I wonder if, faced with the death penalty for genocide, they would be willing to reveal the Shu King behind the scenes to save the lives of their clan members?"
Yue Qingniang, who was standing by, said, "Princess, after they came to take my husband away, a strange thing happened in our village."
Qi Yuning asked: "What's strange?"
"Not long after, more than 30 young men contracted the disease and died suddenly. At that time, our village was under lockdown."
"Sudden death from an epidemic?" Lu Ze instructed Deqing, "Go get the Shazhen County Chronicles."
Lu Ze looked through the county annals and found no record of epidemics. "There is no record of epidemics in these county annals."
Liu Tianfen said, "It's true. Many young men in the village died of illness at once. The bodies of these men who were infected with the disease were taken away and burned.
The most pitiful one was Aunt Wu at the entrance of the village. Her husband was killed by the people of the Northern Desert years ago. She worked hard to raise her son, but because her son contracted the plague and was taken away and burned together with him, she couldn't even find out which of the ashes were her son's.
Liu Tianfen sighed and said, "Mrs. Wu has been going crazy lately, saying every day that her son is still alive and well, and that he's going to marry the general's daughter."
"Wu Xiong!"
Qi Yuning and Lu Ze said in unison.
Qin Feng asked, "Who is this Wu Xiong?"
Lu Ze said, "There's no time to explain. We have to hurry back to Quan Town!"
Qi Yuning went to the desert and saw Lingling playing sandboarding and said, "Lingling, it's time to go back!"
Lingling said, "Mom, sandboarding here is so fun."
Lu Ze walked over, picked up Lingling, and said, "Come and play again when you have time. Now it's time to go."
With Lingling, Wu Xiong's mother, and Liu Tianfen and her daughter around, it was not easy to travel quickly.
In the carriage.
Qi Yuning's hands were trembling with cold. Wen Ban was one of his grandfather's disciples. Like Uncle Huo An, he was a good disciple that his grandfather treated as his own son.
Lu Ze reached out and took Qi Yuning into his arms and asked, "Are you cold?"
At night, although there was a charcoal brazier burning in the carriage, it was still very cold. Even the horses slowed down their pace in such cold weather when traveling at night.
Qi Yuning looked at Lingling, who was already fast asleep in Lichun's arms, and whispered, "If Wen Ban is also colluding with Beimo... I will definitely kill him!"
"It's not worth letting him dirty your hands." Lu Ze said, "Don't think too much. Get a good night's sleep. When you wake up, you'll be in Quan Town."
