise, and looked at each other, feeling inexplicably frightened.

"Baby! Who are you? Why do you know about us?"

"Yes! Why do you know we have a mission? Were you sent by those people to monitor us?"

"The people of Dongsheng are very vigilant. Not long after we arrived, they started a major inspection. We were strangers and were afraid of being discovered, so we left."

The charcoal-haired man smiled evilly: "Your affairs have nothing to do with me. I just want to borrow you for a while. Come on! Follow me, I guarantee that you will be safe and complete the mission you have."

The three of them looked at each other again, and they all thought that the child was bragging. They laughed, laughing loudly and mockingly.

"Hahaha! You're just a little brat. You're ugly, you have wild dreams, you don't know anything, you can't even wear clothes, what right do you have to tell us what to do?"

"I'm not going with you. We can't walk anymore. We don't want to walk anymore. We just want to die here."

"Go away, go away, you little brat, where did you come from? You don't know how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is. Go back to sleep and don't bother us."

“Bold!”

The charcoal-headed man sneered and waved his hand, and the three people were knocked to the ground like three leaves.

No, to be exact, he was thrown into a stinky ditch, face down.

The three were caught off guard and gulped down several mouthfuls of water, with a foul smell lingering between their lips and teeth.

Before they could open their mouths to curse, their bodies were lifted up from the water like leaves and fell on the shore, right where they had just been lying.

"You useless and ignorant human, if you anger me, I will kill you immediately. Get up and follow me. I am in a bad mood at the moment, so don't force me to do anything."

Three people from the North: "......"

Who was the one who did it? Not you?

"Sir, what do you want us to do? We are already very weak and can't even walk."

"Where are you taking us? The city gate is closed and we can't get in." Besides, you are half-dressed, which is really inappropriate.

"What do you want us to do?"

The charcoal-haired man grinned evilly, "Go and complete your mission. This is a special reward from me to them. As long as you are willing to follow me, I will find a way to send you into the city."

The three of them looked at each other again, wanting to ask, "Will it work if we say we don't want to?"

"Humph! You don't know how to appreciate my kindness."

The charcoal-haired man had a very bad temper. He raised his hand and grabbed the three people in mid-air, as if he was tying them together with something, and then kicked them.

The three people tied up seemed to have become a ball, tumbling forward in midair. When they were about to stop, the black-haired man kicked again, tumbling forward again.

When they arrived at the north gate, the black-haired man stretched out his hands, lifted the three people up, jumped up, flew over the city wall, and landed inside the city.
