Yun Qinglu raised an eyebrow and said sarcastically, "If I don't leave the city, they will just launch a group attack and turn this place into a dead city. The people I finally managed to save will die because of me, and all my efforts will be in vain."

Besides, aren't you guys clearing the way? We'll get out of the city first, then find a place to hide. I've already planned it out; I'll use poison once we're in the forest. Since they wanted to capture us alive, they imprisoned us, stalling for time while waiting for someone from the capital to rescue us. You didn't fail to send a message to your master immediately, did you?"

Shadow shook his head. "I sent a message to His Highness as soon as I heard the news. I guess His Highness has received the message by now, and perhaps the rescue team is already on its way."

Yun Qingluo and Mo E exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

The message could be delivered in just one day; the secret method of transmitting sound is indeed powerful.

What Yun Qingluo didn't know was that this was just a special way for His Highness and their Xuan Guards to communicate, and it had nothing to do with any secret method of transmitting sound.

"Then let's leave the city, buy time, and wait for rescue." Although Yun Qingluo said this, she would never entrust her life to uncertain waiting. In short, once she entered the forest, she would have more time to think of a solution.

“Since Madam has already made up her mind, then we will follow your orders.” Seeing that Yun Qingluo had made her decision, Shadow secretly admired the woman’s courage and boldness.

Anyway, he didn't want the city to become a dead city, and Yun Qingluo's idea suited him perfectly.

"The back mountain of that temple on the west side of the city leads to the outside of the city. We'll go that way. First, send someone to scout the way. We'll set off in half an hour," Yun Qingluo instructed Yingzi.

The shadow nodded, indicating that it understood.

"Master, Uncle-Master, you'll probably have to come with us." Yun Qingluo said to her master and the Ghost Doctor as they entered the courtyard.

"Alright, what about the three of them, grandfather and grandson?" the Ghost Doctor asked.

Yun Qingluo looked somewhat confused, and it took her a while to remember who she was talking about.

She took a breath with some annoyance; she had been too busy lately and had completely forgotten to visit the grandfather and his two grandchildren.

At Yin Yi's request, they rented a small courtyard in an alley in the city, where the grandfather, grandson, and granddaughter settled. They thought she would visit it when she had time, but they completely forgot about it.

"Right now, it's best if they don't get involved with us. Hmm, Shadow, wait for me." After saying that, Yun Qingluo immediately turned around and went into the house.

She wrote a letter, took a lot of medicine from her spatial storage, and some loose silver, putting it all in a box.

"Give this to Yin Yi, he'll understand once he sees it." Yun Qingluo came out and handed the box to Yingzi.

After responding, the shadow left with the box.

"Master, please pack your things, let's set off," Yun Qingluo said softly.

"Alright, we don't have much to pack, just a few clothes, we'll be there soon." The Ghost Doctor pulled Master Yun Qingluo away.

Yun Qingluo led Mo Beichen back to the house, where Mo Beichen was somewhat shocked to see the medicinal herbs scattered all over the floor.

"Ah Chen, these are all medicines I left for the city lord. With Doctor Zhou here, we don't need to worry about the rest," Yun Qingluo explained.

Mo Beichen nodded, his tone casual and nonchalant, "We don't know what trump cards the other continents have up their sleeves. Luo Luo, won't you reconsider?"

Yun Qingluo could detect a hint of nervousness in his tone.

“Tomorrow is the second day. Even if these people don’t make a move tomorrow, they will make a move the day after. Just for my life, they’re sacrificing so many lives. It’s too heavy a burden. I’m afraid I can’t bear it. It’s better to fight with our backs to the wall. With you by my side, I’m not afraid.” Yun Qingluo said with a smile, holding Mo Beichen’s hand.

“Alright, let’s fight this battle with our backs against the wall. I will definitely bring you home safely.” Mo Beichen’s tone was firm.

"Yes, I believe you," Yun Qingluo replied with a smile.

Early the next morning.

The maid who was going to bring hot water to Yun Qingluo hurriedly ran to the front hall.

"Lord, something terrible has happened! Doctor Yun and the others have left!" the maid said anxiously.

She had also heard the rumors circulating outside: Doctor Yun, such a kind person, was actually a drug user, and now, to avoid implicating them, he had left the city lord's mansion. The maid prayed silently: Doctor Yun is such a good person; he mustn't be harmed.

Xu Sheng was shocked. He had specially increased the number of people last night, but they still left without anyone noticing.

He strode hurriedly towards Yun Qingluo and the Ghost Doctor's courtyard.

After searching around, there was no one in sight, but in Yun Qingluo's room, there were medicinal herbs scattered all over the floor and a letter.

"I am deeply grateful for the City Lord's care over the past few days. It is indeed inappropriate to take my leave in this manner. Please forgive me, City Lord... Please entrust the medicinal herbs to Doctor Zhou. He will make his own decision. I would be extremely grateful if the City Lord could take care of the grandfather and grandson in the west of the city. I hope we can meet again after this ordeal is over." Yun Qingluo explained the matter in just a few words.

Xu Sheng looked at the medicinal herbs scattered on the ground, his eyes welling up with tears.

Even though their lives are hanging by a thread, he still cares about medicinal herbs and the people. Doctor Yun is truly a benevolent man.

"Lord, should we still pursue Doctor Yun?" the steward asked hesitantly.

He has already gathered his men and is just waiting for the city lord's order to immediately go and bring back Doctor Yun and his party.

Xu Sheng waved his hand, sighed, and said, "Fine, since she doesn't want to burden the people, let's go along with her wishes. Find someone to invite Doctor Zhou to come and see how to put these medicinal herbs. Also, strengthen the city's defenses, set aside a street, and move all the people outside the city into the city."

"Yes, Lord City Lord." The steward and the lieutenant immediately split up and took action.

Now, the condition of the people in the city has improved significantly, and the condition of the people outside the city has also been brought under control. Since Doctor Yun arrived, no one has died. It was just about to end, but this damned thing has happened. It's truly a tragedy.
