Han Yu didn't answer him again, but just smiled faintly and drove the man away.
The deputy general looked at Han Yu who turned and left, and the complexity in his eyes became even stronger.
He unconsciously walked towards where Qi Yuan was, but when he reached Qi Yuan's door, he suddenly stopped.
At this moment, Qi Yuan, who had a bad premonition, just walked out of the room and ran into the absent-minded deputy general head-on.
"Didn't I tell you to go find the Muskrat King? What are you doing here?"
The deputy general was about to say that the Musk Rat King had been captured by Dugu Xin, but he suddenly felt a dull pain in his heart for no reason.
Seeing him standing there stupidly and refusing to speak, Qi Yuan, who was already impatient, became even more annoyed.
"I'm talking to you, why are you standing there like an idiot?"
The deputy general came back to his senses, and fearing that Qi Yuan would notice something unusual, he immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"General, I just took a look around. Although I didn't find the Rat King, I did find a few baby rats."
"Judging from their appearance, I think the Rat King is having fun somewhere else. I was afraid you would worry, so I came back to report."
Qi Yuan had no doubts and his heart was at ease after hearing the deputy general's report.
"I'm glad that the Rat King is okay. You don't look very well. If you are okay, go back and rest."
The deputy general thanked him, and then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead when Qi Yuan was not looking.
He hurried back to his residence and the deputy general immediately called for a military doctor.
Everyone had been stationed on the mountain for a long time, so it was normal to have a headache or fever, so the military doctor didn't pay too much attention to it.
"Lieutenant General Liu, where are you feeling unwell? Let me take a look at you."
Lieutenant General Liu waved at the military doctor. Although the military doctor was a little confused, he still put his ear close to him.
"Military doctor, please feel my pulse. Don't make any noise. Check if I have any signs of poisoning."
The military doctor was startled. "Deputy General Liu, could it be that you were bitten by the Rat King?"
Lieutenant General Liu shook his head, but stretched out his wrist. Although the military doctor was puzzled, he still put his hand on it.
After a long moment, the military doctor frowned, "Lieutenant General Liu, your pulse is a little strange. It sounds like poisoning, but not like the plague."
Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Liu immediately ordered the military doctor to take his own pulse. The military doctor became even more confused, but could not stand Lieutenant General Liu's urging.
After a long time, the military doctor looked at Lieutenant General Liu with a pale face.
"Deputy General Liu, what's going on? Could it be that we've all been infected with the disease without realizing it?"
"But that's not right. I took my own pulse yesterday. How could I have contracted the epidemic overnight?"
The military doctor looked unhappy, and Lieutenant General Liu looked even worse, and then he quietly gave instructions to the military doctor.
"Military Doctor, please go and take the pulses of the other lieutenant generals and lieutenant commanders now. Remember, do not make any noise. If anything happens, report back to me first."
The military doctor wanted to ask more questions, but Lieutenant General Liu had already left with a frown. The military doctor had no choice but to do as he said.
It took the military doctor a whole morning to check the pulse of everyone with a certain status in the army.
"Lieutenant General Liu, what's going on? The other lieutenant generals and lieutenants have all been poisoned."
"I also checked the pulses of the soldiers I met along the way, and they all showed signs of poisoning."
"But I've looked through medical books for a long time and haven't found anything similar to any epidemic disease."
After the military doctor finished speaking, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but after hearing this, Lieutenant General Liu calmed down.
"Doctor, do you trust me?"
When the military doctor heard this, he dared not deny it and nodded heavily.
"Deputy General Liu, human lives are at stake. Please stop keeping us in suspense."
Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Liu briefly recounted his meeting with Dugu Xin.
"What? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just down the mountain? The poison was given by the Crown Prince. Why?"
Lieutenant General Liu smiled bitterly, "Why do you say that? The Qi family is the Queen's maternal family, and the Queen and the Crown Prince have never gotten along."
"Besides, others may not know why we came here, but don't you know it?"
When the military doctor heard this, his face turned pale, and then he looked at Lieutenant General Liu tremblingly.
"According to you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already seen through the Qi family's plan, and is now giving us an opportunity?"
Lieutenant General Liu smiled bitterly, "For some, it's an opportunity, but for others, it's a murderous intent."
The military doctor became even more anxious upon hearing this. "Deputy General Liu, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has told you this, it means you have a chance."
"Lieutenant General Liu, we have known each other for many years. You can't just stand by and watch someone die."
Lieutenant General Liu smiled bitterly, "So the military doctor means he's already made a decision?"
The military doctor nodded, and Lieutenant General Liu said seriously, "Military doctor, you have to think it over carefully."
"If this matter were to be exposed, we would have completely offended the Queen."
"Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now in great glory, the Empress is deeply favored by the Emperor. If she follows the Crown Prince, then in the future..."
When the military doctor heard this, he patted Lieutenant General Liu on the shoulder and then said.
"Lieutenant General Liu is confused. Confronting the Queen is a matter for the future, but right now, it could be fatal."
"If there's no antidote, everyone will die. There's no chance to think about it."
"Moreover, judging by the current situation, it's not that His Highness wants anything from us, but that he wants to let us go."
"To be honest, ever since I found out the purpose of coming to Cangwu Mountain, I've been scared."
"If the plague really spreads throughout Dayu, then we will be Dayu's eternal sinners."
"Deputy General Liu, don't overthink it. Go and gather your brothers quickly. If you're any later, I'm afraid there will be no chance."
Lieutenant General Liu had been friends with the military doctor for many years, so he was more or less willing to listen to what the military doctor said.
"Deputy General Liu, don't hesitate. The current Qi Family Army is no longer the same as before. This is an opportunity, you must seize it."
"Think about it carefully. I'm going to go back and pack my things and talk to some old friends."
After the military doctor finished speaking, he left in a hurry without waiting for Lieutenant General Liu to reply.
Lieutenant General Liu thought about it again and again and finally made a decision. Then he went to various places on the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, after Dugu Xin released Deputy General Liu, he no longer cared about what was happening on the mountain.
After asking Han Yu, he learned that Ye Xiaoxiao and the others had already set off. Since he had nothing to do for the time being, he rushed towards where Ye Xiaoxiao and the others were.
When he came to the two of them, Wang Xiao and others were already ready to go into the water.
"Why are you here? Are you ready for everything on the mountain?"
When Ye Xiaoxiao saw Dugu Xin coming, she immediately asked with concern.
Dugu Xin smiled faintly, "Thank you for the pills. By now, everyone on the mountain must have noticed something."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded. Seeing that everyone was ready, Shangguan Lingyun ordered them to go into the water.
"Everyone, be careful. That bigmouth catfish is a carnivorous fish. Be careful not to get bitten by it."
Wang Xiao nodded and prepared to go into the water with his men. When Dugu Xin saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Don't they say that bigmouth catfish like to come out at night? Can we catch them in the water in broad daylight?"
