Fat Tiger, Skinny Monkey, Dwarf, and Bald Donkey looked at the gate of Yancheng and their faces turned green with fear.

"You...why did you bring us here?" Fat Tiger was terrified: "There's a plague in this city. You might not be afraid of death, but we are!"

"You...please let us go! The four of us are useless and can't help you at all. If you want to investigate the situation in the city, there is no need for you to bring four of us losers with you, right?" The bald donkey was almost scared to tears.

Unexpectedly, Yun Miao looked at them with a wicked smile and said, "I just need trash. Congratulations, you won the prize."

Mulansheng on the side took out the soft sword hidden at his waist and stabbed at the four people.

In a short while, the clothes of the four people were torn to pieces.

Although the lord of Yancheng escaped, the county magistrate and a few guards and constables were still struggling.

The sleeping guards on the city wall only heard a "bang!"

There was a loud knock on the city gate below.

Startled, they immediately stood up and looked in the direction: "Wh...what's that sound?"

The leading guard, wearing a masked scarf, held up a torch and shouted towards the city gate, "Who is knocking on the gate?"

"Sir, we are back to visit our relatives. Our family is still in the city. We hope you can be flexible." Yun Miao looked up and said to the guards above the city gate.

The guards looked at each other in bewilderment. Who would dare to return to Yancheng to visit relatives at this time?

A young guard wanted to open the door, but was stopped by the leading guard: "Wait a minute, this is a special period. I heard that the capital has sent people down. Let's first confirm the identities of this group of people."

"Yes, sir!"

If they came from the Liao border, they would naturally not be allowed to pass because they were afraid of the plague.

However, this person entered the city from the direction of the capital, so the possibility of plague was ruled out.

After all, everyone has fled Yancheng, so who would want to come back?

Furthermore, Yancheng had already been sealed off, with only entry and no exit permitted unless there were special circumstances, as they feared the spread of the plague. The refugees on the road were all residents of the surrounding area, not from within Yancheng.

The leader was still worried, so he followed his subordinates down to the city gate.

They opened the city gate and secretly looked at the six people in front of them.

At this moment, Fat Tiger, Skinny Monkey, Shorty, and Bald Donkey felt like they were kicked in the buttocks. Then they all immediately smiled friendly and stepped forward to ask, "My Lords, we really want to go to the city. Our family members are in Yancheng and their lives are uncertain, so why are you so worried?"

No! I don't want to go into the city!

It was this perverted woman behind them who actually threatened them with poison!!!

When the young guard who had opened the door a crack saw the faces of Fat Tiger, Skinny Monkey, Dwarf, and Bald Donkey, he immediately turned around and said to the head guard, "Huizi, they are indeed refugees. People in the capital shouldn't be this ugly..."

Fat Tiger, Skinny Monkey, Shorty, and Bald Donkey: …? ? ?

The head guard, perhaps relieved or otherwise, warned from inside, "You can only enter Yancheng, but not leave. Think carefully. If the plague in the city causes panic, you will absolutely not be allowed to leave. After all, the plague is serious, and Yancheng is the bottom line. If it spreads further, I'm afraid even the gods will find it difficult to control it. Think carefully..."

"We... have thought... about it." The four of them were in tears.

They really couldn't understand how Mu Lansheng and Yun Miao, two people of such noble status, could be so fearless of death.

There is plague here, not an ordinary disease.

Upon hearing this, the captain of the guards asked the guards beside him to open some of the city gates. He then extended his hand and said, "The entrance fee is one tael per person. Pay the money and I'll let you in."

One tael per person? So expensive? "Yun Miao didn't take out the money directly. When the guard heard Yun Miao's words, his face immediately changed: "If you don't have it, then don't come in."

"Okay... okay! Take out all your money and pool it together to see if you can get six taels of silver." Yun Miao actually had money, but they were now performing the role of refugees, so it was naturally impossible for them to take out all the money at once.

Yun Miao's face was covered in black oil and her hair was messy. Mu Lansheng had also changed his appearance and looked no different from the fool he used to be.

Fat Tiger, Skinny Monkey, Shorty, and Bald Donkey watched Yun Miao's claws reaching for their pockets and became anxious: "Money... that's a bit too much!"

Asking them to cooperate in acting and pay for it out of their own pockets, that doesn't make sense.

But they were obviously no match for Yun Miao. Yun Miao pointed to the purse hanging around her neck, which she had hinted earlier that there was poison inside.

The four of them could only obediently take out a large pile of silver coins and began to count them pitifully: "One, two, three..."

The guards behind the city gate could be heard adding to their attacks: "So poor, it seems they are really refugees."

You can't pretend to be poor.

Fat Tiger, Skinny Monkey, Shorty, and Bald Donkey can't fake the stingy look they have.

There is also the image, which greatly increases the score.

After paying six taels of silver, the captain of the guards let Mulansheng, Yun Miao, and the others into the city gate, and reminded them, "I advise you to wear a face covering. If you accidentally contract the plague, you will be taken to the crematorium."

After saying this, he didn't care about the six people's reactions and went up to the city gate to sleep, yawning.

Although it was night, in this precarious situation, people were afraid that Yicheng on the Liao border would be overthrown and it would be their turn, and they were also afraid that the plague would break out directly. Therefore, although there were not many bright lights in the city, there were many homeless people who were awake and had not fallen asleep on the streets.

Their eyes were numb, and many of them had fled from the small towns on the Liao border because of the war. At this time, Yancheng was their refuge, and they had no home.

Most people did not sleep. They looked at Yun Miao and others on the street with empty eyes, and their gazes swept over them, revealing a certain desire.

"Why are these people sleeping on the streets? Don't the government officials take them in?" Fat Tiger asked cautiously.

Yun Miao was also slightly surprised because the number of these refugees was really too large.

The child snuggled in his mother's arms without crying or making a fuss, obviously numb.

"Hurry, someone has fainted..." Someone's voice cut through the night sky.

All the refugees on the street were awakened instantly.

Their expressions turned panicked: "It's the plague, it must be the plague."

"Do you have a fever? If you do, take him to be cremated immediately! Don't let him infect us."

Not far away, an old woman knelt on the ground and cried, "My son just caught a cold, not the plague. Please, don't take him away!"
