Dugu Xin was just guessing at first, but as he thought about it more deeply, he became more and more certain of his guess.
"If it is, we'll know when we go up and take a look."
"Once we reach the other side, have everyone bring torches and insect repellent powder to avoid being bitten by rats."
"Send a pigeon right now and have the people from the No. 1 Manor under Heaven prepare a few more doctors."
"Also, write to the Queen of Daxia and ask her if she has any prescriptions for treating the plague."
"Also, have someone prepare herbs in advance just in case."
Although Han Yu felt that the matter might not be as serious as Dugu Xin imagined, he took action immediately.
If the plague broke out during Dayu's reign, they would likely be caught off guard by Dayu's queen if they were not prepared at all.
The iron boat crossed the river smoothly, but there were obviously more rats on the other side of the river than when they came.
Han Yu and others were well prepared. They held torches with insect repellent powder and quickly drew a large circle of powder around them.
The rats outside didn't dare to come in, and the rats inside couldn't go out. For the time being, neither side could do anything to the other.
The people behind received Han Yu's order and crossed the river one after another with medicine powder and torches.
After everyone came over, the rats saw that they were no match for their opponents and retreated.
Han Yu couldn't help but marvel inwardly, "Master, these rats are almost becoming spirits."
Dugu Xin looked a little solemn, and then he told everyone to be careful, and then quietly went up the mountain under the cover of night.
Just as the guard had said, there was no one guarding the mountain.
However, if it weren't for their extraordinary skills and the help of the medicine powder, it is likely that ordinary people would not be able to break through the rat's defense circle.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, everyone quickly went up the mountain, and around them, there was always a group of rats following them closely.
"Master, why do I feel like these rats are watching us? I feel a chill on my back."
Dugu Xin rolled his eyes at him in annoyance and said, "If you are afraid, you can go back now."
Han Yu shuddered immediately, then smiled awkwardly.
"It's not that I'm too scared, but I've always been a little disgusted by these gray guys since I was a child."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Let's go up and check the situation first, and then withdraw."
"The powder doesn't last very long. We only have one hour."
When Han Yu heard this, he immediately urged everyone to speed up, and then they went up the hillside.
After about half an hour, they finally climbed to the halfway point of the mountain.
However, when they saw the situation clearly, Han Yu almost vomited.
"F**k, this is too perverted. They actually feed the rats with dead people."
"I was wondering why they suddenly surrounded the mountain. It seems they really have other plans."
"Master, what should we do? Should we burn this place down?"
Dugu Xin shook his head, "Don't alert the snakes. I have a feeling they may have more than one place where they raise rats."
Han Yu suppressed his nausea and looked at Dugu Xin in disbelief.
"Master, do you mean this is just one of the places? Where are the others?"
Dugu Xin shook his head, then winked at everyone, and then everyone began to retreat down the mountain.
Everyone returned the same way, and when they reached the other side, Han Yu still couldn't help but feel numb all over.
"Master, what should we do next?"
Dugu Xin frowned, took a look at the surrounding environment, and then ordered everyone to go down the mountain.
"Let's go back and discuss a countermeasure first, then have someone search the surrounding area to see if there are any other fenced-off hills."
"Especially a place like Cangwu Mountain, which has both mountains and water."
Han Yu realized the seriousness of the matter and without saying anything, he immediately led everyone down the mountain and headed towards the branch of the No. 1 Village in the World.
In Daxia, in the Queen's bedroom, it was two days later when Ye Xiaoxiao received the news.
"What? Empress Dayu is actually artificially creating the plague?"
"She is simply playing with the lives of the people just to compete for power with Dugu Xin. She is truly despicable."
Shangguan Lingyun sat beside her and helped her calm down, but at this moment his brows were also furrowed.
"If it's really as Dugu Xin said, then Queen Dayu is not just fighting for power."
Ye Xiaoxiao turned her head and looked at Shangguan Lingyun in disbelief.
"You mean, Queen Dayu wanted the entire Dayu to be buried with her son?"
Shangguan Lingyun shook his head, "Not only Dayu, but also Dayu."
"Empress Dayu was extremely concerned about her son, and Emperor Dayu was extremely fond of her and her son. It's not surprising that she went crazy."
Ye Xiaoxiao frowned. "It doesn't matter if she goes crazy, but it's the people of the world who are suffering. This can't be allowed."
"We've finally managed to contain the flood in Lincheng. If the plague breaks out again at this moment, I'm afraid the people will riot."
Shangguan Lingyun pinched his brows and sighed, "I'm afraid it won't be a riot, but destruction."
Ye Xiaoxiao was very angry. She really didn't expect that Queen Dayu would criticize her so wildly.
"We can't just sit back and watch this happen. We must find a way to stop it."
Not to mention that Ye Xiaoxiao accepted the system's task, and now that she has both relatives and friends here, she can't let anyone destroy this world.
The more Ye Xiaoxiao thought about it, the angrier she became, and then she called out to the system in her mind.
"System, do you have an antidote for the plague?"
"Host, there is a book called 'A Treatise on Plague' in the library. Would you like to print it?"
