The officers and soldiers didn't know what to do, so they stepped forward to ask, "Miss Jin, this..."
Miss Jin waved her hand and said, "Forget it. Since the two of them are willing to come in, let's close the city gate."
"yes."
The city gate slowly closed.
Miss Jin's eyes fell on Jiu'er and the others, and she told the female doctor who was accompanying her, "Take these doctors down and settle them down. As for this one..."
Her eyes fell on Jiuer, "He is so arrogant that he poisoned the city gate guards in front of me. Just stay with me and let me see how capable he is!"
Jiuer raised her little chin proudly.
The doctors who came with Jiuer looked at him with some worry. They had never seen Jiuer before and didn't know where this "little brother" came from.
But to be sent to Pingnan County with them, he must have real abilities.
The poisoning at the city gate just now really shocked them.
Therefore, they are somewhat worried about wasting talent.
But now that we have come to a place like this, there is no need to worry. We should prepare for the worst and do our best!
They said goodbye to Jiuer with solemn expressions, but Jiuer waved and smiled.
After those people were taken away, Miss Jin hummed, "Come with me."
There were no idle people wandering on the streets of Pingnan City, but there was an uncomfortable smell everywhere. From time to time, "fully armed" soldiers passed by carrying corpses wrapped tightly in sheets.
The shadow of death is always there.
After Jiuer followed Miss Jin for a while, Miss Jin took her into a secluded house.
As soon as you enter, your nose is filled with the strong smell of medicine.
The smell of various medicines mixed together.
There were many doctors and female doctors studying prescriptions and making medicines, and the courtyard was full of people.
Some of these people would hurriedly greet Miss Jin respectfully when they saw Miss Jin and Jiuer, but most of them simply didn't care and didn't have time to notice.
Miss Jin took Jiuer directly into a room inside the only quiet place in the backyard.
There was a faint smell of incense and a slight warmth in the room.
Compared to the lingering smell of death outside, entering this house feels like entering the human world.
Jiuer let out a breath.
Miss Jin glanced at her, and Jiuer smiled at him again.
Miss Jin said unhappily, "Wait for me here, don't wander around."
Jiuer smiled and said, "Good sister, where are you going?"
Miss Jin suddenly turned around and wanted to pinch her twice, but she forced herself to hold back. She smiled at her with a fake smile.
Jiuer sighed, sat down, and closed her eyes to rest.
I haven't had much rest along the way. I must rest and recover my energy before I can do anything else.
Soon, the sound of the door opening was heard, and Miss Jin threw a few clean men's clothes into Jiuer's arms, "There is a hot spring pool behind the house."
Jiuer picked up the clothes and took a look. The texture was very soft and the size was just right for a twelve or thirteen year old boy. It was perfect for her.
Jiuer didn't act pretentiously. She picked up her clothes and went to take a shower.
When Jiuer came out of the shower, the "Miss Jin" in the room sat with her back to her. It was obvious that she had bathed somewhere else. At this moment, she was wearing a loose moon-white robe, and her long black lotus-like hair was still damp.
Jiuer approached with a smile, "Should I call you Sister Jin or Duan Rong?"
At this moment, both of them returned to their original appearance.
Duan Rong raised his eyelids slightly, resisting the urge to strangle her to death, "Even if you call me dear husband, I still want to strangle you to death."
"You wish." Jiuer snorted, and turned to eat the food that Duan Rong had prepared long ago with familiarity.
After eating for a while, Jiuer asked, "What is the current situation in the city?"
Meanwhile, in Kyoto, the Imperial Palace.
Emperor Cangyu lowered his brows and glanced at the man in black in front of him.
"Seven days have passed, and you still can't contact the people in Pingnan City?"
The man in black gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the news in Pingnan City has indeed been cut off. We originally wanted to find out from Pingnan County indirectly. Even the people in Pingnan County don't know the situation in Pingnan City..."
"Heh." Emperor Cangyu laughed meaningfully, and the man in black lowered his head lower and lower, not daring to raise it at all.
"Where's Duan Jiu?"
The man in black took a deep breath before replying, "Based on the pace of the team sent by the General's Mansion, they should have entered Pingnan County today."
After a pause, he continued, "However, there are a total of ten doctors in our group, and many of them are small in stature. We cannot get too close to investigate. Currently..."
"We still don't know which one of those people is the disguised Duan Jiu, right?"
The black-clad man who was already kneeling kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please punish us, our servants are incompetent!"
"You are quite incompetent. I spent so much effort to train you just to compete with those raised by the Dark Emperor, but the result is..."
He sneered, "This is the answer you gave me!"
The man in black kowtowed repeatedly, "It is because of our incompetence that we have let Your Majesty down!"
Emperor Cangyu sighed heavily, feeling that the man in black in front of him was simply slapping him in the face.
I find his teachings so boring and it really makes me annoyed.
In Kyoto these few days, ever since Jiuer and others left the General's Mansion in such a large group, those who had been keeping an eye on Jiuer inevitably discovered some clues.
The news that a plague had occurred somewhere began to spread among a small number of people.
The seemingly calm Kyoto also began to become unstable.
Let’s talk about Jiuer in Pingnan City. After a night’s rest, she regained her energy the next day. When she was about to leave the house after packing up, she was stopped by Duan Rong who appeared out of nowhere and turned into Miss Jin.
"Where are you going?"
Jiuer said, "There is no one infected with the disease in this house. How can we find a cure if we don't actually observe the condition of those infected with the disease?"
"There are people here delivering the most detailed information about the patients at all times, so you don't have to go there in person."
"That's different. Even if the conditions reported were written down based on observations by highly skilled doctors, each person will see something different. So what is written down will also be different." Jiuer spoke based on the facts.
Duan Rong laughed, stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek, leaned down slightly to look at her, "Murong Jiu, do you believe I can tie you up?"
Jiuer blinked, "Husband~ I want to live and die with you~"
Duan Rong: “…”
Jiuer took the opportunity to hold his arm intimately and smiled at him tenderly, "I'm here now, and you've left me behind. You'd better take me to see the patient quickly. Otherwise, we really can only live and die together in this city."
She even added three words with a long tone, "Jin-jie-jie~"
