【196】No one left

Mo Yanchen hesitated for a moment, then reached out and gently patted Su Xueer's shoulder, trying to comfort her: "Are you sure you really don't want to go find him?"

Su Xueer slowly raised her head, tears still lingering on her face, her eyes full of confusion. Finally, she slowly said, "No need."

The next day, Chi Rui felt a little better after taking the medicine, so he put on the repaired black iron mask and went to the shogunate.

Mu Yuan summoned him to discuss the matter of Bijia Village.

As soon as Chi Rui arrived at the shogunate, he saw Mu Qingyao guarding the door.

Seeing Chi Rui, Mu Qingyao's eyes lit up instantly. She ran to him like a happy little bird and said coquettishly, "Su Rui, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Yesterday, she heard from her father that he wanted to invite Su Rui to his house to discuss something.

I got up early in the morning, dressed up carefully for more than an hour, and stood guard at the door.

Chi Rui just glanced at her coldly, nodded slightly in response, and walked straight into the shogunate.

Mu Qingyao didn't care about Chi Rui's indifference at all. She followed him closely like a little tail, and kept saying, "Su Rui, wait for me."

She trotted along behind Chi Rui, and her maid followed closely behind her.

Chi Rui remained silent and quickened his pace.

Walking into the shogunate hall, Chi Rui saw Mu Yuan sitting in the main seat. He stepped forward and saluted: "Sir"

Mu Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes swept over Chi Rui and Mu Qingyao, and said with a smile: "Qingyao, you go out first, Su Rui and I have something important to discuss."

Mu Qingyao stamped her feet unhappily and said coquettishly, "Dad, I want to listen too. Maybe I can help."

Mu Yuan's face turned serious: "This is a military matter. What do you, a girl, know? Get out."

Mu Qingyao didn't dare to disobey her father's order, so she could only look at Chi Rui reluctantly.

Although he wore a black iron mask every day, she was already irresistibly attracted by his temperament.

She left the hall, looking back every few steps.

After Mu Qingyao left, Mu Yuan gestured for Chi Rui to sit down and said, "Su Rui, the matter of Bijia Village cannot be delayed any longer. No one will be left alive within three days."

Chi Rui's deep eyes flickered, and the expression on his face beneath the mask became even more gloomy.

After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Sir, the entire Bijia Village has been infected with the plague and the village has been sealed off. The epidemic will not leak out. Why do you still want to destroy the village?"

Sealing off the village is equivalent to slowly destroying it, but Mu Yuan seems unable to wait any longer.

He said he was afraid of the epidemic leaking out, but in fact he was afraid that the fact that he was using living people to make medicine would be exposed, right?

Mu Yuan used living people to make medicine. If he succeeded, he wanted to use all the medicine on his private soldiers.

He turned hundreds of thousands of his private soldiers into immortal living dead warriors.

In this way, it would be easy to annihilate the Canglan Gang or go north to capture the imperial city and become emperor himself.

But this medicine has been practiced for ten years without any success.

Three years ago, a group of villagers in Shuiyuan Village in the east of the city were poisoned to death by the medicine he made.

Jiu never gave up. For the past ten years, he kept testing poisons on innocent villagers to make medicine.

Mu Yuan touched his chin and said, "It will probably take half a year for them to die. If it takes too long, there might be some unexpected events."

Chi Rui nodded: "Yes."

But he was thinking about how to save the lives of the villagers in Bijia Village.

After discussing the business, Chi Rui stood up and said goodbye.

As soon as I walked out of the hall, I saw Mu Qingyao guarding the door again.
