Prince, kneel down quickly, the lady can't run away

"Stop, how can you go when you are so weak? Go back and rest. No matter who says so, you can't go today." Su Jinxiu was already angry. This brother-in-law whom he had not yet acknowledged was in such trouble at this time. The epidemic was dangerous and could kill people if they were not careful. How could he let her go in her current state?

"Yes, Miss Wen, your body needs to be taken care of now. You should go and rest first. I believe the prince will be fine." The second prince also came to persuade her. Only Gu Xiao looked at Wen Jiu, staring at her without blinking.

"Brother, listen to me, this matter is of great importance..." Before Wen Jiu could finish his words, he was knocked unconscious by Su Jinxiu's palm.

"Bai Zhi, go and help your young lady into the city to have a good rest. She cannot stay here. She cannot get involved in this matter. She is extremely delicate, and the epidemic is not something to be joked about. Don't let her out, keep an eye on her..." Su Jinxiu's face turned black.

"Yes, sir." Bai Zhi and Xuan Ling quickly supported Wen Jiu and went back.

"Qingfeng, go and take the prince and the other adults to the inn in the city to rest. Although we are not sure whether the prince is infected with the plague, it is best not to get close to here. Go quickly." Su Jinxiu said and did not move.

"Oh? Master Su isn't coming with us?" Gu Xiao asked, which was a rare occasion.

"I won't leave. I want to stay here. I'll stay here for my sister in case she sneaks over here. Please leave quickly, you've worked hard on this journey." After Su Jinxiu finished speaking, Gu Xiao seemed to see in this young man the deployment that a veteran who had been through many battles should make. He was calm, capable, and not arrogant or impatient. This Wen Jiu was also a wise woman. Oh, interesting, really interesting. It was worth the trip...

"Second Prince, let's go first." After saying this, Gu Xiao glanced at Su Jinxiu, his eyes full of admiration. He believed that he might be needed tomorrow, so he had to go to the inn to rest. He was exhausted from not being able to take a shower these few days, and he stank all over.

It was already dawn when Wenjiu woke up, and the discomfort in her body made her feel exhausted.

"Master, you are still a little weak at this moment, so you'd better stay here and rest! As for Master Xiao, it may really be the plague, so it's better for you not to go there. You are weak now and your immunity is reduced..."

"Xiao Jiujiu, do you have any medicine? My brother is still there. Xiao Jue can't die now. I still need him for many things. Even if he dies, it's not the right time for him now."

"Now there is only a prescription for enhancing immunity. Now that there is no examination, I really don't know how to deal with it. I can only..."

"You can only know by visiting the patient, right? Then let's go," Wen Jiu heard the chirping sounds outside and asked at the door, "Bai Zhi, what's going on outside?"

"Miss, are you awake? People outside heard about the outbreak of the plague from somewhere, and they were in a panic for a while. The fights on the streets became blatant..." Although Bai Zhi didn't want the young lady to know, it was a matter of time, and she couldn't hide it anymore.

"Xuan Ling, come with me," Wen Jiu got up, put on his clothes, and went downstairs without even having time to eat. He heard even louder noises outside.

"This is mine, give it to me."

"Please, this is our life-saving money, you can't take it away."

"Humph, I don't hit women. I need money to get out of town. I want to escape from here. Let me go." The sturdy man's legs were tightly hugged by the woman lying on the ground. She kept shouting in pain, "This is our life-saving money. Please, please, please."

Wen Jiu was about to stop them when he saw Gu Xiao, dressed in the bright red uniform of the East Factory, sitting at the table in the hall downstairs. He looked fierce and ate breakfast without even looking at anyone. His indifference made the two people who were making a fuss suddenly dare not move.

"Go on," Gu Xiao finished eating, took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and stared at the two of them with his arms folded like watching a play. The two people looked at the man in official uniform sitting there. Although they didn't know what official he was, he must be a high-ranking official. The woman lying on the ground seemed to have found hope. "Sir, sir, please do me justice. He is robbing us of our life-saving money."

The man saw this and quickly knelt down. "Sir, I have no other choice. I am afraid I can't stay in this city any longer. The plague has broken out. If I don't escape quickly, I am afraid I will die here."

"How dare you pollute my ears with nonsense!" Chang'an, who was beside Gu Xiao, shouted

The two people who were arguing were stunned for a moment, "I'm not lying, I'm afraid everyone has already run away by now, everyone has heard about this and is trying to find a way to escape from here."

"Plague? Who told you that?" Gu Xiao finally spoke

"It's spreading in the city" The two of them knelt on the ground and trembled

"Changan, have someone close the city gates and no one is allowed to enter or leave until the truth is revealed," Gu Xiao said to Changan.

"Yes, it is said that Prince Xiao ordered that no one should be allowed to leave the city gate yesterday. I will go there again." Chang'an said and hurried to the city gate.

"Sir, why is this happening? Now that the plague has broken out, if we don't flee the city, won't we just be left to fend for ourselves?"

"I don't care whether you live or die?" Gu Xiao didn't even look at them and picked up the tea to drink.

"Sir, as an official appointed by the court, how can you say such things? You are receiving a salary from the court, but why don't you do something practical for the court? You are dressed in fine clothes and fed with delicious food, and you are served by others, but have you ever thought about how we at the bottom of society live?" The excited woman was about to say something when she was interrupted.

"Haven't you performed enough?" Gu Xiao's four words made the two of them pause. Even Wen Jiu on the third floor didn't expect him to say this.

"What? What do you mean, sir?" The woman looked at Gu Xiao

"I just didn't expect that you all tribes have united together? Or is this your own plan in Miaojiang?" Gu Xiao spoke slowly.

"Your Excellency is wrongly accusing us."

"You? Aren't you supposed to be enemies?" Gu Xiao asked

"Oh, yes, yes, we are enemies."

"Since you don't want to say it, then don't live anymore. Let's discuss it." Gu Xiaomei smiled and the two people in front of her were in a trance.

"Sir...we...we really are not, please make the decision for me, Sir..." Before the woman's hand touched Gu Xiao, she was kicked away by Chang'an who had just entered the room.

"what......"

"Chang'an, it's solved." Gu Xiao's voice fell, and before Wenjiu could call for mercy, he was killed by Chang'an who was quick. Chang'an dragged the bodies of the two people to the back.

"Miss Wen, have you finished watching the excitement?" Gu Xiao turned around and smiled. Wen Jiu looked at the beauty and smiled. It was really a charming smile.

Wen Jiu was helped down by Xuan Ling. She looked not very well and walked slowly. Gu Xiao was still sitting there, waiting for her anxiously.
