Your Majesty, Please Get Away - C220

“Alright, give me two days. I will thoroughly investigate the pathogen.” Xiao Qingran said in a low voice: “I’ll leave the rest to you.”

“Don’t worry, I will do my best.”

Just as the two of them were chatting, Li Er ran over and said, “Miss, the person you told me to look for has been found.”

“Where is he now?”

“Whirlwind is leading people over here.”

Xiao Qing Qing nodded and looked at Liu Suifeng, “There are so many patients nowadays. I know that you have to find all the doctors and herbs in the city when you can’t come here by yourself. I will have the Flower Hall send some to you later.”

Liu Suifeng said solemnly, “Alright.”

After Xiao Qing Qing accepted the quest, she took Riko and left. She did not immediately go find Wei Chi but went to Wolf Claw.

The people on the other side knew what was going on in the city, but they didn’t receive her orders. They were all extremely anxious, and they waited for her to come with great difficulty before swarming over like a swarm of bees.

The people of Wolf Claw surrounded him and started talking all at once. Xiao Qing’s ears hurt from the noise, but after listening carefully, she could only come up with some ideas.

Even though most of those ideas were rancid, Xiao Qing was happy. At least they had the thought of joining forces against a common enemy. That was good enough. It meant that the training they had done in the past few days had not been in vain.

“That’s enough, you don’t have to be so anxious. When I ask you to take action, I will naturally tell you all. What you need to do now is to improve your mutual understanding as soon as possible.” Xiao Qing was not anxious about their mission as she thought that she should use her soldiers at the most crucial time.

“Mistress, the city has been a mess recently. How could we have the heart to train?” One of them said.

They had also heard of the natural disaster ten years ago. At that time, the imperial government could not send out anyone to save the city, and the people in the city had to spend more than ten years to recover to such a state. If they had to do it again …

Some people also started a discussion and wanted to help Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing Ran twirled her fingers and spoke in a very calm tone, “If you are going to mess around because of such a small matter, it means that all your training during this period of time was in vain. This way, you don’t have to work for me anymore.”

When those words came out, those people immediately shut their mouths.

Xiao Qing`er glanced at Riko without a word, but the latter took a step forward and raised her head: “All of you, listen carefully. Since you are all Miss’s people now, then we should also talk about the rules. Don’t ask what you aren’t supposed to ask, and don’t say what you aren’t supposed to ask. Miss has her own reasons for doing things, all you need to do is listen to my orders. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and lowered their heads.

“Master’s orders are to follow!”

Xiao Qing Qing nodded and revealed a ‘virtuous smile’. She then called Uncle Li and the others over to discuss what would happen next. Although Wolf Claw’s people couldn’t be easily moved, they still had to prepare in advance in case of any mishaps.

Riko understood the rules. She knew that her young lady always had a sense of propriety when she did things. However, she was also baffled. It was as if someone had arranged everything regarding the plague beforehand.

When she said those words to Xiao Qingyi, the latter actually laughed. “That’s great. Li Er, now you have the ability to discern matters with your eyes as well.”

“Miss, what do you mean?”

I’ve asked Liu Suifeng about it in private. Logically speaking, there should be many types of plague in spring and summer, but there are only a few that occur in winter, and this time, the plague is occurring too quickly.

“I’ve also learned about the plague ten years ago. As those people said, it’s exactly the same as this one. If the first time was a coincidence, then the second time was extraordinary. ”

Riko was astonished. “Miss, you mean that someone has taken care of you, but how is that possible? This is, after all, a natural disaster.

“Are you sure no one can?” Xiao Qing gave a cold laugh as a cold light flashed in the depths of her eyes.

Riko suddenly thought of something when she saw Ye Ci’s expression. Instantly, her eyes widened. “Wei Chi!”

If what Miss said was true, then the plague from ten years ago was also his doing. This man was obviously premeditated, he had planned for ten years or more to stay in the position of the local tyrant.

That’s right, that’s right, I heard that Mayor Hua’s father was killed by Wei Chi, didn’t he say that his father was going to be killed because he knew about it?

After thinking through the whole matter, Li’er quickly responded, “Miss, don’t worry. I’ll go find the closest servant to Wei Chi and definitely won’t let any clues slip by.”

Xiao Qing Qing nodded, “I remember. If he makes any progress, you don’t have to report to me first. Tell Liu Suifeng to get the antidote ready as soon as possible.”

“Yes sir!”

She could leave the matter of the plague to her, but apart from that, she was more worried about Hua Chengyi. Now that Wei Chi already knew that they were in contact with each other in private, it was very likely that they would do something small during this period of time.

Fortunately, Hua Chengyi and the others were determined, so even the few City Lords who came over to persuade them were not bewitched. This made Xiao Qing Qing feel slightly more at ease.

The situation in the city was getting worse with each passing day. The current situation could no longer be described as the loss of the refugees.

It was winter, but the streets were filled with the smell of decay. No matter which alley you looked at, there were people who died but weren’t buried in time. The citizens were all panic-stricken and didn’t know what was happening, causing the entire city to fall into chaos.

However, there were too few doctors in the imperial court, and Liu Suifeng only had around ten people. This would make things difficult for them, so the newly concocted medicine could only be given to the most seriously ill people. It would still take some time for the entire city to be considered.

Even though it was raining, right now, in order to stabilize his position in the city, Wei Chi had sent his soldiers to massacre the people who had gotten the plague for the sake of the public. In addition, he had sealed off the city to prevent anyone from leaving.

Everyone knew that he was taking this opportunity to suppress them.

In these ten days, Su Qianhan had set up many tents and brought out food and medicine for the residents of the city. Even so, the supply was still insufficient. After all, the spread of the plague was too fast for humans to handle.

Fortunately, Su Qianhan was not someone to be trifled with. He acted swiftly and decisively by ordering people to dig a tunnel outside the city and secretly send people to escort the people outside. The patients were also arranged to be taken care of.

All of this was done secretly, and by the time Wei Chi realised it was already too late, he knew that he had lost his people’s will, and if he wanted to regain control of the city, he could only use a forceful method.

When he called his men out of the city to deliver the message to the other city lords, Xiao Qingqing knew that their time had come.

She purposely sent out a rumor that Su Qianhan had died from his injuries and even found someone to carry the coffin out of the Mayor’s mansion. When Wei Chi saw the coffin, he finally made up his mind.

Hua Chengyi had long known about what had happened to Xiao Qing Ran. The reason why he had not taken any action was because he was waiting for this moment. All he needed to do was to work with the other City Lords to stop Wei Chi’s men from taking action.

Six against six, it wasn’t that everyone couldn’t see Wei Chi’s current situation. Whoever gained the upper hand was clear at a glance. Those old foxes were no fools, they didn’t need to risk their lives for the sake of Wei Chi.

When the two sides fought outside the city, Xiao Qing suddenly made her move.

This was the time to use the wolf claws.

Su Qianhan had long since secretly taken control of the people guarding the city. He had been on the battlefield for so many years, and such a small matter wasn’t too difficult for him.

At this moment, many of the important alleys in the city were occupied by Su Qianhan’s men. With Xiao Qingyi’s assistance, the battle was won easily. When Wolf Claw and his men rushed into the City Lord’s Mansion, Wei Chi knew that he had lost.

“City Governor, I haven’t seen you these days, how have you been?” When Xiao Qing Ran appeared, she was clad in white. The heavy snow from a few days ago had melted, and her clothes were even more prominent in the yard.

“Don’t be happy too early.” Wei Chi was half-knelt on the ground as he glared at her, “The outside of the city is now filled with my men. With just a single command from me, they will all rush in. Do you think a woman like you will be able to hold onto the City Lord’s position?”

“Alone?” Xiao Qing Ran raised her eyebrows. “Who said I’m the only one?”

Wei Chi’s face was twisted as he sneered, “Just with trash like you? Now that Su Qianhan is dead, even if you win this fight, what’s the use? Or could it be that you’ve long been unable to wait for a man to step down from the throne? ”

“Shut up!” The kick of the oppressive Whirlwind fiercely kicked his lower leg, directly kicking him to the ground.

He half-knelt on the ground and laughed out loud, “I didn’t know that you’re so good at training people. This dog slave’s master is already dead, and yet he’s still treating you so well. Could it be that you’ve used some tricks on him as well?”

Wei Chi’s words were unpleasant to the ears, and the sudden gust of wind made his teeth itch. If it wasn’t for the fact that this old fox could still be kept alive, he would have long since used a single slash to pick him out.

However, Xiao Qing didn’t seem to care much about the man’s bad mouth. She waited for him to curse at her for being too weak before raising her eyebrows: “If the Mayor is done, it’s time to get back to business, right?”

Wei Chi stared at her. “Hehe, what do you want to do?”

“Of course, since you miss Qian Han so much, and you can’t leave him with every word you say, it’s not like I want to bring you to see a real person.”
