The guards hurried to protect the imperial physicians' carriage.

Yue Yang leapt to Mu Yunyao's side and brandished the long sword in his hand so that it was airtight, causing the arrows that were shooting at him to fall and protecting her as she hid behind the horse carriage.

"Master Four?

" Seeing that the Duke had just sent her to the back of the carriage and was about to turn around, Mu Yunyao worriedly called out.

"It's fine, wait for me.

" Yue Yang pressed down on Mu Yunyao's shoulder, his cold voice bringing with it a sense of comfort. Then, he turned around and walked into the darkness.

The imperial physicians' hearts rose to their throats. What was going on with this city? Why did it seem like they'd heard of an order coming to treat the victims? Not only were they not cheering, but they were actually going to kill them?

Mu Yunyao tightly clenched her fist as she focused on listening to the sounds outside. From time to time, the sounds of weapons clashing could be heard. After about fifteen minutes, the arrows suddenly stopped and the sound of a city gate opening could be heard.

Soon enough, the Yuwai King walked out with his men.

"It's fine now. Everyone, please prepare to enter the city.

"

Mu Yunyao quickly stepped forward to size up King Yue. Seeing that he wasn't injured, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

"Fourth Master, what's going on?

"

"According to the order given by the county magistrate, it should be the men of the Jin Emperor who have been beheaded by me.

"

"Master Four is taking too much risk, you don't even know the situation, how could you dare to rush in? If the enemy is prepared, or unwilling to open the gate, how are you going to protect yourself when the time comes?

" Mu Yunyao was infuriated in her heart. This person always charged at the very front, as if he didn't care in the slightest …

His own safety.

He had originally wanted to say that he was confident, but when he turned his head and saw Mu Yunyao's gaze, he suddenly stopped himself. He held Mu Yunyao's hand and clasped his fingers tightly with hers, and spoke with a gentle and warm voice in a slightly suppressed voice,

"Yao`er, it's my fault. I won't do this next time.

"

He was used to fighting with his life on the line. This was the way he had been for so many years in western Guangdong Province, especially when he was young, he had met a brave man on a narrow path. If he had hesitated, he would have died a long time ago. However, he had forgotten that he was no longer alone. He had Mu Yunyao and there was someone behind him worrying for his safety, hoping for his return. This feeling was as if he had tied a rope around his body. Perhaps in the eyes of others, it was the feeling of being bound and burdened. However, he felt that he had finally …

Now that he had a foundation, he had a reason to cherish his own life.

Mu Yunyao gripped her fingers tightly, wanting to use this as punishment. However, no matter how hard she squeezed his hand, she couldn't make him show any pain. Instead, her fingers turned red.

Yue Yang couldn't help but smile as he turned his head and poked the space between her eyebrows with his finger:

"Idiot.

"

Close to easy mental imbalance.

Upon entering the city, the city guards were immediately replaced by the guards brought by Yue Yang.

After walking a distance, Mu Yunyao suddenly frowned and turned to look at King Yue,

"Fourth Master, why do I feel that there's someone around?

"

Yue Yang nodded his head:

"There are indeed a lot.

"

Just as he finished his sentence, a group of civilians holding hoes, sickles and sticks rushed out. Torches lit up, and the faces of those people were filled with anger,

"Who are you people?

"Are you here to kill people infected with the plague?

"

Duke Yue looked at the man who spoke:

"Who do you want us to be?

"

"Stop talking nonsense, quickly tell me, are you here to kill the people who are infected with the plague?

"

One of the imperial physicians couldn't help but ask,

"We're not, we're doctors, are we here to save him?

"

"Impossible!

" The imperial government has already ordered for the citizens of Yi River City to be hanged. Now that there are people in the city who are infected with the plague, the imperial government will not let us off!

" The leader of the men shouted in anger. Behind him, the commoners behind him were all holding various kinds of weapons, their faces filled with grief and indignation.

"All of you get out, otherwise don't blame us for being impolite.

"

King Yue furrowed his brows and was about to say something when he saw Mu Yunyao take two steps forward and ask,

"Do you want us to kill those civilians infected by the plague, or do you want us to come and save them?

"

"Save her? How are you going to save him? With just you few, how can you save him?

" Many of the citizens' faces were sorrowful. Some of them even started to wipe away their tears. When people started to get infected with the plague, the entire city started to panic. The citizens angrily surrounded the magistrate court, hoping that the magistrate court would kill those infected with the plague. However, some of the infected citizens were enraged, and someone took advantage of them …

The watchman escapes unnoticed and drops of his own blood into the well.

After that, more and more people were infected, and the entire city fell into despair and fear. They had heard that in Yu City, where people were trapped to death, there were still many healthy citizens.

Fortunately, the County Magistrate's words calmed them down. They had to work together and save themselves, and if anyone broke into the temple city, they had to drive them out. In that case, they might have a chance of survival.

Mu Yunyao's forehead twitched, and she tilted her head to test the wind. Taking the medicine box from Si Qin, she opened up a bag of white powder and scattered it on the commoners who were blocking the path.

When the imperial physicians saw this, they hastily raised their sleeves to cover their mouths and noses, their eyes flashing with the look of someone watching a good show. Before, in the camp, there were also some people who had been incited to gather and cause trouble. In the end, they were knocked down to the ground by a packet of medicine from Princess Wen Xian. Then, regardless of whether those people were infected or not, they were all caught and beaten.

I still can't get up.

"You … You evil woman, used it …

" What methods?

The imperial physicians were counting in their hearts. In less than five breaths, all the people blocking the way collapsed to the ground.

Mu Yunyao looked at the guard at the side.

"Tie up your hands and feet and ask around tomorrow.

"

"Yes.

" The guards could not help but shake their heads. They did not have enough manpower, so if they wanted to tie up so many people, they might not be able to rest in the middle of the night.

Yue Yang contacted the people he had set up in the viewing city and found a place to stay for the time being. When the magistrate court was cleaned up tomorrow, they could move to the magistrate court.

After rushing for an entire day, with King Yue at her side to take care of everything, Mu Yunyao was very at ease and rested the entire night. The next day, when the sky had just begun to brighten, she was woken up by the noise outside. She frowned:

"Si Qin, is there trouble outside again?
