Shangguan Lingyun frowned as he read the introduction to the plague in the book, and only raised his head after a long time.
Ye Xiaoxiao happened to look at him, so Shangguan Lingyun temporarily put the books on the table.
"The plague is extremely dangerous and spreads quickly. Fortunately, this book contains a prescription to cure the plague. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous."
Ye Xiaoxiao was just a secret agent in her previous life. Although she had some knowledge of medicine, it was only superficial and limited to being able to treat some simple injuries by herself.
She had only heard of large-scale epidemics like the plague in books and had never witnessed it herself.
However, throughout thousands of years of history, plague has always been a major disaster with countless deaths and casualties.
Therefore, after hearing Shangguan Lingyun's words, Ye Xiaoxiao was very anxious.
"If the plague really breaks out in Dayu, wouldn't Fourth Brother and the others be in great danger?"
Shangguan Lingyun frowned, "Don't worry, we haven't found any symptoms of the plague yet."
"Our top priority now is to prepare enough medicinal herbs. Fortunately, we already have some experience, so it should be much easier to control this time."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, then called Tianxuan and asked her to prepare the herbs needed for the prescription as soon as possible.
"Oh, right, send someone to Dugu Xin and my fourth brother immediately, and tell them everything about the plague, without missing a word."
"There are also prescriptions. They must be delivered as soon as possible. Regardless of whether you have symptoms or not, you must prepare them quickly."
"Oh, and there's also some rat repellent powder. Have the people from Tianxia Diyizhuang deliver it to the border as soon as possible."
"Ordinary cats definitely can't deal with these mutated rats. Have someone post a reward for an animal that can kill the giant rats."
"If we could find the natural enemies of these rats, perhaps the plague wouldn't have happened."
Ye Xiaoxiao seemed to be talking to Tianxuan, but also seemed to be comforting herself.
Shangguan Lingyun hugged the somewhat uneasy Ye Xiaoxiao into his arms and then comforted her.
"Xiaoxiao, your husband is responsible for everything. You are pregnant now, so please don't overwork yourself."
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't want to be anxious, but for some reason, she always felt that this matter was a little unusual.
Moreover, she always felt a little uneasy in her heart, as if something bad was going to happen.
But she asked the system in her heart, and the system only said that it could not predict the future and did not say anything else.
Shangguan Lingyun looked at the somewhat anxious Ye Xiaoxiao and forcibly carried her back to the big bed in the bedroom.
"Be good, don't think too much. Promise your husband that no matter what happens, you will prioritize your own body."
Ye Xiaoxiao rubbed her aching brows and then sighed deeply.
"I hope I'm just worrying too much, but Dugu Xin sent word that he has captured Wu Gan."
"All we have to do now is capture the Muskrat King, and we'll have captured the Brainless. This trip can be considered quite fruitful."
Shangguan Lingyun patted her back gently, "Be good, don't think about anything anymore, close your eyes and rest for a while."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded and slowly fell asleep in Shangguan Lingyun's arms.
—Cangwu Mountain—
Dugu Xin brought everyone to a branch at the foot of Cangwu Mountain and settled down temporarily.
"Master, the mountains around Cangwu Mountain stretch on and the Cangwu River flows through many places. There are at least ten mountaintops like the one we encountered."
"I have already sent someone to investigate. We will have results in two days at most."
Dugu Xin nodded, then asked, "Where are the princess and the fourth young master of the Ye family?"
"Master, after they heard the news, they rushed over to us at full speed. It will take about four or five days."
Dugu Xin frowned and thought for a moment, then gave another order.
"Tell them to slow down and observe the people around them along the way to see if there are any signs of collective high fever."
Han Yu frowned, "Master, are you worried that someone has been infected with the plague?"
Dugu Xin shook his head. "I hope not, but it's always good to pay more attention."
"Fortunately, the people living along the border between the two countries are already familiar with the epidemic, so we don't think it will spread on a large scale."
Han Yu was a little worried. "Master, are you so sure that the Queen of Daxia has the prescription?"
Dugu Xin smiled faintly and nodded, "If we can't even help her, once she gets sick, I'm afraid we can only wait for death."
"Okay, don't think too much. First, find out the situation around you."
"Tell the brothers in the village to keep an eye on the news from the capital. Don't waste any time."
"Also, have the brothers prepare some more insect repellent powder and find some larger wild cats. The more the better."
Upon hearing this, Han Yu immediately went to do it. After Han Yu left, Dugu Xin paced back and forth anxiously.
Two days passed in a flash, and Dugu Xin finally received the news reported by everyone in the evening of that day.
"Master, as we expected, people in the mountains around Cangwu Mountain are breeding rats using the decaying corpses of humans and animals."
Dugu Xin's face was a little gloomy. He really didn't expect that Queen Dayu could be so vicious.
"Have you found out how many people the other side has?"
Han Yu's face looked a little bad. "Master, all the troops of the Qi family are stationed here. If we face a strong enemy, I'm afraid we will be at a disadvantage."
"And if we alert them, I'm afraid they'll release all the rats carrying the virus."
"Right now, the best way is to sneak in without anyone noticing, and then find a way to eliminate all the rats that are infected with the virus."
Dugu Xin frowned deeply, "It's easy to say, but it's not that easy to do."
