As soon as Qingzhou finished speaking, the door at the entrance was opened.

Behind the Lord of Youcheng was a skinny little girl holding a basket filled with freshly steamed white buns.

"The epidemic in the city is serious and the situation is very dire. I'm sorry that you can only eat some white steamed buns."

The little girl tiptoed and placed the basket on the table.

The Lord of Youcheng raised his hand, and the little girl retreated.

"Hey, eat quickly. I have already placed food at the door of the girl and child who were infected with the plague last night."

Jun Yichen stood up and bowed slightly to the city lord: "Thank you."

Yang Susu picked up a steamed bun and put it to her nose to smell it.

"Miss, are you afraid that the city lord has put poison in the food?"

The Lord of Youcheng laughed bitterly: "No wonder, in a situation like this, you should be more cautious."

Qingzhou has already placed a sword across the neck of the Lord of Youcheng.

"Excuse me, City Lord!"

He said coldly: "Our Master has something to ask you."

The Lord of Youcheng City looked at the sword across his neck, but he was not in a hurry.

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask. This city lord will answer all your questions."

Yang Susu took a bite of the steamed bun and said to Qingzhou, "This steamed bun is delicious. Qingzhou, put down your sword."

Qingzhou looked at Yang Susu, then at Jun Yichen.

Jun Yichen nodded, and Qingzhou quickly retracted his sword.

"We want to hear everything the city lord knows."

Jun Yichen's slender hands also picked up a white steamed bun from the basket, chewed it slowly, and threw one to Qingzhou.

The Lord of Youcheng sighed, took a small stool and sat down, and asked Yang Susu: "I want to know, the young lady said yesterday that she has developed 70% of the antidote for the epidemic. Is this true?"

Yang Susu slowly swallowed the steamed bun in her mouth and nodded: "Of course it's true."

"In that case, I will protect the girl at the risk of my life. Protecting the girl means that the people in these cities will have a way to survive."

Jun Yichen quickly caught the words in the words of the Lord of Youcheng: "How many cities?"

"Yes, the cities in Beiyan that have been infected with the epidemic include not only Youcheng, but also Lingcheng, Baicheng, and Yucheng. Among these four cities, Youcheng is in the better situation."

Yang Susu frowned.

The situation in Youcheng is relatively good, but the situation in the other three cities is much more serious.

"The epidemic started in Yucheng and spread from Yucheng. When it passed through three cities, we were shocked to find out. We then closed the city gates, applied medicine in the city, and waited for the court to rescue us."

“But the symptoms of this epidemic are really weird.”

"People who have the plague have sunken eye sockets, black lips, and are weak and have no pain, but they are extremely hungry, want to vomit when they see cooked food, and prefer raw food."

"At first, when they had food, they ate it raw. But they seemed to never be full. They would always want to eat raw food. Gradually, there was not enough food in the city. They began to eat humans, eating them raw..."

Speaking of this, Lord Youcheng's face was stained with a layer of deep sadness.

"This city lord is extremely scared and has been waiting for the imperial court's rescue, but the imperial court's rescue has not yet arrived in Youcheng."

"Alas, in the end, I can only protect myself first and take in those children who are not infected with the epidemic and keep them in my house."

"Now, the entire army of Yucheng has been destroyed, and I heard that no one survived."

Yang Susu only ate half a steamed bun and lost her appetite.

She asked, "Where are the children?"

"Those children in the South Courtyard are the ones that this city lord will do his best to protect."

Jun Yichen: "Since Youcheng has been infected with the epidemic, why did the city lord let people into the city?"

The Lord of You City showed a sad expression: "Those are not my people."

"Whose person?"

"Hey, your Majesty's people."

Yang Susu frowned: "Yelü Zhi?"

“Exactly.”

The room was silent for a while, and the skinny girl ran in again, covering her bleeding arm and said in panic: "Sir, I'm afraid the lady is dying."

Lord You seemed to have known that this day would come. He looked painful and knelt down in front of Yang Susu. "I know that you are proficient in medicine. Can you please go and see my wife who has been infected with the epidemic for a long time?"

Yang Susu had already stood up, holding a medicine box in her hand: "Lead the way."

Lord You was walking in a hurry. In such hot weather, he was sweating all over. He didn't know if it was because of the heat or nervousness. His hands at his sides were clenched into fists.

In the small courtyard, Lord Youcheng pushed the door open and entered.

Yang Susu took out masks from the medicine box and put them on several people before entering the room.

The Lord of You City's wife was tied to the bed.

She was skinny, with sunken eye sockets that were purple and black, and her eyes seemed to have lost their humanity. She was chewing a piece of raw meat that she had just bit off the little girl's arm.

She ate happily with a smacking sound.

After seeing Yang Susu and the others coming in, he was so excited that he wanted to crawl towards them, with his appetite clearly visible in his eyes.

Unfortunately, several thick iron chains on the bed bound her hands and feet, making it impossible for her to get up or get off the bed.

"Hui Niang?"

The voice of the City Lord was very gentle, filled with a lot of heartache and helplessness.

The familiar voice also made Hui Niang, who had lost her humanity on the bed, seem to think of something and instantly quiet down.

"Husband?"

The fierce light in her eyes gradually faded, her eyes were filled with tears, and her face was filled with pain.

She looked at the little girl standing at the back, covering her arms, and suddenly shouted, "I hurt someone, I hurt someone, husband, kill me, kill me..."

It can be seen that the two have a very deep relationship and are both kind people.

Yang Susu was about to step forward, but Jun Yichen grabbed her wrist.

He was worried about her.

She smiled at him and said, "Husband, everything will be fine."

He had no choice but to let go of her wrist and said softly, "Be careful."

"Um."

When Yang Susu was only one meter away from Hui Niang, three silver needles suddenly appeared in her hand and flew towards Hui Niang who was about to go crazy again.

The silver needle was inserted into the acupuncture point on the top of the head for 3.5 minutes, and Hui Niang fell into a coma.

Yang Susu walked in and found that Hui Niang's symptoms were more serious than the child Wangyou treated.

Lord of You City said: "Hui Niang was the first to get the plague. She still recognized me yesterday, but today she has lost her composure."

Yang Susu put on gloves and after checking Hui Niang's symptoms, she made a new discovery.

This Hui Niang not only contracted the epidemic, but also seemed to be possessed by evil spirits.

She put her hand in her sleeve, and with a thought, she took off a Buddhist bead, scraped off the powder on the bead with a knife, put it in the water, and poured it into Hui Niang's mouth.
