Ever since this group of people entered the City Lord's Mansion, Pei Chun heard clearly what they did.

But time was running out, and she no longer had the energy to deal with the Sixth Prince's affairs.

As soon as she put down the brush, Qingyan took a letter in her mouth and flew towards the Pei family in the capital of Zhao State.

Just as she finished packing her things, she saw Gu Yuan running back in a hurry.

Gu Yuan had a lot of things, but everything he needed to take was in the two small packages around his waist.

All that was left were the messy powder boxes on the table, which needed to be put into the package.

"Mingcheng, why don't I go to Yan State alone? It's too dangerous there. I don't want you to fall into danger."

Gu Yuan said this in a wronged tone as he bent down and swept the powder box on the table into his bag.

Pei Chun saw that he had packed himself up in the blink of an eye, and shook his head: "Third brother is deep in the tiger's den, and there is no one to help him. I must go to save him."

Gu Yuan felt a little more relaxed, and was certain that Ming Cheng would go to Yan State with him, so he stopped trying to persuade her.

He threw the bag on his back, walked to the door, turned around, raised his palm in the backlight, and smiled at Pei Chun: "In this case, Mingcheng will go with me."

He actually knew that Pei Chun would definitely go, but he still wanted to test whether Pei Chun would firmly choose him.

Pei Cui was forced to stay in the wilderness. He glanced at the imperial edict in his hand.

He saw what was written on it at a glance - an order for him to eliminate the epidemic in the wild land within half a year.

Otherwise, he would be beheaded by the Empress Dowager after returning to Beijing.

Pei Cui: “…”

This time limit...

He secretly spat out a mouthful of blood in his heart.

He didn't want to kill these unconscious living dead in front of him.

But how could he possibly figure out a way to remove the poison within half a year and restore a living dead like this to a normal human appearance?

Pei Cui sighed in his heart.

Just as he was about to complain, he saw Pei Chun and Gu Yuan had already packed their things and were getting ready at the door of the City Lord's Mansion.

Pei Chun took the imperial edict, and after a while, quietly gave Pei Cui an unethical suggestion.

"Brother, there is indeed an epidemic in the wilderness, have you forgotten?

The imperial edict only said that you should treat the plague, but it did not say that you should recover these living dead."

Pei Cui: “…”

Pei Chun was not wrong. There was indeed an epidemic in the wild land, and it was because many zombies ate human flesh and then infected each other with the disease.

The temperature on their bodies was terribly high, which was clearly a symptom of the epidemic.

Pei Cui finally breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this.

Gu Yuan on the side added: "If Second Brother is bored and wants to cure these people of their disease, he can start with the cannibals outside the city gate.

They can jump and dance, but they don’t have any symptoms of burning sensation.”

The living dead outside the city hold cannibalism bonfire ceremonies every evening. They look very healthy, so how could there be any epidemic?

However, all the living dead in the city who were also eating human flesh were infected with the disease.

Thinking about it, this matter is strange.

After Gu Yuan finished speaking, he took out a square bamboo box from his pocket.

He made this up himself in order to imitate Pei Chun's craftsmanship.

"Here, second brother, this is the poisonous insect I forced out of the body of the leader of the cannibal tribe outside the city.

This poisonous insect was created by the brothers Qin Yu and Qin Liao. I haven't figured out how to cure the symptoms of the cannibals eating human flesh.

For the time being, we can only force the poisonous insects out of their bodies."

Gu Yuan only said this and handed the box to Pei Cui.

He didn't have time to continue studying the insect and helping those infected with the animal flesh insect survive.

Therefore, this matter can only be studied by Pei Cui who is here.

Pei Cui understood Gu Yuan’s meaning. He reached out to take the small bamboo box, opened it and took a look.

I saw an extremely small black snake coiled in it, and in the middle of the snake was a black poisonous insect so small that it could not be seen by the naked eye.

"This snake is my poisonous insect. Don't worry, brother. As long as it is here, the poisonous insect will not be able to escape."

Gu Yuan only said this in a hurry, then he and Pei Chun mounted their horses. The two did not say much and waved hurriedly to Pei Cui.

He rode his horse southward toward the State of Yan.

In less than half a day, the Sixth Prince and half of the Royal Guards he brought with him left the city.

Next came the Minister of Justice Zhang Wanmou, Imperial Physician Zhang, and Jiang Xingren.

Then came his sister and brother-in-law.

Only half of the Royal Guards were left in the entire city, along with the doctors who were finally relieved from the heavy pressure.

At this time, a member of the Imperial Guards who was guarding the city gate walked up to Pei Cui and asked, "Second Master, what should we do?"

The Royal Guards looked nervous, as if they didn't know how to get along with him.

Pei Cui retracted his gaze from the distance and smiled slightly: "Let's gather these living dead together first."

He had to work with this group of doctors to prepare some medicine to treat high fever symptoms.

Beijing.

Pei Qing finally ended his trip to the south of the Yangtze River and returned home with his wife Shi Wan.

When I came to pay my respects to my father and mother, I saw my mother limping out, supported by my father.

Pei Qing's face was slightly gloomy. On the way, he heard that his mother was punished and injured by the Queen Mother.

I didn’t expect that such a long time has passed and my mother’s legs and feet are still not healed!

"Mother, I'll go to the Imperial Hospital and ask someone to come and take a look at you!"

"Someone has come to see it, Mingjing, don't worry."

The eldest princess can sit on the chair now, but not for too long.

Sitting for too long will still cause pain.

So Pei Ding came up with an idea. He ordered people to sew cushions on all the stools and places to sit in the mansion.

"Dad, has the King of Western Frontier left?"

Pei Qing knew that the King of Xijiang had sneaked to the capital at the invitation of his father, and the two of them met.

He could roughly guess what his father and the King of Western Frontier were going to discuss.

"I left a long time ago. From now on... our family will have no relationship with the State of Zhao at all."

Pei Ding's last sentence was very meaningful. He said it to Pei Qing and also to Shi Wan who was beside Pei Qing.

He knew how treasonous this decision was for the Pei family, who had always been loyal to the Zhao royal family.

Therefore, he would not blame anyone if the two children did not choose to be with him.

He would just send the two children to another country until the matter was settled.

Shi Wan, who was sitting next to Pei Qing, felt a pang in her heart when she heard this.
